which will retrain in effect
until Aug. 31, 1995, is ex-

Report Approved
The 1958-89 Enrolment,

Board.
Lobbying Efforts
Future lobbying efforts
for the board will be co-
ordinated through the
Chairman's Committee.
Ajax trustee Duncan Read
recently appointed as the
board's trustee lobbyist,
will now become a member
of the Chairman's Cornmit-
tee. The board supported,
in principle. the concept of
one voice for trustees to
speak on behalf of public
education in Ontario. This
motion was put forward as
a result of correspondence
from the Lincoln County
Board of Education dealing
with a forum on trustee
organizations. Unlike the
recently -formed Ontario
Public Education Network
(O.P.E.N.) which consists
of members from seven
education organizations.
this will be an organization
of the three public school
trustee associations in On-
tario.

Q. Why don't beavers drown when they csbew underwater?
J.S.
A. A beaver's four bright orange eheisors ( the biting teeth
at the front of his mouth ) have two folds of skin behind
them. These folds of skin cone from each side of the
beaver's month and seal off the back portion of the mouth
and tbroat. Therefore the beaver can chew underwater
without and gnaw down a tree without getting a
mouthful
A beaver never stops growing until it dies. Beavers
average about four feet long and 40 to 40 pounds, but
beavers have been trapped that weighed as f91tICh as loo
pounds. Beavers have lived to the age of 19 is captivity.
Q. Hove was dynamite discovered? H.R.
A. According to tradition, the Chinese invented gunpowder
sometime before the birth of Christ. It became the prevail-
ing explosive all over the world until the nineteenth cew
tiny.
In 1845 a German chemist, Schoebem, treated cotton
fibers with a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids produc-
ing a white fibrous product known as nitro-cellulose, or gun-
cotton, which was much more explosive than gunpowder.
At the same time, an Italian called Ascanio Sobrero was ex-
perimenting with ordinary glycerin which he let fall drop
by drop on a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids. The
result of this experiment was nitorglycerin, which was an
explosive even more powerful than guncotton.
The problem with nitroglycerin is that it is extremely
volatile and therefore must be handled with extreme care.
During the 1860's, a Swedish chemist, Alfred Noble, had
been working with nitroglycerin and the problems it
presented. When he removed some cans of nitroglycerin
from the box of kieselguhr to light volcanic earth) in which
they had been packed, he found one of them had sprung a
leak. The mixture of leaked nitroglycerin and kieselguhy
had formed a solid mass which made an explosive much
less sensitive to shock and dynamite had been discovered
by accident.

Oh, When
Will We Get Them?
by Bob Watson
It is encouraging to see that Kelly Toughill writing in the
Toronto Star suggests that the 506 parking spaces at the
Dome Stadium are inadequate for the 70.000 people who will
try to get into it. Downtown Toronto people have been so
btisy grabbing everything they can to pack into one small
section of the city that the rest of Metro Toronto can take a
backseat. We predict, however, that sports enthusiasts will
find it almost impossible to get to a Blue Jays game when
the dome opens up.
But the big problem in Metro Toronto - and especially the
eastern half of Metro - is one of toads. Sam Cass, Metro's
Commissioner of Roads, laid out the perfect plan for roads,
which included the Spadina and the Scarborough Ex-
pressway. If these roads had been built back in the Premier
Bill Davis era, traffic would be moving at a reasonable rate
and we could all brag that Metro Toronto was the best city
in the world for traffic.
The Peterson government seems to be putting its head in
the sand and not paying attention to all the flaws in the
previous PC government. Ontario motorists pay a lot of
money - billions - into the coffers of Queen's Park and they
do not get the value back in roads as was intended in the
licences and gas taxes.
We need a gutsy Ontario government to begin a roads
program which could eat up a lot of money, but it would be
returned in the better personal and business climate in this
region
Needs Facts On Wartime
Dear Editor.
I am an M.A. student in history currently attending
Laurentian University in Sudbury. I am researching the
employment of Northern Ontario women in the war in-
dustnes of the Second World War. Many of the large in-
dustries such as the muuitions and aircraft plants were
located in the highly industrialized areas of Southern On-
tario. and many women from the North actually worked in
these plants for the duration of the war. A number of com-
panies in Northern Ontario. however, also hired women in
jobs which in the pre-war years had been designated as
male occupations.
I would like to correspond with women who worked in
Northern and Southern war industries, and with anyone
w•to would have information concerning specific industries
in the North. ,aluch hired women to meet the much publiciz-
ed labour shortage in industry.
For anyone wishing to write to me. please address your
letter to: Sandra Walton. History Department, Laurentian
University. Ramsey Lake Road, Sudbury. Ontario. P3E

Thank you for publishing this letter.

