L 1992 Canada Savings Bonds and the "no " vote he new Canada Savings Bonds pay 6 pei cent for the next » year. Is this a good rate? Is it good enough to justify large purchases? Are there other alternatives that are better? What do we do with the bonds we already own? These are the questions that Canadians are struggling with now that we know the new rate, especially in light of all the controversy surrounding the constitution, the dollar and the struggling economy. First, the terms. The Bank of Canada has announced a 6 per cent rate. The bonds last for twelve years but the rate lasts for only twelve months. That means that come November 1, 1993, the rate will be adjusted upward or downward. The betting right now is that it will be the latter. The twelve year term means very little, except that we can count on receiving some sort of return for the next dozen years. Actually it works against the bond holder as it lulls many of them into thinking that they receive the same rate of return for the full twelve years. As a result, they often hang onto their bonds when they could earn more elsewhere. In fact, after the twelve years are up, many continue to hold the bonds even though they no longer pay any interest at all. You should always asses:+ each fall whether it s advisable to Kane, onto your bonds or cash them in and do something else with the money. Each year things change. Each year investment and savings strategies do likewise. Especially this year. So, are this year's CSBs a good deal? Yes, without question. At 6 per cent they pay about 1-1/2 per cent higher than we should have expected. It was a rare opportunity to reverse the investment time clock a few months. This doesn't mean everybody should buy them. But it surely means that some of us should and that some of our money should be in them. However, there are better, higher yielding places for some of our money. Here's why they look good. Thanks to the recession interest rates have fallen dramatically in the last two years. However, weakness in the Canadian dollar, partially because of referendum concerns, forced the Bank of Canada to push interest rates two per cent higher this month. While most analysts believe this is a short term move it came in the middle of the CSB campaign. Ottawa had no choice but to pay a higher than expected rate on this years CSB issue. On the negative side though, we should calculate how much we get to keep after subtracting taxes and inflation. With the typical Canadian in the 42 per cent marginal tax rate we only get to keep slightly less than 3-1/2 per cent after tax. After subtracting inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (1.3 per cent) we really only earn 2.2 per cent on our money. If that's enough then CSBs are a good deal. Unfortunately, though, most analysts think real cost inflation is somewhere between 2-1/2 per cent and 4-1/2 per cent. As a result, we might only earn between 1 per cent and -1 per cent. At those levels it seems logical to look for other places to invest our long term money As a short term savings vehicle though, CSBs look quite attractive. If interest rates are going to fall you can assure yourself of at least 6 per cent for the next ..:-........., LLO Ig Cam of MOA6j year vet be able to cash your bonds in at any time. The ability to cash in is valuable. However, if you are comfortable locking your money away for the full year, you can earn a slightly higher rate of return with a trust company or bank term deposit or GIC. In addition, mortgages, mortgage backed securities and stripped coupon bonds can offer a higher rate of return but not necessarily with the same cashability. I think savers should consider CSBs. They offer a far better rate of return than a savings account. However, I fear that longer term investors are going to miss a bonanza if they take the easy way out. I am convinced interest rates are going to fall regardless of the outcome of the referendum. A yes vote means greater declines than a no vote. Either way, though, the world economy is so frail that rates have to fall. We will follow. If you buy CSBs you must resign yourself to the fact that you must hold them for at least three months, until the end of January 1993, before you can collect any interest. Cash them before then and you forego all your interest. I believe interest rates will fall well before then. As a result, 1 believe we can earn a much better return by investing in interest sensitive investments. If you buy this fall's CSBs you will be reluctant to cash them in before the end of January and as a result will miss the higher gains possible elsewhere. It's going to be a hard decision for many, CSBs versus savings accounts, no question. CSBs rather than other investments, I don't think so. If you want to cash in on the expected interest rate declines you have to look elsewhere. Or, you can always have some of each. P0VrER LINES ARE UP ON PODS BECAUSE THEY ARE DANGEROUS.

