M. V. A. Despite many ditstrations of early settlers and log cabins. neither the Pilgrim Fathers nor the settlers at Jamestown built log cabins. The first shelters were similar to Indian wigwams - bent sapiings cow with turf, bark or clay. Log cabins were first introduced to America in 1635 by Swedish pioneers who settled in Delaware. Log cabins had been used in Norway and Sweden as far back as Soo A.D. Q. What type of person is referred to as a curmudgeon? C. S. A. A curmudgeon, according to Webster's Third New World Unabridged Dictionary, is a (rusty. ilmempered, and hard - to -get -along -with person, usually elderly. However. in earlier years. the term was used to describe a person who was greedy or miserly. Q. How is "ye" pronounced in "Ye Olde Curiosity Sboppe— W. O. A. Ye in such phrases and titles is simply the Old Stexon or Old English roetbod of waiting the word "the" . Y represents the archaic letter called thorn which today has been replac. ed in English by the letter combination "th". The pronun- ciation of "the" does not change when it is written -ye"'it is still correctly pronounced -thee"or " thuh" exactly like .the. "Ye" is never pronounced " yee" except bumorrous- ly. Q. How did Barbie dols get their name? J. J. A. The Barbie doll was fust introduced on March 1, 1969 by Mattell Inc. She was named after Barbara Handler, the preteen age daughter of Ruth and Elliott Handler, who were the power behind Mattel toys. Although there was con- siderable scoffing by people in the doll business, and some concern from parents about this racy new addition to the toff' scene. Barbiie's popularity with little girls zoomed. By 1964. 5 million Barbies had been sold in California alone. Barbie's popularity has continued over twenty years and today the dolls are something of a tradition. A&its are not getting into the act due to the fact that an original Barbie doll made in 1959 with sleeted feet (for a stand) and loop earrings is now worth about 1725.00 Q. How long does a copyright last? M. T. A. Copyright protection extends to books, magazines and other publications. music and lyrics, plays. choreography, sound recordings and anything that could be called audiovisual. Anything created after January 1, 1978 belongs to the author for the rest of his her life plus 50 years, unless the rights are signed over to the publisher. Creations copyrighted before 1978 are protected for 29 years from the date of first publication with an optional renewal period of 47 years more. Q. I had a fight with my girlfriend and now I find I was in the wrong and will need to eat a little crow. Do you have any recipes- T. F. A. This recipe comes to you courtesy of the University of Tennessee Cooperative Extension Service: 6 crows; 2 cups cooked rice; 2 cans golden mushroom soup - Refrigerate cleaned birds in salt water overnight.

Below are the three main can- didates but there is also Bert Vermeer of the Family Coah- tion Party. Many voters cast their ballot for a particular party and the candidate is not important to them, but the candidate who gets elected is important if you have to seek his or her help in the future. In any event, don't believe the polls - after all how many in the poll actually lived in Durham West? It's up to you - ..but go out and vote and keep democratic government alive. R'ogressim Conservat , CaradlcF- - Lberal Party Candidafti - Norah Storm New Democratic Party Candidate -Jim Wiseman Page 2 THE NEVUS POST Wed. Sept. 9.1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Don't Forget To Vote by Bob Watson It's that time again! Remember the provincial election' It's this Thurs. Sept. 10th. Well, you've all heard about the election, but have you made up your mind about where to cast your ballot' In the last provincial election, some of us voters found it difficult to sort out which of the three "socialist" parties we would vote for. Fortunately, in this election, there has been some movement of the Liberals away from the NDP and the Progressive Conservatives have moved slightly to the right of the Liberals. Perhaps one more election will see the parties back to their appropriate spots in the spectrum - left. centre and right! Everything seems to point to David Peterson and his government returning to power - but there is the chance of a minority government if voters don't see too many of his candidates too well. Many political "experts" have made their predictions, but although. some of us may know the ridings around us. the whole Ontario scene is not so obvious. Locally we were disappointed that candidates did not speak about expanding our highways system quickly - and raw•. Only George Ashe in Durham West seems to see this meed. We suspect that all other candidates have never been in the Neilson Rd. to Brock Rd. mess on Highway 401 at any time. We still believe that the Scarborough Expressway and Spadina Expressway need to be built. And Highway 407 would help but building it over the next 10 years is too long' The Free Trade deal got a kit of dialogue drrinrg this elec- tion campaign. but if the candidates do not know exactly what it is all about. haw can the voters know which way is right' Education is a big issue. We tended to favour those can- didates who talked about more discipline in the schools, more compulsory subjects, especially English, at the end of high school and the remo%al of education taxes from the property owner and putting it all on intwcorne tax. This tax removal would also reduce rents because of the less tax on each property. With Ontario booming economically. especially :Metro Toronto and area. it is difficult to see problems in the future. But this boom may not last too much longer - and then w -hat' We don't need any more socialism to pay for because that coat goes on forever. Happy voting ! ...._. ..............Bob's Note.s._...... ................ ................. ......... Cocaine Up Cannabis Down Significant changes in the use of cocaine and carncnabis (marijuana hashish) have occurred, according to a -W provinceide use survey of drug e by Ontario adults. The new Addiction Research Foundation study ( **Alcohol and Deng Use Among Ontario Adults. 1977-1987") showed that cocaine use increased in 1987, with approximately 6.1% of Ontario adults reporting use of cocaine at last once in their lifetime compared to 3.3% in 1964; and cannabis use among 18 to 29 year olds declined signiflinntly from 26.5% in 1964 to 20.0% in 1987. Repairs for Toronto Power Ontario Hydro will refurbish the roof and exterior of Toronto Power generating statim in September to prevent serious deterioration to the building from weather damage. The 80-yar old heritage building. located upstream from Niagara Falls, has been closed since 1974 when shifting rock damaged a turbine shaft. The need for costly repairs and modifications made the statim uneconomical for elec- trical generation. Ontano Hydro has been working with the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, local Citizens and the Niagara Parks Commission to find an economical use for the building that will ensure its heritage features are protected.

