Society objects To • Takeover by David Cox There were about 40 people in the Council gallery Monday night to support the Pickering Historical Society in a representation to Council. The Society was objecting to a resolution passed last week which would allow the Town to give control of the museum to the federal government. "I object to this motion - I don't believe tot Council has the right to turn the museum ower to anyone. The museum belongs to the people of Pickering" Historical Society spokesman, Mr. Brown, told Councillors. Very little of the cost of the museum was paid by taxes. Brown said. The miseum was started in IM by local people who gathered together artifacts and put them on display in the Brougham schoolhouse, and was original ly cancel ved of as a place where visitors could see history in action. Trades and crafts could be shown so that young people would have the chance to learn and pass on this part of their heritage. The Executive Committee resolution stated that Pickering would be prepared to give the muse um over to the federal government, and that the Town would pay back part of the $528.000 settlement paid by Ottawa when the museum was expropriated. Councillor Don Kitchen said that the resolution was passed because the Town is in a situation which, "has been forced on us by the federal and provincial governments - the Town is merely acting in self- defence". The Historical Society would be prepared to take over the museum, Brown said but the Society could not afford to pay the $700 per month rent which has been asked for by the federal authorities for the present site.

"Why didn't someone just pick up the phone and call me?" he asked Council, "I've been working for the past three years on the museum problem, and I was shocked when I received a copy of this resolution." The Executive Committee passed the resolution in an attempt to farce Ottawa to pay the Town $100,000 which is outstanding of the $528,000 museum set- tlement. In a representation to Council, Cafik said that the only obstacle that prevents Ottawa paying the money is that the Town has not yet provided the Government wi th a dear deed to the Brougham property, as here could be doubt in the ;uestion of ownership. Because of the details of -he case though. Cafik said .hat the Government is prepared to waive this indemnity, but would require a document from the Town of Pickering stating that the records have been searched -back for ten years. He said that 'h►s would be the first time n this corntry that the Federal Government has .,een prepared to waive an : ndemnity clause in a land purchase. So far Pickering as not yet provided this iocument_ The confusion runs deeper Hough. as there is still the :x•oblem of whether the Town should have to pay rent an the property. The government has asked for about $700 per month rent, but Pickering Councillors believe that a verbal agreement, setting the rent ata nominal $1 per year, is in effect. The real value of the Brougham property is about $63,000 and Cafik said that he thought the generous settlement which he negotiated on behalf of the municipality, should be adequate to help cover this rent, if necessary. Cafik asked Council to come up with a new resolution concerning the museum, and he said he hoped for a satisfactory outcome. "There is goodwill on all sides - the problem that has arisen is the result of confusion", he said. If necessary, Cafik said that he would recommend to the federal Government that the expropriation be waived, so that the museum could stay where it is, "to preserve the museum as the important thing that it is". AUSTIN TAXI & DRIVING SCHOOL By Appointment Only 282.3567 Page 2 THE NEWS POST Thurs. 'Mar. 2:3.1978 Opinion a page for express;on for you and D.. Right On This may come as a shock to many high school teachers but this newspaper is in complete agreement with OSSTF leader, Margaret Wilson, on the subject of apprenticeship. Mrs. Wilson is reported to be urging that the teachers' federation establish links with business and labour to find out what sort of needs they have for students who want to preceed to apprenticeship work. The OSSTF head made the astounding observation that one of the reasons for high unemployment is that Canada does not have enough skilled tradesmen. We concur 100%. We further agree with her when she notes that we have spent loo years importingour skilled tradesmen, and that as a country we've been irresponsible. It is nice to find an educational leader who understands what makes the marketplace tick. For too long, our educational system has virtually insulated itself from the practical economic part of life. An intelligent view would see that the closer education, business and labour work together, the more efficient our use of resources would be to achieve an even flow of young people into the work force. Work, of course, has in recent years become that four letter word which everyone must avoid. But it is that same word which makes the Japanese and German economies robust and healthy, whereas our economy is in a mess. This whole subject is immense and could take hours to discuss, but 1 et us just take one phase and examine it. Journa lien ! For many years most newspaper men and women were imparted from the United Kingdom and the rest rose up through the ranks from copy boy. Then it was noted that not one school to train "journalists" existed accept at the University of Western Ontario. Today it s different. Every Community College and places like Carleton University are grinding out graduates by the thousands - for the hundreds of jobs available. Somehow no one in the government education ministry wants to restrict entry into this course, even though there are few jobs available. Tfie other miserable factor is that after three years of training. the graduate is still, in many cases, not ready for a reporter's job. We have felt for marry years that this par- ticular training would be more effective as an ap- prenticeship on the job rather than in some classroom utilizing expensive buildings and services. The media location has already been paid for and would be much more economical to use. This situation probably applies to many professions and trades. Perhaps Margaret Wilson as president of the OSSTF can make a tremendous contribution to the economical integration of trainees to the work force. We wish her lots of success Sees A Plot Dear Sir: Regarding your editorial "Who is playing Politics-, I have sent you the enclosed material just to let you know that your opinion an this matter may not be as common as you would like to believe. I don't at all doubt your sincerity and concern and I agree with you on the desperate need for measures to revive our sick economv but I also think that there is much more to Lias spying business than we realize. For one thing. although most of our current problems are the result of poor government, poor economic conditions, an apathetic citizenry, etc.. I can't shake the idea that the Soviets are somehow taking advantage of our difficulties in order to advance their own goals. The never-ending problems with the post office, for in- stance, have got to be the result of more than simply bad Labor-management relations. Why doesn't our country have such common sense things as an industrial policy, an economic development policy, a research policy and a scientific policy? Why is there such an incredibly widening gap of understanding between French and English Canadians? Where did this trend of extreme leniency towards criminals and other deviants come from? Why is our court system so overburdened and inefficient? Why were immigrants of a radically different culture allowed to suddenly flood parts of the country instead of being gradually introduced so that both sides could Property get used to each other? How has the free -handout mentality become so imbedded into our culture? How is it possible that we are doing and thinking so many self- destructive things all at the same time? A lot is admittedly our own fault or is caused by things beyond our control but I also believe that somehow someone. nePICKIRING S Published every Thursday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111.

