Whopping wages!
By Michael Wyc kr
Results of a new study com-
paring private and public sector
wages has found that employees
working for the municipal pub-
lic sectorenjoy a significant wage
advantage over employees in
comparable private sector posi-
tions. The study, undertaken by
the Canadian Federation of in-
dependent Business (based on
Census Canadadata) reveals that
employees of the City of Regina
boast a 32.8 per cent wage ad-
vantage, the highest in the coun-
try. Wimnipeg is ranked second
with a 24.5 per cent advantage
and Montreal is third with a 20.8

Accountants Sa% "Ves"
The Certified General Accountants Association of Ontario
has passed a resolution supporting a "1'es" vote in the Oct.
26th referendum.
CGA Ontario President Gary Porter, FCGA, said that
..there is increasing conviction in the business community
that a "No" vote in the referendum will represent a set
back for economic recovery in Canada. As accountants, our
role is to help businesses prosper. This has been difficult
over the past few years, but we believe it will be much more
difficult in the atmosphere of instability that would be caus-
ed by a "%o" vote.
Mr. Porter said. "the agreement is not perfect, but we
believe it provides a solid foundation on which to build. The
commitment to prevent the creation of new barriers to in-
terprovincial trade is encouraging for business. We are con-
cerned that economic issues such as this are subject to fur-
ther negotiations down the road, but we respect the work
that's been done to date in this and other areas. Most impor-
tant, we need to look at what will move as forward as a
country and allow us to focus our efforts on economic
recovery. We believe a -Yes- vote will accomplish those
goals. ,.

Children's Lives Are At Stake
Of all accidents, motor vehicle crashes kill more children
and adolescents, and result in the third highest rate of
hospitalization and emergency room visits. It takes less
than a second to become paralyzed for life due to improper
safety precautions.
The importance of an effective restraining system for
children cannot be taken for granted.
After years of producing safety restraining systems for
race car drivers and Children with special needs, inventor
and manufacturer Bill Rich created the Rich Child Safety
Restraint. He consulted with pediatric surgeons and
studied the effects of children paralyzed in car accidents
who were only using a lap belt mechanism. F'rom this
research he developed a restraining system for children
who are too big for a car seat but not yet able to fit into the
lap shoulder system properly.
The Rich Safety Restraint is a restraining system used in
conjunction with a standard lap belt. The belt was designed
using similar requirements to that used in a race car.
In the event of an accident it will help hold the child's up-
per body m place, applying equal pressure at all points of
the belt system. This will help prevent upper body, spinal,
and stomach injuries, which may occur using a lap belt
alone or with a shoulder belt that doesn't fit properly.
The Rich Safety Restraint System is a very simple
system to install. The existing mounting hole for the tether
strap of your child's car seat can be used.
Queen's Park Report

