Enjoy The Holiday
byNib Watson
This is the time of ,ear for everyone to relax - after the
shopping spree - and enjoy the close friendship of relatives
and friends.
Sure, there are economic troubles ahead but let's ignore
them just for a week or so till the happy season is over.
Last year we wrote that elected representatives at both
Ottawa and Queen's Park were making life difficult for all
of us. With the GST going into action on Jan. 1st, it is going
to be a time of frustration and expense for every small
business, which is the component of our society that is the
foundation of prosperity or depression.
This is a time for all torts and wage increases to be kept
low so that we can compete with American and other inter-
national products. At the moment we appear to be quite a
bit higher in most casts than our neighbour to the south and
definitely higher than the products from the Far East. if we
wish to keep this beautiful country as good as is. Canadians
are going to have to work harder and more efficiently for
the same income.
This isn't every Canadian's idea of the way to go, but it
does correct some of the problems we face - and the so orp.•r
we handle this recession and get back into prosperity ;he
better for urs all.
Of course. w•e arelikely lobe involved in a war in tlr-• Mid-
dle East soon and who knows what that will do to the
economy.
So Canadian` keep smiling and working hard and with the
right politicians in government at all levels we shall sur-
vive'

Hospitals Need
Business Sense
Canadians are certainly
not stingy when it comes to
spending money on health
care.
Consider that from 1975
to 1987 health care spending
in this country rose from
$12 billion to S47 billion.
Unfortunately, however,
no matter how much we
spend on health care it
never seems to be enough.
Last year in Ontario, for
instance, the provincial
government increased the
budget for Ontario hospitals
by 10 per cent to S6.5
billion. yet 800 hospital beds
were still closed down
permanently.
This year Ontario
hospitals want another $1
billion tacked on to their
budget and say that unless
they get the additional cash
there will be additional ward
closures and program cut-
backs. Next year no doubt
they will want even more
money.
The problem is not
confined to Ontario. All
across Canada governments
are pouring more and more
money into beakh carr
systems without improving
their quality.
Clearly, throwing money
at our hospitals is not the
answer. Perhaps we sbould
concentrate instead on
making our hospitals
manage the money they
have more efficiently.
The private sector can
certainly provide that
management. A prime
example of that can be seen
in the town of Hawkesbury,
Ontario.
Ten years ago, this town's
bospital was considered a
disaster area. It had staff
morale problems, deter-
iorating equipment and a
deficit of about $350,000.
In 1983, in a bold experi-
ment, it contracted out its
management to a private
sector hospital management
company. In a short time,
the hospital turned a profit
and provided better, higher
quality service.
That success has been
repeated elsewhere. In
Alberta, two deficit -ridden
chronic care hospitals
recently turned their
management over to a pri-
vate company. These two
hospitals now not only
generate surpluses, they
also have new services such
as uhra-sound and physio-
therapy units which they did
toot have before.
What bappened in
Hawkesbury and Alberta
is not magic. In both cases.
the private sector simply
provided the hospitals with
private sector expertise in
aocounnng, recruitment and
purc6z_sing. This is the kind
of private sector help all of
our hospitals should be
seeking. Moir efficient
hospitals would mean
beahhier patients - and
happier taxpayers.

10 Appointed To GST
Consumer Information
The Minister of Consumer aril Grporale Affairs, Pierre
Blais, has announced the appointment of ten new members
to an advisory council to the Goods and Services Tax Con-
sumer information Office.
The new members of the council, made up of represen-
lalives from a wide variety of groups and associal ions from
across the country, are David Bloom, Chairman, Retail
Council of Canada; Hobert Brown, Chairman and Senior
Partner, Price Waterhouse: Margaret E. Cowie, Past
President, Consumers' Association of Saskatchewan; Ni-
quelte Delage, Director General. Advertising Standards

consumers* interests during the transition period from the
federal sales tax to the GST.

