Is there a correlation between the color of a roasted cof- fee bean and its flavor? A.B. A. Yes, there is. When a coffee bean is roasted, its flavor will be determined partly by how long it is subjected to the roasting. The longer the bean is roasted, the darker it turn. Its flavor becomes less acidic and sour and more tangy and bittersweet. The bittersweet taste is the result of the burn- ing of the outer coat of the bean. The longer the roasting, the more tangy the bittersweet flavor. There is some evidence that indicates that the caffeine content is less in the darker roasts. Q. How are rubber bands made? R.H. A. Rubber bands are made by mixing raw rubber with pigments for color and chemicals for strength. This mix- ture, called compound rubber, is fed into an extruder which works something like a meat grinder. The rubber com- pound is fed in at one end, ground and kneaded in the machine, and forced out an opening which forms it into a long tube. The tube is then cut into 7 to 10 foot lengths. Rubber at this stage is soft asnd sticky and will not keep its shape. It needs to be vulcanized or cooked to make it strong, so the tubes are put on long metal rods and hung in- side a boiler and steamed. After 20 minutes the tubes are taken out and automatically cut into rubber bands that can be anywhere from 1/ 16 inch to 1 inch wide.

May 20, 1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Freedom Of Speech by Bob Watson The uproar about the words of Scarborough School Trustee David Horrox concerning Mahatma Gandhi is becoming just a bit ridiculous. As we understand it at the time the school trustees were discussing the possible names for new schools and the name of Mahatma came up. Mr. Horrox said he didn't agree with a non -Canadian name be- ing used - and then expounded on why he didn't like Mahat- ma Gandhi. So 10.000 East Indians ( or are they Canadians of East In- dian origin?) have paraded in downtown Toronto to protest "bigotry and racism" and the so-called "Peace Rally" ask- ed for "global solidarity". For those of us, who have been fortunate enough to be Canadians for many generations, we find this outbreak of emotion quite surprising by a group which appears to in- clude many newcomers to our land. We Canadians are used to passing insults - if we feel like it - about past or present politicians and no Canadian would hold a "Peace Rally" if an East Indian commented unfavourable on Sir John A. Macdonald, or Queen Elizabeth. We might think poorly of that person making the rotten comment, but we certainly would not organize a rally and threaten to go to the highest court in the land to achieve some miscellaneous justifica- tion. This event brings once again to the fore the wrong in our government playing up "multiculturalism" before '•Cana- dianism". If we are going to build a strong country with a great spirit and feeling, it has to have a common thread called "Canadianism and multiculturalism must be se- cond to that, in our opinion. After all, this is Canada and the prejudices of another land should, we believe, be left back in that land and not brought to us here. Most Canadians we have talked to agree with this concept of a nationality. However, if you have an opinion, why not write us and tell us. Dant let the minority alwaysget its word into print while you sit and argue with yourself Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, We came to Canada as our chosen land because we believe in the Canadian system - a system that protects human rights and fundamental freedoms, a system that promotes Multi-cultiuralism - that every culture must be respected and its heritage is encouraged to be nourished. We also believe that the education policy from Ontario government that among other things, the education system should help to develop a feeling of self-worth and should develop esteem for the customs, cultures and beliefs of a wide variety of societal groups In a world of woe and human injustice, there were few leaders w -ho emerged to change the history for the better. Mahatma Ghandi is the one for India and for the world to admire. He has gained tremerdo s respect from his fellow countrymen as well as earned international esteem for his doctrine of non-violence to achieve political and social justice. Ghandi will be remembered forever by us and by our children. While the Scarborough Board of Education is to develop an education policy on anti -racism and multiculturalism, Trustee Horrox remarks about Ghandi is ill-advised. demonstrated a lack of tolerance and respect for other cultures, and incongruent to the true spirit of multiculturalism. The Scarborough Board of Education should condemn and not tolerate any expression of racial or cultural bias in any form by its students, administration, staff and trustees. In that respect. as policv makers, trustees must also set a good example to all. I feel that Trustee Horrox owes the Indian Community, and indeed all communities in Scarborough an apology.

When a business has trained at least half of its staff, it can display the new hospitality slogan. "We'll make you feel incredible" is the slogan's promise. Wherever it is displayed, you, and our visitors, can be assured of superior ser- vice. It's this service and the friendliness of Ontarians that determine whether our 30 million annual visitors will be back. And consider- ing that visitors spend more than $8 billion every year in Ontario, it's impor- tant that they feel welcome.

