Dec. 23, 1 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Let's Build It And Call It The Esther Shiner Parkway by Bob Watson The passing of Esther Shiner, North York's leading con- troller and fighter for the extension of the Spadina Ex- pressway, has shocked the whole community. Esther was the kind of politician to whom almost everyone related. Esther spent a large chunk of her life in frustration trying to persuade politicians at Queen's Park that the Spadina Expressway should be built. All polls of public opinion show that people are for the project, but Premier Bill Davis stop- ped it and Premier David Peterson has stated clearly that he won't support the roadway. The road is, however, vital to the proper flow of traffic in Metro Toronto, as well as the Scarborough Expressway and Highway 407, all of which are now 12 years behind schedule if we are to have a mobile society without complete congestion. It is our opinion that to honour the tremendous work of Esther Shiner, Premier David Peterson should give his ap- proval of constructing the Spadina Expressway and re- name it "Esther Shiner Parkway.. in her memory. The road is absolutely needed. Esther was right and this move would vindicate the efforts of a dedicated woman of our society. What Is She Talking About. With reference to "Make Christmas Tree the Focal Point" (The News Dec. 16. Page 10). What is Barbara Huard talking about' "Of course the focal point of any Christmas home decor is the Christmas Tree." I would hope that Ms. Huard is not by saying "any Christmas home decor") this. that the focal point in my home at Christmas, should not be a stable, with wisem�en, Mary. Joseph and the Baby Jesus. I mean to say• the stable was around before the Christmas Thee, right !FIs. Huard' And come to think of it. the baby Jesus did not even get one d "Carlton Cards Olde Fashion Line" products. Merry Christmas Jim Smith 23 Thatcher Ave. Scarbornuo On Driving Habits Dear Sir: I am writing in response to your opinion expressed on Driving Habits (Nov. 25). You state that drivers who stop ten feet back from the white line at a red light look like in- competent drivers. This is not necessarily so. mcourse, I have just cot a defensive driver cose, in- str acted through the Ontario Safety League. In this coursed we founout that drivers who come up from behind your car may not be paying attention and suddenly try to stop at the last second. The ten feet in front of your car may be now utilized to allow• the person from behind more stopping space - If. in case of a collision, you have tin feet in front d you and vow car was knocked forward you would not have to worry as much about pedestrians crossing at the white line. You also don't have as much fear d tieing pushed from behind into the intersection and being rammed by the op- posing traffic. !Many drivers, at the last second, change lanesus because there are fewer cars or buses ahead and are not paying at- tention to the car ahead d them. I know that I am safer with the extra margin d space, than drivers who sit right at or over the white lines at lights. In closing, undoubtedly out oubtedly more drivers should take defen- sive driving courses to find othe real risks involved in driving. Don't forget "defensive driving means driving so as to prevent collisions in spite of the actions d others or the presence d adverse driving conditions." ( page 4 of Canada Safety Council Defensive Driving Program). Sincerely. W. P. Bangay Scarborough Spiritual Needs According to Statistics Canada, in 1981, a total d just over 13 thousand Canadians fulfilled their spiritual needs through affiliations with Native Indian or Inuit religions as well as New -Thought -Unity -Metaphysical, Pagan, Fourth Way, and Theosophical groups. news `"sosf Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt.

Bob's Notes November MLS Market Good Members of the Toronto Real Estate Board have reported 2,889 MLS residential sales in November, reflecting a slowdown in the MIS market that usually occurs this time of the year, Board President John Oliver said recently, "noting that demand for housing was unusually strong last month compared to the summer months." "Although fewer new properties were listed on MIS in November, the total housing inventory increased by slight- ly more than four percent over the previous month," the president said, adding "this has resulted in more stable house prices." In fact, the median house price for November increased less than one percent over the previous month, compared to a monthly increase of 2.3 per- cent in October and 1.8 percent in September, Mr. Oliver said. Home Purchases Slip in Metro Centres Across Canada November marks the seventh month running where year - Over -year residential sales have fallen behind those of a year ago, says The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) . On a percentage basis. the month's 12,864 sales represented a drop d 8.1 percent from the 13,999 home sales recorded in November 1996. ' CREDIT CARD COSTS "Canadian -provincial actions on credit card costs repre- sent one large step by governments but one small step for consumers," Reg Stackhouse, M.P.

