levy was outlined to Exeter council at a special meeting, Thursday

ratepayers will use. The increase is 13.5 mills.

p.m.

school students headed by the Cadets were in the parade.

automobile.

75 YEARS AGO

and so there may be no excuse for anybody, the government has ex-
tended the time for making income returns to May 31.
According to the St. Marys Journal. St. Marys has no parks. In
other words there is no place where the town lover can sit down and
tell her the old, old story that no age has been able to transplant.
At Centralia, Mr. Dan Hodgson has purchased a new Ford car,

Strike continues into
fourth week in Hensall
HENSALL - The strike at Gener-
al Coach in Hensall continues into
its fourth week, but employees feel
strongly that an end is quickly ap-
proaching.
What that end will be is up for
speculation among the 140 sulkers.
Non -unionized employees inside
the plant have told workers on the
line that the plant is about to shut
down.
"Other non-union employees
have been coming out here," said
one striker who wishes not to be
identified. "The bus line is def-
initely gone, they say. They (man-
agement) claim that its the only
thing that was keeping the com-
pany going."
"We saw them take a lot of stuff
out of here in trucks on Friday."
General Coach has been pro-
ducing small, lightweight buses for
three years, as well as recreational
vehicles.
A supervised vote by the Min-
istry of Labour was scheduled for
last Wednesday, at the request of
management. It was cancelled
when management was told that the
vote had to be conducted with the
standing offer. Management at-
tempted to use an updated offer.
That new offer from the company
was included instead in a letter sent
to each employee's home. Man-
agement wanted to reach the em-
ployees directly.
Both sides of the strike continue
to disagree on the issue of cheap la-
bour, referred to as "new em-
ployees in management's contract
offer. Management wants to hire
employees at $4.00 an hour less
than the current rate at the plant.
The employees also want to start a
pension plan.
"There are basically pennies be-
tween ratifying and not," said one
striker. "I just don't know why they
(management) are holding out."
Spirits still remain high on the
picket lines, as the workers are out-
side the plant around the clock in
three shifts. On Friday a small dis-
pute occurred between an in-
dependent trucker and an em-
ployee, but it was quickly settled.
An employee who has been in-
volved with union leadership for
twelve years, says that he has never
seen the employees stronger.
"A lot will happen in the next two
weeks. The plant will either close
down, or workers will get back to
work."
Try to make the right
choices for your skin
Grade 12 students from South Huron District High School have sub-
mitted articles to the T -A which are based on their recent research in
the area of consumer awareness. One of these consumer articles will
run in the next two issues on the business page. We wish to extend our
congratulations on their excellent efforts.
Soap
By Gabrielle R. Allen
The first batch of soap was made 2500 years ago out of boiled fat
and wood ashes. Today's soap is not so different. Today's soap con-
tains beef tallow or vegetable oil rather than goat fat, and uses lye rath-
er than wood ashes.
Today's soap comes in many varieties and affect a person's skin in
different ways. For example, one soap might be scented while another
may not be. This tells the average buyer that there is a soap out there to
meet all the buyers' needs and preferences. People should be careful on
what they buy because scented soap can be harmful to the skin and
may cause the skin to break out in a rash. Some other soaps can cause
rough skin.
Looking at just the facts, Dove costs 1.4 cents per wash while other
brands may cost the average buyer up to 66.8 cents per wash. I found
that the least expensive soap was only 0.9 cents per wash, but as we all
know the cheapest is not necessarily the best, but the most expensive
isn't necessarily the best either.
Don't be influenced by commercials or ads. Just know the facts, so
that the right choices for your skin can be made. Many have soft skin
but the percent of people who don't have soft skin can attain it by mak-
ing the right choices.
Klopp announces additional
registration workstation
TORONTO - Paul Klopp, MPP
for Huron announced Wednesday
on behalf of Consumer Minister
Marilyn Churley, the introduction
of a business registration worksta-
tion in Goderich and Walkerton,
which will make it easier and fast-
er for entrepreneurs to register a
new business with the province.
The announcement is part of the
Ontalripgovernment's Clearing the
Path Project, a long term plan to
cut red tape by streamlining and
simplifying business and reporting
processes.
"Small business is the biggest
generator of new jobs in our econ-
omy," Mr. Klopp said. "If we're
serious about encouraging small
business growth and creating jobs,
then we've got to get serious about
cutting red tape at all levels of
government."
Clearing the Path was launched
in September 1994, with sixteen
self-help computer workstations in
communities across the province.
Beginning this May, an additional
34 workstations will be installed.
By early 1996, entrepreneurs will
have access to 50 user-friendly
workstations. The Goderich regis-
tration workstation will be located
at the Land Registry Office, 38
North Street, and the Walkerton
workstation will be located at the
Ministry of Agriculture, Food and
rural Affairs Office, 203 Caylcy
Street. Both workstations OW be
up and running in the month of
June.
"These workstations have al-
ready helped well over 5000 small
business owners complete their
business registration forms at one
convenient location," said MPP
Klopp. "Entrepreneurs are delight-
ed with this new service. It means
they have less red tape to wrestle
with."
The Goderich and Walkerton
registration workstations will let
unincorporated business owners
complete applications for Business
Name, Retail Sales Tax vendor
permit, Employer Health Tax,
Health Tax for the self-employed
and Workers' compensation as
necessary. An unincorporated busi-
ness can be a sole proprietorship
(an individual who operates a busi-
ness) or a general partnership (a
business with two or more part-
ners). In addition, clients will be
able to conduct their own Business
name search.
