Kill The GST!
by Bob Watson
The federal government is busy analyzing these days about
what to do with the most expensive and idiotic tax in Canada - the
GST. One Liberal M.P. had the answer sorne years ago and we
hope the liberal govenime nt will adopt his simple and excellent
way of dealing with this problem.
Dennis Mills. M.P. said to cancel the GST and put 4.7% more on
incorne tax. This was the best way of handling this great problem.
The GST has resulted in 3000 extra federal savants. Extra
income tax does not create more employees. The GST cages
private businesses billions of dollars in lost labour making out
forms for coileciton and calculating the amount to said in to the
government.
Generally speaking taxes on income are the fairest taxes
because if you don't earn it you don't pay. When taxes are on sales
it affects everyone in society regardless of your inane.
Let's kill the GST and put it on Income Tax.
About The Voting
M• Bob Wat_cen
With the municipal elections coming up in November it is ver)r
important that the voters get tuned in to the candidates runshR
for election in their ward for Weal council, Metro Council and
sound trustee.
it is our opinion that kms• government is usuapv the result of
uninformed votes putting their "X" on the voting pipers. It is
very important to have intelligent voters who analyse and vote for
whom thev think is the best candidate.
I.ncal government is also the one level of government which is
dose to the people and can affect each person's life. Of course,
provincial and federal votes are also ven• important as well but
they hoth get moi publicity than the local vote.
So for the November election Ret infornsatim as much as

Former Patient Helps
Others Learn To Cope
When Alf Rees felt unwell in a downtown bazaar in
Calcutta, India in 1992, it was the beginning of an incident
that would help many men who are learning to live with the
results of a long-term illness.
An evangelical missionary, 68 year old Rev. Alfred Rees
( `Alf" to most who know him) was working in India when he
suspected he had a stroke. He faced a harrowing 18 hours in
the air, without telling airline officials that he was unwell
because he was afraid he would not be allowed to fly. But
Alf wanted to be examined in Canada. Once back, he went
right to North York General Hospital, where the diagnosis
was confirmed.
Ao
a
Alf was in hospital fora r.:- ... :,,. harge. he was
referred to the Day Hosp,:;,. ;,:„r r. fork General's
Seniors' Health Centre for continuing therapy. He went
twice a week for eight months to improve his functioning
and k2m how to live with the remaining limitations.
One year after his stroke, Alf started a man's support
group at the Day Hospital. His motivation was simple:
Appreciation—the Day Hospital helped me so much and
the staff were so very kind, congenial and patient. I feel I
owe the therapists and the organization something,.. he
says. His philosophy is to think positively. "i start each ses-
sion with, "Well boys, we're the survivors,” he says. "i try
to keep them away from too much concentration on what's
gang wrong. -
The role of group leader colones naturally to Alf. As
minister of Barfield Memorial Church in North York for 25
years, he did a lot of counsellling, some of which he con-
tinues.
Most of the men in the support group have had a stroke,
while others have Parkinson's disease. Each group imeets
weekly for three to four months. "My main work is to see
that the men are encouraged. It helps with their rehabilita-
tion," says Alf. "We talk about a lot of things, like what's in
the news, or how to have a shower or practise skills.
Sometimes we talk about things you might feel foolish br-
inging up to a therapist."
Alf worked closely with Day Hospital staff in planning
how his group would take shape, and they recommend
which clients can benefit from the group. All of the group
members also take part in the Day Hospital program,
which is designed to help frail elderly people learn skills so
they can continue living in the community as long as possi-
ble. Most clients visit the Day Hospital twice a week for
three to four months.

