After 10 vears of a law called Bill 101 in the Province of Quebec the Supreme Court has finally declared it illegal. During this long time period nobody at Ottawa, whether Prime Minister Trudeau or Mulroney has seen fit to get ac- tion to kill this violation of human rights in Quebec. All around the world there is no law about what language to put on a sign, at least not that we are aware of. That is because no group is worried about perserving its language - they just do it Our federal government since Trudeau have been pushing "bilingualism" all across Canada. For the past few months press releases from Queen's Park now have French on the reverse side of English language ones. But not in Quebec where even the federal government offices answer the telephone in French only. In downtown Toronto federal government offices answer the phone in French first and English second. In our glorious land is French the first language" No, it is English and it is high time that English- speaking Canadians rise up in anger against those bigots in Quebec and Ottawa who are trving to make French the dominant language in this country. From a practical point of view young people in Quebec learn the English language to be able to compete in the world of business. Then at home or with friends they con- verse in French. lkl at is the problem? The Premier of Manitoba is correct in suspending debate on the Meech Lake agreement now. Why should Quebec get special treatment different than any other province? Are we not all Canadians? Come on Prime Minister Brian Mulroney - pull this coun- try together and make a stand - we dare you to speak for all of Canada instead of just Quebec. Nous sommes canadieris' Christmas Is it Christmas that comes singing Down the saw -enchanted street? Or is it sleighbells ringing - Is it sleighbelis in the street? Is it Christmas istmas that comes bringing Wisps of memory half lost'. Or children's voices singing. Far. and near, and bright with frost . . Or is it giving love and comfort to the needy. French Health Centre Metro Toronto will get its first French -language coir- munity health centre. Health :Minister Elinor Caplan has announced. The ministry will provide $1.3 million in annual operating funding when Centre Medico -Social Com- munautaire is fully operational. in about three years. Services will be provided by family doctors, nurses and specialists will be hired on a contract basis to provide pediatric, gynecology and orthopedic services. Physiotherapy. occupational therapy and counselling ser- vices will also be provided. Health education and health promotion will be emphasized. There are an estimated 70.000 French-speaking residents in Metro. By the third year of operation, the centre expects to serve about 6,000 patients annually.

(Ken Smith photo) 30 Wheelchairs & Walkers To Columbia At a time when most Metro hospitals are preoc- cupied with provincial mat- ters that focus on operating deficits, Providence Villa and Hospital took time out for a little global cons- cience. chronic c� boronare h -b l i l y donated 30 wheelchairs and walkers to the Government of Colombia and, in the words of its Consul General. Eduardo Osorio )►luno¢. "benefitted the Col- ombian people who are in need". The program was the brainchild of occupational therapist. Theresa Bedoya. herself a native of Bogata, Colombia's capital. Theresa and her colleagues on Providence's Wheelchair Committee knew that the somewhat outdated apparati con- sisting of manual and elec- tric wheelchairs and walkers could benefit the poor of this developing na- tion. The chairs were no longer of use to the patients or residents of PVH since the foot rests were im- mobile and could cause serous injury to the aged. "We knew that the major problem would be in transportation," Bedoya said during a brief ceremony that marked the donation. "Once I ap- proached the Consul General be took up the pro- ject with enthusiasm. Even the Colombian president's wife was supporting the scheme to ensure the safe delivery of the goods to the people in most need." .'Our own staff made sure the wheelchairs were in good working order before we delivered them to the Consul General and be was clearly thrilled with the gift,., Bedoya added. "It was very gratifying for me to see the chairs go to the needy of my home country.' In his remarks to the donors, the Consul General said "we recognize the ef- forts of Mrs. Bedoya and all the officer who have collaborated on this dona- tion. We thank them for their generous actions.