1963 the $3000 federal
CHOiSP grant as well as in-
terest rate stability have
been the driving forces
behind the resurgence of
the regional housing
mattoet for sirrgie family
detached (SED) homes,
and July was no exception
according the Canada Mor-
tgage and Housing Cor-
poration market report for
July 1983.
The report states that the
only difference now is that
the impact has shifted from
record high starts to record
high absorptions.
In July, regional SFD
starts totalled 101 units
compared with an average
of 247 starts monthly dur-
ing the January to June
1983 period. Of the 101
units, 47 were located in
Pickering and 25 in Whitby.
On the matter of SFD ab-
saptiaas, a cbeck d CMHC
recard& from 1979 to 1982
reveals that September
1961 was the only month
when absorptions
or exceeded 20o units, the
actual total being 233
homes.
For 1983, five of the seven
months including July ex-
ceeded 200 units, the
average being 279 units. Ju-
ly carne in at 250 SFD ab-
.
In contrast to a vibrant
SFD market, the report
&bows that thesoh ly d
freehold semis and _street
townhouses remains
miniri al acro&s the region
with only 52 semis and 14
row dwellings under Con-
struction.
Buyer preferences for af-
fordable housing are being
revealed in a con<inuing de -
mand for small lot singles
linked underground at the
footings, but detached
above grade, rather than
for standard attached
dwellings which have party
wall(s) extending from the
grand to the rod.
The advantages of the
latter, of course, are
economic as seen in a
reduced selling price for
the hone (less materials,
labour and, in the case of
row dwellings, land are
needed to construct it) and
lower operating and
maintenance costs ( mainly
heating) due to the party
wall(s).
Last month CMHC made
reference to an improved
outlook for the regional
rental market due to pen-
ding Canada Rental Supply
Plan approvals for multi-
ple projects in Oshawa (76
townhouses) and Whitby
(248 apartments).
In addition to providing
fifteen year interest free
lams to these projects so
that their rents can be com-
petitive with the existing
stock readers may be in-
terested to know that the
program allows for up to
one•yuarter of the units to
be offered to the Province
of Ontario under the rent
supplement program.

gram are expected to

Recovery Underway
The economic recovery now under way in Canada can be
expected to continue throughout 1983 and 1984, says
'Econascope', The Royal Bank of Canada's monthly
economic report.
The recovery moved into the fast lane in the first half of
1983 as moderating wage and price inflation and a pro-
gressive easing of interest rates sparked strong activity in
residential construction and consumer spending, according
to Royal Bank economists.
Canada's real gross national product (GNP) is expected to
expand by 2.8 percent during 1983, an upward adjustment
from an earlier 'Econoscope' forecast of 1.5 percent. The
improvement is based largely on added strength in housing
starts and the robust recovery in consumer durables.
"Under our revised outlook, real GNP recovers its pre -
recession peak by the first quarter of 1984, roughly half a
year earlier than indicated in our previous forecast,." the
report says.
As the world economic recovery gathers momentum and
business investment joins the consumer -led recovery in
1984, 'Econoscope' expects a rise in real GNP of 4.7 percent
on average in that year.
Inflation as measured by the GNP price index is expected
to ease to 6.2 percent this year and 5-2 percent in 1984.
Lower wage demands and an upturn in productivity have
contributed to further moderation in inflation and stronger
increases in corporate pmts. which are forecast to almost
double on a before -tax basis during the two-year forecast
period.
Canada's improving inflation record and strong current
account position should continue to provide basic support
for the Canadian dollar which is forecast to climb above the
U.S. 82 cent level in 1984.
Despite the recent hardening of U.S. interest rates,
'Econoscope' forecasts a potential downward bias in both
Canadian and U.S. interest rates. especially in 1984. as the
momentum of inflation in both countries continues to ebb
and the pace of the recovery slows somewhat especially
near the end of that year.

