The SES, which has been in operation for more than a year, was al- most forced to close its doors due to lack. of funding. The centre recently received an $18,000 grant from the Ministry of Employment and Immigration under the Self Employ- ment Program. The short-term funding should allow the centre to remain open for at least six months. Pictured taking part in the grand opening ceremonies were (front, from left) Durham MP Ross Stevenson, SES manager Vonne Haigh, Scugog Mayor Howard Hall, em- ployment centre project officer Rita Reddox, and Scugog Ward 3 Councillor and chairman of the township's Economic Development Committee Ken Gadsden. "Is this a cruel joke?" Summer is over. You start to pack away those lightweight fabrics and unpack your winter woolies. "But what's this? Is it some cruel joke? | know these clothes were clean when | put them away," you say to yourself. "But . now they are covered with ugly brown stains." "Invisible stains" are caused by foods and beverages, perspiration, and hair sprays, which, when spilled, originally caused only a damp area on your clothes. For instance, if you spill ginger ale on your clothing and blot up the stain, it seems to disappear. But, in fact, the stain is still there and with heat and time, the stain will oxidize and tum brown. Oxidized stains can also appear after you store your garments in a warm closet or in the attic during the summer. Your IFI member professional drycleaner offers the following tips to avoid permanent staining by "invisible" and tannin stains. Have the article cleaned as soon as possible after it is stained. Once a stain is set, it's much harder to get out, if it will come out at all. Always have garments cleaned before storing them. Not ~ only could the "invisible" stains become visible during storage, but food and beverage stains, even "invisible" stains, are an insect's invitation to munch on clothing. building my own customer base. satisfaction. the road today. us well in our first three years. | 4 Q.

Doug Flowers Letters to the editor To the Editor: Less than two weeks to elec- tion day, yet one of the over- whelming issues of the decade is seldom even discussed. NAF- TA - the North American Free Trade Agreement - threatens to drain away Canada's resources to the Americans, cause the exo- dus of thousands of jobs, de- stroy family farms, lower social, labor and environmental stan- dards, remove the ability of even our elected politicians to chart our course as a country, and render Canada's: economy subordinate to U.S. interests. The NAFTA deal - a 1,400- page document undecipherable to the average citizen - contains provisions aimed at handing the power to decide Canada's fu- ture over to the multinational corporations.