•. Bedoya noted that a careful count was made of the donation and that per- sonal contacts in Colombia will ensure that all goods are delivered to the ap- propriate recipients in CoI- embia. .......... Bob's Notes .........- --•---- --------•-•--- ---•------- ----------- -=f Pre -Teen Bible The American Bible Society has announced publication of "Good '.News Travels Fast,.. the third publication in a new translation which, in six years' time, will give 5-9 year olds a complete bible of their own. The 133 -page book, which follows publication last spring of "Lute Tells the Good News of Jesus,.. contains the Book of Acts. the fifth book in the usual New Testament canon. Acts is also attributed to the author of Luke's Gospel. In the Acts of the Apostles, Luke tells how the good news of Jesus Christ, whose life and message he recounts in the Gospel. was taken throughout the world by His followers after His death an the cross. ABS emphasizes that the series is a new translation in words that young 5-9 year olds can understand, not a retell- ing of Bible stories or a reworking of an existing English version. Bible Society translators turned to the original Greek texts to erasure authenticity. Good News Travels Fast" is charmingly and colorfully illustrated throughout. and there are helpful notes as well as maps of Paul's jou r neymp. ABS calls this new version the Translation for Early Youth, or the TEY Version. Next publication in the TEY Bible series, due out towards the end of 1989, is provocatively titled "A Few Who Dare To Trust God". It tells about such great biblical figures as Abraham, Moses, Huth, Elijah, Mary, Peter and Paul. Sales Up In November "'Ile strong real estate market Toronto has been ex- penencwg during 1988 shows no sign of slowing down,.. Ed- ward Hou, President of the Toronto Real Estate Board has announced. TREB Members reported 3,9Z MLS residential sales in !November, up five percent from 3.744 in October. and up 36 percent from 2,889 during the same month last year.

Constructed by Pickering employees to be shared with the surrounding community, the facilities are built inside the one kilometre exclusion zone around the station. The ex- clusion zone is the area within one kilometre of any reactor building. There are now four baseball diamonds on the site, and work is almost complete on five new soccer fields. Winter First Aid Winter is here again, along with the ice and snow of the season. Most Cana- dians have learned to live with winter, spending many enjoyable hours on the ski slopes, the back of a toboggan, or just walking in the crisp air. But we could all live a little better if we learn to recognize their hazards of the season and know what to do in winter emergencies, according to St. John Ambulance. Many winter injuries are minor, like the bruises and bumps of a skating party. Others, though, are more serious. Frostbite, hypothermia and major fractures are all products of the season that require proper treatment to keep them from becoming more serious, says St. John Am- . Besides hypothermia and frostbite, winter weather can lead to carbon monox- ide poisoning. Often, car- bon monoxide poisoning is due simply to carelessness or laziness. Not bothering to open the garage door on a cold morning when you start the car can fill the room with deadly fumes that go unnoticed until it is too late. If you have to sit in a run- ning car for an extended period. keep the window open a little to ensure that there is fresh air in the car. A person who is suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning will be confused, disoriented or even un- conscious. Without prompt treatmeW. respiratory and cardiac arrest will occur. The victim should be mov- ed into fresh air and ar- tificial respiration started immediately if breathing has stopped. Before entering a gas- filled room breathe in and out several times and then take a deep breath and hold it- Get in and out of the room quickly and remember to keep close to the floor because carbon monoxide is lighter than air. This year, be prepared for winter and the hazards of the season. In only four hours, the St. John Am- bulance '•Lifesaver" course will teach you what to do when breathing stops. how to handle a choking vicitim, haw to control serious bleeding, how to care for an unconscious person, and what to do in the case of poisoning.