Dec. 20th of cancer. She took leave of absence from her council work in May and has been In Toronto General Hospital. The funeral was held on Mon. Dec. 21st at Adath Israel Synagogue. Esther was bom in Toronto and graduated from Harbord Collegiate and the Univer- sity of Toronto. She worked as a lab technician for a short while before marry- ing her husband, Sol. in June 1997. The Shiners have four children, sons Jerry, David and Mark and daughter Barbara and six grandchildren. Esther Shiner's greatest political effort was to get the Spadina Expressway built, but her valiant ef- forts were frustrated by former Premier Bill Davis and current Premier David Peterson isn't giving the idea any help either. It was in 1971 that Esther was elected to North Yat Ca ncil. She managed to get the Spadina Ex- pressway (re -named the Wiliam R. Allen Rd.) ex- tended to Eglinton Ave. but Metro Council voted to stop it there. In 1985 she conducted a poll at Nathan Phillips Square about whether peo- ple wanted the Spadina ex- tended or not and got 338 for and only 132 against. Another poll run by the North York Business Association came up with similar feeling a year later. For the past three municipal elections Esther headed the polls for board Of centrad, which made her senior controller and depu- ty mayor. A keen, community -minded woman, Esther Shiner will be remembered for her determination, her humour and her very down to earth approach to local affairs. North York - and indeed all of Metro Toronto - will miss her.

Local Yout This DWember, 36 Scout Venturers from the Metro area boarded an airplane bound for Australia and the adventure of a lifetime - the 16th World Jamboree. Toronto has contributed four Scout patrols to a Canadian contingent of over 800 young people who are in Australia for the Jamboree Dec. 31 to Jan. 10, 1988. The first-ever Jamboree to be held in the southern hemisphere will be opened at 12 p.m. on New Year's Eve. The opening ceremonies will thus become the official event marking the beginning of Australia's Bicentennial Year, 1968. In all, some 14,000 Scouts from 75 counties are meeting to form a tent city in the 395 acre Jamboree Site at Cataract Park, about 80 km south of Vded, AMC, •: 4'4$ ' � Ir'1 S i P6SFr PaXe % hs Attend Scout Jamboree In Australia ..:.� Sydney. The Canadian contingent is made up of youth ages 14 to 18 from all the provinces and the Northwest Ter- ritories. They are accom- panied by some 175 leaders and other support staff. Each of them has paid a $3,000 fee to attend the Jamboree, part or all of it subsidized through fund raising ventures. Our local young people raised money for their fees with activities ranging from Christmas tree sales to car washes.

Dec. 23. 1987 ............................:-dill Watt's Worlds :........................... IN PRINT: Well, it's the night before the night before Christmas and here are some books recommended for holiday reading or as last minute gifts. If you're lucky enough to be enjoying a pre -holiday quiet moment you'll enjoy reading or re -reading Henry van Dyke's The Story of the Other Wise Man. This much beloved story of the Magi who missed be- ing present at the birth of Christ has been re -issued in a splendid, 12vishly presented yet inexpensive paperback by Ballan- tine, Epiphany. Reading time is under an hour and you'll feel refreshed when you've completed it. As a joke or perhaps for very real reasons you might want to consider The Stressless Home (Ballantine Self -Help) by Robert Bramson. Ph.D. and Susan Bramson. Dr. Bramson is the author of Coping With Difficult Peo- ple which we've reviewed here. Readers with some memory will recall that we were underwhelmed by it and we must say that we are not overly impressed by this later effort. There's really nothing the matter with it you understand; it's simply that we fund it sad that it takes a Ph.D. to write that wfiich most people already know instinctively about how to avoid stress in the home. The pure and simple answer is kindness and consideration. Still. if this little book can prevent even one domestic upset, par- ticularly over the holidays, then we suggest it's well worth attention. Dr. Seuss has been a favourite author for children for more than half a century. His name is so deeply engrained in the public's mind with stories for children that one forgets he has written for adults ... oh yes, and il- lustrated too. His first book for adults was The Seven Lady Godivas, The True Facts Concerning History's Barest Family. It was first published in 1939 and has now been re -issued with careful attention to the detail of the original by Random House. It is not for children though we suspect a good many will want to read it when they see the cover. It will do them no harm but the humour in it will simply be beyond them. No. this is very definitely for adults and we have a feeling it will catch on the way that Winnie -the -Pooh in Latin did some years ago. It's the only book by Dr. Seuss that is not writ- ten in verse ( his other adult book You're Only Old Once! is in verse) and that makes for a smoother nar- rative now. It's gently hilarious and at its conclusion you'll know the "true.. origin of seven proverbs about horses. one for each of the seven Lady Godivas and their companion Toms from the Peeping family. Bill Bernbach's Book ( Willard Books) could be but shouldn't be described as a coffee table book. Cer- tainly it looks like one; it's big. handsome and filled with some incredibly fine photography. It is, however. filled with some fine ung prose by Bob Levenson as he delivers a pleasantly palatable "ifistory of the advertising that changed the history of advertising' Bill B, rnbach was the founder of Doyle Dane Bernbecb and consider by many, your scribe in- cluded, to be a true genius of the advertising world. It was be who developed the advertising campaigns for Chivas Regal. Volkswagen. Levy's Rye Bread, Ohrbach's. Avis (We try harder) Polaroid, Clairol. Uniroyal and so many others including Alka Seltzer (Mamma. mia, at's a spiry meatball I) His advertising pro- grams were clever and hurnourous but not so much so that the original purpose was thwarted: sell the pro- duct.

