Big Success by Bob Watson The enthusiasm of residents watching the Canada Day Parade in Scarborough this year was just as good as the highs generated last year. Canadian feeling is definitely there and almost everyone showed his or her strong Canadian feeling on the 127th. birthday of our country. Now if our politicians could just give the leadership to this strong Canadian feeling there would be no "separation for Quebec" movement. And our national debt could be lowered if handouts to such groups as multicultural groups could be eliminated. We don't know any racial group in Canada which could not generate its own resources. Maintaining our racial backgrounds is fine but we don't need government money to do it. Let's all be great Canadians - we have the best land in the world! War Amps Film Wins A War Amps film which tells the tragic story of slave labour experienced by Canada's Hong Kong Veterans in Japan during World War II won the top award for in-house films. This announcement was made at the WoridFest- Houston International Film and Video Festival in Houston. Texas. The award was presented by J. Hunter Todd. Chairman of the Film Festival before an au- dience of 500 documentary film producers and direc- tors and was accepted by the film's producer. Cliff Chadderton. Chief Ex- ecutive Officer of The War Amps and Patron of the Hong Kong Veterans' .Association The production. entitled --Canada's Hong Kong Veterans - The compensa- tion story". was released to cable stations across Canada in the Fall of 19903 and has since received outstanding public accep- tance. The Canadian film was chosen from among over 3.5W entries from 47 countries. "Undoubtedly, this award will lend added sup- port to our request that the Canadian government sup- port upport our claim against the Japanese or pay the $30 million in compensation itself." Chadderton stated. The film was hosted by Chadderton. who initiated the compensation claim at the United Nations in 1987. It also features several pro- minent Canadians with a key role in the claim: Pro- fessor John Humphrey. former Director of the Human Rights Division of the U.K.: Dr. Gustave Gingras. who documented the disastrous aftereffects on these young Canadians: Roger Cyr, of the Roval Rifles of Quebec. one of the survivors. and Brian Forbes. Association Solicitor of The War Amps. who steered the case through the U.N. In the film. Cyr's harrow- ing account of the daily atrocities he experienced in Japan is followed by Dr. Gingras' equally disturb- ing summary of the toll the constant physical and men- tal abuse continues to have on the survivors. Forbes describes the long stn 4We to get the claim through the sometimes cumbersome machinery of the U.N. while Humphrey delivers a scathing demniciation on the failure of Canada to protect the Human Flights of the Hong Kong veterans. Chadderton is confident that the Houston Film Festival award. combined with The War Amps July 1993 filing of a claim against the Canadian Government at the U.N. will focus Canada's atten- tion on the claim, which seeks $23.940 for the 500 surviving PoWs and 500 widows. Supported by in- ternational legal opinion, the claim maintains that Canada disregarded the in- dividual human rights of the PoWs as set out in the Geneva Convention by signing the 1952 Peace Treaty with Japan. "Japan has stonewalled the claim and Canada has ignored it. Canada is sham- ed in the eyes of the world at the U.K., and by the other countries that see this film, for not standing behind its own Hong Kong veterans." Chadderton said. The association's films are funded by corporate donations. They are availah' on loan to the public at no charge by writing: The War Amps. 2KC Riverside Drive.

Join Your Neighbours In Study On Immigration Have you ever• asked yourself. "1 know what 1 think about immigration, but why does my neighbour think differenth^" Now there's an opportunity to learn about dif- ferent points of view and what you have in common with others. as well as participate in a national consultation on immigration. Recently. the Minister for Citizenship and Immigration. Sergio %Lb r•ct i. announced that consultatiom on a strategic framework for immigration are now moving into their public phase. An important part of this phase will be the study circles to which Canadians will discuss immigration issues and provide advice to the Minister. Four study circles are now being formed in the :Metropolitan Toronto and Peel areas. These will be held at Yorkdale Secondary School on June :5th. City Adult Learn- ing Centre on July 9th, Cedarbrae Collegiate on July 16th. and Burnhamthorpe Collegiate on July 23rd. Those par- ticipating will be grouped into "circles" of 25 people and as many circles as possible will be formed. The study circles are open to everyone, but it is necessary to reserve before June 30th to receive information in advance. "Sttdy circles offer Canadians a chance to do more than just talk about an issue. using a study guide. people tackle a body of facts and weigh the pros and cons of policy choices. Study circle participants are like neighbours who come together to figure out how- best to handle their com- mon concerns," Marchi said. The study circles are being organized by a inn -profit organization - The Democracy Education Network.