Of this group of drinking driver, .34% had done this on 10 or more occasions in the past year. Among the under -aged drinkers (aged 16 to 17), 47% had ,been drinking drivers on at least one occasion since receiving their driver's licence. The Foundation's teenage drinking -driving study by Dr. Pamela Ennis, Scientist, was based on a 40 -question survey involving 1.800 students in grades 11 and 1:3. In total, it examined the relationships between drinking -driving and accident involvement in terms of attitudes, knowledge, sex, age, grade level, grade average and regions of Ontario. The survey was done in conjunction with the Foun- dation's bi-annual survey ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE AMONG ONTARIO STUDENTS IN 1977 which included students in Grades 5,7,9,11 and 13, from 104 Ontario schools throughout the province. Results of the regular portion of the bi-annual survey were compiled and released earlier. In general, the survey reveals a high frequency of drinking -driving and accident involvement among grade I l and 13 students. Since receiving their licences, 23.4% of the students had been in one or more car accidents while driving - a total of 279 collisions. Of these collisions, 22.9% were alcohol- related. Over 10% of all students, regardless of whether or not they were licenced. stated that they had been a passenger in an alcohol-related accident. Over 19% of the licenced drivers reported being convicted of one or more driving offences other than parking infrac- tions (e.g speeding, failing to stop, improper turns, careless or impaired driving) during the time they had been driving. In total, 834 of the LOW students surveyed were licenced drivers. Of these students, 63.6% were males and 36.4% were females. Half of the students had held their licence for less than one year. REASONS FOR DRIVING Student driving, especially for male students, centres mainly around social reasons such as dates, movies or drives with friends. Of the total 1,800 students surveyed, only 9.5% used the car for transportation to school, 13% to go to work and 25.2% to run errands or for shopping. Most driving was done on Friday. Saturday and Sunday. HIGHER GRADES EQUATE BETTER DRIVING HABITS Survey findings reveal a significant inverse relationship between grade average and driving habits. Students with higher marks were significantly less likely to be involved in an alcohol-related accident, not only as a driver but also as a passenger. They also had higher knowledge scores and a more responsible attitude toward drinking and driving. KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DRINKING AND DRIVING Student knowledge about drinking and driving facts was generally quite good, especially among male students. For example, 75.3% of the students were able to indentify .09% as the maximum allowable blood alcohol level under On- tario law, and 77.6% knew that only time could sober up a person. ATTITUDES TOWARD DRINKING AND DRIVING Attitudes toward drinking and driving, based on a 20 -item section of the survey, indicated that most students do not have a high regard for drinking and driving, or those who do this. They also expressed a moderately strong view that there should be safeguards to protect the general public from drinking -drivers. In general female students displayed a more responsible attitude than male students. However, over 66% of the students also agreed that some people can drink and drive safely while 55.4% mistakenly felt that it was all right to drive after a few drinks but not after several drinks. ALCOHOL-RELATED PROBLEMS AFFECT STUDENT DRIVING Of the 1,647 students who reported that they drank alcohol, 16.9% indicated that they had one or more alcohol- related problems. This group was also found to be the most likely to have a driver's licence, to drive more miles for Pleasure or social reasons, to drive after drinking, and to be convicted of more driving offences. In addition, these young problem drinkers were more likely to have been involved, not only as a passenger but also as a driver, in alcohol-related accidents. In general, they displayed a more irresponsible attitude toward being a drinking driver even though they had a bet- ter knowledge about the passible effects and the legal con- sequences of drinking and driving. Those who drank and drove with the greatest frequency also tended to have poorer driving performance in general as indicated by more accidents and convictions for driving offences. The report suggests that "it may be that the poor driving records of these students are indicative of a more general behavior problem such as disrespect for authority and the law•, lack of control, or anti -social or aggressive tendencies ' is helping to prolong and deepen our difficulties. Maybe I'm wrong, but history tells me that what I suspect is not at all impossible. As you well know it has happened before. Yours truly, Stephen Jalsevac 4010 Lawrence Ave. E.