His good friend Bob Levenson took over the task and, in our view, did credit to his mentor. It's a crackerjack (another of Bernbach's products) to look at and read. And, it's astonishing- ly inexpensive. Obviously we can't state the price but we warrant you'll be sur- prised. And ( just like Bernbach we are unabashedly star- ting sentences with con- junctions) we can't leave this pleasurable book without quoting from one of his advertisements .. I'll be home for Chivas. The Making of the African Queen ( Alfred A. Knopf) is not a book about the middle sex regiment in Africa. It might better be described by its sub -title, How I Went to Africa with Bogart. Bacall and Huston and almost lost my mind. Despite the quirky title you'll have guessed by now that this is a more or less affectionate description of how the motion picture The African Queen was made, written by one of the stars, Katharine Hepburn. It's not a great book - heaven knows Miss Hep- burn is no writer nor does she pretend to be - but it's a pleasant diversion filled with some insights into the lives of performers. Thar are a number of photographs and most of than have not been seen previously. They are in tfaaccit candid snapshots and most interesting. Our greatest pleasure in the book was in having it attested again that despite his sometime screen im- age. Humphrey Bogart was a gentleman and we are not likely to see his like again. Stephen J. Rose is a budget analyst for the Washington State Senate. Deans Livingston is presi- dent of the Baltimore Jobs in Energy Program. Neither of them are household words in Canada, or the U.S. for that matter. but they have col- laborated on a book that we commend to the attention of all North Americans. It's titled The American Economy Paster and Fact Book. The title says it all. The book describes what we do, what we buy, where the money comes from and where taxes go. The text is by Mr. Rose and the art work. including a full col- our centre fold poster is by Dennis Livingston. It seems to us one of the bet- ter expositions of how our neighbour to the south functions economically. The economics of the U.S.A. have always been of interest to Canadian and we suggest even more so now since we will likely be a part of it within the next three decades and perhaps even by the turn of the cen- SSemper paratus!

"Al" and "Ella' the previous occupants of the alligator exhibit, who had been on display since the Zoo opened in 1974. died of old age, "Al" in 1961. and ..Ella" in 1964. At that time, the Zoo was unable to obtain suitable replacements, and the area was converted for the use of brown pelicans.

If he had not been discovered, he would not have survived the winter. Alligators are descended from the dinosaurs, those massive creatures that once ruled the earth, and they still have many of the features which their ancestors had They are cold blooded, and if they encounter a stretch of cold weather in the swamps, rivers, ponds, and marshes of the south eastern U.S. where they make their homes, they will become sluggish and dormant, living off the fat which is stored in their tails. When the Europeans first came to North America, there were millions of alligators in the south eastern United States, but by 1969, the species was almost wiped out due to excessive hunting, and was declared endangered. Now, for- tunately, thanks to strict regulations, the species is no Wager endangered, and is thriving.

