Q. I have a violin that is marked inside with the words "An-
tonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1723".
What does this mean? J.W.
A. The markings are a replica of those used by Antonio
Stradivanous (1644-1737), Italian violin maker from
Cremona, Italy, who has been called the greatest violin
maker in the world. Among other things, Stradivarius is
responsible for developing the standrdized 14" sine violin as
we know it today. Experts estimate that there are only
about 100 absolutely genuine Stradivarious violins in ex-
istence today and each is immensely valuable.
The markings in your violin can be translated as "An -
tomo Stradivarius, Cremona, made in the year 1723". But
don't get excited - thousands of violins with markings
similar to those in your instrument were made in the early
1900's by the Hoffman Company for Sears Roebuck. They
were sold through the Sears Catalogue for $19.00 each. Ac-
cording to Ernest Edwards, columnist for Antiques and Col-
lecting Magazine, these instruments have little if any anti-
que value today.
Q. What is a googol?
A. A googol is a number so high that it has few useful ap-
plications even in physics and astronomy. A googol is the
number 1 followed by one hundred zeros.
The name was coined by a nine year old, Milton Sirotta,
and popularized by his mathematician uncle, Edward
Kasner, in the book Mathematics and the Imagination.
But a googol is nothing compared to a googolplex (lo to
the google power 1010 100). Kasner said that if you counted
every electron in the universe you wouldn't reach a
googolplex. It googles the mind.

Flooding Problems
With rising temperatures
and the levels of precipita-
tion that can normally be
expected during the late
winter and early spring, in
conjunction with the break-
up of the ice cover, periods
of high water levels and
fast flowing conditions can
be expected on streams
and rivers in the local area.
From time to time, creeks
will overtop their banks
resulting in the flooding of
adjacent areas.
The wet and icy condi-
bons also make stream
bunks extremely slippery
and hazardous. School
children are advised at this
time of year to avoid
streams and rivers to pre-
vent slipping and being
swept away by the fast
flowing waters.
The Central Lake On-
tario Conservation Authori-
ty monitors stream and
river conditions throughout
the entire year but with
particular diligence during
the period of "spring
break-up" since dangerous
creek conditions and
localized flooding problems
are a near certainty.
The authority maintains
a warning system to notify
local municipalities, mill
and dam operators, police
and emergency depart-
ments, school boards and
the media, whenever
flooding or hazardous
creek conditions can be ex-
pected.
Residents of the Oshawa,

Teachers Speak Up
by Bob Watson
The secondary school teachers meeting in Toronto during
this winter break week have confronted the Ontario
iNlinister of Education Chris Ward with their views on
Roman Catholic high schools.
One angry teacher from Sudbury compared the separa-
tion of students in high school by religion to apartheid in
South Africa. Of course, this view was called extreme by
Catholic school trustees and Richard Johnston, NDP educa-
tion critic and MPP for Scarborough West. But teacher
Raymond Connolly said the transfer of two schools in Sud-
bury is dividing the community along religious grounds.
The O SSTF believes that there should be one school
system in Ontario and yours truly prepared a solution back
in 19M for the liberal Party whereby Catholic schools,
public schools and private schools would all be under one
school board 100 by Catholic and equal funding. Our proposal was rejected
priests and nuns as they wanted control of
the school board.
Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this problem.
An Explanation
by Bob Watson
Last week's competitive newspaper in Scarborough (the
Mirror) had a big story by Ron Watson about the third an-
niversary banquet of the Federation of Chinese Canadians
in the Pacific Restaurant, Agincourt. Everyone was there.
except some one from this newspaper. Funny. but we us-
ed to get invited to cover these Chinese groups. but we
guess our stand against Luke Tao in the heritage languages
debate has brought a ban for us. Strange though because we
thought these newcomer to Canada were complaining
about racism by us "British Canadians" or as we prefer to
say ... just plain five generations Canadian!
We used to be invited to the Miss Scarborough !North
You Chinese Buusitness Association annual event too, but we
guess after our suggestion that to enter this beauty pageant
(unlike the Miss Scarborough Pageant which Inas no racial
restrictions) one had to have some Chinese blood and
therefore the contest was racist, cut us out of that event as
well.
Most Chinese people we meet seen very nice, but as in all
groups. there are some whose biases are only exceeded by
their selfish approach. We are wn Wig these views to lox our
readers ... some of whom are of Chinese origin ... unders-
tand why this newspaper has no nems of these events.
About Rosalie Hall
I am appalled by the leiter appearW March 9 from B.A.
Blackburn. Clearly, he seems convinced Rosalie Hall
enables unwed women to get pregnant at the behest of the
Pope. His prejudice prevents him from getting facts and
clarity of unclerstanding.
Rosalie Hall is a carrnmu pity and residential support cen-
tre
oo-tre for young single women during and after pregnancy,
regardless of age or religion_ Rosalie Hall originally provid-
ed only prenatal and residential care, but with the on-going
des in attitudes towards single parents, an increasing
number of young women are choosing to keep their babies.
Consequently, this stimulated new needs and Rosalie Hall
tried to respond to them.
Since 1990• Rosalie Hall has opened its doors to pregnant
day students. In 1991, weekly follow-up and support pmo-
grams were initiated for the growing number of single
mothers in the community who chose to keep their children.
A baby sitting service was provided in 1985 to encourage the
Young mothers to continue their schooling after delivery.
The multi-million dollar expansion and renovation pro -
jest will provide a less institutional dwelling for the
residents and will free the existing building to house all of
Rosalie Hall's programs and community services. These
include counselling. medical care, high school education,
support groups, life skills programs, a drop-in centre and
day-care.
I thank God there are people like the Misericordia Sisters
who, with compassion, love and devotion, care for life and
people in need.
Sincerely
Nick Borisko

