Province Funds Employment Services Throughout the province young people with low educational levels, drop - arts in particular, continue to have serious difficulties finding and holding on to ice. Many of these youths want to work but do not know how to go about an effec- tive job search- For some, the expense of looking for a job in a systematic way makes it impossible for them to find suitable work. The Province of Ontario has committed $15 million over five years to address- ing the employment pro- blems of this special group of youth. The Ontario Youth Secretariat, which ad- ministers this fund, has recently approved fumb for two youth employment counselling services in Durham: Durham Region Youth Employment Ser- vice, sponsored by YMCA, received a grant of $17,800 and John Howard Society - Oshawa Youth Employ- ment Service received $26,600.

Dec. 23, 1981 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Spot Checks We are not opposed to the idea of police stopping motorists to check on their driving. However, we do have a definite objection to random checks by the police, without any reason for the stop. This is not our idea of freedom in a democracy. Well, you say, but the spot checks might stop some drunk from killing an innocent pedestrian and this is true. However, stopping 30,000 motorists in order to grab 250 potential killers doesn't sound too efficient for police work. We would prefer that police ride the traffic and watch for poor drivers. Under the laws we prefer, police may stop on- ly motorists for a specific reason, such as. they suspect that the driver is drunk because his car is not staying in the lane boundaries. Now Attorney General Roy McMurtry wants power given to police to arbitrarily remove motorists from the road for 12 hours if they have a lower alcohol level than the present .08 level. This would mean that a person drinking about two glasses of beer would be taken from his car and not allowed to drive for 12 hours. Now, we have no arguments in favour of drinking and driv- ing. We disagree with this entirely. However. this new pro- posed law being passed in the legslature removes more per- sonal freedom from the individual and that, in our opinion, is not our idea of democracy. The same government at Queen's Park in the guise of res- cuing rights for minorities is suggesting totalitarian laws in the area of human rights which would remove basic rights from the majority. Now it wishes to impose a totalitarian police state action on motorists and goodness knows how many more laws these so-called conservatives could dream up for the future. Freedom is a very fragile commodity and one which most Canadians take for granted_ In recent years a succession of laws by all three levels of government has whittled down in- dividual rights and the new charter of rights has not mchd- ed some. either. On general principles the public should express its opposi- tion to the police having arbitrary powers of the removal of driving licences and shout its opposition to these individual freedom rights removal. To curb drinking, a more positive educational approach would be better. It would save using up valuable police time and keep that precious freedom comanodity intact. Christmas Gifts Very soon - in fact we are probably overdue - the matter of selecting a Christmas gift will be upon us. What are we go- ing to get for everyone in the family? Well, a quick glance at some newspaper ads and. perhaps, those kindly old grandparents could use two tickets to a club featuring Mr. Tease would be different. Or for the little woman in your life, perhaps a mink bikini would be nice. Oh, of course, she couldn't use it in the water - but think of the impact as she reaches under the tree for that little package. And then as she opens it, can you imagine her ex- pression? But Christmas is for children and this year we have the greatest gifts. For example, there are all those electronic games which will instruct your kids in great ideas, such as how to shoot down the invading armies from space' And what about those battery powered vehicles (battery not in- cluded i' Can't you see that large dump truck bringing you his mote across the living roan. You pick up the note - which saves your kid using his little legs - which asks you for the last two weeks of allowance which you have forgotten to shell out. Doesn't it all sound so exciting'. Gone are the days of giv- ing simple, practical gifts. We are living in a world of more electronic and mechanical gadgets. Oh, and there is the new gift idea of a video tape cassette which hooks very easily to your television set. And for a few paltry dollars you can get tapes of almost every movie made. Take a trip to your local video store and invariably, if the merchandise is displayed, there are people looking over the X-rated movies. We visualize that tight after Chn•istmas dinner, some families will gather around their TV and insert the latest video tape with sizzling style movies. Of course, a lot of people will have neat movies such as Bing Crosby doing his White Christmas thing. It all boggles the imagination - but we are going through a lot of changes in electronic information and Christmas is going to be very different in the future. Are you ready?