The only other contender to the position, Diana Dick, withdrew from the race just before the deadline for nomination papers to be filed over a week ago. With Faubert's nomina- tion, the campaign in Scar- borough Ellesmere pro- mises to be interesting. The riding is currently held by NDP David Warner, who was recently nominated to try for another term. Running so far for the tones in this swing riding - it has been fluctuating in recent years between the NDP and the Tories - are ward ,5 public school trustee Gail Brewer and long-time party worker Sack Dudley.

Tic Tac Toe. Wed. May 20, 1887 THE NEWS/POST Page S Not Facing Maintenance Crisis by Gay Abbate Scarborough schools are not facing a maintenance crises contrary to the con- clusions of a recent report says Scarborough Trustee Pat Collie. Collie says the report was prepared hurriedly and its figures and conclu- sions are therefore suspect. Scarborough schools are not facing the same finan- cial crunch as schools elsewhere in Metro because the Scarborough Board of Education spends most of what it receives for maintenance and repairs on maintenance and repairs, Collie said. According to the report prepared by staff from all six school boards for the Metro Toronto School Board, Metro schools are rapidly deteriorating part- ly because of old age and partly because not enough Roney is being spent on their maintenance. It concludes that last year $102 million should have been spent on maintenance and repair in- stead of the $71 million which was actually spent. By 1991 the amount needed to bring schools up to stan- dard is a whopping $111 million. The report states that 69% of all Metro schools and half of the 569 por- tables in use are over 20 years old. In Scarborough _549 of all schools were built prior to 1967. Because of the age of the schools and because some preventative maintenance has been put off due to lack of funds, emergency repairs are occ ring more often and are eating up a large chunk of the maintenance budget. The report recommends that all monies allocated by the Metro Board for maintenance be used by the local boards for that This has not been the case in North York where the board last year diverted some $6 million in- tended for maintenance and repairs to other uses. Toronto diverted almost $4 million while Scarborough only $920,000 although it ended the calendar year with a surplus of over $3 million.

Torontonians will give it their custom, of course, but we suggest that the chief support will be from out-of- towners. There are no more than a half dozen of such clubs in North America and no other. to our knowledge in the rest of Canada. It's not a drag club though drag is its principal thrust. (We think there's something vaguely Freu- dian in that statement but it escapes us. . and pro- bably just as well.) It's rather much a la mode of the much lamented Bellevue Casino in Mon- treal but much glitzier and infunitely more fun. La Cage is situated on Yonge St. just opposite the Eaton Centre and above a Taco Bell on the premises of the old Nickelodeon. In fact, the doorway frau the street still has, as of this writing. the splendid tackiness of The Nick. Once inside. however, the carpeted stairs up are scattered with glitter and pink feathers .. shocking pink, no foolin'. The main room has been nicely refurbished and risers put in place for bet- ter vision of the illuminated runway stage. There are still a few thin support pillars - a city ordinance re- quiranent one supposes - and the view from a significantly few tables can be chancy but that shouldn't deter one's custom. La Cage is fully licensed and the food - it's a dinner theatre - well prepared and served. On opening night our companion chose the roast sirloin of beef, English cut, garnished with mushroom caps bernaise. It was tender and tasty, the accompanying vegetables were snapping fresh. We opted for supreme of chicken. Madras style and were almost inordinately pleased with the tender tex- ture and the delicate seasoning in the curry sauce with tropical fruits. Both of us enjoyed the VS opening Gulf shrimp cocktail and the House White was all that a dinner wine should be .. light but aware. The show itself? It runs a little over an hour depen- ding how tightly it is paced and is just about the fastest hour one can imagine. Helped along by the quick wit and practised ease of Mistress or Master of Ceremonies, Kenny Sacha, it is virtually non-stop. It is not given over com- pletely to female imper- sonators but they are arguably the most en- joyable of all the enter- tainers. The sound system has been cranked up and the performers lip synch to the music but it really doesn't matter. What matters is that the music is all good and lively and some of the impersonations almost breathtaking in their realism. Christopher Morley does Marilyn Maude and you must believe us friends when we say that his'her fust appearance on stage is almost frightening. rather like watching someone you only thought was dead. We understand that he also im- personates Judy Garland and Ann -Margaret - There is a beautiful send up of Hello Dolly as sung by Carol Channing. Pearl Bailey and Barbra Strei- sand. The interpolation of their respective musical scares is brilliant in its in- tricacy and the antics of the three principals hilarious. Toward the end of the show "Miss Channing" sings "What Makes A Man" in the voice of Charles Aznavour and puts the entire show in its pro- per perspective .. a show where one goes to have fun and forget the cares of life for a brief while. We ap- plaud the choice of Charles A—vour's voice as well: to have used the original voice of Larry Paulette might have been just a bit too much. You can't say that An Evening at La Cage is too much. Fact is, after just a single evening. one wants more.