Position Sorely Inadequate
The U.S. Adrninstration's proposals to stop acid rain were
called "sorely inadequate" recently by Pauline Brow",
M.P. Scarborough Centre and Parliamentary Secretary to
the Minister of the Environment.
In a speech in the House of Commons. Browes said that a
recent decision by the U.S. Administration not to consider
specific acid rain reduction goals was --most disturbing to
Canada".
..Their decision falls far short of the key dements needed
to protect Canada's environment," said Browes.
In 1995, the Canadian government introduced an acid rain
reduction program that will reduce Canada's acid rain
causing emissions by 50%. However, since one-half of the
acid rain falling on eastern Canada originates in the U.S.,
the federal govetrnent has asked the American govern -
ur = w onyx[ a srmuar program. - VVIUK ur stmuar action
on the part of our American neighbours, our abatement pro-
gram cannot be effective,.. Browes said-
Last
aidLast April, President Reagan agreed to consider a Cana-
dian proposal for a bilateral agreement on acid rain. That
aunt would have included specific reduction targets
on American acid rain flowing into Canada. American
negotiators have, however, recently rejected the use of
specific targets and will only negotiate an agreement that
includes further research into the problem and the develop-
ment of new pollution reduction technology.
".Canadians can rest assured that the Minister of the En-
vironment together with the Prince Minister will continue to
pursue this vital environmental issue with the United States
administration, the Congress and with the American
public." said Browes.

Want Court Clarification
About Catholic Schools
Metrpolitan Separate School trustees have urged that a
proposed cart clarification of the legislation on Catholic
secondary school funding take place as quickly as possible.
While expressing regi et over any delay. they have voted to
join the Metro public scbools in asking Education Minister
Chris Ward for reference of the legislation, known as Bill
30, to Divisional Cart.
Metro Tomato School Baud Chairman Ann Vanstone
early this week announced the public school pian to seek
court interpretation of aspects of the legislation that are in
dispute between the two school systems.
Caroline DiGiovanni, Metro Separate School Board
Chairman, said her board did not believe any further
Clarification of Bill 30 was really necessary. Since the
public board wanted it, the separate school trustees decided
they should participate.
"We regret any delay that will be involved, and we
believe the minister has a responsibility to undertake the
court reference in a way which involves the least loss of
time in solving urgent problems of student
accommodation,." she said
Bill 30 was passed by the Ontario Legislature in 1996. It
sets out the rights and obligations of public and separate
school boards relative to facilities and other matters. In
Metro, negotiations on the transfer of accommodation from
the public to the separate board has been going on for 18
months.
Nrs. DiGwvanm urged the Metro area public boards to
provide full information on the accommodation costing in
the public system and on the current and projected oc-
cupancy needs. "We have provided complete, detailed in-
formation on our own situation and we have received
almost no information from any of the area public school
boards or from the Metro public board," she said.
Bob's Notes .
Blind Man Makes Good On Shot
Hockey history was made recently when a young blind
man became the latest winner in the Canadian Hockey
League's Shell Hitachi Duracell Win -A -Car Shootout. Dave
Duncan, a 24 year old dedicated fan of major junior hockey,
was chosen as a shooter from the audience on hand at an
OHL game between Oshawa Generals and visiting Corn-
wall Royals, at Oshawa Civic Auditorium.
In accomplishing his feat, he shot a 1 -inch thick and
3 -inch diameter hockey puck approximately 120 feet along
the ice ( from the defensive blue line to the opposing team's
goal line) through a 3-1! 4 inch wide and 2 -inch high hole in a
board placed in front of the goal. For his successful efforts
Duncan receives the grand prize of $8,000 towards the price
of a new General Motors Pontiac automobile of his choice.

