Q. 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.

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.
Yours sincerely
David Somerville
President

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.,'

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

Preparation Time Better?
by Gay Abbate
When they went on strike
last fall, elementary public
school teachers argued
preparation time would im-
prove the quality of educa-
tion but now Scarborough
school trustees fear the
reverse may be true.
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

- and we are indebted to the
Smothers Brothers for this
invaluable bit of informa-
tion - crabs walk sideways
and lobsters walk straight;
knowledge that is war-
ranted to provide you
restful nights.
There are two major
legitimate theatre presen-
tations in town that might
well be compared or con-
trasted as crabs and
lobsters. tet us examine
them both.

clothing.
Kafka or Kaufman?
Take your pick.
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.

and through till Mar. 20th,

The production will be at

excellent cast in the per-
sons of Kathy Michael

We've frankly. always
been underwhelmed by

in anything. Tickets are
available at Massey Hall,

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

sampler is an excellent in-
troduction, if one is needed,
to many of the excellent ar-
tists featured on the Win-
dham Hill label.

Paramount sends along
the interesting news that
although Beverly Hills Cop
II was 1987's top grossing
film, it received only one

Charter was signed in 1652,

Cromwell and the Com-

The town was named for

Bajans love fish and one
of the several places on the
island to buy fish is at
Oistin. Albacore, red snap-
per, shark, barracuda,

specialties.
Flying fish, Barbados'
most popular delicacy, ac-
counts for 60 percent of all
fish landed on the island.
The flying fish weighs on
average about 8 ounces and
is 10-12 inches long. It has a
wing span of 16-18 inches
which enables it to leap and
"fly" through the air! Ba-

Did You Know That...
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...
NORAH'S -NOTES:
I urge residents of the Ajax -Pickering arra who haven't
done so already to support the latest fund-raising effort of
Pickering -Ajax Cltiners Together for the Environment.
PACT is selling biodegradable garbage bags. Through
agreernert with Guardian Poly Industries, PACT has ac-
quired the rights to sell the "Bio Guard" bags as a fund-
raising project until they are marketed eounnercially m
Hatay.
A PACT spokesperson says its the first of what will be a
growing stream of biodegradable plastic products now be-
ing developed to meet the demands of an environmentally
aorsciotns public.
The Bio -Guard bags dmappear w about five years after
bang buried. The lifespan of traditional plastic garbage
bags is estimated at about 200 to 300 years. And that
restricts the decomposition rate of their contents.
The biodegradable bags are available at Greenwood
General Store. Goodview Farms Market on Brock Road
(north of the 4th Concession in Pickering), Ajax Plumbinig
Supply Limited (71 Station Street in Ajax) and my consti-
tuency office (Office Unit No. 1, 2 Randall Drive, Pickering
Village).
I was pleased to take pan in a sod -turning ceremony Feb.
27th for the 75 -unit co-operative townhouse project being
built in the area of Valley Farm Road and Finch Ave. in
Pickering- The non-Pe'tifit project, sponsored by Parkway
Co, -operative Hones Inc., is being developed under the
Federal -Provincial Non -Profit housing Program.
It is vital to have propane refrigerators professionally serviced every
year, even if the appliances appear to be running properly. The smell of
rotten eggs or cabbages may alert you to a propane leak, but other
malfunctions can be difficult to detect. In the past decade, 36 Ontario
residents have died in accidents caused by malfunctioning propane
fridges. Before turning on your refrigerator this season, have it
checked over by an expert.