Encourages Citizens
To Be "Good Neighbours"
An initiative involing government, business and both
community-based and social service organizations formal-
ly got underway recently in 18 Ontario communities.
The official launch of the Good Neighbours initiative, took
place Nov. 7, in Toronto. Aimed at making communities
even friendlier and more supportive places to live, Good
Neighbour's is an initiative of the Ministry of Citizenship's
Office for Senior Citizens' Affairs. Good Neighbours is a
three-,A2y partnership between the Office for Senior
Citizens' Affairs. municipalities and corporate sponsors the
Royal Bank, Shoppers Drug Mart and Today's Seniors
Magazine.
"Times change, people move away, and in the process,
we lose some sense of community." says The Hon. Elaine
Temba, Minister of Citizenship with responsibility for the
Office for Senior Citizens' Affairs. "As an awareness vehi-
cle, Good Neighbours reminds each of us of how we can help
our commmunities to remain caring and supportive places
in which to live."
"For most of us, the desire to be part of our communities
and to support the best interests of all its residents is still
veru much alive and well," adds Ellis Katsnf, Director of
Social Services for the Region of Halton and responsible for
Good Neighbours initiatives in five municipalities. "Good
Neighbours facilitates that process."
Good :Neighbours responds to a meeting the office had
with community and social service leaders more than a
year ago. Participants at that meeting suggested that the
needs of older or disabled people could be met if all
residents of Ontario's cities, towns and villages became
more aware of the ways in which they could offer personal
help on a day-to-day basis.
Good Neighbours makes people aware that voluntarily
taking a moment to chat with an older person or raking a
disabled neighbours' leaves are just two methods that could
help make communities more friendly and caring. These
kinds of informal initiatives can serve as "safety nets" that
supplement existing community and social services and
make it easier for seniors and people with disabilities to
continue to lige in their communities.
The concept has been tested, on a year-long basis, by Sud-
bury, Chatham, Kincardine, Grey -Owen Sound, Thunder
Bay, and the Region of Halton's municipalities, Milton,
Oakville, Georgetown, Burlington and Acton.
Based on their successes, Good Neighbours is being ex-
panded and will soon be appearing in other Ontario regions
and municipalities. Elliot Lake, North Toronto, Kitchener,
Windsor, Cambridge, Horning•s Mill, Collingwood, Whitby,
and the Town of Newcastle are now preparing to launch
their own Good Neighbours.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
Since its summer re-
opening, the Bayview
Playhouse has presented
four shows. Three of them
have been North American
premieres; three have
been one person shows.
( One doesn't dare say One
Man show nowadays.)
For its latest production
The Bayview is presenting
British actor Robert
Russell in his North
American debut as Charles
Dickens in The Best of
Times, the Worst of Times.
In it, Mr. Russell alone on
stage throughout, tells us of
the early life of Charles
Dickens .. in the first per-
son.
The narrative is clearly
and most pleasantly a
bridge for his excellent
readings from selected
works of Dickens including
Dombey and Son, Pickwick
Papers, Oliver Twist, A
Tale of Two Cities and the
beloved, mostly
autobiographical David
Copperfield.
In those readings we also
meet again the Artful
Dodger. Fagin. Dombey.
Mr. Pickwick and his
cronies and so many others
including Mr. Micawber
and the doomed man of the
Haunted Railway
Signalman.
It's quite impossible to
say how closely Mr.
Russell approximates the
living Charles Dickens but
it's also a specious argu-
ment whether he does or
not. All that really matters
is that he is a compelling
actor and storyteller who
does full justice to the
stories of the
presentation's inspiration.
One confesses that
Dickens is not one's
favourite author: not
because of any perceived
shortcomings in his
writings but because of
their strength. So poignant
is his Oliver Twist, so sen-
timental is his A Christmas
Carol, to mention only two
of his masterpieces, that
we have never been able to
read them without weep-
ing.
Yes, we weep when we
read Oliver Twist and hold
back sobs when reading A
Christmas Carol, two books
we were never able to read
to our children.
Yet, listening -listening -to
the words of the master
delivered with such
mellifluity and enthusiasm
by such a performer as
Robert Russell is quite
another thing. One hears
rather than reads the
words that describe the
best and worst of times;
one hears the beauty of
which the English
language is capable
(Dickens is dreadful in
German!). one hears the
essence of all that is good
and bad in the world.

