Sunday Traffic At Flea Market Durham Regional Police is to be asked to look into the parking and traffic problems being experienced each Sunday at the Flea Market on Highway d2 opposite the Call IV 2844For Fast Home Sen ice Morningside Shopping Centre) West Hill A Stop Order was last week issued by Pickering on the demolition of a three bedroomed single detached home in the East Rouge area. It is estimated that on today's market this fully serviced electrically heated house could sell for about $65,000. This week, in Executive Committee. Pickering Council passed a resolution requesting the MTRCA to desist from any further 'demolition, in par- ticular with respect to homes in the EastRouge area, until the final Waterfront Plan has been approved by both the MTRCA and the Town of Pickering. The MTRCA currently owns a 180 acre parcel of land just east of the threatened 8 acre community, and it has been their policy toaequirehouses as they become available. It has not, so far, been policy to expropriate land for con- servation and recreation. Less than two years ago the MTRCA acquired 8 homes scattered throughout the 8 acres, and some of these homes are less than 10 years old. Although the original policy had stated that as homes were acquired they should be demolished, the newer homes were rented on a month to month basis. Possibly as a result of bad experiences with renting homes on the Toronto Island. the MTRCA has apparently now decided to abide by its original intention of demolition on vacancy. And, to speed matters along (in the opinion of many of the residents) the MTRCA recently raised the rents on these homes so that tenants could no longer afford to remain in them. As a result, one house was torn down and it was planned to demolish the second last week. Incensed residents, however, put a 24 hour guard around the second home due for demolition, and were able to secure the Stop Order from Pickering. Representatives of the Residents' Group are to meet with the Executive Committee of the MTRCA this week to discuss the matter further. At present, there are 18 privately owned homes left in the area and also a Con- valescent Nursing Home which caters to 140 sick and elderly people. Including the Nursing Home, if all of these homes were available the cost of acquisition is estimated at more than $3 million. Councillor Don Kitchen pointed out at the meeting of the Executive Committee of Pickering Council that "the reason for the original en- dorsement of the 'demolition on vacancy' policy was the fact that those houses not being torn down were becoming an eyesore." However. Councillor Ken Matheson said that "the intent of that motion was for 'cottage lots' and not for houses less than 10 years old"' Together with the resolution from Pickering Cantil Mr. Dave Rivett. who will be making the presentation to the MTRCA Executive Committee, will be armed with a copy of a letter from William Newman, Minister of the Environment addressed to K. G. Higgs. Director of Operations of the MTRCA. In the letter Mr. Newman says "I understand that the Executive Committee is meeting on September 11th and that one of the subjects for discussion will be the demolition of houses in the Rosebank area. It does not seem right to tear down almost new houses when there is a critical shortage of housing. I would appreciate it if the Executive would consider postponing destruction as long as possible.- North ossible.- North Pickering Project Plans Open House A Planning Open House has been scheduled for Pickering area residents to view and comment on initial planning concepts of the New Com- munity at North Pickering. The t)pen House will be held Thursday and Friday. September 19 and 20 in the reception area of the Pickering Fire Station. This matter was raised at Pickering Council's Executive Committee Meeting. It was agreed that the traffic situation created by the Flea Market is hazardous, and that something should be done to alleviate the congestion before a serious accident occurs.