No Price Too High
Do you have memories of the Second World War tucked away
in a drawer? Producers of No Price Too High, a television series
on Canadians and the Second World War, are searching for first-
hand accounts that date from the period.
Because No Price Too High is based on such documents, its
producer's are actively soliciting letters, diaries, photographs,
audio recordings and film footage written or made during the
years, 1938 to 1945, covered by the series. Selected documents will
be used to tell the story of the Second World War from the
viewpoint of a representative cross section of Canadians whose
lives were deeply touched by the events of those momentous
years. An example would be correspondence between a
serviceman overseas and his parents or wife back in Canada.
Anybody with information regarding such letters, diaries,
photographs or private auris records or film footage, or who has
acoess to such documents, is asked to contact the Research Office
of No Price Too High, 95 Penetang Street, Orilha. Orit.. MV 3144.
The no charge longdist�anee telephone cumber from anywhere in
Canada is 1 (800) 524.3528. The fax number is (705) 32; a5ffi. All
dx igirtaI material forwarded to this address will n orbeisiet ned.
Please consider sending photocopies. i
would be appreciated by October 31.1994.
No Price Too High will make available to all Canadians an
aecumte, moving account of Canada's contribution to victory in
the Second World War, coveting all services and all phases of the
war effort, at home as well as abroad. No Price Too High will be
broadcast nationally on television in the fall of 1985, and it will be
available Subsequently for educational and home use on video
cassette.
The television production company making No Price Too High,
Norflidks Productions Ltd., recently produced 'Battle Diary: a
clay it the life of Charlie Martin". an emotionally evocative and
intimate one hour documentary aired the everting of June 6, 1984
on CBC for the 50th amiversary of the Canadian landing in
Andy.
A comprehensive and accurate perspective of Canadian
involvement in the Second World War is assured by the
participation of the No Price Too Higji Foundation and its
Advisory Board. Membership on the board incliides its Chairman.

Affordability Rides Mortgage Rate Roller
Coaster
Housing affordability rode a mortgage rate roller coaster
in the first half of the year, according to Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corporation's I CMHC I Canadian
Housing Markets report.
"The roller coaster started m March when three year rates
soared from a record low of 6.5 percent to 10.375 percent by
late June - one of the fastest increases since these rates were
widely introduced in 1980." said Kirk Duerden. Market
Analyst with CMHC s Market Analysis Centre. Since early
March. affordability dropped as the percentage of renters
who could buy an average priced starter home fell from 41.3
percent to 26.6 percent.

skeletal problems, mobility problems, or arthritis," says
Judy Aiken, Director of the Day Hospital. These concerns
are often compounded by depression, isolation or bereave-
ment. "They may be grieving the loss of a loved one, but
they may also be grieving their own loss of function.
"The men's group is extremely valuable," she adds,
"because many older men don't have a strong network of
friends who can be supportive. it's important for them to
have support, especially from others who are going through
a similar experience...
Alf is so dedicated to the group that he travels to the Day
Hospital every week from his cottage home in Wasaga
Beach. Alf has had other ties that take him to North York
General as well. His wife Lela, who had ovarian cancer and
died recently, was cared for at the Hospital. One of their
four daughters (they also have a son) works in the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit, and another one worked there as a
nurse for 14 years.
The road to recovery from a stroke is often long, and for
Alf Rees, the journey that started in India has led to a small
group of men who every week walk that road together and
remember that they've still got a lot to be thankful for.

Little
Theatre's
1Oth.Year
On Sept. 27, Joe Orton's
biting 1%W comedy ..Loot
kicks off the 10th anniver-
sary season for the Toronto
Downtown Little Theatre.
Presented at St. Michael's
Theatre, 121 St. Joseph St.
the show is directed by
Derek Burke.
More comedy follows
starting Nov. 8 with a
modern translation of
Molic6re's "The Imaginary

"Who's Afraid of Virginia

The Toronto Downtown

a love of the theatre and
everyone works
"overtime" to make great

as a group is to involve
members of the communi-

and behind -the -scenes.

