Does garlic have any value other than as food flavoring' R.B. A. Old wives tales claim wearing a clove of garlic on a str- ing around the neck protects the wearer from vampires. Scientifically speaking. garlic is of proven value for those who have suffered heart attacks. It has been found that eating an ounce of garlic per day may help to protect against arteriosclerosis, the narrowing of heart arteries due to fatty depostis which contain cholesterol and triglycerides. Garlic is reported to significantly lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. While it hasn't been entirely proven that cholesterol and triglycerides cause heart attacks, most physicians agree that there is a strong lint between them. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also reports that garlic seems to prevent blood cells from clumping together to form dangerous clots in the arteries. Q. I heard that biting on a cork will stop a nosebleed. Is this true A.R. A. Gripping a cork between your teeth will keep you from swallowing. Swallowing can dislodge the clot that eventual- ly stops a nosebleed. Usually holding a cork in the teeth is used in conjunction with pinching the nostrils and applying ice to the bridge of the nose as a home remedy for stopping nosebleeds. One thing that should never be done is to pack the nostril with cotton or tissue as that only keeps the blood vessels open. Persistent bleeding should always be brought to the attention of a physician. 0 G-, ,,eP sc if "rrru)uyc x"ilru", Pickering,P Kingston a L1 V 3N7 831-8017 qa)) Speaks About Probl -This everyday sounds of undletected ringing doorbells, In a statement to the On - telephones. alarm clocks or taro Legislature on wed. stove timers are com- Feb. 10th the MPP in- monpiace to those of use traduced in the House two with bearing." said Norah very special people, Jill Stoner, Liberal MPP Johnson, a constituent of Durham West. hers from Ajax and Jackie "Imagine what it would Harbour, of Ancaster, the be like if you couldn't hear founder of the organintion It sounds. or the sounds Hearing Ear Dogs of of sirens, a baby crying. so.

Mar. 9,191% Opinion a page for expression for you and us Crawling Around Metro by Bob Watson Our heading could read "Crawling Around Metro .. And Area" because the roads in and out of Metro Toronto are jammed as well as time inside the Metro area. At the second annual Renaissance Conference held last weekend by the Scarborough Agincout Provincial Liberal Party the question of transportation was discussed in a workshop. Scarborough Controller Ken Morrish and Bill Belfontaine explained to the audience where roads had been planned and are needed. It wasn't long before it was obvious that most opinion was for the construction of more roads, such as the Spadina Expressway, Scarborough Ex- pressway (including the north-east road to connect with Hwy 407) as well as the 407 highway. The Metro area has had 12 years of provincial and local governments hiding their faces from the cold, hard facts that thousands of new homes. industries and cars now in- habit the same land. If this area is going to maintain its im- dustrial output and living system these main routes must be built - and fast before the jam clogs development in the area. Let's go' Readers let us know where you stand on this issue. The Rosalie Hall Problem The F.ditae: I see by you pope' of Feb. 24th that the Rosalie Hall. which is a Roman Catholic home for unwed mothers. is desperately in need of funds for expansion. I can unders- tand this. since their so-called religious leader John Paul II. with his medieval ideas against all forms of birth control, makes such places necessary. I have a suggestion for Rosalie Hall. that they contact all of these "Right of Life" members, who like parading for their views but never take into consideration that an un- wanted -wanted fetus that ends up as a birth, sentences a parent or parents to 16 or 18 years of looking after this child., whether they are financially or otherwise capable of doing so. Perhaps these "Right of lifers" should be asked to con- tribute generously to Rosalie Hall to help look after the Pope's mistakes. Many of these are R.C.s anyway so they would be supporting one of their own institutions. Go for it Rosalie Hall, make than put their pocketbooks where their mouths are. The Pope Calls It Right We must praise Pope John II for his recent call to Raman Catholics to sell their gold in the churches and use the money to feed the poor. For too long beautiful edifices were the waViippeng grounds for needy humans. Peterson For Higher Taxes Dear Sir Madam: Now we see the real Premier Peterson - be's the Pierre Tr udeau of Ontario politics' Peterson, like Trudeau before him, stands for higher taxes higher spending. higher debt - in shot, he stands for bigger government_ In 1986-x, Peterson's government squandered an historic opportunity to balance its budget in one year. Its revenue grew by $3.3 billion, which meant the government could have increased spending by $1.7 billion, or 5.9 percent and still balanced its budget. Instead the Peterson government increased spending by $3.3 billion, or 11.4 percent, in a wild vote buying spree. As a result. Peterson burdened Ontarians with a deficit of $1.3 billion for that one year alone. That will be added to the huge debt burden that our children will have to pay - and Canadians are already among the most over -taxed Ample in the wester workd Premier Peterson should look to the Conservative government of Great Britain and to the Labour govern- ments of Australia and New Zealand for guidance. They have all balanced their budgets by controlling spending and pursuing privatization - not by raising taxes.