(Dog Legislation) A vicious dog may do a lot of damage to a child or pet. We must 'simply' write the owners of such dogs (anonymously stating we will feed the dog ground beef with small 'cooked' chunks of sponge in it. this will not kill the dog but slow it down and eventually the owner will take the 'vicious' dog to the vet for ailments. The cost of vet bills will sometimes make owners think a little. I'm a dog lover (timid pets). We all have an obliga- tion to protect our children and our docile pets against vicious dogs & or owners. An R.C.M.P.

Scarborough West Make Good Forest Management The Law With nearly 50 communities dependent on forest industries and over 175,000 jobs in Ontario tied to forestry, good forest practices make economic as well as environmental sense. That's why Minister of Natural Resources Howard Hamp- ton introduced the Crown Forest Sustainability Act on June 1. Fines of up to it million for causing serious environnnental harm form part of the strong compliance mechanisms in the Act. The Act also provides for regeneration of forests to meet improved standards for forest renewal and planning of renewal before harvest. Good planning means planning for the whole forest, not just timber as a crop: it means managing for the water, wildlife, fisheries, vegetation and heritage values of a forest ecosystem. All of which. the new Act bears in mind. Importantly, the Act gives the people who live in com- munities that depend on forests for their economic stability a greater say in how forests will be managed. The Ministry of Natural Resources will be required to develop four manuals that outline standards and guidelines for forest operations and forest renewal, forest manage- ment planning and information. These manuals based on the objectives and principles of the Policy Framework for Sustainable Forests, will have the force of law and will pro- vide the flexibility needed to adopt forestl practices to dif- ferent ecosystems and to use new technology and informa- tion as it becomes available to improve forest practices. We hope to have Second Reading by the end of the spring session and Third Reading during the fall session. Making our forest practices sustainable is the only way Ontario can ensure international markets for its forest pro- ducts. It's all part of our plan to ensure economic renewal while maintaining our environment for future generations. X. notice This newspaper will not be published on Wed. July 13th and Wed. Julv 27th.

She is a student at Lawrence Park High School and every Wednes- day she has two spares from classes. Instead of meeting with the "gang" after school, Evelyn gets on a bus and travels to Sun- nphrook Health Science t'c.ntre for two and a half hours of volunteer work. Ninety-year-old, Arthur Parsons, made a similar commitment. Every Fri- day. he drives his car to Sunnvbrook where he volunteers with Wheelchair Services. he attributes his many years of good health to the exercise he gets as he wheels patients throughout the huge hospital. "I enjoy it," he says. "I like to jolly them along." Evelyn has volunteered in many different depart- ments since she began three years ago. Although her duties don't have her walking the long corridors of Sunnybrook. she is kept very busy. This year she is school. Ideas are presented for involving oneself in each of these areas.

Both Evelyn and Arthur find their volunteer work very rewarding. "It's a valuable experience," says Evelyn. "You really don't know what a hospital is like until you've worked in one." She began her volunteering on a nursing unit, then in Physiotherapy. "You learn things here and there," she says. "You see a bit more of what the world is like." For Arthur it's the in- teraction with people. He's been in Wheelchair Ser- vices for 20 years. "Meeting people and mak- ing them happy, that's what it's all about," he says. Over they ears he has made some strong ties with the people he volunteers with. Maud Haynes, a fellow volunteer, has known Arthur for 14 years through Sunnybrook and also through the Trace Main Senior Citizen group. She says ..Arthur never carnes in without a smi le on his face... During the summer mon- ths Arthur pursues other interests as students do the volunteering. Evelyn looks forward to the summer also.

But what about the years in between' Hospitals need volunteers during their peak daytime hours. In the past, many volunteers were mothers whose kids had gone to school.