Mainstream Canada
Bennett bites the bullet
By W. Roger Worth
Finally, a Canadian political
leader is talking reason and
acting on his beliefs.
The issue? Something called
"tenure" in public sector em-
ployment. For those of us
who are not academics or civil
servants, "tenure" essentially
means that some people
holding specified jobs can't be
furd, laid off. or in practice,
even demoted.
Think about it. Effective
lifetime job security. No
threat of layoffs. A pay raise
that is as good or better than
those received by other
workers. In addition, the jobs
offer a lucrative pension
scheme.
Enter the wonderful, uto-
pian, yet unreal life that exists
for most of Canada's public
sector employees. For many.
it's a dream tonne true.
In recent weeks, though,
the system that coddles public
sector uapk>yees has come
under attack, and with good
reason. British Columbia
Premier, William Bennett, has
indicated in no uncertain
terms that he is about to get
rid of thousands of civil ser-
vants who are overpaid,
underworked and many times
less efficient than their
counterparts in the private
sector.
While Bennett is intro-
ducing legislation that will
allow the province to dump
the employees, the regulations
will, more importantly per-
haps, let B.C. retain hard
workers, no matter their
seniority, and fire those that
are the least effective.
Naturally, Bennett has been
under fire from labour leaders
and various groups from
British Columbia and across
the station. But he's also re-
ceived support from organiza-
tions such as the 64,000
member Canadian Federation
of Independent Business.
Bennett's plan is "econom-
ically sensible, morally
The James Weir Farm House historic plaque was unveiled

leadership in an area where
governments have been negli-
gent for too long," says CFIB Report From —
president John Bulloch. "Thisis an
example whichOttawaTom Wells
and other governments, pro-
vincial as well as municipal,
mould follow." MPP Scarborough North
Bulloch is right. Public sec -
tot employment has become
so secure and lucrative that it
is hard to dispute the reason-
ing behind the surge in appli-
cations for civil service jobs.
A study by no less an au-
thority than the federal
government's Labour Can-
ada. for example, found civil
service office clerks, computer
operators, systems analysts,
telephone operators and even
office boys and girls to be the
highest paid in the country in
their categories. And in a
great manly other categories,
the government workers fared
much higher than average in
competition with their private
sector counterparts.
The civil service game, of
course, has gotten out of
hand. Public sector unions
have managed to force gov-
ernments to lead the field in
salary negotiations by
threatening yet another strike
that may hold up pension
cheques or another govern-
ment service that affects
millions of people. And
private sector companies are
forced to meet government
competition when it comes to
setting wages.
Premier Bennett deserves a
great deal of praise for his ac-
tion on tough, yet necessary,
legislation on the public sec-
tor. As in other jurisdictions,
the total civil service bill ends
up in the hands of taxpayers,
and we've been paying much
too much, for much too long,
for a seemingly mediocre
service.

RE: ELECTORAL BOUNDARY REDISTRIBUTION
Although Canada as a whole is not experiencing a rapid
growth in population, certain parts of the country are grow-
ing very quickly with the result that some electoral districts
have considerably larger populations than other.
The riding of Scarborough North is one such area. The con-
tinued expansion of our community has made this riding
the largest electoral district in Ontario in terms of the
munber of people who are eligible to vote. The 1981 census
figures showed a population of 163,167 for Scarborough
North.
To reduce any inequality resulting from an uneven
distribution of votes in existing ridings, redistribution of
electoral districts is carried out from time to time. This in-
volves the moving of riding boundaries.
Unlike the federal government which is required by the
British North America Act to conduct a redistribution of
seats after every dicennial census, the Ontario government
has no requirement to conduct such a redistribution.
In the period from 1867 to 1975, however, Ontario has
redistributed seats 14 times or roughly every seven to eight
years. By that formula, redistribution is again due and
before the House rase for the summer recess, I introduced a
resohition establishing a independent commission to study
redistribution of electoral districts in Ontario.
The commission members are Mr. Justice Samuel Hughes
of the Ontario Supreme Court, Ontario Chief Election Of-
ficer Warren Bailie and Profesor J. Neville Thompsonn from
the University of Western Ontario.
Over the last few months they have been developing draft
proposals which will be subjected to a province -wide public
hearing process, expected to take place next spring and
suauner.
The hearings will give MPPs, municipal representatives,
groups and individuals an opportunity to respond to the pro-
posed changes.
The entire process is expected to be completed within 18
months so that the changes will be in place in time for the
next provincial election.
As always, the main objective of redistribution is to ensure
that Ontario remains sensitive to the changing needs of our
increasingly diverse population. It is not simply a case of
responding to a change in numbers, but determining with
your help, if certain communities would be better served by
the changes proposed.

