2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 16, 1989 (Prono Weekly Simes Second ('lass Mail HeRistrahon Number 1)00368 PuhlishedrKvvrV Wetinesday at the office of Publication' Main Street, Orono Roy t. Forrester. Editor l J Oversold University Education? A Port Hope firm, Davidson Instrument Panel Textron, after searching across Canada for a tool and die maker, widened its search to the international arena to finally hire a worker from Yugoslavia. It is but one case of thousands as to the lack of Canadaians for skilled jobs which are so urgently needed in Canadian : wdüsetâs-- ■. A representative of Davidson states there is a desparate need for industrial electricians, tool and die makers along with machinists. It seems apparent that Community Colleges are not being able to attract students from High school to enter the skill courses and technical programs that are available. It is noted that such enrolment is down province wide and is not peculiar to any one college. In all likely-hood there has been an over-sell on a University University education by parents and society as a whole. The view to have a doctor or lawyer in the family is over-riding even though there are more than enough such professionals in the country. In some respects its a social and cultural problemin that Community Colleges are not being able to attract students to the technical courses which are much more enhanced today through the use of computers and technology. It appears that Guidance Departments at both the Secondary Secondary and Community College level have a job to do and it is one place to have some impact. Possibly, all to often, the positions in these departments are filled with academics/when possibly the need is a base with a business and industrial background. Tool and Die makers in the Port Hope are well into the $40,000 bracket. It has also been stated from the Community College level that there is a great demand for women graduating from ttie technical programs. It is further stated that such could be looking at $50,000 to $60,000 some two years after gradua- t i o n . Wilson's bite Michael Wilson, Federal Finance Minister, has shown his teeth with another bite on the taxpayer when he introduced his Goods and Services Sales tax which is to replace the Manufacturer's Manufacturer's Sales tax in 1991. From his own figures the old tax would have created some $18.3 billion in 1991 but his new tax takes away some $24 billion in 1991 from the pockets of Canadian taxpayers. No matter matter how you work it this is a 33 percent increase. Not unlike the Town of Newcastle although showing a 9.7 percent increase in the mill rate still came up with a budget of over $21 million from the 1988 budget of some $16 million. A 31 percent increase. Make no doubt about it most of this increase like that for Wilson comes from the taxpayers in the Town from reserve accounts and the new garbage rate. Taxes like death are inevitable and its also inevitable the more service we ask for the greater the tax bite. And there is also the point that the politician does like to build empires with taxpayer's taxpayer's funds. There will be a lots of crying and begging over Wilson's package and it will be rather amazing if he can hold true to his first proposal as put forth last week. If he does he &ill be the first to do so. As far as replacing the Manufacturers'tax with the Goods , and Service tax there is no doubt that 'the plan will assist exporters exporters and place them on par with importers who here-to-for held a financial benefit. There is no reason why the present tax should be so selective selective which is not the case with the Goods and Service tax. There are some logical exemptions, food and shelter being two. But there are other exmeptions at the present time that don't seem, fair, bank and broker charges. One may ask why the financial sector having a benefit. ' „ Manufacturers, although they are up in arms, have been working with a federal tax for years. The new tax just makes it more work which they should be able to handle as will even the smallest print shop. There are benefits provided for low income, $275 an adult and $100 a child which for a family of four amounts to $850 in'cash each yçar. This transmits into an expenditure of $8300. which actually will be tax free. If it is enough is another thing. V , There is no doubt this is all going to cost us more but a thirty percent increase is just too much. Kendal News .. . When daylight draweth to a close, And let thy Master lift thy load, And grant repose. Else how cans! thou tomorrow meet, With all tomorrow's work to do The camel at the close of day Kneels down upon the sandy plain To have his burden lifted oil And rest again. My soul, thou too shouldsl to thy knees If thou thy