that blazed with deter-
mination. These kids hurt
but they were fighters.
They wanted to get on with
life. They wanted to
become a part of life again.
Then were was me.
And Rodney.
He came over to me, a
novice in grey pants, white
shirt, striped tie and shiny
shoes (the standard ex-
ecutive uniform) and he
said to me ''Hey hub! do
you was to we my scar?.'
I didn't have a clue what he
was talking about. All I saw
was a thin little boy with
tubes and a portable pump
beeping away behind him.
"Sure, I said, just to ap-
pease him and get him an
his merry little way.
Well with that, he ripped
open his Pyles nip to
reveal a roadmap of scars
all over his upper torso. He
thought they were neat ... 1
thought I was going to
faint.
We became the best of
friends, he and 1. Me a city
slicker and this lttle ruffian
from a small town near
Peterborough, Ontario.
He'd never been to Cubs
before but be was in-
terested. I taught him
knots. He taught me pa-
tience.
I taught him signalling
and secret memo writing,
he taught me how to com-
municate and listen. He
was only there for six
weeks but we both learned
so much.
One night my duties at
the office held me up. As
soon as I arrived and
started to change into my
uniform, our Group Leader
carne into the roan and
said. "You better hurry up,
someone on the sixth floor
in a bed is ready to knock
down walls if you don't
stow up."
When 1 got to the sixth
floor, I could hear him on
his bed coning down the
hall moaning, "He promm-
ed, he said he'd be here."
From that moment on I
was booked. Never again
did I see an IV tube or a
bandage or a scarred face,
or sadness or suffering; on-
ly the beautiful child wan-
ting so much to kern, and
bave fun and be with other
kids.
And that became my job,
to help bring these young
people together every
Wednesday night.
All of this happened a few
years ago. I hear he's going
for his Chid Scout Award
any day now. That's the
highest award in Canada
that a boy can earn. He
tells me that I was his in-
spiration to go on and
achieve this award. I think
he was my inspiration.

6th.Toronto Scouts
Started Meetings In 1909
Back when Toronto was
just a tad over 40 years old,
a Scouting Group named
the 6th Toronto Group,
started having Scout
meetings at St. Nicholas
Church out on the Kingston
Road. The year was 1909.
Back in those days,
uniforms of wool shorts,
shirts and socks were
manufactured in Toronto.
The all too famous "stet-
son" was imported from
England.
Although other groups
started a year or two
before the famous "sixth"
Toronto group, it is the 6th
that has still maintained
ownership of being the
longest .active group in
Metro Toronto - they're 85
years old this year.
To celebrate the 85th an-
niversary of this very
famous and active group. a
committee has been form-
ed and invitations have
gone out all over the world
to track dowel alumni of
this
As of Aug.
3rd. so far the
committee has heard that
George Shank, an ex
member of the group is
coming all the way from
Vancouver, B.C.
Fred, Foster, a young
man in his 70's now, is still
very active with the group.
He attends meetings every
week and is quite active in
their annual weeklong
camp. Fred has been and
still is with the group for 55
years. From the oldest
Scouter to the newest
member we have Wolf Cub
Justin Edwards who in-
vested just a few weeks
ago.
There's all kinds of in-
teresting facts of who's
who and where are they
now? - associated with this
group that started out so
small and now controls a
vast storehouse of camping
equipment made available
to other Scout Groups and
the general public.
Celebratiuons begin on
Sat. Sept. 24, with a parade
beginning at 10:30 a.m at
Birchchff Heights Public
School. ending with a Reu-
nion Banquet at the Ellas

Watts' Restaurant Celebrates 40 Yrs.
In 1954 it wasn't unusual
for one to enjoy a quality
steak dinner with all the
trimmings for about $3.
Those were the prices at
Watts' and the food was
great. Who would have
known that this family
operated restaurant would
stretch well into the 90's?
Some 40 years later, the
Watts' family is
celebrating the
restaurant's 40th anniver-
sary and in doing so, they
intend to take the people of
Scarborough back to the
days of the great 40t ham-
burger. They're printing
the original menu with its
original prices and, the
prices will be so low you
won't even notice that they
have added $1 to every
guest cheque, to be donated
to the Salvation Army.
They'll have 50's corvet-
tes on display, 50's music
playing all day; Mayor
Joyce Trimmer, Chairman
for the Salvation Army Red
Shield Appeal, will arrive
at 12:30 to take the first of-
ficial bite. The Salvation
Army will be making a
special presentation to her,
and to top off a great two
day celebration there will
be hourly give -a -ways all
day long.
Watts' 40th Anniversary
will be a great Canadian
moment. Come and help
celebrate on Fri. Sept. 23 at
Watts' Family Restaurant,
located in Eglinton Square,
right on the southeast cor-
ner of Victoria Park and
Eglinton Ave.

