Restaurant plans repeat of successful meal sale BRUSSELS — He has not received an answer yet on his bid to drop the sales tax, but his last cut-price meal sale was such a success that Bill Protopapas, owner of the Olympia Restaurant, is planning another "Return to the '60s" next week. Mr. Protopapas said he has not given up on his request to suspend the sales tax as part of the promotion, but in the meantime he is going to give it another try. During his previous sale, when meal prices were slashed to the bone, the restaurant served more than 2,000 people, he reported, with customers coming from as far afield as London, Stratford, Listowel, Goder- ich and Wingham, as well as from the whole surrounding area. "If I had five or six weeks like that with regular prices, it would pay off my mort- gage." For himself, it was "a week for nothing; I didn't get paid for it," he said, so this time he probably will raise the prices by five or 10 cents to allow a bit more of a margin. "With fish and chips at 69 cents, you can't make any money." However it worked out well for his waitresses, he added. "The last time the girls took a chance and took half wages, but the tips were good and by the end .of the week they were tired but happy." Mr. Protopapas said he feels small buussinesses like his deserve ,a :break just as much as the tiiiger.ones, like the appliance ifidustry which was given a tax break recently. "It's hard to make ends meet if you don't get a break." "You'd be surprised how many people hate the sales tax, hate the government and everything else," he added. He is also concerned about the future of his restaurant because of mortgages, which he is locked into at interest rates of 18.75 and 21 per cent, and cannot renew at a lower rate unless he pays a sub- stantial penalty. He said he plans to send a letter to the • prime minister protesting the interest rates. 0 Seniors' Day Centre News By Pani Williams - The annual meeting of the Wingham and Area Day Centre for the Homebound was held last Thursday afternoon. Dr. Anne Martin - Matthews, a professor of consumer studies at the University of Guelph, was guest speaker. She gave some interesting statistics on the rural elderly in Ontario. She said she found transportation is a. major problem for the rural elderly, as is loneliness. The day centre was formed as a result of similar research, as was the centre in Clinton. They are the only rural seniors' day centres in the area. Also at the meeting, the board of directors was elected, financial reports were read and yearly reports submitted. Approximately 60 people attended the meeting. Last Wednesday, the Lyceum Theatre in Wingham opened its doors to all area senior citizens for a showing of "The Terry Fox Story". Thank you to Ward and Patti Robertson for showing this special matinee performance of a very touching and realistic movie. Many people seem to know at least one person close to MRS.