You can't say that the Imperial Room isn't mixing its acts! IN PRC1"i: British Prime Minister Thatcner's office recently released the news that the late Sir Maurice Oldfield, head of M16 spy service from 1973 through 1978, was a homosexual. The revelation probably didn't mean that much to many; except those who knew he was the inspira- tion for John LeCarre's George Smiley. We don't know how we missed Smiley's People in its original publication but are heartily glad we caught up with it recently in a Pan softcover. Frankly, we care not a whit who was the inspira- tion for George Smiley. We know only that the books abort him are just first rate and rather much like sophisticated James Band stories. Fleming might perhaps have had more practical experience of es- pionage than LeCarre - we will never know in the lat- ter's lifetime - but he didn't write with the cool preci- The Butler Did It Stage Door Theatre winds up its 1996'87 season with "The Butler Did It", a comedy thriller by Walter Marks and Peter Marks.

Smiley's People might well be considered ultimate Smiley in as much as he finally triumphs over Karla and yet does so more in the manner of an absented -minded school master than that of a master spy. This is a cracking good spy story and if you missed it the fust time 'round, don't do so now. Triumph of another sort is found in "Footfall" (Ballantine: Del Rey) by Larry Niven and Jerry Potimelle. This is science fiction with a familiar theme but treated better we believe than ever before. Earth has been invaded and partially destroyed by creatures from outer space, creatures of eiephantme bodies and the sentience of the herd. The denouement, which we have no intention of reveal- ing, is good old-fashioned, slam bung action but the result canes about through the failure of the aliens to understand the culture of their enemy. Have we teased you? We hope so because "Footfall" is a fine piece of SF; a tad overblown perhaps but ge- nuinely satisfying. Mark Twain at His Best ( Doubleday) is not we believe the best of the master but it shoorasell beats much that is being written today. Much of the content was written later in Mr. Twain's life and much of it is little known: for, we suggest. good reason. It remains, however, that he had a fine. easy way with words and all that he wrote was eminently readable. Mark Twain at His Best would make a fine gift for those jading readers on your gift list.

Driven by a boom in construction, in small business start-ups and in job creation, Ontario's economic engine continues to drive the Canadian economy. The economic buoyancy experienced in Ontario, however, does not extend across the country. In an effort to reach out and build bridges to the rest of Canada, Ontario's presence was felt in both Alberta and Quebec recently. WED. MAY 20. 1966 SAT. MAY 23 A.M.

Stressing the fact that the things that unite us are far greater than the things that divide us, Premier Peterson discussed two long-term issues of national importance - trade and energy. As Premier Peterson said in Edmonton, "Both of us de- pend on the energy industry.. Ontario as a consumer and a supplier of equipment and steel; Alberta as Canada's leading oil and gas producer." He also said Ontario is working to buy more western coal, an issue that has been a source of friction between east and west in the past. By 1992, western Canadian supplies will make up 50 percent of Ontario Hydro's annual coal pur- chases. As well, Premier Peterson pointed out that any free trade agreement between Canada and the United States must provide benefits to all regions of Canada, otherwise a deal with the Americans is not worth the cost. Ontario Office in Quebec In a bid to strengthen relations between Canada's two largest provinces, the Ontario Government officially open- ed an office in Quebec City. Ontario's special envoy to both the provincial and federal governments in Quebec is Don Stevenson, a farmer deputy minister of intergovernmental affairs. The new office will promote the image of Ontario and pro- vide information on this province's laws, business con- tracts. income tax and French language services.