RCMP Helps Students In Program
The RCMP carries on its
tradition of helping
students gain valuable
training and work ex-
perience through its Sum-
mer Student Program, as
announced recently by the
Minister for Human
Resources Development,
Lloyd Axworthy and the
Solicitor General of
Canada. Herb Gray.
The program offers
career -related employ-
ment for students in law
and other related
disciplines to gain a better
understanding of the role of
the police in the criminal
justice system. Approx-
imately 125 students, from
all the provinces and ter-
ritories, are learning first-
hand this summer how the
fields of forensic sciences,
computer sciences,
criminology, psychology
and public administration
are applied to police work.
.'Young people need the
kind of training that pro-
vides practical work ex-
perience to prepare them
for their careers and assist
them in obtaining perma-
nent employment,' ),Jr.
Axworthy said.
The program was started
in 1976 to help students, the
police and the cornmunities
in which they serve.
Students are assisting the
police in setting up various
community projects, such
as victims' services,
seniors programs and
youth education.
"The RCMP is to be com-
mernded for investing in.the
skills, and future
employability of students
who will gain valuable
knowledge and experience
in the fields they are about
to enter," Mr. Gray said.
Funding of $500.000 was
provided for in the
February 1994 federal
budget and is therefore
built into the existing fiscal
framework.

ON RECORD:
There is hope for today's

its second album hit the top
of the pop charts even
faster than its debut piece.
We speak of Boyz 11 Men
and their second album 11
(A. &M. Motown ( .
Here's a quartet whose
songs and presentations of
them will cheerfully be
emulated by SPEBSQSA,
gratefully received by
suburbanites and possibly
make it to AM Radio play
lists. Their harmony is
c1me; enunciation. alnnost
precise; phrasing, in-
teresting and intei preta-
tion, au courant.
The best cut is Water
Runs Dry with string ar-
rangements by Reggie
Hamilton that are almost
achingly beautiful and
evocative of latter day Eric
Carmen.
The piece de resistance is
the final cut in which the
quartet essays Lennon and
McCartney's Yesterday a
cappella. Despite evident
inexperienced breath con-
trol in introductory
phrases, the now hoary old
chestnut - its working title
was Scrambled Eggs - now
seems original and Boys n
Men ( ridiculously preten-
tious name) sound like The
Nylons.
That ain't bad and we got
it good for 11. (That's
Roman numeral for two,
not Arabic for eleven).
We're also frankly mad

migrated as per the liner

Village Theatre Season Opens With Laughs
by Frank Knight
English farce/comedy
comprises of mistaken
identities, near naked
Ladies and lots of rushing in
and out of dons or closets.
When performed with
pace, enunciation and
sense of timing and with a
good script it is comedy
theatre at its finest.
The Theatre Guild chose
David Freeman's "A Bed-
ful CN Foreigners" which
indudes all of the above as
their opening play of the
season. The play revolves
around a young English
couple on vacation in
France. They are lucky to
find a room in a seedy hotel
near the German border
which is fully booked due to
a local carnival.
Of course the room is
double booked and with the
arrival of another couple
plus this mans girlfriend ( a
stripper) plus an incompe-
tent hotel manager and a
handyman, the recipe is all
there for fun and frolics.
Wasps.
What does have meaning
is the music itself which,
we suggest, might best be
described as Afro-
Caribbean. The beat is
cheerfully and relentlessly
infectious; the vocals ditto
and the over all impact,
decidedly party time, as in
funky party.
The two best cuts are, of
course, Billy, Parts One
and Two; 10 minuites and
32 seconds of flat out fun.

Unfortunately, the night
I was there the Guild
couldn't quite pull it all
together due to some
uneven pacing and forgot-
ten lines. The main culprits
were Ken Wooley ( Heinz )
and Robert Liberty
(Karah ) with the latter los-
ing some clarity by over
acting the drunken role. In
the main role Mike Wood-
bridge (Stanley) knows
how comedy should be
played and it's a delight to
watch him on stage. He
comes over as a cross bet-
ween David Tomlinson and
a Ronnie Barker.
Another pleasure was
seeing Guild newcomer
Daryl Marks (Claude) on
stage. He is an actor who
also knows how to play
farce and it was a treat to
watch him act and re -act
with Woodbridge. They
were mainly the second act
and brought the play to its
'roaring' conclusion.
Not to forget the ladies,

good album for any occa-
sion but it'll really come in-

for a dreary winter.
IN PASSING
Today marks the official
end of summer but for
many, the CNE is the unof-
ficial harbinger of autumn.
Which brings us to a cute
conversation we overheard
while walking through one
of the buildings.