During a committee -of -the -whole meeting on Oct. 26, councillors directed staff to prepare an Official Plan amendment that addresses the town's concerns regarding basement apartments. After a review of proposed provincial legislation that would permit accessory apartments and garden houses, staff suggested they should prepare an amendment that would implement the land use planning section of the town's housing policy statement. Such a move would serve to strengthen the town's position on inspection of homes where accessory dwellings may exist. Most councillors have expressed the need for stronger right -of -entry legislation from the The Weekend Bay News, Oct. 30, 31, Nov 1, 1992 A3 =Durham 1 province. However, it appears unlikely to be delivered. During the Monday night meeting, staff confirmed that the province is unlikely to incorporate the most significant concerns of the town into its legislation. However, staff fully expect the province to legally challenge any Official Plan amendment regarding right of entry. But councillors heard a precedent may have been set in Guelph recently when the province lost a challenge against a similar municipal move in that community. Councillors agreed that the town should take a more assertive approach towards the issue. 'I think it's very appropriate this (political) body move ahead," Ward 3 Councillor Steve Parish said. 'I think we should be proactive and not reactive.' School trustees freeze pay Durham Region public school board trusters don't want any more money. That was the feeling expressed at an Oct. 26 board meeting, when trustees announced a decision to freeze salaries for the 1992-93 budget. 'We are neo -tight trustees," said Brock trustee George McLaughlin. At present, trustees earn a stipend of 113,800 per year. Although it's a significantly lower salary than many surrounding -area school boards, trustees felt now was not the time to give themselves a raise. 1 'We had to freeze our salaries for the time being,' said Oshawa trustee Audrey MacLean. "We must recognise that in order to survive and keep the system going, we have to keep costs down." With trustees' salaries remaining low, it's estimated to cost Durham taxpayers only 23 cents per student for the services of a trustee. "People are getting more for their money with the effort and time spent by the people around this table," said Ajax trustee Duncan Read. Roland Michener school feeds the hungry Roland Michener Public School in Ajax held a food drive from Oct. S to 9 raising a total of 625 non-perishable food items. During the week before Thanksgiving, the school joined in the spirit of the holiday. A drive of their own was organized by teacher Jean Penn's Grade 6 class. 'With all the hunger, anger and pain in today's world, it's nice to see the children trying to make a difference," Penn told The Bay ,iews. Classes participated after being made aware of the event by a letter sent home with the children and various posters made bvi the students. After all food was collected, a community parent delivered it to the Ajax Salvation Army depot. The school hopes to continue the drive annually. �J Announcing a New Telephone Service That Allows Ajax and Pickering Residents' To Call Anywhere on this Map - All For One Low Monthly Fee. etroWI DE CEI2NA7rIONAL COMMUNICATIONS •AdditonW Ca" « for Aox PWmina nidi I [� aft" endlowm AZT.

Pickering Aja Ajax East Indian cuisine comes to Pickering To the delight of many, Fast Indian food has finally come to Ajax and Pickering. Singh and Rekha Raina officially opened Royal India Restaurant at 1660 Kingston Rd. near Brock Road in Pickering earlier this week The pair bring a wealth of professional experience and culinary flair for delicious East Indian cooking to their new eatery. Singh arrived in Canada from Bombay, India some 20 years ago. He studied hotel management in his native land and has worked for a lengthy list of major hotels and restaurants since coming to Canada. "After years of working for other people I decided, 'why not work for myself,"' Singh said, explaining why he decided to strike out on his own. The Rains arrival in Pickering comes none too soon. It's a move that definitely fills a culinary void in the community. While a horde of Toronto residents can attest to the unique and great tasting qualities of East Indian food, Ajax and Pickering folks have been denied such pleasure. "I really think people want a change," Singh said. "East Indian food is growing in popularity. In Britain, for example, East Indian food is probably the second or third most popular foreign food." Patrons at Royal India Restaurant can enjoy a menu that includes more than 60 items. Customers can individually tailor their taste by ordering mild, medium or hot spiced food. "We cook according to their wishes," Singh said. A daily lunch buffet from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for only $6.95 features a choice of 14 delicious items inckding two different Indian breads, rice, salads, three different meats and four vegetable choices. Singh describes his restaurant as a cosy, family -style eatery featuring Indian -style decor and music. Take-out, wedding and banquet services are also available.
