Christmas Spirit
The spirit of Christmas has been strong this year as many
people have participated in food sharing• clothing sharing
and even money sharing with those who are desperate and
short of the necessities for a Christmas of good cheer.
There are mann people in this region who are poorly off
due to their own inadequacies• but others have had tragedy
hit them and laid them low. It is especially these folks who,
we hope. have benefitted from the agencies dedicated to
assisting others. Certainly there is no better feeling for a
human being than to receive that special warmth back
from assisting another person in his or her difficulties.
There are many problems in society today, but we hap-
pen to live on the best piece of real estate in the whole world
and we should give thanks that we are so fortunate. in other
parts of the world conditions are not so good. There are
wars and economic crises in so many countries and hate
fills the minds of many.
Christmas comes at a very convenient time each year
because it gives us renewed hope just prior to terrible
weather and low economic activity. Let us pray that the
spirit of Christmas will remain with us throughout the
whole year not just for one day.

Dear Tonv Carlson:

Am I misguided to feel resentment at the unfairness of

"Men's" jobs with lower educational qualifications, with

organizational and mental skills are paid at a higher wage
rate than more skilled "women's" jobs with higher educa-
tional qualifications and more responsibility.

Bob's Notes
Patients Have Rights
Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Larry
Grossman has released a discussion paper that urges a new
approach to the protection of patients' rights and improved
public participation in our health care system."
Specifically, Bill of Rights legislated to cover all health-
care consumers. Subsections of the Bill should deal with
special circumstances of the elderly in long-term care
facilities and with the mentally ill in psychiatric facilities.
The Ontario Psychiatric Patient Advocate Program should
be broadened and transformed into an independent and
more comprehensive Patient Advocate Office that would
assist, and in some cases represent, the general public.
residents of nursing homes and homes for the aged, and
people in Homes for Special Care and psychiatric hospital
units. and the existing Health Disciplines Board should be
transformed into a Health Care Complaints Commission --
reporting to the Legislature - with the jurisdiction to hear
appeals from all existing and proposed complaints
tribunals.
$155,550 For Restoration
One of Ontario's first francophone parishes has received
$155.000 to restore its 19th century church. The Community
Facilities Improvement Program tCFIPI grant was
awarded to the Cocath6drale de la Nativitk de la
Bienheureuse Vierge Marie in Cornwall's east end to help
pay the estimated $500.000 cost of the restoration project.
War amps Seeks injunction
Response to a new book which questions the basis of a Na-
tional Film Board production expressing doubt about the
exploits of Billy Bishop, World War I flying ace, has been

The book is published as a public service by The War

"Hanging A Legend.. and is a digest of information
challenging the basis of the NFB film entitled "The Kid
Who Couldn't Miss", released originally in 1982 and re-
released last year. The Year Amps decided to raise funds
through corporate donations and publish the book as a
means of placing before Canadians the facts surrounding

Property Rights
"It's a major step forward and is a strong signal to Cana-

Postal whitewash
sticks in the craw
By Tony Carlson
Welcome to Mushroomland,
Mr. and Mrs. Postal Consumer.
As you may know, in this
land, the Powers That Be de-
light in keeping you in the dark.
But it's not all bad, because
every so often they shovel some
more manure on top of you.
Usually it comes in the form of
a rate increase for postage.
This time around there's a
Christmas bonus—a slap in the
face administered by a govern-
ment which just a few weeks
ago was crowing about the
democratic process as it set up
a parliamentary committee to
review the rate hike proposals.
That brief moment of light
was quickly extinguished when
the committee abruptly ended
its hearings.
How successful was the work
of this committee? Well, they
hard only post office witnesses,
despite repeated requests from
business and consumer groups
to testify.
(Those of us new to Mush-
roonnland must get used to this
dea that hearing one side of the
story is quite enough.)
The committee also was
never given Canada Post's en-
tire rate schedule, and appar-
emly never demanded to see it.
They put on their blinkers,
looking only at the proposed
hike from 34 cents to 36 cents
for a first-class letter.
Were they concerned that
maybe races for pained post, for
admail or any of the other ser-
vices might have an impact?
After all, the last increases were
only two cents for first class,
but 200 per cent and more for
other services.
Does the public care about
that? According to our MPs,
apparently not, although they
didn't think it important to ask
Do You Know The Answers anyone.