TELEPHONE 284-1767 Opinion Unemployment Statistics Canada just released figures which are supposed to tel l us that unemployment rose last month in Canada. Well, we would like to suggest that their sources of in- formation must be faulty. Right now in Metro Toronto companies are screaming for labour which can't be found. One bank with ten tellers has only three experienced ( over a year of service) while seven are new and inefficient. The bank finds it difficult to attract new employees. We would suggest that our Unemployment Insurance Commission has thousands of people on its lists. drawing U.I.C. payments who won't work and should be kicked off the rolls. ,After the last fiasco when 29.000 people didn't even bother to pick up their cheques you'd expect smarter U.I.C. civil servants. But they are still encouraging people to apply for U.I.C. benefits. You see. that keeps their jobs going. tooII And this is all part of the Hon. Robert Andras' empire - a department not connected to reality and spending our taxes as if it were in a hurry to carne us all into financial chaos. Tale Economy Housing in Canada is grinding to a slow pace these days and nowhere is it grinding down faster than around Metro Toronto where the need is greatest. Why is it slowing down' Because interest rates are too high. Because the provincial land speculation tax has killed in- centive. Because the price of housing is too great for those who need housing the most. Aurone who watches the economy knows that a busy con- struction industry means a healthy country financially speaking, and a building industry which stops means we have a sick economy. We need 8% mortgages for all home building and we need encouragement for entrepreneurs to develop new housing sites. Municipal Enumeration In Progress Provincial enumerators will visit all households in Ontarib during September to conduct the annual municipal enumeration, Ontario Revenue Minister Arthur Meen said this week. "Annual municipal enumeration is quite dif- ferent from the enumerations conducted in preparation for federal and provincial elections," Mr. Meen explained. "Special Voters' lists are required since eligibility to vote is different at the municipal level." The right to vote in federal and provincial elections is based upon citizenship, age and residency. The right to vote in a municipal election is more extensive since it allows a non-resident who is at least 18 years old and a Canadian citizen or British subject to vote, if that person owns or rents property in the municipality. The spouse of such a non-resident is also entitled to vote in that municipality. "However," Mr. Meen pointed out, "We require more data than voter Rooming Houses Exempted "This morning Cabinet endorsed in principle a submission made last week by the Ministry of Revenue to exempt from land speculation tax owner - occupied rooming houses," Arthur Meen, Minister of Revenue, announced this week. He explained that the submission made by the Ministry arose out of his concern that some home owners who normally rent spare rooms to students and other roomers might be withholding such ac- commodation from the market because of their fear of attracting speculation tax on the sale of the property. Mr. Meen pointed out that under the act as it now stands, an owner who rents a portion of his "principal residence" may incur speculation tax on the part he rents, if the house were sold. In a dear cut example where the owner of a triplex lives in one unit and rents the other two units, two-thirds of the profit from the sale of the property would be subject to speculation tax. Over time, the tax on rental ac- commodation is reduced and is removed entirely in ten years. The Minister pointed out that he did not want this WEST ROUGE HOCKEY ASSOCIATION Registrations for both the West Rouge Hockey Association and also for the Pickering House league will be taken tonight from 7 to9 p.m. and also on this coming Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon, all at Don Beer Arena, and this is positiveh• the final chance for you to register your sons for this season's teams so do make an effort.

Hours Of Work Study Released By Labour Canada The standard work week for non -office employees in Canadian manufacturing industries has shown almost no change since :he 1950's. That is one of the findings of a study released by the Department of Labour under the title "Trends in Working Time". . The report states that while the hours of work declined rapidly in the years immediately following the Second World War. the 4o -hour week has been the norm for a number of years. Although there has been widespread speculation about a decline in the "work ethic" and predictions of a coming "Age of Leisure", two explanations are offered for the persistence of the present standard hours. First. employees place a high priority on income. When a reduction in hours is made possible by productivity in- creases, the employees seem to prefer most of the benefit in the form of more pay rather than shorter hours. Second, employees are enjoying more paid absence from work in forms other than a reduction of weekly hours. In recent labour settlements. over 90 percent included some revision in the employee's time spent at work. Most of the emphasis was on increased vacation benefits, more paid holidays, and paid time off for various personal reasons. The report goes on to state that although the standard work week has not changed significantly for twenty years, this is no reason to think the same patternwill continue indefinitely. Noticeable reductions in standard hours of work appear to occur at infrequent intervals at which times the reduction occurs in a matter of a few years. The recent interest in the compressed work week and flexible working hours will, in the long run, reinforce the downward trend in the hours of work. Initially these experiments just involve new schedules for the same total numbers of hours. The report notes that "moonlighting" or multiple jobholding may increase slightly if normal working hours are reduced, but this is not expected to be a majordevelopment. Similarly, it is not expected that the amount of overtime work would be greatly affected by a reduction in normal hours. Both moonlighting and overtime are strongly in- fluenced by other factors, such as the availability of a suitable type of work and the employee's need for extra in- come.

