No, not in the form of an "establishment' church. That, we hope, has gone forever. Rather, in the sense of the ethical principles which the church stands for, based on its theological understanding. During the years when church and state seemed to be moving apart, socially-conscious denomin- ations such as the United and Anglican churches were severely criticized for dragging questions of morality, justice, and wrongdoing into secular affairs -- what many called "meddling in politics'. But now Canadians from sea to sea are protest- ing against political abuses. The possibility that cabinet ministers may have condoned illegal acts by the RCMP, that private offices may have been bugged, and that crown corporations may have bribed foreign officials, coupled with the Prime Minister's jetting to Jamaica for a holiday while urging Canadians to keep their money at home -- all these have led to widespread demands that politici- ans should practice what they preach. The parallels between the concerns of state and church will grow. Probably, more and more candidates for parliament will become aware of the jaw-cracking stones inside political plums. Eventu- ally, those with genuine dedication to a cause, or to a set of principles, will run for office -- in church terms, only those with a calling to their ministry. We who are voters may not always agree with those causes or principles. But if we can learn to challenge our political representatives on the basis BEPLENG. 20 BINS SEN a chotterboX ..o.... Last week the Port Perry Star took on a slight different look with two minor changes on its pages. We hope you like them. Many people when reading a newspaper, do not notice graphic changes and for this reason we will explain our changes and reasons behind them. First, our "masthead". That's the red and black logo on the front page which previously read Port Perry Star and has now been changed to "the Star"'. One of the main reasons for this change resulted because of YOU, the pub- lic. In Scugog Township most regular subscribers of the newspaper refer toit as "the Star". You can hear examples "of this almost any day on the street. Things like, "don't forget to pick up the Star", or "I read about it in the Star", and even, "They never get anything right in the Star". Whatever the reason, there is no doubt that we have been labeled by our readers as "the Star". Secondly, the Star is currently going under an extensive renovation and within a few weeks will once again be the home of Star Stationary and Office Supply. To help avoid confusion it has been decided to incorporate the name of both businesses as "'the Star" so that people will iclentify us with both being the community newspaper and also an outlet for office supplies and furniture. And last, but surely not least, was the need for a change of our exterior image to match our new interior. "The Star' masthead on the newspaper gives us a fresh, modern look that is easily identified. It promotes our name on the news stand much more clearly and we hope will advertise ~ what we are trying to achieve within our walls. That pretty well sums up the front page change, but what about the other? The change on our editorial pages. It has been stressed for years at many editorial seminars attended by the staff of the Star that '"'white space' draws a readers eye to the page. White space is the areas around the typed copy on the pages, and is very important. It's hard for both advertising and editorial persons to give up white space, space we think that could be better used filled with more copy. But it is a mistake. Last week we decided as part of our change, we would open up our editorial page and allow more "white space'. And we think it has worked. What you see now is modern type, matching the front page masthead, which pops out at the reader because there is a lot of open space around them. The words "editorial page - Bill Smiley - letters - others say and Chatterbox" no longer blend into a page crammed with type. And to top it all off, they project an image - a modern, uncluttered image. - One we hope that you will grow accustomed to and enjoy. We, at the Star, like the new image, and are happy to say that every comment, excepting one, to date has been favourable. To those that think that change is not good, we can only hope you will grow accustomed to the new look and eventually accept us. At the Star we are fortunate to have a very friendly and dedicated staff, and our changes have not effected this. When Star Stationary and Office Supply is moved back to 235 Queen Street, near the end of May, our front office will be run by the familiar and capable hands of Ruby Roach, Gayle Stapley and Nancy Robinson. In the production area to the rear of the office, work will continue as usual with Valerie Mappin, advertising; Annabell Harrison, camera and make-up; Dorothy Catton and Gerri O'Connor on typesetting. Editorial and photo copy is under the very capable hands of John B. McClelland. And that leaves me, J. Peter Hvidsten, to do what so many of my "friends" think I do......NOTHING. DOLLAR SENSE The following information is from an article on how to save money by using coupons for discounts on food. With todays high cost of feeding a family, some of the points made make good "cents"'. Don't ignore the savings. If a company advertises in a newspaper, magazine or one of those coupon packages that come through the mail, you might find a coupon offering 25¢ - 50c or even a $1.00 off of some food products. If you're going to buy the food anyway, why not make the extra effort to take them along your shopping trip and get the money back from the cashier? With" any degree of alertness, it should not be too difficult to find a couple of dollars each week. in discount - coupons on products that you would buy in any case. Two dollars a week may not seem like much, but that's $100. a year, and $500. over a five-year period. That's five hundred after-tax dollars, which represents approximately $750. that you would have to earn as income in order to end up with the net of five hundred. Let's put that two dollars a week into another perspec- tive. If your bill at the supermarket is $40. per week, that two dollars represents a five per cent discount. That's five cents on every dollar. Can you afford to give away that type of money? Or think about it yet another way. Five hundred dollars represents a couple of months rent....approximately 500 gallons of gasoline for your car....or it would pay for a nice vacation in the sunny south. LAT ANG 34 TT (oped A Washes Fol hao BA of their principles and convictions, rather than on their personalities, our country cannot help but benefit from a closer association of the concerns of church and state. United Church of Canada For years now I have cursed as I waited in line at a supermarket for someone to leaf through a pile of coupons with savings on an assorted number of products. It seemed pointless to me to save up a pile of coupons only to save 25¢ here or there. But, in light of the above information, we should not be thinking of the individual savings, but the total saved over a longer period. It's time to start cutting out coupons and saving money. Every time you save 25c¢ or 50c, put the money saved into a special account for something that you would like or somewhere you would like to go. Each time you save a nickel, your dream will be that much closer. Don't just leave the money in your pocket or purse only to be squandered an hour later on a pack of cigarettes or a chocolate bar. The manufacturers are begging you to take advantage of their generosity and only two or three per cent are using them. Why not be one of them.
