Meanwhile, those who knew her are waiting curiously for the publication of a GWTW sequel, something Mit- chell herself had opposed. ATLANTA (AP) — A tourist would have a hard time finding Margaret Mitchell’s roots 40 years after the author of ‘Gone With the Wind" died in her beloved Atlanta Frankly, she would have liked it that way Mitchell, known for her love of privacy, wanted her childhood home destroyed so fio one could turn it into a shrine her hometown still has few physical reminders of its most-famous writer The same passion for privacy was evident in August 1949,-when Mitchell died after being struck by a speeding car on Peachtree Street Her funeral on Aug. 18 was open to 350 relatives and friends who received printed invitations. It was a nine minute service followed by a brief graveside ceremony, and the family declined flowers except for a blanket of blossoms that covered the top of her casket The author’s brother, Stephens Mit chell, ‘wanted to make sure the think was held in good taste, not of circus,” said his son, now lives in Michigan. But Atlantans, shocked by the death of the woman they knew affectionately as Peggy, would not be denied the chance to pay their last respects Her wishes were followed, and some sort Gene, who Crowds stood outside the funeral home, waiting with reporters in the heat to hear the loud- speakers, Others stood heads bowed as the cortege wound its way to Oakland Cemetery, where Mitchell was buried beside her parents ina grave marked with a simple marble head. service on with stone There had been crowds, too, at Grady Hospital, where Mitchell lay in a coma for five days after the Aug. 11 accident. Curiosity seekers and fans descended on the hospital, and family friends volunteered to help answer the hundreds of telephone calls seeking news of her condition. Nancy Wooten, a retired nutse who worked at Grady during Mitchell’s final days, recalled that the windows in her room were kept tightly closed for privacy despite the August heat and the lack of air conditioning Staff had to go outside to an old icehouse and bring buckets of.ice in to help cool the room, she said When Mitchell died on Aug. 16, at the age of 48, there were messages of condolence from around the world ‘The city was certainly struck by it,” recalls Celestine Sibley, a friend of the author who kept vigil at the hospital as a reporter for The Atlanta Constitution. “People felt a tremen- dous sense of personal loss Public sentiment was strong against Hugh Dorsey Gravitt, the 29-year-old off-duty taxi driver who was driving the car that struck Mitchell.

The committee, headed by Tory Don Blenkarn, got its first taste of how far-reaching and complicated the new tax would be after hearing from more than a half-dozen Finance Department officials. I can assure members of the com. mittee you are about to go through the looking glass with me into the world of Lewis Carroll,"’ said Michael Sabia, the department's sales tax director Exploring details of the sales tax was akin to Alice’s trip through Won derland, Sabia warned as he tried to explain why Canadians could pay tax on a muffin ina restaurant but buy the same muffin tax-free in a grocery store **My staff and I have spent endless hours debating the merits of muffins,’ he chuckled. Finance officials told the committee that grocery prices, exempted under the proposed tax, should drop when the sales tax is implemented, said Sabia GOVERNMENT TORN But he admitted the government is torn over how to charge the tax on food sold at restaurants while making sure groceries are still exempt **We do not claim to have any magic in drawing these lines."” Another issue the sales tax hasn't settled to some MPs’ satisfaction is how the federal government will collect a tax on rooming-house rents, generally paid by people with low in comes w sales Residential rents would be exempt from the new sales tax, but the tax would be collected on hotel bills in: cluding rooming houses. That could hurt low-income Canadians already desperate for a place to live, said Liberal MP David Berger New sales-tax credits should cushion the proposed system's impact on low income Canadians, Sabia said, but he agreed rooming-house rents is an area “we're going to‘have to look at."” While the committee took its first detailed look at the proposed sales tax, Liberal Leader John’ Turner said in Iqaluit, N.W.T., the federal gover nment is making a ghastly error by im plementing a tax that will shipwreck the economy Filling in as the party’s finance critic after Roy MacLaren quit that post wo weeks ago, Turner said he will crusade against the sales tax and’ predicted Prime Minister Brian Mulroney will be painfully sensitive o opposition again stit TOLL-FREE TAX LINE FLOODED WITH CALLS NANAIMO, B.C, (CP) A toll-free line set up by the federal