London, Ontario • • Better It's still a good ttung to make New Year`s resolutions even though they get broken in a few weeks, or even a few days. At least, for a short period, you tried to live up to something nearer your poten- tial, and it seems to me it's better to have Wed and fail- ed than never to have tried at all. A lot of people (preachers *MOM them) point to St. - Peters aborted attempt to walk to Jesus on water. They condemn him for sinking when be took his eyes off the Lord. But at least Peter tried; the other fellows in the boat wfre quaking with fear, never da�''nngg to step out on water. Marty of us are like those dlsciples....we sit in the boat with no intention of doing something innovative or dar- ing. It takes risk to do that; there's always the danger we might fail or be ridiculed. So, we play it safe...and we don't make' New Year's resolutions. Well, anyway, I'm going to go out on a limb and make one, this year, with the hope of keeping it for one day. If I can do that, I'll likely be able to keep it for two, or maybe a week. If I hold on for two weeks, perhaps it will become Seniors get tax grants The Ministry of Revenue has completed the mailing of 900,000 'Sales Tax Grant' che- ques to eligible Ontario senior citizens. These $50 cheques are sent automatically each year to all Ontario residents aged 65 or over, to help offset the retail sales tax they pay. This year's sales tax grant payout totals nearly $45 million. "It is the government's belief that Ontario's seniors deserve special relief from provincial retail sales tax," commented Bud Gregory, Ontario's Revenue Minister. "Approximately 900,000 seniors throughout the pro- vince will receive sales tax grant cheques over the next few days. "Those who have turned 65 since September will receive their cheques in January of 1984." In his statement to the Legislature, Gregory also provided an update on the processing of "Ontario Pro- perty Tax Grant application's. The Property Tax Grant is provided annually, in two in- stallments, to eligible seniors who complete an application form and return it to the Ministry. The grant is design- ed to offset the municipal and school property taxes paid by seniors either through their property tax or rent payments. "As of mid-November, the Ministry of Revenue has pro- cessed approximately 98% of the 557,612 completed Proper- ty Tax Grant applications received since our initial mail -out in September," said the Revenue Minister. "So far, we havenailed 544,121 grant cheques, each averag- ing 5243. This means that the average annual entitlement for seniors in 1983 is approx- imately $460 per household."

My resolutions is to stop wasting time and energy on petty things.Doris Longacre, own. Perhaps it will lead you to make one, too. Life is too short to keep the house dusted and vacuumed all of the time. . Lite is too short to get upset It seems tome... by Gwyn Whilsmith who wrote the More with Less Cookbook, is my inspiration. She was a vibrant, energetic lady whom I heard speak on one occasion. Unfortunately, while she was still very young, she died with cancer. Shortly before she passed away, she wrote down all the things life was too short for, e.g., "Life is too short to work in a room without a window. Life is too short to ice cakes, cakes are good without icing. It's too short to have fancy bedspreads you can't sleep under." After reading her list, I was moved to comp, my at someone's careless remark. They probably had no intention of hurting me in the first place. Life is too short to wear myself out preparing exotic dishes so that I'm too tired to enjoy my guests. Plain, sim- ple food tastes fine with good conversation. Life is too short not to write to my children and grand- children regularly. Life is too short not to sit down and rest when I'm tired. Life is too short to read all the magazines that come in- to the house. Life is too short to stay in- side when the sun is sparkling on the soft snow, when buds are bursting, when leaves are turning. Life is too short to make a critical remark instead of an encouraging one. Lite is too short to worry if my shoes snatch my dress. Life is too short not to telephone my friend and tell her she's important to me. Life is too short not to give at least one person a hug every day. Life is too short to,urse old grudges. •Lifeis too short not to visit my dear old friends at the nursing home. Life is too short to bicker over' senseless details with my spouse. Life is too short to remember only the sad things of life. If, as the Bible says, life is like a mist that vanishes quickly, then it seems to me it really is too short not to en- joy, every day to the fullest ...tooshortalso,to dwell on the petty events when there are so many wonderful things to take up our time. - • DOGS ENJOY RIDE, TOO - The slopes of Morrison Dam were busy Sunday after- noon a)many toboggans and skiis were in action.
