Orono Roy C. Forrester. Editor Yearly Subscription $12.0() Phone 9.83-5301 It's a vicious circle Taxation is becoming the news item of the day with every form of government putting on the grab for more and more. Unfortunately, in the end, the grab is on the pocket book of the private citizen whether the tax increase is through the municipality, the province or the federal government. It all filters out to you and I. There are few avenues left that one will not be hit for some form of taxation and with the federal government about to pounce through their Goods and Service Tax there will be no hiding place. The municipalities and school boards beat a path to the province and they complain when the province trys to get some back through a levy on parking lots so they have funds to provide the desires of the municipalities. Its likewise between the provinces and the federal government. The province want their equalization payments but cry foul over the Good and Service Tax as a threat to their domain of taxation. Surely the federal government has to get their money someplace and again its the lowly taxpayer. There is a great trend to-day to lighten-up on income tax and put greater emphasis on spending through the regressive sales taxes. Here again the lowly taxpayer in the middle or lower income bracket pay more than their share compared to high income taxpayers. Surely it has an effect towards the growth of food banks which politicians are glad to push aside: to the volunteers and the generosity of the general/public. Just how long this can continue is yet a mystery. Lot levies for new residential development is mounting day after day as apparent in Newcastle and the Region of Durham. And next may come the school board for a similar lot lqvy and recently talking to Harvey Partner, chairman of the local Hydro Commission lot levies were mentioned as a possibility to assist local municipal hydro systems meet the costs of expansion. It is a vicious circle. ! How soon we forget Going through past issues of the Orono Times this week we find that on December 24th, 1942 local citizens in Orono were to be allowed to light their inside Christmas tree lights which could continue until January 1st. But there was to be no lighting of outside lights. Of course it was during the war days of that era but it was something we are apt to forget even though it is only some 37 years ago. It was a far cry from to-day when the country-side now is lighted for Christmas almost door to door. No wonder Ontario Hydro keeps pushing for more and more hydro generating capacity. The Cold War warrior The Toronto Star in an editorial contends that Prime Minister Brian Mulroney still clings to the armour of |he Cold War warrior. This did become quiet evident on some of his television appearances after his visit to the U.S.S.R. Surely he is sadly out of date in his attitude as were the conservatives with their White paper suggesting a nuclear submarine fleet prior to the last election. Fortunately the money ran out tor such a scheme but the thought behind the whole issue still rests with Mulroney and his government. Surely we can do bettpr than this in reformTor peace.

Kendal News On Saturday. November. 25th, 1989, à dull cold day, the Church in Kendal, was filled to capacity, when relatives and friends of all ages, gathered to pay their last respects, to a lady known to one and all as, Annie. Many may not have known her personally, but through her column column in this paper she touched the lives of all who read her words. Annie Annie kept alive in our memories, the history of" the families who settled the country surrounding Kendal. Through her we were kept up to date on the many who left the area and moved to other parts of the world. Because of her we often felt that we too, knew these people, that first settled settled here. Annie was often called on to tell of families at dedications. Her stories of her teaching caper and her years in the Service, were interesting and amusing, her sense of humour always showed through, , as it did in the little jokes she often put in her column. At church she always had a few words to say to many of the members, prior to the service. A few weeks ago through a misunderstanding, we thought that she was going to move and give up her column, but the next week, Annie Annie let us know that she was not moving from her home, and in her own words she said, "I have just planted my bulbs, and God willing, 1 will be here to see them bloom in the spring." At God's will, Annie will not be here, but as we drive by her home in the spring, we will know that she is here in spirit, as we Newcastle Post Office (Continued from page 1) amendment that Enniskillen be dropped from the request for a meeting and that the Standing Committee of the Consumer and Corporate Affairs and.

He drew their attention attention to where she had always sat, just three rows behind them and how she had always been so interested interested in them and that as she had been a teacher she seemed to be looking at them and seeing them as the future of the Church.