Massachusetts Fall Foliage
Leads To Colour & Culture
The free 72 page
Massachusetts Fall Events
and Fall Foliage Guide is
now available for Cana-
dians who are searching
for fun, interesting, and
unusual events happening
throughout the state.
Festivals, scenic drives,
haunted castles and the
spectacular colours of the
Massachusetts landscape
make the fall season the
perfect time to visit
Massachusetts.
"In the fall.
Massachusetts is resplen-
dent with golden and crim-
son colours, and it is the
ideal time to combine a
leisurely and scenic drive
with cultural activities,"
said Abbie R. Goodman,
Executive Director for the
Massachusetts Office of
Travel and Tourism
(MOTT).
Scenic Routes
The Mohawk Trail
(413-664-6256), located
along Route 2 from
Williamstown to Orange,
originated as an Indian
Trail. and later evolved in-
to America's first scenic
drive. The trail's boun-
daries meander through
quaint towns, forests and
covered bridges. The views
from the summit of Mt.
Greylock, Massachusetts
tallest mountain, are spec
tacular.
Interested in an old-
fashmned mode of gazing
at the blazing fall colours?
A ride on the Cape Cod
Railroad (50&771-3M) pro-
vides you with scenic views
of the Cape Cod canal as
you enjoy a five course din-
ner in the evening. Reser-
vations are required.
Off Tlie Beaten Track
Another scenic drive in -
dudes the secondary roads
along Routes 116 and 9 in
the Pioneer Valley, which
weave through beautiful
countryside and picture -
postcard towns of western
Massachusetts. The roads
to the Quabbin Reservoir
are free of traffic and are
rich with blazing fall col-
ours.
The Berkshires region, a
favourite spot for hikers
and Outdoor enthusiasts,
will amaze you with its
natural beauty. It's rivaled
only by the number of
cultural events taking
place in autumn. The most
popular road to view the
fall colours is along Route 8
from Sandisfield to Dalton.
Incredible Edibles
Just as the leaves turn
crimson colours, so do the
apples, cranberries and
blackberries, the fruits of
the fall season. Cranber-
ries can be tasted and
savoured at the 18th An-
nual Harwich Cranberry
Festival, Sept. 9-18
(508-430.2811), as well as

perience the revelry of
renaissance times at King
Richard's Faire. The
jousting takes place Sept. 3
through Oct. 23, Route 58 in

One day in October 1845,
eight-year old Eliza Susan-
na Warren tied off a final
thread, stood up from her
chair and held up a piece of
embroidery for her mother
to inspect. That day, Eliza
completed her new

She had worked hard. Us-

had embroidered two en-
tire alphabets - one in up-
per case letters and the
other in lower case,
numbers one to eleven, a
couple of cherubs and this
religious verse:
Search Lord oh search
my inmost heart
And light and hope and boy
impart
From guilt and error set
me free
And guide me safe to
Heaven and thee
Today. nearly 150 years
later, visitors to Black
Creek Pioneer Village can
still see where Eliza made
a few small spelling
mistakes. She stitched
"Octoder" instead of "Oc-
tober" and made her ' •J"
backwards. Eliza's
sampler, decorated with a
two-storey house, fence
and trees, is part of Black
Creek's unique collection of
samplers spanning over 200
years.
For centuries, girls and
young women carefully
embroidered alphabets and
inspirational phrases, like
the one Eliza stitched, onto
linen, cotton and canvas.
Known as samplers, they
were literally "samples" of
different stitches and were
educational exercises
worked at home or at
school as part of a girl's
formal education. The
verses embroidered on
samplers speak volumes
about the values of the day.
In 1829, 13 -year old Mary
Leuce Miller used black.
blue and mauve wool to
write this passage:
-Ms education forms the
tender mind
Just as the twig is bent the
tree's inclined."
Black Creek's samplers
are among its oldest ar-
tifacts, some dating back to
1773 while others are as re-
cent as the 1940s. and
several of the older
samplers were stitched by
girls as young as eight.
Generally, a sampler in-
cluded the name and.age of
the artist and date the
sampler was completed,
making it a fascinating
historic record. Memorial
samplers, however, includ-
ed only the name and date
of the departed, not the ar-
tist.
At Black Creek, a conser-
vation program to preserve
these unique artifacts is
underway. To date five of
the samplers have been
restored. Now washed,
repaired, restretched and
mounted over acid -free
foam backing, these
samplers will continue to
capture a moment in the
lives of young people long
ago. At the Gift Shop,
copes of several of the
restored samplers are
available as sampler kits
for those who want to ex-
perience this old-fashioned
educational tool and art
form for themselves.
Come to Black Creek and
see Eliza's colourful
sampler and others
displayed throughout the
Village as they might have
been in settlers' homes in
early Ontario. Black Creek
is located at Jane St.. and
Steeles Ave., in north-west
Toronto, 10 minutes north
of Hwy. 401. Free parking.

