It’s wrong for Alberta. | think it’s going to be an in teresting discussion with the first ministers." Ministers said they all agree the new tax will increase inflation, interest rates and the cost of civil servants’ salaries ‘and social programs as well as slow economic growth and increase unem ployment. Ontario Treasurer Robert Nixon said his Liberal government will be forced to raise taxes, cut spending or increase borrowing to cover what the tax will cost the province He said increased pay-outs on teachers’ indexed pensions alone will cost Ontario an additional $300 million and lottery revenue will be slashed by $60 million. Asked what effect the provinces’ arguments will’have on Wilson, Nixon said with a grin: *'They are rational arguments and Mr. Wilsonisa rational man; If you put those together he may very well turn white, draw back and say *I guess I was wrong.’ He said he couldn't predict the effect of the opposition and admitted the provinces are powerless to force Ot tawa to back down Before the meeting, a number of ministers suggested their provinces are willing to return to: the negotiating LOCAL ARTIST The work of Grand forks artist Colette Nilsen will be exhibited at the NEC from Oct. 26 to Nov. 26.

Ottawa should reduce spending more than it raises taxes, he told a Commons finance committee hearinginto Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s proposed nine-per-cent tax on goods and services. McKerracher had another caution: Canadians might see less advertising because of the levy, and this could hurt the economy if con sumers spend less money “Advertisers will use the nine. per-cent tax as an excuse not to in crease their advertising budget.” The advertising industry generally supports the plan to replace the existing’ 13.5-per-cent federal sales tax on most manufac tured products with a goods and services tax, the institute said But, it said, Wilson should cut spending, eliminate proposed exemptions and ‘do everything possible’ to lower the proposed nine-per-cent rate AD INCOMES HIT Most advertising firms believe the tax “could have a much more negative effect on the economy than has been federal forecast, and TAX COULD HURT AD INDUSTRY , phasing in the new tax at a five perhaps a devastating effect on ad vertising agency incomes and profit.”” Pressed by opposition MPs on whether federal expenditure cuts should include money for gover nment advertising, McKerracher said it is up to Wilson to decide how the government tightens its belt Wilson should also consider Per-cent rate and then gradually in creasing it, cushioning the blow for service industries that don't yet pay federal sales tax, McKerracher said The federal government would collect its new sales tax on adver tising, theoretically increasing the cost of running ads by nine per cent, he said Companies would get a rebate from the federal government for tax paid on advertising once the consumer pays the final tax on a product or service under Wilson's proposal. “In the end pay the entire tax,"* said He said the tax would have a psychological effect on companies already loath to increase adver- tising budgets, adding it could cost as many as $00 jobs in the $9 billion Canadian ad industry the consumer will McKerracher Manitoba Finance Minister Clayton Maniness said Manitoba would be open toa federal-proviricial agreement after the “basic flaws’? in Ottawa's proposal are removed Last spring, Wilson cut ofgalks o joint federal-provineial sales~ tax, saying the provinces were dragging their-feet.-Since-then-the- provinces have been among his harshest critics BLAME UNJUST Allan Maher, New ‘Brunswick's Liberal finance minister, said the provinces will be-blamed unjustly by voters for the complexitiés of separate federal and provincial Systems, so it’s in the provinces interest tocome up with one regime. sales tax Ottawa has said the tax will cause a one-time blip in inflation of 2% per centage points.

When adental trauma occurs as the result of an accident, a little knowledge may prevent permanent damage to your child's teeth and mouth. Johnny falls on the school steps and bangs a front tooth, which later turns dark. The discoloration is an indication that the pulp, or soft inner tissue, of the tooth has been injured. The damaged pulp represents a possible source of infection that should be assessed and monitored by a dentist. Similarly, if the tooth is loosened in an accident, immediate attention is also required. The dentist may recommend attaching a splint to the tooth to prevent its loss. What if your child has a tooth knocked out by accident? If it is a permanent tooth, there is a good chance it can be successfully replanted if you act quickly. A clean tooth should be placed back in the tooth socket - if it is not too painful and the child is old enough to hold it in place - otherwise, deposit it in a container of milk. In either case, do not clean or handle the tooth Toots, and take the child and tooth to the dentist i ~ Thi i attention within 30 minutes for best results; the prognosis, if treatment is delayed beyond 2 hours, is not good. If your child knocks a “baby” tooth out, take him or her to the dentist as soon as possible for examination, but don't expect the tooth to be put back. Bring the tooth with you so the dentist can see wi. whole tooth came out or whether it broke inside the gums.

Gently clean any dirt or debris from the injured area with warm water. Apply cold compresses Or ice to the face over the injured tooth to keep swelling down, and take the child i to the dentist for A crown or cap may be required if the damage is severe, but minor restorations may be made by “bonding” plastic material to the tooth. Nothing short of locking children in their room will keep them completely safe from oral injury. However, by teaching them to play safely on the schoolyard, while skateboarding, bicycling or diving into the swimming pool, you can help protect them. Discourage children from eating hard items such as popcorn kernels, ice or nutshells. Make sure seat belts, sports mouthguards, and approved infant carseats are used. And if, despite your good advice, your child sustains oral injury, know what to do to give him or her the best. chance for permanent recovery.