M.P.P. Scarborough Agincourt
September's tmemployment and plant closure rates show
Chat Ontario is turning into a "have not" province because
of the NDP government's lack of economic leadership,
liberal Treasury Critic Gerry Phillips said recently.
"The jobless rate is improving everywhere in this coun-
try except in Ontario, the province that used to be Canada's
economic leader," Mr. Phillips, M.P.P. for Scarborough
Agincourt said. "It's Thanksgiving weekend, but 555,000
unemployed people in Ontario have little to be thankful for
today."
Mr. Phillips also said that plant closures continue to grow
at record levels. Since January 1992, 95 plants have closed
in Ontario.
"Bob Rae is not bolstering the confidence of employers or
employees, both are paralysed by his lack of economic
leadership," Mr. Phillips said. "The situation calls for im-
mediate action which the Premier is not providing to pull
Ontario out of the recession.-
The
ecession.-The third quarter unemployment rate is up by almost half
a preentage point since the second quarter.
Ontario's unemployment rate is at 11.3 percent.
Metropolitan Toronto's unemployment rate is above the na-
tional average at 12 percent. Since September 1991, 25,ODO
manufacturing jobs and 29.000 construction jobs have been
bast in this province.
"In this year's budget. Bob Rae premised 125,000 jobs to
the people of Ontario." Mr. Phillips said. "However, in the
past 12 months. the IVDP government has destroyed 75,000
jobs."
�:....iQueen's•Park Report
From
(From Elinor Caplan
M.P.P. Oriole
......... .................. ........... ...
Bob Rae's NDP governatent wants to implement a new
auto insurance law. It claims the new law ( Bill 164) will
benefit corners but evidence shows that's not the case.
Accor'dug to the William Mercer Report that was
prepared for the government Iasi June. the increased costs
of Bill 164 could well mean higher premiums for consumers.
Bob Rae should know that consumers just can't take one
more het to their pocket books.
Bek in December 1991. the minister responsible for auto
insurance, Brian Chariton. was adamant that the new law
would not bring new price increases to owners. Flew a
month ago. he said the same thing. But now. in another one
of the dramatic about-faces we've come to expect from Bob
Rae's government. Chariton has fatally admitted that con-
sumers could well face increases in their auto insurance
premiums as a result of Bill 164.
Chariton told the I.egislataae this week that: "...based on
studies I have seen we can implement these changes
without any premium increases.'
However, according to a Coopers and Lybrand study
released Oct. 15. average claims costs will rise by 20 per
cent, about ss65 million a year. The study translates chis w
to a 2D per cert preri turn increase which, teased on an
avenge premium of $Boo, will equal about =W per policy.
Women and older drivers will be the hardest hit because the
bill will also change the way drivers ane dassifed, so that
lower tisk drivers will end W subsidizing higher risk
drivers.
The Coopers and Lybrand study shows very dearly that
Ontario car insurance rates could go up by an average of
5200 per insured vehicle once Bill 164 passes. This is a very
credible report. and, unless the NDP government has any
proof to refute it, Ontario consumers must take it very
seriously.
Given industry evidence, it seems like the only way the
NDP government can stop premiums from rising is to
simply step in and freeze them. If that happens, and if in-
surance companies have to absorb even half of the costs of
Bill 164, the Coopers and Lybrand study says that as many
as 2,000 insurance industry jobs could be lost in Ontario.
If this is really the back -door way to public auto in-
surance. Bob Rae's government knows that 10,o00 more
permanent industry jobs are also at stake. Again, Ontario is
faced with NDP incompetence. Charlton and Rae should
tell Ontario what their real plans are for auto insurance.