Finance Department to supply in. formation about the goods and services tax has been flooded by calls from people angered by the new tax. Established three days ago, the line gives Canadians information about how they will be affected by the new tax, which comes into ef fect Jan. 1, 1991, said department spokesman Ben Ward. But Canadians have been using the line to give operators an earful about the tax, which will add nine per cent to the cost of most goods and services. “People don’t like it, that’s for sure,"’ said Ward. **It’s been really busy “We've been going full bore; we've received 3,500 calls in the fir st three days.”” The department has 20 operators staffing the line 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EDT Some people, after venting their anger, do ask for information, he said “We anticipated the chewing out we would receive,”’ said Ward “Nobody appreciates any new tax measures. “Quite a few people are asking ~Y specific questions about the T (goods and services tax). For example: a lot of people want to know whether or not their rents are going to be taxed."” The answer to that, said Ward, is no. The toll-free number is 1-800. 267-6620. Dodging deficit fight to be tougher with levy CP News Analysis By CLYDEGRAHAM OTTAWA (CP) — Finance Minister Michael Wilson's proposed nine-per-cent sales tax would make it a lot tougher for taxpayers to dodge the draft in the war against the federal deficit Wilson has said repeatedly he wants everyone to join in the fight against the $30.5-billion federal deficit — whether they want to or not ANALYSIS “To stick to our plan to get Canada’s debt under control, we must have a reliable sales-tax system,” Wilson told reporters when he released technical details of the tax last week He has already estimated the new tax would generate $24 billion in revenue for Ottawa when it takes effect in 1991, $5 billion of which will be returned to low-and middle-income Canadians in the form of tax credits. Seme critics of the tax, such as small business and the Consumers’ Association of Canada, are worried Wilson will raise the rate above nine per cent to get more revenue But he may not haye to The new tax may be so effective in squeezing out tax money, billions more could fall into Ottawa's hands. That's because a lot of business in Canada is never reported — the nudge- nudge, wink-wink, underground economy. And the new tax should flush a lot of that business to the sur face COULD MAKE MORE If the experience in about 50 other countries means anything, the kind of consumption tax Wilson plans will cast an extremely wide net with a narrow mesh In fact, when New Zealand in- troduced a similar sales tax scheme, it produced about $4 billion in revenue — much more than the $2.5 billion originally expected Don Blenkarn, chairman of the Commons finance committee, has said he believes the new tax will leave Wilson pleasantly surprised “1 anticipate the system will generate a lot more revenue than will be anticipated,” Blenkarn said in an interview. ‘*I always do believe there is an extra dollar or two that will be picked up when we bring in people who presently don’t declare their sales.”” It’s no wonder Wilson wants to replace the existing 65-year-old mnaufacturers’ sales tax that will make the government about $17 billion this year and an estimated $18.5 billion by 1991 Even though the current tax, applied at the factory floor, supplies the government with about a fifth of its tax reverie every year, it’s become riddled with loopholes and exemptions — the bane of any treasury “The current tax will become an in ¢reasingly unstable source of revenu: highly vulnerable to tax avoidance Says Wilson. Manufacturers can minimize the tax bite on their products by separating the marketing and distribution end of their business from the manufacturing arm Or they can try to get their product classified as a good that’s exempt from the tax At the committeg hearing, Blenkarn suggested the ninfper-cent tax rate could be too steep “The great complaint of Canadians is that you're gouging them too much,"’ he told the finance officials PULLINEXTRA The new tax would collect $24 billion in 1991, more than the $18.5 billion that would be collected under the existing manufacturers’ sales tax. Finance Minister Michael Wilson has said he will use the extra money to pay for tax rebates, credits, personal income-tax cuts and other benefits. But Blenkarn said the government wouldn't have to redistribute under the new tax if it was charged at a lower rate And a lower rate would make the ncome INTERNATIONAL K-9 CENTRE ofters DOG OBEDIENCE ciosses CLASSES OFFERED: Puppy, beginner, odvonced INSTRUCTOR: Christine Cross : Thurs., Sept, 7 10 Thurs., Oct, 12 WME: 7 p.m LOCATION: Aver OR INFORMATION CALL CHRIS AT 21 EVENINGS OR LEAVE A MESSAGE.
