It is not possible for us to go to every major city in Canada We want to talk to people who have access to big -city facilities and services and also to persons who rely more on the good neighbour policy of small towns for their well-being This way we can get a cross-section view of disabled and handicapped persons which we hope will be representative." The chairman noted that a great deal of background in- formation already is available from conventional govern- ment and con -government source Prior to setting out on their public hearings. the seven Members of Parliament will have undergone briefings in Ottawa, in areas ranging from jurisdiction, national health and welfare programs and priorities through human rights• employment, tran- sport and access policies, commurucations and the potential for aid through changing revenue policies.

Mr. Lamond said that a significant number of people who had been hesitating about buying apparently decided that mortgage interest rates weren't going any lower. ENERGY USE DOWN A cooler than normal June saw energy consumption from Ontario Hydro in the province drop below the level for the same -month last year. The temperature in June averaged 15.5 degrees C. about 3 degrees below normal. But the peak demand came in the last week of the month as temperatures began to rise. And export sales of power dropped by half as the auto industry slowed down. Both the vagaries of weather and economic conditions have dampened growth in electrical con- sumption for the first six months of 191A.

The legislation which was introduced by Public Works Minister Paul Cosgrove, calls for an increase of about $25 million paid to municipalities at the end of a four-year phase-in period. As part of a general expansion and updating of the Municipal Grants Act, introduction of the Bill in the House of Commons on April 16 followed by two days the transfer of administration of the grants program from the Department of Finance to Public Works Canada. "I am particularly pleased with the transfer to Public Works," the Minister said, "because administration of Municipal Grants is now clearly part of the broad area of federal real property management, under the Real Estate Branch of Public Works. This should make federal real property management more comprehensive, and offer a better forum for expressing municipal concerns in the area of grants in lieu of taxes. The $25 million increase in annual grants to municipalities is a reflection of the federal government's concern for the pressures facing Canadian municipalities," he said. Highlights of the new Bill include: - enlargement of the federal grant system to cover almost all categories of government real property, but excluding urban parkland, Indian reserves, and engineering struc- tures such as wharves and breakwaters; - for the first time, provision of grants covering rural area defence bases, national parks, historic sites, museums, libraries, concert halls, reclaimed lands and water con- servation projects; - the removal of nearly all existing deductions from grants for municipal services the government provides for itself; - calculation of grants using higher mill rates in some cases; - payment of grants in respect of certain types of property tax, such as water tax, which were formerly excluded. The government currently pays about $150 million in grants on federal properties located in more than 2,000 municipalities. Federal Crown corporations pay ap- proximately $110 million. r John Swain ,t Toronto for h:; •a:.. n4 t ac:_r Fa::- con: petition.

More Billboards In Scarborough By Rita Daly Scarborough council has paved the way for a blossoming of billboards signs across the borough, but has shielded the town centre area from the predicted onslaught.

Acting planning com- missioner Peter Poot told councillors, however, that as the bylaw stood, billboards could be erected in full view of the Civic Centre on surrounding agricultural -zoned lands. To solve the problem, Ward 5 Alderman Alan Robinson moved an amendment prohibiting billboards within the area bounded by Kennedy Rd., Markham Rd., Ellesmere Rd. and Highway 401. Roads fronting on these streets would also be ex - Controller Brian Harrison voted against the bylaws, warning council members of the affects the billboards would have on the aesthetics of local com- munities. But he failed to get council support for a planning board resolution calling for further study. An earlier report from the planning commissioner predicted the bylaws could generate up to 465 billboards in Scarborough, more than double the current number. There are now 224 billboards in the borough. Meet The Red Cross The Scarborough Branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society would like residents to know what they have to offer. For three days, August 11 to 13, from 12:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., a representative will man a display in the Albert Campbell District Library. 496 Birchmount Rd., at Danforth Rd. Joan Harvey, Safety Services Co-ordinator, is hoping the public will drop in for the free literature, watch the slide shows and ask questions. The display will have an emphasis on water safety and first aid suitable to the season. However, visitors will be able to learn about the many other services offered at the Scarborough Branch headquarters or out in offices and plants. The Red Cross has courses that start every month: the Standard First Aid Course, the Emergency First Aid Course ( only 6 hours ) , and the Cardio -pulmonary Resuscitation Course, which results in a cer- tificate from the Ontario Heart Association.

