A MESSAGE FROM YOUR OAKVILLE TRANSIT DEPARTMENT M In the absence of Director Williams‘ Task Force and the perâ€" manent Cost Improvement Program which we have championed for two years, the 38 proposals represent a good starting point for debate over this year‘s budget. Director Williams claimed Monday that Administration had looked at 33 of the items. Good for them, but where is the restraint being exercised in these items and which of the sugâ€" Dear Sir: At Monday‘s â€" Re: March 1st Finance Committee Meeting â€" Halton Board of Education Trustee John Scheel proposed 38 (39, if "other" is counted) expenditure areas to be examined for possible cutbacks in the 1993 budget. Without getting into the argument of whether each one is accurately costed, defensible, and warranted, we would support Trustee Scheel‘s general thrust â€" some items are clearly valid, some will provoke debate, as they should. Good starting point for debate OUR TELEPHONE NUMBERS HAVE CHANGED! Little wonder airlines are losing their shirts When I booked the trip I explained that my wallet had been stolen and, although I had applied for another birth certificate and that although those wonderful people at Registrar General‘s Department in Thunder Bay " COMMENT I was told at the checkâ€"in counter I was not going anywhere until I proâ€" duced more "paperwork".

Airlines advise you to arrive two hours before your flight. I say if you‘re really smart, you won‘t show up at all. That was my first mistake, showâ€" ing up for Flight #832 from Toronto to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic on Dec. 30, 1992.
