Durham Board Of
Education Notes
Modifier School Vear
Trustees approved a mo-
tion to continue to consider
the Modifted School Year,
multi -track strand, as a
viable program alternative
and a solution to facility
needs resulting from cur-
rent enrolment and pro-
jected growth. As schools
reach maximum capacity,
the Modified School Year
could be implemented to
allow more students to
utilize the same facilities.
Both a single and multi-
track calendar model will
be developed for use in
possible pilot schools and
for approval by the
Ministry of Education.
Implementation of Policy
NO. 6161
The board received the
director's annual report on
the implementation of
Policy No. 6161 which deals
with the selection of learn-
ing materials and pro-
cedures to be followed in
the event of a challenge.
The policy was im-
plemented once during 19W
in response to a parental
concern regarding the
Growing Up Series.
A committee consisting
of two representatives of
the Program Committee,
two trustees at large, one
OPSTF representative, one
DWTA representative, the
Director of Education, a
former Program Consul-
tant, one community
medical representative
and the presidents of three
School Advisory Commit-
tees was convened to
review the materials and
arrive at a conclusion
about their suitability.
Mernbers of the conmut-
tee based their decision on
their own observations and
reflections and were not ex-
pected to represent a par-
ticular constituency. After
considerable review, three
members did not approve
the materials, six
members approved the
materials with conditions
and two members approv-
ed the materials unconc i-
tionally.
The final derision of the
committee was to retain
the Growing Up Series in
the board's resource unit
for use under the following
conditions: Grade 7
students will be the
youngest students to view
the materials: alternatives
to the films will be made
known to teachers in the
documentation that accom-
panies the materials;
members of the School Ad-
visory Committee should
be invited to view the
material in schools where
it is being used. and
methods of informing all
parents about the Family
Life units will be
developed.
Committee members ex-
pressed satisfaction with
the process used to review
the materials and verified
that the report accurately
reported a summary of
their views.

Those New Signs
ley Bob Watson
The new road signs for Ontario announced last week at
Queen's Park at a cost of $1.7 million is a most unnecessary
expense and creates a new aggravation for many of us On-
tario residents.
The new signs will be bilingual so the small percentage of
French speaking Ontario residents - who also speak English
- will know which way to go' Even in French speaking
Quebec the government doesn't cater to its English-
speaking minority'
We hope that opposition parties at Queen's Park get the
message to the NDP government that we do not need new
signs in Ontario - especially bilingual ones.
Need Bicycle Paths
To Mavor Jovee Trimmer.
City of Scarborough
Your Worship.
Spring is just around the corner and our thoughts turn to
more pleasant things such as bicycling. a-hv not, Actuauv
in many countries the bicycle is considered as a serious
vehicle of transportation.
We in Scarborough do have some bike paths, these arerot
used in a regular traffic pattern since they are located in
parrs. we now have a unique opportunity to combine a
scenic path -traffic path as per my attached sketch. This
leads from the Town Centre to the Progress Campos, w•tiere
the 1000 full-time students cannot fund a spot to park their
can.
I also attach an item about the city of S\EEK in Holland
(pron. -snake-) where a lot of money is being spent to pro-
mote the use of bicycles instead of motorized vehicles.
Also In other cities such as in Almere (where once the
waves of the Zuhderzee rolled 1. one can go b) bicycle from
point A to point B without crossing automotive traffic lanes
because of a network of bicycle lanes. bridges and under-
passes.
Both cities are close to the sea. and the wind is often so
strong that evcIb* is all but impossible. We would have
more cold and snow, but at least we are not in a regular
snowtielt. therefore we could use bicycles probably about as
often in this area as in Holland. where the climate can be
gwte nasty.
L.K.T. Extension
I urge you to insist on at least provisions for future cvlce
paths in the designs for the extensions, this could be conn -
pared with the foresight displayed when the Bloor viaduct
was designed with a future subway in mind.
In the meantime I tope that the path as per my sketch
will get serious consideration - this path could be an in-
teresting test case.
Yours truly.

