CA When most people dollars? t's the situff dreain of winning the dreams are made of. lau lottery, they dreain of the may even have plans for big one. And who wouldn't spending it. want to win a million But what if you won the DTHAPAR- Denture Therapist 214 Dundos Ste E. Whitby 668-7797 HOURS Mon. - Sat. & Evenings.

One hundred grand is a nice manageable amount of money. t won't change your life- beyond recog;, nition, but it will give you à good start on the road ta financial security. 1 If E was lucky enough ta win, here's the'firat thing 'd do: ,EId pay off al immediate debts, including the mortgage. If E didn't own a bouse, 'd buy one. The reason is that a principal residence is the- only tax-free investment you can ever make. By acquiring one without shouldering the burden of mortgage interest, you have a tremendous ad- vantage. The hotise will increase in value over the years and you'll be living, ini effect, rent-free. In fact, the only money, you'll be out is interest you could have earned had you investled ,the 8100,000 eleswhere. When you seli the house, you won't have ta pay capital gains tai on any profit, If you're not interested in buying a house, then you could use your windfall ta change your life in a constructive way. You rnay have wanted ta change yaur job ta same- thing that requires some years af study, apprentice- ship orW investinent. The $100,000 gives you the opportunity. .You could live off the interest you earn -- about $8,000 a year - and dip into the principal at ,a controlled rate.

I thought perbaps Shakespeare, or Jullus Caesar (remember bis Gai Wars?) or John Bunyan. Wrong. My research indicates that a brillant but unknown author turned out page after page of beautiful and meanlngful- material. lis naine is Anon. Strange naine! Hlstory bas denied hlm a place of reverenoe; the world of literature quotes hlm wlth noa appreclation of bis genlus. And despite my own ixn- tensive searcblng, I flnd there la nothing available to shed ight on this remarkable author. Where dld he live? We don't know. In wbat perlod of hlstory dld he write? We don't know. But let nme sitar. wltb you some of bis tender and slgnificant pieces of writing. Here's the first: "Wbat makes a Saint.,' Wby were the saints saints? Because tbey were cheerful when it was cifficult ta be cheerful; patient; when it was difficult to be patient; And because they pushed on when they wanted ta stand stlll; And ke1,t silent when tbey wanted ta talk; and were agreeable wben they wanted ta b. disagreeable. That was ail. It was quite simple, and always wlll b.. (Anon) We do not know of wbom be was talking. Could It be of the early Chrlstians who faced lions in' the arena, or puinful deatb an the. cross, or a prison-like existence in the catacombo? Could It be 0f the early ploneers wbo faced bail, snow, searing heat and drought as they opened the American and Canadian west in the. late 18M0? We'll neyer know. But the message Is clear: the saits are those who face lfe as it la but nevertheless press on ta their goal. Here's another gem from my collection of Anon: A shlpwrecked sallor, buried on this coast Bids you set sal. Fulllnmany a gallant bark, when we were lost, Weatbered the gale <Anon) " It taok courage for the. early sailors ta venture on the bosoin 0f the seas. Accidents caused by sudden storm, shoals as yet uncharted, dragons 0f the deep, and frai! sblps often meant traglc death for ail the crew. But the buman spirit does not falter even thougit other pilgrims fail In llfe's way. Florence Nighttingale, of Crimnean war lame. faoed unbellevable odds in ber attempt ta humanlze Britisht army medical services. But ah. overcame officia Ignorance, and stupldlty and became revered as the "Lady 0f the. Lamp"l Our soclety knows too little 0f the adventurlng spirit but each tif. is faced wlth challenges and op- portunities. "Weather the gale" for the, arrivai in port ia joyoui and good. ,Anon has bis humnorous aide: The worrled cow Would have Iasted till now If site hadn't lbt ber breath. But she tbought ber hay Wouldn't last ail day, So ahe mooed berself ta deatb. (Ana,,) Dld Anon have a biblical upbrlnglng? Sounda 11k. It. Was b. thlnkldng of Jesus' words: "Gîve us thla day aur dally bread" or "Do not be overly anious about tomorraow"?9 Perbaps so. And the warning la pertinent ta aur tintes. Wiho would have tbought in this "brave new world", this "affluent" soclety, that mental Iinesa, nervous disorders, and ligbtntag boîta 0f fbar would be epldemic in Nortb America? Perbapa Anan'a next plece will help us face aur prablema witb revived hope and courage. I belleve In the sun even wben It la not sblnlng. 1 beilevea love»when not feeplingIt. 1 1
