This year. Bell Canada expects close to one million long distance calls will be plac- ed from telephones in On- tario going to other loca- tions in the province, across Canada and around the world. Nation-wide, the total number of long distance calls could reach 6 million including both operator - assisted and direct -dialed calls. Most calls will be dialed direct by customers since that's the cheapest and fastest way to can long distance. In Durham Region, Christmas Day should see about 26,000 operator - assisted calls. some 69% more than on a regular business day. To handle those calls. there'll be a 58% increase in operators staffing the office. On (mamas Eve. Edi expects long distance call- ing to increase after 5 p.m. and continue through the night From early morning to 7 a.m. on Clnrimmas Day. there'll be a busy penod because of a large number of overseas calls into dif- ferent time zones. "We expect calling to pick up again around 10 a.m. and continue through Christmas Day and even- ing," says Orma Lyttle. Bell's local manager. New t'ear's Eve is busier than New Year's Day, so Bell expects the heaviest calling period will be from midnight, New Year's Eve. until about 3 a.m. Mrs. Lvttle offers the following advice for plac- ing Christmas calls: A bit of planning before the holidays will help calls go through smoothly. Callers can save time by getting the telephone numbers they need in ad- vance. Directory Assistance operators at "1", plus the area code if required. plus 555-1212, can provide out- of-town telephone numbers for all of North America. For overseas directory assistance, callers need on- ly dial "0" and ask the operator to get the number. It's also a good idea to check the front pages of the phone book ahead of time for discount rates and the times when they apply.

Requests Unreasonable By Josie Newman A fact -finder appointed by the Durham Board of Education in November as a last-ditch attempt to set- tle the 1985 wage contract for Durham teachers comes down hard on the teaching profession for its many contract demands, including a 'highly unreasonable' re- quest for a 7.5 per cent salary increase. The report, released at a press conference in the Board's headquarters last week, says that the teachers' requests - which include demands for in- creases to many benefits and securities such as educational conference allowances and dental plans - are "unreasonable considering the state of current economic condi- tions in Canada." It urged teachers to withold their demands on benefits until the wage dispute is settled. Normal- ly a school board's wage hikes for the following year are determined in September. but if wages can't be settled to the satisfaction of both sides, a "fact -finder" or commis- sion is called in. Fact -finders are usually composed of one person and are appointed by the provincial Education Rela- tions Committee on the basis of past experience. 41ne fact -finder talks to both the board and teachers extensively before it files its report. The Durham board's fact -finder is comprised of -Dr. Harold E. Jakes, associate professor at the University of Ottawa and a former teadner and trustee in the Carleton Board near Ottawa. He has conducted 12 similar fact -finders since 1975. Jim Breckenridge, spokesman for the Educa- tion Relations Committee, said that an amicable agreement will probably be readied after both sides see the fact -finder. 'These kinds of impasses usually are resolved after a period of debating. Strikes are unusual."