Canada -China Friendship Citing the growing importance of China to Canada, Pauline Browses, M.P. Scarborough Centre, has become a founding member of the Canada -China Parhaanemtary Friendship Association. "China is becoming increasingly important to Canada in tams of trade andunterTmational relations,.. Browes said, "therefore, I felt that it was timely to help found a Parliamentary Friendship Association with China." The Friendship Association will work with Members of Parliament and Chinese officials to broaden Canada - Chinese economic and cultural relations. "China offers a multitude of new economic opportunities for Canada," Browes said. China has been targetted by the Canadian government's National Trade Strategy for future trade expansion. The Trade Strategy is a $70 million program designed to expand Canada's overseas trade. Funding from the Strategy has already gone toward opening a new Canadian trade office in Shanghai. "We currently trade over $1 billion worth of goods with China," says Browes "our Association will be working with the National Trade Strategy to increase that trade and open new markets for Canadian goods.,' Olive Is President Of PCs The annual general meeting of the Scar- borough East Provincial Progressive Conservative Party on Feb. 23 at the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Collegiate was well attended.

Housing For Disabled On Feb. 19th, the Minister of Health announced that $1.4 million in annual operating funds will be provided to create 86 supportive housing beds and seven new Community Men- tal Health Programs for the psychiatrically disabled in the catchment area served by the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. These programs will include supportive counselling for manic deprrsssives, supportive Musing programs to help residents' transition to an independent lifestyle, vocational training, crisis intervention, and recreational activities. They mark the first stage in the $81.2 million redevelop- ment edevelopmeat project for the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. Scarborough will be the location for one of the Supportive Housing Programs. An annualized budget of $41300 for 1988 89 has been approved to provide supportive Musing in the form of apartments to 40 individuals with psychiatric disabilities. The program is co-sponsored by the Canadian Mental Health Association - Metropolitan Toronto Branch, and the Scarborough General Hospital, who will jointly be responsi- ble for staffing, selection of residents, program planning and implementation. The Supportive Housing Coalition of Metropolitan Toronto will be responsible for property management, including collection of rent, and the actual site selection. ,'This 24 hotr program will provide support for the psychiatrically disabled according to need. Residents will have the opportunity to learn to develop, improve, and maintain skills in the area of life management and socialization through skills training, group activities, and individual goal setting," said Frank Faubert, M.P.P. for Scarborough -Ellesmere.

At ameeting of the t s P commit lee as week, trustees ex- pressed concern that the two grades may have to double up for French in- struction in order to give teachers the 100 minutes guaranteed them as part of the settlement which ended the strike. Presently, a combined grade of 4 and 5, for exam- ple, take their French separately but next September they may have to take it together. Trustees say they are not sure a language can be taught to two different levels at the same time. If this happens, students are actually receiving only 30 instead of 40 minutes of in- struction, says Trustee Bob Smith. Other areas which could also be affected are library time, music, physical education, family studies and industrial arts. Although scluool trustees misted they did not want the French program to pay the price of preparation time, they nevertheless agreed to have board staff prepare teaching materials and resources for teaching Jaguars At Metro Zoo Damien and Serena, the Metro Toronto Zoo's magnificent Jaguars. in- vite everyone to join in the fun during March Break at the Zoo.