Scarborough Fire Department Chid Thomas L. Powell trges the public to exercise care in the set- ting up and decorating of Christmas trees and draws your attention to the follow- ing safety tips - Don't purchase a tree that has dried out. A tree that has dried out cannot regain its moisture level. Test twigs and needles to see that they are not brit- tle. Store the tree outside till it is used and if this is not possible recut the butt and keep immersed in water. When the tree is erected recut the butt diagonally, stand the tree in water and maintain water supply above the bevel of the cut. Set the tree up away from sources of beat like a fire place, television set or heat duct. Be sure the tree does not block access to doss or windows in the event of a fire. Use of a fire retardant chemical spray on yotr tree is no substitute for butt immersion and is not recommended by this department. Check your strings of electric lights for frayed cords or damaged insula- tion which might cause short circuits. Remember to buy only lighting sets bearing the Canadian Stan- dards Association label and use iron -flammable decora- tions. Switch off tree lights before leaving the home or going to bed. Do not allow discarded gift wrappings or other combustible materials under the tree. The chid asks urs to especially remember to keep an eye on little children at this time of the year. Never lave them abate for an instant no mat- ter tow strong the tempta- tion to pay a short visit to a neighbour or to make a last minute purchase.

Dec. 21, IM Bill Watt's Worlds ,ON SCREEN: Opening today in Toron- to, New York and Los Angeles to qualify for Oscar nominations is the Warner Brothers motion picture "Dangerous Liaisons". It is an excellent film and most highly recommended by your cor- respondent. Permit us, however, to qualify that recommenda- tion by stating that it's not ,good holiday viewing. Yuletide is for thoughts of love and redemption, not hatred and villainy. Oh, there's love in "Dangerous Liaisons" and redemption of a sort but they are almost drowned in a pool of wickedness. Set in pre -revolutionary :France it tells, with some literary licence, the true story of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont. Both are dissolute and villainous. Together they contrive to bring about the humiliation of others simply to gratify the wounded vanity of one of them. Morally the only good thing about "Dangerous Liaisons" is that she is humiliated in the end by her love for him and he achieves some measure of redemption with his death over love of another. Heavy stuff and, we think, not for this time of year. That said, let us wax enthusiastic over the per- formances and the produc- tion. Glenn Close, looking remarkably like Lynne Gordon, is superb as the icily passionate and pas- sionately icy Marquise. With a smile she can evoke lust; with a lifted eyebrow, a back alley desire to strike her. It's a bravura perfor- mance and Miss Close evokes a much younger Bette Davis without ever Indulging in the latter's sometimes overdone histrionics. Her co-star John Malkovich matches her in evil. As a man, we find only one fault with his casting in the role of ravisher; he's so homely that one wonders what women could see in him. Still, Casanova was not a handsome man with his bug eyes .

We were not kind to her and her performance in the ridiculous Tequila Sunrise and regret that after seeing her in a role suitable for her undoubted talents. She can do more with the quiver of her chin or a quickly averted look than many actresses with six pages of dialogue. There seems little doubt that Miss Close will receive an Oscar nomination; there will be no justice at all if Miss Pfeiffer doesn't win the award for best sup- porting acbvss. "Dangerous Liaisons" is a sumptuous production that will please many with its visual delights and wonderful score from the classics. The play is the thing though and it is given full measure in this produc- tion. We still fed, however, that Yuletide is not the time to enjoy it. The dark days of February would be better.

By now you'll have read that Aladdin stars Ross Petty, Karen Kain, Jeff Hyslop and Bruno Gerussi. A late addition to the cast is David Roxander, long a crowd pleaser with the Na- tional Ballet. It's good to have him back in T.O. if on- ly briefly. We understand that seats are still available. Go see Aladdin. Make yourself young again. IN PRINT: It's still not too late to do some Christmas shopping - we know some people who haven't even started yet - and here are some more books for your considera- tion. Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel (Pantheon) is a title that requires some ex- planation. In 1932/33 the NBC Blue Network (ah memories!) presented a show about a crooked lawyer and his bumbling assistant. It was titled Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel. Attorneys at Law. The show lasted just one season and the air - checks. if any, were lost. A year or so ago, however, the scripts were discovered and they have been kwuig- ly collected and put together in this volume. Now many will find it funny picturing or hearing in the mind's memory the delivery of Groucho and Chico. Just as many will find it funny simply reading the lunatic lines.