reviewers (we shall not
name him but merely state

Christmas shopping you
might want to consider a
visit to Top O' The Senator,
not to celebrate re-entry of
the Ottawa Senators into
the N.H.L. but to hear
Peter Pringle and his
superb song stylings.
Mr. Pringle last ap-
peared in our town with his
one man show Noel
Coward -a Portrait which
was a critical and commer-
cial success.
Now he's back offering
his unique vocalizing at the
popular spot atop the
Senator Restaurant at 249
Victoria Street and we
can't think of a better way
to conclude a day of shopp-
ing at this time of the year.
Unfortunately. Mr. Pr-
ingle is appearing only un-
til this Saturday but you
should have your shopping
hone by then amw•ay.
IN THE CLUBS EN-
CORE:
In the spirit of the
Yuletide and more or less
goodwill to men, we offer
the following for your con-
sideration.
This Saturday. Dr. Lim-
bo will perform at Sneaky
Dees. 431 College Street at
Bathurst. We think it was
the Daisy Tavern a number
of years ago and ain't that
a hoot!
The Doctor will be per-
forming with his Fabulous
Off -Whites and special
Guests, the Wisconsin
Johnins. We're not mak-
ing this up.
Santa Limbo will offer a
seasonal snake swizzle.
door prizes, a free Tex-Mex
buffet from 9 to 11 p.m. and
'-cheap dance music"
featuring "wild sax, hot
rock rhythms and jive!'.
What more can one say'
It sounds exciting but we'll
probably settle for a
package of nachos while
watching Elwy Yost on TV
Ontario unless. of course,
our new Provincial govern-
ment decides to cancel
Channel 19.
JUST WONDERING:
Within the past week,
Frank Sinatra celebrated
his 75th birthday. Within
the same week, King
Features Comics Syndicate
observed the 75th anniver-
sary of its founding.
Are we the only one to see
more than just a cosmic
coincidence between the
two events?
And, what about Mr.
Sinatra's role in The Joker
is King, the proposed
remake of The Joker is
Wild?
Just wondering Frank.
just wondering!
JUST HOPING:
Your humble servant,
and this time we're not
fooling, is honoured to be
one of six columnists asked
to help out in something
that is most touching.
Craig Sherw•old is a 7
year old little boy who suf-
fers from a brain tumour
and has very little time to
live. It's his ambition to be
entered in the Guiness
Book of Records for having
received the largest
number of Get Well cards
ever sent to an individual.
Please help this dear lit-
tle boy's dream come true.
Please send a card of en-
couragement to Craig

Monarch Park Students
View Class Made Videos
At a special noontime
assembly. Monarch Paris
Collegiate students had a
chance to view videos pro-
duced
roduced by their friends in
the school's Grade 12
design course.
The videotape produc
tki s, five to ten minutes
each, were created by
three teams of four
students under the supervi-
sion of nationally known
video artist, Aiko Suzuki.
Ms. Suzuki worked with the
groups for ten days during
the month-long production
period.
Editing of the work was
accomplished at the Toron-
to Board's Lakeview in-
structional media unit near
Monarch Park.
Head of the art depart-
ment, Carol Bright, said
the idea for the video came
from the enthusiasm of
students returning from
the Toronto Board's Art at
the Boyne program, con-
ducted annually near
Shelburne.
"ft's also part of the new
guidelines," said Ms.
Bright. The ministry in-

assembly and won the door
prize: a blanc professional

Jolly Green Gift Wrap
Are you dreaming of a
"greener- Christmas - one
that reduced the amount of
uu'ecyclable material left
over? Here are a few ideas
to consider for gift wrap,
tags and decorations.
Children, who sometimes
refer to the gift -opening
ritual as the "big rip" will
enjoy receiving presents
wrapped in the weekend
coloured comics.
For adults, try leftover
wallpaper or out-of-date
wallpaper sample books
obtained from a store.
Plain brown paper bags
can be dressed up with rib-
bons bought in quantity
from fabric supply stores
and reused from year to
year.
Placing small but special
gifts inside a Christmas
stocking is another idea
that will both surprise the
recipient and save paper
and boxes.
Children's art or scraps
of paper cut into snowflake
designs are other alter-
natives. Then again, you
may want to go completely
natural and trim your
presents with real pine
cones, holly berries and
candy canes.
Reusing old Christmas
cards as tags makes use of
what you already have and
using glue intead of
cellophane reduces
unrecyclable materials.
Whatever the wrapping,
disposing of it in the
fireplace is not recom-
mended. Burning wrapping
paper or other trash in
fireplaces or woodburning
stoves creates an intense
heat that may be more than
your chimney can stand.
Remember, as well, to put
plastic bags away as soon
as gifts are opened to pre-
vent the risk to children of
Suffocation.

