Calîs have been reaching bath parties as ta late tax charges when the taxpayer makes dlaim that the tax return was pas ted on the last eligible date. Case in point would be a filing of a tax return in Orano that is flot starnped until it reaches the office in Toronto. Sorne of the complaints have been coming from Port Hope residents.

We enjay the time aTone where we can laugh, share ideas and indulge ourselves. A s children, w e lived îmmediately downwind of The Oshawa Bakery, it was a focal point of our euro-ethnic neighbourhood. The Oshawa Bakery specialized mostly in breads. What 1 knew as Babka (an egg- based round loaf) was a popular speciality flot available on supermarket shelves. Dozens of women, many of themn older, weaing floral scarves and carrying woven baskets, would issue requests over the counter in languages other than English. Only twice a week did the proprietors bake donuts. After lunch on Wednesday, or Church on Sunday, children frorn the neighbourhood would follow the drifting aroma and form several limes into the bakery with nickels in hand to purchase a treat. Two Russi.-!-i sisters and their brother owned the bakery. He, a large rolly-polly man with little hair, worked in the back part of thc building folding, pounding and shaping the bread. His sisters, also large and round'and with powerful arms, would remove the great trays of bread from the ovens and bring the boaves into the display cases. Our purchases were still warmn when thcy arrived home. The Village Bake Shop has been in Orono more than ten years. They are a mnember of the community family, and as Carol and Gary's family has grown, 50 has their business. First, simply the bakery, but now, one can visît the Tea Roorn for a treat or lunch, and receive pîcasant service in a frienldly atmosphere. The Villaget Bake Shop seems to be such a popular local spot . . . I know of one family who rnoved from Hooterville into Orono --- simply to be nearer! The first time I took Peg to the Tea Room, she was amazed at the table-to-table friendliness. Conversations can be private, or they can take on the personality of a room-filled discussioin. One needn't be shy at the Village Balce Shop. And, during the more than a decade that 1 have been buying my bread at the Village Bake Shop because it contained no preservatives, I would neyer have guessed until it was recently posted, that it also contains no broccoli. Jeweller closing Port Hope store The Cortesis Jewellers store in Port Hope is expected to close ibis faîl providing a purchaser is mot found by that time. Michael Cortesis of Cobourg operates two jewellery stores in Cobourg and two in Peterborough and the fifth has been the store in Port Hope. It has been stated that the three maîl stores have been increasing in sales while those in the downtawn area have been slow in recovefing.