This couple devoted their lives to serving their country and their fellow men and women. Their efforts at helping refugees durine World War II were particularly noteworthy. Georges was Minister to the Ci taidian Legation in Paris when the war broke out. Deeply dis- tressed by the plight of the Jews, he unsuccessfully attempted to persuade the Canadian govern- ment to allow them to immigrate to Canada. Two years after Vanier assumed his Parisian post the Germans invaded Paris and the Vaniers fled to London. Pauline worked for the French Red Cross where she was able to put her Georges and Pauline Vanier warm personality to good use, cheering up suffering t=rench sol- diers and refugees. Later that year the Vaniers returned to Canada. Both of them lectured widely - urging Can- adians to support the war eltott. Paris was liberated in 1944 and the Vanier. returned to France. Refugees were pour- ing into Pari.. Georges Vanier repeatedly tip - pealed to Otlawa to accept the many refugees who besieged the Canadian cnthassy with requests to go to Cmada. Pauline oranized reception services at the Station. "We greeted the retit,_ees with drinks, refreshments, clothes and survival kits, and tried to reach their families, friends or anyone who might take them in.:1.1any, however, hail no idea whether anyone they knew was .rill alive, let alone their whereabouts.

The waiter refused to serve them, saying that he was instructed "not aro serve coloured people". The case went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canatia. In its 1939 judgement, the Supreme Court found that the tavern had acted within the law. The Chief Justice of the Court declared that if the man had been "humiliated". then it was only because he had been so persistent about demand- ing service. Thus, in the middle of the 2 century, discrimination on the. basis of race was declared to perfectly legal.

On a visit to New Glasgow in November, she took a courageous stand against the indignities of racial discrimination. Movie theatres in New Glas- gow were segregated. Whites sat downstairs, blacks sat upstairs. Viola Desmond bought a ticket for the balcony section, but she sat downstairs. When confronted by the manager, she offered to pay the differ- ence in price between the twoseats, but she refused to move. The theatre manager called the 0th police, who carried her away and held her overnight in jail. The next be day she was brought in front of the s court. Without a lawyer to repre- sent her, she was fined $20 for pools, dance halls, theatres and hotels. In 1946, Viola Desmond, a successful black businesswoman having defrauded the government of a I cent entertainment tax. But the battle was not yet over. With the help of the Nova Scotia Association for the Advance- ment of Coloured People (N.S.A.A.C.P.). she appealed the decision.

Last Remaining Elk Gets A Temporary Reprieve Months of lobbying by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) to save the ortly remaining wild elk in On- tario have stopped the federal government from expanding a military train- ing zone through a fragile habitat near Sudbury. The approximately 70 "Burwash" elk, named after an abandoned provin- cial prison site, now have a brighter future. The 6,000 acres previously slotted for a federal military exercise zone will be turned over to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Brian Charlton, Chairman of Management Board of Cabinet, has told the OFAH in a letter. Although elk once freely roamed much of Ontario, loss of habitat and unrestricted hunting forced their demise decades ago.

Both OFAH and college biologists showed the federal government that the expanded military plans threatened the herd. But although the elk's future is brighter, the en- tire battle is not yet won, said OFAH President Terry Smeltzer. "We congratulate the On- tario government in obtain- ing this land for the elk but their health is not yet secured." said Smeltzer.

