High School
Notes
by Tom Docherty
This past week at Dun-
barton was one of the most
important dates in the
school year for graduating
students. Last Friday was
the last day to send Ontario
university application
forms to the Ontario
Universities' Application
Centre in Guelph.
Each student is entitled
to three choices of Ontario
universities they would like
to attend next fall. In
February, an amendment
form is sent back to
students to make any
necessary changes to the
application. In April,
semiester one marks and
mid-term semester two
marks are sent with the ap-
plication to the student's
desired universities. It is a
common misconception
that the application goes
directly to the universities.
It actually goes only a a
central computer in Guelph
and is sorted. It costs $18 to
have this done so the
universities can get the ap-
plication without any
Another event was "'lite
Great Cookie Crusade",
which ended Mon. Dec. 3rd.
Dunbarton students were
asked to sell boxes of Selec-
tion creme cookies as part
of a fundraiser for the
school.. Money raised goes
towards new bleachers for
the football field. We would
like to thank those who sup-
ported Dunbarton High,
and won't those cookies be
a special treat this
Christmas!
In conjunction with the
Cootie Crusade the Student
Activity Council held a
"milk chug -a -lug" contest
in the cafeteria. Relay
teams battled against each
other to see which team
could get each member to
guzzle their milk down,
finish a cookie and whistle
in rapid succession first. It
was pretty rowdy, but a lot
of fun to watch.

Down With High Rates
W. Bob Watson
Well, if am' of our readers are gets ing ready to sign up for
a new mortgage at around 13% per annum and find this
results in monthly payments that are much higher, join the
group'
We have been unable to understand why even a slow -
thinking man like :Michael Wilson can't comprehend that
his concentration on holding the inflation rate down creates
chaos in the small business and personal world of most
Canadians.
However, now that we have heard from former Tory
cabinet minister Sinclair Stevens about the secret deal to
keep our dollar value high for the benefit of Americans. it
seems more understandable although we disagree strongly
With keeping interest rates high and our dollar high com-
pared to the U.S. dollar.
We still believe our econommy would improve rapidly if
Mr. Crow of the Bank of Canada would announce that the in-
terest rate is going down one percent each week until it is

Native Self -Government
by Bob Watson
We don't agree with the native peoples wi'ren they say that
they want all the "goodies" from the Canadian society. can
work and earn money in this society and not pay income
taxes. Then they want sovereign tights to a lot of Canadian
land - most of it from what we can glean - as well as rni (lions
of dollars and, of course. continue with the lovely extra
where their children go to university free'
During the last provincial election Progressive Conser-
vative leader. Mike Harris came up with the right idea for
so-called "sovereignty.. when he said that the native people
should have the same autthonty over their reserves as local
government does for the main body of Canadians.
This doesn't quite fit in with the native peoples %sew
which is to have complete control of their lives but also live
on the cash (which we don't have) that the rest of tis supply
to the federal and provincial governments via taxes.
However, this is the best deal, in our optruon, that native
peoples can expect. But please don't ask for more deals like
the one the Mulroney government gave to the Intuit in
January of 110,000 hectare of land plus M million'

Bear Editor,
I note with interest the campaign to rid the (Sty of Scar-

suggests, it cannot be complimentary.
Now what about an attempt to monitor the aesthetic ap-