had had a "silent" heart at-
tack and now a partially
Mocked artery. We did not
even know there was such a
thing, but it showed up.
Unnerved by this
discovery, she came upon
an advertisement by the
Heart and Stroke Founda-
tion, announcinga group
,
session called Heart to
Heart" for the benefit of
persons with a heart condi-
tion. Explaining that she
felt the need for such sup-
port. she decided to take
the eight-week course, ask-
ing me if 1 wished to go
with her. The answer was
no, bossed on the obvious; I
cid not have a heart e "-
tion: that while it might
well benefit her, of what
possible use could it be to
me?
Later, upon learning that
all the other people were
going in couples, I rehrc-
ta.Aly agreed to accom-
pany her. Some time later,
an the process of the carie,
we discovered that this was
the first time "Heart to
Heart" had been offered by
the Scarborough Chapter of
the Heart and Stroke Foun-
dation.
As it turned out, this
became as much a learning
experience for me as it was
for her. Arriving at the ses-
sion, we met our
..facilitators", which only
turned me off - another
..buzz., word which seemed
to be everywhere these
days. Why not simply a
"Chair" or "Group
Leader"? Facilitator?
What gives? And so, with
my negative attitute reign-
ing supreme, the sessions
started.
For the first two ses-
sions, the attitude remain-
ed, though softening
somewhat as each person
was encouraged to tell of
their experiences, how they
had felt, how they felt now
and to ask questions about
things which concerned
them. I began to realize
that even while not directly
affected, I was very much
in a learning process and
discovering various things
of which I had never heard;
how family members felt,
what problems had been
encountered.
When differences of opi-
nion arose in a particular
area, the "Heart to Heart.,
facilitators, in our case
Dianne Mathieu and her
colleague, Yvette Johnson,
would suggest different ap-
proaches, guide us when
we were wrong, reinforce
tis when we were right and
correct misconceptions. It
slowly dawned on me that
we were all learning from
each other, sharing and
relieving the pressure of
the unknown.
Adding to each session
were a series of video-
tapes, giving us both
medical opinion. advice
and the very real,
sometimes enation -ruled
commentary from heart at-
tack victims and their
families. Mother set of
similar tapes were
available for us to take
bome to view and think
about and we could ask
questions at the next ses-
sion.
The more we attended,
the more enthusiastic even
I became. Indeed, we both
looked forward to atten-
ding the next session; see-
ing our group, who were
quickly developing in-
terpersonal friendships.
And so it went, week after
week. Then the unexpected
happened. The last
meeting was coming up -
and we discovered that no
one wanted to end the ses-
sions. W Inle they could not
continue officially under
the auspices of the Heart
and Stroke Foundation, one
of our group asked if it
would be possible to have
the last meeting in her
home. It was and we did.
Even more reiaxung an
atmosphere, again, it was
suggested that we ,next
once very two weeks at a
local coffee shop. We did.
Next, another home was
suggested. And so it went.
We keep in touch with each
other by phone in between;
some social activities have
been formed, but we have a
network to use if and when
anything goes wrong.
Luckily, nothing has. But
considering the negative
feeling going into these ses-
sions, it is amazing just
what a 360 degree turn was
made.
So, for you partners out
there who may be dealing
with the aftermath of heart
attack, heart surgery or
angina, do join in.You are
not alone. Both of you now
face a different situation
than you did before the
heart attack/heart condi-
tion. It is not just one per-
son; you are both affected
and the more you attend,
listen and learn, the better
prepared you are for the
future together.
We also need more
facilitators for our ses-
sions. If you like working
with people and have skills
in group process or a health
care background, and can
give one night a week for
an eight week period, call