Lets All Make Hallowe'en Safer
Hallowe'en can mean
danger for little ghosts and
goblins unless parents and
drivers take special
precautions. according to
the Canadian Automobile
Pat Curran of CAA
Toronto reminds drivers.
"Hallowe'en brings out
costumed boys and girls
who are often too excited to
look both ways before
crossing the street. Dark
costumes make trick -or -
treaters cWwult to see.
Worse yet, ill-fitting masks
obstruct vision so children
can't always see oncoming
cars."
Drivers - CAA offers ad-
vice that can help make
Hallowe'en safer. Be extra
alert for children darting
out from between parked
cars. Turn on headights at
the fust sign of dusk and
take extra care when
negotiating driveways.
With so many children on
the streets, a right turn on
red can be dangerous, so
slow down and watch out.
Driving at least a few
kilometres under the
posted speed limit in
residential areas gives
drivers and children a
margin of safety.
CAA urges boys and girls
to trick -or -treat while it's
still light and wear comfor-
table light-coloured
costumes that make it easy
to walk, see and be seen.
Carry a flashlight.
Trim your costume with
special reflective tape that
shines brightly in
(your parents
an get it at most auto sup-
ply, hardware, or sportwg-
goods storesI. Carry or
wear a glow-in-tbe-dark
Hallowe'en light stick,
available where costumes
are sold. Trick -or -treat on
well -lighted streets.
Never dart out between
parked cars in the middle
of the block. Walk on the
sidewalk, not in the street.
U there is no sidewalk,
walk facing traffic and as
far out of the roadway as
possible -
Parents should be sure
children can see clearly.
CAA advises parents to
enlarge eye holes and
husks and Bove cbikkna
remove masks before
crossing the street. Better
them to
wearmakeupmakeup mead of a
mask. Makeup won't im-
pair vision, and it's fun to
wear.
Accompany your
children or send an older
brother or sister along. If
someone older can't go,
kids should trick or treat
with a group and tell you in
advance what streets they
plan to haunt.
Instant Hallowe'en Fun
Lollipops, bubble gum
and chocolate candy filling
the mouths of costumed
kids are as traditional at
Hallowe'en as turkey is at
Thanksgiving. And going to
sleep with a stomach ache
is just as common.
Today, with more cow
cern over what we eat and
how it affects us, offer
something different to your
favourite neighbourhood
trick -or -treaters this
Hallowe'en - a Polaroid ins-
tant photograph. It's more
rewarding than any sweet
and will still be around long
after the candy is forgot-
ten.
The following are tips
that will make this season
even more fun: Greet
neighbourhood kids with a
candid snapshot. If they
don't expect it, you're
bound to get a laugh or two.
Keep the photos in an
album to share with other
parents and friends at
neighbourhood get-
togethers.
Offer a photograph to
your favourite trick -or -
treaters - little Olivia's first
Hallowe'en or Jason in his
"Batman" suit. Instantly,
the, be able to see how
great they look in their
costumes. And, you will
long he remembered for
the unique ..treats" you
handed out.
Don't forget to give a
nutritious sugarless snack
to the others in the group or
they could come back to
haunt you!
During the evening,
trick -or -treaters are bound
to fill their sacks with can-
dy. When they arrive at
your house, just say
..cheese' .

of the 17 positions on the

what was described by
Gilchrist as "the most pro-

In his acceptance speech,
Gilchrist praised the outgo-

ticularly, outgoing Presi-
dent Tony Clement, for
their many ac-
complishments in the past
two years and commented
on the renewed pride and
sense of purpose within the
Provincial P.C. Party of
Ontario.
"At a time when the
hypocrisy of the N.D.P.
and the lack of leadership
in the Liberal Party are
becoming increasingly ob-
vious to all Ontario
citizens, only the P.C. Par-
ty stands out as a credible.

of the proposed labour
legislation, the need for

dramatic tax reductions to

and the need to reduce - not

ment - at all levels."
Gilchrist pledged to work
closely with the Wader and
the caucus to take sure
that the party's rebuilding
PI ocess continued, in every
riding, to ensure a majority
P.C. victory in the next pro-

The tour is a unique col-
laboration between the arts
and business and a fist of
its kind. Said John Shaw,
Managing Director of the
Calgary Philharmonic Or-
chestra. 'This tour
celebrates the coming of
age of the Calgary Philhar-
monic Orchestra and its ar-
tistic achievements to date
as well as the coming of
age of the natural gas in-
dustry. To my knowledge,
never before has the
business community so
strongly supported an ar-
tistic venture designed to
promote a single industry
and a single arts organiza-
tion at one and the same
time. More than seventy
companies, representing
every sector of the western
Canadian natural gas in-
dustry in Alberta, central
Canada and the United
States - including pro-
ducers, carriers, suppliers,
legal and financial entities
and distributes - have join-
ed as partners for the
tour."