Multi le p. Sclero sis SOCIETY OF CANADA 1-800-268-7582 What Every Man Needs To Know Over 30 million in North America, 1 million in Canada and 250,000 men in Metropolitan Toronto are moderately or completely impotent. Although rarely discussed, impotence is a common health problem. Studies indicate that up to 50 percent of all men will have a problem with their erections at some time in their lives. But unlike other physical health conditions, impotence generates em- barrassment, shame, isola- tion and silence on the part of men who suffer from it. It's these emotions that often prevent men from seeking treatment for a treatable condition. Dr. Richard Casey, urologist and director of The Male Health Centres says, "The myths surroun- ding impotence are not founded on any medical facts, impotence is not an old man's disease and its cause isn't solely psychological. A man in ,good physical and mental health can expect to have sex well into his eighties and up to 700 of impotence cases have physical causes. " Common Causes impotence isn't rare because unfortunately. its causes are common. An ex- ample is a 55 year old man who has a heart attack. bypass surgery and later discovers he can't have in- tercourse. In fact, the most frequent causes are diseases that reduce Wood flow to the penis such as atherosclerosis thardening of the arteries), previous lower abdominal surgery and blood pressure medica- tions. Other cootitrton causes are diseases conditions that interfere with the ner- vous system such as diabetes. multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury. A typical example is a 45 year old with diabetes. As his disease progresses. he may become impotent. Ad- ditional causes include per- formance anxiety. side ef- fects from medications, ex- cessive alcohol intake, serious depression, high cholesterol and least likely. low hormone levels. Psychological causes usually involve a wide range of feelings such as anxiety and guilt. These feelings can arse from everyday situations. A man who loses his wife of thirty years may feel guilt when he is with a new partner or a 40 year old man who ex - perienced a painful divorce has problems performing. Often there are several factors contributing to the problem. Although the ma- jority of cases have �ysical causes, the pro - nil is complicated fur- ther by a man's psychological response to his condition. This response is usually a com- bination of anxiety, frustration and anger which prompts a man's body to release neurotransmitters that constrict the penis' cor- poral bodies which prevents erection. Successfully Treated Impotence is shrouded in secrecy winch feeds and perpetuates the misinfor- mation about the condition. What men need to know is that impotence can be suc- cessfully treated. Joan Graham. general manager of The Male Health Centres and a nurse wiro specializes in the treatment of im- potence, urges men to act quickly. She explains "that men wait an average of three years between the onset of the problem and treatment. This waiting is pointless and only in- creases the severity of the problem which inflicts greater pressures and anx- iety on a man and his part- ner. " The Male Health Centres specialize in the treatment of impotence. A com- prehensive assessment and treatment program has been designed by a team of respected urologists and specwlly trained nurses. Through this team struc- ture, urologists direct client treatment programs and nurses deliver the care and counselling. This struc- ture allows clients the time and accessibility they need. Nurses conduct a three hour assessment and testing followed by a con- sultation with a urologist. The team and the client together decide on a coarse of treatment. There are a variety of treatment options. The most effective treatments are those which clients and their partners shared in the decision to have and feel Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) The Toronto Hospital for Sidi Children, Chest Divi- sion, is offering asthmatic children between the ages of 5 to 12 years the oppor- tunity to participate in a six year asthma study entitled the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP). The aim of the project is to help asthmatic children to be the healthiest they can be. It is sponsored by the American National In- stitutes of Health. The Hospital for Sick Children is one of eight centres (the only Canadian one) each looking to recruit 120 asthmatic children. In order to be eligible to enrol, asthmatic children will undergo a thorough screening process during which time several tests will be performed to ensure that they are suitable can- didates. Once they are ac- cepted into the program, children will be randomiz- ed into one of three treat- ment groups - two anti- inflammatory groups and one as required bron- chodilator group. All chldren participating will receive a bron- chodilator rescue Inhaler to be used as needed. CAMP will help to answer the question of whether it is better to treat asthma with preventive medications or to treat asthma only when the child is symptomatic. Other issues this study hopes to shed light on is the effect of asthma medica- tions or asthma itself on children's physical and psychological growth and development and lung function. Participants will benefit from close monitor- ing of their health status and growth over many years. In this study, asthmatic children and their families will be given quality asthma care and current education on asthma treat- ment. Asthma study medications and tools re- quired will be provided at no cost. comfortable with. There are a wide range of treatments which include erection aid devices, surgery, counselling and drug therapy. The Male Health Centres' clinical studies department is cur- rently conducting ex- perimental studies for new drugs that will be available in the future. All Aspects of life Impotence is a condition Wt can strongly affect all aspects of a man's life, especially his relationships and how he values himself. The same can be said for a man's partner who also feels rejected. Anxiety, denial, embarrassment, anger, frustration, guilt, depression, and a loss of confidence are the range of emotions that are ex- perienced. The conse- quences of these emotions can be marriage breakdown and or poor work performance. The feeling of being 'less than a man' and 'I am the only one' isolates a man from his partner and prevents him from being successful- ly treated. This painful and poten- tially life damaging ex- penence can be avaoided or minimized if men would seek treatment immediate- ly. Men need to understand that impotence is a can - mon health problem that is treatable. There isn't a reason to be ashamed and to suffer in silence.

