Ontario's
safari surprise
ROCKTON, Ont. Even
though there's no jungle, the
movie "Burn Free" could
easily have been filmed
right here in "deepest,
darkest Ontario."
The setting is the great
African Lion Safari, a 500-
acre, drive-through wildlife
park 20 miles northwest of
the steel city of Hamilton.
Here the big eats roam at
will without having to stalk
a zebra or anything else for
their dinner.
But the zebras are here
and so are the lightning -
swift elands, along with
tigers and cheetahs, giraffes,
rare white rhinos, elephants,
and dozens of other crea-

kingdom including, of
course, troops of frolicking
baboons.

Susan Slack
Has Her Own
Company
This month's Business
and Professional Women's
Club Profile highlights
Susan Slack, a member of
the Public Relations
Committee and responsible
for distribution of the
Club's NETWORK.
Susan is a graduate of
Albert College, Belleville
and secretary of their
national Alumni
Association.
She resides in Lookout
Point in Pickering and is
General Manager of the W.
Slack Agency, Occidental
Life and President of her
own company, Word
Processing Services.
All this began a year ago
when Susan stopped
commuting to a large firm
,n Toronto where she had
,.corked for eleven years
nd. most recently, was Co-
ordinator of Secretarial
Services.
She wanted to get to know
the area in which she lived
and spend more time with
her family so decided to
make the switch.
Susan says she ruds her
work in Pickering has
much less pressure and she
likes her work atmosphere
now as opposed to working
for a large company with a
heavily structured work
environment. She enjoys
getting to know the local
people and the general
friendliness of a smaller
town.
Having trained other
people for executive
Honours
At recent piano
examinations held at
the Royal Conser-
vatory of Music,
University of Toronto,
two students of Helen

duced North American wild-
life species such as bison,
deer, elk and black bear - all
sharing the same uneaged
freedom as the big cats.
If you're a true lover of
nature, then this is your
goal. Unlike most zoos, here
you are surrounded with
animals roaming in their
own designated reserves.
And, since the monkeys
seem to be the most gregar-
ious of the animals here,
they appear to have the run
of the park. First, you'll see
just one or two, but soon an
army of them appears, and
some may wind up perched
on the roof of your car.
If you stick rigidly to an
earlier briefing and reminder
signs not to feed the animals
and keep car windows closed
at all times, a visit to African
Lion Safari is the next best
thing to a trip to East Africa
for getting a close look at
big game.
While many visitors elect
to ride in their own cars,
most prefer an -
ed bus whose driver knows
the origin, characteristics,
along with the care and feed-
ing of every animal in sight.
The park also operates a
London -style, double-decker
bus in which you might find
an 18 -foot tall giraffe press-
ing his inquisitive nose at
your window.
Among the rarer animals
you'll spot on the trail are
such new acquisitions as the
Tibetan yak, Japanese sitka
deer, Bactrian camel and In-
dian black buck antelope.
Since it opened in 1969,
close to five million visitors
from across Canada, the U.S.
and abroad have come to
enjoy the park's thousand
or more animals and birds.
The Birds of Prey Centre,
a new attraction with a wide
variety of eagles, falcons,
hawks and vultures, holds
three shows daily. The star
is a bullet -headed peregrine
falcon, which zaps its "quar-
ry" in 175 mph dives. Any-
one who isn't sharply atten-
tive might miss the whole
act.
The Safari park, just off
Hwy. 8 between Hamilton
and Kitchener, is open daily
from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
during July and August,
with shorter hours for the
rest of the year.
Even on the coldest days
of winter, it's possible to
watch lions, tigers and other
warm-blooded animals cool-
ing off in the snow.
The park offers camp-
grounds with complete facil-
ities for campers with tents,
tent trailers or motor homes.
There's also a licensed out-
door "Safari Oasis" for food
and drink.
Admission to the African
Lion Safari is S4 for adults,
S2 for children (ages 3-12
inclusive) and $3 for youths
(13-17) and senior citizens.
positions to her former job,
Susan had excellent
qualifications to train
agents in administrative
details and begin her own
company, as well. The
Word Processing Services
enables clients to have
their data stored on
magnetic equipment and
typing completed quickly.
Susan enjoys interior
decorating, reading and
camping as her hobbies.
The Business and
Professional Women's Club
allows her to meet people
from Ajax. Whitby,
Oshawa and her own town,
Pickering. She hasn't
missed a meeting since we
began and often brings a
guest.
Susan is interested in the
careers of other club
members and hopes to gain
insight into other
professions besides her
own. Susan's vitality and
enthusiasm are en-
couraging to the growing
club.

