Hi there: It is nice to see a gasoline price war going on in some areas. When you see these "discounted" prices though, it does make you wonder why the prices can be low at one.tiîne and not at others.. Don't get the idea I am insinuating that the oïl com- panies are perbaps fleecing the publiec... I arn not. 1 just think it would ýbe appropriate to change the name from oïl tankers to clipper ships.

HAVE A GOOD YEAR There was a time when a man could get Up in the morning, eat a hearty breakfast, say good-bye to the wife and kids and drive to work to make some money. But we learn new things every day, and they are mostly bad. Let, us begin at the beginning. Orange juice is bad ... too much sugar, and -the citric acid gnaws at the stomach lining. Eggs contain cholesterol, which clogs the pipe leading to the heart. Bacon is even worse - animal fat. Toast contains starch ... very fattening. Butter has cholesterol again, and marmalade contains enough sugar to rot the teeth out of your head. Coffee can ruin your nerves and contribute to duo- denal ulcers. The tannic acid in tea will convert your stomach into an old seal boot. Since water is full of chlorine-and milk contains traces of strotium 90, your bèst bet is to have a beer for breakfast. But be sure to eat the can!1 Otherwise you contribute to pollution of the environmient - and you need the roughage anyway. You can take the bus or car to work, but not with an easy conscience. Remember air pollution and the cities strangled by freeways? Better walk. But' wear a hat. Sunshine can cause skin cancer. .The rules for breakfast apply te lunch with equal rigidity. Vegetables are sprayed- with pesticides, fish contain mercury and fowl are ful of lead pel- lets. It would be best te settle for a gin and tonic. The quinine in the tonic will proteet you from the malaria microbes hiding in, the gin. When you get home in the evening try some exer- cise, bu t choose carefully. Jogging damages the disca in the spine, walking breaks down the arches and swimming damages the ears. Push-ups strain the heart. Since you can't have any dinner, it's wise to take some scotch whiskey as the sun goes down. Then watch some TV and ifyou have a colour set be sure to ait Up really close. Then the radiation will steri- lize you and whatever your other troubles may be, your family planning problems will be solved for- ever. After reading this I am sure you will have gotten the new year off te a good start .... healthy, healthy, healthy. Oh yes, by the way .. ..have a good day. See you next week ..Roxanne Reveler Brookli Bakery drop off Fridays, hefore noon please CLEANERS SAME DAY SERVICE ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS Frea Press. The llbrary wants you to know ho'w much they appreciate al your efforts ln spreadlng th news to our communlty. The staff of your Brooklin Branch library are looking forward to many exciting and chailenging new programs which are now in motion for the comlng year. Keep tuned to the Brookîin Bylunes for the latest' "flashes", BUSINESS ASSOCIATION The Brooklin Business Association would like to thank the people of our fair town, especially the children who brought'hand-made decorations, for their support over the Christmas holiday period: Once again you mnade "Carols in the Park" a suc- ceas. In spite of the bitterly cold day many of you turned out to help trim the tree in GrassPark. What a delightful sight it was. Mayor Bob Attersley was gracious enough to throw the main switch which of- ficially brought Christmas to our town. Thanks so much to Bob Heron for arranging for Santa to take time out of his busy schedule again this year. The day wouldn't have been the same without a carol sing-song to the music provided on the organ by Barbara Grandy. The' "best window" contest was won this year by "The Emporium" with Brooklin Bakery coming second. Congratulations to Valerie Hundert for an published with the Better Business Bu- reau a list of textile life expectancies.

W., WHITBY 668-2831 Whitby gets $1194)000 for' j ob creation The town of Whitby will receive up to $119,000 in 1983 for short- term job creation pro- grama from the federal and provincial govern- ments. Whitby'a grant is part of $1.4 million being of- fered te Durham Region by -Ottawa and Queen 'a Park ta create jobs for people now receiving so- cial assistance. Under the .Canada- Ontario Employment Program, senior gov- ernments fund 80 per cent of the cost of the programa, and the municipalities cuver the remaining 20 per cent. Mayor Bob Attersley told the Free Press town administrators will be- gin discussions on what jobs wil be created in Whitby immediately. "We're looking at something in the works or recreation depart- ments, " Attersley said. "We'll put a proposal to- gether that will go te, coundil for approval."1 Under the job creation acheme, municipalities must submit proposals for projects by the end of March, 1983. Whitby's share of the job creation program will be about $24,000 if it takes advantage of the full amount available. "We'll find the money somewhere," 'Attersley aaid. Those eligible for em- ployment under the pro- gram will be anyoné who is receiving wel- fare, or who has exhausted his or her employment insurance .benefits. Attersley said the town is eager to take ad- vantage of the program te assiat Whitby resi- dents who are unable te find work. Whitby residents may also find employnxent in projects, created. by the regional municipality, which wiil receive $4S8O00of the $1.4-mil- lion total. 0 4%: iTTNý - - v ab