Doubtless when we finally get
to the head of the line in the
post office and find we have to
pull out the chequebook to mail
a box of cookies.
The Canadian Federation of
Independent Business was out-
raged at the committee's timing
and tactics.
"The Canadian public has
been hammered by postal abuse
from all sides for too long,"
said CFIB Vice -President Jim
Bennett. "This government,
through the committee, had the
opportunity to reverse that
trend. Instead it is only petpetu-
ating the policy of abuse.
"This is an insult to the
Canadian postal consumer and
a clear signal that there is vir-
tually no trust in government's
role in postal matters."
Of course, if you're a fan of
stonewalling, obfuscation,
shams, con jobs—call it what
you will—then the parliamen-
tary committee was a roari�
succe"A.
Canada Post got what it
wanted: the government,
through nifty tinting, diffused
any criticism. thus getting what
it wanted.
Cosy, eh?
Only the mushrooms are still
in the dark and can be excused
for feeling that, once again,
when it canes to the price of
stamps. they've been licked.
And a Merry Christmas to
you, too, O Powers That Be.
But it ain't over till it's over.
The rate increases, all of them,
must be published in the Cana-
da Gazette, after which Mr. and
Mrs. Consumer have 60 days to
object.
If they do so loudly enough,
it may yet be a happy New Year.

Get The Good News About
Snow At Kortright Centre
Here's an updated
weather forecast for this
winter: it's going to snow.
If that sounds depressing
(not to say obvious I . cheer
up. There's more to snow
than meets the eye - and
snow gives you the oppor-
tunity to have a lot of fun.

Wander. presented Satur-
days and Sundays. Jan.
3-25. 1 p.m., at the Kor-
tright Centre for Conserva-
tion, Kleinburg.
Participants in the pro-
gram discover that there
are seven types of snow
crystals, which they iden-
tify by using "snow cat-
chers". Children make
their own replicas of snow
crystals and build a snow
slwlter, if there's enough
snow.
The program includes a
short nature walk with a
Kortright naturalist into
the Humber Valley. where
the group tests the in-
sulating qualities of snow.
The group buries "jeliv
babies" I shall bags of Jeli-
OI in the snow, but leaves
one jelly baby on top of
snow.
A few minutes later, the
exposed jelly baby is
frozen, while the others are
not. Likewise, a wide varie-
ty of wildlife use snow for
protection from freezing
temperatures. Mice spend
the entire winter under the
snow cover.
After the one-hour Snow
Wonder program, Kor-
tright visitors can take
another look at snow - on
cross-country skis. The
Kortright Centre has 12
kilometres of groomed
trails over a variety of ter-
rain. The trail fees include
admission to the Centre
and its programs.
The Kortright Centre is
open daily, to a.m. to 4 p.m.
It is located just north of
Metro Toronto, on Pine
Valley Dr.. south of Major
Mackenzie Dr. west of

300,000
Long
Distance
Calls
Almost 300,000 operator -
handled long distance calls
are expected to be made
Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day in the
Metro Toronto area.
During the same two
days five times as many
yuletide greetings to
relatives and friends,
1,500,000 calls, will be plac-
ed by direct distance dial-
ing (DDD), Bell Canada
says. This is because DDD
is the fastest and cheapest
method to call long
distance.
Some 245 operators will
be on duty in the Metro
Toronto area on Christmas
day, compared with 168
operators who handle calls
each Sunday, normally the
busiest day of the week for
long distance calls.
Christmas day calling
placed across Canada will
be in the vicinity of
6,000.000, all but half a
million direct dialed.
In Toronto. thousands of
calls will be made to more
than 100 overseas loca-
bons, with the vast majori-
ty of these countries
available via DDD.
Teleglobe Canada,
responsible for overseas
facilities. says there are
more than 8,000 lines
available in Toronto.
Heaviest volume of these
calls will be to such Euro-
pean locations as the
United Kingdom, Germany
and Italy. Callers should
keep in mind the time dif-
ference between Ontario
and the overseas country.
The 300,000 operator -
handled estimate for Dec.
24 and 25 in Toronto is
about 15,000 more than the
calls placed during these
two days a year ago.
New Year's Eve and New
Year's Day are close
behind In the volume of
operator -handled calls.
Last year the total was
243,000. This year it is ex-
pected to be 265,000.
For the nine days. Dec.
24 to Jan. 1, inclusive,
operators here will assist
about 1.200,000 calls. This
compares with 1,090.000 for
the year-ago period.
Because the Yuletide
season is the busiest pro-
longed period for phone
calling of any time during
the year, circuits may
become overloaded during
peak periods. If there is no