And the criticism was that PM Trudeau is rot tough Bough against Soviet and other Communist spying.) The Hon. Norman Cafik. Minister of State for Multiculturism, told delegates to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe on March 9th that Canada was unhappy with the results of the conference. Mr. Caftk, who was representing External Affairs Munster Don Jamieson• told the meeting: "It is a source of disappointment to my government that this document does not reflect the vital, substantive concerns of participating states". The concerns raised by Western delegations about human rights violations in Eastern European countries were not incorporated because of the inability to achieve consensus on them. Referring to the Soviet dissidents. Mr. Cafik emphasized: "There is evidence that individuals who have tried to exercise rights that are endorsed in the Final Act are still being harassed. exiled, arrested, tried and imprisoned. This has led the Parliament of Canada to adopt resolutions as a unanimous expression of its deep concern. in respect of what we see as violations of fundamental human tights. We earnestly hope that the attention that we have focussed on these matters will encourage governments to reflect on the negative impact of their practices." The Canadian delegation during the course of the Con- ference had also focussed attention upon the various Helsinki Monitoring Groups in the USSR whose members, like Anotoly Shdharansky and Mykola Rudenko, were arrested. "Repressive actions against such individuals and groups, who in most cases are doing no more than seeking to make the Final Act work for then, come as a cruel disappointment to the hopes entertained by marry thousands and perhaps millions of private citizens in the participating states .. "stated the Canadian delegate. While at the meeting, Mr. Cafik had an informal talk with the special Soviet ambassador to the Belgrade Conference, IOU M. Varonpsov, to express Canada's concerns on the subject of human rights. Mr. Callikand the Soviet diplomat differed on the matter of human rights. The Soviet said they were a matter of ideology and raised fundamental constitutional problems for the Soviet Union. He also said that the West, par- ticularly Canada, had damaged the Belgrade meetings by trying to draw a direct link between human rights and human contact between the nations. Mr. Cafik said the issue transcends national boundaries and dealt specifically with the case of Soviet dissident Anatoly Shchatransky, currently under arrest in the USSR. The Soviet ambassador stated that Shcharansky, a Jew, is being tried as a spy with irrefutable CIA connections, not as a dissident. He said he personally hoped it would be possible for international observers to attend the trial. The Canadian Minister introduced the suggestion of a low - profile mechanism to speed up the handling of family re- unification cases. It was agreed that this might work and that itshouldbe considered further. Bob's Notes LOYALTY Off they go! This week the streets are empty of cars and rush hours are eery events to the regular commuters. Yes, school is outfor 11 consecutive days and even the politicians tend to use this period for a break from the grind. Of course where does everyone seem to go? Southwards to the warmth of better climates. But wait, news reports from the Carolinas say that the sun isn't that warm and maybe the rest of us snow -t rodders are not m issing much! THAT ELECTION Dates for the federal election seem to revolve around June 12, 19 and 26th. Experts believe the PM will not call an election until Claude Ryan is elected new Quebec Liberal leader. That's on April 15th and 60 days from then gets the big day into June. A group of 14 schools within the Scarborough Board of Education is busy preparing to fire the first shot in a battle to slash the board's energy con- sumption by 10 percent in the upcoming school year. Students a nd staf f in the 14 schools in Area 3 in nor- thern Scarborough will join forces in a pilot project to attempt to reduce their use of electricity by 10 percent during the month of April. The lessons learned from this pilot project will be used to lay the foundations for an energy conservation Program in all 146 Scar- borough schools. Meanwhile, an awareness campaign on the need for energy conservation is already under way across the borough. To start the campaign, students in all Scarborough schools have been invited to design energy conservation posters for an exhibition in the Civic Centre from April 10-14. "1 believe the energy 14 Schools To Cut. Electricity problem is the most serious problem we have come up against," said Tom Len- nard, superintendent of the board's plant department, which has been working to achieve energy efficiency for some time. "We are going to have to do a great deal more than we are doing now -- it will be like the start of World War II." While the pilot project's immediate goal is a cut in electricity usage, it will be the dry run for an overall board program that will promote the lifestyle of a conserver society. The Board. which endorsed the program in January, ex- pects to spend $5.5 million on energy this year.

Want Views On Disposal Of Schools Community groups in North York are being given a further opportunity to contribute their views about the decision of the Board of Education to dispose of five surplus school sites. One of the sites -- the Saranac Public School Annex -- has a building on it, but the other four are all undeveloped and range in size from four acres to 6.6 acres. A procedure was recently approved by the Board for disposition of the sites. Basically, the policy offers first right of refusal on purchase of sites to other public school boards, post- secondary educational bodies, and local and senior governments. They also will be offered for sale by public tender and can be sold to private buyers 90 days after first being offered to the public bodies. Letters are being sent to the community groups in the vicinity of the sites for sale inviting them to make their views known at a meeting of the Board's Management Committee on April 3. Late in 1977, several community groups presented briefs to the Board on the proposed disposition of sites. Any groups wishing to speak at the Management Committee meeting must inform the Board's Assistant Secretary in Post Office Closed All Post Offices will be closed and there will be no ktter carrier delivery in the Toronto Metro Postal District on Good Friday.