Wed. Aug. 31, 1963 THE NEWSIPOST Papa 3
Decision: Pay $140,000 Or Not
The issue which already
had been debated at two
previous Board of Control
meetings, was whether or
not to award the contract
for the Morningside
Tributary Diversion to the
Rouge River to G.C.
Romano Sous. The hitch
was that Romano forgot to
attach the company's cor-
porate seal on the tender
bid.
Lawyers for the company
argued that the omission of
a seal did not effect the
legality of the bid- Board of
Control had already decid-
ed to give the contract to
Romano.
However, some council ,
Members wanted instead
to give the contract to the
next lowest bid, York Ex-
cavating and Grading at
$140,000 more than
Roman's bid. The motion
to give the contract to York
failed to receive the two-
thirds majority necessary
to ova -ride Board of Con-
trol on financial matters.
Instead, Council voted to
refer the entire matter to
Board of Control.
If Board of Control sticks
to its recommendations, it
is anybody's guess what
will happen at council next
time when the item comes
back again.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
By the time this appears
in print we fully expect that
PORGY AND BESS which
is currently appearing at
The O'Keefe will be the
finest attraction in the city.
By that we mean that the
production will have come
to terms with the O'Keefe
stage. On opening night it
had not and the result was
a near failure for a work
that is virtually failproof.
Contrary to many detrac-
tors, The O'Keefe is a fine,
perhaps even magnificent
facility. But, and this is
very important, it must be
used properly. If it is not
then even the best of pro
duction can be less than
fully effective. So it was on
opening night.
Probably the single
greatest and certainly
most annoying fault was
the difficulty in making out
the lyrics. We suspect that
many in the audience
understood them only
because they have heard
them so often.
Frequently balance bet-
ween the orchestra and the
singers was missing with
the former overwhelming
the latter. We suspect the
fault lay with the sound
engineers.
Also, performers would
frequently find themselves
in a stage dead spot. Of
course, this can be over-
come with familiarity but
the company is rotating the
principal roles ( this is an
opera after all) and one
wonders how long it will be
before all members of the
cast are able to avoid the
aural pitfalls.
Scene changes were done
badly but, to be fair. the set
is lavish and the props big
and unwieldy. Opening
night lapses are
forgiveable.
Is it worth your entertain-
ment dollar to see this pro-
duction of Porgy and Bess?
We believe so, particularly
if the production is all that
it should be. Certainly, one
cannot go wrong with the
music of George Gershwin
and the lyrics of Ira Ger-
shwin and DuBose
Heyward.
And, the orchestra is
superb being large enough
to employ the original or-
chestrations and disciplin-
ed enough to do them full
justice.
Incidentally, the program
notes refer to them as the
original of George Ger-
shwin but that's an error.
Gershwin never or-
chestrated. He could but
never did. (Check the
writings of Oscar Levant
for confirmation.) We
suspect they might be by
Ferde Grofe but it doesn't
really matter who did
them. They are quite simp-
ly superb.
Superb too are the
singers. We will not single
out because of the rotating
nature of the roles. Let us
say only that each and
every one is worthy of solo
attention. In ensemble, the
effect is almost over-
whelming in its awesome
beauty.
Yes, we enjoyed Porgy
and Bess; not as much,
mind you, as the landmark
Houston Opera production
but well enough to recom-
mend it to all, even as we
saw it on opening night.
But, if it overcomes the in-
itial technical flaws then
friends, this is a show you
will count yourself among
the accursed to have
missed!
ON SCREEN:
P. & G. at The O.K. has
some scenes not normally
included in smaller produc-
tions. "A Star Is Born" cur-
rently stowing in town has
some scenes never before
seen. This is the 1954 Judy
Garland version and the
extra scenes were ones
originally cut and thought
to have been subsequently
lost.
We find it difficult to state
whether the inclusion of the
extra scenes has improved
it. Certainly they have done
no harm but the film was

