Sal} a Ld win Published by Notes and A RANDOM THOUGHT We conducted a simple Gallop Poll over the week-end about automobiles. The. fact, or figures to be more accu- rate proved interesting. According to our poll about 14% of cars on the road today are of a 1949 vintage; about 38.9% are post-war models; 3% were on the road prior to 1930; and there is a good percentage of the cars at least that have had their fifteenth birthday. Translating the figures into another form we found SAMUEL FARMER ESTATE Comments Ino revision in the state system of 'taxing the public who buy cars. . The wages in the United States are higher than in Canada; the cost of living index is lower than in this country and yet in spite of these two very significant facts the government still exacts this toll . . . we think the time has come when a commission should investigate and report to par- liament on the advisability of making adjustments in this fundamental part of our economy. iy PAN TI LISA) FL ST ER a CUS Seal ia id EEL Chior fd! wi A ARE ry Beg 3 ¥ * SES PORT PERR PORT PERRY WEDDING HAS OSHAWA INTEREST ; I At the Church of the Ascension, Port Perry, recently, Bruce Harlan Shaw, son of Mr, and Mrs. Sydney 'Shaw, of Oshawa, took as his bride |Jean Mary Cook, daughter of Mr, and Mrs, Clarence Cook, of Port-Perry..

The average car on the road is a nine year old car. This little experiment of ours set thinking about cars and presently we got to talking about the difference be- tween the price of cars in Canada and the United States. Because of the government taxes, cars in Canada cost more. The increased cost is from $600 to over $1000 on the more expen- sive makes. There was a time when many good arguments might be used to substantiate the difference. There is little: daught that the automotive industry in its earliest stages needed the protection afforded by the heavy taxes the Government imposed. Al- though the situation in the industry is completely different from what it used to be and although Canadian economy has become inextricably tied up with the American economy, there has been puts together--a house and a car . . but the cost of cars in this country is, because of the tax so high that the average person is hard put to finance a family car. If automobiles are es- sential to our econmy, it seers quite unreasonable that the government should increase the difficulty of the average Canadian who wants to buy a car. In point of fact, much that is lopsided in our economy may stem' from the fact that in view of our in- come we are required to pay an undue proportion of it to secure transporta- tion. Such a tax seems designed to aid certain agencies who have surplus money to help and lend at a rather higher rate of interest than the aver- age earner can afford to pay. It is possible that those who would defend the tax may be able to put up a good case. We would be interested to know what it is. Are You Interested? LAKE SCUGOG IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.
