Church service this Sunday will be held in Epsom Church at the regular hour of 11:00 a.m. with Rev. Arch McCurdy of Toronto with us. The Denzil Irving family will be leaving our community this Fri- day and I would like to send best wishes with them as they move to Sault Ste. Marie. We'll surely miss their presence in our community. We were all saddened on Satur- day when news reached us of the sudden passing of a neighbour, friend and fellow church member, Walter Kerry. Sympathy to Elva, Paul, Donna & Jeff, Mark and Glen in their bereavement as well as to his mother Edna and his brothers Arnold & Raymond. Our thoughts are with you at this time. Word has also been received of the passing of Doug MacCannell's wife Jean who will be known by a few people who have lived in the Epsom & Utica communities for a while. Our sympathy to Doug & his family. GST to lower tax burden on new cars If you're planning to wait for the GST to come into effect in 1991 to reduce the price of new cars and trucks, here is important in- formation you should consider. It's true that the 7 percent Goods and Services Tax (GST) will lower the tax burden on new vehicles when it replaces the cur- rent Federal Sales Tax and that the manufacturers have indicated they will pass the reduction on to consumers. Published reports in- dicate a possible price reduction ranging from 2 percent to 4 per- cent on the 1991 model prices in ef- fect January 1,.1991. But before you say 'not today' to the brand new car or truck of your dreams, consider this: * In September, 1991 models will likely be priced higher than the 1990 models. * Right now, some dealers are offering reduced rate financing and other incentives to make pur- chasing or leasing a new vehicle today more attractive. Who knows how long these offers will continue? * 1990 models are in good supp- ly now and you can generally ex- pect prompt delivery on the model with the trim and the op- tions you want. With the expected higher demand at the start of next year, your choice may be limited. * Dealers want to reduce their 1990 model inventories now before the 1991's start rolling in. * Finally, if you have a trade-in and you're planning to wait until 1991 for your new car or truck, don't forget that your trade may reduce in value and that you may be faced with repair and winteriz- ing costs in the interim. Inciden- tally, if you're thinking of leasing, remember that 7 percent GST will apply to monthly payments on lease contracts signed after December 31, 1990. If you lease before 1991, only the lease payments due on or after January 1, 1994 are subject to GST. Consider the pros and cons carefully. It may well be that the right time to drive away in your TELE END new, car, or truck is right. nq --- Te sa 8 8% so ws bd evr "i There will also be a Vacation Bible School held at Epsom Church from August 13th to 17th 9:30 - 11:30 a.m..