Salvation Army Busy
With Needs Of Thousands
As Christmas ap-
proaches, Salvation Army
workers are busy attending
to the needs of thousands of
families in Metro Toronto.
Goalie
School
Expert instruction for
novice and experienced
goal tenders is available on
Thursday evenings at
McGregor Park Arena.
Physical training, agili-
ty, skate and stick techni-
ques as well as goal tending
colpcepts and strategies are
stressed.
The next session com-
mences in Janaury and
runs for ten consecutive
weeks.
For further information
and registration informa-
tion, call your Recreation
and Parks Department at
396-7411.
It is expected that there
will be an increase of bet-
ween 25-30% in the number
of families seeking help
from the Army.
In 1989, 16230 families
received food vouchers or
hampers and "the pro-
jected increase will bring
that number to close to
20,000," said Major Hugh
Tilley, Public Relations
Director for Metro. "Over
44,000 toys were given to
children last year and this
number will increase as
well," said Tilley.
Families in crisis, the
homeless, the elderly and
those in nursing homes and
hospitals will bring the
total number of adults and
children assisted to close to
100,000.
All this is made possible
with the annual Christmas
Appeal and the traditional
kettles now on corners and
in the malls.
Those seeking help
should call The Salvation
Army at 285-•0080.

A $14,910 contribution
will be given over a period
of six months to C.M. Hin-
cks Training. Research
and Resource Institute,
Toronto, for a literature
review on strengthening
day care services, the Hort.
Perrin Beatty, Minister of
Health and Welfare
Canada has announced.
Funding will be provided
under the National Health
Research and Develop-
ment Program (NHRDP) .
The proposed review will
provide organizational
models for providing
prevention and early in-
tervention services in com-
munity day care centres.
There is compelling
evidence that early
childhood experiences may
have an impact on later
development and that
many childhood
behavioural, emotional,
and developmental pro-
blems have their roots in
early life.
The review will set out to
address the challenge of
finding a new and more ef-
fective way of preventing
chronic conditions and
their resulting disabilities
by strengthening
community-based ser-
vices.

chapels with graveyards,
rocky ruins and other such
examples of an historical
time.
These images of relaxing
discovery can all be ex-
perienced along the trails
of Florida. With a land area
of 54.252 square miles
(141,055 km ) and 4 308
square miles (112D1 kmi)of
water. Florida has lots of
open space for hiking, bik-
ingand canoei
ifty percent of the land
area is within forest, pro-
viding
roviding shelter and food for
an abundance of wildlife,
including fox, coyotes and
deer. More than 71 bird
types can be seen at vary-
ing times of the year. Near-
ly half of the trees native to
the United States can be
found in Florida.
For canoeing. Florida is
home to three basic river
types, alluvial, blackwater
and springfed. Alluvial
rivers are brown stained
(or green) in colour, and
carry sediments along with
them; blackwater rivers
are named for their deep
colour caused by tannins
from the swamp and pine
forests; and springfed
rivers are usually very
clear.
:Nature is not the only
beauty that Florida has to
offer; some of her smaller
towns and cities have uni-
que styles of architecture,
stunning gardens and
fascinating historical land-
marks.
Local chambers of com-
merce or visitors' centres
often have information
about self -guided walking
and biking tours along
fabulous "urban traits".