bunie n ah die night Dost carry through? The camel'kneels al break ol day To have his guide replace his load, Then raises up anew to take The desert road- So thou shouldst kneel at morning dawn That God may give the daily care, Assured that He no load too great Will make thee bear. Anna. Temple Whitney The Other Sword by Kenneth Morse We remember Henry VIII because of his six wives, as a rule, but there are better reasons for remembering him than that. He was a bad man, in many ways, but he was a great king. In the beginning of his reign he was staunch Roman Catholic, but part way through his reign he rebelled against the Pope, and decided to support Martin Luther's Reformation - though he never thought much of Luther himself. Up to that time church services services had been in Latin. The priests were amongst the very few educated people in the country and ordinary people could not read the Bible for themselves. William Tyndale had had to escape from the country for translating the Bible into English, and at last, on the Continent, he was caught and killed just because he had been translating it and smuggling English Bibles back into England. His last prayer was: "O Lord, open the King of England's eyes!" A very few years after Tyn- dale's death, Henry VIII turned Protestant, and one of the first orders he gave was that English Bibles, based on Tyndale's translation, should be put in all the parish churches for all men to read. People were so thrilled at this, that the Bibles had to be chained in case people carried them off to their homes. When Henry's son, Edward VI, was crowned in Westminster Abbey he was presented, as our Queen was, with the swords of State and Mercy. The young king looked round. "There is one sword missing," he said. Everyone looked astonished. "It is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God," he said. He meant the Bible. "Without that sword we are nothing: we can do nothing." And so, from that time, at the Coronation the new ruler has always been presented with a Bible. It was presented to our Queen with these words: "Our Gracious. Queen, we present present you with this Book, the most valuable thing this world affords." -- The British Weekly If you are out walking with a friend and meet some one you . know so well but can't remember her name you know you should introduce them but can't. There is a simple solution just ask, "Have you two met?" Then step back and they'll introduce introduce themselves. Not long ago, my husband backed out of an unfamiliar auto park and hit a tree. 1 thought, "1 won't say a word in spite of the way he makes fun of my driving." Then he turned to me and • said, "For heaven's sake, can't you look where I'm going?" Congratulations to William , (Billy) James Greenwood son of Mr. & Mrs. Ralph Greenwood of Kendal who was married on August 5, 1989 in Orono United Church to Cindy Lynn Nelson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Nelson of Orono, by the Rev. Fred Milnes. The reception was held in the Port Darlington Marina. The happy couple are going on a trip to the east, coast. They will make their home'at Kendal. August 7, 1989 coldest day since records began. Highest temperature 16° celcius or 61 ° F. Mr. and Mrs. Doug Cathcart and Elaine joined a conducted bus tour to London, Ontario, travelling to Perth, Huron and Middlesex counties, last week put on by the "Canadian Victoria Victoria Cattle Men." They visited various, "Pick' Your Own" fruit and vegetable enterprises, some smaller, others like the nine acre cucumber farm had become quite large. Families in the towns enjoyed coming and digging digging their own potatoes for example example and returned year after year. This writer notices many changes in farming since the time we' kept five horses. Farmers no longer wear straw hats. The speed with which hay and grain is removed from the fields is phenominal. A farmer and his teenage son can do an immense amount of .work with the aid of large machinery. The ground hogs or Woodchucks haye departed now that great fields Of corn are planted and racoons a!nd black birds are everywhere. On Sunday afternoon August 13th, a Jack and Jill Community Community Shower Tor Lisa Hoy and Paul Pressick was held at Kendal Kendal United Church. A beautiful shower cake made by Mrs. P, Frank and decorated by Mrs. H. Wood was the centre of attraction. It was Cut by Lisa and Paul then it was served with ice cream. Finally the gifts were opened and Lisa and Paul thanked the givers personally inviting them to their new apartment in Oshawa when they.get settled. At the time of writing we need rain, badly. They tell me that the grain is quite light in weight and it is sold by weight. The pasture fields are very dry, farmers Will have to start and feed their cattle.