Brunelle said that representation had been made by several organizations to the Government recommending that a provincial lottery be established in Ontario, similar to those conducted by several other provinces, as well as adjacent states. "The western provinces, for example." he said, "have just started a Western Canada Lottery, which appears to be going well and is not affecting the Olympic Lottery sales. The Cabinet expects to have a decision on this matter in a short time" Brunelle stated. He indicated that the funds from the second lottery, which results from 5% of the gross sale of lottery tickets sold in Ontario, would be used to increase the grants to provincial sports governing bodies and to regional sport progra ms. "We are committed by the Order in Council to use the funds to assist in the development of amateur sport in Ontario and, through this distribution, we will be able to encourage more of our citizens to play for fun and enjoyment and also give; increased attention to those who wish to excel and to make Ontario's provincial team and perhaps even Canada's national team. "We are also prepared to use these funds to assist in the construction of facilities eligibility. The enumerators must record the names, ages, property status ( either owner or tenant) public or separate school support and residency of all members of each household." This information is required for five purposes: - The preparation of voters' lists for local elections to be held December 2; The division of the education portion of property taxes between the public and separate school boards; - The distribution of provincial grants to local governments to help reduce local tax bills; -The preparation of jurors' lists; - The determination of local population statistics to assist in municipal and provincial planning. "Consequently, we cannot use the information collected prior to the recent federal election or any other elec- tion," Mr. Meen observed. "With most of Ontario holding municipal elections on Mon. Dec. 2nd, we hope this will create greater in- terest and voter turnout in elections for councils, school boards and public utility commissions." Council members and trustees will hold office for a two-year term. About 11,000 enumerators have been trained to conduct this year's program. These enumerators carry Ministry of Revenue Identification cards and large blue binders containing enumeration forms. Mr. Meen noted that the enumeration takes no more than a few minutes of the local resident's time and should be conducted at the door. "It is not necessary to admit the enumerator to your home." he added. The enumerators will have a preprinted notice of everyone currently an record in the household. "If the resident agrees that the information is correct and complete, he signs the enumerator's record and keeps a copy of the notice," Mr. Meen said. "If changes are required as, for example, an addition to the family or new oc- cupancy, a charige in school support or the attainment of voting age, then the enumeration notice is corrected on the spot. The responding adult verifies the changes and a revised notice will be mailed to the household by the assessment office. If there is no one at home when the enumerator calls, the notice will be left with instructions for checking and revising it. Non-resident owners or tenants will receive their enumeration notices and relevant in- structions in the mail. Mr. Meen said that 2.4 million pamphlets have been sent to householders to alert residents to the September enumeration. of international standard. Through our Community Centres Act, the Govern- ment does support the capital costs of recreational facilities. and through the use of some of these funds we may be able to assist to a greater extent in the in- creased costs of constructing international facilities, thus allowing our athletes to train and compete in facilities of the highest quality" the Minister concluded.

Your local garden center has the 2, 4-D and 2,4-D plus Mecroprop mixtures you need to control broad-leaved weeds. Follow the package instructions exactly. One treatment of the whole lawn should kill most of the dandelions and plantain. Creeping Charlie, round leaf mallow and yarrow may need one or two more ap- plications, and should be spot -treated where they persist. Late Lawn Care Important "If your lawn shows no sign of weeds or crabgrass, feed with 'CIL Golfgreen' at 10 lb./1000 sq. ft. around mid- August," Mr. Bradshaw advises in the guide. "If you have weeds, but no crabgrass, feed with 'CIL Weed & Feed' at 8 lb./1000 sq. ft. "If you did not use a crabgrass preventer in the spring, and crabgrass plants are evident, you can stop next year's crabgrass by applying 'CIL Lawn Doctor' at 20 Ib./1000 sq. ft. 'Lawn Doctor' will also get rid of poa annua and broadleaved weeds and soil insects that may be present. Just apply 'Lawn Doctor' on a sunny morning. Apply at 20 lb./loco sq. ft., and wait three full days before watering or mowing the lawn. Then water generously.