The August Luncheon
Meeting of the Business
and Professional Women
will be held on Thur. Aug.
21 at the Ranch Steak
House on Commercial
Avenue in Ajax. Please call
Julie Trebileock's office at
683-7177 if you are unable to
attend OR if you are
bringing a guest.
Guest speakers will be
librarians, Thea
Driesschen and Joanne
Tate, who will be
presenting a program on
the use of films for
education. They will be
.howing the film "A Token

G uest speakers for the
.July 18, Ajax -Pickering
Business and Professional
Women's Club were in-
house members Julie
Trebilcock and Beverley
Dowling.
Julie gave an outline from
the vendor's point of view
regarding the sale of a
property.
She outlined the means of
evaluating a property.
Usually this is done by
"market data" which
outlines the market value
of a property given a
reasonable time to sell.
If, however, one owns a
unique property then a
"cost" or replacement
value is worked out. With
the aid of charts she had
compiled, Julie explained
the "debits or penalities"
including legal and real
estate fees which would be
subtracted from the offer
leaving the actual cash in
hand to the vendor. Julie
also explained the break-
down of the real estate fee
between the Listing and
Selling brokers and agents.
Beverley explained the
legal intricacies of an
agreement for sale or
contract. She outlined the
difference between an open
listing, exclusive listing
and a multiple service
listing and advised of the
importance of reading the
whole contract including
the fine print before
signing.

Hospitality
by Bob Watson
The Scarborough -Indianapolis Peace Games are over and
Hoosier hospitality was even greater this year than any
previous time.
The 1000 Scarborough athletes, coaches and directors
headed off to Indianapolis on Aug. 8th. and by nightfall were
being entertained by their counterparts in the U.S. as
friends.
In the opening ceremonies, Indianapolis mayor Richard
Hudnut III asked for and got a tremendous ovation from the
Indy folks in a "Thank You Canada" display, designed to
thank us for the safe passage of six Americans from Iran by
the Canadian ambasador.
Scarborough dignitaries who went to Indianapolis were
given the "red rug" treatment by members of the
American mayor's staff - and even yours truly in the media
felt its warmth.
The annual event, now having completed eight years,
proves that two countries' people can become fast friends,
can work and play together and participate in a joint effort
to mutual benefit. Of course, it would be nice if Indy
wouldn't clobber Scarborough quite so decisively in the
games: - but that is the whole key to this interchange - no
one came back to Scarborough in other than a happy frame
of mind. The friendly, rivalry is left on the field while the
lasting friendships go on regardless of who wins.
The thousands of hours of effort by people in both cities has
proven once again that this joint city effort is really wor-
thwhile.
Too Bad
The vote of Metro Toronto police against accepting $27,000
a year salary 43000 up) is not going to assist our men in
blue with their public image.
It is very unfortunate that on television news and inthe
press, it appears as if all policemen in Metro Toronto are
greedy and hard-nosed- Our observation is that such is not
the case. Our policemen may be tough but, generally
speaking, they are solid citizens who realize that taxpayers
are hard pressed.
The concept that an officer in Metro Toronto should be
paid at least equal to the same job in Montreal is ridiculous
in concept. Would any of our cops like to work on the
Montreal force with its much greater crime rate, its need
for two languages? We would suggest that compared to
Montreal. Toronto is a much better work place for a
policeman.
The argument by police association representatives that if
a person is good as his or her job, therefore be or she should
always get the top salary, falls flat in real life. A surgeon in
the Vancouver hospital might be getting quite a bit more
than a surgeon in Toronto with more skill, but we doubt if
either would scent out where they stand with each other.
In the same way, we don't know what newspaper people in
Montreal earn in salaries - and it would never crass our
minds to find out, mainly because we wouldn't want to live
there and would rather enjoy the Metro Toronto area.
Perhaps a police officer in New York city gets more
money, a veterinarian in Columbus, Ohio gels Was than his
counterpart here. Who cares?
Most citizens in Metro Toronto are a little surprised that a
first class constable in our police force gets $27,000 a year
offered to him. At $24,500 people seemed to accept it - but
this new amount has most people to whom we've talked
expressing their opinion that this is too much, relative to
other salaries.
We would suggest that the police association accept the
$27,000 fast and not worry about the extra $100 to bring them
up to the boys in blue in Montreal. The public is not behind
them on this one.