powerful enough as
originally released. And by
heaven, it's still powerful!
We saw it at a special ad-
vance screening and there
was hardly a dry eye in the
audience during and after
the better than three hours
running time.
It's been a long time as
well since we've heard
spontaneous applause for
numbers and scenes well
done. Remember too that
this was a predominantly
media audience.
If we have any bad vibes
about the film it's because
of the realization of how
much time has elapsed
since its original release
and what has happened in
the interim. Three of the
five principals are dead.
Only James Mason and
Tommy Noonan are still
with us.
James Mason continues to
be the English speaking
world's most under rated
actor and to steal every
picture in which he appears
.. as he does in "A Star Is
Born"
Tommy Noonan can be
seen in the Rodney Danger -
field movie "Easy Money"
in the role of Paddy. Yes,
that bald chappy is he!

it'd be "Summer Holiday'
This came along just
about at the end of the long
string of lush MGM
musicals and was largely
overlooked. We've always
felt it was because the
public was simply tired of
too many musicals at the
time.
Whatever, it's a musical
version of "Ah Wilderness..
by Eugene O'Neill ( Don't
confuse it with the later
"Take Me Along" starring
Jackie Gleason) directed
by Rouben Mamoulian.

Rooney and Gloria
DeHaven but watch for
Marilyn Maxwell in the

ON RECORD -
When we're reviewing
Rode performers unknown
to us we sometimes have
difficulty determining
which is the name of the
album and which is the
name of the group. Forgive
us then if we have them
mixed as we review "Fire
Dances by Killing Joke"
( Passport Records) .
One of the cuts is titled
"Frenzy" and that just
about sums up the entire
album .. electronic frenzy.
It is literally wild! As is so
often the case on rock
records the lyrics are vir-
tually unintelligible but it
really doesn't matter.
The strength here is the
powerful percussion in con-
stant evidence. We don't
know who is responsible for
it - we have no liner notes -
but a tremendous job has
been done.
If we were writing P.R.
notes we'd describe this
album as synocpated
thunder. By now it should
be obvious that we like it.
Damme if we really know
just what it's supposed to
be but we surely do like it!
We think you will too.
IN PRINT:
The fall and winter
catalogues are starting to
arrive from the major
publishers and, as always,
they contain a feast of
pleasures for bibliophiles.
Ordinarily we don't men-
tion catalogues and rely
solely on our reviews of the
books mentioned therein
and submitted to us. We
really must, however,
share a chuckle from the
Collins Catalogue.
It seems that Allen Abel
has produced a collection
of his sports columns from
the Globe and Mail. The ti-
tle is "But I Loved It Well".
Descriptive notes state,
"Allen Abel was one of the
best sportswriters in
Canada". That's subjective
and debatable. We are
prepared to admit that he
might have been.
What really breaks us up
is the following statement.
"In recognition of his
writing ability, The Globe
& Mail has assigned him to
its China Bureau." Only
the Globe would reward a
job well done by transfers
ing the one responsible to
another assignment!
Never mind Allen, with six

Continuing with the
review of Psalms this week
Rev. Butler chose the 46th
"God is our refuge and
strength"
It is good to have a refuge
where one can retire for a
quiet period to think things
out and perhaps decide
where our paths are
leading us.
At the same time it is
necessary to have a source
of strength along with the
refuge because being
human, our ability to take
things in our stride often
wears a little thin. So it is
necessary to be able to call
an some extra power when
needed. As the Psalmist
says "Be still and know
that I am God".
So amidst your busy
haus, perhaps so busy you
have no time, make the
time if only a few moments
in a day, to be quiet and
listen - God is there.