The Art Guild of Scar- borough has been a growing and enthusiastic group of local artists for the past 16 years. Guild members display at their own spring and fall shows, as well as throughout the year in other shows in and around Metro Toronto. writing by 10 a.m., March 29, in order to be placed on the agenda. The sites are: Saranac Annex, constructed in 1924, with an area of 18,605 square feet on a site of approximately 1.5 acres zoned R5, and located at 3174 Bathurst Street.; Cobblestone Public School site with an area of 6.6 acres zoned R4 and located on Cobblestone Drive.; Cosmic Public School site with an area of 5.7 acres zoned R4 and located on Cosmic Drive.; Riderwood Public School site with an area of 6.2 acres zoned R4 and located on Riderwood Drive.; Wynford Public School site with an area of 4.0 acres zoned RM6 and located on Wynford Heights Crescent. An additional site -- Vocational School Site No. 3 with an area of 6.4 acres zoned R4 and located on Van Horne Avenue - has also been declared surplus. However, disposition procedures under the new policy are pending until the Board can find out from the Borough of North York if the si to is needed for park land. Declining enrolment in the borough and changes in planned developments are the main reasons for deriding to sell the un- developed sites. In the view of the Board's Planning and Plant Department, it is not likely they will ever be needed for future schools. The Board decided to dose the Saranac Annex and move its Media Ser- vices Department to vacant space in the Pleasant /Peckham Public School to reduce operating costs.

The ca. pany's annual practice is to donate ten cents for every pound lost by its members during Heart Month.

They'll Look At Footbridge by Amaraia King Scarborough Works and Transportation committee has approved a motion Proposed by Alderman Joe DeKort that committee members and Board of Education representatives personally inspect the Malvern Jr. - Public School footbridge to determine whether the spacing of the rails poses a danger to chikbvm The decisions, made at the Mar. 16 committee meeting, followed com- ments on the bridge design and the passibility of children slipping between the rails, by the developer - Lebovic Enterprises - Works staff, and a representative of the concerned parents. Joe Lebovic told the committee that the design in question was not only approved by Works and Transportation earlier but has also been used for solo bridges —with no problems". -I'm concerned with the principle of the thing: approving it, then saying you don't Ike it," said Lebovic, He warned that the borough could become liable for any other bridges of the same design if the Malvern footbridge is declared unsafe. "If you want me to fix this bridge then it behooves you to do the same to the others." The only other bridge of the same design in Scar- borough is the one at North Agincourt Junior Public School. Lebovic also told the committee that the way they propose to make the bridge safer -- building railings in between the ones already there -- may possibly create other problems. If the railings are too close together a child could use them as footholds to climb over," he said. Works Commissioner Roger Brown said that stairs position is that the bridge is 'satisfactory" "Our experience with the North Agincourt bridge doesn't seem to have given on any problems. We don't build these things to protect people from every possible danger," Brown pointed out. He said that the Works Department has put temporary fencing around the ra dings already — as was decided at the Mar. 2 meeting — despite the fact that staff feels it's a safe railing". "Toddlers and very small chi ldren should be supervised while crossing the bridge," said Brown. "There are many, many situations which are unsafe for young children." Parents' representative Mrs. R. Redshaw, however, told the com- mittee that their main concern is that the foot- bridge and walkway is the only accessible route to the school. "Parental supervision is not always possible, especially if both parents work," she said. "You can't tell a four- yearoldsto go across the bridge without fooling around because he won't understand." Mrs. Redshaw said that children can slip through the railing to the ravine 30 feet below and could also strangle on the rails. Alderman Joe DeKort said he agreed that the bridge is unsafe, differing from the one at North Agincourt because of the ravine. "If necessary we should change our standards-, we're not liable for old ones," he said. "Maybe our standards are wrong, but whether we've made a mistake or not it's been brought to our at- tention and we should deal with it." Mayor Paul Cosgrove added an amendment to DeKort's motion to inspect the bridge that the com- mittee should obtain a list of outside experts able to give their opinion on the bridge. "If the committee is unable to believe the ad- vice of the experts on our staff we should hire others." he said. "Our own lack of ex- pertise is no substitute-" A second amendment asked that representatives of the Board of Education also attend on the bridge Saturday Sing -along Singer -guitarist Teresa Deswiage will be at Pleasant View Library, 575 Van Horne Ave. at Brian Dr., on Sat.

Another moving ex- perience is the re- enactment of A Nite With Beau Willie Brown by Miss Latanya Richardson. Such is the power of the material and such is the power of her interpretation that I found myself sharing with the audience a dry throat, wet eyes and an almost palpable rage against the brutishness of Beau Willie.