Optimism For Spring Market
With an above-average year-end report and an average
January report, the Oshawa & District Real Estate Board
IODREBi reports that realtors are looking forward to the
usual busy spring market.
-We have many different contributing factors which will
hopefully help create an above-average spring market. The
factors are: we have been told the recession is finally over:
General Motors in Oshawa escaped closure last December.
and the government's Home Buyers' Plan has been extend-
ed to March 1, 1994," says Christine Kendall, President of
ODREB.
"The inflation rate, interest rates and housing prices
haven't been this low for a number of years, and 1992's
statistics prove that it was the time to buy a home, whether
it be a first-time or a trade -up home. For January, the sales
are somewhat lower than December's, but I am confident
that we have just begun on a slow start and it will be a
stimulating market come spring," adds Kendall.

Children's Killers
Accidental injury is the primary killer of children in
Canada - it takes twice as many children's lives as cancer.
Accidents on playground equipment are one of the most
common causes of Injury to children throughout the year.
However. in cold weather particular kinds of accidents may
be caused by outdoor play.
Drawstrings on the hoods or necks of coats. mitten cords,
trading scarves and loose clothing can easily catch on
;tayground equipment. fences or gates and cause
strangulation.
During 1992, four Canadian children died of strangulation
when their clothing or a string attached to their clothing
was caught on fences or playground equipment.
Government Slashes Own Waste Output
Ontario government employees have slashed their gar-
bage output in half and are three years ahead of waste
reduction targets, Government Services Minister Fred
Wilson has announced at the kickoff 'Maximum Green'.
"This project will help cut our garbage even further,
said Mr. Wilson. "The launch of 'Maximum Green' in three
buildings means less garbage goes to landfill, and that will
mean big savings for the taxpayers of Ontario.
'Ilse project will minimize garbage output by removing
garbage cans from the offices of 2.500 government
employees. The number of items that can be recycled has
been increased and food waste is collected from every floor
for use as pig feed or compost.
Aboriginals Get $115,000
Minister of Citizenship Elaine Ziemba has announced the
names of seven Aboriginal organizations that will each
receive between $45,oW and $60,000 in funding to initiate
community development of an Aboriginal Anti -Racism
Strategy for Ontario. The grants represent 1992-93 funding
from the Anti -Racism Operational Funding Program,
developed and administered by the Ontario Anti -Racism
Secretariat of the Ministry of Citizenship.

