Better than not trying
• It's still a good thing 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 tried and fail-
ed than never tohave tried at
all.
A lot of people (preachers
among them) point to St.
Peter's aborted attempt to
walk to Jesus on water. They
condemn him for sinking
when be toile his eyes off the
Lord. But a east Peter tried;
the other fellows in the boat
were quaking with fear, never
daring to step out on water.
Many of us are like those
disciples....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 applications.
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 have mailed 544,121
grant cheques, each averag-
ing $243. This means that the
average annual entitlement
for seniors in 1983 is approx-
imately $460 per household."

Ontario Tax Grants for

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.
Shortlbefore she passed
away, s rote 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 compile 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 t' d.
Life is too short to read 11

to the house.

Yeitxursting, when leaves are

Life is too short to make a
critical remark instead of an
encouraging one.
Life is too short to worry if
my shoes match my dress.
Life is too short not to

her she's important to me.
'Life is too short not to give

Life is toes short not to visit

Life is too short to

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
...too short also,to dwell on the
petty events when there are
so many wonderful things to
take up our time.
