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.

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.