( Photo - Bob Wat- son) Correction Liberal candidate Cindy Nicholas was not happy with our review of the can- didates in Scarborough Centre last week. our report said: "Cindy Nicholas, a lawyer, has very little political ex- perience but is running as a Liberal and if her party sweeps the province she could be swept into office by the tide. Her lack of ex- perience shows in her literature which em- phasizes her record as a long distance swimmer." Cindy says that her ex- perience is not just with swimming and she has other experience which she feels is just as valuable in representing the riding. Living With Stress Scarborough Women's Centre is cosponsoring an evening program with the Scarborough Public Health Department. "Healthier :_iving With Stress" starts -; pt 29 and is facilitated Maureen Poutney. Learning to cope more (. ctively with the stress our lives is a vitally im- r.ant task both in pro- * * : o l ng a higher level of .k t•ll-being for us as in- '.:viduals, and in taking greater responsibility for our overall health status. Identification of stressors, examination of relations between stress and chronic illness, and practise techm- ques of stress management will be learned. The course meets Tuesdays, 7-9 p.m at the centre ( Markham & Lawrence) . Cost of the Course is $9. Children's Aid Society Addresses Politicians There a a major crisis in foster care facing children's aid societies in the province of Ontario. This issue is not Presently being addressed by any of the three major political parties ung for election. The media throughout the province regularly report stories on the shortage of faster homes. In Metro Toronto, children's aid societies are placing pre -scow children, for example. as far as 100 miles away from the city. In Ottawa, the CAS has had to plead with staff to take children home with them because of the lack of fester care resources. It is estimated that between 20 and 30 percent of children coming into care are being inappropriately placed because of shrinking faster care resources. Metro Toronto CAS has lost almost half its faster homes in the Inst seven years. In 1960, it had 714 horses. In 1987 there were only 398 foster homes, a loss of 316 homes, a decrease of 44%. The Catholic Children's Aid Society of Metro Toronto had 461 faster homes in 198D. In 1987 there were only 337 - a decrease of 27%. Ontario figures show a similar alarming decline. 1966 figures indurate a net kiss of 225 hones in the province, and predictions in 1987 show the net loss of foster homes will be more than 350. The decline in the number of foster hones parallels changes in the system, including the introduction of the Child and Family Services Act and new foster care stan- dards. which place inordinate demands, greater expecta- tions and a high level of scrutiny upon foster parents. At the same time, an increasing number of very troubled children are coming into CAS care. This means that children are frequently placed out of town, far from their own family, school and community; disturbed children who require specialized care are being placed in regular foster homes; siblings are being separated; children of various ethnic and racial groups are not being placed within their awn cultural communities and difficult tears are being placed in homes with young children. Clearly this situation cannot continue. Children are being shortchanged. We are taking great risks with the most vuhraabie members of our society. Children should not be forced to pay the price of the underfunding of the faster care system. Everyone working in faster care believes that unless CAS's can offer more financial incentive to those with the potential to offer good foster cam and increased supports to existing foster parents, including child care assistance, regular relief, 2+hour back-up, and increased training, the decline will continue. At the present time, we are not even competitive with private home day care, where an individual can earn more money for a shorter work day with far less responsibility. Consequently, the Ontario Association of Children's Aid Societies, Metro CAS ( the largest child welfare agency), and the Metro Catholic CAS recommend immediate in- creases in foster parent per diem rates to make them com- petitive with fees paid to family hone day care providers who can earn up to $25 per day for 8-10 hours. Another example: If foster parents were to be paid the $34 per diem generally applied by the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services in probation and after care services, it would require a doubling of our current rates. In comparison, children's aid societies pay an average of $13.25 per child in Metro Toronto (less than $5,000 a year), an average of $9.54 in a smaller city like Ottawa (about $3.500 per annum) and as little as $7.74 in a northern centre like Kapuskasuig (less than $3,000 annually). We urge the political leaders of the Province of Ontario to make the children of Ontario a priority in this election. Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

