It probably will be followed shortly by settiements of a comparable percentage rise for secondaryschool teachers, and other staff employees who have not already ratified contracts. The doctors are also seeking a 35 to 50 per cent jump in fees. All we can say is that one of these days, there'll be a sad day of reckoning when we'll all be in an awful mess. We are certainly asking for it! HAPPY THANKSGIVING - This is the last big holiday weekend before Christmas, the time to dlean up ail those leaves, takea look at the storm windows and leaky roofs that need caulking and put the garden in shape for the winter that lies ahead! It's also a time to be thankful for our blessings such as they are, and for most there are many compared with almost, any country in the world where they are in worse condition than we are. So, make the most of it and attend the church of your choice where you will be welcomed. REALLY THANKFUL - There's one chap in the area who is really thankful and he's Doug Moffatt who is now an MPP after two unsuccessful tries. To mark the victory, he's holding an NDP victory party in Newcastle Community Hall on Friday, Oct. lOth from 8 p.m. until the wee hours. Everybody is invited. There'll be music, a cash bar and lots of fun with no entryfee., FIRST AIR COURSE - Aif Brown and his, St. John Ambulance people are planning a First Aid course, starting Tuesday, Oct. l4th at 7 p.m. in the Fire-Court building on Church St. In the past these courses have been most popular and informative. Anyone interested should cal Mr. Brown as soon as possible at 623-5034. LOOKS PROMISING - This morning, reports fromn Ottawa indicate some hope that inside postal workers will accept a 38 per cent increase and avoid a strike. This is about the same as an earlier settlement with letter carriers. The situation will be clearer later in the week, but at the moment it doesn't look too bad. The old age pension and family allowance cheques have already been mailed out just in case. CLOSED MONDAY - Most places of business will be closecd on Monday, including The States- man office, so the staff can make the most of the long weekend. Any news copy that can be sent in early will be appreciated. CONGRATULATIONS - A group of local creditors who were qla td to suffer considerable financial loss when Featherlite Leisure Products Ltd. went broke in Cobourg carlier this year, have won their battle. Headed by printer Ed Haynes who was owed about $8,000, they 'put, up a great fight, with threatened court action, to persuade the parent company giant Mitsubishi, with headquarters in Japan, to pay up the accrued debts.