Bill Watt's Worlds
SUPPER CLUBBING:
The evil that men do lives
after them. The good is oft
interred with their bones.
After attending Happy Bir-
thday AI Capone at The
Limelight Supper Club, one
challenges The Bard.
To say that Al Capone
was rat a nice person is to
achieve the apogee nadir
of understatement. He was
a cruel, physically bloated.
sausage fingered man who
received great wealth
'through criminal activities
that he made possible by
preying on the fears of the
weak while exploiting the
;greed of the predators.
Yet, such is the cupidity
of society that what should
be his notoriety has
somehow been transmuted
into tolerant affection.
Most disturbing. Having
said that, please listen to
the following tapped
telephone conversation.
Hey Goombah. ya missed
a swell party the udda
night. Big Al -Capone ya
dummy: -be got sprung
from the slammer on his
boithday and there was a
sucpnse blow out for 'im at
the Limelight Supper Club.
Yea, that's right. It's
where that c oich used to
be. a Baptist choKh fa

Anyway. we all hadda be
there oil. sevenish. Yea.
the tootsie and me were
frisked and then let in afta
givin' the pass woid.
Sheesh' But it was woith it.
There's a lotta the great
old songs and the cast does
them just about the w.ay
they were meant to be. Ya
know what I mean vino

song for Fred Waring and
His Pennsylvanians.
There's some later stuff
too, like :Cil That Jazz and
On The South Side of
Chicago. Paisano Daman

Oh, and Yea. Peppiat.
Steele and Atkinson -the
guys what put it alltoged-

dummy.
And dancin'! Great,
great dancin'. All the cast
can dance and tap but ya
gotta keep your eye on Joey
Hollingsworth. I remember
seein' him dancin' wid that
critic guy Bill Watt a few
Years back on the Davbeat
T. V. show. Well, lemme tell
ya, he can still move! So
can the critic fella.
They dragged him up
from the audience for the
Charleston contest. He was
aced outta the win cause
some pastafazoo champ
milked the audience by puf-
fin' hard. But. Watt was
cool, a heal pro. Barely
worked up a sweat. He
looked like he was enjoyin'
himself.
The cast they got toged-
dah for the showis good.
uniformly good (cripes.
we're startin' to talk like
Twinkle Toes now) and I'm
damned if I can pick out
an.v one for particular at-
tention..except Big Al and
his 'Momma.
Al is played by Paul
Saunders. He sings and he
hoofs pretty good but va
gotta see Valerie Boyle as
Momma. Remember she
was '.Mother so and so in
Nu sense' Well. wait'Il ya
hear her sing Rock -a -Bye
to her baby Al. Good stuff.
Good food too but va
know. the Limelight
always puts up a great
spread. Al wouldn't have it
any udda way.
Hey Look. Happy Birth-
day Al Capone is a bitchin'
good show. Ya know what
else is good? Louis
Janetta's back in harness.
He's the maitre dee and as
good as evah.
Tell him Tinkle Toes
sent ya. I'm goin' buck
later. New Year's Eve
looks great. This show's in
for a long time. longer than
Al %%-as in the pen.
CH.i.NPF:R__S isl'BBLING:
For many. Champagne
Charlie is simply a British
music hall song ussually
performed, in Canada
anyway, by porcine
aspirants to show biz at any
level. usually with perfor-
�� Around and Abou
Your Dining &Entertainment Guide
ming names such as Man-
chester Bobbie, Busker
Brucie or John Bull. There
was, however, a real
Champagne Charlie who
inspired the song.
He was Charles Camille
Heidsieck and in the later
19th century he travelled
the world establishing his
marque as one of the more
famous -and better, the two
words are not synonomous-
champagnes and the man
himself as one of the great
personalities of his time.
Now today, "the
champagne house" he
created for the world is
marking his memory by
staging an around the
world challenge encom-
passing 19 countries.
That's how we came to be
at Splendido on a recent
flaming autumn evening
such as only Canada can
produce. We were there to
meet and greet two of the
contestants in one of their
Canadian stops.
You see. contestants are
expected to match or
possbily beat the time
taken by the original
Champagne Charlie in his
tours around the world.
And. they can travel using
only the means of transport
available to the original.
.no air flights and only
limited sea travel. Has
anyone tried to travel the
Pacific by other than
crrnse ship lately'.
So the contest is one that
demands initiative and ew
durance following its
launch at the Eiffel Tower
in Paris.
The two first contestants
to reach us. Nerve and Guy
are writer photographers
for such magazines as Elk
and Out. Charming
gentlemen they are and
worthy representatives of
the memory of Charles
Heidsieck. We look forward
to meeting the next ar-
rivals..and, not incidently,
sipping the glorious Heid-
sieck diampagne.