Transit development for Scarborough: I.RT expansion and
more
Scarborough will share in the newly announced expan-
sion of the transit system with the extension of the rapid
transit line. The line will go from Scarborough City Centre
to Markham Rd. and north to Sheppard.
The total cost is estimated at $431 million, with $13 million
to be spent this year. The project will create 7,420 jobs of
which approximately 130 will be created this year.
The decision will put a new emphasis on public tansporta-
tion, will stimulate the local economy and will encourage
further development of the City Centre and the areas
around the new line.
I welcome the announcement and regard it as one compo-
nent of a strategy for the area. The new line does not run in
Scarborough East but will make it easier for residents to
use the subway system. At the same time other transit in-
itiatives have been announced, including better integration
of transit systems across municipal boundaries - in our case
to Pickering. GO Transit will be upgraded and we look to it
being even more convenient for residents of Scarborough
East.
The most obvious problem in Scarborough East is the
worsening congestion on the main arteries such as Kingston
Rd. and Lawrence. High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes are be-
ing proposed which I cautiously favour: we must be careful
to ensure that they are not disguised road widening
schemes. I hope we are certain that they truly encourage a
move to public transit vehicles, taxis (which could include
innovative van arrangements) and bicycles.
Tansit must be a component of overall ecological plann-
ing. The government announcements are important and
timely initiatives to develop infrastructure. It's vital we use
the chance to pian better cities, not just to move more peo-
ple around faster.
Parental Smoking Affects
Health Of Children
"As you consider lifestyle changes for the new year, The
Lung Association asks you to do something for youlrself and
for your children - please quit smoking." said Karen
McLean, Smoking Cessation Program Coordinator for 17n
Luing Association. "By Witting you will have an impact on
the health of those around you. The Lung Association can
help you quit." said McLean.
Parents who smoke at home aggravate symptoms in
asthmatic children and can trigger asthma attacks.
Respiratory illnesses and ear infections occur about twice
as often to dukt'en whose parents smoke at home corn,
pared to It with non-smoking parents. Researchers in
Hamilton, Ontario found that parental smoking was mhos
important than outdoor air pollution in causing impaired
Ming function in children- Involuntary exposure to tobacco
smoke is estimated to cause about 3% of all lung cancer
deaths annually in Canada.
Pregnant women and parents should be aware of the ef-
fects of smoking on their unborn dukiren. Before birth an
unborn child practices some motions of breathing. The ef-
fects of cigarette smoke are immediate - the unborn child's
movements slow down after the mother smokes just two
cigarettes Also, some of the harmful gases and poisonous
substances in smoke actually pass from the mother's blood
through the placenta and into the baby's blood. One of these
gases is carbon monoxide. which forces oxygen out of the
red blood cells - both the mother's and child's. Nicotine
adds to the damage by narrowing blood vessels, including
those in the placenta itself. This means not as much oxygen
and food is delivered to the developing child.
The children born to smoking mothers are more likely to
be born undersized. These children have a greater chance
of dying soon after birth. Studies dearly demonstrate that
women who smoke during pregnancy also have more still
births, spontaneous abortions, and premature deliveries
than women who don't smoke.
Infants and young children also breathe much faster than
adults. They inhale more air - and more pollution - in com-
parison to their total body weight. Many of their lungs'
defenses have not been developed yet. -We want parents to
be aware of their enormous influences on their child's
behaviour. Parental smoking is a major factor motivating
children to smoke," said McLean. "The Lurig Association
offers some of the most effective stop smoking programs
and self-help materials available. Please call us today - for
your kid's sake. "

Narrow Mutual Fund Choices
by the mid -19191st it is estimated that mutual funds vat Aa►s a
coNectfVe aggregate asset Value of about 1116 trillion. That's
&1010 their current ►slue, and nine times their Value only five
years ago. In this article we offer some suggestions on hew to
find your way in an increasingly crowded mutual fund market.
These days, mutual fund investors have more choices than
ever before. A lot more choices.
In fact, there are now more than 700 funds available in Canada
- almost 100 of which have appeared in the past year alone.
And if you're looking for an RRSP-eligible fund, the numbers
are only slightly less overwhelming: in mid-1992. there were
nearly 500 funds that qualified as RRSP investments.
With so many funds to consider, how do you narrow down the
field? A good place to start is with a recent mutual fund
survey. (These surveys appear monthly in The Globe d Mail
Report on Business and in The Financial Post). You may also
wish to obtain a prospectus for one or more funds.
With this information in hand, it's just a matter of asking a few
basic Questions.
Mow wed estapYshed is the fund? Ultimately, the issue here is
one Of credibility. K the fund - or the organization behind it -
has been in buskmss for a number of years, then chances are
It won't disappear overnight. Similarly, a large asset base -
say. SW million or more - provides a good indication of
financial strength.
Who we the fund's managers? If the nan*s) aren't familiar ,
don't worry - most fund manages do their worn in
comparative anonymity. Experience is important, however, as
is consistency. So look for a fund where the managers have
established a track record over a number of years - preferably.
from the fund's inception
Now has the fund performed? While past performance is no
guarantee of future results, a fund's historical rate of return
still serves as a useful point of comparison. In general, look for
funds with above-average performance (that is, compared to
other funds in the same category) over periods of three yews
or more. Remember, too. that certain types of investments are
more volatile than others. Consequently, an equity fund may
show Poorer short-term performance than a money-market
fund, but provide higher rates of return when averaged over a
five- or ten-year period.
What lees are charged? All funds are charged a fee by their
managers, which is based on a certain percentage of the
fund's assets. The percentage is generally higher for equity
funds than for income funds, although it an also vary widely
between funds of the same type - from less than I% to 3% or
more. (In some cases, however, a fund may offer fee
reductions if your investment exceeds a certain amount). How
can the fee affect you? Well, if the fund's performance is weak,
a hefty management fee can eat up much (if not alq of your
earnings.
An additional - and potentially more costly - type of fee is the
sales charge, or "load". that is levied by some funds.
Essentially, this is a commission paid to the salesperson from
whom you purchase the fund. In some cases, it can be as
much as 9% of the amount invested (a "front-end" load),
which means that a $10.000 investment is immediately
reduced to $9,100. In recent years. however, many load funds
have adopted a system of "deferred" sales charges. Here you
pay a declining percentage of your investment in the fund if
you redeem (or sell) your units within a certain period.
Typically, this will be 5% in the first year, 4.5% in the second
year, and so on until the charge is reduced to zero.
Do sales charges affect your return on investment? Definitely -
- depending on how much is charged and when, as well as how
long you hold the fund. In fact, on a load fund earning 10%
annually, the real rate of return may end up being only 8.9%.
By now, you will probably appreciate why some mutual funds
are different from others. But ultimately, the fund(s) you
choose must be appropriate to your personal investment
goals.

