"The 16 per cent reduction coupled with manufacturers incentives and rebates would enable thousands to buy new cars, and in doing so would save literally billions in the cost of expensive imported oil, due to the much higher gas economy. All this would keep money at home, aiding our foreign exchange and strengthening the value of the dollar. To help the program, imported cars would not be exempt from taxes but would pay 3 per cent more sales tax remember when ...? (From page 5) He begins work at the United Church in Nobel.

Gas guzzlers that do not meet the mileage specifica- tions would pay the usual taxes, plus a $100 surcharge the same as those who now buy air conditioning. An energy surcharge. A new law is now being proposed in the U.S. that -small cars with acceptable high mileage ratings of 35 miles per gallon, will be issued specially coloured plates and allowed to travel on the expressways at speeds of 70 miles per hour. Many of the new four cylinder cars have an over- drive or a fifth gear that allows them to run much more gas efficient at higher speeds. The changeover could save as much as 140,000 barrels of fuel per day! } A Harvard University study shows that 90 per cent of business can increase productivity by 30 per cent without any additional costs. A free enterprise system based on mass production to keep costs down cannot " compete working at less than 70 per cent efficiency with «Japanese imports that are working at close to 100 per cent capacity. Nor can our society tolerate a civil service that "operates at 60 per cent efficiency, backed by a federal government that fails to act on our most pressing problems of inflation, unemployment, high taxes and high interest rates. What we are doing is continuing down the old road of selling off our natural resources at bargain prices with a devalued dollar, like million barrels of oil a day we sold off at one dollar a barrel a few short years ago. We sell our B.C. coal to Japan which has the technology to turn it into gasoline and oil, while we import billions of gallons from OPEC, at about $40 a barrel. We sell off trillions of cubic feet of natural gas to the U.S. instead of converting our plants, homes, autos and generating plants to the clean-burning domestic energy source. Hydro alone is committed to spend $500 million just to clean up acid rain from its coal and oil burning plants, although they claim its only a cause of 2 to 3 per cent of the total acid rain in Ontario. What about the other nearly 98 per cent? At that rate it would cost $250 billion. Catalytic converters on cars using unleaded gas which takes 5 per cent more crude, expel sulphur dioxide - acid rain. The only cars readily available on the Canadian market not using the expensive converters is Chrysler, that use the cheaper regular fuel we have had for decades, at about 9 to- 15 cents a gallon less than the unleaded varieties, with more miles to the gallon..

Ask Mario. He fills out the UI Record of Employment ectly every time an employee parts company. When you're in good company, stay in good form. Mario handles personnel and finance matters for his brother's construction company. And he knows that one of his responsibilities is to fill out a UI Record of Employment form every time an employee has an interruption in earnings. He knows that if he doesn't get it right the first time, he may have to do it again. So Mario took the time to get the booklet "How to Complete the Record of Employ- ment" from his nearby Canada Employment Centre. Leaving in good form. = mmm The Record of Employment is one way we can make sure no one gets short-changed and no one gets overpaid. This saves time and money for everyone involved. Mario found out that the most common mistake is in reporting the Tule Farningeb. Jule sirigs are not necessarily the same as payroll earnings. Because Mario fills out the ROE accurately, ex-empl don' back to him for changes. And neither do we. ¢ ployee hi It's just good business to be in good form. At Unemployment Insurance, we process about 4,000,000 Records of Employment every year. Last year, employer mistakes in filling out the form cost at least $125,000,000 in overpayments. Plus the cost of recovering those overpayments and penalizing or prosecuting. ) We're out to cut down that $125,000,000. And we're going to do it, together.