Parnu It's summer time and a cot- tage is the perfect spot to "get away from it all" but getting away doesn't include forgetting about safety or fire prevention. To protect your cottage, con- sider these basic fire safety tips: For the structure itself, select fire-resistant materials: metal roofing and aluminum siding may not look as nice as logs and wooden shingles, but they're a safer choice. If you can't resist wood, treat it with a fire -retardant every few years. • Dry grass and debris collect under open porches, decks and floors, so close them in. This will keep sparks from blowing in and setting fire to dry floor joists and rafters. "As you would in any home (but especially a seasonal re%i- dence). maintain the fuse boxes. beaters. wiring, %love%. and other possible beat sources." says Brian Speirs. a los,% prevention expert with The Co-operators. • Store cleaning fluids and other flammable materials in approved containers. And stack any firewood or lumber well away from the building. Often peopk place BBQ% too close to wooden cottage walk - three feet is a good rule of thumb. • K,:cp fiberglass Moat% and canoes away from build- ings. since thcv're highly tlammahlc.

You should also consider es- tablishing a fire break, which is an area around your cottage that won't fuel a fire. Your basic protection is to keep the grass cut and raked. But there is much more you can do to create pri- mary and secondary fire breaks. A primary break is a clearing of all ground within five metres of your building. Space trees so the tops are at least five metres apart. Prune branches so they're at last three metres away from a chimney or stove pipe. Re- move flammable ground litter such as dead grass and trees, branches. and household debris. A %ccondan fire break ex- tend% at kart 15 metres from your buildings.

Security Tips "Host cottage losses reputed have to Jo with burglary and tended," says Speirs. There are two main things you can do to cut your losses: 1) Remove all your personal belongings, especially things like TVs. VCRs, etc. 2) Remove all your recre- ational equipment. Items like outboard motors and skidoos are easily stolen and then sold by thieves. Speirs suggests starting with the basics such as installing a deadbolt lock (with at least a 2-5 centimetre bolt) which is operated with a removable thumb tum instead of a key. That way. even if the burglar reaches in through a broken window•, the door cannot be opened. Installing extra locks may discourage the thief who is looking for an easy way in. Installing unbreakable plastic panels over vulnerable areas (like ground floor windows) that are big enough for a person to climb through are an added precaution worth considering. .NC%er leave keys hidden near doors or under mats. Speirs adds a final sugges- tion. -'Even some of the most welt -protected cottages have been hurgtarizcd so it's very important to review and update your %cay.nal residence in- %urancc polio% ever} ♦car. it will help enure %ou'rc adc- quatch co%crcd for your per- %onal propert%. in case you are hurglariued.

Stay Safe Stay Alert..Stay Safe, SASS) launches its fourth annual SASS Month this April -a time of year when parents, teachers, police officers and community groups across the country are reminded to focus their attention on children's safety. Stay Alert..Stay Safe is a national streetproofing organization that provides children with the skills and confidence they need to help protect themselves and deal effectively with potential danger. Since its inception in 1987. SASS has sent its s;treetprmfing message to over 1.200 elementary schools from coast to coast. I1 has produced and distributed over 3 million comic book -style streetpr(Wing brochures, 38,444 community teacher guidebooks and animated videos, and more recently. 1.740 copies of a new interactive computer software program to schools, police departments and community groups across the cnuntrv. During SASS month this year, schools and police departments from Sydnev, Nova Scotia. to Glace Bay B.C. are holding streetpronfing activities such as clinics, displays and five appearances by SA.S.S mascots Bert dr Gert to give young children the chance to learn some important tips and safety measures. There will also he special streetpronfing events taking place at Canadian Tire stores across the country. "We're extremely proud of our accomplishments to date." says SASS founder Leslev Parrott, "Each year we try to add new elements to our streetprmfing program to keep it vital. This year, we are pleased to announce the first-ever SASS Drama Challenge - a competition that invites Students from over I,00o elementary schools in Toronto and Grande Prairie. Alberta to create and videotape their own streetproo4ing production for the chance to win great pri7PS and develop their own interpretation of what streetproofing means to them."