PARSLEY WREATH
2 or 3 bunches of parsley
I bunch radishes
I bunch carrots
I butch celery
1 bunch head broc-
coli; cauliflower
I red bow
I small bowl for dip
Foil wrap or plastic wrap
1. Cut a square of foil wrap
or plastic wrap the size you
wish your wreath to be. It
should be no smaller than
eight inches in diameter.
A 16 -inch round %%Teath
looks really impressive,
but takes more parsley, of
course l . Place the foil or
plastic wrap in the centre
of your serving table.
2. Wash parsley and let
water drain off. Arrange
parsley in a 'donut' shape
on the wrap. It will look like
a Christmas wreath.
3. At the bottom place a red
bow (make your own from
a length of red ribbon, or
use Christmas gift
decorator bow).
4. Wash and prepare fresh
vegetables. Make radish
fans or roses, carrot coins
cut on the diagonal, celery
sticks, and broccoli or
cauliflower flowerettes.
S. Decorate the wreath with
these vegetables.
6. Set a small bowl of dip in
the centre of the wreath.
In all probability there
will be parsley left over
when the party's over.
Keep some in a large jar in
the refrigerator - it will last
two to three weeks.
TUNA DIP

1'2 cup yogurt, plain
One 7-112 oz. tin tuna
114 cup chopped green
onion
2 tsp. lemon juice or

hour before serving.

Respite Care
Gives Parents
A Break
As one mother put it,
you need a break from
any child, disabled or not."
Nevertheless, the cons-
tant and special needs of
the physically disabled can
be especially wearing for
their parents.
Whether in the midst of a
family crisis, or simply in
need of a vacation, the
Bloorview Respite Care
Program is designed to
help parents and guardians
take a 'break' from those

While at Bloorview, the

continue the dud's health
care, -therapy and educa-
tion routines. In many
cases, his stay allows staff
an opportunity to assess or
reassess his treatment
needs, introduce new
therapy and evaluate his
communication system.
Many of those who attend
the program are past
residents of Bloorview who
have old friends here.
Others form new friend-
ships during their stay. For
the child who may one day
become a full-time Bloor-
view resident, the program
may help both he and his
parents prepare for that
change.
As community resources
and services grow and im-
prove, more and more
disabled individuals can be
cared for in their own
home. Respite Care Pro-
grams like Bloorviews will
likely play an increasingly
important role in helping
families cope with the
responsibilities such care
involves. Recognizing this
trend, John Sweeney, On-
tario's Minister of Com-

vices, recently announced
a $1 million expansion of
respite care services.

