THE WEEKEND OUTLOOK Friday March IS 1991 See a penny save a penny By MARION HOG AN See a penny pick it up and all the day you 11 have good luck Indeed when I was a child fin ding a penny was good luck and very unusual What that cent could buy black balls for 1 cent bubble gum all day suckers licorice pipes and many more goodies How we valued them For cents a nickle we could buy an Ice cream cone Even after I became an adult a cent was valuable in that it could buy time usually 12 minutes on the parking metre When sales tax was first applied the cent was used to help cover the additional cost of an article No one ever left a cent lying in the dirt when I was young because it was of value Sometimes you needed more than sl cent to buy what you wanted but food costs were so low that a few cents could buy something to fill a need My mother would send us to the corner store to buy meat potatoes butter and bread with little more than a dollar or 100 cents The problem was that we had very few dollars and sometimes very few cents Over the years the buying value of the dollar has diminish ed and the value of the cent has all but disappeared Nowadays I seldom go for a walk without fin ding a cent lying in the grit of the sidewalk or road and yes I ad mit that I pick it up One reason that I do is because deeply in grained in my mind is the value of the cent of my childhood Another reason is that I like to prove that I can still see that pen ny that I am still able to bend down to pick it up If you see a penny pick it up and think of the value to the child of years gone by and to the people who had to make every cent count The value of the penny has decreased considerably over the years but remember it is still of some value it is still one one Seniors fight discrimination The Canadian Association of Retired Persons responding to the recent Supreme Court ruling on Mandatory Retirement has called for changing attitudes toward the mature worker We fee strongly stated Lillian Morgenthau President of the member national organization for Canadians over 50 that six months before an emplojees 65th birthday options should be considered that would be suitable to both parties We realize that some unions favour retirement as tion for workers and we believe such protection should still be built into the system However with the increasing graying of the population business can no longer to put productive workers out to pasture on an arbitrary date As the Supreme Court minority report says such age discrimination mainly hurts the unionized half of the workforce particularly women who are least likely to have and indexed pensions The success of two recent Job Fairs sponsored by C A R lustrates the changes going on in this country At our most recent Job Fair last October more than 8 job seekers were able to visit booths where employers were seeking mature workers for full time part time and flexible time jobs Because in difficult economic times such