ROUND AND ABOUT:
Don't forget the Famous

tonight at the Royal Alex.
We had thought they were
doing a week and a half but
they're here only until this
Saturday.
Penny East 'phoned to tell
us about Air Waves '83
coming up on Sept. 9th to
the lith at The Constella-
tion. It's quite a sound show
and we'll have more details
as and when.
Gentle amusements are
all around us. Indeed,
many can be found from
beyond the grave. Consider
these gravestone epitaphs
encountered during a
lifetime of sometimes
aimless wanderings.
In a Ruidoso, New Mexico
cemetery . . Here lies
Johnny Yeast. Pardon me
for not rising.
How about this from a
spinster's grave in a Scran-
ton, Pennsylvania
cemetery? No hit, no runs,
no heirs.
Our favourite though is to
be found in the Oak Grove
Cemetery in Pawtucket,
Rhode Island. It is inscrib-
ed on a huge boulder over
the grave of one William P.
Rothwell who lived from
1866 to 1939 ... This one is

Get $3000 Loan
Scarborough Council has
decided to lend the Agin-
court Music Theatre $3,000
despite warnings from
several councillors that
such a decision would set a
dangerous precedent.
The money is to be paid
back from proceeds of
theatre ticket sales.
The group found itself in
financial problems when a
sponsor for the production
of "Annie" pulled out at the
last minute. Five officers
of the group have taken
responsibility to pay back
the money.
Lmxhng groom money in-
stead of giving them
outright grants is an ..in-
novative" use of money ac-
cording to Alderman Joe
DeKort. "Many groups are
tired of hand-outs" DeKort
argued last week before
Council.
If this arrangement with
Agincourt Music Theatre
works out well. DeKort
wants Council to loan out
more money next year.
This is only the second in-
stance of council lending
money to its citizens.
Several years ago. Council
loaned money to residents
batting onto Midland Ave.
south of Ellesmere to build
a uniform fence along
Midland.
Only six council members
opposed the loan. Alder-
man Barry Christensen
argued that taxpayers'
money should not be loaned
and asked those council
members who supported
the loan to be personally
responsible that the money
is paid back.
Alderman Kurt
Christensen, who also op-
posed the loan, told Council
it would be opening the
door to many other groups
as well as businesses to ask
for loam.

who voted agairm the loan,

Prime Minister Trudeau has again shuffled his Cabinet for
the third time this year. With the gallup polls showing the
Liberals at an all time low, it is obvious that Mr. Ttudeau's
main concern at present is that election time is nearing. To
create more support for his party, he has decided to re-
arrange the position of his Ministers and dispose of those
Ministers who were, in his opinion, unappealing to the
public. I agree with Mr. Mulroney in that Mr. Trudeau shuf-
fled from the bottom of a bad deck of cards. The Liberals
have run out of fresh ideas and this most recent Cabinet
shuffle was a last ditch attempt to appease the business
community and the Canadian public.
The Canadian public should be allowed to decide what they
want and let Mr. Trudeau know their feelings on his co -
called economic solutions. This can happen only by way of
an election which would be an ideal solution to our
economic problems. However, with the gallup polls in
favour of the Conservative Party, Mr. Trudeau will wait.
Instead of trying to give his Cabinet a face-lift, Mr.
Trudeau and his followers should be dealing with the pre-
sent problems of unempk*mient, particularly structural
unemployment; a fact which cannot be ignored. Instead of
doing a bit of window dressing, something should be done to
deal with this increasing problem which will not just disap-
ppeeaarr in the near future. At the expense of small
busunessmen throughout Canada, the government let in-
terest rates rise as high as they did until they telly
declined, not from Liberal tactics, but as a result of the U.S.
recovery.
I feel that the Canadian people are sick and tird of this type
of wait and see attitude, while they go through desperate
times. Mr. Trudeau knows this yet continues to try and
cover up the important issues and ignores the wishes of the
public.