Chinese Community Blood Clinic The Chinese Community in Toronto, through the Chinese Canadian Medical Society, Sing Tao Daily and Chinese Voice of C. H. I. N.

The fust of the two acts is primarily to set the premise of the play and, to an audience parched for more than chuckles, the promise of Act II. In the latter, the son is on trial for multiple murders - none of them at the North Pole - and the entire legal system of common and statute law is held up to the ridicule it sometimes deserves. Sounds promising doesn't it. And, yet, even with a cast that approaches brilliance it doesn't quite come off. Don't ask us why; if we knew, we'd be directing for a living. It's possible that the play has simply outlived itself. Fun- ny or, at least, curious 30 years ago: nothing more now than a curio. There are some laughs, make no mistake about it, but not enough to sustain or satisfy. Graham Crowden is superb as a silly ass judge. Never once does he waver from majesty; never once does he make any sense. John Fortune as Defen- ding Counsel and John Savident as Prosecuting Counsel are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum to a turn. We've all seen their prototypes in courts. One can't laugh at them there but one most certainly can in the Groomkirby's Old Bailey Parlour. Peter Bayliss nicely underplays father Groomkirby. Oh, he's Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide bonkers all right but he doesn't seem to be. Ditto for Brenda Bruce as the mother, Kathryn Pogson as the daughter and Andrew St. Clair as the moribund son in black. John Bird as a boarder ldetective plays his role well if one could on- ly know what it is supposed to be other than a de facto chor'uss. Paul Bigley as the daughter's boy friend does well also considering his part is so poorly conceived. Ann Way is in command as the consumer of the Groomkirby's excess food and Betty Turner is adorable as the dotty Aunt Mildred. She spends her time in a wheelchair think- ing she is in the Hebrides and studying travel brochures. Every family has an Aunt Mildred .. or should have. Quite the most remarkable performances are by three men who bare- ly speak throughout. arelye. Frank Taylor as the Court Usher reacts as every good actor should to every spoken word and every action on stage. yet says nothing. His eyes and body movements say it all. The same can be said for Martin Sadler as the policeman. Almost mute, he is at the witness box throughout and standing in the manner of all policemen who have been superannuated to the courts. His feet hurt and the audience knows though he says not a word. John Scarborough is Clerk of the Court and is quite quintessential. He says nothing yet is aware of all that is going on and from time to time passes notes - as we've all seen court clefs do - to the Judge. One has always suspected that such notes are probably asking how the judge will prefer his to at adjournment. Now, we tWnik we know. Go, see One Way Pen- dulum. You cannot fail to enjoy the performances and the ralirrtion that for this once anyway, the play is not the thing. Migawd, now we're writing like Simpson after all. ON STAGE IL L'Homme Gris ( again any significance in the title escapes us) at Toronto Free Theatre might well be described as a one man ley except that there are two people in it and one of them is female. It takes place in a motel where a father has stopped for the night with his daughter whom he is rescu- ing from an unhappy mar- riage to a brute who beats her. The daughter is anorex- ic; more than that really because she is almost catatonic. She doesn't speak and is clearly at war with personal demons. (At the outset it should be remarked that L'Homme Gris is a play for intimate theatre. Too large a theatre would not permit an au- dience to see the wondrous play of emotions on the young woman's face, all without a word spoken by her.) Her father, a Canadian Babbit, tries to help her through the night with his kind of kindness and con- versation . . much, much conversation in which one learns his life story and perhaps, the reason for his daughter's condition. It is a compelling play that holds one's attention to the very end. Unfortunate- ly, that end is an in- describably stupid one and the feeling is that the playwright Marie Laberge didn't know where to take the characters after expos- ing their psyches. We felt cheated, rather like wat- ching a favourite team blow a big lad. Even so, we recommend one's custom for the pleasure in watching two fine performers. David Fox delivers a bravura performance as the decent well intentioned man who tries to unders- tand his daughter but, at the heart of it all, really doesn't. His lines, his con- siderable lines, are delivered with an honesty and sincerity that quite sears the emotions of an audience. Karen WoDindge has a difficult role as the daughter in as much as she has no more than perhaps a domes words in the entire play and most convey all her emotion by body movements - good direc- tion by Richard Greenblatt - and facial acpreisions. She does both wonderfully well and we have an idea she will receive a Dora nomination. Well, why not' Consider Johnny Belinda. We further predict that L'Homme Gris can settle in for a long run. ON STAGE III: Starting next Wednesday and through till Mar. 20th, John Labatt Classic presents The 20th Anniver sary Production of Jacques Bre! is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. The production will be at Massey Hall and feature an excellent cast in the per- sons of Kathy Michael ynn. Brent Carver, Gary Krawford and Louise Pitre. We've frankly. always been underwhelmed by Brel but this quartet of per- formers are worth seeing in anything. Tickets are available at Massey Hall, Roy Thomson Hall and all BASS Ticketmaster outlets. IN CONCERT: Windham Hill recording star Michael Hedges will appear this Saturday at Convocation Hall. He can also be heard on W.H. Records Sampler '88 playing Because It's There from his album Live on the Double Planet. The sampler is an excellent in- troduction, if one is needed, to many of the excellent ar- tists featured on the Win- dham Hill label. ON SCREEN: Paramount sends along the interesting news that although Beverly Hills Cop II was 1987's top grossing film, it received only one Academy Award nomina- tion; best song, Shakedown by Bob Seger. Fatal Attraction and The Untouchables did well with ten nominations in total. Look for dark horse nominee Sean Connery to win for his role of Jimmy Malone in the Un- touchables.