Mr. Bradley said the U.S. government was quick to act on acid rain when it was its own Southwest getting "wet". The United States promptly negotiated a deal with Mexico to stop its copper smelter from spewing acid rain on the U.S. Southwest. As Mr. Bradley said for Ontario and Canada, "We will not accept double standards." Ontario is providing the leadership on this issue through our Countdown Acid Rain program. By 1994, Ontario's overall acid gas pollution will be reduced by 60 percent, as a result of this initiative. CMOFSCARBOROUGH PROCLAMATION PUBLIC WORKS WEEK May 17th - May 23rd, 1987 WHEREAS ...

We wish them much success and will look forward to them bringing bane the gold. Have a good summer and we will see you in the fall "On The Lanes". Pressure Groups Shouldn't Get Tax Dollars COLIN BROWN The federal government has been caught displaying a double standard in doling out grants to special interest groups. On the one hand, the federal government recently refused to provide funding to REALwomen of Canada, a conservative, pro -family group, because it supposedly promotes goals which do not reflect government policy. On the other hand, however, the federal government gives millions of tax dollars each year to left-leaning organizations which oppose the government's defence and foreign policies. For example, the federal government, which supports a stronger defence and the testing of the cruise missile, gives millions of dollars annually to "peace" groups which support making Canada a "nuclear weapons free zone' and oppose testing the cruise. Leftist feminist organizations fare even better with federal hand-outs. The same government which says it is committed to fiscal restraint gives away millions of dollars each year to groups like the National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC). a left-wing feminist group. NAC lobbies fiercely for such costly programs as universal, government - funded daycare, which could cost the taxpayer 511.3 billion annually by the year 2001. NAC's other policy positions set it in opposition to the federal government. NAC opposes the right to own private property, the testing of the cruor—missile and supports declaring Canada a "nuclear weapons free zone". Unions, which have annual revenues exceeding $1.5 billion, also receive generous government grants. The Department of Labour. for DAVID SOMERVILLE instance, gives unions $5 million a year to teach them how to organize. These same unions vigorously oppose the federal government in the areas of freer trade, deregulation and privatization. Ironically, the government persists in using taxpayers' dollars to subsidize its vocal and effective political opposition while denying support to groups most likely to support the government. Most of these special interest groups claim broad public support for their positions. If that is so, however, they should not be forcing Canadians, through taxation, to support their work. It's not fair to require taxpayers to finance groups which oppose the policies of the government the taxpayers have duly elected. In fact, a strong argument can be made against requiring taxpayers even to finance groups which support government policy. After all, they are already paying taxes to support the government's policies. Why pay twice? Denying government funds to all special interest groups would help to reduce the federal government's annual deficit, which now stands at about $32 billion, or about $5,000 per family of four on average. It's time our government gave up playing favourites with our tax dollars and encouraged special interest groups to (mance their activities with voluntary contributions. It would be good for taxpayers and good for the political integrity of our Society.

Spring Into Bike Safety With the advent of spring and warmer weather, old and young enthusiasts will be thinking of getting out their bicycles. The Ontario Safety League offers a few tips to make biking safer and more fun. Ride a bicycle that fits you. The size of your bike affects your balance and ability to reach the steering and braking controls and pedals. You should be able to reach the ground com- fortably with the ball of your foot while sitting upright on the seat. Parents should supervise the selection of a bicycle for a child and periodically inspect the bike to see that it is in good working order, until the child is responsi- ble enough to maintain his or her own safety inspec- tions. Check the tires for wear and tear. Also check the wheel spokes, chain, lights and horn. Make sure the bike is well oiled and tighten any loose nuts and bolts. Check braking ability on both wet and dry surfaces before taking the bike onto also should be in good alignment. If it veers to one side when pushed forward, it is out of line and needs adjustment. No child should be per- mitted to ride on roadways until he or she has mastered all aspects of the bicycle and this mastery has been observed by a parent on the roadway the child will travel. Bicycle skills that must be taught to children include safe starting, the ability to ride in a straight line near the curb, rules about right-of- way, turning corners and rapid stopping. Remember that bicyclists are considered drivers under the law and that traffic rules, signs and signals apply to the cyclist just as they do to the motorist. You're travelling on one of the smallest vehicles on the road and it's not always easy for motorists to see you. High -flying flags are a good idea at any time, and at night you should have lights, reflective tape and reflectors. Wear light- coloured clothing and a the street. Your bicycle helmet. S2 THE HEALTH REPORT Too Much Drinking Damages Heart (Part 3 oal3 parts) Most Canadians are aware of the dangers of ex- cessive drinking — fiver damage, overweight and poor health. Another nega- tive that can be added to this list is lhean damage. Dr. Maurice Hirst. Pro- fessor of Pharmacology, and Toxicology at the University of Western Ontario, has found that severe alcohol in- toxication in rats causes the adrenal gland to release a flood of adrenaline and nor- adrenaline which enlarges and damages the heart. Comments Dr. Hirst, -The effect is ddindely detri- mental since an hurt does not pump blogod efficiently. Also, photo- graphs of the rat heart cells exhibit damage similar to samples obtained from heart attack victims." The implications of Dr. Hirst's study are frightening. His findings indicate individ- uate can damage their hearts by a single bout of heavy drinking. He says, -People who periodically become so- verely intoxicated may dam- age sensitive regions of the heart. Over time. this dam- age may lead to fibrosis of this arra. Repeated bouts of severe intoxication can lead to alcoholic cardiomyo- pathy. a type of congestive hurt failure."