On Sat. Dec. 19th the couple was married in the chapel at the Scarborough General Hospital, a few yards from Linda's hospital bed. The wedding orginally was to have been performed in Weston and the reception at the Howard Johnson's, Scarborough. Only the ceremony was switched to have the wedding completed on schedule. Linda used a wheelchair as much as possible, but later at her reception she had the fust and last dance with her new hubby. The hospital staff arranged a private room for the newlyweds for their first night together. The wedding saw a series of problems. Besides the bride's Timusday operation, the mother of the groom arrived by air from the USA to farad that the airline had lost her luggage. Better Sales Ahead by Claude M. Root, Vice-president Real Estate, Royal Trust Residential real estate sales should begin to show resurgence in 1982 despite a buying public that has been in- timidated by high interest rates, Claude M. Root, Vice - President, Real Estate. Royal Trust Corporation of Canada. said today. With mortgage rates at historically high levels for most of the past several months, the turnover of resale homes has been static or in decline in most areas of Canada since the summer. Mr. Root cited four major reasons why Royal Trust ex- pects the resumption of a busier resale market in 19OZ beginning possibly as early as spring. The supply of newly -built homes will do little to satisfy pent-up demand; housing starts in 1962 are not expected to rise from this year's estimated 179.000_ During the past year, the cost of rental accommodation has increased faster than in any year in the past decade, despite the fact that eight of the ten provinces have rent control mechanisms. Also, the available rental accom- modation has decreased. Therefore. ownership will be even more attractive relative to tenancy. Canadians have been increasing their reservoir of sav- ings: at Oct. 14, 1981, Canadians held $89.7 billion in Cana- dian currency deposits in chartered banks, up from $69.7 billion at April 30, 1980, and only $32.0 billion at the end of 1975. High interest rates - and particularly high mortgage rates - in the latter half of 1961 were the principal cause of a decline in the volume of housing sales. The result is an un- precedented backlog, and therefore selection, of homes for sale. Mr. Root said that the market for commercial real estate remains strong, particularly in the major urban centres of Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto. In Toronto, downtown office rents have reached as high as $45 per square foot, prompting some companies to locate ancillary operations, such as computer centres, in the suburbs. But high carrying charges have prompted a slowdown in industrial development. There is less speculative activity, and most new industrial bu ddings are being constructed on a pre -determined contract basis. Mr. Root said the 1962-83 outlook for the real estate market depends largely on interest rate movements, which affect all segments of the economy. Meantime, the recent and anticipated decline in interest rates should be followed by increased activity in the re -sale housing market. Historically, buyers come into the market when interest rates begin to rise following a period of stability," Mr. Root said. "I expect this again to be the case, although the danger for consumers who are buying with borrowed funds is that mortgage money is apt to become scarcer as interest rates resume an upward trend." The reason for this, he stated, is that lenders will look for much shorter maturities because of their experience with recent volatile interest rate movements. "Once rates begin to move higher again, traditional sources of mortgage funds will hedge their commitments by switching into shorter term instruments." At the same time, a number of somewhat artificial factors may reduce the amount of mortgage funds available, with a consequent tendency towards higher rates. Among these are certain measures in the November 12 federal govern- ment budget. She had to run around town buying a new outfit for the wed- ding. Pastor Arthur Taylor of the Welland Canal Seaman' Mis- sion of St. Catharines performed the ceremony. Its wife, Dorcas, sang "There Is Love" and "Love Story" for the wedding. Originally a pianist was to have played for her, but with the ceremony moved to the hospital, it was learned that only an organ was available and the pianist could play only a piano. A tape was made until the wee hours of the morning in order to have the right accompaniment for the songs, which all went smoothly. The bride's mother so excited at the change of events went to buy some flowers and forgot to put on her dress and showed up at the florist with only a slip. Friends and relatives came from east and west in Canada and the United States for the ceremony. Nora Murphy, Supervisor of Emergency Services for Scarborough General Hospital. arranged the use of the hospital's chapel for Linda and Charles, and the whole event had hospital staff excited and happy. Lunda. who works for McGraw -Edison Ltd. o(Scarborough met Charles last May when he was here in his work as travelling auditor for the international company. He said that now he is married he will have to seek a job with less travelling involved. The Meades will take up residency in Chicago.

Holiday festivities and the preparation that goes into them can sometimes be overwhelming. But whatever your holi- day customs or religious beliefs, I hope you can fid the time to reflect on the joys this season brings to you. Is it love and goodwill, good cheer, thankfulness or hope' Whatever you cherish in this holiday season, I hope you can also find the time to share it with others who may be less fortunate. A small act of kindness - a gift of time and interest - can be precious to the kmely, the aged, the dispirited. Our hospitals and senior citizens' homes, organization helping the troubled or homeless would especially welcome your help at this time of the year. As we prepare for the holiday season, we cannot ignore the problems we face. Today's economic conditions have touch- ed us all. Beyond our borders, however, we see a world troubled by strife and poverty, where people are yearning to be free. In comparison, our own worries may not seem so hopeless. As Canadian, and residents of Ontario, we have much to be thankful for. We are a nation blessed with an undeniable wealth of natural and human resources. Despite the present difficulties which have also affected others around the world, we enjoy an economic and industrial base stronger and more diversified than most. We can take pride that as Canadians we have worked together to overcome our regional self -interests to reach agreement on our Constitution. We have built well on our tradition of freedom, tolerance and understanding. This Christmas season, may you find joy in the love of family and friends, contentment with the blessings you en- joy and hope for the future.

During the afternoon the 411 Squadron Mobile Com- mand Band will perform in concert in the Civic Centre Central Space. After meeting council, guests are invited to enjoy light refreshments. Levees have traditionally been conducted under military direction and for New Year's Day members of Canada's armed forces will act as escorts and in- troduce visitors to members of council. The custom of the Levee originated in Feudal Europe about 1000 A.D. after the fall of the Roman Empire. It evolved as an opportunity for citizens to pay their compliments and respects to their leader, while the leader, in turn, expressed his appreciation for the loyalty and support of the citizens. Everyone is welcome to attend the Mayor's New Year's Day Levee. It pro- vides an excellent oppor- tunity, not only to meet Scarborough Council, but to see the Civic Centre.

Two parents appeared before Scarborough Board of Health last week to enlist the board's help in setting up an education program for the parents so that they might know what to do if their children contract head lice. According to the parents, there have been 19 cases of head lice out of a school population of 166 over the last three months. The outbreak was in late October and while the cases were treated, there were new outbreaks in November and December. One parent told the board that her children had been re -infected and that she, herself, had contracted lice. The Health Department puts out a pamphlet in the schools about head lice but the Board was told that the pamphlet is unclear as to what to do and what to look for. Dr. Keith Fitzgerald, Medical Officer of Health for Scarborough, agreed to meet with the parents to set up a program for concern- ed parents. No one knows where lice come from but they can survive about 30 days when human blood is available. Because lice can only live 4-7 days when not on a human body, the parents were assured that all the lice in the school will die during the Christmas vaca- tion. The only effective means of treating head lice. and the eggs they lay is a sham- poo called Kwellada. This shampoo is effective because it contains a pesticide called lindane, the same material used in flea collars. The parents expressed some concern over the need for repeated use of this shampoo if re- infestation occurs because the shampoo was causing sore spots on the scalp. Dr. Fitzgerald told the parents that he would not advise us - Judo At Campbell Library Fifteen boys and girls of the East Scarborough Boy's and Girl's Club, ages 7 to 15 years, will put on a demonstration of judo at Albert Campbell Library, 496 Birchmount Rd. at Dan- forth Rd., Sat.