should approach the child,
the child should stay at
more than arms distance
away from the vehicle. If
the driver opens the door,
the child should walk away
Immediately.
Although we teach our
children never to talk to
strangers, there could be
situations where they do
not realize that a person is
a stranger.
For instance, when a
child has a sweatshirt with
his or her name printed on
it, they could be vulnerable
to a stranger calling them
by their name. Remember
neighbours may be
strangers also.
One method a child can
use to tell a parent of a
dangerous situation is a
secret word (remember
children love secrets) . The
word should be something
that is easily remembered
by the child. And the child
should know that if he
bears that word it means
that there is a possibility of
danger and to leave the
area immediately.
Maureen Keeping also
gave three rules for
children to follow. First in
a dangerous situation, the
child must speak loudly the
word NO!! A child yelling
"help" may be confused
for playing.
Secondly, Get away. If
your child perceives that
something is wrong, he
should move away from the

Maureen Keeping suggests
that a drop of clear nail

emergency during a power

A child should learn the
meaning of the Block

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
The theme of twin
brothers being separated
at birth each to be raised in
different milieus is not a
new one in the arts. It's
been treated by such as
Shakespeare. Sabatini.
Dumas and even. Mark
Twain (Puddinhead
Wilson). It is given the
most disturbing examina-
tion in Willy Russell's
musical play Blood
Brothers now playing at
the Royal Alexandra.
Mrs. Johnstone is the
lower classes. She is bright
and caring but ill educated.
She is also extremely fe-
cund. When her husband
leaves her, she discovers
she is pregnant, again, this
time with twins. She makes
the painful decision to give
one of them to a lady - well
almost- of the upper class
for whom she has worked
as a char. The lady will tell
her absent husband that
the child is his.
So it comes about the

literally and by childish
ceremony. Their lives
become tragic.
Those are the barest
bones of the Blood Brothers
narrative. The play is more
than just glorified kitchen

a polemic railing against
perceived systemic oppres-
sion of the underprivileged.
Mere words can only and
beet describe it as Greek
tragedy in continuun.

triumph of style and
substance. On to specifics
now.
The music is not
memorable but without it
Blood Brothers would not
achieve its ultimate power.
Having written that, it
must also be stated that the
music is nothing without
the effective presentation
that, in this production, is
equally as fine as that of
the acting.