" The hard -rock trio burst, into view under multi-' coloured strobes and started deafening the admiring crowd with the explosive, "Bastille Day" Drawing forth every whining note from his guitar, Alex Lifeson, handsomely crowned with a blonde mane, spun violently about as per- cussionist Neil Peart's sticks blurred across his drums. Geddy Lee, with his throbbing bass, rasped the lines into the mic, his razor-sharp voice echoing a thousand times in the large stadium. Rush was back home and with a vengeance! Flash pods burst as Lifeson jammed the opening blasts of "A Farewell to Kings" and Lee screamed his high- pitched wail at the fans. Crooning the words, Lee commenced to sing "Closer to the Heart", a cut from their last album that is currently burning up the charts. The band then. using an eerie back -screen projection, swung into the science -fiction master- . „Cygnus X-1". Lasers flared and dry ice billowed in a sinister fashion as Rush roared into their futuristic tour -de - force, "2112". Grinding on pedal -steel guitar, Lifeson grinned at Lee, who was buzzing on a Mini -Moog synthesizer. From atop his forbidding mountain of snares and cy mba Is, Peart slammed with all the energy he could muster. The three young men, responsible for the 90 odd decibels bludgeoning the audience, rocketed into "Grande Finale", the menacing conclusion of the half-hour on-slaught of sci- n rock from their "2112" LP. By this time the audience was hysterical! The thunderous applause was music to the ears of the young group that started their career several years earlier in the night spots of Toronto. Rush started out by playing in bars, schools and auditoriums throughout the city. Sur- prisingly, back then, the power -house band's music was not widely ap- preciated, as they only performed their own compositions. But, even then, their fans were starting to realize this wasn't your average group. After recording their semi -successful debut album, the promising trio reached great heights for a Toronto bar band, opening for superb acts like Rod Stewart and Kiss. It was great, but Rush wanted to be better than great! As they opened for more rock superstars, Rush's music progressed and the sale of their fantastic albums improved. Their second disc, "Fly by Night" was soon followed by "Ca rress of Steel", a fine record containing some of their most in- teresting material. "2112" came next, from the unknown voids of the ,galaxy and then, "All the World's a Stage" came of ter , from Massey Hall. Their latest, "A Farewell to Kings" is an excellent masterpiece of the three's limitless talents. "Farewell" is undoubtedly their greatest achievement yet and has already become a classic in rock. But tonight, in the huge stadium, the music was live, and the fans loved it. After five minutes of cheering, the audience finally coaxed Rush back for a ripping encore. "Working Man" was performed, with Lifeson screeching on his double - neck axe and flashy Lee bellowing in a threatening tone. The crowd rose to its feet as the grourp rammed into "Fly by Night. Departing from the flood -lit stage, Lifeson and Lee left Peart for his thundering per- cussion solo. Gongs, temple -b locks, wind- Thurs.

Lee, Lifeson and a fatigued Peart wound through another tune and then bid their audience a goodnight. Screaming hysterically, with the entire stadium trembling, the ecstatic fans pulled their three heroes back once more. Smiling, Lee sung the haunting "Cinderalla Man" as Lifeson emptied every Pet Course ,Offered Parents interested in improving communication with their young children can take advantage of an eight week Parent Ef- fectiveness Training course to begin at North York Central library on Mon.

(Benefit - 100,000 jobs) 3. Innovation in Canadian industry: federal and provincial governments should allow a complete tax write-off to companies that add more jobs in research and develop- ment. (Benefit - 10,000 jobs) 4.

( Benefit - 741,000 man years of work) 5.

Along with this ten point program, Premier Davis also suggested the creation- of a National Council on the Economy, to act as a watchdog on Canada's economic performance and future possibilities. It is suggested that this Council be composed of federal and provincial finance ministers, along with business and labour representatives. The leadership shown by Premier Davis in all of these recommendations reaffirms Ontario's commitment to Confederation.

WEST ROUGE TENNIS CLUB It would be interesting to hear why some old members have not rejoined the Club this year and maybe they could come along to our Spring General Meeting on April 22 at West Range Community Centre and let the Executive hear their reasons. Apparently one of the main bones of contention is that they cannot always get court time and frankly with our court monitoring system I wonder how this came about. The playing hours for teams are clearly noted in the mailings and even on these evenings there are usually a couple of hours for ordinary play. Please do let us hear why you feel You have not had enough court time because maybe something can be thrashed out. For sure it is the same at any of the local clubs.

Mar. 23, 1978 O'Connell Seeks Tax Exemption Smoke detectors and other fire fighting equip- ment should be exempt from the 5% federal sales tax, Scarborough East M.P. Martin O'Connell told the House of Commons Mar. 14. O'Connell appealed earlier to Finance Minister Jean Chretien in a letter written Feb. 7 asking for his consideration of the removal of the federal sales tax. In his speech to the House of Commons, O'Connell said that smoke detectors should be encouraged for every home, and the federal government "should now associate itself with this means of lifesaving and property saving by withdrawing its 5% federal sales tax". O'Connell also pointed out that the housing minister for Ontario has reported that of 64 fires in Ontario Housing Corporation units smoke detectors gave the initial warning in 54 cases: over 80%. Martin O'Connell also mentioned that a Scar- borough resident - Norman Rockall of 84 Martindale Rd - is currently leading a drive to have detector's installed in all Metro homes and across Canada. "Removing the federal sales tax is something the government of Canada can do to match the fact that new federally -assisted housing units must be protected by these devices.** said O'Connell. Mr. O'Connel l said he has also asked Ontario provincial treasurer Darcy Mc Keough to consider removing its 7% provincial sales tax valued at about $2.50 to S3 for an average smoke detector. The M.P. also expires�ed his concern regarding information on the safety of the popular iomi7ation-type detector• saying there is ..an inadequacy" of con- sumer education both at the point of purchase and concerning disposal. "Why are commercial procedures dealing with the use of ionization -type detectors more rigorous than in the case of homes?" said O'Connell. He also raised questions concerning testing done in Canada with the Ionization models under conditions of fine, whether supplier can charge a homeowner for disposal of such detectors, and instructions for sup- pliers on disposal procedures.