Woburn Collegiate by Dabble Arnold MATH LEAGUE The Senior Math League won its second game last Thursday in a close match against Macdonald Col- legiate. The game began with written responses to tricky math problems. At half- time, the two teams were deadlocked at 15-15. The tension mounted in the second section when Macdonald edged ahead by 2 points. But Woburn came back in the oral responses to win the match by a score of 50-46. JUNIOR BOYS' BASKET- BALL In an exhibition game last Thursday the boys' basket- ball team defeated Osler Vocational School 42-33. Victor Svriksts was strong on offence scoring an outstanding 16 points. Ron Marshall and Archie MacPherson also played an impressive game with 12 ing this shampoo more than three times over a six week period. While the pesticide is deemed safe now and has no serious side affects, Dr. Fitzgerald ad- mitted that he didn't know whether in 2D years, it might become unsafe. According to Ella Beard- more, Director of Nursing Services, the cases at Bridlewood School do not constitute an epidemic. Ms. Beardmore stated that nor- mal procedure is to check everyone in the class plus the family when a child is found to have heed lice. points each. BOYS' HOCKEY Woburn's hockey team avenged an earlier defeat in the season at the hands of Mowat Collegiate and regained first place in the East Division by over- powering their rival 9-6 on Tuesday. Mark Fernandez, Brian Greer, Greg MacDonald, Kevin Young, and Adam Plenderleith each con- tributed goals to the Woburn cause while Gord Whealey scared 2 goals in the convincing defeat. Richard Galli in net played a solid game, com- ing through with several key saves. Woburn came back from a first period deficit of 5-2 to tie Campbell Collegiate 6.6 on Wednesday. Chris Dewsbury played a strong offensive game, scoring 2 goals. The team now takes a Christmas break sitting with a 6-1-1 record. The regular season resumes January 5.

This $10 will be in addition to the $25 fee for the use of the wed- ding chapel. The popularity of the Cen- tral Space as a background for wedding pictures please Alderman DeKort who argued against the new fee. "Why pick on newly mar- ried couples?" the Alder- man asked Council, ad- ding, "They've got enough problems. We shouldn't add to them." According to DeKort, the Civic Centre is a people place and no fee should be charged. But the Borough Clerk, Jack Poots, who recom- mended the fee system, says that there is a pro- blem with too many booked wedding parties "jockey- ing'- for space with unbook- ed parties. The new fee system will regulate the number of par- ties per hour and put some semblance of order to the photography sessions. The cost will help to defray the cost of cleaning up the con- fetti brought into the Cen- tre. COLOUR OF SHOES A decision about what col- our shoes Scarborough firefighters should wear will cost Scarborough tax- payers about $25.000. An arbitrator is necesary to resolve the problem which arose last May when a firefighter lodged a grievance against an order requiring black shoes to be worn during inspection. The matter arose again last Monday, at Council, during a debate on dress uniforms for fire depart- ment personnel. Council received a report from the Fire Chid and the Commissioner of Person- nel recommending Council stop issuing dress uniforms for all mechanical and operational staff below the rank of Acting District Chid. The uniform, which is free, costs about $380 and consists of cap, tunic, pants, blue shirt, tie and black shoes. The fire chief feels that the work uniform supplied to staff is adequate for non - firefighting duties. The dress uniform, according to the report, "serves little or no purpose on a day to day basis." However, the Firefighters' Association doesn't want the present system changed. Council went into con- ference on the item because it concerned a per- sonnel matter but finally decided to refer the matter to Board of Control for fur- ther discussion. Board of Control on Wednesday, voted to adopt the recommendation of the fire chief to discontinue the issuance of a dress uniform. CONTINUE NEWSPAPERS Scarborough politicians will be able to continue to read the Toronto Star in their offices now that Scar- borough Council overturn- ed a Board of Control deci- sion to discontinue the borough's subscriptions. The Board of Control's decision was a reaction against the Star's elimina- tion of both the Scar- borough Page and the Star East Page, thereby reduc- ing the coverage of local news. But Alderman Prinsloo recommended that Council continue its subscription since "newspapers are a necessity However, the future of the Star's delivery to the Civic Centre remains dubious since the recommendation passed by Council con- tinues delivery of the Star only for the remainder of this year, 1981 ICTS PRIORITIES Scarborough politicians wild planners are concern- ed about the top priority Metro Toronto government has given to the develop- ment of the Waterfront In- termediate Capacity Tran- sit System (ICTS) and the affects this will have on im- proved transit to the suburbs. The ICTS to Scarborough Town Centre is not in jeopardy by the harbour - front project but the exten- sion of the ICTS to Malvern may be. Metro has a policy of decentralization which means developing regional sub -centres such as the Scarborough Town Centre. Rapid transit is necessary in order to develop these centres and bring people to them. But, according to Ken 'Whitwell, Planning Com- missioner, the waterfront project is not consistent with the policies of decen- tralization in Metro's Of- ficial Plan. Scarborough Council agrees and is letting Metro know that it objects to the implementation of the har- bourfront ICTS before the Accelerated Transit Plann- ing Study is completed. This study will set forth priorities for rapid transit in ;Retro. Alderman Frank Faubert calls the province's com- mitment to the harbour - front project over other lines to the suburbs blatantly parochial". Commissioner Whitwell was authorized to raise the borough's concerns to Metro's Economic Development and Planning Committee.