Each Episode has a re-
cap and lots of material is
given to the playgoer so if
the first one was missed, a
person can soon pick up the
theme. This is a profes-

Drought Gripping Africa The Worst
The drought that's now
gripping most of southern
Africa is the worst this cen-
tury. Water shortages and
lost crops have left nearly
W million people dependent
on international food -aid.
This natural disaster has
been exasperated by
government programs
designed
approved by
the International Monetary
Fund. Cana lar s cannot af-
ford to dismiss the dif
ficulties of African coun-
tries as the product of poor
planning by
underdeveloped nations

Eastwood and Lee Marvin.
Now, along comes
George Strait. the wildly
Popular C.& W. singer with
Pure Gold ( Warner
Brothers). It's we bad.
Trouble is, it's not earth
shattering either and the
public seems to be deman-
ding blockbusters every
time out nowadays.
In his time. the late Jim
Reeves was just as popular
as Mr. Strait but his
Kimberley Jim did dread-
ful box office despite being
a reasonably well con-
structed and acted effort.
One fears the same fate
for Pure Country. The
music is good and well
delivered but yet we simply
have this feeling that it's
not going to make it. We
hope we're wrong and it's
just possible that we will
be.
After all, the George
Strait Live Concert video
was the first video of any
classification to be cer-
tified gold and is fast dos-
ing on platinum.
TRAILER:
Does anyone suppose
that Kyle Rae would watch
a movie starring a man
called Strait? Does anyone
suppose he can even spell?
ON RECORD:
The latest Royal Cana-
dian Air Farce recording
has just been released on
Atlantic Records.
The Year of The Farce is
a collection of 18 sketches
selected from the 1991 92

each is hilarious. Sorry to
overwork the word but it's
truly the one that applies.

Speaking of Cod Wars,
opera buffs are reminded
that the Canadian Opera
Company production of
Albert Herring will be
broadcast this Saturday at

Actually, Albert Herring

FAST EXIT:
We've been requested
once again to explain what
is meant in music by the
term, riff. A riff is a
repeated phrase of pro-
nounced rhythmic
character, often not strik-
ingly melodic.
Bob Rae is a competent
pianist. Knowing that,

terances are underwhelm-

2 Artists Feature Illness And Healing At Glendon
The Glendon Gallery br-
ings together the works of
two powerful artists Robert
Pope and Alison Brannen,
whose art transcends the
taboos, fears and secrecy
associated with illness.
Through their intimate
work, they heighten social
understanding and accep-
tance of human
vulnerability.
'The large charcoal on
paper drawings and
smaller works by acclaim-
ed Halifax artist Robert
Pope, who died in January
at 35, chroncile his 10 -year
battle with Hodgkinson's
Disease. His work is charg-
ed with the tension of con-
trasts, such as health and
sickness. the sterility of the
indoors versus the rich life
of nature outdoors. warmth
and coldness.
Pope, author of the
recently published book
"Illness and Healing: Im-
ages of Cancer" described
his art as being, in part
"personal therapy". He
said: "Looking at a picture
is like walking through an
endless series of doors,
with each succeeding door
leading us deeper and
deeper into a richer ex-
perience. This journey
stimulates our minds, our
emotions, our souls; it
makes us more fully
alive...
Toronto artist Alison
Brannen, whose work is
shown throughout Ontario
and Quebec, was compell-
ed to explore disease and
healing after watching a
close childhood friend
struggle with the pain of a
spinal injury. The daughter