[Rernembran,ceiay At Glengrove by B.E. Hedley, Principal Glengrove Public School At times, our school systems are criticized for their ap- parent indifference to Remembrance Day and to those who died for freedom. I would like to believe that this is not the case, and that, while the memories of individual sacrifices may dim as the years pass by, the greater meaning of their heroism lives on in the ceremonies and the poppies and the crosses that are evident in all schools on Nov. 11th. At Glengrove Public School this year, at the suggestion of one of our teachers, Lloyd MacDonald, we have all 700 (K-8) pupils write messages of peace, brotherhood and love, on paper that contained their names, the school ad- dress and phone number. After a parent volunteer had laminated all the messages, each child's message was at- tached to a red or black helium -filled balloon. After our Remembrance Day ceremony in the school, the entire school population assembled on the playground, balloons in hand and sang "Let there be Peace on Earth". At 11:15 a.m. the balloons were released in unison and soared lazily into the clear blue autumn sky. With the morn- ing sun glittering on the suspended laminated messages, we watched our balloons move in a south westerly direction, miles over Lake Ontario. It is difficult to express the feeling of warmth, hope and expectation, that filled our hearts and minds at the moment, but it was there, reflected in the eyes of everyone watching. Our hopes were not in vain. At 4:30 p.m. that day, we received a phone call from Vineland, Ont. that our first message had been received. Next, it was Dunnville, Ont. then North East. Pennsylvania and on and on. Each call or letter contained the same response - What a wonderful idea! Many people talked of their loved ones and friends who had fought in the wars. People called with voices chok- ed with emotion. Each day we would read the names of pupils whose message of love had been found and its loca- tion. A large map in the foyer with coloured pints with str- ings attaching them to copes of the letters received, pin- pointed the orgin of each reply - Angola. New York: Daisy - town, Pennsylvania: Erie, Pennsylvania; Augusta, West Virginia; Beaufort, North Carolina; even Ottawa. Ont_ As of this date, we have beard from 36 people who found our messages and without acception. they were farad by people who care. people who share our pride in country. wfiether theirs or ours. and people who do remember these who died for our freedom. This was an experience that will hve in the hearts of boor those who sent, and those who receivu*d the messages of love. for many years to conte.

Stoner Says Durham West Liberal MPP Norah Stoner says Canada Post's Super - mailbox Program is discriminatory. During debate in the On- tario Legislature on Thurs. Dec. 10th on a resolution calling on the federal government to abandon the Supermailboxes, Mrs. Stoner said there should not be different postal ser - vi munity. She said residents in new urban areas of a municipality pay the same postal rates and taxes as those in older residential areas and should receive the same service.

"Mounds of snow and ice around the boxes will soon create problems for all," Mrs. Stoner said. She added the Super - mailboxes are eyesores which reduce property values, as does the lower level of service. Mrs. Stoner said they can cause safety hazards for young children and pedestrians, with people stopping in their vehicles to pick up their mail. The resolution, tabled by Markham Conservative MPP Don Cousens, was passed by a vote of 57 to 2. It had the support of the group "Residents Against Mailboxes", RAM, which is pushing for home mail delivery in new urban areas across Canada. ab: Cynthia Shelley showed off her free style design an- tberivan plant at the recent Pickering Hortkvkural Society's flower show held in the Pickering Town Centre.

USED CAR RUST PROTECTION Ona recognized solely as a new -car treatment process, rust protection for used vehicles is now possible with Ziebart's Rust Eliminator. Ziebart pioneered the concept of used vehicle rust treatment in 1983, with a revolutionary process that converts existing, hidden rust into a neutral, non -corrosive coating. "By chemically arresting ex- isting rust, we are then able to apply our Ziebart Rust Protec- tion sealant over the treated surfaces -- particularly in en- closed areas, seams and interior crevices to combat corro- sion-, explains Dan W.

Dec. 23, 1987 l Business Community News] On Market Value Reassessment In its ongoing efforts to bring market value reassessment to Metro, The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto is urging the Ontario Revenue Minister to release a 1984 Impact Study that the board feels would help convince the public that the majority of Metro properties stand to benefit from reassessment. In its letter. The Board of Trade urges the Hon. Ber- nard Grandmaitre to ". . take a positive step toward expanding public knowledge and understan- ding of the issues by disseminating the full tax consequences contained in the 1984 Impact Study." "Market value reassess- ment is a big issue these days," said Michael Ward, member of the board's Taxation Committee. "We believe that the Impact Study will show that the majority of Metro homeowners will pay less property tax under reassessment. But until the study is released in full to the public, the debate on the issue will continue to be more speculative than fac- tual." The board's letter was prompted by Metropolitan Toronto Council's Dec. 8th decision to defer a decision on market value reassess- ment until next March. Besides the residential properties that will enjoy decreased property taxes, the board's letter notes that many small independent businesses will also benefit from reassessment, and suggests that " .. a further major delay in this benefit will undoubtedly jeopar- dize their financial viabdi- ty " Urgent action on the mat- ter is needed, the letter says. due to the " .. grow- ing inequities of the present system and the ad- ministrative difficulties that these create." The board is apprehensive that the Metro Council meeting in March may again end in stalemate or deferral, fur- ther delaying the positive impact that reassessment would have on a majority of taxpayers. �•eee •vee - -_D•e •e.°• c '.�= „ •,. ee", 0 •00 ••O°O O O -O °• - ) -��•0• ° •1 °• �• • eYO • •r '. •C000.OeC --OOC•Op0 •�ee0C00�. o • •••• 000•••O.00- _ ,�' - - _ ♦e ••O • O • O • • ••+• eeo• •° C p O• a o , e• a e^ a �e a "e - ( • •• • C Surrounded by the warmth and love a° • of an old fashioned holiday we sends e ••e wishes for a simply wonderful �� e • vee,° e • � (`�``` co• ;. °.Christmas to our loyal friends.