Bill Watt's Worlds CtNt WW liw Page 6 ourself having to be careful not to move our lips while reading it in the subway. Even at that we couldn't help laughing or chuckling aloud several times rather much, we imagine, to the amusement of other passengers. It's a funny, funny book and we imagine it could make for great party fun having guests read the lines. Our only criticism is that the names of the cast members are not given. It would be interesting to know if Santos Ortega played one of the roles; one that seems to have been written with him in mind Oh yes, there are some great photographs as well. Sardi's Bar Guide (Ballantine) is not to be compared with Gavin Duf- fy which is the bar guide against which all others are measured. Even so it's a welcome edition to one's collection of books about life's pressures. It's written by Vincent Sardi with George Shea and most of the recipes are standard. What makes the book enjoyable are the anecdotes of Mr. Sardi gleaned over his many years with the best known of all New York restaurants. (Broadway performers still retire on opening night for breakfast at Sardi's while awaiting the first reviews in the morning papers.) Mr. Sardi reveals that it's easy to spot Republicans and Democrats. The former measure their drinks; the latter just pour. By that criterion, the bartenders at Sardi's are Democrats. Interesting to note, too, Wt, as we have long suspected, the Bloody Mary is named after the character in South Pacific; she was not named after the drink. (We can't resist ping along a Monty Woolley story that isn't in the book. It seems that he once asked for a glass of tomato juice without the vodka. An acquaintance passing by asked him what he was drinking. Responded Mr. Woolley "A bloody awful". Sardi's Bar Guide is more than just another col- lection of recipes, celebrity or otherwise; its an enter- taining experience. EN CASSETTE: Between the Tides Roger Eno ( Opal ) might be just the thing to put on your' cassette player while in a post digestive torpor after Christmas din- ner. These are original corn - positions played in a man- ner rather like an amalgam of latter day chamber music and palm court music. Slow and measured in execution, the music has a quiet soothing effect on one. Well, we might as well admit it; we found it rather soporific and weren't even listening to it after dinner. Come to think of it, there could be a subliminally calming effect on the children. Well, it's worth a try. NOT SO FAST EXIT: In this last column before Christmas pray allow us to quote these words of Joseph Addison in Spec- tator circa 1700. "I have often thought .. it happens very well that Christmas should fall out in the middle of winter." How true, how very, very true. Merry Christmas everyone.

Stage Band The Pearson Stage Band has just completed five benefit concerts for the Hugh MacMillan Medical Centre and raised just over $1,000 for the centre's music therapy program. Congratulations to all con- cerned for a great job done and a very worthwhile endeavour. Remembering you is like the presence Of a black death band, prolongs my mourning. Your loss is without a consoling sense - Asking God for the answer I'm yearning. Summer's gentle breezes grew with our love. Fall's long walks and talks, while days fell like leaves. We shared hopes and dreams and thanked God above. Winter's evenings by the fire, my heart grieves. Then came spring, time of life, but it brought death's The accident. Endless days by your side. Struggling to say "I love you", your last breath. The pain of that hour returns like the tide. We had dreamed of eternal love ahead; Then all love in me died by your death bed. by Kristen Boyer Lester B. Pearson Collegiate When/... When I loved you; I lost you. When I saw light; it darkened When I needed you; you weren't there When I cried; I had no shoulder. When I died; it wasn't fair. Jenni Toth Pearson C. I. 17 yrs. Bill Watt's Worlds CtNt WW liw Page 6 ourself having to be careful not to move our lips while reading it in the subway. Even at that we couldn't help laughing or chuckling aloud several times rather much, we imagine, to the amusement of other passengers. It's a funny, funny book and we imagine it could make for great party fun having guests read the lines. Our only criticism is that the names of the cast members are not given. It would be interesting to know if Santos Ortega played one of the roles; one that seems to have been written with him in mind Oh yes, there are some great photographs as well. Sardi's Bar Guide (Ballantine) is not to be compared