Today's Garbage
"Today's garbage will soon be tomorrow's energy'
Energy Minister - Robert Welch predicted in releasing a
status report on the Province's Energy from Municipal
Waste Projects.
As a result of the Government's policy to increase On-
tario's capacity for energy self-sufficiency, some 14
projects are currently being assessed to determine their
potential to turn municipal garbage into steam or elec-
tricity. If these projects go ahead, they would convert 2.2 -
million tans of municipal solid waste into valuable energy

Concerned About Aircraft Plant
At a time when ail Governments in Metro are concerned
with economic difficulties, rising costa, unemployment and
lack of job opportunities, my interest is drawn to an issue
that is currently before the Federal Cabinet which might
threaten one of the largest industries in Metro and in the
process, some 3000 jobs.
The DeHaviland Aircraft located in the City of North York
and a leader in the aircraft industry with over half a cen-
tury of experience would by all logic be expected to produce
the neve Dash 8 Aircraft. However, for unexplained reasons
the Federal authorities appear to be looting elsewhere to
much larger one, which looms very large in the economic
future of all of Metro. It is altogether likely that many of the
3,000 workers at De Haviland are residents of Scarborough
but that issue aside, it seems to me that we must ensure that
this largest employer in the aircraft industry, not only
remains in Metro but be permitted to expand to qualify for
other new contracts.
The economic stability of Metro is already threatened by
Plant closings, the decline in the auto industry and
resultant unemployment. We need the jobs and we need
DeHaviland to grow along with Metro.
establish a plant and assemble the necessary skills to
produce and assemble the aircraft. Yours truly,
While it might be argued this concern should be the private
concern of the City of North Yat, my associate an Metro Gus Harris,
Council. Mel Iastman, has convinced me the issue is a MAYOR of Scarborough
Future Of The Games
Now that the 1900 Moscow Olympics have finished it
becomes apparent that the greatest problem facing the
International Olympic Committee is the preservation of the
future of the Games and m more obvious answer to that
problem than the establishment of a permanent site for the
Games.
If the Olympic Games are a symbol of mankind to achieve
and improve, it appears they are succeeding in an area
which has the potential to destroy them and that is in the
area of costs. In the Olympic motto of "Citius, Actius,
Fortius" should be added "Pretiosus", for indeed while the
athletes go faster, higher and stronger, the spectacle itself
gets costlier with each succeeding Games. While this is
partly the fault of inflation, it is also the result of each host
country having to meet deadlines of construction for a new
set of facilities and living quarters every four years. This
also has the result of fewer and fewer countries, other than
the super powers, being able to undertake this com-
mitment.
The answer, while not new, is that the Olympics must be
established at a permanent international site to survive.
The capital and operating costs could be financed in-
ternationally by all countries on a contributing formula
basis. This would also serve to remove the Games from use
as a display for the nationalism of the hosting country,
which is a further destructive force of the Olympic ideals.
The obvious choice for the site is Greece, the originating
country of the ancient games, and a country most suited by
annually — the equivalent of 2.5 -million barrels of oil each
year.
"This represents 40 percent of the municipal solid waste
now produced in Ontario. Obviously, these projects will
play a significant role not only in helping us to solve the
problem of what to do with the growing mounds of
municipal garbage throughout this Province, but also in
helping us to reach our goal of producing 35 percent of
Ontario's energy by 1995", the Minister said.
Since not all waste can be converted into energy
economically, the Government is assessing the various
projects on the following basis:
1. a secure supply of inexpensive waste must be available;
2. a dependable market for the energy must exist; and
3. the conversion technology must be proven.
The total estimated cost of the projects now under con-
sideration is approximately $433 -million.
history and climate for this role.
The International Olympic Committee must be urged to
take this step not only to preserve the Olympic ideals of
international friendship, understanding and goodwill, but
for the very survival of the Games themselves.
Yours sincerely,
Frank J. Faubert,
Controller.