Report From Ottawa
By Reg Stackhouse, M.P. - Scarborough -Wast
Canadian Ecosomy Performing weu
Despite the serious stockmarket plummet last October,
the Canadian economy continues to show a strong perfor-
mance. There is good economic news on a variety of fronts
including employment, interest rates, economic growth,
price stability, housing starts and deficit reduction.
A total of 1.042,000 jobs have been created since
September 1964, almost half of them in Ontario. The
unemployment rate has fallen from 11.7% in September
1964 to 8.1 % in December 1987, the lowest rate of unemploy-
ment since November 1961. The Ontario unemployment
rate has fallen from 9.4% to 5.9%.
Since 1984 the Bank of Canada rate has fallen by 3.68
percentage points to 8.70%- The Chartered Bank Pnme
Rate has fallen by 3-1 4 percentage points to 9-3 4%.
:among the Group of Seven G-7) countries. Canada again
showed the strongest growth , 4.5%) in the first half of 1987,
after growing more rapidly than the other major in-
dustrialized countries in 1986. In Ontario in 1986, the
number of families living below the poverty line declined by
2.7% ( from 11.4% to 8.7%) compared to 1984.
.After adjusting for inflation, average family income rose
by $1,635 in real terms between 1964 and 1986. The inflation
rate (CPL i has been in the 4% range for three years, the
most stable price environment since 1971. Canadian hous-
ing starts in November 1967 were at a "seasonally adjusted
at annual rates" level of 233,000 an increase of 65% since
September 1984. Housing starts last year were at their
highest level in eight years.
The deficit has fallen from a record $38.3 billion in the
1984-85 fiscal year to a projected $29.3 billion this year. This
will be the first consecutive three-year decline in the deficit
in three decades.

Miracle On The Parkway
by Bob Watson
It was Fri. Jan. 8th as I headed down the Don Valley
Parkway to a luncheon at the Royal York Hotel. It had beers
snowing slightly in the morning but the roads looped
reasonably dry now. As I drove southwards from the 401 in
the outside lame I noticed that the car ahead was about six
car lengths away and so I speeded up slightly to get closer.
Suddenly I saw his rear brake lights go on and I braked
slightly, looked in the rear view mirror and noted that two
small cars were following me about two car lengths behind.
Then I noted that the car in front was fully stopped I I slam-
med on my brakes, my car began to slide on the roadway -
oh no' the roads are icy - my prayers gmckly emanated as I
seemed to be headed to crash the car in front!
Then suddenly the roadway was bare. my brakes took
hold and my car stopped about six feet from the stopped
car. A quick look into the rear view mirror. Oh no! Behind
the two cars are sliding sideways down the lane towards
me. I put my foot on the brake. It's better they crash me
and not push me into the car ahead. I pray some more. hold
my breath - and then both cars must have reached the bare
road and stopped. My heart rate slowed - and I issued a
quick thanks to the Supreme Being. Then another look in
the rear view mirror and horror came to me again. A large
van was now sliding sideways behind the two cars. My foot
hit the brake again. I saw the van crash into the two cars
and all of them began to head for the rear of my car! I
prayed a lot more! Suddenly. the whole mass of vehicles
behind me stopped .. within a foot of my car. I was saved!
I started to turn into the middle lane of the Partway . .
and to my surprise a motorist slowed and waved me out to
the lane. I switched into the middle lane, curious now why
all these cars had stopped in the outside lane. About six cars
further along two cars were stopped and their drivers
casually talking at the side of the road. There was no ob-
vious damage. Another loo feet and there were two more
drivers stopped and casually chatting beside their cars.
I kept on my journey to the Royal York Hotel, shaken by
the thought that I could have been killed easily if the cars
behind had squashed my car into the ones in front. I rejoic-
ed at the answer to my prayers.

Construction is well
under way for the new $2.4

Scarborough. The 32 -bed
Special Care Unit will pro-
vide care for cognitively
impaired, but independent-
ly mobile residents in-
cluding those suffering
from Alzheimer's disease.
Restless pacing is one of
the disease's most widely
known characteristics.
Research has shown that
sufferers of Alzheimer's,
who walk sometimes as
much as 8 km. daily, prefer
corridors rather than large
open spaces.
To meet this need, the ar-
chitects, specialists in
trey -oriented health care
facilities, have organized
the new ground -level wing
to create a figure-eight pro-
menade that includes a
fenced outdoor pathway,
accessible year-round. A
small resting place next to
the TV Lounge provides a
place for residents to pause
during their walks.
"The main Lounge faces