with Gavin Duf- fy which is the bar guide against which all others are measured. Even so it's a welcome edition to one's collection of books about life's pressures. It's written by Vincent Sardi with George Shea and most of the recipes are standard. What makes the book enjoyable are the anecdotes of Mr. Sardi gleaned over his many years with the best known of all New York restaurants. (Broadway performers still retire on opening night for breakfast at Sardi's while awaiting the first reviews in the morning papers.) Mr. Sardi reveals that it's easy to spot Republicans and Democrats. The former measure their drinks; the latter just pour. By that criterion, the bartenders at Sardi's are Democrats. Interesting to note, too, Wt, as we have long suspected, the Bloody Mary is named after the character in South Pacific; she was not named after the drink. (We can't resist ping along a Monty Woolley story that isn't in the book. It seems that he once asked for a glass of tomato juice without the vodka. An acquaintance passing by asked him what he was drinking. Responded Mr. Woolley "A bloody awful". Sardi's Bar Guide is more than just another col- lection of recipes, celebrity or otherwise; its an enter- taining experience. EN CASSETTE: Between the Tides Roger Eno ( Opal ) might be just the thing to put on your' cassette player while in a post digestive torpor after Christmas din- ner. These are original corn - positions played in a man- ner rather like an amalgam of latter day chamber music and palm court music. Slow and measured in execution, the music has a quiet soothing effect on one. Well, we might as well admit it; we found it rather soporific and weren't even listening to it after dinner. Come to think of it, there could be a subliminally calming effect on the children. Well, it's worth a try. NOT SO FAST EXIT: In this last column before Christmas pray allow us to quote these words of Joseph Addison in Spec- tator circa 1700. "I have often thought .. it happens very well that Christmas should fall out in the middle of winter." How true, how very, very true. Merry Christmas everyone. Party time and jewelry a great ,mix for the holiday season This holiday wa,,-n, the hot new word in accessone% is fashion jewel"_ During the festive time of year. dressing f 'r even occasion —from elegant dinner parties to less formal get together — calls for a vaned assortment of jewelry to give your wardrobe an eye-catching new look every time. With a stainnutg outfit and carefully chosen jewelry, you arc sure to be a "hit of the party". To enhance a shat. sleek black party dress, art - deco inspired jewelry with black enamel and crystal col- lars set in gold adds a so- phisticated touch to evening wear. Geometrically styled bold bracelets. pins and car - rings all accentuate the shapes of this season's slim. body conscious and daring holiday dresses. For a more romantic and fem mine bolt in jewelry that's ideal with a hla,ktuii length gown or a pink tattcta dress, sensuous drop eamng%, delicate crystal hi -w pin, and triple strand pearl necklaces are the newest touches. And pearl and crystal combina- tions set in gold o silver en- liven richly textured holiday fabrics with a glamorous eve- aiagspark le. During the holiday season, women want to look their best while either attending or host- ing parties and having the right accessories like jewelry can turn a plain dress into a spectacular one." says Peter tS udnicki. Canadian General Manager of Monet kwelry, a world leader in fashion jewelry. "This season, we're seeing two especially strong looks — classic sophisticated and a softer romantic elc- gancc. Black an cl crystal Jcwelry will be particularly big for the holiday season." Watch For CSA On TV Cooking in the kitchen can be a dangerous activi- ty. According to the latest figures available from the Fire Commissioner of Canada, in 1916 cooking equipment accounted for nearly 9,000 fires. Those fires resulted m some $54 million in property losses, 700 injuries and 47 deaths across the country. CSA and your local Erre depai trnent would like to see a dramatic drop in these statistics. CSA has produced a new TV public service announcement on kitchen grease fires, and is cooperating with provin- cial I territorial fire mar- shals and fire commts- sio hers to promote safe cooking practices and pro- cedures. Viewers are en- ocuraged to call their local emergency number should a grease fire get out of con- troll. oo-troll. The public service an- nouncement is one of a series produced by CSA and released to television stations across Canada.