"We are for getting back to basics," he says "In other words, putting some quality and common sense back into the school system. " At the top of the PC list is a greater government role in mandating course con- tent at each grade level. A "core curriculum" would ensure province -wide skills and knowledge of subjects, says Grossman. "It would also ensure greater equity in the educa- tion system," he says. A PC government would also administer each year province -wide tests in at least one of the core sub- jects. The PCs have designated language arts, mathematics, Canadian history and computer Openings For Choirboys Boys ages 5 to 13 with an interest in music are in- vited to audition for the choir of Men and Boys at Grace Church on -the -Hill in mid -town Toronto.

"Students could learn about job training and the working world, the role of police and law enforcement agencies, different faiths and cultures, the operation of local businesses, the im- portance of protecting the environment. " For Grossman reform to the education system also means eliminating the need for portable classrooms by better plan- ning for future schools. "We would change the Ministry of Education policy for approving capital projects to allow school boards to plan new schools at the same time as sub -divisions." says Grossman. "School boards shouldn't have to wait until the students are m por- tables or bused out to another school... Grossman would also allow municipalities to re- quire developers construc- ting new sub-divsions to set aside land for schools, the same way they currently set aside land for parks. None of this can be ac- complished, says Grossman, without proper education funding. Cur- rently to province pro- vides 44.9% of education fading and the mu mcipah- ty -through Property taxes - pays the rest_ Liberal cutbacks in education funding have forced local education taxes w some areas up by 8%-22%, be says. Ontario PCs would restore the province's share of education funding to 60% over the next five years. As well a PC govern- ment would close the $911 -a -student gap between lower -funded elementary and secondary education over the next five years. These actions, says Grossman, will provide much-needed relief for beleaguered property tax- payers who are suffering Under the burden of in- creasing education costs and declining provincial support. "We can take funding back to basics as well. We can develop a new method of determining 'approved costs' to more closely reflect actual costs of delivering educational pro- grams. Education is the key to personal growth, equality of opportunity, personal satisfaction and social stability," says Grossman.

Since officers were never very suc- cessful in preventing enlisted men from marrying, a useful role had to be found for their families. The women were permitted to serve as laundresses, cleaning women, nurses, and sometimes as cooks. In regiments whose com- manding officers were so inclined, children were allowed to attend a school set up by the army. Never- thekss, the concessions granted to the dependants of enlisted men were few, and for the most part, these women and children were merely tolerated. During the summer months at Fort Wellington National Historic Park in Prescott, interpreters dressed in period costumes re-enact nineteenth century garrison fife when women and children lived side by side with enlisted men.