Deo. 23, 1961 Bill Watt's World LOOKING AHEAD: This is by no means our final col- umn for the year. Still, we're now close enough to 1962 that thought should be given to something that everyone needs and which just happens to make great last minute Christmas presents. We mean, of course, calendars and Sharron Budd of Collins Publishers has sent us five that we simply must men- tion. In our Downtown perch we intend to hang the MURPHY'S LAW CALEN- DAR, 12 months of reasons why things go raigg. We particularly like McGowan's Axiom: If a Christmas gift is advertis- ed as "under $50", you can bet it's not $19.95. And, how about Barach's Rule: An alcoholic is a person who drinks more than his own physician. The Scottish Clans Calen- dar is a handsome piece of work.

How interesting to discover too that I might be an owner of the ancient capital city of Stirling. That and two p. might get me a plate of haggis. The Paddington Calendar is a predictable delight for children with its charming illustrations of everyone's favourite bear. The Serendipity Calendar seems to have been intend- ed for children but we have an idea that women will particularly treasure it. For each month there's an illustration from a Seren- dipity Book. They are thought by many to be among the best of children's books. Certainly the illustrations are fust rate and the little excerpts from the stories they il- lustrate are certain to pi- que the curiosity of the young. Finally, there's the Kurelek Calendar and this year's theme is Children's Games. There's a pseudo - primitive look about the work of Kurelek that makes one think of Grand- ma Mases or even Currier and Ives. Charm aside though, there's an accuracy about them that makes them valuable in the manner of the much earlier C.W. Jef- freys. And, still on the subject of Kurelek, may we also recommend his book The Polish Canadians. This UQLt)E1J �"EEC TAVERN FAMOUS CHINESE FOODS 3113 Sheppard Ave. E.

ON YOUR TOES: Just a reminder, as though one were really needed, that the National Ballet is once again bringing its presen- tation of the beloved Nut- cracker to The O'Keefe for Christmas. We understand that there just might be a few seats left. Certainly, it can't hurt to try. Sorry to say that we won't be performing with the company this year. One supposes that's the curse of bulging muscles that em- barrass other dancers. It couldn't possibly be the fact that we lack a simple sense of direction when we can't see the sun. Could it? Anyway. The Nutcracker is grand fun for both adults and children. And, it never grows stale. MORE HOLIDAY FUN: Here are two holdiay fun luncheons worthy of note and of vour custom. Both are in the Imperial Rooth of the Roval York. Tomor- row. it's the Bulls and Bears Luncheon. This is an event that any business man can enjoy but the prin- cipal thrust is towards the financial community. There'll be dancing to Howard Cable's Quintet and special entertainment by singer comedienne Ricky Yorke accompanied at the piano by Jobs Red- mond. You really should experience her Bette Mid- dler. On Thursday, December 31st, it's the Haugh Ma Nai Luncheon with a special Scottish menu, a piper and singer Christine Scott. Just the thing to get one primed and ready to declaim that "It's a braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht, the nicht". And. if you can say it, you're alricht. Guid nicht! Beat that Pennington!

As an adult we refuse to accept that travel to where other We forms might be found is im- possible in a humankind's life span. We refuse because of our belief that the speed of light is not ab- solute and that man's capacity for adaptation and change to seek other life forms exceeds the im- agination of both the scien- tific and theological com- munities. Obviously our belief doesn't prevail and it's thought that if and when contact is made with other sentient beings, it is the lat- ter who will come to us. That's the theme of Voyagers by Ben Bova ( Doubleday) . A controlled path moving object is detected en route to Earth by the world's astronomers and the nations of Earth prepare to meet it. A joyous occasion of great magnitude is what it should be. Imtead, the enterprise degenerates into a latter day Tower of Babel as scientists, politicians and theologians jostle to stake their claims to immortali- ty. Taut, well-written and scientifically accurate (or reasonably so) Voyagers depicts the manner in which we, in our cynicism, believe it will be when the fust extra -terrestrial con- tact is made. Mankind can and, we believe. one day will soar far beyond Earth's surly. confines. But, he will not do it in his present state and he will botch any attempt to meet visiting in- telligences. Don't take our word for it though. Read Voyagers. There's no ques- tion that you'll be well entertained but we respect- fully suggest that you try to extract from it more than just passing pleasure. ON SCREEN: We were present at a recent preview showing of Twentieth Cen- tury Fox's Taps starring George C. Scott and Tim Hutton. It's our understan- ding that several of the local critics have been less than enthusiastic about it. That's unfortunate because their in print musings might put off some from going to see a most effec- tive motion picture. As for us, we still hold to our basic tenet that the audience is what determines whether a film is acceptable or not. With us was a very young lady who is fond of the movies and manages to see a fair number of them. We value her opinion. She states that Taps is even more compelling than Gallipoli! She further states that the production of the film was careful and precise and could not have been more lifelike. In other words the actors knew what they were doing and helped make the overall production a worthwhile Out of the mouths of babes, eh! ON RECORD: In a recent column we mentioned several albums worthy of your consideratm. Unfor- tunately, two of them were on the dull side of the editing shears and were missed.

FAST CHRISTMAS EXIT: It was on this date in 1823 that A Visit From St. Nicholas was first publish- ed.