Scarborough Works And Transportation Notes SPEED LIMIT A Works Department recommendation to reduce the speed limit to 40 km/h on Torrance Rd. and Eastpark Blvd. between Bellamy Rd. and Daphne Rd. was approved by the committee. The required sign costs come to approximately NAME CHANGE A proposal to change the name of a street in the Malvern Com muni ty from Littles Rd. to Morningside Ave., (a portion north of Finch Ave.) will be ad- vertised in the community before the committee considers approval. Mayor Paul Cosgrove also feels that the name Littles Rd. has some significance in the community and that it should be built back into local collector roads if the name change takes place. THREE-WAY STOP The Committee plans to discuss three-way stop signage at Gooderham Dr. and Murray Glen Dr. at the request of Alderman Norm Kelly at the next meeting of the Works and Tran- sportation committee. STREET NAMES A Planning Board recommendation that the Works and Transportation committee instigate a program for the naming of all private streets and laneways in the borough will be discussed in two weeks a t the next com- mittee meeting. Committer* chairman Alderman Fred Bland has already put in a suggestion that some streets be named after prominent females in the area. METAL CANS The Works Department has recommended that the borough of Scarborough not support a resolution from the Council of the Regional Municipality of Hamilton -Wentworth endorsing the use of non- returnable beverage containers. "The recovery of metal containers from the waste stream is a difficult and costly task," stated part of the staff recommendation. "Unfortunately the market for metal cans, for all the advertising by the industry, is less than en- couraging." In the past, Scarborough has provided and sup- ported the provision of centres where non- returnable containers may be collected for eventual recycling. The committee received the recommendation and the resolution.

The changes we must make to look better and feel more confident are often much more difficult to contemplate than to actually carry out. A real desire to do some- thing better for ourselves is the first step in any change. Whether we decide to go on a diet, color our hair or enrol in night courses, the steps to achieving our goals will seem much easier once we are con- vinced the change we have in mind is really right for us. Sometimts the simplest things we can do to maks our- selves more interesting and attractive are the very things that seem most difficult . especially if we are trying them for the very fust time. For example, a decision to make our hair a more flatter- ing color may be put 4LO for years, only because we are not sure if we can do it easily and also achieve the natural look we want. so we get a bit greyer than we would like and often feel older because of it. Or we stav with our dull, drab natural shade, which make--% us feel Ices attractive and confident than we should.

Mar. 2:3. 1!t;ItTHE NEWS POST FASHION & FOOD Lambs, Eggs And Cheer The "spring Iamb" and "spring egg" are hardly the true symbols of Easter any more. long ago, after a dull and trying winter's diet of salted -preserved meats and brine - cured eggs, Easter represented the first major feast day when the season's fresh new born lambs were slaughtered and the first fresh -laid eggs were cracked. Today, what with scientific progress in transportation methods and breeding systems, you do rat have to press .your local butcher to special order spring lamb nor do you have to endure another brine -cured egg until the hens start laying. Spring Iamb is now abailable all year round, shipped fresh frozen from New Zealand. The eggs although variable in price are always fresh and plentiful in your local dairy case. This is Areatoccasion to combine two of nature's freshest foods, delicate spring lamb and farm -fresh eggs, to make the best of each even better! Don't worry about the price in hadn because these Iamb recipes use themost economical cut of lamb .. the shoulder. Prepare an "Egg Cushioned Shoulder", a boned New Zealand shoulder, stuffed with a delicate omelet stuffing, tied, and roasted until tender. Cut the shoulder into meaty chops and cook "Beignet Batter - Fried Chops", individual shoulder chops, dipped in a light and crunchy better, and deep -fat fried golden brown on the outside and juicy pi nk on the inside. If you are curious about what to do with any bones and trimmings that are left, put your mind and budget as ease. combine the trimmings with vegetables, spices, and water, and simmer slowly to make a "Lamb and Vegetable Stock" suitable for soups. stews, sauces, or casseroles.

Ontario Foods they should be thefiWhy rst ones to look for when you shop... And how you can find thenL Ontario's farmers give us some of the finest quality food products and some of the best food values in the world. That's why Ontario's Ministry of Agriculture and Food has developed this new Foodland Ontario symbol to help you find them. It will help you identify the superb Ontario -grown foods for sale at your store. Their value and quality alone are enough to make them 'best buys' on your shopping list. But there are other good reasons why you should kook for this symbol. Ontario's farmers and their families make up only 5% of Ontario's population. Yet our farm neighbours produce some 200 food commodities worth $3 billion a year. Like the rest of us, our farmers look for a reasonable standard of living for their hard work and often risky investment. In return they offer their Ontario neighbour, a wide variety of high quality farm products at fair prices. We still import more food into Ontario than we expert. Our trade balance would be much better if we consumed more of our own farm products. By doing XO We could ensure a good livelihood for our producers. And we'd have increased activity and employment in our large fixxi processing and retailing industries. We'd also assure the continued best use of our prime farmland. The benefits are for all of us. We all have an investment in the continued good health of our agricultural economy. It's not just sentiment for our family farm heritage — its plain common sense. We should protect and reinforce our investment in Ontario through our shopping choices. Buy the tine products of Foodland Ontario. Look for them wherever you see the Foodland Ontario symbol.