Not cats chasing mice but animated com- puter people in a system known as Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE). It has helped Jaguar achieve a technological breakthrough in reducing car design time, cutting some work from weeks to hours, and increasing car design innovations. When the "people" in the computer -drawn car complain they can't see the road or the dashboard properly, have trouble with the hood or trunk, the engineers make the appropriate design adjust- ments. Their tireless helpers can provide feed- back on issues only the most exacting customer would normally notice. Says Director of Pro- duct Engineering, Clive Ennos, "Jaguar has a long-standing reputation for engineering excellence, innovation and vision. Our commitment to KBE technology is significant to our customers. We can be more responsive to cus- tomer needs, our cars can be better engineered and we have a powerful tool in our drive for continuous product improvement." As a pioneer of this technolo- gy among luxury car mak- ers, Jaguar, it appears, is the cartoon cat to watch. 4frd..lul� fi, 1991 Tiff: NEWS POST fake 9 Community Sports Notes Jr. Men's Amateur Softball Tournament Softball swings and cham- pionship rings.

July 6. 1994 Bill Watt's Worlds In Print Every so often, but regret- tably not ever so often, a book comes along that becomes a favourite. That is to say, one which a per- son can return with un- diminished pleasure and frequently, discovery over a lifetime. The Alienist by Caleb Carr (Random House) is such a book. Prior to the twentieth cen- tury, persons who suffered from mental illness were thought to be "alienated" not only from society but from their own true natures. The experts who studied mental pathologies came to be known as alienists. In New York City in 1896 an alienist receives the backing of the city police commissioner to set up an unofficial and unorthodox task force to capture a serial killer of boy pro- stitutes. The alienist is Dr. Laszlo Kreisler: the com- missioner is Theodore Roosevelt. A newspaper reporter, John Moore is a seconded member of the force and fust person nar- rator. The three have been friends since school days. So the scene is set for a long A93 pages) novel fill- ed with details of turn of the century N.Y.0.... its vulgar wealth, degrading poverty, corrupt police force ( Roosevelt is trying to stop the corruption) and downright decadence. The city openly allows brothels for those of any sexual proclivity but especially those who like young boys dressed as equally young girls. The fiend for whom the search is on mutilates his victims by removing the genitalia and ... the eyes. Forensic science is in its relative infancy and so the task team must employ its native wits and pian foot- work to determine and ap- prehend the killer. As well. it must battle corrupt polititians. police, the Church, the underworld and the impoverished lower classes. Mr. Carr has a fine writing style that allows compels one to read quickly and the experience of so doing is pleasurable. So pleasurable is it that on- ly after finishing does one feel that there might be several gaps of credibility or explaination in the nar- rative: the significance of Kelly the gang boss, to cite just one example. Or, are there? Did one simply read too fast and miss relevant pages? So, back to the book again for further insight and fur- ther pleasure. That's what makes a book a favourite. It has also made The Fast a►s APp� Alienist a deserved best seller. ,On Record Now that summer school recess is with us, here are a number of albums to help keep the children amused on long car trips and rainy days either at the cottage or at home. The latest from Sharon, :Lois and Bram is Songs For Round (sic) The Campfire (Elephant A.