Why Save it
til Seven?��
;:ie hydro rush hour. That's when stores,
are open, street lights are on, house Iights and furnaccs
are glowing and we're all using electricity.
BECAUSE supper time power is more expensive. North York Hydro's
bill for the electricity we buy from Ontario Hydro is based on the
maximum demand each month. Lowering demand during the hydro
rush hour reduces our power costs.
BECAUSE we all save. Lower wholesale power costs mean better
rates for North York Hydro customers.
AND it's easy! On winter weekday evenings from 5-7pm,
`here's all you have to do:
✓ load the dishwasher but wait until after 7pm to
turn 1t on;
✓ turn on the TV only when you're ready to
watch it;
16/ switch off the lights in empty rooms;
✓ use the clothes washer, dryer and other large ap-
pliances at other times of the day or on weekends; and
whenever possible, SAVE IT TIL SEVEN!

KP Copy Store Caters To Business
The recession has hit
most large companies
hard. These have ac-
celerated their slimming
down process in both the
U.S. A. and Canada. In fact,
in the last decade, large US
corporations have reduced
their personnel by 13
million peo0e. The situa-
tion in Canada is similar if
not more dramatic on a
percentage basis. The up
side of this phenomenon is
that a large number of
those displaced employees
.are starting home based
businesses.
A new type of store cater-
ing to those businesses and
Your
other small businesses is
being established all
around the Metropolitan
area. To make them as
easily accessible as possi-
ble to the home based
business person, these are
located in malls. One of
those, the 1P Copy store is
situated in Fairview Mall.
The store at that location
offers a large selection of
services. These range from
the basic black and white
photo copy and fax services
to the less common
typography and colour
photocopy services and
also include small volume

Interest Rates:
This past aurum, when
daily interest rates at the
Dant were morning about
1-1 2%, and treasury bills
about 4.1 2%, 1 received a
number of calls from
clients and others looking
for a good safe place to
park their money, but with
a more respectable rate of
return. Now is the time for
Canada Savigns bonds
which every October com-
pete with Treasury Bills for
Carman savings.
Both have received a
sudden 2% pmW shot m the
arm, at the expense of the
economy, due to the
chaotic effect on our dollar
created by the threatened
break up of the country.
Still one must ask is this
the best place to park your
money? The answer
depends to a large extent
on your investment goals.
U you jest want a safe short
term place to park
emergency funds, or
money you're going to need
shortly, at better than bank
intertest, it's hard to beat
these two investment
vehicles. However, for
longer term investments,
one should consider other
alternatives especially due
to the global trend to lower
interest rates precipitated
by world wide economic
weakness in the developed
world.
This begs the question,
where should we turn for a
more respectable rate of
return while at the same
time preserving safety of
capital'
European Government
Bonds:
By far the best and safest
way to make money in
Canada for the past two
and a half years has been in
Government of Canada
Bonds, not CSBs. During
this time interest rates
have experienced their
longest period of decline in
over 50 years. Since the
Government of Canada
bonds are transferable,
unlike CSBs, by locking in
at the higher rates the re-
sale value of the Govern-
ment of Canada bonds has
soared while the interest
rates declined.
Thus investors have ex-
perienced significant
capital gains over and
above the guaranteed rate
of interest. This is why
Canadian bond mutual
funds dominate the win-
ners list on the perfor-
mance charts for recent
years. For those who miss-
ed out. cheer up, there is a
second chance. The second
chance is in the form of
European government
bonds.
All during the time our
interest rates have been
declining German rates
have been rising. Thus Ger-
man rates are now con-
siderably above U.S. rates
whereas the reverse is
more the norm. Higher
Canadian and U.S. rates
are necessary to attract
foreign capital to service
oar merelu higher govern
ment debt, antificatly prop-
ped up by German rates,
and still have considerably
more down side. In fact
they are much closer to the
highs than to the an-
ticipated lows.
BY locking iii now with
the high European rates,
considerable gains can be
expected as Europe follows
the world trend to lower in-
terest rates. The tem-
porary rise in rates of some
nations in the latter half of
September was an aberra-
tion spurred by the uncer-
tainty of the French vote.
Nevertheless the tread in
interest rates, especially in
Europe is down. Germany
finally started to lower
rates with a modest half
point drop in mid
September and there is
considerable pressure on
Germany, from her Euro-
pean allies, to start reduc-
ing interest rates in earnest
so that they can follow suit.
There is also the pressure
of a weakening domestic
German and European
economy requiring lower
interest rates.
Thus the party Canadian
bond investors have en-
joyed for the past two years
plus is still young in Europe
and has only barely started
in Germany. An alternate
strategy is to invest in a
foreign bond mutual fund.
This gives you the advan-
tages of a diversified port-
folio, and full time ex-
perienced portfolio
managers who can move
the money from country to
country as they deem ap-
propriate.
Tops for performance is
the AGF Global Govern-
ment Bond Fund. Portfolio
manager Warren Goldring
has supervised all fixed in-
come investments for AGF
for the past 29 years and
also has an enviable record
in managing both their
Money Market Fund and
tional items such as in-
dividualized T-shirts,
sweatshirts, mugs, puzzles
etc.
According to Mr.
Lalonde, who co-owns the
store with his wife, the in-
tent of the store is to pro-
vide a one stop instant print
service to clients as well as
provide him/her with in-
dividualized or personaliz-
ed promotion items in
limited volume runs.
"Our combination of ser-
vices is unique. We are, to
our knowledge, the only
retail outlet for apparel in-
corporating high quality
pictures and personalized
messages. These promo-
tional items put the small
business person on an
equal footing with the large
corporations when it comes
to wooing that all impor-
tant client. He or she can
deliver an effective
message to a selected au-
dience through the use of
pictures and words. That
can be achieved at
reasonable cost without
having to incur high setup
costs or being forced to
purchase quantities