one from giggling boyhood,

easily the most moving

One tends to forget that
Mr. Balanchine was once
considered 1'enfant terrible
de ballet. In fact, he merely
eschewed story ballets in
favour of shorter works
that feature dancers in
terpsichorean
verisimilitude.
Yet, he didn't eschew
fine music to accompany
(not dominate) the
dancers, nor belle epoch
costuming to complement
them.
Divertimento is to the
music of W. A. Mozart who
presumably considered it
little more than the title im-
plies. If so. he was wrong.
It's a masterful work made
even more so by the
choreography of Balan-
chine and its fulfillment by

The final work of the
evening. the work that
guaranteed the next au-

La Ronde set to the aching-
ly lush music of Erich Kor-
FlWs SinforiieM. Opus 5.
It has become a familiar

features a acnes of pas de

them change as one

completed when once again

Wed. February 24, 19901 THE POST Page 7
,lith Rene Soetens, M.P.
The Government's Economic Statement has once again
focused attention on the Unemployment Insurance ( UU
Program. The UI program represents, by far, the largest
single investment in people. It will cost Canadians $20
billion this year - more than any other program. In 1990, this
government changed the UI legislation to allow some of this
huge expenditure to be used to help people improve their
employability. These efforts resulted in the law being
changed to allow for up to 15% of UI to be used for human
resource development activities like retraining the
unemployed. Until these changes. Canada's largest "people
program" was almost totally passive. That is, people were
payed income support while unemployed. but not offered
any means to improve themselves. It took many hard mon-
ths to get this change through parliament including, as you
may recall, a major battle in the senate.
Now there are more questions about the program. In par-
ticular, controversy surrounds the proposed changes to the
"Voluntary Quitters" rules. I would like to set the record
straight, and set aside fears that these changes will force
individuals to endure harassment. including sexual harass-
ment.
People who quit their jobs because of intolerable working
conditions, because of sexual or other harassment. because
of the need to follow their spouse or dependent child to
another location, because of discrimination, or because of
the need to care for a child will not be denied benefits. in-
deed if individuals so choose. any woman or man that is
sexually harassed in the workplace is justly entitled to gtnt
and receive Ul benefits without any penalty whatsoever.
Sexual harassment in any context is not tolerable. As a
society. we must ensure that zero tolerance is our goal. The
UI program supports this policy by recogtuang that sexual
harassment is just cause for quitting a job. UI staff are
grained and sensitized to this issue. They are instructed to
ensure that claimants in these situations are treated in a
manner that encourages them to come forward• and to en-
sure that they are given the benefit of the doubt.
What the changes proposed in the Economic Statement
will accomplish. however. is the disqualification from UI
benefits for those who quit their jobs without just cause, or
are fired for misconduct. This is a loophole that must be
closed. It is not reasonable to quit your job without good
cause and expect the working community to pay your way.
The most recent changes do not constitute a major
rethinking of the U1 program, but to be sure. Canadians are
going to have to take a Icing look at the program as a whole
We mist continue in the direction of the 19mo reforms to
design a system that provides hope for the urnemployed
and provides working solutions that enable them to share in
prosperity. I just hope that debate an new issues will be
more i donned than the spectacle that surrounded the UI
changes announced in the Economic Statement.

Beta Sigma Phi Helps Babies
As many of you are
aware Guardian Drugs has
been promoting a wonder-
ful way to help the
premature babies at our
local hospitals survive,
namely The Guardian
Angels Premie Program.
Bonnets. bootees and mitts
are needed to maintain a
premature infant's body
heat and this contribute to
their survival.
Beta Sigma Phi Sorority
(Scarborough Chapters)
decided they would like to
be a part of this worthwhile
endeavour and so asked
their members and
families ie. mothers, aunts,
friends to knit for the
.premtes"'
To their surprise they
received alm>,ost 200 outfits.
The response was
unbelievable. These outfits
were presented to Nelia
Correia who is in charge of
the Premie Program for
Guardian Drugstores. The
presentation was made on
City TV's Breakfast Televi-
sion.
Beta Sigma Phi Sorority
is an International
Woman's Organization
with 250,000 members in
chapters in 29 countries
throughout the world in-
cluding St Petersberg.

