To those of you who drive cars be sure to keep your eyes alert for those small kids walking to school or catching the bus. Tuesday September 5th, we held our Back to School Spelling Bee with words pertaining to school days. Others joined inon a sing-song lead by Lynn-Marie (Volunteer). A manicure session was featured on the 6th. The following day was a craft session. Many residents are being kept busy working on projects for the upcoming Xmas season. Over supper hour there was the supper club featuring a delicious BBQ steak dinner. Friday September 8th, the afternoon was spent decorating throughout the home. From 3-4 p.m. there was the new "Cocktail Hour" which several certainly enjoyed. As you were probably well aware we had several residents (17) go away on a 3 day holiday to the Royal Resort in Balsam Lake. Upon arrival we took a grand tour of the facilities and grounds. Before supper everyone Under New Management relaxed in the Regal Lounge and watched the big screen T.V.. After supper we had a bonfire along with a sing-song. On our se- cond day we took over the kitchen and prepared our own breakfast. Throughout the day many en- joyed the sunshine, sitting by the lake, fishing, swimming in the in- door pool & relaxing in the whirlpool or sauna. After eating our delicious supper meal we gathered together in 'Dad's Bar" for an evening of social. A terrific magic show was presented by David Mystic. As our last day ar- rived we had an outside BBQ lunch and then needed to load up for home. Everyone had a wonderful holiday and express their gratitude to the resort, staff and volunteers who made it possi- ble for them to go. For those unable to make the trip they were able to take part in baking, sing-song or word games. Thursday September 14th ac- tivities were back to normal with crafts and woodworking sessions.

Lillian Morgenthau, President of C.A.R.P., a non-profit, non- political national organization for Canadians 50 or over, retired or not, points out that if the "clawback" proposal becomes reality, it will be only the first step in an increasing erosion of the concept of universality. Because the $50,000. threshold will only rise by the amount of inflation that exceeds 3 percent, taxpayers will fall further behind every year. "If the government chooses to increase income taxes on everyone making over $50,000. people might grumble, but it would be fair. By taxing pensions only at that level, Mr. Wilson is discriminating against pen- sioners. Though $50,000. might seem a high income to some, we're afraid that if we allow the © government to hit this tax bracket now, in this way, it will only be a matter of time before the limits become lower and lower, and at- moon Day (22), Cocktail Hour 3-4 p.m. (22), Volunteer Night (25), Monthly Birthday Party - 2 p.m. (26), Freedom Fashions 10:30 - 4 p.m. (27) and Cocktail Hour (29).

C.A.R.P. members are also in- creasingly concerned about the 9 percent tax on goods and ser- vices, which will include train- fares, air travel or taxis, for ex- ample, ticket cancellation fees, admission to plays, movies, ex- hibitions, museums, etc., postage stamps, telephone calls, lawyers' fees, and other services, new residential housing, plus a wide range of manufacturer goods. Seniors are worried, that retired people on fixed incomes will have an even harder time making ends meet. Through C.A.R.P. News and representation to governments, the Canadian Assoication of Retired Persons is adding its voice to the many seniors' and social development bodies which, are fearful of these new tax provisions. Membership in C.A.R.P. is open to everyone, retired or not, at 50 years of age, for $10. per year (including spouse) or $25. for three years. To join, applicants send name, address and telephone number, date of birth, spouse's name, and payment to 27 Queen St. E., Suite 304, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2M6. FALSE PROMISES?