The salad season should
not be seasonal. Salads can
"star" year round. Sum-
mertime does bring an
abundance of fresh fruits and
vegetables and deserves
special "reviews".
A salad can be the "first
act" to a meal, the "sup-
porting cast" to a meal, the
"encore" to a meal or even
be the complete "per-
formance".
Now to "set the stage" for
the "cast" of salad per-
formers. Even the simplest of
salads must be prepared with
loving care and attention to
details to be a success. Try
different salad greens, there
are so many in todays
markets. Greens must be
fresh and crisp. The salad
dressing must be a perfect
blend of seasonings selected
to make the salad distinctive.
Experiment with different
vinegars in the dressing and
yogurt or sour cream in place
of mayonnaise. This is so
easy to do using the de-
hydrated mixes for salad
dressings available from
Lawry's Foods of Canada.
Garnishes finish "dress-
ing" a salad. Give them
special attention. A garnish
an be as simple as a sprinkle
of coconut. a sprig of parsley
or a topping of clopped nuts.
With today's interest in
nutrition, salads "STAR"
in each menu. Depending
on which greens. vege-
tables, meats or fruits are
added, the vitamins and
minerals vary greatly con-
tributing to a balanced diet.
No matter how nutritious a
salad is, if it does not have
eye appeal and tempting
flavour, it will be a "flop".
With the flavour variety of
10 dry salad dressing mixes
manufactured by Lawry's,
there is bound to be one to
receive "curtain calls" from
your family. Deliciously
different the "Performing
Tuna Salad" is flavour
highlighted with Old Fashion
French Dressing Mix. This is
a refreshing blend of herbs,
spices and seasoning which
will draw a family "ap-
plause". Try it as a marinade
for vegetables, meats and
poultry. Featured in the
"cast" of ingredients are
budget minded tuna, dairy
sour cream and hard -cooked
eggs served in lettuce cups.
Accompany with dainty
sandwiches and celery fans.

Ontario's Peach Crop Is Mere
The Ontario fresh peach
crop is good this year. The
peaches not only taste
great, there are lots of
them. Lots to eat fresh -
lots to preserve.
The best peaches for
preserving. according to
food specialists at the
Ontario Food Council, are
the various freestone
varieties. This year they're
be on the market from
about August 8 to mid-
September. Freestone
peaches vary in color
according to the variety.
Some are golden, hke the
Golden Jubilees which will
be plentiful this year. They
are a flavorful peach,
excellent for freezing and
canning. Others are rosy
rrd .:Kc 'Inc
Redhaven and arc
excellent for preserving.
How Do You ReaWkIme
A Ripe Peach?
Don't judge a peach by
it's blush. The way to
determine if a peach is ripe
is to check the ground
color. With a Golden
Jubilee it's easy. Check the
color of the peach at the
stem end. If it's golden, the
peach is ripe. if it's green it
isn't ripe. For a rosy peach,
check for a yellow color
behind the blush at the
stem end just as you would
for a Golden Jubilee.
Freezing Peaches?
no more tnan 4 cups of
peaches at a time.
Peel, then slice 4 cups of
peaches into a bowl.
Dissolve '/4 teaspoon of
ascorbic acid in 1A cup of
:old water. Add to
beaches. Toss. Measure 2/2
u p of sugar. Add to
^eaches. Toss gently, but
7oroughly until the sugar
s dissolved. Put the
.peaches in plastic freezer
-aKs or freezer containers.
Sabel the packages. Freeze
m mediately.
For a dessert on it's own.
:reeze peaches in cold
.-. rup. Dissolve 2 cups of
sugar in 3 asps of water.
In this amount of cold
syrup (4 cups) dissolve 1/4
teaspoon of ascorbic acid.
Then peel and slice the
peaches into freezer
containers. Pour the syrup
over the peaches covering
them completely. Leave f -
inch headspace. Seal the
containers, label, freeze
immediately.
Both of these procedures
arc easy. So freeze some
beautiful Ontario peaches
each way. Just think of
how good they'll taste in
February.
Prepare now. Buy lots of
fresh Ontario peaches and
freeze them. Add ... psst ...
past it on. The peach crop
is just great this year.

though, that he does not

is so manifest with George
Crum. Miss Tennant and
Mr. Shramek seemed
comfortable and well able
to attack the difficult

that transformed the

feeling that their con-

from a knowledge of r
own ability but from the
comfortable certainty that
they would not be failed by
Mr. Crum.

