selfserve The Lord helps those who help themselves But don expect too much assistance from Gulf Shell Sunoco BP or Texaco the next time you selfserve gasoline station As far as we re concerned planning board three month moratorium on whether or not self serves should be allowed in Halton Hills is not long enough A permanent ban on them would suit us better The self serve is the epitome of today thankless merchandising methods You pay your money and you get your merchandise And for what A supposed saving of one or two cents Even that we find is not totally true as the varying gasoline prices across Hills should point out You can buy gas get your checked and even enjoy that rare luxury of having your windshield cleaned at a service station here Georgetown and still nay less for the gasoline than you wool at a self serve in Brampton Who will the self serve gas bar benefit No one else but the big oil company head office Local operators aren t normally allowed to get in on this type of money making venture They can sweat and strain at a regular service station with Its many facets of operations for a minimum of profit but when it comes to opening an easy sell system at a gas bar well that when the head office decides to get into the business Who will suffer If too many more stations go to the way of the self serve Who else The public Obtaining proper service for an automobile is getting more and more difficult with every passing week Try to find a licensed on a Sunday afternoon Good mechanics are few and far between There the gas companies are pushing the friendly glad tohelp service station operator on television commercials while all the time they re looking through their lists of stations trying to figure out which one should become big automated gaB pumps If the public demands that self serve stations be allowed in Halton Hills and for what reason we cannot see it should be on a strictly con trolled basis one station per oil company Then they should also be required to provide service facilities Self serves have gone beyond the point of providing a convenient ser vice for the public They re now merely a big cash register Queens Park Commentary PCs ignored inflation On the home front queen spark bureau of the herald Shahs are being launched and frequently at the premier for leaving the responsibility to administer wage controls with Ottawa School teachers and labor generally and today from their actions I guess we class teachers as labor are grousing that Davis has quite intentionally got himself off the hook by leaving wage settlements In the lap of the federal government Indications are that it like what Ontario has done either but it may be stuck BETTER RESULT If one wants to view the Davis position from com cynical outlook you can that his decision was entirely political For it certainly Is politically comforting to have Ottawa laying down the rules and getting Into the t win fights over wage settlements with teachers civil servants or But still whether political or not I think the people of On tario probably will be better off or should be better off with Ottawa handling the negotiations This applies particularly with the province own em ployees which you would class at least as serai government employees With these groups it is impossible for the government here to achieve a good arm length position In negotiating It can t carry out satisfactory bargaining It can for two reasons One is that it Is a political agency and must be super sensitive and overlycareful about public reaction The second Is that it is dealing with public moneys not profit moneys And It loses the most weighty i bargaining factor of the private sector the argument that there is only so much money available Having a federal agency handle the final negotiations at least gets them cne step removed and should result In more objective and rational conclusions MORE CHATS Then there Is the argument put forward by the govern that a provincial control group would establish another layer of bureaucracy This is scorned by the But ciUzens with more concern for the public purse and with less of a fondness for bureaucracy should be pressed Eatons Simpsons take note If you can cast your mind away back to September you will probably recall that your threshold was once again darkened by the arrival of the Christinas catalogues I one of those people who have trouble deciding upon appropriate gifts in December never mind during the warmth of September sunshine and to have children handing you Christmas lists while you re still uprooting dandelions Is rather traumatic To add insult to injury these catalogues are never delivered when the children ore In school but always on a weekend thus any sporting chance a mother might have of hiding them until December Why don they send a minimum of three per household That would at least help to cut down on the vicious battles that erupt over who Is going to

Mom plecse plecse I to get in my spcling They really know how to get to you but by December when I am finally ready to place on order thecatalogues are so dogeared and tatty I can t read an order

study being applied to areas that used to be laughed at or debunked by science such as the subjects now being studied in parap sychology we may find that astrology Is not to be completely pushed aside cither Within the mumboJumbo of the hoaxers and charlatans who abuse- any serious con of the ancient art by modern scientists lies a certain clement of truth that is presently being overlooked The main reason that science has not given any serious consideration to astrology Is that there appears to be no concrete laws governing the casting of a horoscope For science astrology has far too many variables to be an absolute science The interesting thing about astrology is the ability to predict with a high degree of accuracy how a certain Individual will react to a given set of circumstances