We Consume $300 Million Bottled Water The floodgates have open- ed for bottled water - last year Canadians bought $300 millions worth. From tap to bottled, sud- denly water, the homeliest of substances, is being rediscovered. The time has come to look at the water we drink. The following information has been adapted from material produced by Public Health Nutritionists in Ontario. Health -conscious Cana- dians are goosing water, perhaps to reduce their in- take of sugar, alcoboi, caf- feine or calories. Or perhaps for the "touch of class" associated with bot- tled water today. "Pure" water has no taste. Various waters derive their flavour from their particular mix of minerals which become dissolved as the water seeps through rock beneath 1we+arth's surface. "Hard water" contains significant amounts of calcium and magnesium, whereas "soft water" tends to have none sodium. "Distilled water" has had virtually all the minerals removed and thus is pure water. If your knowledge of bottl- ed water is a little murky, perhaps these definitions will help clarify the issue. First, bottled water may be "still" or "gaseous". The sparkling waters fizz because they contain dissolved carbon dioxide naturally or because they are intentionally car- bonated. Club soda is water, often tap water, which is filtered and carbonated Mineral or spring water are synonymous terms for water which has been col- lected from an underground source, as op- posed to a public water sup- ply- However, up However, the label must state its total content of IuR )4 -AS � 3 1 Thesp t iri of i AA i Christmas is dissolved mineral salts in parts per millions; the ad- dition of any fluoride or ozone and the total fluoride content.

Hale on the south side of Concession 6 Road in Greenwood to permit a land severance has been approved. Rezoning An application for rezon- ing submitted by 315804 On- tario Limited on the north- west corner of Brock Road- Bayly St. has been approv- ed. Valley Farm Rd 3 Finch 20 single detached dwell- ings and a day nursery facility on the north-west corner of the intersection of Valley Farm Rd. and Finch Ave. has been approved. Widenings of the two roads will be taken on both sides. Gordon Mitchell of 1491 Finch Ave. worried that traffic would be generated by the proposed day care centre but the committee told him that access to the day care cen- tre would be from the inter- nal road. New Subdivision Approval has been given for a subdivision of 142 residential single detached dwellings, two open space blocks, one private open space block, one commer- cial block and 31 blocks of future residential develop- ment. evelopmeat. The developer is JDS.In- vestments Limited. Refused An application for rezon- ing by E. Raponi cin trust) on the east side of Wood - view Ave. has been refus- ed. Mr. Levine, representing the applicant, said that this appliction should not be considered premature because sanitary sewers will be installed along Sheppard Ave. to Wood - view Dr. in 1962. He said that his client would con- sider having lots 6o feet by 200 feet in order to conform to the existing ones. Mr. Raponi's represen- tative said that he is willing to convey storm drainage along the southern portion of his property which will benefit other landowners on Woodview Ave. Objectors included Paul Dunbar of 1833 Woodview Ave. who said that he lives north of the property and the drainage on his proper- ty is bad now and would be worse if the lands are filled in and developed. Sid Evans of 1849 Wood - view Ave. said his house was built in 1916 and he had to fill his front yard to stop water from crossing his property. Elizabeth Paton of 1841 Woodview Ave. said that she lives three lots north of the property under discus- siaa and water must be pumped from her house three times a day. And she said that water drainage has been deteriorating since municipal water services were installed because peo- pie tend to use more water. St. John Ambulance Apply the safety rules you Wed.

P"One environment in which to undergo their tests," said Dr. John Anthony, the department's medical director. "It also helps take the pressure off the emergency department, our former location." The department is located on the ground level near the hospital's main elevators. Susan Schaeffer, chief technologist, oversees the four -member staff in their care and treatment of pa- tients with chronic obstruc- tive lung diseases. "Hospitals are focussing more and more on home care programs and out- patient therapy. The department's new quarters will provide a cohesive unit to meet the demands of our growing community," Mrs. Schaeffer explained. The staff, graduates of post -secondary medical technology programs, is responsible for patient needs and respiratory equipment in all depart- ments such as the Recovery and Intensive Care Units (ICU). "We make rounds at least twice a day in Recovery and ICU to mautor our pa- tients, check the equuipment and make any ad' ents that are called for," Mrs. Schaeffer said. Other staff duties include setting up and oaf various types of therapeutic gas and mist inhalation equipment to ad- minister prescribed doses of medicinal gases and aerosolized drugs to pa- tients; conferring with pa- tients, explaining equip- ment and procedures; maintaining all respiratory therapy equipment to en- sure proper operating con- dition; adapting, designing and aiding in construction of special equipment for procedures and Ior patients with special requirements and acting as a resource for other hospital personnel on respiratory therapy equipment and its utiliza- tion. The department also operates an out-patient clinic where referral pa- tients with suspected hmg diseases such as asthma and emphysema are tested. Home care patients use the facility for check- ups and re-evaluations. "We work very closely with our home care pa- tients, with the gas com- panies servicing the equip- ment quipment and with Phyllis Fox, the Home Care Program Co-ordinator for our hospital,.' Mr. Schaeffer said. "Before sending patients borne, we familiarize them with the equipment, ex- plaining the required treat- ment to ease any fears they might have. We monitor their progress when they visit the out-patient clinic and snake any equipment or treatment adjustments that are needed " Scarborough Centenary has recently acquired l • f 3 oe 9� P I P E S041A t r4 P IL j, I SPECIAL OFFER! y, 2 for the price of r on all Trypis -; custom made pipes F 3 • A perfect gift for any occasion • Repairs and service to all makes of pipes Try Trypis special blended tobacco We also carry • Meerschaum Pipes Lighters • Smokers' accessories 2300 Lawrence Ave. E.