Eight reasons
for delaying the GST
By Terry oSAtaug nessy
The furious debate over the
federal government's proposed
Goods and Services Tax has.
at time, threatened to overtake
the bottom -lite opposition
surrounding this tax. But with
the GST implementation date
(Jan. 1. 1991) drawing ever
closer this opposition has taken
on a new urgmcy as Canadians,
feeling completely alienated
from their government, face
the daunting prospect of this
complok and costly new tax.
Catherine Swift, vice presi-
dent and chief economist of
the Canadian Federation of
Independent Business, says
that the difficulties created
by the severely -flawed GST
are convincing arguments to
delay the fast -approaching
implementation.
"The combination of a bad
tax at a bad time," says Swift,
..will be so debilitating, the
government should quickly
realize that a delay is the only
course of action."
Swift puts forth the follow-
ing reasons for delaying the GSI`.
1) There must be further
federal/provincial negotiations
towards a joint tax collection
and revenue-sharing agreement
(similar to that which took
place in Quebec) before the
complex GST can be considered
workable;
2) The economy must be
stabilized. As the country enters
a recession compounded by
high interest rates and a high
dollar, the GST will only serve
to farther dampen consumer
spending. The federal govern-
ment must lower both interest
rates and the dollar so that
the shock of the GST's intro-
duction can be more easily
absorbed:
3) Cash register chaos must
be minimized. Thousands
of small businesses will be
scrambling to obtain new sys-
tems or make major modifica-
tions to their current systems in
order to be able to compute a
provincial saks tax on top of the
federal GST The cash register
industry has already said that
their simply isn't enough time
for all small businesses to make
the necessary modifications
before Jan. 1, 1991;
4) The new federal bureauc-
racy that will be created by the
GST will be very difficult to
eliminate if other provinces Later
want to harmonize and collect
a new combined tax;
5) There are a number of
court challenges regarding the
GST which won't reach the
Supreme Court until March
1991. Should the challenges go
against the GST, the interna-
tional money market's response
to Canada could be extremely

Lambion generating station celebrates 30 'r9
December, 19M marked a milestone for the Lambton
thermal generating station near Sarnia. The station
celebrated its 20th anniversary of producing electricity for
the people of Ontario. It is planned that Lambton will con-
tinue providing power for at knst another 2D years, so the
station is in the middle of its lifespan.
Since Lambton first began producing electricity in 1969,
the station has played a significant role in meeting the
needs of its Ontario customers. L.ambton's four
50D -megawatt units were the first 500 megawatt units in-
stalled in Canada. At full power, Lambton can produce
enough electricity to meet the requirements over one
million Ontario homes.
Lambton is now being prepared for the installatwe of On-
tano's first two scrubbers (equipment that removed
sulphur oxides from gases). 7be scrubbers are to be
operating at Lambton units 3 and 4 beginning in 1984.
October Home Sales Down
The aggregated number of residential sales fell 28.2 per-
cent in Canada's 25 metropolitan centres during the month
compared to the level recorded the previous year, says The
Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).
Increase in Forecast of Private Power Con-
tribution
Hydro has increased its forecast of the amount of elec.
tricity it expects to be able to buy from private power pro
ducers in the next ten years.
President Robert Franklin said Hydro now est imates that
by the end of the century private sources will be able to pro
duce at least 2,1ou megawatts. This represents a 3D percent
increase over previous estimates and means most of new,
electrical supplies (not including the Darlington
Generating Station) in Ontario during the next decade will
come from private sources.

Debate Brimley Rd. Speed Limits At Metro Council Committee
On Thurs. Nov. 29th at
Metro's Transportation
Committee meeting Scar-
borough Councillor
Marilyn Mushinski and
Doreen Z. Howe, President
of the Donwood Park Com-
munity Association ap-
peared before the commit-
tee to argue against a pro-
posed Metro resolution to
change the 50 kmh speed
limit from Ellesmere Rd.
and Lawrence Ave. E. to 60
kmh to make it the same
for all of Brimley Rd.
A resident, Mr.
Copeland, emphasized that
Brimley Rd. is all residen-
tial and Mr. Mark said that
some councillors suggest
that we should move if we
don't like it. He also said
those who live opposite
Brimorton Plaza have an
advantage as some refer to
it as "their parking lot".
Metro wants to prohibit
parking on the west side of
Brimley Rd. between
Ellesmere Rd. and
Lawrence E. at any time
except Saturdays, Sundays
and public holidays.
As well Metro wants
parking to be prohibited on
the east side of Brimley
Rd. between Lawrence
Ave. E. and a point 152
metres north and between
a point 775 metres north of
Lawrence Ave. E. and
Ellesmere Rd. at any time
except Saturdays, Sundays
and public holidays.
Parking is also to be pro-
hibited on the east side of
Brimley Rd. between a
point 152 metres north of
Lawrence Ave. E. and a
point 775 metres north of
Lawrence E. from 7 a. m. to
7 p.m. except Saturdays,
Sundays and public
holidays.
Metro Councillor Bob
,Sanders said he drives to
Metro along Brimley Rd.
and feels that the 50 kmh
speed limit should be kept
and further feels that the
restriction on parking
should only be during rush
hours.
Tie votes killed the pro-
posed changes to parking
and the speed limit and so
the committee will report
to Metro Council on Dec.
19th that it feels that the
situation should be left as it
is.