Recreational trails can
be found throughout the
State. Two comprehensive
state-wide systems of
trails, The Florida Trail
and The Florida Cance
Trail System, provide
naturalists with an oppor-
tunity to travel for longer
periods of time in different
parts of Florida.
Three national forests
and Everglades National
Park have their own trail
systems. The "Ding.. Darl-
ing National Wildlife
Refuge on Sanibel Island
features canoe trails and a
five -mile (8 km) scenic
drive.
Many of Florida's more
than 100 state parks offer
their own nature trails
suitable for hiking, biking
and canoeing.
Since 1966, volunteer
members of the Florida
Trail Association (FTA)
have been working on
developing what is now
more than 1,000 miles of
hiking trail straight down
the centre of the State.
With 31 segments already
completed, the FTA is
working to complete the
trail from one end of
Florida to the other.
The longest continuous
section of The Florida Trail
runs for 460 miles from
Apalachicola National
Forest in the Northwest
across to the Osceola Na-
tional Forest in the Nor-
theast. It then changes
direction and heads south
through Ocala National
Forest and beyond into cen-
tral east Florida.
Twelve other continuous
loops cover the remainder
of the state. All in all, 37 of
67 counties have a portion
of the Florida Trail running
through them.
Florida Trail Association
estimates indicate that
20,000 - 40,000 people visit
parts of the trail every
year. While most segments
are open to the public,
some portions run through
privately owned lands and
are for the exclusive use of
FTA members.
The FTA is proud of their
gift to Floridians and to
visitors. They have created
an opportunity for hikers to
discover Florida's natural
beauty with relative ease.
The state: development
by FTA members has cost
approximately $200 U.S.
per mile in comparison to
the Department of Natural
Resources estimated cost
of $1,200 U.S. per mile for
trails of this type.
Volunteers in the FTA also
help with ongoing
maintenance of the trail so
that it remains easy and
enjoyable to follow.
The FTA won't be alone
in their upkeep of the trail
much longer - Congress has
designated Florida as the
site for America's seventh
national Scenic Trail.
Plans call for 1,700 miles
(2,720 km) of hiking trail,
some of which will be
developed for bikers and
horseback riders, roughly
following the path of the
present Florida Trail.
Coordinated by the U.S.
Forest Service, The
Florida National Scenic
Trail will be the only na-
tional trail that can be hik-
ed year-round.
On Nov. 19, 1988, 1.6
miles (2.56 km) of the
Florida Trail from
Tallahassee to St. Mark
was the first certified sec-
tion of the Florida National
,Scenic Trail. Florida Trail
Association officials are
optimistic that this area
will serve as a model for
developing the whole route.
Federal protection for the
trail would be guaranteed
and FTA would receive
assistance with
maintenance and ongoing
development.
The Florida Cance Trail
System was established in
1971 by the Florida Depart-
ment of Natural
Resources. It includes 35
publicly owned streams
flowing through private
property. Public access
points are bridges and
parks along the trails.
Pamphlets listing recom-
mended starting and
finishing points and the
mileage between access
points can be obtained
from the Department of
Natural Resources.
Trails flow along suitable
parts of rivers and creeks
with enchanting names:
Perdido, Sweetwater,
Wakulla, Sante Fe, and
Peace. The longest canoe
trail, through the Suluant-
nee River. is 169 Miles ( 270
km ) long.
A magical land of eight
different ecosystems, the
Everglades National Park
is a mecca for hiking and
canoeing during the winter
and spnngdry-
Ospreys, Great White
Herons, Brown Pelicans,
Green Sea Turtles, Florida
panthers, Wood Storks,
Manatees, and other
diverse wildlife congregate
around waterholes at this
time of the year. and in-
sects are less bothersome.
Walking and biking traits
range from a short .2 mile
(.3 km) walking loop
around a cattail -filled pond
near Flamingo to the
longest trail, a 7.5 mile (12
km) old road through but-
tonwood forest and coastal
prairie areas.
Most of the canoe paths
leading from Flamingo
take three to six hours
travelling time to com-
plete. With practical
names like "Nine Mile
Pond" and "West Lake
Trail to Cape Sable", and
descriptive names like
"Noble Hammock", "Hells
Bay", and "Mud lake",
each trail has something
unique to offer.
"Noble Hammock", for
instance, was originally us-
ed for bootlegging opera-
tions, and old cuttings used
to mark the trail can still
be seen today. "Hells Bay"
leads through overgrown
passageways of red
mangrove.
For adventurous
canoeists, there is
Centennial Wins
Centennial College stu-
dent teams won a hard-
fought victory over 174
students from colleges
across Ontario Nov. 16. The
students were competing in
the Ontario Colleges
Marketing Competition,
held by Centennial at
Howard Johnson's hotel in
Scarborough.
Nineteen Centennial
marketing students took
first place in the marketing
quiz bowl, merchandising
mathematics and sales
presentation events. They'
also took second place in
the executive job interview
and retail merchandising
problem -solving events.
'.Wilderness Waterway"
an 88 mile (140.8 km) trail
through a mangrove forest
between Flamingo and
Everglades City. A one-
way trip can take up to a
week to complete.
Urban trails can be found
throughout every city and
town in Florida. Also, the
Florida Department of
Natural Resources has
joined in the development
of trails for biking, hiking
and horseback riding.
In the next ten years they
expect about 1,150 miles
(1,840 km) of railroad beds
to be vacated and
transformed into an urban
network of paved trails.
Two trails have already
been completed under the
program: a 6.5 mile 110.4
km) path on Boca Grande
in Lee County and a 16.5
mile ( 26.4 km) St. Marks
Trail running south from
Tallahassee to the coast.