Russia. in Scarborough we
have 14 chapters with 2D0
members.
Beta Sigma Phi is a
social. cultural and service
organization with no
university affiliation and
members from every walk
of life.
The program exists only
in the provinces where
there are Guardian
Drugstores. namely On-
tario, New Brunswick.
%ova Scotia and Prince Ed-
ward Lsland. Them are Su>f00
volunteers knitting for the
Guardian Angels Program
and they supply knitted
outfits to premature in-
fants in 240 hospitals across
The program was started
because thetnanufacturets
of infant clothing did not
make these items in small
enough sizes to fit
premature babies.
Guardian Drugs
discovered this need and
decided to address it. Any
knitted outfits that are not
required immediately have
been sent to International
Relief Organizations as
they would deteriorate if
left sitting in their
warehouses. The extra out-
fits have been sent to such
places as Somalia. Mozam-
bk;ue. Boznai and Croatia.

Metroline Information
At Your Finger Tips
Have you ever had a
question and just didn't
know where to find the
answer? Something like:
"'Rlere is this surgical pro-
cedurTe that my doctor says
might help me - I world like
to get a list of medical -
journal articles that
discuss it, or that compare
it with nonsurgical ap-
proaches."
Or: A have an idea for a
humane mouwtrap - does
anyone else have a patent
on it already? Can I call it
"Mouse House" or is
somebody else already us-
ing it as a trademark"'
This is just a sampling of
the variety of information
requests that Metroline, at
the Metropolitan Toronto
Reference Library, 789
Yonge St., deals with every
day.
Metroline is the online
database search service at
the Metro Reference
Library. It's a service that
anyone looking for infor-
mation should know about.
Up-to-the-minute informa-
tion is vital in today's en-
vironment.
..libraries have become,
more than ever,in-
termediaries between the
seeker of the information
and the information
sought," says Mark Ken-
nedy, a Metroline
librarian. which is why
Metroline is such an impor
tant research tool. Access-
ing hundreds of databases
enables Metroline clients to
obtain information quickly
on almost anything - from
patents to trademarks,
from economics to famous
quotations.
Using Metroline can be
as easy as picking up the
telephone. Without leaving
your home or office, you
can place a search request
by phone or fax. Without
leaving the library,
Metroline staff are able to
access information from
distant cities or foreign
countries and mail or fax it
back to vou.
Depending on the detail
of a search, the average
cast ranges from $20 to iso,
but the benefits far
outweigh the casts. The
most important advantage
for using Metroline is the
ability to be as specific as
YOU want with a search.
Information obtained
through Metroline sear-
ches has also been used in
immigration bearings and
legal cases before the
courts, and even assisted
one client in determining
whether to live in British
Columbia or Utah on the
basis of water quality as
summarized by a search.
On Fri. Feb. 26th from 12
noon to 1 p.m. a free lunch
hour information session
on how Metroline can help
you find patents for
specific types of inven-
tions.

Tips
Minimizing risk of injury
Are you making the safety of your
players your top priority?
Due to the speed of hockey, it is
impossible to eliminate all injuries, but
you can reduce the chances of injury,
become trained in Fust Aid, and have an
Emergency Action Plan in place. With
planning. preparation and awareness of
safety pimples, you can minimize the risk
of serious injury.
Encourage your players to have a
medical examination before the season
starts. Complete a medical history file on
each player and bring them to games and
practices.
Implement a physical conditioning
program for your players and special
programs for players recovering from
injuries. Ensure that injured players are
properly rehabilitated before returning to
competition, and learn how to recognize
minor injuries that can be complicated by
continued participation.
Carefully teach your players technical
skills and rules of the game, along with the
proper techniques for taking a body check,
falling and making contact with the
boards. Work with other coaches in your
league to ensure stria application of the
rules by referees. Your players must
respect the opposition and never attempt
to injure an opposing player.
Before games and practices, make
certain the ice is free of debris, ruts, bare
spots and protrusions from the boards or
glass, and that full lighting is always used.
Make sure that all players wear full
protective, CSA, approved equipment for
games and practices.