When buying new Christmas lights, loon for the CSA mark. It protects you from fire and shock hazards. Before using any lights or electric decoration, check all wiring, sockets and plugs for fraying, cracks or loose connec- tions. If at all in doubt, replace old sets - Be sure to check that bulb reflectors have insula- tion, consisting of either plastic or another non- metallic material, placed between the lamp and the metal part of the reflector. (Reflectors, which fit around the bulbs, require CSA certification. The reflector is often sold with the Christmas light string.) Do not plug lights into a circuit already burdened with lamps and appliances. If a normal circuit can- not take several sets of tree lights, do not replace the fuse with one of a higher �Neevverr leave a bulb socket empty for small fingers to explore.

Place extension cards so as not to present a tripp- ing hazard. Do not allow a cord to become trapped under ap- pliances or heavy furniture which might result in crushing of the cord. OUTDOOR LJGHTING Use only equipment that has been designed for tem- porary outdoor use. Again, look for the CSA mark for protection from fire and shock hazards. When working with out- door wiring be sure to turn off the electricity. Use only electrical cords designed for exposure to weather. Rum the cords above the ground, if possi- ble, draped over wooden stakes high enough to keep them out of pines and snow. Do not use metallic fastening devices, such as nails or tacks, to hold str- ings of outdoor lights in place. Use insulated tape to attach electrical cords to buildings. Be careful not to tape the cords over or along metal eavestroughs, or use insulated staples and be careful not to pierce the wire insulation. Tape all plug connections with plastic electrical tape making them as watertight as possible. To prevent moisture from entering bulb sockets, have the bulb facing the ground. All outdoor lighting should be plugged into ground fault protected cir- cuits. Outdoor Christmas lights are not designed to be left out all year. They should be brought in after the season is over and carefully in- spected before being stored until the following year. J.E.

Roses Inc., representing Canada's Rose Growers, devised a special quiz to test your knowledge on Christmas customs around the world. Read on and see how many correct answers you can score. 1) There's a country where kids don't know about Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve they wait for an old woman on a broomstick to give them presents. What is she call- ed and from what country does she come? 2) In Belgium and the Netherlands, people would gasp if they saw Santa Claus on a sleigh pulled by eight reindeers. How does St- Nicholas travel about in these countries? 3) In another country. peo- ple would shudder if so- meone brought an evergreen tree into the house on Christmas. in- stead of the tree. wild flowers are used as seasonal decorations. Why. and in what coun- try? 4) Christmas can be a solemn holiday as well as a joyful one, particularly for adults. Italy and Spain are two countries where some grownups don't think singing joyous Christmas carols is the only way to celebrate the holiday. How do they celebrate? s) For centuries it has been Season's Greetin0"vry Best Wishes for a healthy and prosperous 1989 Bob Hicks M.P. Scarborough East 439-9552 Traditions Of Christmas a custom in Canada to have a symbol or token of Christmas spotlighted in a place of honour in your home. What are some of those symbols and where are they placed? 6) The custom of giving gifts for Christmas is believed to have grown from a different holiday that was celebrated before Christ was born. What holiday and in what country did this celebra- tion take place? 7) All of us know that a Christmas tree would not be decorated properly 'without twinkling lights. In one country, however, flowers are used to decorate the tree. What is the traditional flower of this country and how is it used to decorate the tree and around the home? 8) The generous spirit of Christmas is reflected in one country by Christmas dinner. Custom in this country dictates that you W one more place at the dinner table than the number of guests who are corning to dine. That way, even an unexpected guest will find a place and a meal for himself. In what country does this tradi- tion exist? 9) Where was the first Christmas tree used? 10) St- Nicholas gives good children presents, but bad children get a whipp. ing with a birch switch in one country. Where is this custom still practised to- day? These Christmas puzzles all have relatively easy answers so read on and see bow well you did. 1) Children from all around the world love the gifts and the special plans associated with Christmas- In every na- tion children celebrate the holidays with tradi- tional customs. Canaan children leave milk and cookies by the fur for Santa Clause. Dutch children in Holland fill their wooden shoes with roses so as to please the old woman called "UBefi ia". "IaBefina" makes her Christmas rides on a broomstick, laving presents for good children and ashes in the shoes of bad ones. 2 ) In Belgium and the Netherlarlds. St. Nicholas rides a white horse in- stead of travelling with reindeer and a sleigh. 