side," states Mathers &

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE 1:
There's no question that
Neil Simon is a funny
playwright and there can
be no question that Biloxi
Blues currently playing at
the Royal Alex is a funny
play. Yet, your writer
couldn't really warm to it
or fully enjoy its inherent
laughter.
Biloxi Blues is the middle
part of Mr. Simon's
biographical trilogy. (The
first is Brighton Beach
Memoirs and the third is
Broadway Bound coming
to the R.A. in May.) In it,
young Eugene Jerome is in
the army - the U.S. Army of
WW II - and away from
dome for the first time. Our
problem lies with the sur-
round of the play.
We cannot abide the U.S.
Military's concept of train-
ing and discipline. Lord
knows the British way is
brutal enough but it at least
can instill a man with a
sense of dignity and worth.
To be willing to die for a
cause, a man must be filled
with a sense of purpose not
robbed of self esteem as
seems to be the American
way.
The early barrack scenes
in Biloxi Blues in which a
neanderthal sergeant sup-
posedly whips the men into
battle readiness are. in our
view. close to being
sadistic rather than tunny.
The only thing that makes
them palatable is that
which one can only
describe as an appreciation
of the Hebraic quality of
acceptance. In that regard
Mr. Simon might well pro-
ve to be the spiritual heir of
Sholem Aleichem.
That said, let it be on
record that Biloxi Blues
can be enjoyed by those
who appreciate fine writing
and character delineation.
Taking nothing away from
the performers, a Neil
Simon play virtually plays
itself.
In the central role of
Eugene, Mitchell Whitfield
nicely evokes memories of
just how innocent were
many of the young men of
WW 11. Trained to be
killers. many, like Eugene.
had yet to have their first
coitus. How touching it is to
contrast Eugene's first and
only experience with a
doxy and his pure love for
the virginal Daisy. And.
how- refreshing compared
to the brutalities of bar-
racks life.
As his fellow Jew in bar-
racks. Mark Krause might
well be right out of the
aforementioned Sholem
Aleichem. Bullied and
despised by most of his bar-
racks comrades, including
Eugene A-hn r Bards hie::
Around and About . --
Your Dining & Entertainment Guide
with a budding writer's
eye, he remains intellec-
tual and quiescent. In later
years his detached attitude
would come to be called
cool.
It's another well written
role and Mr. Krause wisely
stays, or has been directed
to stay, within Mr. Simon's
character parameters.
As the sergeant, Leon
Pownall looks like Pat
O'Brien, seems to sound
like Pat O'Brien but acts
like Bette Davis in reverse
.drag. Blame the role or
blame the direction but
don't blame Mr. Pownall
who is, we know, a fine ac-
tor.

well handled by Director

dant worn dangling from
an intricately styled chain
or a string of gold hearts to
embellish a plunging
neckline is just right.
For women who are
celebrating a second mar-
riage, the choice of attire is
less traditional. In this
case, there is an assort-
ment of pins that are
glamorous enough for the
wedding day. Long a
favorite among romantics
is the candy box bow or
stylized deco heart enhanc-
ed by an accent of
amethyst or pink tour-

classic wedding suit or daz-
zle a high leek Lacey collar.

fashions are a dream corse

course, the soul is not dead
but the title is eye catching
and one cannot fault Mr.
Starrett for wanting to get
across his message.
The sub -title is equally as
catching; From Descartes
to the Computer.
What Mr. Barrett has
done is to take the concept
of self and present the
arguments of New Age
thinkers for and against the
existence of something that
cannot be measured, only
experienced.
He has done so,
moreover, in a way that is
scholarly but not dull and
most certainly not pedan-
tic.
Now, one does not sug-
gest that the book should be
considered as a primer; it
is intended for those with a
bent for philosophy. it is
however, a virtual must for
all of us who have pondered
the mystery of and reason
for existence.
We are not ashamed to
describe this as a magnifi-
cent book.

week by Fabian and Lou
Christie. No Mother, that's
not Fabian of The Yard.
Stilife has been open now
for about 11 weeks but bas-
ed on the action we saw
re
theon a recent Osit, it's
not going to make it for
another eleven. We counted
only three others there. To
be fair, perhaps it starts to
move in the late hours.
Anyway, you should
check it out. Situated at
Richmond and Duncan
Streets, it's a good example
of what can be done with
old buildings. The design or
decor is basically and
almost relentlessly grey
brick and chrome
highlighted by futuristic
lighting and we suspect the
effect is quite stunning
when the rooms are full.
We didn't dine but did
check out the dining room
and it's most attractive.
Stilife deserves to make it
but based on early
response, we wonder.