PICKERING NUCLEAR STATION - The record speaks for
itself -
Although the Pickering Nuclear Generating Statim is a
familiar name to the residents of the Durham area, recent
publicity has resulted in the nuclear station becoming a
household word throughout the province. From the incep-
tion of the Pickering Nuclear Station, staff have been
available to provide Ontatians with a better understanding
of the role of nuclear power. The Nuclear Corrimunications
Centre is both exciting and informative and contains a
variety of display panels, animated modeles, videotapes and
computer games for those interested in the subject of
nuclear powr.
Ontario Hydro takes its responsibility to the public
seriously and has worked diligently to keep everyone well
informed about the operatics of the nuclear statim.
The community projects at Pickering are important and
successful, complementing the reputation which the
Pickering Nuclear Generating Statim has attained in the
technical field.
In terms of lifetime performance, Pic kering's fora' units
rank in the top ten in the world, for cumulative reliability
and efficiency of commercial size reactors.
Nuclear power is a vital element in Ontario's energy
strategy for the future, and we intend to continue to develop
its potential. After all, while Ontario has few fossil fuels, we
have an abundant supply of electricity, produced through
nuclear and hydro power.
In light of the adverse publicity which the Pickering
Nuclear Centre has received there are a few fads which
bear repeating:
The average cost of a kilowatt-hour of electricity from the
Pickering station in 1982 was 1.58 ants (the comparable
figure at the Lambtan coal-fired generating station, built
about the same time as Pickering and otherwise com-
parable, was 237 cants, or about 50% higher).
Pickering has produced more electricity than any other
nuclear station in the ward (155 billion kilowattfiours or
nearly 3 times the electrical consumption of Metiropolitan
Toronto in MID and its performance has been the best in
the world, over-all.
No member of the public has ever received a nv asurable
radiation dose from the Pickering station, or indeed, any
other Ontario nuclear statim.
No Hydro micbm worker has ever received a radustion
dose that would be medically classified as an injury.
The Pickering Nuclear Station has been one of the most
suucceessful investments that the Canadian Govern, the
Ontario Government, and Ontario Hydro, have ever made;
the reactors paid for themselves in three years and have
paid for themselves marry times over since then.
Emrisaiotts from Pickering have never exceeded the an-
nual limits established by the Atomic Energy Centro!
Board.
The design and construction of a Cando reactor with its
built-in safety systems is second to none in the world
Nothing built can be said to be flawless as problems are an.
ticipated and staff are trained to react to them. Regardless
of how some individuals will, for their own purposes, distort
and exaggerate the recent incidents at the Pickering sta-
tion I repeat ... the record speaks for itself. Safe, clean
nuclear -generated electricity is and will continue to be one
of the positive strengths in the future of our great province.

Training This Puppy
- A Labour Of Love
by aIssO n D. Whytee
When Scarborough's Stephanie Gamicott picked up a
seven week old black Labrador puppy at the Buffalo airport
last month, she became the first Canadian volunteer
trainer for `•seeing dogs„
Weeks before, 17 year old Gannicott was watching a blind
woman on television talk about the 4H (Heart, Hands, Had
and Health) Club's involvernent in training seeing -eye
dogs. Gamicott's love for animals prompted her to contact
the Buffalo based club to ask if she could get involved with
their work.
Once the Guiding Eye School for the Blind in New York ap-
proved Gamiava's request, she wont to work as a trainer.
For the fust three months, she said her puppy, Sampson,
will undergo general house training and be taught to walk
an a leash.
As soon as Sampson is three months old, Gannicott said
she will teach him how to respond to verbal commands. He
will learn bow to sit, he down, turn left and right, go for-
ward and stop, cores the road and walk the correct distance
ahead of his blind owner.
Serromm's training with Gannicott, who works at Parker
Boarding Kennel, will continue until be a 10 months aid. At
that time, she added, Sampson will return to the United
States to be trained in a harness.
Once Sampson has learned distances and bow to lead a
blind person, he will be seat to New York for training with
his blind owner. The training will last a month and then
Gannicott said she will attend a graduation ceremony fx
Sampson and his new owner.
"My family fell in love with Sampson,.. Gannicottsaid, ad-
ding that it seems to be a mutual infatuation. Alfhongh it
will be hard to give the dog up, Gamucott added that know-
ing Sampson will be going to a good cause makes it a little
easier.
For now, Gannicott said she enjoys just having Sampson
around She is keeping a "puappybood" diary on the dog
which will be translated into braille and given to his blind
owner.
Raising Sampson is a labour of love as the only pay she
recieves for training Sampson is the satisfaction of kDowing
be will be someone else's eyes.
If successful with Sampson, Gannicott said she hopes the
Guide Eye School for the Blind will let her rare and train
another puppy. To study veterinary medicine after she
graduates from high school, is the plan of Stephanie Gan -

