GST? INFORMATION Ld | Government of Canada Canada 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: I know the proposed GST won't apply to city bus fares but I take the commuter train to work. Will I 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" The answer is to call your GST Consumer Information Office. 1-800-668-2122 Hearing Impaired 1-800-465-7735 Gouvernement du Canada Rel The Epsom-Utica U.C.W. met at Daheim Care Centre last Tues- day evening to honour those who had a November birthday party.

Annual Convention Nov. 26-28 Ontario farmers turn their sights on the world with the open- ing of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture's (OFA) annual con- vention next week. The 1990 con- vention theme is Farm locally, think globally. The convention runs from Nov. 26-28 in Toronto. Key primary industry and pro- cessing industry representatives will go head to head on the issue of competitiveness in the agri- food sector. Ken Crawford, general manager of the Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency and Bob Cuddy of Cuddy Farms; John Core, chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board and Graham Freeman, president of Ault Dairies; and Fred Fread, vice-president Operations Ser- vices, Campbell Soup and Mar- shall Schuyler, chairnian of the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Marketing Board will be three of the teams battling the issue of raw product pricing and the global economy. The issue of organic food pro- duction will be explored with help from Dr. Ian Sutherland of Agriculture Canada and Patrick Carson vice-president of en- vironmental affairs for Loblaws, home of the Green Plan. "Delegates to this year's con- vention will certainly have their eyes opened to the reality of com- Rae, petition," said OFA President Brigid Pyke. More than 400 delegates from across the province will attend the convention to hear how guest speakers Ontario Premier Bob Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food Elmer Buchanan and Federal Deputy Prime Minister Don Mazankowski, federal minister of agriculture, view the future of On- tario agriculture. Resolutions demanding that Ontario farmers be totally ex- empt from the Goods and Ser- vices Tax (GST) and that the ef- fects of inflation be factored out when calculating capital gains, will be hotly debated during the three-day convention. As will resolutions calling for credit at reduced rates for agriculture and the replacement of the current farm property tax rebate with a system of farm property tax bas- ed solely on the real cost of services. CHS to celebrate 65th anniversary THE EYE OPENER by Michelle Morton November is now upon us and December isn't too far behind. Students at C.H.S. know this and realize that this week is one of the four worst times of the year. Mid- terms! Commencement, held November 3, went rather well with Vicky Newsome receiving the honour of being valedictorian. Congratulations to all award win- ners and the best of luck to those who received their diplomas. The band has decided to trip to Sudbury in early May and members are practising for up and coming festivals and con- certs. The girls' basketball team has concluded their season while the boys' will commence theirs with a home game on November 27. Hope to see the cheerleaders out!

We are completely sold out, so if you were planning to at- tend - well I guess you were a bit behind the crowd. I'll update it all for you-in December. Br ue 0 PH v3 i a 2 ; * 5