Her teams finished second in OCAA competition in 1985 and again in 1986. Helen was recognized by her peers for her outstan- ding contribution to Centennial's volleyball pro- gram when she was named OCAA and CCAA Caoch of the Year in 1986.

SCHOOL CHOIRS A group of students from the Hawthorne Elementary School Choir in Ottawa spent a few days visiting Fren- chman's Bay School and staying with members of Fren- chman'sBay Choir's families. Altogether it was a delightful opportunity for the Ottawa children to see this part of Ontario and for the Pickering parents to be treated to a musical concert put on by both choirs on Wednesday event at the school. The Hawthorne Choir's repetoire ranged from classical to folk. and a modern mini -operetta - Jonas and the Whale, and a Gilbert & Sullivan pece "'Ibree Little Maids Are We". Our children had a very lively program - a Beatles medley, several folk songs and an assortment of 17 songs called Songfoolery which was great fun to listen to. Both choirs together had practiced a lovely song called .'Flying Free.. which I think was almost everyone's favourite. Well done singers, and Mrs. Justice for a very en- joyable evening.

Nutrition Matters (Produced by Public Health Nutritionists in Metro Toronto and the Regions of Peel and York) 4Le Fat of the Matter Stack up 25 pats of but- ter! That's the amount of fat that the average Cana- dian consumes mes every day - a total of 140 grams. That amounts to 1260 calories (5300 kilojoules) from fat alone! Where does all this fat corse from' Fats and oils contribute 42%, meat, fish and poultry 34% and dairy products 14%. Fat is a part of many of our favourite food com- binations - gravy on meat, sauce on vegetables, dress- ing on a salad. That doughnut or Danish pestry is at least 2096 fat. Chicken fingers, fish sticks and french fries are loaded with the fat in which they are cooked. Yet, everywhere you turn today you are told to eat less fat. A high fat diet is associated with heart disease, some cancers and overweight. Fat - W'bat It Is and What It Does Fat is a nutrient that is found naturally in or added to foods. Fat supplies nine calories per gram while a gram of carbohydrate or protein gives only four calories. Although there are many different kinds of fat and some are thought to be better than others, we need to lower the total amount of fat that we eat. Fat in foods includes visi- ble fats and oils such as butter, margarine, mayon- naise, salad oil and the fat you trim from meat or remove when you skin a chicken. It also refers to the substances that you do not readily think of as fat, such as the white streaks that marble a steak. Nuts, cheeses, avocados, pastries and many conve- nience foods also contain large amounts of hidden fats. A whole avocado con- tains the equivalent of eight pats of butter! With all the bad things you hear about fat, it may surprise you that some fat in the diet is necessary. All body tissues contain fat. It is an essential part of all cell membranes and helps maintain healthy skin. Fat deposits have several im- portant funcions: they serve as reserves of energy for times when the body needs it; they protect vital organs; and they maintain body temperature. Fat can be a source of essential nutrients such as linoleic acid and the fat soluble vitamins A D E and K. Fat adds flavour to food and makes it more pleasurable to the palate. While some most people tine much in their diet. Here Are some Ways To Say No To Fat. Fat creeps into the diet in the least expected places. Making some informed choices can reduce your total fat intake. Do not be fooled by the new wave of "light" foods. The use of the term "lite" - regardless of its spelling - does not mean that the pro- duct is low in fat or even in calories. "Light" can refer to colour, texture, taste, sugar content or just about anything. When this word is used, the manufacturer must describe what it refers to on the product package. Don't just look at the picture - read the label. Fat comes in many disguises. You cannot guess the fat content of a food by how it looks. Those dry per, non-dairy coffee whiteners are 50% fat by weight and liquid non-dairy products are 2096 fat. Coffee cream is not much better at 18% fat. Reduce fat by using whole milk with 3.5% fat, 2% milk, or better yet, skim milk with only 0.1% fat. Granola cereals my not look it - but they are 24% fat. Plain whole grain cereals are usually low in fat. Likewise croissants, Danish pastries and doughnuts are at least 20% fat. Try bran or oatmeal muffins instead. Be aware of hidden fat. Those ready-made