Bill Watt's Worlds
DINNER THEATRE:
Season's Greetings, the
current presentation at
Stage West Theatre
Restaurant, is an ap-
propriately titled and
singularly well chosen holi-
day attraction.
Written by the prolific
Alan Ayckbourn, the
British Neil Simon (or is it
vice versa?). it offers
rather more farce than the
playwright's usual glossy
insight -one has the suspi-
cion of pot boiterism-but is
none the worse for it.
Set in England -the
Midlands one presumes
because of the accents -
Greetings offers the wacky
goings on of an affluent
family from Christmas
Eve through to Dec. 27th.
The characters are the
man of the house, his wife,
her sister. his sister, that
sister's husband• a family
friend, his pregnant wife, a
writer guest and the man of
the louse's uncle.
The last named is played
by Bernard Fox who is the
nominal star and certain
draw. Mr. Fox is probably
best known for his role as
Dr. Bombay on the Bewit-
ched television show. In
Season's Greetings his role
is that of a middle aged
man who has spent a
lifetime in security work
and has the natural suspi-
cion of all such types.
We've all met them.
In one scene, for exam -
Oe. he surprises one of the
couples in a coupling man-
qu6e. Neither is married to
the other but instead of be-
ing morally outraged, Un-
cle Harvey is more con-
cerned that they might
have been rifling the
presents under the tree.
Got the idea now?
It's not a difficult role but
the temptation towards ex-
cess must be fought off.
Mr. Fox does so, possibly
aided by the workmanlike
direction of reliable Ron
Ulrich, and succeeds in a
fine comic portrait.
Nigel Bennett, a
lookalike for the late Gor-
don Jackson, is all amiable
observer rather more in-
terested in electrical
gadgets than in his wife.
Elizabeth Richardson as
the wife is understated
frustration while Judv
Leigh -Johnson is eviderit
sexual frustration as her
spinster sister. June Garba
is a walking nvmpho mar-
ried to a twit of a doctor
played by Guy Bannerman.
Derek Boves is amiable
Eddie, best friend of the
man of the house and pret-
ty Peggy Caffey is along as
his not too bright but happi-
ly pregnant wife.
Anthony Bekenn is Clive,
the visiting writer who
finds himself the physical
magnet for three of the four
worsen. All are sexually
aggressive in varying
degrees. one because she
has plenty of sex but wants
more. one because her in-

tervals of coitus are

minute wonder. Like
everything else in our
lives'." -and the last
because she has never
entered the temple of
Hymen.
Now, we've listed the
cast members very quickly
and with little comment
because little is needed. All
perform well and work
beautifully together but it
is the play, silly and in-
consequential as it might
be, that carries the day.
There are many comic
and downright hilarious
moments, so many that
they cannot all be listed
here. However, one must
mention the scene where
the twittish doctor is
rehearsing his puppet show
intended as a holiday treat
for the children. He is so in-
ept yet so serious about it
all that one is almost con-
vulsed. And, for extra
pleasure in the scene,
watch the reactions of the
other performers, par-
ticularly Bernard Fox.
Oh, and we can't con-
clude a review of Stage
West without mentioning at
least one of the buffet
specials. This time it's
Fillet of Red Snapper. We
have the recipe for anyone
who wants to contact us in
care of which ever paper in
which you're reading this.