Dear Mother: Two months have passed since I first set foot in this strange land. We are garrisoned at Fort Henry in Kingston, on Lake Ontario. The heat of the summer months is unbearable here, and the insects fierce. The babies are swollen with bites and cranky. How I miss you and my dear father and sisters and our cosy. home! I should have known, when I married Thomas, that the Tourism means jobs. This is what Ontario is doing to keep the tourists coming. Tourism is good for Ontario. Tourists take nothing away except happy memories, but they leave plenty of money behind them. That's why your Ontario government seeks to attract visitors to our province, and asks for your help in making them fee! welcome Already. tourism Is Ontario's 3rd largest industry It provides lobs for over 154,000 people. quite possibly including you and your neighbours. What s more, by 1978 Ontario expects to play host to enough visitors to create 85,000 additional lobs A worthwhile goal. certainly But how can all this be accomplished? Here are some of the things that your Ontario government is doing: Were making loans for the development of tourist facilities —through the Ontario Business Incentives Program, Ontario Development Corporation, Eastern Ontario Development Corporation, and Northern Ontario Develop- ment Corporation Ontario now has Tourism specialists in London (Eng ). Los Angeles. Frankfurt, and Tokyc We are working with airlines railroads and bus companies to promote the pleasures of Ontario We are striving to bring conventions to smaller as well as larger communities, and to resort areas, especially during off seasons We are supporting your local Travel Associ- ations, with ample money to promote local tourism. We are promoting the attractions of our Province by advertising throughout Ontario and nearby U.S. states. You can help us welcome visitors by greeting them in a friendly manner, and showing them genuine hospitality. Encourage visitors to come back and to bring their friends If we all do our share, we can increase the number of tourists who come here. and that's not only good for the tourists—it's good for Canada, good for Ontario, and good for you.

We women suffer many hardships, it is true, but at least we are fortunate enough to be with our husbands. As you know, only six men out of every hundred are permitted to bring their wives with them to foreign stations. Those wives and children left behind, poor souls, must fend for themselves. Our quarters, mother, are far from luxurious. Four families occupy one soldiers' barrack room, so that we each have a corner to call our own. Our only privacy comes in the evening, when we are permitted to string up curtains made of blankets. Even this arrangement is an improvement over con- ditions not long ago, when married soldiers and their families lived in the barrack rooms with the single men. One of the old soldiers' wives with whom we share quarters told me this. Besides the beds. the only other furnishings in our room are two deal tables and four benches. These are used by the men for polishing and clearing their kit, as well as for eating, working and writing. The children are always underfoot. scram- bling on the floor playing with toys some kindly soldiers have made for them. 1 am lucky to be young and strong for the days are long and strenuous.

Fleming, horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The roots of foundation evergreens, pine, spruce, cedar, juniper, yew, and other needle evergreens will be able to supply sufficient moisture to the trees during the winter if the soil around the bases is moistened to a good depth just before the ground hardens. Other trees and shrubs should be given less frequent waterings. Their need for moisture is usually met by fall rains, and overwatering encourages late soft growth that can be injured or killed by early winter weather. Thomas and the children over the stove in the women's cookhouse. All four families sit and eat together in the barracks, at the long tables. Husbands are per- mitted to draw rations for their families, so I receive one half the amount Thomas does, and the babies one quarter. Our meals are always the same, meat, soup and bread, but sometimes Thomas can save enough from his pay to buy vegetables and milk for the children. While Thomas is drilling all day. I am kept busy cleaning our corner of the room, scrubbing out the berths, sweeping the floor, colle- ting our ration of food and fuel, cooking our meals and carrying out the slops. I must also take my turn tending the cookstove and cleaning the women's latrines. In order that we do not sit idle, we women are paid to do laundry and mending. not only for our own husbands, but for the unmarried men. I often sit down to these chores in the afternoon, and teach the children their alphabet The eldest will soon be able to attend the garrison school here at the fort. It is a hard life, mother, but I am grateful to have food and clothing and a roof over my head and the company of my dear husband and chi Idren.