Dunbarton High School
Notes
by Tom Docherty
The Dunbarton Midget
Girls Basketball team won
the 1990 Durham -York
Secondary School Athletic
Association (D.Y.S.S.A.A.)
championship for 1990. as
they defeated Anderson
Collegiate of Whitby in the
finals Nov. 24th.
It was a sweet victory for
the Lady Spartans, as
Anderson had dealt them a
loss at the Lake Ontario
Secondary School Associa-
tion (L.O.S.S.A.) finals
earlier. The girls started
with a bye in the LOSSA
quarterfinals and then
defeated Paul Dwyer of
Oshawa 47-40 in Oshawa.
Then Anderson defeated
them 46-36 in the L.O.S.S.A.
final. The Lady Spartans
went home with the silver
medal, but also with
revenge on their minds.
When D.Y.S.S.A.A. roll-
ed around. they were ready
and up to the challenge of
facing York Region's top
team, St. Elizabeth. Led by
Kim Leslie's 20 points and
spirited play, they won by a
convincing margin of 43-21.
Their next task was the
final, versus Anderson
again. Balanced scoring,
led by Leslie again with 11
points, the play making of
guard Victoria Pollard and
Christine Hathaway's re-
bounding, Dunbarton roll-
ed up a 46-38 victory and a
D.Y.S.S.A.A. champion-
ship.
The team, coached by
Miss Ingribelli, was led by
other members like top
defensive players Nicole
Modeste and Krissy
Schwartz, Sarah Ambler,
Kara Hutchinson, Heather
Roulston, Elana Arthurs.
Crystal Crilly. Daina
Leavens. Kelly Collins, and
Melissa Powell.
Other events this week at
Dunbarton include the
opening of the volleyball
season, at the midget.

auditions for the Gong

and will be held Dec. 19th.
Dreaming Of A Green Xmas
Although the present
festivities centred on the
Christmas tree are chiefly
derived from the German
tradition, bringing greens
into the house during the
winter solstice dates as far
back as Roman and Norse
traditions. Variously inter-
preted as the Tree of Life. a
charm to ensure the return
of vegetation to the earth.
or the victory over the
darkness of winter. an
evergreen is a powerful
symbol of the holiday
season.
In modern time-%. it may
seem environmentally un-
sound to bung a natural
tree into the home for a
scant 10 to 12 -day period.
According to Forestry
Canada, however. trees
you cut down on tree farms
or buy on woodlots are bred
especially for use as
Chnstmas trees. and are
usually grown on land that
is too poor for other crops

If you decide to buy a
natural tree. bear in mind
that a dry• tree is extremely
flammable: the average

and be reduced to ashes in
less than 20 seconds.
Think "fresh. green and
safe" to prevent fires.
Test a tree for freshness
by rubbing the branches
with your hard or by tapp-
ing the base of the tree on
the ground. If needles fall
off or can be easily pulled
off, the tree is too drv.