Donald Macdonald, former Liberal finance minister and royal commission chairman. and current co- chairman of the pro -free trade business group, the Canadian Alliance for Trade and Job Oppor- tunities. Macdonald assessed the Canada -U.S. free trade agreement that was negotiated in October. While noting that the pre- sent agreement falls short of the ideal as envisioned by the royal Coeimission, he said that the deal, if enacted, would provide a "substantial gain from a Canadian standpoint, because in a situation where you are out- numbered ten -t0 -one, If you don't have power on your side, it is at least worth something to have disputes decided not exclusively by power but by the legal pro- cess.- He ro- CeSS.'.He expressed disappoint- ment at the lack of pro- gress m resolving non - tariff issues such as government procurement and countervail. However, he rioted that the deal should offer some "early economic potential benefits" to the Canadian energy sector, while hav- ing little impact on the auto industry in the next year or two. On cultural issues, Mac- donald suggested that Canadian control "will con- tinue to be reinforced." He predicted that Investment Canada (the federal wat- chdog on foreign invest- ment) will exercise "very tough scrutiny" in such areas as book publishing and other popular media. The third speaker at the seminar, Norman Robert- son, chief economist at the Mellon National Bank and Trust Company in Pitt- sburgh, offered a rather gloomy outlook on the U.S. economy for next year. .. . . f I - . r t .

Serving the Community Since 1950 i trav Around Brisbane, Australia There are also a number of other interesting old houses and period recrea- tions around Brisbane. Early Street Historical Village on Mcllwraith Avenue is a recreation of early Queensland colonial life. In Bowen Hills is the Miegunyah Folk Museum, housed in an 1884 building, a fine example of early Brisbane architecture which had been restored as a memorial to the pioneer women of Queensland. There are also many places of interest around the City of Brisbane that you might want to take in. North of the City, heading towards Bribie Island and the Sunshine Coast, you can visit Sandgate, a popular old resort area just 19 km from the city or the eccentric Shell Bungalow at Deception Bay which is decorated with more than a million shells. East of the city, about 30 km up the winding Brisbane River, you can visit Moreton Island with the Tangalooma Resort, North Stradbroke, Island and the old penal colony of St. Helena. South of the city on the road to the Gold Coast, you'll come across the famous old rum distrillery called Beenleigh, which has been operating since 1884. The town also has the Bullen's African Lion Park and Zoo. And west of the city, heading inland from Brisbane towards the Darl- ing Downs, there are a number of places of in- terest along the Cunn- ingham Highway to Ipswich and beyond and on the Brisbane Valley Highway to Toowoomba.

Be sure no yolk slips in with the white to interfere with the foam formation. • Let egg whites stand at room temperature for about half an hour after separat- ing.

Hillebrand Estates and The McMichael Canadian Collection have teamed together in this effort to answer the need for a uni- que look on Canadian wine labels. "Canadian wineries were being accused of trying to look like French and Ger- man wineries because our labels looked so similar to theirs, so Hillebrand was after a truly Canadian - looking label," said Hillebrand President John Swan. "Since wine and art go hand in hand, we teamed Canada's best of both together and came up with Collectors' Choice.,' Collectors' Choice premiered with last year's vintage and featured Tom Thompson paintings on the label. It was received with much success, with 7.000 bottles of the limited edi- tion Chardonnay and 5,000 bottles of limited edition Pinot Nior completely sell- ing out within a few mon- ths. Eight thousand each of Collectors' Choice Char- donnay and Cabernet Merlot were vinted this year. In the hope of creating a Canadian tradition and in- itiating a collectable series, Hillebrand Estates and The McMichael Cana- dian Collection plan to feature a different Group of Seven artist each year. The limited edition bottlings are expected to appreciate in value in the future.