3) In swedes, wild flowers were flowers grown in so- meone's garden. The most popular and colour- ful floral choice of most Swedes were roses. Oftentimes irises and fresh holly were also us- ed. Picking fresh roses and other flowers this December may be somewhat difficult, depending on where you live and the climate. By making a personal visit to your neighbourhood florist you can choose from a wide variety of fresh roses, and seasonal flowers and plants. Whether you live in a small apartment or a large home your florist can design an arrange- ment of roses and holiday greenery to fit your living room, kitchen, bedroom or entry hallway. Remember it is best to order early for top quality blooms at a reasonable price. 4) Devout Catholics in Italy and Spain often observe a day -long fast which begins at sunset on December 23. 5) Many families have a beloved Madonna and Child - a print, a painting or perhaps an old icon or triptych they bring out during the Christmas season. It's a happy custom that tells the true meaning of Christma. A fitting way to accent such a Madonna and give it the prominence it deserves in Your home is with an ar- rangement of fresh roses, long needled pine or hol- ly. To ensure a truly beautiful effect, take the Madonna to your florist and let him design an ar- rangement that will best compliment it. He will know just the right number and colour of rases fitting the piece. 6) The custom of giving gifts for Christmas dates back to the ancient Roman Mid -Winter Festival. 7) In the country of Austria fresh roses placed in water tubes were used to decorate the tree. hoses when placed on the tree were felt to symbolize the birth of life and the rewards of a new year.

At this time of year many of us will attend family gather- ings or get-togethers with old friends where alcohol will be served. If you get behind the wheel of a car after you've been drinking, you may spoil the party for yourself - and others. I urge you, don't drink and drive. The number of police units assigned to random vehicle spot checks is increased over the Christmas and New Year period as part of Ontario's successful Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) Program. For the fust time in the history of RI.D.E. the Ontario Provincial Police, Durham Regional Police, Metro Toronto Police and Peel and York Regional Police are joining forces to Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere through the ef- forts of the Co-ordinated Traffic Management Groin. Through this cooperation, more drivers will be stopped this holiday season than ever before. This year's campaign includes an advertising poster depicting a police cruiser, ambulance, taxi and bus under the caption "Who are you going to R.I.D.E. with tonight?". This spring, Solicitor General Joan Smith fulfilled Premier David Peterson's promise to enhance RI.D.E. making the program a "year round province wide reality" Since the enhanced program started in April of this year, Ontario Provincial Police RI.D.E. units check approx- imately 50,000 vehicles every week, charging an average of 96 motorists with alcohol related criminal code driving of- fences and issuing 234 12 -hour suspensions. In addition, the Ministry of the Sohicitw General initiated direct funding to Ontario police fomes in support of the R_LD.E. program. Municipalities were asked to apply for funding to cover costs such as staff overtime, equipment purchases and the promotion of enforcement activities. ThfceM nistrythe p�dedicated $2 million in the current fecal Commenting on the initiative, Mrs. Smith said that "the (R I. D. E) price tag isn't small - either in dollars or in human terms - but it's a price worth paying when you con- sider oo-sider the tragic toil exacted by impaired drivers, the lives lost or limited, the families that are sbattemd" Mrs. Smith calculates that her Ministry will have spent approximatdy $14 million on RLD.E. related activities by the end of the government's 19fi-90 fiscal year. During last year's Festive Season. the eight went R.I.D.E. program stopped more and charged fewer. The fgpff-es are encouraging, but they do not signal an end to the problem- "We are making gains,.. said rubs. Smith, "but alcohol remains one of the most significant fac- tors in fatal motor vehicle accidents." On behalf of myself and my family, I wish you and ymn a safe and happy hohiday season.