their homes were an inva-
sion of privacy and took
away from the enjoyment
of their property.
They said dogs urinate on
the boxes, kids climb all
over them and bang on
them and residents use it
as a gathering spot. They
also said the boxes are only
35 ft. from their bedroom
windows.
The OMB ruled that the
boxes constitute "a
nuisance" and ordered the
reduction. The two also
argued that the boxes had
devalued their property but
the OMB said there was yet
no evidence one way or
another to show what is the
impact on the boxes.
Only about 20
homeowners will get a
reduction this year in On-
tario but as many as 8800
taxpayers in the greater
Metro area alone could
receive it next year. By the
end of this year there will
be about 110,000 people in
the Metro region getting
their mail through com-
munity mailboxes.
A Ministry of Revenue
spokesman said that if
homeowners near but not
immediately adjacent to
the boxes can prove the
boxes are a nuisance for
them, too, then they can get
the reduction as well.
The ministry will review
the reduction each year
and if house sales prove
there is a negative impact
because of the boxes then
the reduction could be
made greater.
Scarborough stands to
lose about $20,000 next year
in tax revenue because of
the reduction and politi-
cians say the federal
government should reim-
burse the municipalities
because the boxes were

$5,000 Puts Your Name
by Gay Abbate
For just $5,000 you can
have your name up in
lights.
This is the deal being of-
fered to corporations who
are willing to donate $5,000
to help put on a fireworks
like display on July 1.
For years, Scarborough
residents have complained
about the city's willingness
to put on a firework display
on Canada Day says
Sharon Simpson, a
volunteer with the Scar-
borough Committee on
Parades and Entertain-
ment.
This committee, more
commonly known as
SCOPE, is a group of
volunteers who organize
and pian all the city's
public festivities. Simpson
said the city has never put
on a firework display
because of problems with
safety and liability.
This year, however,
SCOPE is planning a laser
pyrotechnic light display
outside the Scarborough
Civic Centre onre dusk
falls after all the Canada
Day celebratic-s. The
Laser lights are perfectly
safe and can be reflected
off the sky or the civic cen-
tre building itself
The catch is sat cor-
porate sponsors or private
iadividtals must be willing
to donate some money.
Without financial contribu-
tions Scarborough's
citizenry, will remain in the
dark on Canada Day.
Simpson says six cor-
porate sponsors each giv-
ing $5,000 will do the trick
and in return for their
donation corporations will
see their name or logo up in
ligths as part of the display
irr acknowledgement of
their gift.
Anyone willing to donate
some money, regardless of
the amount, should contact
Kathy Robertson at
29&1311.
Again this year, SCOPE
is planning a day -long pic-
nic at Thomson Park begin -
In Lights
ning with a pancake
breakfast. There will be a
tea garden, an antique car
stow, pony rides for kids
and plenty of other
festivities for all ages.
All money raised this
year will go to the Scar-
borough Trailblazer
Tandem Bicycle Club
!which provides bike rides
to the blind.
In other years, money
raised from the picnic has
gone to Scarborough Grace
and Scarborough General
Hospitals and to the Emily
Stowe Shelter.