Northdale Band Presents
Marching Through Winter
On Sun. Feb. 28 at 3 p.m.
the 40 -piece Northdale Con-
cert Band will present the
second concert of its
1992193 season "Marching
Through Winter", at Trini-
ty Presbyterian Church,
2'737 Bayview Ave., North
York ( just south of
Highway 401).
Ticket prices for this con-
cert are $8 for adults, $6 for
seniors and students.
Children under to are ad-
mitted free. Reservations
can be made by calling
421-6691 and tickets will
also be available at the
door.
"Marching Through
Winter" is a program of
non-traditional marches.
Instead of an obvious focus
on the works of such march
masters as the American
John Phillip Sousa or
England's Kenneth Alford,
Northdale's Music Direc-
tor, Mark Hopkins, has
selected repertoire that
ranges from traditional
marches from France such
as the "Marche de al Garde
Consulaire a Marengo,
Marche des Musiques de la
116volution", and Louis
Ganne's "March Lorraine"
to Beethoven's only known
work for wind band.
Sigessinfonie (commonly
know as Wellington's Vic-
tory March), performed in
its original form.
Percy Grainger's
"Children's March" will
also be featured as well as
P.D.Q. Bach's "March of
the Cute Little Wood
Sprite" (as arranged by
Professor Peter
Schickele ), which is sure to
"charm" the audience
even with the vocal
passages sung by the band'
,Health Notes
Dr. Jack Stein
Rheomatologjist and Chief
of Medicine
Scarborough General
Hospital
Recent advances in ar-
thritis treatment concepts.
and changes in the treat-
ment of arthritis have
paralleled the scientific ad-
vances in genetics and
molecular biology.
Although no cures have
emerged as yet, patients
are seeing the benefits of
early diagnosis in the many
different types of arthritis
resulting in more specific
treatment and control.
In rheumatoid arthritis,
aggressive treatmernt using
multiple drugs inchding
methotrexate, hydrox-
ychloroquine, gold and
prednisone in combination
appear to improve the long
term outlook with improv-
ed function, less damage
and disability. The key is
early and complete control
of inflammation while
avoiding serious side ef-
fects and complications.
New insights into the
multiple steps involved in

Systemic Lupus
Erytbenntosis (S. L. E-) is
the most common of the

The causes of these ar-

So Much
To Do In
Vancouver
From internationally
renowned Vancouver Sym-
phony Orchestra perfor-
mances at The Orpheum to
concerts in the parks,
there's music wherever
YOU go.
As for theatre, it's almost
as easy as naming your
preference. You'll find both
large scale touring produc-
tions such as "Joseph and
the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat" and "The
Phantom of the Opera" and
local, alternative produc-
tions of every stripe. The
prestigious Vancouver Art
Gallery and a multitude of
private galleries make
local and internationally
acclaimed art available to
everyone.
If you'd prefer to get a lit-
tle closer to the locals, try
Vancouver's vibrant club
scene. Whether you need a
jolt of jazz, some country
or entertainment that's
more or less off the wall,
it's all waiting for the
adventurous after hours
traveller.
There are also ways to
spend your days that get
you much closer to Van-
couver's scenic beauty. It
could mean a trip to visit
the killer whales at the
Vancouver Public
Aquarium. Or it could get
wilder.
With Stanley Park's LOW)
acres of forest. lawns and
trails you need never leave
the city. The seven mile
Sea Wall which winds
around the park is ideal for
walking. running or cycling
any day of the year.
Mild weather also means
you can golf virtually year-
round.
For the less bold. still
seeking the sights, take a
steam locomotive ride
along the Howe Sound
fjord, walk the longest
suspension footbridge in
the world over North Van-
couver's Capilaro Canyon
or charter a boat and crew
for some phenomenal
salmon fishing.
(M course, if vou'd like to
get away from the city.
that's convenient too.
There's sailing. hiking,
climbing and skiing in the
surrounding area.
If all this activity makes
you hungry. stop by North
America's second largest
Chinatown for a snack - or
a feast' But great Chinese
cuisine isn't all you can ex-
pect. Locals claim there
are so many restaurants in
Vancouver it could take up
to six years to do the town,
which isn't a bad way to
spend your time.
If you'd like a non -edible
reminder of your visit.
vuou'll find Vancouver
shopping exceptional.
From Robson Street for the
absolute fashionable to
upbeat Kitsilano and
mainstream downtown,
tings are of some of the
more well-known guests
who have stayed there in-
cluding: Empress