Scott Fennell irt r D from Norah Stonerlow, MPP Durham West An improvement in local court facilities is included in a strategic plan for the construction and renovation of court facilities in Ontario recently announced by Provincial At- torney General Ian Scott. The plan, the result of a year-long assessment of present court facilities in all provincial judicial districts, sets out the major construction projects in order of priority. It also lists minor renovations and leasehold improvement pro- jects. There are 45 projects costing less than $250,000 each on the minor renovations and leasehold list, including relocating the Provincial (Criminal) Courts in Ajax. The Ministry, depending on the availability of funds, plans to start each of the projects within the next four years. TWENTY-ONE MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS The list of major capital projects sets out 21 projects that have been assessed as the highest priority. Each is estimated to cost over $250,000 with work also depending on funds being available. In a statement to the Legislature, Mr. Scott said the first 10 projects are listed in order of priority. Windsor. Hamilton. Brampton, Toronto. Welland and Woodstock top the list for major construction. Mr. Scott added as the first 10 projects near completion, the remaining 11 projects will be reviewed to update the priority list. A Combined Courts Complex for Whitby Oshawa is one of the 11 projects. In releasing the strategic plan, Mr. Scott said, '"Iris plan establishes, for the first time, a cot. prehensive view of our facilities and what the needs are across the province. Removing the ad hoc or arbitrary approach taken in the past to decisions regarding court accommodation will benefit both the !Ministry from a planning perspective and the users of the court facilities". CRITERIA USED FOR PRIORITIES A munber of criteria was used to establish the purity list. They include whether the physical or environmental conditmas of the present facilities pose a threat to health or safety of court house users. whether the facilities comply with statutory or regulatory requirement such as being able to separate adult and young offenders, a backlog of cases indicating the facility is overloaded. physical deterioration of the building to the extent that it impedes man opeirafion %AMP and tions where the facility would exceed its capacity within five years because of a growth in workload. The Ministry also has general principles which it uses to base decisions °nBO c t allocating resources for court accommodations such as providing facilities only in response to proven need. COMMUNITY CON- SULTED A profile report on each judcial district was done in the review of existing court facilities to develop the strategic plan. The Ministry invited input from local judges, local bar associations, municipal authorities and police forces as well as other com- munity groups that ex- pressed an interest. The Attorney General said these comments played a significant part in the process and develop- ment of the priority list. NORAII'S NOTES There have been three group tours of the Legislature by students from schools in Durham �r West since the September Provincial election. On Oct. 7th, about 45 students from Ajax High School visited Queen's Park. The following day, about 60 grade 6 students from Lincoln Avenue School in Ajax toured the Legislature. And on Dec. 1st, about 20 students from Frenchman's Bay School in Pickering were at Queen's Park for a tour. I hope many more people will come to visit either in groups or as individuals.

Speaking a;- To You Scott Fennel M.P. ,. Ontario Riding In this day and age, divorce and separation are, unfor- tunately, a fact of life. Coinciding with this is the fact that many of these families are headed by a single parent who has probably spent years trying to enforce support, custody and access orders or agreements. In February, 1986, the Family Orders and Agreements Enforcement Assistance Act was passed by Parliament. Parts 1 and 111 of this Act were proclaimed by the Minister of Justice on November 30, 1967, and form part of the Federal Tracing Information Service. This federal service is available to provide information to assist the provinces and territories in enforcing family sup- port payments, which were either issued by a court order or by written agreement between spouses. Part 1 will allow for the release of certain information to assist in locating those who breach support, custody or access orders or agreements, and Part 111 contains general provisions per- taining to the operation of the Act. Part 11 of the Act, which has not yet been proclaimed, will allow for the garnishment of federal payments of the debtor spouse. The first step in locating the missing debtor, the provin- cial motor vehicle registration must be searched before searching the designated federal information banks, which are Health and Welfare Canada. and the Canada Employ- ment and Immigration Commission. Most provinces and territories have a support enforce- ment service. If a child is believed to be missing or ab- ducted, this service can be used to trace missing persons. In Ontario, you do not have to take any steps to make use of the federal tracing information service as the provincial en- forcement service will collect and enforce your support payments. However, they can now go one step further and use the federal tracing information service to locate a defaulting spouse. Information will be given only to the authorized court, enforcement officials or the police. This will ensure confidentiality and will be limited to the address of the person and the name and address of his her employer. I am sure this information service will be of great value and will help protect children - the most vulnerable members of our society.