New Travel Regulations For Ontario
New regulations pro-

travel protection initiatives

have experienced when

ON SCREEN 1:
Off Limits (20th Century
Fox) currently on view in
Toronto theatres is not a
remake of the Bob Hope,
Mickey Rooney, Marilyn
Maxwell comedy of a few
dcades ago. It was a funny
film . . intentionally: the
current offering is not fun-
ny. It's not really much of
anything.
Cinematically speaking,
the genre de jour is Viet
Nam and its principal city
Saigon has been chosen as
the setting for the new Off
Limits though almost any
Far Eastern City could
have been used.
Gregory Hines and
Willem (Platoon) Dafoe
are two M.P.s (Military
Police) caught up in the
murders of Saigon pro-
stitutes who have had
children by U.S. soldiers
( reminiscent of Paris after
W.W.D.
Well. there's much
violence but not enough to
qualify Off limits as an ac-
tion film according to one
overheard comment.
There's some decent acting
but not enough to make the
film believable.
It's probably best surn-
marised as being not bad
but not really all that good.
We're ambivalent, which is
Worlds
more than can be said for
those who left before it was
over.
ON SCREEN II:
Well, the March
breakdown-er break is just
at the half way mark and
the little bugg .. angels are
starting to get fractious.
Why not treat them and
your frazzled nerves to a
few hours with an excellent
movie in an excellent
theatre.
This week, Cinesphere at
Ontario Place is presenting
matinee showings at 1:30
and 4:15 p.m. of Return of
The Jedi. This is the final
film of the current Star
Wars trilogy (eventually,
it's hoped there will be nine
but Return of The Jedi will
always be the last,
chronologically) and it's a
honey! Action humour for
the children; good
dramatic issues for the
adult.
CANADIAN SCENE:
The Genie Awards will be

NIGHT SCENES:

Berlin, the night club is
now a year old. Quoting
from a publicity release, it
is "designed to be reminis-
cent of the European
cabaret supper clubs of the
1930 - a cosmopolitan quali-
ty of ambience where the
evening meets the night
and where substance meets
style". We don't know who
wrote that but it's a nice
piece of writing and the im-
ages it conjures up match
reality.
We were here for a party
celebrating the fust year
and quite enjoyed ourself.
Speaking personally,

Club and we felt the better
for it.
The guests were well
chosen and almost
uniformly dressed. Most of
the women, and they were
all attractive, wore black -
we even saw some link
black hats and short black
gloves - and the men wore
dark business suits. Ob,
there were some excep-
tions. we think of one aging
media type who showed up
in blue jeans and wind-
breaker. They looked
ridiculous on hun and even
worse to the chub; he soon
left.
The buffet was elegantly
light and backgrounding it
all was the cocktail piano of

gramme but rather im-
agine it will include at least
sorts of his transcriptions
of works by Villa -Lobos,
deFalla, Albeniz and
Mozart.
And, we can't resist sug-
gesting that one might just
spot Lions. Boyd in the au-
dience.
ON RECORD:
We've been listening to
two interesting and en-
joyable albums from or
related to motion pictures.
Actual scores and or-
cbestratiors from sound
tracks aren't really all that
enjoyable played by
themselves but some are
more pleasant than others.
That said, let us recom-
mend The Last Emperor
( Virgin Records) as an in-
teresting bled of oriental
and occidental music as
written by Ryuichi
Sakamoto and David
Scarborough
Byrne. We prefer the latter
but then most of our life has
been spent away from the
half tones of the oriental
scale. Still. the music of
Sakamoto bas a compelling
quality to it that is in no
way jarrn6 against the
more melodious offerings
of Byrne.
To be honest, the album
is more interesting than en-
joyable but still worth one's
custom.
Decidedly enjoyable is
Ennio )Morri(:one, Film
Music. 1966-1997 (Virgin
Records) . Ennio 1Mor-
ricone's music more than
stands up on its own and
away from soundtracks.
He is the -1 *rip of
scores of such motion pic-
tures as The Good, the Bad
anti the Ugly, Once Upon a
Time in the West, The hfw
sion and My Name is
Nobody. On this albums he
conducts a splendid or-
chestra in his own or-
chestrations. The music is
exciting, sumptuous sold on
at least one cut, almost
achingly beautiful.
Good album and well