Lung Sounds Day after day our lungs function - silently, so we believe - to keep us alive. Actually, specific lung sounds can signify health or disease. To a trained ear. For years, doctors have asked patients to open their mouths and breathe or to cough, while the doctor listens to the sounds from the lungs with a stethoscope. Until now, though, there has been little uniformity about classifying the sounds the doctor heard. They are easier to recognize than describe; and descriptions have been confusing. Now new bioengineering techniques using com- puters make it possible to record and analyze lung sounds more accurately, says the Lung Association. According to a recent lung association publication, the intensity of lung sounds in normal people is relatively standard. And the sounds can be detected only in specific areas. Sounds heard outside these areas indicate disease. In patients with long-term disease, the intensity of the sounds varies from one area of the chest to another. Patients with chronic bronchitis, says the lung association, tend to have noisy chests. Continuous sounds usually reflect abnormalities of the air- ways. Low-pitched con- tinuous noises are common and often change after coughing. Wheezes are also heard, particularly at the end of exhalation. Discontinuous, interrupted explosive sounds called crackles often begin as the person starts to inhale. In sharp contrast, people who suffer from em- physema, which involves destruction of the tiny air sacs in the lungs, have sharply decreased lung sounds. Often, there is a total absence of these sounds. To find out how to keep your lung sounds healthy, contact your local Lung Association, the Christmas Seal people. It's a matter of life and breath.

Many do-it-your- selfers decide overnight to be plumbers, brick masons, concrete mixers, carpenters, painters and wallpaper hangers. Quite a number of these "jobs around the house" require the use of an age-old device, called "a ladder" ... which also happens to be the cause of many accidents and injuries. A ladder is such a simple tool. It has few sharp edges. It's not overly mechanical. It doesn't make any noise. And it needs no gasoline or electricity. So it doesn't ctrl, punch, get tangled, run away with you or catch fire. How, then, does it injure so many people every year? The danger lies in the negligence of the people who use it. Ladder -related accidents and injuries are a direct result of the user's carelessness and lack of attention to common - Help The Red Cross Find These Persons The Tracing and Reunion service of the Red Cross is regularly asked to locate people who are separated from their families by war, disaster, or other cir- cumstances.

The Ontario Chiropractic Association offers the follow- ing helpful suggestions to avoid injury: --Always face the ladder when climbing up or down and while working. Don't le:tve ladders standing. They're always inviting temptations to children. --Be sure the ladder has secure footing. Soft ground can be especially hazardous, since it can give way slowly and unexpectedly under weight. --Never climb all the way to the top of a ladder. The higher you climb on a ladder, the less stability you will have and the greater the potential for toppling. --Don't use a ladder that has defects. Inspect it for breaks, loose rungs or insecure steps. --If you need to move to the right or left ... climb down and move the ladder. Never stretch on a ladder as this adds great strain to the musculo -skeletal system, in addition to increasing }our chances of sustaining a serious fracture. --If you're leaning a ladder against a wall, make sure the distance from the base of the wall to the foot of the ladder is about one -forth the length of the ladder. --If you're working with or around electrical wiring, don't use a metal ladder. --Use extreme caution when working with any power tool while standing on a ladder. --Use the ladder that's right for the job. If you'll be carrying heavy materials up and down, you'll need a heavy-duty ladder. If you fall from a ladder, seek immediate attention. Visit a doctor of chiropractic for a oomprehensive exam- ination with particular attention to the spine, pelvis, neck and limbs. Some of the most serious injuries are the least obvious when they occur. Unexpected awkward and off-balance movements, as well as falls can cause serious musculo- skeletal problems. •0• Tl4ese health -.-"* are pobliabed by members of the Ontario Chiropractic Association in the interest of better public health.

