retirement the fourth quarter by leslie honmok feedback letters already received from readers even though this aoohimn is barely three rjreeks old at time of rwriling emphasize the vtmany reasons seniors have for complaining about the way both bureaucrats in various levels of government and society in general treat us r examples ed st catharines ive been ring to get a parttime without any luck 4 because hiring retirees is too complicated for in dustry and personnel tryii ij people barely glance at an oldsters credentials ab kitchener i often wonder why it is so hard here in canada for people to look forward to the golden years in european countries elderly people are respected cherished and taken care of by their loved ones attitudes in north american society housing etc- discourage three generations living under one roof tb owen sound im fed up with paying my taxes for all this fancy education property tax on our modest bungalow is now over 1000 more than half of which goes to school taxes lw calgary surely weve earned respect and should be able to live with dignity not in poverty and pity older people up to a reasonable level of in come should pay little or no taxes property in come sales etc mc stonffvllle there are all kinds of lonesome- bored retirees from former ditch diggers to former bank presidents they want society to do better than toss them on the scrap heap stouffer family foundations deep strong ft byjeanbarkey laura stouffer married george collard one of our former druggists to this couple were born one son and three daughters alan

family another sister jean family pet is destroyed for attacking boy v stouffville a two yearold purebred csheepdog has been rdestroyed following a feb 9 attack on 10 year old richard vallee of jhurch st the animal the family pet of robert hughes of rose ave had never bitten anyone jj before in accordance with health department regulations the dog was held for 14 days and was then destroyed z boy who was attacked suffered bites to the face which required to stitches to close mr bughes rushed the child to the medical centre for attention z according to mr hughes the decisionto gut the dog to sleep was made within half an hour of the incident in the march 3 issue of the tribune it was incorrectly stated that mr hughes had been summonsed for keeping a vicious dog police had issued a summons but as mr hughes decided of his pwn accord to destroy the dog the summons jyas rescinded beforeit could be served s a conviction under the vicious dog laws only empowers the court to grder the animal destroyed married alton perkins who also resided in colorado usa no descendants fred stouffer moved to tacoma washington and raised three sons and one daughter maude who married otto wellan i presume that all of freds family are still in the usa this concludes the sketch of the stouffer family history a very limited sketch we can only surmise why our ancestors not only the stouffers but all the pioneer families left their comfortable homes in pennsylvania to suffer hardships in a new land perhaps its was the lure of cheap land our forebearers of dutch stock were comfortably well off on their farms south of the border nevertheless to all the pioneer families who worked so hard dreamed dreams of a great future we pay tribute in this our centennial year in the words of our great uncle dave stouffer who saidthese foundations were laid deep broad and strong deep in the principles and peace- righteousness and in dustry broad in the coat of arms in 1973 two years after regional government a small portion of markham township and a larger portion of whitchurch was amalgamated with the village markham township is represented by trie banner of the british union established 1707 and symbolizing the major part the united empire loyalists played in settling the area the white church or whit church comes from a town in england where john graves simcoes wife resided the church is flanked by a gold star mullet and chalice described in the stouffer family coat of arms it signifies stouffvilles genesis as stouffers village a gold helmet above the shield is the former seal- of whitchurch township a white dove with laurel sprig symbolizes the desire for peace and co existence but enough of examples what can we do about it all we can make wives thats what the point made by the owen sound reader suggests a worthwhile and reasonable campaign to reduce or eliminate the educational tax portion of municipal taxes at age 65 there should be more opportunities and less discouragement from government for older people to work if they want to- at realistic rates of pay in fact in voluntary retirement might well be abolished except where age is a legitimate reason union contracts pension plans etc are problems but problems which can be solved if industry organized labor and governments want to do something about it tell them older people have a 20 per cent better at tendance record have fewer accidents and are less likely to be on break when they are needed the pensions which you are getting already inadequate in many cases should at least be in dexed to the cost of living so you dont slip even further behind ojc theres a start now tell me about other areas you think should be included in a concerted senior citizens campaig for a better deal but also write phone or see regularly and reasonably your mj 1lpp mayor or reeve squawk about things in the media and through senior citizens organizations if you dont belong to one join and get active with life expectancy still going up and the birth rate dropping the ratio of old to young will continue to narrow so you see we oldsters can deliver quite a clout if we work together to achieve our fair share