Dr. Derevensky on Children
The seventh in a series dealing with childhood problems and effective parenting.
Siblings: Brothers and Sisters Living Together
Dr. Jeffrey Derrvensky is
Associate Professor.
Department ofEducational
Psychology and Counselling,
McGill gni versity, Director of
Rcad?Ser-Go "Parent. Child
Program and a consultant to
Fisher-Price Canada, a
leading toy manufacturer.
The single most common
complaint amongst parents is
that their children are always
"killing" each other. Brothers
and sisters appear to be con-
stantly threatening, fighting,
screaming, ridiculing, at-
tempting to outshine and
eliminate their sibling. While
psychologists, pediatricians
and friends try to reinforce the
fact that this behaviour is
usually quite normal, it is
often little consolatior to the
frenzied parent.
Many parents decide to
have several children so that
they will be "playmates" for
one another and some
"family" when they become
adults. While the psychologi-
cal literature suggests few
problems associated with
being an "only" child, an inter-
esting funding is that only
children tend to want larger
families when they reach
childbearing age.
When does the love and af-
fection parents want their
children to exhibit toward
each other begin to
deteriorate? Certainly, be-
havioural changes, attitudes,
feelings and perceptions are
related to the child s develop-
mental level, parental respon-
ses and environmental influen-
ces. Expectant mothers today
often try to get their older
child involved %vith the unborn
child early on. Mothers can be
observed explaining to the
child that it is not mommy but
rather "the entire family that is
going to have a new baby".
ion older child is often asked
whether he prefers a brother
or sister as if he has a choice. It
is not unusual to hear a child
say "I hate my sister. You
asked me what 1 wanted, I told
you a brother. Take this baby
back."
Parents anxious to enhance
sibling love will often explain
how much fun it will be to
have an new playmate
without ever suggesting some
of the negative consequences.
These consequences include
having to share what was once
only his: the baby taking a
considerable amount of HIS
mother's time: the baby crying
and awakening everyone; and
that this cute baby will often
produce foul odours. Someth-
ing we forget to mention is
that most of the "playing" will
not occur for several years
until the infant has developed
iIs to a toddler or preschooler
The tremendous amount of
pleasure that was promised is
not realized for several years.
The adult attention lavished
exclusively on the single child
must now be shared with the
baby, who often receives most
of the attention. It is no
wonder that children often say
(when. tied) that they
`hate" the new baby.
As siblings grow older
together, new problems
Food stores changing to meet
consumer demands
Canadians' changing eating
and meal preparation habits
are having a revolutionary
effect on the nation's super-
markets.
It started with the prAifera-
tion of in-store bakeries and
deli counters. That was
followed by unprecedented
growth in therf ozen food
section as a huge variety of
upscale entrees joined tradi-
tional TV dinners. And now,
consumers' seemingly insa-
tiable demand for convenient
ways to get family meals on
the table in a hurry is making a
major impact on the dried
prepared food section.
Once almost an after-
thought in many super-
markets, the section that was
dominated by dried macaroni
and cheese dishes and basic
dinner helpQe�rs is the hottest
news in ttee grocery aisles.
Improvements in ingredients,
ppaackaging and technology, a
focus on convenience and
ethnic eating trends have all
contributed to the enhanced
appeal of dried, dinner helpers
and side dishes.
Alert to consumer demands
and growing trends, many of
the major food manufacturers
are introducing new products
of this kind.
-'Our research shows that
Canadians are looking for
products that make the task of
planning and preparing meals
las= and which offerarenter
variety and taste appeal," says
Michael Owen, Group Brands
Manager for Effem Foods
Effem has dust introduced
Exquisine, a line of six pasta
dishes that can be served as a
side dish or, with the addition
of other ingredients, as a main
meal. Featuring first quality
ingredients, interesting flavor
combinations and 80s names
like Four Cheese Rotini and
Tomato Marinara, Exquisine
is one of the major players that
are changing the face of our
supermarkets' convenience
food sectiones.
"As the baby boom genera-
tion grows older, premium
quality food that is easy to
prepare and is affordable to
serve to the family is in great
"demand," says Owen.
"Exquisine is a response to this
— and to the continuing
consumer demand for healthy,
nutritious foods like pasta."
emerge — fighting, scream-
ing, instigating, and teasing.
These behaviours are what
psychologists call sibling rival-
ry. Love and understanding
are essential elements in deal-
ing effectively with this rival-
ry. In an excellent book en-
titled "Siblings Without Rival-
ry: How to help your children
Rival-
.y:
together so you can live
too", Adele Faber and Elaine
Mazlish provide some
guidelines to help parents sur-
vive this "childhood" period.
To deal with these
problems, several points are
worth noting:
— Instead of denying nega-
tive feelings about a sibling,
acknowledge them. Forcing a
child to say that he loves his
baby sister will not change
what he truly feels.
— Understanding and discuss-
ing normal feelings of
jealousy and envy can help
children effectively deal with
them.
Stop hurtful behaviour ex-
hibited between siblings.
— Help children channel their
anger, frustration and nega-
live feelings into acceptable
verbal communication.
— Avoid both unfavourable
and favourable comparisons.
Focus instead on each child's
individuality.
— Show how each child is
loved uniquely, not equally.
While establishing limits,
parents have the ability to
model empathy. warmth. and
understanding. Parents must
allow for the positive release
of their children's hostility,
anger and envy in a socially
acceptable manner_ Effective
communication and active lis-
tening can help minimize
some of the problems that
could otherwise leave
psychological scars.