Aug. 6,19W Bill Watt's World ON STAGE: This has been the year of the Black musical at the Royal Alex. First, there was Ain't Misbehavin' featuring the music of Fats Waller. It was followed by Eubie and the music of Eubie Blake. Now, there is Bubbling Brown Sugar with the music of all the great Black composers including Ellington, Hines. Holliday and Long. Nominally a book show, it's a musical tour through the old Harlem when night time was White time, when Blacks performed and White applauded with no thought or intention of slight. You'l] hear among the more than 30 songs in the show. Nobody performed by Cab Calloway. It's not like Bert Williams but it's good, bloody good! And. oh my, what a long way Mr. Calloway has removed himself from The Old Rugged Cross. You'll also hear Sweet Georgia Brown, Sophisticated Lady, Solitude, Minnie The Moocher, Stompin' At The Savoy, Take The A Train and It Don't Mean A Thing. You'll enjoy good. maybe even marvellous. singing by Ann Duquesnay iHoneysuckle Rose), Myles Savage (splendid baritone) Cecilia %orfleet ( God Bless the Child) , and the entire ensemble. You'll hardly contain yourself at the dancing of the entire company. Would love to single out in- dividuals but the old problem of space is upon us. Actually. we'd only be gilding the lily. All we really need to say is that Bubbling Brown Sugar is far and away the best of the three musicals mentioned and could be the best show of the season. It's bright. it's sptrited. it's .. bub- bling. So. why not bubble vouself down to the Royal Alex and see it. A short review- by any measure but as Paul Valery said. "It takes no more energy to write fortissimo than to write piano " On a hot summer's night, we're inclined to agree with him. BARNYARD REVELS: One of the delights of summer theatre is that it can be performed almost anywhere. It wasn't all that far fetched when Mickey Rooney would say in those wonderful old M.G.M. musicals "Gee! This is a swell barn: We can put on our show, right here." The Red Barn Theatre at Jackson's Point is one of the swellest of such edifices and the company assembled for the current season there is one of the brightest and most talented we've experienced in many summers. Presently playing is Cabaret starring Tom Kneebone is what just might be one of the high points of his career. Of course he is the satanic M.C. of the Kit Kat Club and implicit chorus. There trust surely be a strong temptation for anyone playing this role to "go broad". Mr. Kneebone does not succumb to the temp- tation and delivers a performance that is manifestly cerebral. Kneebone is connected to his headbone. ( You cannot imagine how long we've waited an opportunity to use that line!) Wonderful Marigold Charlesworth as the aging spinster projects a masterful presence by the simple expedient of un- derplaying. I've loved Miss Charlesworth for more years than any gentleman has a right to say and it's a pleasure to report that her skills are as impressive as ever. Beth Anne Cole does nicely as Sally Bowles. Her singing voice is light but she uses it well and even manages to project great power into the title song ... enough power and ex- citement to get the audience clapping rhyth- mically with her. She is also quite enchanting in mannerism and ap- pearance. Sandy Kovack as the American writer can't sing at all and director Ernest Schwarz might well con- sider having him chant his lines a la Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady. Mr. Kovack is an excellent actor mind you, it's just that he can't seem to stay on key while singing. Garry Hunt is quietly impressive as the young Nazi organizer and Dan Hennesey almost steals the show in the role of Schultz. the Jew who Ives a gentile in a world in which such a love has become anathema. Although young, he projects the frailties of late middle age as well as the air of suf- fering so long sustained by his race. A quite remarkable performance and we look for great things from this young man. It's quite a large cast and unfortunately we cannot mention all individually. Let us say however, that it is uniformly good in en- semble. In so many companies, there is a lack of discipline while others are centre stage. There is no evidence of that with this company Every member of the cast reacts while onstage and we congratulate the director for the discipline he has instilled. Cabaret continues until the end of the week and we recommend the pleasant drive up to Jackson's Point to see it ON CANVAS: This Saturday, it's the Toronto Newsboys International Boxing Team versus the Azteca Mexican Boxing Club at the Royal Canadian Curling Club (131 Broad- view Ave. i Fights start at 8:00 p.m. and there are still some tickets as well as celebrity draw tickets available at the door.

He has selected what he considers the best. It must have been a herculean task when you consider the authors represented in this collection ... Niven, Sturgeon, Carr, William Goldman, Sheckley, Boucher, Heinlein and others. Each has an introduction by Robinson that is refreshing in the extreme. We've mentioned before that we began reading science fiction long before it was considered the proper thing to do. And, we remember that many of the stories were presented almost raffishly by the editors. Nowadays, of course, S.F. is the "In" thing and editors are oh, so respectable and scholarly. Not so however. Spider Robinson. His style is bright. almost breezy and it lends an extra dimension of enjoyment to the stories he has chosen. Good book. Here's another selection from All Time Great Classic Letters From Camp, Dear Folks: This camp must be very cheap. Yesterday I heard the counsellor say he wouldn't give two cents for it. Your son, Nelson. While we're still in the world of books, allow us to point out that the book we mentioned last time out is entitled STRANGERS Among Us. Not STANGERS, whatever they are.