"We are the only hospital in Scar- borough providing this ser- vice," Mrs. Schaeffer said. "The test shows us, first of all, if a person has asthma, and if so, how severe and how quickly it can be reversed. The test also determines the effec- tiveness of a particular bronchodilator drug and asthmatic patient is using," she added. Other equipment includes a computerized pulmonary function system which determines lung volumes and air flow rates; a bron- choscope, an instrument that allows the doctor to look directly into bronchial tubes; and Ear Oxymetery equipment which measures the level of oxygen in the blood system. "The Air Oxymetery test is a non -evasive one, an im- portant feature. We place sensors on the patient's ear to measure how saturated the blood is with oxygen," Mrs. Schaeffer explained. "This information is very important for home care emphysema patients as it tells us the patients' exact oxygen needs for when they are relaxing or exercising." This machine is also used in ICU to con- tinually monitor patients. Opened in 1967, Scar- borough Centenary Hospital is a 525 -bed ter- tiary care facility pro- viding service to patients from Scarborough and other parts of Metropolitan Toronto, as well as Markham, Pickering and Ajax. Engineering Student Prizes Twenty-seven applied science, mathematics and engineering students in co- operative education pro- grams at the University of Waterloo have won $100 prizes for writing the best reports based on their off - campus work terms last summer.

One of the most attractive Christmas plants is the cyclamen. This plant also prefers cool, bright condi- tions. "It takes greenhouse growers 15 months to pro- duce a large cyclamen," says Mr. Fleming, "but on- ly 15 minutes of cold air on the way home from the stroe will reduce its attrac- tiveness." Cyclamen should be kept moist, but not wet, at all times. Remove spent blooms to keep the plant flowering. For warmer homes, tube*ous-rooted begonias, fibrous -rooted begonias, gloxinias, and chrysan- themums are recommend- ed. These plants require good light, moist soil and temperatures of 18 to 22°C. "Make sure the plant is wrapped securely before leaving the store," says Mr. Fleming. 'Warm the car and pick the plant up at the shop door if possible." Be sure to include plant care instructions with all Stift plants. A by Millis Hull Sunday morning was a beautiful one as we con- tinue the Christmas theme with Amy Verner, representing the Sunday School, lighting the fourth Advent Candle. The sermon was entitled "Christmas Lights" poin- ting out the use of lights in all phases of Christmas promotion, decoration and in the home itself. Lights are very symbolic. They are also very comforting - how nice to walk into a lighted room - how discom- fiting at times to have to enter a dark hone alone. Children fear the dark; so Centennial Rouge United Church do some adults. So light gives us comfort. Other lights are used as guidelines - lighthouses, traffic lights and others. Jesus Christ was sent to us to be our guiding Light so let us follow it just as the Magi followed his star. Guest soloist was Mrs. Sylvia Wisbey, a member of the Canadian Opera Company. Next week will be Christmas Sunday. The children will remain for service and so the type of worship will be a little less formal. The choir has been added to and it is hoped they will be able to add to Volunteers & Holidays Do volunteer programs take a holiday? Some do, especially at Christmastime, but not the Aindliary at Scarborough Centenary Hospital. Because many of the pa- tients will be unable to go home for the holidays, nurses, staff and vohmteers get caught up in the Christmas spirit, decorating and giving that little extra to cheer the pa- tients at holiday time. A thoughtful reminder of the volunteers' caring will be the colourful tray favour which will accompany the traditional Christmas din- ner. Volunteers spend many hours making holdiay tray favours year round and their ingenuity have helped to brighten many a holiday for a hospital -bound patient. Most services will be clos- ed Christmas day. but dur- ing the holidays the Aux- iliary will be installing televisions, serving in the Gift Shop, escorting pa- tients, delivering flowers and ming baby pictures as is done all year. Of course, not all volunteers can be a part of the hospital holiday ac- tivities, and for those who must travel or have other committments, Candy - stripers fill the void, bring- ing with them their own special charm which somehow manages to out- shine the Christmas decorations throughout the hospital. Chrism s in the hospital? Not the ideal way to spend Christmas, whether work- ing or as a patient, but with the help of the nurses, staff and auxiliary at Scar- borough Centenary Hospital, Christmas '81 will not pass without a sign that someone cares, and isn't that what Christmas is all about?

