the selfcmplo ed and professionals of the labor force simi iar opportunity as those working for large cor porations to set up retirement plan Registered Retirement Savings Plan is meant to be exactly that retirement plan in 1957 when the legislation was introduced it was to encourage savings for retirement and that means as long as the person lives The only way know of that will ensure that income will come to you for the rest of your life is to purchase life annuity if you do not wish to purchase an annuity you should do some financial planning before age 71 The legislation was never meant to be an cumulator of taxfree lump sums The movement nt years to wm retire ment incomes for eir peoplewhat of their plans Are we to create two classes Those that can handle their money at retirement

letter is in regard to The Examiner of Oct 13 comic section on Page 13 The comic in question is BC called the office and was advised to write to make sure that the same thing does not luppen again Believe me Im very broadminded per son and think BC is extremely funny but for the sake of all children who can read feel that the word bitch should have been substituted eg complain or something similar It was my 12yearold son who drew my at tention to the word because most children turn to the comic section first also have sevenyearoid daughter in Grade and she too always looks at the com ics and has just recentl learned how to read As you know profanity in the streets today is on the increase and feel that the younger children do not need the help of comic strip do ho you will take note of my com ments an appreciate my concern Dorothy Williams Ticket blues ticket on Dunlop Street West on Thursday Oct 13 at515pm As am not resident of Barrie and am un familiar with the bylaws the placement of the sign still baffles me It is in the same spot as one which restricts parking from sign to intersection rather than rom intersection to intersection There were approximately 10 other vehicles which received parking tickets so am sure wasnt the only person who misunderstood the sign If vehicles shouldnt park during rush hour the meters should be covered or sign placed on each meter As was on in the store no longer than five minutes bylaw enforcement officer must have been in hidl recording each licence number as the vehic arked in order to have all those tickets tten in such short period of time Your bylaw enforcement officer must cer tainly meet his quota for parking tickets Your city wasnt the least bit hesitant at taking my 10 cents for parking and saw no around to reimburse me By BILL KNOWLES Lets begin with something that bothers me fair bit OK know lots of things appear to bother me fair bit guess bother easily or events and people bother me too easily perhaps Im agetlin old too Well what bothers me most at this par ticular moment is that we will have federal election in April probably and none of the three major Parties will have bothered to nominate their res two candidates until month or two ahea of the election So Wlliit you say Well Im one of those that believe that our federal officials are pretty important people and have heavy responsibility and must be able to assume and handle that responsibili tv And the problem is that by waiting until the last minute to even find out who the pros tivc candidates are for the available of ice we can all be midled by smooth talker or high price publicity campaign or whatihavcyou If the public has six months for example Caveat The buried Sgt Ronald McKean last Satur ay Prior to his death on Wednesday Oct 12th 1977 he had been police officer in the Town of Collingwood In the evening of that fateful day while he and another officer were checking out what national news dispatch was to call routine tip Sgt McKean was shot and killed resulting in charge of first degree murder being laid against two men There are very few oplc who find their niche in life and reafljer enjoy their work Ron McKean loved police work He atc drank and breathed it 24 hours day And manyatime when he was working on case sleep seemed to be of little or no considera tion to him He was hard as nails and soft as butter all rolled into one and had courage that knew no bounds we want your opinion it an original copy and sign it Wc dont publish unsigned lcilcrs although pro name will be used upon rcqucst

Ezekiel 3513 14 Lifting your voice against Gods work or His people is an invitation to indescriblc pro blems fight Whether it was physical ordeal or verbal argument he took on all comers with no holds barred He never asked for quarter yet he would go out of his way to help someone if he felt they deserved it Fighting crime and protecting the weak and innocent were the major objectives in his life As policeman he was able to devote his full time and attention to what was his work his vocation and his hobby NEVER AME UP WANTING When called as witness for the prosccu tion which he was on numerous occasions he was master at being one step ahead of the defence counsel He would field question after question thrown at him by law ers in cross examination and because he ways did his homework before Court he never came up wanting in the witness box His favorite tactic was to wait for long ambiguous or convoluted question to emerge from defence counsel Then with only the slightest whisp of grin that betrayed his olhenvisc serious countenance he would say Would you repeat that question please knowing that it would be an impossible BSA for counsel to do At the same time he had great respect for the workings of the judicial process and had trained himself selfstudy as well as retur Attorncy in presenting his case to the Court Wealth and status meant little or nothing to Ron McKean He accepted people for their true worth their ethics and integrity Those that tried to throw their wcight around because of their wealth or status soon found themselves out dowr to pro size There was simply no way that an in ividual was go ing to get his charges droppcd or hushed because of his otherwise respected slan ding in the community liy the same tokcn he was not convrction happy cop lic simpl felt that the law had to be just as equitable or the poor as it was for the rich and that it made no difference if the individual was the president of corporation or labourer Unfortunately this dedicated young police officer of 32 years of age died before he had an opportunity to brin to maturity what would have undoubted been brilliant career Yet in the midst of this ublic and rsonal tragedy that his wife an famil his police force and his community have fallen heir to can not resist smi when think of Ron to check out and listen to their Partys can didatcs for the nomination the chances of getting the man or woman you really want are improved hundredfold Taking the opposite stand if there is only month or two to make the decision the urgen cy may cause the choice of person that turns out to be the op osite of what you want In Simcoe South new federal riding in which we all live none of the three Parties have planned to hold their nominating con ventions this year as far as know think this is irresponsible to say the least And in tend to keep saying it too WASNT ll NICE Wasnt it nice for the Jamaican Premier Eric Manley to greet Premier Castro with 2Igun salute and award him Jamaicas top award TEARS IN MY EYES It has been while since felt tears in my eyes but last Friday it happened again When the curtain opened at Central Col legiate during the Silver Jubilee per formance there stood the Military guard of honor with flags waving behind and beside them including the Union Jack The band played God Save the Queen the guard presentedarms and we all sang the familiar words to our former national an them lt felt good and wasnt the only one with damp eyes like the Union Jack flying beside our Maple Leaf was sorry that the Queen in her speech in Ottawa didnt have somethin stronger to say about national unity thoug feel that she could have been more firm about Canada kce ing herself in one piece but the Monarch is ways hesitant to interfere these days Too

telling of the story as Gord got flustered as he stated that ose that were And second it doesnt have afly real grip on the problems of the day partic arly the eco nomic situation Against this the