Student Council Meeting
Held
Chairman Ian Brown and
eight trustees met Nov. 13
with 16 Student Council
representatives from all
but three Durham secon-
dary schools. A large
number of topics including
race relations, fund-
raising, transportation,
students parking. condom
dispensers in schools, sup-
port services and co-op
education were addressed
by the students, in a very
articulate fashion. There
was very strong support for
having at least one forum
annually for students and
trustees to discuss issues
and concerns.
Before setting up the tree
inside the house, recut the
butt diagonally so it can ab-
sorb water. and mount it
securely in a large reser-
voir stand. The stand
should have widespread
legs so it won't tip over.
Always keep the water
level of the reservoir above
the cut. You may need to
add from a pint to a quart
of water daily.
Don't put a tree, whether
natural or artificial, near
curtains or near candles, a
fireplace, heating vent,
radiator. television set or
other source of heat. To
further guard against fire,
declare the tree room a
non-smoking area.
If you have children or
pets, use guy wires con-
nected to the wall to in-
crease stability.
Check electric light cords
near your tree for frayed or
worn spots.
Dont let small children
play around a tree unat-
tended. The bright lights
and interestingly shaped
decorations are attractive
but potentially dangerous
to busy little fingers and
mouths. Hang only un-
breakable ornaments on
the lower branches, and if
you have toddlers in your
family, it may be wise to
avoid hanging small or
sharp -edged decorations or
trimmings that look like
food.
Don't let children play
with electrically operated
toys, such as train sets,
directly under the tree.
Never block exits when
you put up your tree.
Turn light strings off
when you leave the house.
Check for signs of brit-
tleness in the needles and
twigs. Discard your tree
when it begins to turn
brown or dry out.
Never burn a discarded
tree in the fireplace. This
causes creosote build-up
that could damage or cause
fires in your chimney.
Metal or Aluminum Trees
Though fireproof,
metallic trees are elec-
trically conductive and
cannot be decorated with
any electrical product. The
metal can cause a short
and a fire, or simply
become ''hot" and deliver
a nasty shock. Aluminum
trees can be illuminated by
a colourful spotlight placed
three to four feet from the
tree.
with Rene Soetens, M.P.
On Dec. 5, 1". ), the Canada Broadcasting Corporation an-
nounced that it would be making major reductions in its
services. Since then• the opposition has repeatedly lashed
out at the government, despite the fact that the government
has not cut the CBC's funding.
The CBC is an independent Crown corporation that
operates "at arm's length" from the government. its
management decisions are made without government in-
terference.
Government funding of the CBC actually went up this
year, as it has every year since 1984 - an increa:� of four-
teen percent over the last six years.
The announced cuts are part of a restructuring plan that
the CBC Board of Governors has developed to deal with a
projected corporate shortfall of $108 million for the fiscal
year 1991.92. (hie of the principal reasons for their decision
to restructure the CBC: is that the Crown corporation ex-
pects a $30 million drop in advertsiing revenues. which are
necessary for the corporal ion to support itself.
Because of its budget shortfall, the CBC is doing what any
private sector business would do, and is taking steps to br-
ing its expenditures down to match its revenues. Patrick
Watson, who will become chairman of the CBC as soon as a
new broadcasting bill is allowed to pass by the Senate• calls
the board's restructuring plan "a fair, elegant. sym-
metrical and manageable solus ion that will help us survive
the recession".
The greatest changes will be in the regional television
services of the CBC. Regional television operations will he
reorganized, on the basis of not more than one English-
language and one French -language regional television sta-
tion per province. plus the respective network television
production centres to Toronto and Montreal -
In network television. the English -and French -language
networks will snake a further two percent cut for the com-
ing year. The CBC's cuts will have almost no effect on radio
programming. which will be reduced by only onepercent.
Despite the restructuring it has implemented, the CAC
remains committed to the task of reflecting, expressing and
exploring Canada's regional and cultural drversity