In fact there is so much more to a winter beach holiday in India - one can soak in the sun on secluded Kovalam beach in the morning and spend the afternoon exploring the rich hinterland of churches and temples, forts and palaces, or go surf -riding, or if you just want to spend your days in quiet, swim to the silk smooth seas, sip fresh coconut milk and just lap up the sunshine. For those tired of skiing or swimming. India offers other attractions in winter. This is also the right time to see India's wildlife or watch its bird life. Nowhere else in the world is there such a variety of animal and bird life as in India. The AK' : jungles, lakes and rivers of Kovalam this land are the home of many rare species - the tiger. the one horned rhino. snow leopard and wild ass and the Asiatic Attractions of India Ion' to mention a few. And most of the game preserves are best visited during the cold • - weather. One finds comfortable u ri ng Winter ter lodgings in Forest Rest Houses vast and diverse land of India is one of varying climates. Though the climate can be described as generally sub -tropical, it has three dis- tinctive seasons: a hot and dry summer during April and July. followed by a wet monsoon season when the plains tum into a lush green, and finally the winter between November and March which is really the hest time to visit India The winter is pleasantly mild in the north and decreases in intensity and duration as we Proceed south. This is when the climate is bracing the skies are blue and the sun is warm. This is also the season of fes- tivals such as Dussehra and Diwali, and of the colourful national Republic Day at its most colourful in Delhi, of the famous Pushkar cattle fair, near Ajmer known for its rich colour and costumes, the camels and bullock races, and of course the Goa carnival, a festival of frolic and merriment - a Mardi - Gras full of masquerades, balls and pageantry. During this time one can travel in the plains of Northern India. visiting the great forts and palaces of Rajasthan - in Jaipur or Jodhpur, l�daipur. Bikaner or Jaisalmer - which are all not far from Delhi. Or indeed see that wonder in mar- ble - the monument of love - the famous Taj Mahal at Agra. There are of course other added attractions especially in the winter. like the mountain resort in Kash mir-Gulmarg, where one can ski on excellent Him- alyan slopes - Gulmarg, at above 3.000 metres is not far from Srinagar with good ho - cels and cottages to accommo- date the tourists, where ski lifts and equipment are avail- able at a modest price. Clear blue skies, brilliant sunshine and delightful ski -slopes make Gulmarg• a sportsman's winter paradise. After the fun and frolic at Gulmarg, one can take some time to relax in Srigagar's house -boats. This is a good place for shopping with great bargains in carpets and shawls. So much for the mountains. Then visit Kovalam and Goa on the west coast Both provide an ideal holiday setting for those who want to bask in the sun. Goa is an hour's flight from Bombay or one can even take a delightful cruise on a little ship to Goa. Full of lush tropical landscapes, cathedrals and temples. Goa also has miles of golden beaches. The 100 km. long Goa coastline is endowed with some of the love- liest beaches in the world. The very names are lyrical - Colva. Calurgate. Gaspier and Betim etc. There is Colva, with its silky sand, where swimming in the winter sun is a seasonal exper- ience. Cola in fact is a series of beaches 19 kms. long, as indeed the whole Goa is' The beaches include Saxiao vagAm Mandrem. MorjirrGaga, and Betim: the list is endless. But Goa is not all beaches. There is much more to sec. Magnifi- cent ancient cathedrals charm ing little towns. sunny places, old fortresses alongside beau- tiful Hindu temples of blended architecture. Add to that the Latin fen our. and you have an exotic Mediterranean resort in India All thea are within easy reach of the sun -baked beaches. Tourists can stay in excellent hotels or corrlfoxtable cottages on the beach and hire luxury cars to travel around. Further south ofTribandrum is Ko% alarm India's best planned beach resort The sun -kissed palm fringed, stretch of beach is among the finest in the wurloi And the complexes here make for an entirely selfcontained world of leisure. Oh' it is so relaxing. Indeed Ko%alam sums up all the beauties of Kerala in a magnificent beach resort Here you can live in a palace or beach cottage, swim and sun- bathe and follow it up with an age old Indian Ayurvedic mas- sage and oil bath, seep your- self in Yoga, or glide lazily down the famous backwaters and come back to an evening of traditional Kathakali dance. Or if you wish, take an excit- ing trip to the fascinating Periyar wildlife sanctuary only 200 kms. away to see wild ele- phants. Within a few hours drive from Ken alam, are paddy fields and coconut groves, shady lagoons and plantations of rub. ber and cardomom. And not far away are ancient temples of great architectural beauty. Then there is Kanya Kumari, or Cape Comorin, the tip of India where the oceans meet and the sunrise and sunset are just glorious. North of Kovalam is Cochin, a port city and a mosaic of Hindu. Jewish, Por- tuguese. Dutch. Chinese and Islamic cultures. The city's Jewish synagogue is 4 centuries old. The Church of St. Francis and the 17th century Bolghatty Palace are splendid. And na- turally here, Christmas and and cottages, guided tours and sightseeing on elephant back or land rover, all are available. One should visit the Jim Cor- bett Park, a noted sanctuary in the foot hills of the Himalayas. Add to that. the other great attractions of India, which pro vide a variety unequalled any- where. The fresco of Ajanta and Elkwa arc of fascination. so also the temple art of Khali uraho and Konarak. Wherever one goes winter time is pleasant and gay - in fact the best time to be in India. So visit India in the winter and share the warmth and joy of Indian hospitality - you will feel like coinins;again. Our Sumngle Dog by Buil Marion A beagle is filet and foremost a hound, with characteristically a strong hunting instinct and 'breed of our dog "Scruffy"is a cross bet- ween the harrier and English hound, or by remote chance a terrier. "Scruffy." is one of the most durable of dogs and can live almost anywhere. His short, thick coat, smooth in texture, varies from a tri -coloured black, camel and white to any true hound colour. We have recognized some good qualities in our gentle, playful beagle. Also, he has gained a little recognition as a show dog, and is a good companion animal. Beneath his sturdy build is a resilient personality, which can put up with a lot of nonsense without retalia- tion, thus making him an ideal pet for children. He responds well to affec- tionate care, and is so even- tempered, thereby making him a fine pet. His perpetual mournful facial expression veils a cheerful disposition. By our careful search, and as owners of a well-bred beagle, we found ourselves rewarded by a pet that serves us with devotion. • If you are serving a variety of hors d'oeuvre, it is tradi- tional to include something fresh, something meaty, something salty and some- thing moist and smooth. The party food selection should also include hot and cold choices. t # - CANADIAN COFFEE 314 oz. Leroux Crane de Cafe or Leroux Cafe Amaretto Li - 3/4 oz.

Either plain or chocolate ice cold milk is a delicious refresher. For a special treat, make a milkshake. Blend mill[ with any flavor of ice cream, or make a fruit milkshake with On- tario canned fruit and vanilla ice cream. Eggnog is a traditional favorite during the holidays. Choose ready-made, or make some with plenty of milk, cream and eggs. Chilled Ontario fruit and vegetable juices are also good thirst -quenchers. Look for pure juice to be sure of the best product. Both apple and grape have natural sweetness. For a bubbly fruit drink, add sparkling water to the juice; for a frothy drink, blend vanilla ice cream with the juice. Tomato and vegetable cocktail juices are tasty served alone, or spiced up with a touch of Tabasco or Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. For a warm drink, mix together tomato juice or vegetable cocktail with some bouillon or con- somme; heat and serve. Remember to keep plenty of delicious Ontario milk, juices and sparkling water on hand for your holiday guests.

