council plans one board m- ministering all these public facilities should be eossible to do an even better job with no more or possibly less tax money if costs do rise it will be with the hiring of a recreation director but this is separate question and one which a new board and council will have to discuss with a ymywca well established it would seem that a y director could well to be be the man for the ob if such is created past experience does not indicate that a recreation director would have an easy time of it the postwar georgetown re creation cornission had tough sledding and eventually ground to a hair put part of its failure was the stumblinjj block of being ust one of a multiplicity of or ganizations with no control over any of the facilities which it had to use and one cannot compare a town of 5 000 a we were then with an area which wil soon approach the 20000 population mark we don t think georgetown should rush into any fast action on engaging a recreation director

enactment into law is more than a year away and still not assured the go vernments tax proposals are already affecting the markets prices of lowyield bonds are off market ex perts expect them to slump still further as buyeri look ing for capital gains shy away from them up to now a low coupon bond soiling at 75 could be counted as an attractive in vestment having regard to the capital gain available if held to maturity or on re sale before maturity if in tercst rates fall if the buy er happens to be in a 50 per cent tax bracket however it s a lot less attractive if hls capital gain as well as his interest is to be taxed investor decisions based on anticipation of a new tax law however remain highly speculative the law hasnt yet been passed and the fi nal form of the tax has not been settled in general it would appear that investors who hold low yield bonds now selling at a discount have good reasons for hold ing them to maturity rather than selling for a capital loss the case for buying them even if prices go still lower is questionable the present holder will be almost sure of getting more for his bond at matur ity than he can now chanc es are he will have no capit al gains tax to pay tho non- holder who buys a bond now intending to hold it to mat urity is almost certain to face a tax on his profit finance minister benson may have more trouble sell ing tax reform to his own liberal party than to conser vatives new democrats and the general public the first and by far the strongest ob jections registered against it came from liberals other liberals of course will heavy agenda finds 100 seeking divorce an ontario supreme court judge continues to wade through the 100 or so div orce cases on the list for the current assites being held in the halton county court house the divorce actions both contested and uncontested arc being heard before sup- re e court justice parker without a jury the current sitting bejan tast monday and will run two weeks court officials feel there is little hope all the divorce cases will be heard in that time the number of divorce cases coming before the court has tripled since new and more liberal laws came into effect over a year ago more than 1o0 divorces were heard at the previous supreme court sitting in halton in the summer claim these people dont re present the party but for the time being at least they are determined to make themselves heard benson s first of many speeches on tax reform was delivered before a liberal fund raising dinner in cal gary and by all accounts there were strong objections registered by party faithful who had paid 90 for a din ner and a speech about tax reform the objectors in the audience were a minority but their feeling were strong they didnt like the idea of a capital gains tax and they didnt want any curtailment of present tax exemptions on profits from mining and petroleum one party loyalist is reported to have commented that the ob jections merely reflected the fact that the liberal party in alberta bad become a rich mans party which wss the reason for its low stan ding at election time other objections however came from ross thatcher liberal premier of saskat chewan who has had no trouble winning elections in recent years thatcher was in ottawa last week dining with prime minister trud- eau and fraternizing with old friepds in the house of commons where he once sat as a new democrat and la ter as independent descri bing himself as a practical socialist before joining the liberal party hes against a capital gains tax and ag ainst cutting down on the special tax treatment of mi ning and oil companies thatcher is ready to arg ue the tax changes will be unfair to the west and to saskatchewan m particular ontario and quebec built up i ast mining industries on the basis of special tax treat ment now the west has a chance to build up its indus tries in the same way and is in the process of doing so he says there are some 200 companies actively exploring for minerals in saakatchew an now he fears new tax rules could send them else where some canadian manufact nrers will face competition from foreign countries not now actively selling in the canadian market the gov ernment has agreed to re duce tariffs on goods from under developed countries outside the commonwealth the move is a response to a program lanched by the un ited nations conference on trade and development held in india last year the purp ose is to help the poorer countries build up their ex port business and so gain sufficient foreign exchange to purchase more machlnerv and equipment for internal development the canadian tariff cuts arc moderate and so far seem to have arousod no al arm in canadian industrial circles the intermediate or most favoured nation rate on goods from countries ofli daily classed as underdevel oped will be cut by a third but not lower than the pres ent british preferential rate the rate cut however will not apply

dents theyre all at university now and each was going through some part of the par ticular hell that that involves it btganon friday after noon gerry appeared et my classroom door looking like a rabbit that hat- fust had a run in with a wolf while the class was about to teach chartered bout what they were going to do tonight chewed their gum waved their miniskirted lags qr dropped into a deep slum ber gerry told me his trou bles he is one of the nicest boys and one of the weakest english students it has ever been my fate to encounter hes thenqd who rushed about last june and bought me a bottle of bur gundy and six golf balls after receiving the incredible news that hed passed in english his only problem friday was that he had three esayys to write in six days he was look ing for a life belt i was fresh out of them but gave him some reference books some sympathy and some ideai on how to tackle his essays i don t think he has a hope in heaven of passing his semes ter under those conditions but hes learned something you don t wait until an essay is breathing down your neck be fore you write it that very night another for mer student called her mum who lives across the street from us she wanted to know if the smileys were going to be home for the weekend if so she was coming home because she had to ice mr smiley she has graduated and is attending a college of educa tion purportedly learning to be a high school teacher her problem was a little different she had to teach some poetry this week as part of that 20th century form of the spanish inquisition known as practice teaching this involves facing a class of strange students with an eagle eyed professional teacher watching from the back of the room harrowing is the world so i spent saturday after man going over the poems with her and getting her all muddled up but she left with s-ptleof- notes and rhe feeling that she could survive the or deal i sunday afternoon i met two more former students under different circumstances i couldnt help them with their work imyas in a funeral home and tfiefftnother was dead tragically after a brief illness i kissed the girls and huggeej them there wasnt anything else to do or say sunday night one of them liz closest friend of our daughter since grade 7 came around and spent twnhours talking with my wife and ma not weeping just talking in her sensible sweet 1ft year old way and last of all there was another former student my own kid kim staggering around in that horrible chao of first year university beh telephone stock took another good shot in the arm when her mother called her sunday night she had just discovered that shed been missing two biology lectures a week all fall cause they werent on hi timetable and maybe this was the reason she wasnt doing so i ell tn biology and she has an exam in it this week and she knows shell fail and shed like nothing better than to quit the whole silly business and get a job as a waitress and thats the way
