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

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.

Ajax set to tackle
basement apartments
The Town of Ajax has decided to take
matters into its own hands on the
contentious issue of basement apartments.
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

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.

Wildwood Ford in Pickering and its general manager Bill McMaster are fiercely
loyal to Durham Region and its people who have made i1 a proven winner in new car
,ale_ -s and serf ice.
Loyalty ruiis through a number of areas important to Wildwood Ford, namely
customer service and satisfaction, community involvement and never-ending
attention to finding next, icays to be the best dealership in Durham Region.
Wrldwood Ford has beers in business at its Kingston Rd. location for seven yexam.
.Nr. McMaster has been at the dealership since 1946, bringing more than 20 years of
automotive industry experience to Wildwood Ford.
Wildwood Ford sells a complete line of Ford and Mercury products which have
been tried and tnie over the years for their reliability affordability, durability and
safety. The dealership has its modern showroom stocked with the latest arrivals of the
1993 model year, including the Ford Escort, the Ford Probe and a new innovation in
vans, for Ford l Wager, a smaller version of the popular Aerostar van.
7be dealership also boasts a friendly and knowledgeable service and sales
department. McMaster points out the service department will go that extra mile to
make sure things are right with the customer. 7bey'll even go as far as providing a
free pick-up and drop-off service at your home when having your vehicle serviced.
And, if at that point the customer doesn't feel right, Mr. McMaster extends a
personal invitation for customers to sit down with him and discuss any aspect of
W ildruood Ford'.s service.
The sales staff can provide customer with a new way to put them in the driver's
eat of a ne•re t-ehicle. a Nile alit, yrtnpig customers total pens e of mind.
Wildwood Ford customers will be given the opportunity to lease or rent a car for
two years, totally maintenance free. All maintenance fees will be covered by the
dealership. Even if the oil has to be changed, the dealership will be the one
responsible for this. All the customer is responsible for is the gas and the low monthly
payment. And, after the twoYears are up, the customer may exchange the car for a
brand-new vehicle.
Giving great value to customers on new car purchases is also a prime
consideration at Wildwood Ford. Mr. McMaster says the dealership will meet or beat
any Ford or Mercuryprice.
Mr McMaster proudly states '99 per cerzt' of the dealerships 50 employees litpe irz
Durham Relgion, and doesn't promote itself in the Scarborough and Toronto markek;
A big role Wildwood Ford has proudly undertaken is its commitment to
community and sporting groups. You need look no jierther than the numerous
plaques which hang in Mr. McMaster's office from groups grateful for the sponsorship
the dealership has provided.
Everything from soccer, baseball, swimming to gymnastics have received support
from Wildwood Ford over the years. Mr. McMasterpoinis out the dealership especially
likes to help children under 11 years of age, who, Mr. McMaster says have the greatest
needs.
Wildwood Ford is located at 1167 Kingston Rd., just west of Liverpool Road, in
Pickering.

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. For more information can 428-

Tavern in Ajax.
This British -style pub offers
the best in fine food and
entertainment, yet won't put a
huge hole in your cheque book.
A popular spot for the past 17
years, The Royal Scot is under
new management and hosting
an entirely different menu. But
regulars need not worry — the
tavern's famous roast beef is
still a plentiful item.
The Royal Scot is a hot spot
for sports lovers. A five-foot
television delivers first-rate
sporting action at 19 -inch
screen quality.
"We are basically a sports
bar," said manager Dean
Hodgkinson. "The television
really draws in a crowd. We
also have a satellite (dish) which
is good, too."
From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., The

with its memorable food days.
Fridav is Crabbv Day. You can
get an entire pound of crab for
just $9.99. Other specials
include steak and kidney pie
and "bangers" (sausage) and

Seafood has also become an
important part of the tavern
menu.
"We have had the same menu
for the past 10 years,"
Hodgkinson said. "It was
always 95 per cent roast beef.
But all that has changed now."
You can tempt your palate on
a variety of fresh fish including
grouper and flounder.
If that's not your style, The
Royal Scot has a wonderful