&M.). The Column doesn't suggest that the album be played whilst "sitting around a campfire" -that'd be tacky - but rather, in the car on the way to cottage or camp. Let the little ones learn the songs then, for singing later around a friendly fire. Among the 24 short tracks - we couldn't say short cuts - are the following. "A." Your adorable, a good way to teach the alphabet. Down In The Palley. Skip To My Lou. It's Raining, It's Pouring. She'll Be Cumin' Round r sic again) The Mountain. And, of course. there's Puf- ferbellies. (Anyone out there remember when it was recorded by the Tom- mv Dorsev Orchestra as Doom By The Station?) Good album with good production values. Squirmws by The Treetop Kids (T.K.C.) features original songs by Jeff King who's one of the kids. Mar- cy Tepper is the other. The children will have to make their own determina- tion on these songs. Tbey're certainly tuneful and rhythmic but. for an adult, it's difficult to relate to them on fust hearing . We did enjoy the modified reggae beat of Jamaican Dinosaur. The Column unhesitating- ly recommends Sphere Clown Band ( One Eve Duck) for pre-schoolers. All the songs have an infec- tious, firm beat. the melodies are simple and jokes are the sort that wee children like to here. This is a MAPL registry• which is to say that it's completely Canadian...Music. Artists, Production and Lyrics. One of the artists is drummer David Monis. We find ourself wondering if he's any relation -a son perhaps - of guitarist Hank :Homs who was the rhythmic back bone of many of Toronto's trios in the golden fifties. The latest Disney animated feature release is The lion King. Many are saving it's the best such release since the death of Walt Disney over a quarter of a century ago. The story line combines elements of Bambi and, wait for it, No Debt Around and About F Your Dining & Entertainment Guide Hamlet. It's immensely popular with the children ( not sur- prising) and with their parents (very surprising). Long line ups at theatres and concomittant strong showing at the box office all point to it as having legs enough to carry through to Labour Day at least. The sound track has been sent along to us by Mary Arsenault (not chocolate and cheese brownies but we forgive you Mary) and it pleasures to report that it's just as enjoyable away from the screen images. Elton John isn't a Column favourite but his music here is tuneful and the lyrics of Tim Rice are amusingly literate. Listen- ing to them it's not difficult to realize why Andrew Lloyd -Webber ended his collaboration with the tat- ter. Mr. Rice's lyrics over- shadow Llovd-Webber's music and thev do so here with the melodies of Elton John. Disney Doings: Har6ourfront. ever cogni- zant of merchandising situations, is strong on Disney this summer. One of the Queen's Quay Terminal's newest special- ty retail shops is the World of Animation. This Satur- day it introduces Disney Event Sculpture for those who look beyond seeming kitsch to see genuine art. Then, there's The Anima- tion Gallery which is presenting the Art of Disney through the month of July. In conjuarction with artists from the Disney-M.G.M. Florida Theme Park, there will be continuing demonstrations of inking and painting animation cels. That's where one ap- preciates the fine art of American manual anima- tion as opposed to the mechanical skill of Japanese computerized manufacture. Rock .And Golf This Thursday and for the two Thursdays following, the Annandale Gold and Country Club in Ajax is hosting the Canadian Roots Rock Series. The significance of the ti- tle escapes us but among the bands to be presented are April Wine (That sounds like an cult wein operetta but shoorasell isn't), Colin James and Road Apples in a Tribute to The Tragically Hip. Where do these bands get such names?