ON RECORD: ITZHAK PERLMEN/THE SPANISH ALBUM ( Angel) We defer to no one in our continuing ad- miration of this gifted young violinist but we have to admit some disap- pointment in this, his latest album. Oh, Mr. Perlman is as good as always and his work here is enjoyable. We suggest however, that he is defeated by his material. Spanish music -by reputation or in actuality - has a primitivity about it that can defeat any solo instrument except the guitar. The music of Sarasate, Fatla, Granados and Halffter can stir the blood. But, it doesn't on this album. Truth to ten, the only real drama is in the playing of accompanist Samuel Sanders and that's not really a good thing to say about a supporting Las Vegas The Village The Second Annual LAS VEGAS BY THE GRANGE will take place this year on August 8 & 9 at Village by the Grange. From 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., on both Friday and Saturday nights, Village by the Grange will become a Casino. with over 40 black- jack tables, wheels of fortune and other games of chance. Continuous entertainment will include The Forbidden, The Metro Stompers, Lisa Del Bello, singing waiters and waitresses, and more. Admission to the festivities will be $3. Over 150 Variety Club volunteers will participate, and it is hoped that this year's event will raise in musician. Let's reiterate. Mr. Perlman is, as always, admirable and so is the music you will hear on this album. But, there is no marriage of artist and music; just a brief flir- tation. Gawd, how we hate having to write that' Night At excess of $70,000 for Variety Village, a recreational and learning centre for underprivileged children. There'll also be the op- portunity to watch the judging of "Search for the Perfect Woman", or "Toronto's Search for '11' Contest". The winner of the contest will be flown to Playboy's Chicago Headquarters for a complete interview and test photo session with the potential of the lady becoming a Playboy Playmate. It'll be an exciting event, and a great way to con- tribute to a worthy cause. T T Make the Most of Your Meat Dollar Stretch your meat dollar by extending your purchase with stuffings, rice or pasta. Glamorize with bright vege- tables and imaginative seasonings to make a pound of less expensive meat into an appetizing, satisfying meal for half a dozen diners. dinners. Some of the less costly ;pork cuts that lend them- selves to this dressing up are shoulder butt chops, cottage roll, farmer's sausage and ground pork. A little will go a long way. Serve dishes like Little Pigeons and Pork 'n Spag- hetti Bake to your family. You'll enjoy putting the pennies saved from your food allowance into your piggy bank.

F49gs Benedict, always a favorite for breakfast or brunch. takes on a new loon. it is now served Maritime Style. Smoked cod replaces the more traditional ham adding its distinctive flavour to the combination of an E-nalisb muffin, poached egg and Hoilandane Sauce. Seafood may not be the first thing that comes to mind whin planning a breakfast. but there are many interesting and exciting recipes to prepare for morning gatherings using frozen, smoked or fresh varieties from the North Atlantic. Smoking fish is a very old art. In the past. it was used over rolls. Makes 6 servings. Serve with buttered aspara- gin, parsley onions and cabbage -carrot slaw. Bake Apple Betty in same oven" to complete your meal. mainly to temporanly preserve fish. Today. however. fish is smoked for its appetizing flavour, aroma and texture. Care must be taken in the storage of smoked fish. The keeping quality is just a little better than fresh or semi -cooked fish. It can be stored safely up to three days in the refrigerator, but if longer storage is required the fish should be frozen. Starting your day with a fish or seafood breakfast not only adds variety and great taste to your meal, but helps you meet your daily nutritive requirements as well.

It's available now, throughout the summer and into Sep- tember. Food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food keep celery handy to use in and with many foods to add crunch and cool, fresh flavor. To store celery at home, remove excess leaves and cut a thin slice from the root. Wrap celery in plastic. Refrigerate and PP use within two weeks. Celery is ideal for light, yet satisfying snacks - one stalk about 8 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches (21 by 4 cen- timetres) contains only five calories. It also gives the perfect touch to many summer salads - tossed, mixed vegetable jellied, potato and cabbage slaw. Celery Salad has a zippy flavor and cool crunch and is a perfect salad to ac- company any summer meal. Try it soon.