conve- nience items you beat in the oven or microwave may not seem "fatty" - but they are. Chicken fingers or nuggets are 13 to 19% fat. Frozen battered fish, fish sticks and frozen french fries contain lots of fat. If you enjoy eating these foods - you still can, just use them less frequent- ly. You do not have to cut them out - just cut them down! Spread it thin. Margarine and butter are both about 80% fat and equally high in calories. Their calorie reduced varieties are only 38% fat because more air and water are whipped into the product. Regardless of which spread you choose, always use as little as possible. Choose lower fat dairy products. Take a container Report from Queen's Park By George Ashe, MPP Durham West ..... .............. GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION NO GUARANTEE The Liberal's April 23 announcement of a "cap' on autozlobile insurance rates, and subsequent legislation in- troduced May 14, is a charade. Ontario consumers are confused by the Minister's an- nouncement. Under the Minister's new system, automobile insurance rates will continue to increase - cap or no cap. In January, Kwinter defended increased automobile in- surance rates. He told the House that "insurance com- panies still pay out more in claims than they take in on premiums„ • this, by the way, has been generally true the past couple of The Uberal's,� my view, have not been on top of this issue, and have dragged their feet in taking any action to reduce automobile insurance rates. As early as November 1985, we were asking David Peter- son to meet with consumers concerned about sky-rockettmg insurance rates. A year and a half later we are presentd with a plan that will not stem the rate increases. It just so happens that "board" -company increases for the year are set in February. Therefore, the "cap" means nothing for 1987 because the new rates were established prior to April 23. What a meaningless, sick joke to play on consumers. More another day. Congratulatioes to the members of the Whitby Downtown Business Improvement Area. The Whitby B.I.A. won a 1967 Pride Award for its outstanding Twelve Days of Christmas" promotion. Well done! What do you think of a candidate, not elected, not a member of the Government, making announcements on behalf of a Minister r•e�arding the awarding of tenders to spend your tax dollars . This is happening. That is really trying to buy your rote with your money. Speaking To You Scott ftmd M.P. �.. Onts�ioag Two weeks ago an historic event took place at Meech Lake. Que. ; an event which all Canadians will remember as the unification of their country. After much consultation and debate, Prinz Minister Mulroney announced that an agreement in principle had been reached on key constitu- tional issues with the ten provincial Premiers. It will be a day that I will remember vividly in years to canoe. So many people I talked to that day all reiterated the same feeling I had myself .. "Now I truly feel Canadian; I am prod of my country and my heritage. I believe that the Prime Minister summarized this achievement best when he quoted the words of Sir Wilfred Laurier, who said, "the governing motive of ; i -y life has been to harmonize the diverse elements which compose our country. .. The Prime Minister and the Premiers have agreed that their officials will begin to draft a constitutional text which reflects the Meech Lake agreement, and a conference will be convened within weeks to seek a formal agreement. Once this agreement has been reached, the constitutional amending formula will proceed, with an amending resolu- tion tabled in Parliamnent and in the Legislatures of each province. A final proclamation will follow as soon as the resolutions have been approved. This agreement is goad for Canada and good for Cana- dians as a whole. It enhances the Confederation bargain and strengthens the federal nature of Canada. We have solved our differences; differences which had been left outstanding since the signing of the constitution in 1981. We can now turn our attention to other matters, we no longer have nagging thoughts wondering about the future. Together we are stronger, and together we will achieve even greater strides for all Canadians. of yoghurt. Look for the let- ters MF (milk fat) or BF (butter fat) on the label. MF and BF refer to the same thing - the fat content of a dairy product. The number with the letters refers to the amount of fat by weight. Survey the shelves in the grocery store and choose the lowest fat containing product. Here are some low fat dairy pro- duct substitutions you can make.