Smoke* is for children, one of the forbidden frits of adulthood: it seems to be associated with things only grown-ups do. Smoking appeals to a child's sale of curiosity. Smoking together creates a bond among friends. The future of the tobacco indtstry lies with youth -getting thein to start smoking to replace each generation of older smokers as they quit or die. The average starting age for smoking today is 12. A youth who can resist smoking until the age of 20 has a good chance of remammng a non-smoker. 90% of smokers begin by age 19, and it is believed that the earlier people start, the less likely they are to quit.

Queen's Report .from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West The Provincial Government will spend $45.8 million to create 62,000 summer jobs for young people in Ontario through three programs of the Ministry of Skills Develop- ment. The Start -Up Program offers students up to $3,000 in interest-free loans to start up their own summer business. Information on Student Start Up has been to Ontario high schools and post -secondary institutions. A nevus release from the Skills Development Ministry says approximately 1,500 students are expected to take part in this 5900,000 program. Under the Ontario Summer Employment Program the Government will pay qualified employers a wage subsidy of $1.25 an hour• toward the salaries of young people hired for new summer jobs. The news release says the subsidy is available for hiring extra young people in addition to the ones an employer would normally hire dtwirrg the summer. It's expected the $30 million program will create about 53,000 jobs through 30,000 employers. And students are invited to apply for career -related jobs in Ontario government ministries and agencies through the Summer Experience 88 Program. The $14.9 million pro- gram provides 7,500 jobs. The Summer Experience brochure which can be obtained through guidance counselling offices in high schools and placement offices in colleges and universities lists the available jobs. In announcing the funding for the summer employment programs Skills Development Minister Alvin Curling said, "Strnmher employment is vital for Ontario's students, not only for the earnings which make it possible for many to return to college or university. but also for the hands-on ex- perience these jobs provide " He added, "Employers who hire summer students are making an important investment in the future workforce of the province, and that benefits everyone...