Traditionally in Canada, the provision of government support for the development of export sales has been considered to be the responsibility of the federal govern- ment. But, recent trends show a weakening in Canada's Speaking To You Scott Fennell M.P. Ontario Riding After last week's harsh (but well-deserved) comments on the management of the federal civil service, I thought I might spend some time examining the history of the Auditor General's office. Its 102 year history has been devoted to keeping the bureaucrats and politicians on their toes. During the centennial of the creation by Parliament of the Office, McClelland and Stewart published a thorough and fun book, Cordial But Not Cosy by Sonja Sinclair. It examines the accomplishments, controversies and failures of the seven men who have been Canada's Auditors General. The Auditor General is traditionally a hero to the tax- payers. As an officer of Parliament, an independent wat- chdog, he keeps a sharp eye on the public accounts. Few governments have liked him, few have successfully taken him on, and all have recognized the power he yields through headlines. It is only recently. during the tenure of Jim Macdonell, that the office has concentrated more on avoiding future mistakes than exposing bureaucratic horror stories. Buried behind the headlines are the details found in Sinclair's book. Canada's worst Auditor General was probably Edward Sutherland who held the office for the shortest length of time, 1919 to 1923. His auditing processes were so sloppy and out of date that an assistant deputy minister was able to make off with thousands of dollars worth of currency which was supposedly removed from circulation and destroyed. The vin= was eventually caught and sent to prison and an accomplice committed suicide in the East Block of the Parliament bindings. Sutherland's successor, Georges Gondiw, ensured a frugal use of the taxpayers' dollars during the Great Depression except for those spent on the Auditor General's Office. Questions were asked in the House of Commons about the then unheard of sums spent by Gonthier on his office furniture - $365 for an office rug and $248 for a desk. He was a status conscious man who installed a brass rail three feet inside his office. You stood at the brass rail and asked him questions. The smoothest Auditor General - a man who really knew his way around Ottawa - restored respect to the office between 1940 and ISM. He was Watson Sellar and was stingy. As Sinclair describes him in her boot, "He was that rare phertornenon, an official almost faMically convinced that taxpayers' money should be spend more carefully than his own." When in New York City on business. Sellar was appalled by expensive taxi ab fares and took subways and buses instead. Unfortunately, there have not been enough public officials like Sellar and as a result his successor, Maxwell Hen- derson and the present Auditor General, Macdonell, have had plenty of bureaucratic blunders and extravagancies to performance in export markets, particularly in markets for the manufactured goods that are the backbone of Ontario's economy. Recent surveys have shown that federal initiatives in support of exports have fallen increasingly behind the support other countries offer to their exporting firms. In this situation, the Government of Ontario believes there is a crucial need for increased provincial government activity, both to encourage improvements in the federal government policies and programs, and to expand and improve our own efforts to help Ontario -based firms compete successfully in international markets. To provide a greatly improved package of government assistance for export activity by Ontario firms, the Ontario Minister of Industry and Tourism has recently introduced the Export '80 Trade Action Plan. This plan is designed to complement and reinforce what we hope will be a strengthened and revitalized federal initiative in this critical area. The key element of the Export '80 plan is increased fun- ding. The export financing component of the Ontario Development Corporation will be more than doubled, from $12 million annually to a total of $25 million each year. The credit limit for export financing to individual firms will also be doubled, from $500,000 to $1 million. The Ontario Export Development Corporation has also been established to provide specific administrative support for the Export '80 plan. This agency will coordinate and promote market opportunities, by linking public and private sector knowledge for expanding sales abroad. As well, technology development will become increasingly important to Ontario's overall ability to compete in- ternationally. To provide a clearer focus for the transfer of technology to Ontario in a manner that will promote and complement research, development and innovation among Ontario firths, the Government of Ontario has assigned responsibility for technology mmons to the Ontario Research Foundation. Efforts to import new technology will be concentrated in fields that support domestic research and development activity. Through the '80's, as tariff barriers are lowered under the terms of the GATT agreements, Ontario firms will find srgnifwant new export opportunities. At the same time, however, they will face increased competition in in- ternational markets. To meet that competition, Ontario firms must increase their efficiency, the level and sophistication of their marketing efforts and their ability to produce high technology products. With complementary federal action. the Government of Ontario is confident the Export '80 Trade Action Plan will encourage and increasing number of Ontario firms to commit themselves to sustained efforts in export markets. These increased export sales will help to expand Ontario's manufacturing base, and thus enure this Province's continued prosperity in the years ahead. expose. Henderson was the most colourful and the wast recent thorn in the government's side. Macdonnell, who is retiring this year, has not neglected the horror stories but has m - creased the office's emphasis on proper fimancial management. His "cardial but not cosy" relabo ship with the government has meant several triumphs, such as the Audita- General Act and the creation of the office of the Comptroller General. Sinclair's book is interesting and readable. I highly recommend it.