PLUS:
Season's Greetings is go-
ing to be presented an New
Year's Eve as part of a
special package that in-
cludes the show, two buffet
servings, dancing and
overnight accommodation
(optwW) with breakfast
in the spanking new and
luxurious Stage West all -

Great way to bring in the
New Year.

with them he is still dif

ON SCREEN:
We have tried very hard
to say something less than
deprecatory about Bernar-
do Bertolucci's latest,
cinematic excess. It's titled
The Sheltering Sky and is
supposed to be profound,
we think.
Let us be profound then

So many items, so little
space.
The Harris Institute for
the Performing Arts has its
first graduation ceremony
and celebration tomorrow.
Congratulations and conti-
nuing best wishes to this
excellent organization
mentioned here a year ago
upon its opening.
The International
Christmas Fair opens this
Friday and runs through
Sundav at the International
Centre with over 3000 ex-
hibitors. So many gifts, so
little money.

Saturday. Kerry Stratton
will conduct with his usual
elan.
Also on Saturday and
again on Sunday. impres-
sionist Andre -Philippe
Gagnon will be appearing.
His most vivid impression
is one that is unintentional.
To us he looks like a
younger Jean Chretien.
Come to think of it, the lat-
ter has been wearing just
as many faces lately.
You can catch a preview
performance of The Gift in
the George Ignatieff
Theatre. The regular run
will be from Boxing Day
through to New Year's
Eve. Gerald Isaac stars
with Lesley Ballantyne and
the narrator for the
Preview performance will
be Don Harron.
Opening on Dec. 11th at
the Bayview Playhouse
will be British actor Robert
Russell as Charles Dickens
in the one man show The
Best of Times, The Worst of
Times. We wish him well
but those of us with long
memories will have dif-
ficulty not comparing him
with the late Emlyn
Williams in the same role.
IN PRINT:
The appearance in
Toronto of Roxanne
Pulitzer is noteworthy and
one applauds the get down,
attitude toward hyping her
latest book. Twins (Villard
Books). It needs it. Only so-
meone less than a
gentleman would make fur-
ther comment.

Top by Donald Trump with

It's personal while never
being sensational, detailed
but not technical, light but
never flippant. Rather like
the man himself.
It has always mystified
us that so many people
keep such poor records. A
home for example is the
biggest single investment
that many make in a life
time and yet most keep on-
ly scattered documentation
of their most prized
material possession.
Times Books is now of-
fering Home Facts, the
ultimate home record
keeper. It's a sturdily con-
structed soft cover with
spiral binder that allows
for easy entries and por-
tability as well.
It is divided into 13 com-
prehensive categories and
special features that in-
clude the following. Handy
pockets for copies of impor-
tant documents, graph
paper to record room and
grounds layouts accurate-
ly, special sections for tax
and insurance information
and charts to record mon-
thly expenses for budgeting
purposes.
Good book and an ex-
cellent housewarming pre-
sent.
FAST EXIT:
If the situation in the
Middle East should
escalate to all out warfare,
these words from Shaw are
offered.
'You can always tell an
old soldier by the inside of
his holsters and cartridge
boxes. The young ones
carry pistols and car-
tridges; the old ones,
grub. "