The Privatization Revolution OF MADSEN PWRIE TAW privatization nvohttion eping � has b„�t aborti dramatic and fundamental axial changr then. The following drrV06on of this rrwohttion is drawn from Vwches by Dr. Madsen Pira dririwg a recent Canadian tow. Dr. Pirie is an internationally ►rc+oswited audbority on privatization and a Arodueg ar,rhaect of Pnow Minister Mordant Thatcher's p1wamization PPOVU r~ in eritain. walvatization involves the transfer of functions and assets from government to private individuals and busiaisesse& In Britain, in eight years of privatization, we have seen the larilest transfer of power and property since the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VII 1. The number of ordinary people owning shares in the stock market in Britain has gone up eight times in those eight years. The steady nes umulatioo of the government share of the economy, the so-called 'ratchet' by which left-wing governments expanded the state's side of the economy, has been reversed by creating large interest groups with a vested interest in privatization. left wing governments will not be able to reverse this because the interest groups against them will be too large. These new shareholders have gained an understanding for the first time of the function of capitalism — what investment means, the importance of profit. They understand the wealth creating process. Privatization was necessary in Britain because the burden of the public sector had become too large and the country was headed for ruin at a fast pact. There was a determination to do something about it. Privatization really evolved as an alternative sohm n. If the sovernanot Calle not the public sector they thought they rtoi& be able to ger rid of & Privatization improves the economy because it gives people incentives and it sets loose human enterprise and gives people apporwnities to take part in the wealth mating process. Between 1979 and 1986, the total number of civil servants in Britain was reduced by roughly one quarter. The number of workers who left the public sector as a result of privatization was .early two thirds of a million. Several hundred companies were privatized. It was estimated that by the middle of 1987, ;t would amount to over 40 per cent of state industry. By the end of 1986 it was in excess of 10 billion Canadian anadi n doll and increasing. Privatization will continue until all the industries formerly in the hands of the government are in the hands of the private sector, until all the utilities, the post office. are run in the private sector. Then privatization will matte substantial inroads into the human services: health education, welfare, pensions, insurance, social security. and finally, privatization is already making inroads into the regulatory function of government. When privatization has run its course, the state sector will be left with the core functions of the government: the armed forces, the ,6„ fence function, police and the administration of justice. Even in those areas, however, privatization has already made substantial inroads. When privatization has run its full course, what will be left will be a freer society.

The reader is then asked if he or she sup- ports the teaching of regular subjects such as mathematics and history in languages other than in English or French. We find it distressing that the point should even be raised. There are only two official languages in Canada and there have been only those two since Confederation. They are English and French. Canada has no other of- ficial languages. Our country is apparent- ly embarked on a grand scheme of immigration. Most thinking people regard this with favour. Ours is a huge country that has still to realize its poten- tial and a greater popula- tion is indeed needed to help achieve it. It worked for our neighbours to the South and it can work here but and this is critical, only as it was perceived and ad- ministered in the U.S. Detractors will point out that our good neighbour suffered several decades of lawlessness as varying cultures warred with their predecessors.

But losing your money or getting sick can turn that dream into a nightmare. Luckily, you can take steps to minimize the chances of a vacation mishap. Traveller's cheques and travel insurance are still the two best ways of protec- ting yourself. Some people have made the mistake of assuming that since credit cards are now almost universally ac- cepted, there's no meed for cash on vacation. But have you ever tried to buy a newspaper with a credit nd card? Ahow about those great bargains you can on- ly gel from street vendors? For tips, taxi rides and runs[ restaurants, you still need cash. and the safest way to carry cash on vam- tion, is in the form d traveller's cheques. Trovelkr's dneques are available at most credit unions and financial in- stitutions in the country. Wed.

American Ex- press has over 9,000 refund centres around the world, and Thomas Cook offers cheques in 12 major cur- rencies. Both have a valuable 24-hour replace- ment service if your che- ques are lost or stolen. At financial institutions. the purchase of traveller's cheques usually involves a 1% service fee charge to cover the cost of handling. It's best to buy them either in Canadian currency or in the currency of the country you're visiting. The old practice of buying American funds means you pay a double exchange rate - when you convert your Canadian money to U.S. nd aagain when you con- vert the U.S. cliques into the local currency. Traveller's cheques offer many advantages, d which the 74 -hour replacement service is the major one. Most credit cars will not be replaced for several weeks, and then usually only after you are home. When you buy your cheques, ask for several denominations, so that you can cash larger ones for big purchases or hotel bills, and use smaller ones for impulse gifts and souvenirs. Keep the record of your cheque numbers separate from the cheques thenselves. For example, never keep both in your luggage which can be easi- ly lost. Some seasoned travellers photocopy the numbers before they leave home, then give the extra copy to a friend they can emergencyWWhhenm mac che- ques, never tme an airport or street corner exchange operation if you can help it, or unless you're very knowledgeable about the current rates.

