He said the idea "f -a Return to the '60s sa)e"has a two -fold purpose: tp attract new customers anit to give local residents a financial break during that one week. He adds that he could continue to offer prices almost this low if the govern- ment would just devise a budget to help businesses such as his. "We may not pay as much in taxes as the large business companies do, but we do pay taxes and therefore we deserve the same con- siderations. Even students are allowed grants to start a business for the summer if they have an idea for a commercial enterprise." He concludes that, "For our idea to be a real success, we need to be able to offer our meals without sales tax, "A State Farm Homeowners Policy with Inflation Coverage makes a lot of sense these days."

We have lowered our prices for this one week, and we are asking you to meet us half- way and do without the sales tax for this one week. "If this idea brings us the business we need, then the added sales in the future will benefit us and also increase the sales tax remitted to the Retail Sales Tax Branch. "We are leaving the decision to you. Your answer will tell us whether or not you are really interested in helping the small businesses as much .as you are in helping the large businesses to stay in operation." Mr. Protopapas said he is uncertain what reception his proposal will get at Queen's Park, but he does not plan to let the issue lie. "The government has done nothing for us, and I bet there are thousands more like me, struggling to keep our heads above water, and the government is doing nothing for us." He is not asking for forgivable grants or any- thing, he added, just for some sign that the politicians care whether or not he and others like him are able to stay in business. "I want more people to get up and protest — not just sit and take it!" He said the sales tax on top of the crippling interest rates and the slow economy is really hurting small business. In the last budget the province said it would help small business, he commented, but the only ones being helped are the furniture and appliance dealers.

Licences and registration will be required in Wingham under a bylaw which has been given first reading by the town council. Those who act early can get them free of charge, courtesy of the Op- timists. Tricycles and small children's bicycles are to be exempted from the licencing requirement. High education costs, stringent government regulations • and a lack of financial support . to agriculture are three topics of concern which Turnberry council members will present in a brief June 1 at Goderich. Ontario Opposition Leader David Peterson's office is spearheading a task force which is to make stopovers in many Ontario Muni- cipalities to listen to grass- roots concerns. Turnberry Township has been asked to present a brief at the June 1 task force session in the council chambers at Goderich. Turnberry councillors sounded off about escalating board of education costs as a prime concern. Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune expressed concern that more and more tax dollars are going toward education each year, regardless of the ratepayer's ability to pay. Councillor Donald Mor- rison suggested each rate- payer issue three cheques for his property taxes: one to the school board, one to the county and one to the municipality. The other members agreed, saying they'd like to see the board of education collect its own taxes. Another issue concerning Turnberry council members is the waste disposal site regulations placed upon rural municipalities at great expense to the local tax- payer. Reeve Brian Mc- Burney said he also is concerned over the amount of authority given to govern- ment agencies like the - conservation authorities and the Ministry of Natural Resources in over-riding the wishes of small municipal- ities. Present economic con- ditions also require urgent programs for financial support from government for farmers and en- couragement to young farmers, the members agreed. Councillor Randy Scott summed it by saying: "The government should do more Whitechurch Personals Mrs. Garnet Farrier ac- companied Mr. and Mrs. Jim Davis ..o(_Lucan ,and=-- Mrs.- .--FredDavis of LaSalle on the weekend.

May is Family Unity Month and to celebrate the occasion there will be a family dance in the Armouries next Friday evening. Following, Family Unity Month, it will be time to celebrate Senior Citizens' Week June 19-25. The week will be an opportunity to take some time to appreciate some important people. The theme this year is "We all havea lot to share!" Last week at the centre, we were working on tray favors for the Wingham and District Hospital Auxiliary. A foot clinic was held last Wednesday and since the Armouries had its water shut off that day, the clinic was held in the town hall. Thanks go to all the employees at the town hall who empathized with our problem and let us use the council chambers that day. The next clinic is scheduled for July 20. hopefully, at the Armouries. We will be attending the Blyth Summer Festival matinee performances June 30, July 21, Aug. 4'and Sept. 1. We have only 30 tickets for each performance, but area seniors are welcome to help fill up the bus and enjoy the performances. This week's thought is: If I were to begin life again. I should want it as it was. I would only open my eyes a little more. DENTURE THERAPY CLINIC 665-7818 or R.R. 1, NEUSTADT 1-336-6580 Horst Fete D.T. COMMUNITY CALENDAR Mei/ INSURANCE BROKERS LTD.