Anti -Rabies
Shots
by Gay Abbate
Thirteen Scarborough
residents, mainly
teenagers, are deceiving
anti -rabies treatment after
corning into direct contact
with two bats last week.
A total of three bats were
reported in the vicinity of
3131 Eglinton Ave. E. near
Markham Rd last week.
The carcasses of two of
the bats disappeared
before testing could be
done to find out if they were
rabid. However, health of-
ficials are going on the
presumption that they
were rabid and as a result,
S o-
ifishots undergo.
exposure anti -rabies treat-
ment over the nod 2B days.
The third bat, actually the
first one reported, was
found in a pail on a balcony
at 3131 Eglinton Ave. E.
Luridly no one came into
direct contact with this bat
which was found to have
rabies.
Fears that one family,
camping somewhere near
Peterborough, may have
been in contact with the
rabid beet have proved
groundless -
No one knows where the
buts came from and no one
knows if there are more of
them Anyone spotting a
bat is urged not to conch it
but to immediately contact
either the rough
Department of Health or
the Animal Control Centre.
Chess: It's
Your Move
Many individuals have
played casual chess,
however, very few have
played competitive tourna-
ment dress.
That is the observation of
Ernie Mcuignat who, as
president of the West Hill
Chess Club, is a strong ad-
vocate of the game's com-
petitive aspects -
"Everyone at one time or
another has been exposed
to casual chess. Tbat is the
type of chess that one plays
an a rainy day when there
is nothing better to do,"
Muognat says.
''Tournament chess, that
is the real activity for truly
interested players. It is an
excellent way of testing
one's true mental abilities
at the game, as other fac-
tors play a role; namely,
the touch -move rule, recor-
ding of moves, and time
control," he added.
Mucignat, who became
president in September
1982, maintains that the
competition and challenge
sustain the interest of club
members. (Tournament
games are played with
chess clocks).
"It is imperative that the
playing surroundings are
competitive, so that the in-
terest is maintained. Of
course, people play chess
because it is enjoyable;
however, the competition
aspect is very important."
The West Hill Chess Club
meets every Tuesday, from
7 p.m. to 12 midnight, at Sir
Oliver Mowat Collegiate,
5400 Lawrence Ave. E. at
Charlottetown Blvd, in the
spacious cafeteria.
The club offers rated
tournaments for members
of the Chess Federation of
Canada (CFC). The CFC
has a mathematical rating
system, whereby any
player in Canada can com-
pare his/her strength with
that of other playas in the
country -
Wed Aug. 31, 1983 THE NENrSf W Pager 9
May Close First Scarborough School -.
by Gay Abbate
For the second time in as
many years, the Scar-
borough Board of Educa-
tion is reviewing schools
for possible clown. Cur-
rently under review are
Terraview Heights P.S.
and Gooderham Jr. P.S.
The board is inviting com-
munity input into the future
of these two schools at a
public meeting to be held
on Mon. Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. in
the auditorium of Wexford
Collegiate, 1176 Pharmacy
Ave.
Board policy is to review a
school when enrollment
falls below a specified
figura. For junior schools
(JK to grade 6), this target
figure or public
schools JK to'gradde 9) this
figure is 160.
Neither of the two schools,
as yet, has fallen drastical-
ly below the ensnllmmt
figures which necessitate a
review. In fact,
Gooderham, with an enroll-
ment of 109, is just one
nuoil C short of the cut-off
rgure while enrollment at
Terraview Heights is still
above the 140 mark.
The board has decided on
the review now because it
is projecting that by 1989
the number of students will
drop to 121, well below the
cut-off figure.
The two schools are being
reviewed together because
of their close proximity.
Goode ham is off Pbar-
macy on Gooderham Dr.
north of Lawrence; Ter-
raview Hei is on Phar-
macy close to the 401. Both
schools are in ward 3.
The review pencPon could
possibly Wad to a con-
solidation of schools
especially of Terrav-
Heights with nearby
Willowfield Gardens both
of which are JK to grade 8.
As a result of the review,
the board could be facing
the fust closure of a Scar-
borough school.
Two other schools have
already undergone a
similar review. Based on
the recommendations of
the review committee, the
school board has decided to

