A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT From the words of a song: C is for the Christ Child born upon that day, H for Herald angels in the night, R means our Redeemer, 1 means Isreal, S is for the Star that shone so bright, T is for Three Wise Men they who travelled far, M is for the Manger where He lay, A is for All He stands for, S means Shepherds came, and that's why there's a Christmas Day. As I look around me those letters stand for what Christmas has become over the years. C is for our children getting everything they want, H for houses shining bright with lights, R means rush and get ready, I means I don't have time, S for the same old songs we always sung, T is for the three days we get off of work, M is for the many paries everywhere, A is for all the presents, S means Santa came, and that's why there's a Christmas day. As this special day approaches I hope that we will each take time to remember the true reason for our celebrating. YOUTH FOR CHRIST RALLY Saturday, December 1 the regular Youth For Christ Rally was held at Huron Centennial School. Ron Westlake opened the meeting with the singing of choruses.

Q: I'm thinking of buying a new car in 1991. How will the proposed GST affect prices? A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax (FST) is now part of the price of new cars. So, while they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991, the expected effect of replacing the FST with the GST on the average $22,000 mid-size car is a reduction of around $850. Q: My son has figured out it will cost $500 in lumber to build a dock at our cottage if he bought it now. How much will that lumber cost with the proposed GST? A: You can expect to pay about $512 for that same amount of lumber for personal use based solely on the changeover from the FST to the GST. Q: 1 knotv the proposed GST won't apply to city bus fares but 1 take the commuter train to work. Will 1 have to pay GST? A: No. Daily commuter trains are considered a municipal transit service, so fares are exempt from GST. We're here to answer your questions about. how the GST will affect prices. Call us toll-free Monday to Friday 9am-9pm. Ask for your free copy of the "Consumer's Guide to the GST and Prices'.'