Speaking To You
Scott Fennell
M.P. Ontario Riding
As I mentioned in last week's column, over the past 20
,.ears, Canada's BNA Act has been in a state of almost
continual review — so far without much success. This time,
"though, the pressure seems to be on and Canadians may
,well find themselves with a new constitution in a couple of
years.
With the First Minister's conference coming up in Sep-
tember, federal and provincial representatives spent the
.summer negotiating and compromising. Much of their
discussion focussed on a list of 12 "priorities" for a new
constitution, a list drawn up by the federal government.
One of them, patriation, was discussed last week. There
we'll look at those reforms Ottawa wants at the federal
.level.
SENATE: Nowadays, it's difficult to find many vocal
supporters of the Senate. Originally meant to balance
provincial interests against those of the popularly -elected
House of Commons. few could admit that the Senate has
successfully spoken out for the regions.
Without a doubt, the Senate does boast some incredibly
experienced and knowledgable persons who produce well -
reasoned critiques of government proposals. Yet, this same
task is also performed by Task Forces and Royal Com-
missions, with about the same impact.
Both the PC's and the Liberals put forth similar formulas
for revamping the Upper House and making it truly a forum
for federal -provincial relations. They include allowing the
provinces to appoint all, or at least the majority of the
members for the new Chamber and then giving this group
some real clout to deal with federal issues affecting the
provinces. With proper planning. the new Senate could help
improve relations between the provinces and Ottawa.
SUPREME COURT: Like Senators, Supreme Court
Justices are often criticized for being federal appointees.
As the Court responsible for interpreting and re -
Interpreting the constitution, the provinces see it as a
basically federal body, not representative of wider in-
terests. ( Even though the pattern of Supreme Court
decisions over the years has favoured the provinces, in
politics its often the perception, rather than the facts, which
count.)
Needless to say, the most recent suggestions on reform
have supported provincial input into Court appointments.
In addition, the federal Liberals generally favour more
representation on the bench from Quebec and entrenching
the Court in the constitution. Right now, the Supreme Court
exists only as an Act of Parliament.
CHARTER OR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS: John
Diefenbaker's Bill of Rights was never made a part of the
constitution. It remains only another Act of Parliament and
Acts can be amended or even repealed. By enshrining the
principles of civil and political rights in a new BNA Act,
they would be binding on both the federal and provincial
governments.
In an era of 'increasing government involvement in
people's lives, a charter like this would protect the in-
dividual from excesses of an expanding bureaucracy and
help discipline the power of the state.
One particular aspect of the charter concept is quite
controversial: language rights. Intended to ensure "equal
respect" throughout the country for both official languages,
in practice the charter would provide for education and
other services in the second language wherever in Canada
the numbers warranted.
In the opinion of some of the provinces, a Charter of Rights
and Freedoms is secondary, if not irrelevent, to the more
fundamental questions of resource ownership and
equalization. Since Trudeau has already said that the
Charter cannot be "traded -off" for other concessions to the
provinces, the roam to negotiate has already diminished.