JUST OPPOSITE THE AGINCOURT POST OFFICE. RINK RAT N� REPORT First this week, lets get to Twice Arena Flyers, a club we have not heard from in some time. So far this month the Flyers have won two, lost one and tied one and are still battling for top spot in their division. The lone loss suffered by Twice Arenas was to lowly Wexford by a 3-2 score. Jeff Brubecher and Craig Macaulay were the Flyer marksmen, in this game, with assists going to John Killin, Cameron Veitch, Glenn Murphy and Scott Irwin. Although the Flyers had trouble with bottom place Wexford, when they faced arch rival Cedar Hill, it was a different story with the West Hill team defeating Cedar Hill 5-1. Glen Murphy opened the scoring for the Flyers with assists to Chris Millson and Brian McConnachie. The Flyers second goal went to Jeff Brubacher from Paul Rowell. John Killin fired the third assisted by Craig Macaulay with Lloyd Myers scoring unassisted for the Flyer's fourth goal and finally Glen Murphy wrapped up the night's scoring with help from Brian McCormachie. Most recently Twice Arena Flyers battled Agincourt Canadiens to a 3-3 tie. During this game Michael Labadie scored twice and Brian McConnachie once. Gaining assists on the night's play were Cameron Veitch with two, Chris Millson, Paul Rowett and Chris Ross. Tending goal during all these games, as he has done all season, was Jamie Thwaites. Chris Millson was rushed to hospital by ambulance during the Flyers last game, when after missing a check, went headlong into the boards. We can fortunately report that Chris is OK - no broken bones or concussion - Thanks largely to the protective qualities of the hockey hel me t. Maco Construction - Minor Bantam "A" - Lost their only game of the week 3-2 against Scarborough Sabres. Fred Cosgrove opened the scoring for Maco with an assist from Peter Sproule. The other Maco goal went to Bill Peroff with Peter Sproule and Mark Rowley assisting. The Hockey Shop Hounds blanked hapless Clairlea 6-0 on Monday and while a win over Clairlea is scarcely noteworthy, there were two events of significance during the game; first Scott Kennedy recorded the Hounds first shutout, in league play, this season and secondly Joe Sullivan cracked the hat trick category when he scored three goals on the night's play, becoming the first and only Hound to do so to date. Todd Merredith earned three assists - on Joe's goals - to match the point output. Terry Gilroy. Russell Perkins and Mike Gilroy completed the Hounds scoring with assists going to Al Arbour - with two, Mike Gilroy, Russell Perkins and Steve Webster as well as the aforementioned Todd Merredith who had three. Only two of West Hill's sixteen SHA clubs are in a position to challenge fdr the top spot in their divisions - they are Albert Schneider Cougars - Bantam "A" and Twice Arena Flyers - Atom "AA".

The game served to illustrate the basic strength of this Maco dub, despite their lowly standing in their own di -vision. Maybe they are just now beginning to blend together as a team.

DOUAR SEnSf Job-related move likely tax deductible By Peter KruKk, CA If you are transferred from one town to another in your job, or even if you move because you can't find work in your home town, there is a good chance that your moving expenses will be tax- deductible. The Income Tax Act states that if you change your place of residence because you cease to carry on business or be employed at your first location and commence to carry on business or be employed at the new location, if the two residences are both in General 6naneW advice by members of the Institute of Clsartered Accovatants of Ontario. Canada and if your new residence is at least 25 miles closer to your new place of work than the old, then your moving expenses are deductible against the income you earn at the new place of work. There are several things to remember here. First, your change of residence must come as a direct consequence of a change in working location. And secondly your moving ex- penses can be claimed only against the income you earn after the move. If you are self-employed, you must cease all your business activities at the old location in favor of the new, otherwise you may be deemed to be merely ex- panding your business. The business you start at the new location can be the same kind, or a completely different one. If your move meets all the conditions, the ex- penses you can claim can include travelling costs, including reasonable costs for meals and lodging for yourself and your family, transportation and storage costs for household effects, costs for up to 15 days of temporary board and lodging at either location, costs of cancelling a lease on your old residence, and selling costs cxnnected with the sale of Your old res- idence. These would include advertising, legal or notarial fees, real estate commissions but not mortgage prepayment or discharge fees, or any capital loss incurred from selling your old house. A new definition of the Income Tax Act would also include legal fees and real estate commissions in- curred in purchasing a new house. If You are transferred and your employer pays only part of your eligible ex- penses, you may claim the balance against your income. This is done by including your employer's contribution in your income, then deducting the total expense:. In some cases, you may not have incurred all your eligible moving expenses by the time you file your return. In this situation you should claim those costs you have incurred, then write to your District Taxation Office when all your expenses are known and request an adjustment to your return. Of course, in claiming the expenses of a work- related move you should keep all records and re- ceipts. In most cases you need not enclose your receipts with the standard tax form, but you should keep them in case you are asked for them. M. r.