Although we have yet to
market our services we
already have a few busines
clients who have ordered
our products and have been
pleased with the results.

lynadian Bond Fund.
The AGF Global Govern -
Bond Fund, which
was started just over six
years ago, is currently in-
vested about 35% in Ger-
many with the balance in
other major nations but
currently primarily in
Europe. This fund sticks
with triple A rated govern-
ment bonds and invests in
those nations offering the
largest spread between the
actual rate of interest and
the rate of inflation.
For those who wish to
follow the strategy of bu r-
ing higher yielding Euro-
pean bonds in their RRSPs
one need only invest in tri-
ple A rated World Bank
Bonds. Since Canada is one
of the many guarantors of
the World Bank• these
bonds are deemed RRSP
eligible.
The Global Strategy In-
come Fund follows this
strategy. It is a bond fund
which invests primarily in
foreign bonds but still
qualifies for an RRSP by
sticking with World Bank
and Euro Canadian issues.
The fund is invested by
Rothchild International of
London England and is up a
respectable 18.5% in the
past 12 months.
As with AGF the return is
split between interest in-
come. capital gains on the
bonds due to having locked
in at higher rates while in-
terest rates declined, and
gains in currency enhanced
by a weak Canadian dollar.
Dividends are paid mon-
thly by AGF and quarterly
by Global Strategy and can
be re -invested at the in-
vestors option.
Both of these funds can
be bought without acquisi-
tion fee but with a declining
rear load starting at 4-1; 2%
in the case of Global
Strategy and 5-1,2% with

The 'Classic' had its

Initially the shouts involved
competitors from Ontario

a national slow that would
bring together the best
from across Canada.

At AL.7±- we Leel idol all prudent investors should have at
least 100/6 of their investments in foreign assets. In these
times of justified credit worries and uncertainties there is
no better place to invest than in government bonds of
countries with well developed capital markets, a history of
credit worthiness and political stability.
AGF Global Government Bond Fund is the perfect
vehicle for international currency and bond diversification
without any of the hassles of custodianship or settlement
procedures. The Fund invests in those countries with high
real rates of interest, sound fiscal policies and economic
policies conducive to strong currencies.