In recognition of the lifelong contribution that Ontario
senior citizens have made to their communities and the
Province, the Government of Ontario this year introduced
two new tax grants for seniors. First, most seniors have
paid municipal and school taxes throughout their working
years, and continue to do so. Ontario's new Property Tax
Grant will help homeowners and tenants 65 years of age or
older pay all or a large part of these taxes to a maximum of
500. These grants will be paid directly to seniors in the
Spring and Fall of each year, shortly after municipal tax
bills arrive.
The second part of the program is the new Sales Tax Grant
paid once a year to help offset retail sales tax for Ontario
seniors.
If you are an Ontario resident, 65 years of age or over and
you pay ply tax on your residence or rent for your
accomodation, you are eligible for the property tax grant
regardless of your income. Depending upon the amount of
property tax or rent paid, you may receive annually a
property tax grant of up to $5W per household. For tenants,
the grant is 20% of the rent on your principal residence, or
SW whichever is less. Only one property tax grant will be
paid to a married couple or unmarried seniors who share
accommodations.
An application for the property tax grant will be
automatically mailed to any seniors who receive the federal
Old Age Security pension in late August of this year. if you
do not receive the Old Age Security pensions, call the
Ministry of Revenue information Centre for details at 965-
8470.
If you rent, you must attach receipts to your application
form. Contact your landlord now to arrange for receipts if
you don't normally receive them. If you own your home,
ark By George Ashe M.P.P.
you should enter the Assessment Roll Number on the ap-
plication. This number appears on your Notice of
Assessment and Municipal Enumeration Notice, which you
receive each year. But, if this number is not readily
available this year, just complete the rest of your ap-
plication form and return it to us. However, next year,
please remember to keep your Notice of Assessment since
you will need the Assessment Roll Number for your next
application in 1981.
The Ontario Ministry of Revenue will process your 1800
application for the Property Tax grant as soon as it is
received. Complete your application very carefully, and get
it in quickly. Detailed instructions will accompany the
application form.
Starting in 1961, you will receive your Property Tax grant
in two installments. Early in 1961, a cheque for one half of
your 1980 grant will be automatically mailed to you. Later
that year, you will receive an application form, which when
processed will make up the balance of your annual grant.
No application is necessary for the sales tax grant, if you
receive the Old Age Security pension. The $50 grant will be
mailed to you automatically in September of 1880. If you do
not receive the Old Age Security pension, contact the
Ministry of Revenue Information Centre at 966-8470 for
complete details on applying.
Neither of these grants will be added to your income for
Federal and Provincial Income Tax purposes. However,
they do replace the previous Ontario Tax credits for
seniors. This new program now allows you to receive
municipal and school tax assistance directly and quickly,
without filling in a special income tax form.
For further information on the program, be sure to call the
Information Centre at 965-8470.

Unadjustable car steering wheels. Low feet -in -front
automobile car seats. Rigid school desks. Modern sofas
with curved backs or no backs. Everywhere, we are
surrounded with furniture and devices that not only do not
help our posture, but in some cases do damage to it. And
chronic poor posture can lead to fatigue, irritability,
muscle strain, and in extreme cases, functional and
organic problems.
Even in your home you probably have many "posture
traps" which you use for relaxation and comfort, but
which in reality are detrimental to normal body balance.
Unfortunately, most people confuse softness with
comfort, and don't realise that unless a seat or
mattress is firm enough and supportive enough to properly
hold the spine, the vital muscles and joints can be
strained. Sinking into your favorite chair can also
crowd your abdomen, compress your chest cavity and
ultimately hinder your body from functioning healthfully.
On the other hand, stiff and unyielding chairs can be
damaging too. Some school desks are prime examples.
Seats should allow the child to rest his feet on the
floor, with the knees at a right angle. The back of the chair
should support the spine and prevent the chest from
sagging -
There are several things you can do to achieve
healthier sitting posture for your family. First of all, get
rid of harmful "posture traps". Invest in posture
supportive chairs. Don't forget that softness and comfort
are not synonymous, and that the true test of a seat is
whether you can sit in it for long periods of time without
fatigue or discomfort. The old-fashioned rocking chair,
which exercises the legs and stimulates blood
circulation as it supports the back, is often found to be
an excellent posture seat.
Your mattress should also be firm. If you do not have a
mattress which has been specifically engineered and
designed to give a good sleeping posture, it is
recommended that you temporarily place a piece of
plywood between your present mattress and box springs to
keep your bed form.
Your car, another possible "posture trap", should
likewise be chosen carefully. Look for adjustable seats,
ample leg room, seating that lets you sit on your rump
and not the end of your spine, dashboard instruments
which can he reached without strain, and firm seat
cushioning.
Your doctor of chiropractic reminds you that when you
permit your spine to sag, you are allowing muscles to relax
and ligaments to be placed under tension as the segments
of the spine reach their limit of motion. This in turn can
cause many types of health problems.
The solution: Have periodic spinal examinations. And if
your dog wants the broken down, sagging easy chair,
give it to him. Stay out of "posture traps," and
enjoy life to its fullest.