Report by (3eoge Ashe, MPP Durham West The holiday season is the time for family and friends to gather and share the joys and traditions of Christmas. It is also a time of year when we should all be a little more aware of the safety of our loved ones and our homes. There are many simple things we can all do to make sure the holiday season passes safely. For instance, looking at the Christmas tree - it should be a fresh tree. How do you tell? Bend one of the branches. If it spnngs back, it is fresh. If it snaps, it is too dry. Or, bounce the tree on the ground once or twice. If a lot of needles fall off, it's too dry. When you cut the bottom two inches df the trunk, cut on a diagonal. The greater amount of surface exposed that way Will allow the tree to take up more water. Also, make sure your Christmas tree stand is stable and secure, and has a good water reservoir. Make sure the lights are CSA approved, and are not touching any combustible material. As well, the tree should not be near a fireplace or stove, nor should it block an exit. It should be placed well away from any heat outlet in the room such as a duct or radiator, to keep it from drying out. On Christmas Day, when all the wrappings are discarded, don't throw them in the fireplace or stove. The paper will barn with a very intense heat, and if there is a creosote buildup in the chimney, a chimney -fire might be the result. The fire department stresses the use of smoke detectors. Most fire deaths are caused by asphyxiation from smoke. And, because most fires occur at night when people are asleep they never get the chance to get out. A smoke detec- tor will warn you and your family while there is still time. Of course, the most obvious precaution of all is not to mix drinking and driving. If cab fare home seems expensive, compare it with the cost of a fine, a jail term or even an ac- cident. Suddenly, the $10 or $15 doesn't seem so high. Another thing to keep in mind for winter holidays is mak- ing sure your car is properly equipped for winter driving. First, it should be in good mechanical condition. Start the winter df with a thorough tune-up and maintain it. Your supplies of anti -freeze and windshield washer fluid should be kept topped up too. A shovel and container of sand are also wise things to put in your trunk in case you get stuck in the snow. You should always have protective clothing in the car in case of a breakdown. A heavy coat, gloves and a hat are things you will need. And, for the times you may go out with only dress shoes on your feet, a pair of old boots may come in very handy. The police department points out that home security is very important. Criminals increase their activities around this time of year, but there are ways to protect yourself. Always lock your door when you go out - even if it is just to your neighbours' for half an hour. It takes a thief only five or ten minutes to go through your home. If you go away, don't advertise the fact with an open garage door or a pile of newspapers and mail. Have a neighbour or friend pick up your papers and keep the snow cleared df your walk and steps. If you're away or out, leave a radio on, especially if you live in an apartment. A timer switch to turn lights on and off might be a good investment, too. There are many ways you can make your home more secure, and if You pie the Durham Regional Police Com- munity Services Branch, they can advise you on the best steps to take. Often, Christmas means visitors - family and friends with small children. This is a good time to think of putting harm- ful substances out of their reach. Many everyday cleaning products chs can be deadly if consurned. When you're shopping for toys for small children, make sure the toy is safe. Check that any attached parts can't be easily pulled off. Toddlers have a habit of putting absolutely everything into their mouths, and a small piece could cause choking or suffocation. Avoid toys with long strings or coeds a small child could become entangled in when alone, and pay attention to the 'recommended age' labelling - it is a good guide for what is safe for young children. t�:...:��::.................. - Tips On HowTo Decora te And Sa ve EnergyWhether you are planning a major redecorating d cozy groups away from registers, cold air returns fee If cosyfeeling. isn't ap- �3' quickly, to and can rob heat two to three times double AthicknessOI d glass.

Free Advice For Small Businesses Ontario Industry and Tourism Minister Larry Grossman has announcer) plans for a new government approach to assisting small businesses throughout the province. The new approach, to be tried first in the Niagara region, involves dispatching teams of small-business consultants from Queen's Park to talk with business people in their own communities. In the past, the ministry has provided small-business assistance by holding general -information seminars throughout the province. The new initiative will enable the small-business person to privately discuss his own per- sonal, specific business problems. Mr. Grossman said if the concept is successful in Niagara it will be considered for other areas of Ontario., ' There are about 240,000 small businesses in the province accounting for about 97% of all Ontario businesses and representing about 40% of our total employment," Mr. Grossman said. .,The world really isn't any worse than it ever was. It's just that the news coverage is much better." ... Anonymous Report From Ottawa by Scott Fennell, MP Ontario Riding Christmas 1981 is upon us and, as usual, it seems to have crept up without fair warning. We've all been busy with shopping and end -of -the -year activities and it will be good to spend some quiet time with our families. I'm particularly looking forward to spending some more time in the riding after the last few hectic months in Ot- tawa. I know that this is not going to be the most financially secure of Christmases for many of my constituents. I wish there was more I could do on your behalf in the House of Commons, but the government has not been making the economy its number one priority. We in the opposition are permitted to respond to government policy but are rarely able to reorder the government's agenda. I feel especially badly for young families suffering under high mortgage rates. That problem, together with inflation and new taxes, can understandingly foster a bitter and angry outlook. It's not much but all I can say is: Hang in there. Our economy can't be neglected much longer and I think the government is beginning to recognize this. The fact that portions of the new budget were revoked is a hopeful sign. Maybe there'll be some open-mindedness in Ottawa in the new year. In any event, Christmas, unlike economic conditions, can be counted on. I hope that all my constituents, regardless of their financial circumstances, will be able to tap the true spirit of Christmas and retain it during the next year.
