Until now the one constant we could rely on with GST was "WE charge everyone." However, as we all know, when dealing with government anything is possible. Apparently the federal government and its crown corporations had announced it would pay the GST and apply for credits like everyone else. The water became muddy when It came to the provincial governments, provincial crown corporations and other provincial bodies. Now, low and behold, the Ontario government, exercising their constitutional right, has decided that rather than go through the process of paying the GST and applying to the federal government for credits, they will file for exemption from GST certificates. Those who deal with provincial departments will now be forced to keep a list on hand of those who have been granted a letter of exemption or an exemption from GST ca!tif!cate. More paper work added to the nightmare as It unfolds! As . Paul Flocaa, Ontario Community Newspapers As- sociation treasurer said In a recent GST update, "it is certainly Interesting to see that our provincial government has taken the lead in becoming the first exceptloji to the simple 'We charge everyone' rule. We should appreciate their assistance in making a complicated tax even more complicated." 1 HAVEAN OPINION? Express it by sending a letter to the editor of the Lucknow Sentinel.

Grandma, I just love all those large potted plants you have. After a couple of hours, Jack settled down in a spot that looked down upon the family room. He had a bird's eye view of the comings and goings of everyone, including his enemy Chipper. Actually Chipper was a very good host most of the visit. Twice during the three days, they came to blows and fur was flying; however, no major injuries were sustained.

I figured we'd have all out war if the cat and dog got at it while we were sleeping. But, no, Mr. Fixit won the discus- sion, saying he'd he fine. We were sleeping in a bedroom on the lower level, and just as I was dozing off, I heard this funny noise, which appeared to be coming from the ceiling of our room. Mr. Fixit believed it was coming from dad's bedrooni, which was immediately above ours. I told him my dad must have grown awfully long toe nails, if he was making that noise. You guessed it, the scratching was Jack, who had somehow, through Mr, Rat and 1 had wiped %our_ our memories what an ordeal travelling with "children" can bop Ita cam bac in vivid colour. .during the holidays. We were spending the few days around Christmas with my family and that necessitated a two-hour drive. it has been a long time Since Number One Son needed to be amused on a long trip, so we had forgotten how a mere two hours can stretch into what feels like forever, when you have whining "little one" in the car. Gone were those days when we would have been smart enough to take favourite toys and snacks along, to make the tedious`,ourney speed by for the youngest member of our family. Our four -legged "youngster's" only experience of travelling had come with trips to the local rabies clinic or the vet's office. As we coaxed him into his own little travelling cage, be Skew same a sarcastic look that said "I love you too!" The poor little guy had visions of being on the receiving end of a sharp needle, having some man, with large hands, peke and prod his body or force pins down his wee throat. We had contemplated leaving him at home with lots of food and water, but Mr. Fixit felt sorry for him, saying he wouldn't see anybody for three whole days! I'm sure if Jack could talk, his reply would have been, "It's okay dad, leave me at home, I'll be fine. Really, I'm a big boy now." If cats get sore throats, he must have had one by the time we reached Georgetown.

Once tweu, he was banished to the laundry room The next morning, mom was up before the rest of us, and hearing poor Jack crying in the laundry room, she let him out. Now despite the fact that his bathroom facilities were provided, he apo parently took a keen liking to the large potan orange tree was growing in, When I arose, my mother in- formed me that she thought Jack had done his business in this plant. I laughed and said, "No way, mom, his kitty liner is in the laundry room, he wouldn't do that." Unfortunately, the dirt scat- tered cattered on the carpet, and the little dirty paw marks around the pot, were substantial evidence that he had been doing something in the pot! Guess who got to cheek oat the pot. Well, it wasn't Mr. Fixitl it's been a long time since I've had to face that kind of mess first thing in the morning. I was not impressed with the bad manners of my feline! The rest of ourvisitwent smoothly. Jack behaved himself and just as he was becoming ac- customed to everything, it was time to pack him back up and head home. I thought the trip down was bad. It was a piece of cake compared to the ride home. Our "child" was in a pout and didn't hesitate to let us know it. By the time we ar- rived home, my head was poun- ding. Next year. for Christmas. Jack is getting an all expense paid trip to the local kennel!