Festive Set -Ups — From
Splendid ToSimple
It's that time of vear again!
Polish the silver. retrieve the
finest crystal and dust off the
cabin.
The holidays are just around
the corner and that means enter-
taining. Whether it's friends or
family, the key to relaxed at-
home dining and successful en-
tertaining is a well -set table and
elegant, sparkling clean china.
Use a dishwashing detergent
like Cascade, endorsed by the
American Fine China Guild. to
have 'company' china every
time.
For a formal look, a decora-
tive, festive centrepiece using
fresh greenery available in De-
cember like holly or spruce
boughs, along with an elegant
tablecloth, will set the tone for
the evening.
in true traditional style. silver
place settings are generally used
during the holidays. Most set -
imp are five piece. The modem
rule is to set each place with just
the pieces that will be used. For
most occasions that will mean
all of them. unless you arc using
older settings of seven or eight
pwm or more.
Whether you re using five pw-
ces or nine. one old rule applies
to hosts and guests alike. Pieces
are always placed in the order in
which thesil be used, starting
from the outside -- forks on the
left. knives and spoons on the
right, and sometimes dessert
and tea cutlery above the plate.
For plateware, too. just set
places with the china that will be
used. No one expects you to
have 40 place settings of the
family china, it's perfectly all
right to mix different patterns.
For smaller holiday dinner par-
ties. each setting should consist
of dinner plate with soup bowl,
bread and butter plate to the
left, and wine glass(es) to the
right. Salad can be served separ-
ately on its own plate, before or
after the entree.
Keep the menu as uncompli-
cated as possible. particularly if
the guest list is longer than
usual. The natural for the holi-
days is. of course. turkey. cran-
bem sauce, and plum pudding.

Switching to casual entertain-

Buffets are a natural during the
festive season. The key to suc-
cessful buffet service is simphci-

silverware at one end of the
table, food in the order in which
it's eaten, followed by wine and
glasses. If there aren't enough
seats for everyone. a is thought-

require a knife.

Cruises Are So Enjoyable
Most Canadians have not
been on a cruise in the
Caribbean yet, but the idea
is getting more popular and
there are more and more
cruise ships available.
Of course, the ports of
call, the ships and the low
price contributes to the ap-
peal of a cruising holiday
But for many
passengers• both first time
and repeat, it's the idea
that everything is taken
care of that inspires them
to choose a cruise.
Each cruise includes ac-
commodation, meals and
entertainment while on
board the ship as well as
the airfare on most
packages. Aside for spen-
ding on drinks,
photographs by the ship's
photographer and visits
ashore, that original price
is all one pays.
The food served on most
cruise ships is the highlight
of the trip. From early
morning coffee through
midnight buffet, your taste
buds are tempted by a
fabulous array of North
American and interna-
travel
tional cuisine, every day of
your cruise.
A typical t iriner in the
dining room will feature
five causes with a choice
of appetizers, soups,
salads, entrees and
desserts that many
restaurants would envy.
And while familiar
favourites from home are
always available, there are
unusual treats offered in-
cluding comb fritters,
Camarones Al Cilantro
( jumbo shrimp flamed
with cognac theft flavoured
with coriander shallot but-
ter ), ratatouille proven ale
or amaretto mousse cake.
If the appeal of the sun on
deck is greater than the
call of the dining room,
then there is an open air
luncheon buffet available
at pool side every day.
Daily meals include ear-
ly morning coffee, con-
tinental breakfast in your
cabin, if requested, mid-
morning bouillon, luncheon
in the dining room or at the
deck buffet, afternoon tea,
dinner and the midnight
buffet.
Many passengers, fear -
If You -re Going To Drink
Please Don -t Drive
ing the addition of extra
weight• resort to a series of
regular walks around the
decks to walk off those un-
necessary pounds gained
while overwhelttted by the
delicious cuisine.
While packing for your
cruise, Wardair Holidays
suggests that you may
want to tuck a costume in
your bags with your
bathing suit and camera
for the masquerade
parade, one of the diver-
sions aboard ship for enter-
tainment.
There are also movies, a
casino and every evening
some entertainment
besides dancing.
Other activities include
shuffleboard, trap
shooting, daily exercise
classes, bingo and talks,
classes and demonstra-
tions on interesting sub-
jects such as beauty and
hair, gambling, upcoming
excursions. Greek dancing
and magic tricks.
Depending on which
cruise ship you select will
decide which beautiful
Caribbean island or South
American mainland you
will see. The trips ashore
can be very interesting and
informative and a few
hours on Guadeloupe,
Grenada, Curacao, Aruba
or Catagena, Columbia can
be rewarding as well as ad-
ding to the list of countries
that you can say you have
visited.
Say goodbye to the
workaday world and climb
aboard a cruise ship and be
treated like "a somebody"