Last week I spent six busy days in the riding. It was great
to have the opportunity to meet new and familiar faces and
a chance to attend various events. I would like to share with
you some of the things I did last week.
On Thursday February 25, I attended the Durham
Manufacturers' Association dimer. It was the association's
fust crack at an international event and it was a great suc-
cess. John CrLvo, Professor at the University of Toronto,
was the guest speaker and gave a stirring speech on free
trade.
I had the pleastre of participating in the Pickering Place
Co-op sod turning ceremony. I have always been a strong
supporter of Coop Housing and I would like to wish Picker-
ing Place the greatest success on their new venture.
Sunday, Cecil and I atterhded the rededication service of
Trinity United Crouch in Uxbridge. This is a special year
for the congregation of Trinity United Church as they will
be celebrating their 100th anniversary.
The following day I wart to Pickering High School and
spoke to the students on numerous topics. I was impressed
with the quality of the qut moons asked and the discussions
which followed. I would also like to thank Mr. Mae Mitchell
for extending the invitation_
I finished off my week being the guest speaker at a dinner
meeting of the Wnwrien Chub of Whitby. I spoke to the
members of the free trade agreement and explained to
them why I fed that this agreement is by far the beast agree-
ment that Canada has ever entered into.
I have changed hats and I am now back in Ottawa. I look
forward to seeing you all again soon.

Report
from Norah Stoller
MPP Durham West
The Ontario Government is taking more action on its
commitment to enhance and expand services to senior
citizens wishing to continue living independently in their
own communities.
The Honourable Mavis Wilson, Minister for Senior
Citizens' Affairs recently announced details of a further in-
crease in provincial funding for home support services,
elderly persons' centres and Alzheuner programs.
The announcement was made on behalf of the Munster of
Community and Social Services.
Mrs. Wilson said effective January lust of this year, the
government has approved additional funding to expand
community support program.
The funding will reach $12.3 million a year by 1989-90. It's
in addition to the $7.9 million announced in January for fun-
ding formula enrichment.
In outlining how the additional money will be allocated,
Mrs. Wilson said, $5.3 million annually will be used to
enrich home support programs such as MeaL%-On-Wheels,
Friendly Visiting. Home Maintenance and Home Help.
A further $1.0 million a year will enable Senior Day pro-
gram, which support independent living, to expand to
more commu robes in the province.
"Po assist the elderly living in rural parts of Ontario, the
government has set aside $1.0 million annually to purchase
vans and provide associated operating funding for
transpottatim services,.. Mrs. Wilson said.
She pointed out that many rural comm robes have no
public transportation or have limited means at travel to
necessary services, and this initiative will greatly improve
the mobility of senior citizens.
In addition, $3.0 million in funding will go to enhance
development of Ahbeirner community support services.
This money a in addition to the fu ndit for Altbeimer pro-
granas which began two years ago.
Funds to support the development of 25 new elderly per-
sons' centres, to be phased in beginning this year, have also
been approved (Priority will be given to centres with pro-
grams and services that euhphasize a preventative, health
maintenance approach). An additional $2.0 million has
been approved to support the funding and operation of theme
centres in Ontario_
..We intrad to progressively expand and improve com-
munity sexvioes in aider to achieve a more uoifcrno
distribution across the province. Particular emphasis is be
lag placed on enriching the funding blase for home support
services and on developing a network of community sup
port services,- Mrs. Wilson said
