have built tip in the carving Unless I get it out my chair won look really good GP DEAR There no magic an just hard work and a stiff brush A stiff toothbrush and a paste type paint remover will probably be the easiest tools but persistence and el bow grease are definitely required Also make sure you protect eyes skin and surrounding area doing this because the remover may spatter It sounds

waving from I Wilson says this will mean a drop in prices of many goods He specifically mentioned a drop in car prices of about as an ex ample Competition and the work of the marketplace will ensure this haptens he claims DISCONTENT POSSIBLE But what if sellers decide to skim off all or some of those savings There is potential here for consumer discontent even though Ottawa promises to provide buyers with information on what savings can be expected and to investigate complaints Another element of potential controversy centres on the so- called offsets While Wilson can reduce the middleincome tax rate at the start of 1991 the indexation of family allowances and pensions cannot be arranged in advance That means the inflation fighting portion of family allowances will be delayed until early Pen sioners will fare somewhat better as their payments are indexed every three months but there is still a delay There are other pesky problems One is the heat Wilson will take on his
