J s there anywhere left to enjoy? - t )ron■ ) XX t'vlxix I uni s. V\ <-du vsdn> , M*|)li*n)bcr 28, 1988-3 Unfortunately summer ; is now history, and the chill in the evening air tells me that fall is rapidly approaching. approaching. Another sure sign is the demise of the Orono Fair. Believe it or not I was supposed to be part of the parade, at the suggestion of my buddy Don Evans (free cider, no less!!) and he still won a prize despite my absence. I was also invited invited to a wedding the same day, when my very good neighbours Bill and Mary Bunting were launching their youngest daughter Brenda, onto the sea of matrimony. I believe they finally landed in the Bahama's? (Thank Heavens they didn't go to Jamaica!!!) However, I unfortunately missed both these events by the simply method of breaking a tooth. That fact by itself would not have deterred deterred me (despite looking like Terry Thomas!!) But infection set in, my face swelled up, and the pain was a little too much. After "Gobbling" handfuls of pills, and livjng.on soup for five days, I am now thankfully back to my usual obnoxious self. But to regress a little, our visitors have all gone back home to the far corners of the world, namely England and the South Pacific, but their presence here made it a very enjoyable summer for us. If you've ever had visitors from overseas, (or anywhere else for that matter) have you noticed how quiet and lonely the house seems when they've gone? It's almost like a dream. You suddenly suddenly realize too late, all the things you were going to say and do, But somehow they never materialised, and then it's too late. Ah well, there's (hopefully) always another year to make the same mistakes all over again? As I mentioned earlier, fall is almost upon us, to be followed all to rapidly rapidly by winter, which the almanac suggests may include lots of snow. (So what else is new!!!) This starts my mind considering a vacation. But where? Unlike a lot of people, I won't even consider Florida, for I like the islands. But with hurricane "Gilbert" devastating those I was considering (and possibly more storms to come!) I'm beginning to wonder if there will be anywhere left to enjoy? However, I remain optimistic!! Somewhere the beaches will still be golden; the ocean warm, and the rum 100Vo over proof. On this happy happy thought, I remain, as usual. Just George Tory tax increases hurting - Moffatt Four years of Tory tax increases hurt middle income earners In 1984, Brian Mulroney committed committed his government to reducing Canada' deficit without increasing taxes. The Progressive Conservative campaign handbook stated on page 97: "We can reduce the deficit without icreasing taxes or reducing the level of social services..." The facts over the last four years show the opposite. XVe have seen the following tax increases: - sales tax extended to candies, soft drinks, health good, dental instruments, instruments, generated $460 million - gasoline excise tax increased by over 20 cents per gallon (remember Joe Clark's government was defeated on a 17 cent gas tax) - increases in air transport taxes, progressively from May 1986 - generated $55 million - progressive increases on alcohol and tobacco generated $375 million - sales tax of 10 per cent on long distance phone calls and cable T.V. services generate $945 million - eliminated deductions for Registered Home Ownership Savings Savings generated $105 million - three per cent income surtax - $1.2 billion - changed divident tax system generated $300 million - changed married persons exemption exemption gave $20 million to government There was also an attempt to deindex deindex the old age security system Î hich, after an outcry by seniors, as dropped. > This record of tax increases, in spite of the promises made, has ■ been hardest on middle income earners and businesses. There is no reason to believe that another Mulroney government will give any tax reductions to Canadians Canadians - no matter what Mulroney promises.