Is this a treatable condi- hard as rock and my lawn tion? is obviously suffering from Dear Hard Case: This sounds like a situation where too many feet are spoiling the lawn. A healthy lawn can withstand occasional heavy use, but a lawn that constantly fights rush hour traffic can suffer from soil compaction. Signs of compaction are foot -worn paths across the lawn or areas where the grass is thin. Compaction prevents the now of air, water and fer- tilizer into the ground, restricting a lawn's healthy growth. So, give your lawn a break — literally. Use a core aerator to pull up plugs of soil. This will allow air, water and nutrients to flow in freely. Then rake the soil plugs and use extra soil to fill in low spots.

What is this and how should 1 treat it? Dear Powder Puff: Unlike the perfumed powders so popular with women, the "powder" on your flowers won't enhance their beauty or their scent. Your plants have a form of "powdery" mildew, noticeable as a dry white growth on the surface of the leaves and on closed buds. One of the best ways to prevent all forms of mildew is to maintain good sanitation all year long. Clear away dropped stems and wilted foliage. Make sure there is plenty of room between plants. Mildew is most likely to spread when flowers are crowded, air circulation is poor, or sunlight can't reach inner leaves and buds. Your first line of defense against mildew is to spread a thin layer of sulphur where you see the mildew. It this doesn't do the trick, cut the plants back to 3 or 4 inches (8-10 cm) above the ground. This will give the plants a chance to recuperate and flower again in late summer. Dear John: I'm worried. The leaves on my tomatoes are starting to curl and turn yellow. Will my harvest be ruined? Dear Rattled Reaper: You can still have plenty of tasty tomatoes to harvest this season! Yellow or curl- ed interior leaves on tomatoes plants are signs of abrupt changes in soil moisture, varying from dry to wet to dry again. To pre- vent this, keep soil evenly moist. Water thoroughly to a depth of 6 inches (15 cm) by applying water to your garden each week when there's not enough rain.

Durham West It has been my honour and privilege to have represented You and the constituency, Dunham West, for the past 10-114 years. I ask for the opportunity to serve you once again. During the campaign we have discussed many of the issues, both local and provincial. These issues included, among others, education, Highway 401, sanitary landfill, free trade, fiscal responsibility, bilingualism, abortion, health care, auto insurance and candidate experience. In rounding out this campaign, I would like to briefly summarize my views on these important issues. EDUCATION AND EDUCATION FUNDING. I support increasing the provincial share of the total education cast to 60%. This would significantly decrease the property tax portion of the education bill. During the 1985 election campaign the Liberals said education was a priority. If elected, they promised to in- crease provincial hording to 60%. In the last Conservative budget the provincial share was 48.3%. Under the liberals, contrary to their promise, it has Dropped to 45%. In June 1985 when the Liberals took over the government, thanks to the N.D.P., there were 231 portables in use at children a unique hands-on experience. The flexible pro- gram will suit any group's heritage or school can icuhun. Phone 683-8401 for more information.

After that date the Public Trustee will proceed to distribute the estate, having regard only to the claims of which he then shall have had notice.

By September 1988, ac- cording to board officials, there will be 490! Is that a com- mittment? I support province wide testing for 50% of secondary school marks. At the moment, there is no valid comparison to show strengths and/or weaknesses within each system. SANITARY LANDFILL We must strive to increase recycling and therefore cut down our need for sanitary landfill. Metro must continue its large expetiditure to curb most odour from the Brock West site. We must continue to monitor the safety offsite. I op- pose future sites in Pickering or Ajax. Dunham Region should plan to solve our own landfill problems and supply our needs. We cannot continue to criticize Metro and yet want to coat-tail their solution. FREE TRADE I am in favour of a responsible bilateral trade agreement with the United States. Canada and Ontario can be a win- ner. With growing prdsctiotuism in the United States the status quo is not available. We will lose jobs without a responsible agreement. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY The Liberals have increased spending by over $8 billion, an increase of 3D%, when compounded inflation has been less than 15% during this -period. BILINGUALASM Both my party and I are opposed to the expensive bikcnism of declaring Ontario officially bilingual. The goal of nine bilingual provinces and one rnilinguaal, Quebec, is tnfair. ABORTION I oppose free standing abortion clinics. So does my party. 2be Morgeotaler Clinic could have, and should have, been closed following the appeal cart overturn of acquittal deci- sion.

We need this widening now, but what was the Liberal committm eat'. Start in 190 and take seven to ten years to construct. We world dart the ribbon some time just before the turn of the century. A realistic target that I will fight for is the widening to Westney Road in Ajax to start in 1988 and be completed within five years.