Homeless Youth Find Spirit
Of Christmas At Covenant House
Thousands of homeless
and runaway young people
will be converging on our
hostels and shelters this
Christmas eve, looking for
a place to keep warm. For
them Dec. 25th will mean
nothing more than one
more day to find something
to eat, and somewhere to
sleep.
This Christmas, Cove-
nant House at 70 Gerrard
St. E. Toronto will make a
difference. Covenant
House Toronto, a short-
term crisis centre for kids
aged 16 to 21, has been tak-
ing in street kids for almost
five years. They've provid-
ed food, shelter, clothing
and counselling to well
over 8,000 young people.
The staff of social
workers, child care
workers and volunteers all
agree: Christmas is the
hardest time of year. "The
kids feel inadequate about
themselves and their
families," explains Paul
Marcoe, a social worker at
Covenant House, ..because
they're not living the fan-
tasy of the typical
Christmas. They're not
home sitting around the
fire with mom, dad,
brothers, sisters and all the
relatives. -
"Around Christmas time
we get kids coming by
whom we haven't seen all
year, kids who've been
here before and have
nowhere else to go. They
come because they know
they can count on certain
guarantees. They know
that Christmas will rat on-
ly be remembered but
celebrated, and they might
even get a present. They
also know that they will get
a caring response and
recognition for themselves
as individuals. That's what
these kids need most - so-
meone to acknowledge that
they exist and that they are
of worth. They get that
here."
Covenant House will be
providing a traditional
Christmas dinner. presents
and a loving and sym-
pathetic shoulder to lean
on. Many of the Christmas
extras that Covenant
House is able to offer are
generously donated by in-
dividuals both in and out of
the Toronto area.
Covenant House is work-
ing hard to get kids off the
streets by helping them to
create a plan for their
future, wbether that in-

Remember The Fire Risk
The cheerful lights of
Christmas bring a special
warmth to the holiday
season, but the lights, the
Christmas tree and the
decorative wrappings pose
a fire risk if not handled
with care.
Fire Safety is very im-
portant in the office, fac-
tory and place of assembly.
Persons are usually assign-
ed to maintain equipment
and monitor health and
;afetc in the work place.
Fire Safety Plan, fire drills
and training sessions are
designed for the benefit of
employe and occupants
of our buildings.
What about your• home
and the members of your
family? Are you prepared
for the Christmas season as
far as Fire Safety is con-
cerned'.
Every Christmas
tragedy strikes
somewhere. The use of
worn or defective electrical
equipment, or in some
cases, sheer carelessness,
causes needles-; fires and
deaths. Before using
Christmas tree lights or
electric decorations, check
all wiring, sockets and
plugs for fraying, cracks or
loose connections.
Report From Ottawa
By Reg Stackhouse
M.P. Scarborough West
Major changes expected in the Canada Pension Plan will
help people retire earlier, have a better chance for a
disability pension, and gain a morejust family share of pen-
sion benefits. As a result of these changes. scheduled for
Jan. 1, 19877, a person can take a Canada Pension at age 60.
It will be a smaller pension than what will be paid if it is not
claimed until later but it will help anyone wishing earlier
retirement.
Disability benefits will be increased and earlier coverage
will be available for new workers and others returning to
the work force. Survivor benefits will not be terminated if
the beneficiary re -marries. Persons, who have had them
discontinued, may re -apply. Maximum combined disability
and survivor benefits will be increased.
Dependent children will be eligible for up to two CPP
benefits if both parents' earnings have been lost through
disability or death. On divorce, pension credits earned dur-
ing their former life together will be divided equally bet-
ween the former spouses. One year after a common law
couple separate, either person may apply for a division of
pension credits earned during their life together.

Christmas Greetings
This is not a time for selling anything other than the Joy
sof Christmas. So in this coluann I will not sell politics, I will
not criticize government and I will not be against anything
(almost).
But it is a time to say what a privilege it is to represent
you and yours at Queen's Park. I appreciate your help, your
.guidance and your support!
All I can promise is to continue to represent you and what
I feel is in the best interest of the province at large and the
Durham area in particular, to the best of my ability.
To you and yours, a Very Happy and Safe Holiday Season.
A Very Merry Christmas
and A Happy New Year