PARKS TOUR The Recreation and Transportation Dept. are organizing a free Parks Tour for local residents. It will take place on Assistance For Married College Students Richard Snowden, Durham College's Student Affairs Officer, says there is in- creased governmental assistance for married College students under the Ontario Student Assistance Program. Recent changes in the methods of assessing financial needs of married students allow more generous awards. There is no academic requirement other than meeting the College's admission stan- dards. Normally the first $800 of assistance is loan and the balance is in grant funds. The loans provided by the Federal Government are interest free while the student is in school and for six months after graduation. Grant funds provided by the Provincial Government are ron-repayable. The new awards formula places grater emphasis on allowances for married students.

Gavin Ox f Rosebank Area Surrounded BY Conservation Lands The Rosebank area of Pickering is located between the Petticoat Creek and Lower Rouge Conservation Areas, which are administered by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The Authority seeks to in- Iregrate the above areas by acquiring privately -owned property in Rosebank, and has, in addition to vacant parcels of land, accumulated fourteen properties with houses; of these, seven have been demolished in the last two years, and it is planned that the remaining should be cleared by June, 1975. Until two weeks ago, the demolished houses were primarily converted cottages of little commercial value. However, the razing of the house at 515 Rodd Ave. drew sharp protest from the 18 home- owning families in the neighbourhood, for this house was only seven years old, well-built, in good repair, and with an estimated value of about $70,000. Furthermore demolition was begun as least an hour and a half before a demolition permit was secured from the town office. The Petticoat Greek Conservation Area, consisting of 183 acres, is currently under development as a park and will not even be open to the public until next summer. As can be seen in the accompanying pian, a sufficient amount of Rosebank property is still in private hands to make development of parkland on any systematic basis extremely difficult if not downright impractical. The local residents feel that demolition of more houses on Conservation -owned property is therefore not only an appalling waste but not in the public interest at all, with the housing situation as poor as it is. In any case, the threatened houses are all of modern Con- struction, electrically heated, and kept in a good state of repair by their tenants, who rent from the Authority. One of the houses even has a swimming pool, and along with the rest of them could perform useful service for a number of years yet. At the time of writing, the local residents have delayed destruction of the building at 531 Rodd Ave., which once again was attempted without a demolition permit. It is hoped that enough public attention will be focussed on the situation so that it may be reversed and seven perfectly good houses may serve" homes for as long as they are needed.

Caution Home Canners About The Ministry of Health cautioned residents this week that improper preparation of home preserves can result i botulism, a form of f poisoning. Botulism poisoning leads to paralysis of limbs, respiratory failure and death in 55 per cent recorded cases. The botulism microbe, commonly present in soil, is counteracted by acid. Therefore, home canned fruits and tomatoes of the standard variety do no normally become con- taminated. All , other vegetables, including th golden yellow low acid tomato, must be home processed in the container a temperatures considerably higher than the boiling point of water to destroy t botul ism microbe. For safe preservation o Poisoning vegetables a pressure cooker should always, be used. Different vegetables require different pressures n and cooking times to attain food the specific temperature needed to kill the botulism microbe. Reliable cook books and pressure cooker of manuals will provide correct processing times and pressures. As an added safeguard, all home vegetable preserves should be boiled in their liquid for at least 15 minutes t before tasting or serving (20 minutes for corn or squash).