Highland Creek Women's Institute
by Evelyn Dempsey
Highland Creek women's
Institute met for its regular
meeting Feb. 10 at 1:30
p.m. at the home of
Catherine Closson.
The opening exercises
were observed - The open-
ing Ode, The Mary Stuart
Collect and the Lord's
Prayer.
The regular business in-
cluded arrangements for
the celebration of the 85th
Anniversary luncheon of
our branch to be held Mar.
10th. at Centennial Rouge
United Church Hall.
Many thank you cards
were read from those who
received Christmas boxes
and plants.
Several moments of
silence were observed in
remembrance of Mrs.
Belle Palmer who pa, -,:ed
away in January. Mrs.
Palmer had been a
member for many years.
The sympathy of the in-
stitute members is extend-
ed to her son and family.
Mrs. Pat Barratt, Educa-
tion and Culture convener
gave a very interesting talk
telling of the origin of Corn
Dollies from Ancient
Egypt. This ancient craft of
wheat weaving is being
revived in Canada. Tradi-
tional Egyptian styles are
still in use but many new
patterns have been adopted
from around the world.
From England is the
heart shaped design: from
Mexico a traditional house
blessing style. The corn
doll braid design is a tradi-
tional style done after
harvest.
Unweathered wheat can
be picked from the swath.
Some types of grains that
are used now are black -
bearded durum. oats.
barley. flax and grass. It is
necessary to have long
hollow -stemmed straws so
they can be joined by slipp-
ing one end over the other.
Because this weaving is
such an enjoyable pastime
it is believed that corn doll•
makiing will never die. Pat
had some interesting
samples of corn dollies for
display.
Birthday wishes were ex-
tended to :Mesdames Pat
Barratt, Cathy Closson and
Myrtle Skelton who
celebrate birthdays during
Februarv.
Refreshments with the
Valentine theme were serv-
ed by Mesdames Cathy
Closson. Mae Moore and
Evelyn Dempsey.
At the close of the
meeting Mrs. Mary Miller
acted as auctioneer for a
successful sale of Valentine
theme goodies that the
members had brought.
The Institute meets the
second Wednesday of each
month at 1:30 p.m. at

Church Hall. We welcome
new members to our

IN CDN('ERT:
Continuing exigencies of
space are such that one
cannot offer a full re%iew of
the most recent concert by
the North York Symphony
at the Leah Poslums
Theatre under the direction
of Kerry Stratton.
It's probably just as well
because one could get off
and running in fulsome
praise of a grand evening.
It will have to suffice that
soloist Peter Toperczer
was masterful in the
Tchaikowsky Piano Con-
cert No. 1 in B Flat Minor.
His dexterity was ad-
mirable and if the sand
was less than perfect. one
suspects it was the piano
which might have been tun-
ed
ed about a half tone higher
than should have been the
case. That's a highly sub-
jective comment, of
course, and not to be con-
sidered even mildly
depracatory.
:Maestro Stratton con-
ducted with controlled
verve and brought the or-
chestra to its best with the
Enesco Roumanian tan Rhap-
sody No. 1. It's a barn
burner and the audience
we're sure would cheerful-
ly have held back the fire
fighters.
The next concert is
scheduled for Apr. 1st and
will feature Beethoven's
Egmont Overture and
Schubert's Unfinished
Symphony among other
delights. Tie list named is
held in affection by vour
correspondent. As a chorus
boy we danced in Blossom