Twenty-four members
and seven guests met at
Centennial -Rouge Hall at
12:30 p.m. Nov. 14th for the
International Meeting of
the year and a delicious In-
ternational food luncheon
before the regular meeting
time. Many tasty ethnic
dishes were enjoyed by all
those present.
After the meal, the guest
speaker, Joan Livingstone
of Peterborough, was in-
troduced by Jeanne Liv-
ingstone. Joan has recently
returned from a tour with
the Albertan Friendship
Mission to Japan.
She gave a very in-
teresting talk about the trip
and highlighted her ex-
perience of time spent liv-
ing in a Japanese home.
She related the difference
of their home life customs
to our Canadian customs.
Joan also showed us pic-
tures and artifacts that
were gifts given to her.
Mary Miller thanked Joan
for her splendid talk and
extended thanks to her
mother, Beulah Van
Criegran for accompany-
ing her.
Roll call was answered
by naming the special dish
brought to the luncheon
and its country of origin.
Business matters were
discussed and reports were
given:
Ann Tonkins Friendship
Convener, told of cards
sent to shut-ins. Jeanne
Livingstone reportd on the
day some of our members
attended the Women's In-
stitute Booth at the Royal
Winter Fair.
Dorothy Harding, Clara
Lahmer. and Mary Miller
reported about the leader-
ship course of Bread Bak-
ing held at Van Dorf.
Cathie Closson, Jeanne
Livingstone, Mary Miller
and Marion Paquette told
of the activities of the 88th
Convention of Central On-
tario Women's Institutes.
The theme of the conven-
tion was "The Nineties -A
Decade of Challenge". We
can expect changes.
They highlighted the ban-
quet and as this was the
60th anniversary of holding
the convention at the Royal
York Hotel, Toronto, a
special birthday cake was
made and piped in at the
appropriate time.
Harvey Wood was the
guest speaker for the even-
ing, bringing a dynamic
message. The Orangeville
Ontario Group, "Just
Friends" gave musical
selections. The convention
proved worthwhile. The
meeting closed by singing
"O Canada".
A special learning day by
the leaders, Dorothy Har-
ding, Clara Lahmer, and
Mary Miller on "Bread
Making" with Quick
Yeasts was held Nov. 6 at
Centennial -Rouge Hall.
Eleven people took advan-
tage of the course.
It was a great day and
tasting the results of our
work proved very rewar-
ding. Many thanks to the
super leaders.
The pupils now have to
show their skill and have
baking ready to display
and sample for Summary
Day at Van Dorf, Nov. 29th.
On Nov. 21st, fifteen
members met at the home
of Evelyn Dempsey for
dessert, tea and coffee.
The purpose of this
meeting was to arrange for
Christmas Cheer items to
be distributed to elderly
shut-ins and others.
Desserts left over and
other items were sold to
help swell the "Cheer
Fund".
The next meeting of the
institute takes the form of a
Christmas Luncheon and
party at Scarborough Golf
Club.
On Dec. 5, is "Christmas
at The Lee", Stoney Creek,
Ontario. It is a worthwhile
trip to visit this museum
home and see how
Christmas was celebrated
iia by -gone days.

all and a Happy New Year

of condition after a lazy
summer when outdoor
temperatures are too high
to run these polar animals.
But if mushers wait until
there is a good base of
snow, they won't be able to
get the dogs into shape by
the time the season begins.
So how do they do it?
Before the snow flies,
most mushers use a home-
made, three -wheeled train-
ing rig. The driver rides on
a platform at the back and
the dogs are hitched up
with their usual harnesses.
As with any athlete in -
training, mushers start
their dogs off slowly with
relaxed runs of short
distances, giving the
animals a chance to build
Hp their strength and en-
durance gradually.
The Minden Techni-cal
Challenge is one of the
most exciting events on the
racing calendar for a vane-
ty of reasons. It attracts
the world's top com-
petitors, it offers the racing
circuit's toughest cause,
and, thanks to the Main
Street start and finish line,
it provides spectators with
a close-up view of the ac-
tion.
Spectators are also
welcome to visit the "dog
pit" (as the area is called
where the dog trucks are
parked). There you can
check out the dogs and talk
with the mushers to find
out how it's donne.