Board Rejects
Union Request
On July 27th, the Ontario
Inflation Restraint Board
considered an application
of the Ontario Public Ser-
vice Employees' Union,
dated June 2nd, requesting
the board to review the
decision of the Scar-
borough Centenary
Hospital, not to grant the
full discretionary increase
of $1,000 for those
employees of the bargain-
ing unit earning less than
$"20,000 per year.
The hospital ad-
ministrator drew to the
board's attention the
substantial increases that
these employees received
during the previous two
years.
He contends that these in-
creases distorted the rela-
tionship that existed bet-
ween the salaries of these
employees and those of the
other employee groups in
the hospital.
In light of this fact and to
avoid further distorting of
these salary relationships,

Althia Thomas Off To Summer Games
Like many of the 3,000
athletes to participate in
the 1963 Ontario Summer
Games, Althia Thomas
harbours dream of future
Olympic Games.
"The 1968 Olympics aren't
that far away, says the
15 -year-old sprinter from
Scarborough. "That's why
I'm running now. I'm get-
ting ready."
The Ontario Summer
Games, set for Sudbury
from Sept. 2-5, will include
baseball, basketball,
canoeing, cricket, cycling,
field hockey, golf, karate,
orienteering, rugby, sail-
ing, shooting, softball,
swimming, tennis, track
and field, volleyball and
water skiing.
The Games are a program
of the Ministry of Tourism
and Recreation to aid the
development of talented
amateur athletes.
Althia Thomas says she
wants to do well at the On-
tario Summer Games. "I
want to close off the year
performing well," she
says. "The Games will let
me compete with other
great runners like Franco
Gareau of North Bay and
Katie Anderson of
Toronto."
Althia is an up-and-
coming achiever. Last
June, she won the 100
metre, 200 metre and long
jump events at the Ontario
Federation of Schools
Athletics Association (OF -
SAA) Championships in
Kitchener.
In June, she placed 5th in
the Women's 100 metre
finals and 7th in the 200
metre finals at the Cana-
dian Senior Championships
in Calgary.
A member of the Scar-
borough Optimist Track
and Field Club, Althia is
confident the Summer
Games will provide her
with the perfect environ-
ment to excel. "Right
now," she says, "I think I
run better than Angella
Taylor did at my age."

Proceeds of the first an-

Pitch tournament were
turned over to the hospital
on Tues. Aug. 30 by Jim
Gott, Toronto Blue Jay Pit-
cher.
The presentation took
place at the hospital's
Sports Medicine Clinic
located at the south end of
the main ground floor cor-
ridor.
'The Aug. 13th tourna-
ment which raised over
$4.000 was the largest mix -
continually changing. It
carries most items found in

in many languages, large
print books, paperbacks,
picture and board books,
records, cassettes and a 16
mm film catalogue for the
selection of films.

About one half of the
funds raised were used to
buy an ultrasound therapy
machine for use in the
clinic and the balance of
the proceeds will be turned
over to the clinic for use as
needed to help children
with sport related injuries.
Besides the Ultrasound
machine and cash, Jim
Gott also donated several
Blue Jay artifacts and
souvenirs to the clinic. His
softball team, the Base In-
vaders, formally presented
a large four foot tall
