They trade with mainlanders for alpaca, wool and other items they don’t produce themselves. The men of the villages weave yardage on treddle ~looms, while the women weave brightly colored fabric for jackets and other garments on ground looms. These skills passed down through the generatjens — involve a division of labSr that, an- thropologists propose, maintains the ties within the family, the NEC says. Both within the family and bet- ween families, cloth of variqus kinds is exchanged in Tacquile within a dynamic network of human relation- ships. The exhibit includes examples of many articles of traditional clothing: blouses, ponchos, belts, shirts, caps, hats and so on. It also includes several traditional looms and woven baskets.

But the margin was tiny. NBC had a 13.2 ratings average in prime time and CBS a 13.1. ABC began 1991 on a gloomy note with an 11°6 rating for the week ending Jan. 6. The week’s top-rated show with a 24.4 average was NBC’s Cheers. CBS's Sunday telecast of the New Orleans Saints-Chicago Bears playoff game had a higher rating, a 26.9 for the 21 minutes it overlapped into Prime time.

And if Canada goes to war in the Persian Gulf, the economy will get much worse, added Liberal MP Sheila Copps. “If we go to war, the recession that we've already felt deeply across this country is going to be felt even more deeply, and Canadians are already bleeding economically,’’ Copps said at a news conference. The comments: from opposition MPs came after Statistics Canada reported that an indicator of what's ahead for the economy posted its biggest decline in October since it started falling last February. “*I don’t pretend that we can wave a magic wand, but this government has been sitting back doing ab- solutely nothing while this country has stumbled into a very deep recession that is likely to last for a long time,”’ Nystrom said. The composite leading indicator, measuring 10 signs ranging from stock prices to furniture sales, fell 0.6 per cent in October following declines of 0.5 per cent in September and 0.3 per cent in August, Statistics Canada said. “*Basically what the indicator is telling us is that we can expect at least three to six more months of economic downturn for Canada,” said Patti Croft, economist at in- vestment dealer Burns Fry. She believes the recession probably deepened during the last three mon- ths of 1990 and will probably be just as bad during January, February and March. “The fourth quarter could be the nastiest one for Canada, and the GST confusion: in the first quarter will probably make that at least as bad,”’ said Croft. The deteriorating economy in the United States and more weakness in the Canadian manufacturing sector contributed to the accelerating Business forced to pay OTTAWA (CP) — Consumers who skip out of paying the GST don’t have to worry about running afoul of the taxman, a spokesman for Revenue Minister Otto Jelinek said. Peter Wallace said it’s up to shopkeepers, taxi drivers and restaurateurs to collect the seven per cent levy and it’s businesses who will be left holding the bag if customers refuse to pay. “It’s a matter between the businessman or person and the client or customer,”’ Wallace said. eae said businesses still have to fin the seven per cent tax LOSE OVER 1800 CENTRES WORLDWIDE. nutri/system * Minimum 30 Ib. program to .

In Ottawa, some of those disputes have ended up at police stations, but police say they can’t lay any charges. Wallace said ‘Revenue Canada has no legal power to force consumers to pay the tax, but it does have plenty of clout to make a business remit to 20 lbs. Ottawa seven per cent on all the goods and services it sells. ‘‘It is my understanding that the enforcement in terms of penalties and so forth is related to the business because the business can be held liable for the tax, the collection of it and the remittance."’ But two of Canada’s leading tax lawyers specializing in sales taxes say Ottawa technically has the power — including hefty fines — to force a consumer to cough up the GST. Tax lawyer Tom Akin of McCar- thy Tetrault in Toronto said Ottawa may have made a policy decision not to prosecute consumers but it has the legal right to do so.