Westerners in the next few
years.
It is important for
Canadians planning to do
business in Russia in the
future to get a foothold
there soon.'- he said.
"When the economy is
straightened out, and new
laws are in place enabling
western businesses to pro-
fitably do business in
Russia, those companies
that have initiated efforts
In Russia will be set to take
advantage of many oppor-
tunities in a land full of
resources and a big con-
sumer market."

subway line, and the
Lansdowne, Pape and
Main stations on the Bloor-
Danforth line.
The areas are part of the
TTC's ongoing "Your Safe-
ty Partner" program and
were one of the main
recommmendations made
in a 1989 report prepared
by the TTC, Metro Police
and the Metro Action Com-
mittee on Public Violence
Against Women and
Children (METRAC).
The report, "Moving
Forward: Making Transit
Safer for Women", said the
TTC should identify "a sec-
tion of certain subway plat-
forms as secure . . and
determine the most ap-
propriate emergency
response system."
These safety features
will reduce the feeling of
isolation and fear some
riders have and help those
who are simply unfamiliar
with the subway system,"
said TTC chairman Lois
Griffin.
Chief general mmanager
Al Leach said the TTC is
trying out three different
types of waiting areas to
see which one is best suited
for the subway.
"Each one has its own
merits. We're counting on
our riders to tell us what
features they like best," he
said.
The waiting areas at
Sheppard and Lansdowne
stations are located next to
a collector's booth on the
mezzanine level. They are
equipped with electronic
signs and public-address
systems that inform riders
when a train is about to ar-
rive.
The areas located at plat-
form level, at Queen's
Park, Yorkdale, Pape and
Main stations, are equip-
ped with either a closed cir-
cuit camera and intercom
system, or with a push-
button alarm connected to
the collector's booth and
TTC's control centre.
Each platform DWA is
about 20 metres long and
lines up with the guard's
subway car. All six DWAs
have public telephones in
them or nearby which can
be used in an emergency.
"In every case, assistance
is close by," Leach said.

GST*M,
THIS WEEK Al
YOU ASKED
THE GST , F 4 t
CONSUMER
INFORMATION
OFFICE.
Q: I'm thinking of buying a nein car m 1991.
How wX the proposed GST affect prices?
A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax (FSI) is
now part of the price of new cars. So, while
they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991,
the expected effect of replacing the FST
with the GST on the average $22,000
mid-size car is a reduction of around $850.
Q: My son has figured out it will cost $50CI m
lumber to build a dock at our cottage if he
bought a now. How much will that lumber
cost with tate proposed GST.'
A: You can expect to pay about $512 for
that same amount of lumber for personal
use based solely on the changeover from
the FST to the GST.
Q: I know the proposed GST won't apply to city
bus fares but I take the commuter train to work.
Will I have to pay GST?
A: No. Daily commuter trains are considered
a municipal transit service, so fares are
exempt from GST.
Were here to answer your questions about how the
GST will affect prices. Call us toll-free Monday
to Friday 9am-9pm. Ask for your free copy of the
"Consumer's Guide to the GST and Prices"
The answer is to call

Open bidding is one of the ways the government is en-
couraging Canadians to meet the challenge of increasing
competition. Open bidding will allow any Canadian firm to
submit bids for federal purchasing requirements. whether
or not it is on a Supply and Services source list.
Not only will open bidding make it possible for all Cana-
dian companies to compete fairly for government contracts
- it will also make sure that you. the taxpayer, get the best
value for your tax dollar.
in open bidding. the government uses public advertising
to solicit bids for government purchasing requirements.
The requirements are advert ised in two different ways. One
of these is the Electronic Procurement Opportunities
Board. Any business with a computer and modem can
subscribe to this service through Telecom Canada.
For those who don't use a computer, the same infornia-
tion is available in a daily publication called Government
Business Opportunities, which is available by subscription
from Supply and Services.
Since April 2. 1990, open bidding has applied to federal
purchases totallingalrtiasi $2 billion a year. I encourage the
businesses of Ontario Riding to take advantage of these op -
port uni t ies.
The open bidding system is a key ek cent in the federal
government's objective to build a stronger economy. en-

greater prosperity, and more jobs, for Ontario Riding and