Durham West OHIP PREMIUMS By far the most controversial item announced in the 1978/79 Provincial Budget on March 7th, was the increase in OHIP premiums by $6.00 per month for a single person and $12 per month for a family subscriber, effective as of May Ist,1978 for August Istcoverage.The new level of premiums means a per day cost of $1.44 for a family and .72t for a single person. This was a difficult decision to make, and one thatwas notfinalized until a great deal of study was held on the alternatives to raising the premiums. In October of 1969, following prolonged dispute with the federal government over their national medicare legislation, the Government of Ontario introduced a universal public medical plan. In April of 1972, this medical plan was amalgamated with the universal hospital in- surance plan established in partnership with the federal government in 1959, to become the Ontario Health In- surance Plan (OHIP). Since that time, this freely accessible health care has led to a greatly increased use of health service facilities. As a result, the cost of providing the services has gone up con- siderably. In 197x71, insurance premiums paid for 50% of the cost of the health service bill. Inst year, premiums only paid 21% of the total bill. With the recently announced increase, it is estimated premiums will cover 28.4% of the total bill, or approximately ane -third of the doctor/hospital portion of the healthbill.Th is amount is in line with recommendations putforward by the Joint Advisory Committee on Methods to Control Health Casts. As an alternative to raising premiums, the Province considered taxing corporations to offset the health deficits. However, such a move would result in Ontario companies having even more difficulty competing and could lead to more unemployment. Also considered was a deterrant fee each time the services were used, but this was rejected because itwouild only serve to penalize low income groups, and would be an administrative nightmare to implement. As well, other jurisdictions using a deterrent fee found that any reduction in the demand for the service caused by such a fee was only temporary. Funds could hove been obtained from Ontario residents indirectly through the personal income tax_ However in reality this would not save you any money, and the Govenanent of Ontario believes that the very best method m1utuautturatism.

Ontario Riding NEW IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS The Federal Government recently announced Regulations which will come into effect with the new Immigration Act on April 10th. The Ad and Regulations tie immigration to Canadian labour market needs through changes in selection criteria and the establishment of a closer westing arrangement with the provinces. Three of the groups that will be especially affected by the changes are refugees, foreign students, and foreigners wishing to work in Canada. I am extremely pleased that the new Regulations expand an the refugee provisions in the Act by establishing a refugee sponsorship programme. Canadian groups and organizations will be able to assist the admission and resettlement of refugees and other persecuted and displaced people. One of the major factors in determining whether or not a refugee will be admitted to Canada is the prospects for succenful settlement of the individual. Under this new programme, sponsoring groups will be able to facilitate the entry and adaptation of such persons by providing im- mediate material assistance such as food, clothing and accommodation,aswell as longer-term moral support in the form of counselling and orientation to Canadian life, and individual care and attention that cannot be given through govermmriment services. The provisions governing students reflect the desire of the provinces to have foreign students meet all the requirements for acceptance at an institution of learning before coming to Canada. Under new provisions in the Regulations, foreign students will not be permitted to change either their course of study or the institution they attend without government authorization. Visitors intending to work temporarily in Canada will be particularly affected by the new Regulations. As of April 10 these people will have to obtain their employment authorizations from a Canadian government office abroad before they will be admitted. At the moment temporary workers from other countries can come to Canada without examination at our offices abroad, obtain entry as tourists, and then apply to change their status once employment has been arranged. As a result there are many visitors in Canada seeking work at a time when employment op- portunities for Canadians are in short supply. I firmly believe that employers should make jobs available to Canadians and permanent residents first, before being allowed to recruit foreign workers through a Canadian Manpower Centre. Requiring that authorizations and visas for foreign workers be issued abroad will result in better functioning of the labour market. I feel thatCanada's new Immigration Act and Regulations will bring our immigration policy and programmes up-to- date withthe realities and attitudes of modern-day Canada. of keeping health costs down is to make everyone very aware of the high cost of providing the services. Health premiums remain the only direct link between the user of healthserviees and the cost of providing such services. OHIP premiums have very little automatic growth, and therefore must be increased by the Government periodically in order to keep a balance between the cost of the service and the use of the service. For example, in 1970 it cost about $54 per day to stay in a hospital. Last year the average eostwas about $144 per day. On the medical side, in 1972 there were 32 million claims filed under the Plan (average of 4claims per person) whereas in 1977 there were some 53 million claims filed (average of 6 claims per person). In order to keep the cost of health services down, the Government is reducing the emphasis on traditional health care institutions such as hospitals, and shifting some of the financial resources to alternative methods of treatment, such as day surgery, out-patient treatment, home care for people with acute illnesses, and extended care in nursing homes; attempting to decentralize the process of health care planning so that more of the work is done in each community by the people who are most aware of the local needs and resources; and finally, has initiated a public education program in preventive care and miiror treat- ment. The Ontario Government remains committed to the provision of high quality health care for all the people of Ontario. The increase in premiums will be borne mosUy by employers through benefit packages, and the Government will at the same time expand its subsidy to OHIP by $15 million in order to reduce the impact of premiums on low income persons. It is estimated that appraoumately 140,000 more people will benefit from this additional subsidy, making a total of 1.8 million Ontarians receiving full premium assistance, and 60,000 receiving partial premium assistance. Fundamental changes are required in the delivery of health services if future costs of health care are to be curbed. We in the Government believe that the best way to realize cost savings is to reduce the strain an the services, which can only be accomplished with the cooperation of the public Direct contribution by way of a premium is surely the most effective method of encouraging the frugal use of Ontario's health care facilities. d R.C.A.C.