Cancellation: Because of a stated scheduling conflict and. we suspect, a strong escape clause. Michael Feinstein has cancelled his July 27th and 28th concerts at the North York Performing Arts Centre. The Column is receiving bad vibes over the cancellation. We have a feeling that he'll not be scheduled for the !North York again and perhaps nowhere ever in Metro. Fortunatley. the other ar- tists in the Summer at the Recital Hall series are still scheduled to appear. They are Tony Bennett, jazz singer Nancy Wilson and saxophonist David San- born. On T.Y. : Much has been made over the years of the 39 episodes of Jackie Gleason's The Honeymooners series. What many have forgotten &AMA M Stretching your money to the limit Let us help you is that they were an exten- sion of comedy sketches that had been performed several years earlier on Mr. Gleason's variety show. Family channel has secured local telecasting rights to the fust ever Honeymooner's sketch. It features Pert Kelton ( not Audrey Meadows) as Alice and Elaine Stritch ( not Joyce Randolph or Jane Kean) as Trixie. As well, Art Carney appears as a policeman. That's before he was cast as Ed :Norton. The show will be seen this Sunday at 10 p.m. and will be repeated July 16th, 25th and 29th.

New Methodology To Classify Vehicles For Insurance A new methodology for rating physical damage premiums for auto in- surance will provide con- sumers with important in- formation to help them make informed choices when purchasing their vehicles. Acceptance of the new methodology was an- nounced today by the On- tario Insurance Commis- sion. Developed by the Vehicle Information Centre of Canada (VICC) in conjunc- tion with actuarial con- sulting firms and with in- put from car manufac- turers, the new methodology, known as the Canadian Loss Experience Automobile Rating (CLEAR), has been ap- proved by the Commission for use in setting auto in - surance premiums. CLEAR makes a signifi- cant departure from the current method of assess- ing physical damage rates based on the manufac- turers suggested retail price of a vehicle to a system that takes into ac- count safety, damageabili- ty, cost of repairs and theft potential. VICC monitors the marketplace and A Financial Plan Can Reduce Your Taxes by Anthony S. Layton, M.B.A.. R.F.P. If you think only the wealthy can use the tax laws to their advantage. think again. Everybody has options available to them to reduce both their yearly and future tax bills. All it takes is a little tax planning and the develop- ment of a comprehensive financial plan. If you haven't thought about your taxes until the April filing date ap- proaches, it's probably too late to do anything signifi- cant to reduce your tax burden. Tax planning is an orrgoing process and is a vital element in the development of a com- prehensive financial plan. A financial plan is a set of integrated strategies designed to achieve your personal and finatrcial ob- jecti ves, based on your cur- rent financial situation. The financial planning pro- cess used by Members of The Canadian Association of Financial Planners can help you clarify your pre- sent financial situation. identify both your long and short term goals and objec- tives. and provide you with written recommendations to meet those objectives. The first. and what LEADERSWANTED f oCanadaads 1� Cell for ettltl . of Ca Guides du Canada 1-800-505-8111 should be the easiest, tax planning strategy that every working Canadian should employ is to make their maximum RRSP con- tribution each year. Although most Canadians do not seem to fully realize this, an RRSP is not only an effective way to save money for retirement. it is also a sure-fire way to reduce taxes. Since many people have difficulty in making their maximum RRSP contribu- tions, a financial planner can develop a game plan that will help you make yourcontributions ttu'oi ghout the year. A pre - authorized chequing plan 1 PAC ) will automatically transfer each month a set amount from your bank ac- count to your RRSP ac- count. This way you can begin making your con- tributions at the beginning of the year. rather than waiting until the last mo- ment. when you may not have available funds. Ensuring that you make your maximum RRSP can- tribution is, however, only one way to reduce taxes. Four financial planner can advise you on all the deduc- tions you can legally claim, including those on invest- ment and accounting ser- vices. By analyzing total family income. your plainer may advise you to contribute to a spousal RRSP in order to lower the tax on total fami- ly income during retire- ment. This allows a high in- come earner to take advan- tage of the RRSP tax deduction, while allowing a lower -earning partner to generate retirement in- come. If you have investment both inside and outside of an RRSP, a financial plan- ner will also advise you how to best take advantage of the different tax treatments on different classes of investments. If you work from home, run your own small business, or are a commis- sion salesperson, there are other strategies available that you can use to reduce the taxes that you pay. A financial planner can even develop a plan to minimize taxes when you transfer your estate to your heirs. Because of the complex- ities of Canada's tax laws, generally the only way that the average Canadian can take advantage of all the opportunities available is by consulting a profes- sional. This does not mean taking your tax return to an accountant or tax preparer just before the filing date. To make sure that you're paying as little in taxes as possible, you have to start planning for your taxes all year fig• If you would like more in- formation on personal financial planning or how to choose a financial plan- ner, contact The Canadian Association of Financial Planner's national Office at 60 tit.

CA�'TEL: Mobility analyses auto accident data to determine the fre- quency, severity and costs associated with specific vehicles when they are in- volved in auto accidents. While the CLEAR methodology represents a key factor to be used in assessing risk, it is only one of several criteria used in determining the physical damage portion of an auto insurance policy. Recognition of CLEAR as a relevant indicator of what types of vehicles are most likely to generate costly claims is expected to be adopted by auto insurers to help establish the com- prehensive portion of their rates. "At this time it is up to in- surers to decide whether they want to use the CLEAR formula," said Blair Tully, Ontario In- surance Commissioner. "Eventually, however, CLEAR will be incor- porated into a mandatory uniform classification plan which will reflect new ap- proaches to rating auto in- surance premiums. The draft classification plan is expected to be released by the Commis- sion later this year and will be implemented on a phased -in basis. The CLEAR methodology is revenue neutral to the insurance in- dustry but could result in premium shrifts for some consumers initially. The VICC will work with in- surers to minimize this im- pact on individual policyholders. Making this informa- tion available to the public will enable consumers to choose a vehicle carefully and reduce their auto in- surance premiums for col- lision and comprehensive," said Mr. Tully. "That, coupled with the introduc- tion of a new classification plan. will make the setting of premium rates fairer, more uniform and more understandable for con- sumers.