Jan. 2, 1985 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Boxing Day? We have many idiotic laws on the books from our provin- cial Conservative government, but one of the worst is the one which bans shops from being open on Boxing Day! Why we ban store opening on this day, which is not a statutory holiday under federal law and therefore, not one of the official days off, escapes us. The original day - Boxing Day - came from England where it was a day when homeowners gave boxes to the postmen who had worked hard all year delivering mail. The day still keeps its name and has become a holiday under many union collective agreements but today our postal workers get very hand- somely paid by our government and therefore do not need "boxes" for their work. We Canadian citizens also paid a nearly $300 million deficit in taxes to keep the same post of- fice going - not a bad "box". Boxing Day's main tradition in these parts was that it was the day stores opened up and sold their surplus pro- ducts at big reductions and thus ended the year with stocks depleted. It was good for business and buyers loved it. So why did we change it". Now we have Boxing Day Specials in the stores on the day after Boxing Day. We fully expect that the Davis govern- ment (or its successor) will declare the day after Boxing Day not to be a sale day and so Boxing Day night eventual- ly carry on right until New Year's Day (which is a statutory holiday) and we will have a full set of days off for workers during the week. Of course, the fact that we leave small and large businesses with no way of selling their goods is of no consequence to government - but there will be more unemployment to solve. Our New Year's resolution is to government - "Would you please begin acting sensible and stop handicapping small business". Home Sales Climb :Moving in the opposite direction to interest rate, pur- chases of existing ( resale ) homes in November forged more than 10 percent ahead of the same month in 1983 in metropolitan areas, according to a survey by the Canadian Real Estate Association i CREA). "The lowering of interest rates and the innovative repay- ment plans introduced by mortgage lenders are making paying off mortgages more attractive and more flexible." commented President Logan Tait. Purchases in the survey were those processed through the Multiple Listing Service MLS ). a cooperative service used by most real estate boards in Canada. The interest rate for a five-year term mortgage dropped to 13.25 percent in November and cur- rently stands at 13 percent. Shorter tem mortgages are available at still lower interest rates. Find Out In 1985 Dear Editor. It is the time of year when people of the world turn to re- joicing and remembering the day of Christmas. Once again. the holiday season has corse and many will celebrate in a variety of ways with friends and family. The opportunities for peace and goodwill abound and yet the potential of true happiness and jay is never fully realiz- ed. Gifts will be given that will bring joy and happiness to many. Yet words cannot express the sadness of others who must do without. This is the case of many elderly, poor. and handicapped who feel sad and lonely af this time of year. What are we doing with our material blessings' Canmer- cialism with its blinding influence has let us down and the pleasures of materialism produce no lasting joy. Are we trying to adorn our hearts with love and peace as did the Lord Jesus' Have we decided only to decorate our homes and trees because we can't be bothered to improve what is within us' What. after all, was the real reason for Christ's birth near- ly 2,000 years ago? It was to provide a Saviour to a perishing world. Never has there been a more important time to learn about God! May it be suggested that the best and most enduring gift that can be given is a copy of the Bi- ble' Family members and close friends should be en- couraged to read it carefully in the coming year. It could be that the greatest of all expectations and hopes is realized in 1985 - the return of Christ. Make 1985 the year to find out why we are here, where we are going, and what God really expects of those who live as part of His creation. P.

That was the awesome message from Sister Sylvia McDonald when she spoke recently to the "We Care" Con- ference on Retirement Planning sponsored by the Senior Service of the Volunteer Centre of Metro Toronto. An expert an retirement. Sister McDonald, Co-ordinator, Retirement Centre of Mananopohs College in Montreal, is author of "Trust In God But Tie Your Cannel" and was the first chairman of the federal government's National Ad- visory Council on Aging. Pomtitng out that she is now in her third career. Sister McDonald quoted from nnanerous experts. ranging from Patrick Watson to Gail Sheehy to Dostoevski, to show the importance of planning for retirement - a retirement that may last a long time with current projections of a life ex- pectancy of up to 125 years. Advantages of retirement inchatde the p nvikges of wasting time, enjoyment of one's eccentricities. the opening of new doors and the freedom to make choices. Planning should begin at least 10 years before retirement, she advised. TTC Sets New Ridership Records The people of Metropolitan Toronto are riding the TTC more than ever, and more than any transit system in North America except New York City. TTC ridership exceeded 1.5 million on four consecutive Fridays, two in November and two in December, a TTC first. A new single -day record was set Fri. Nov. 30, when 1.55 million took 'The Better Way', breaking the previous Poetry Corner Winter The orbs unfiltered rays burn bright in cerulean sky Maple, ash and lofty oak in denuded splendour point their fingers to the stars Bears, full fleshed formed, in caves secure sleep on in compulsive hibernation rest Snowflakes in helter skelter dance on wings of wind descend to shroud the land in blanket soft The cold establishes its mark at zero or below and man whose breath hangs heavy on the air expresses fervent wish for warmth that comes with spring. Skaters, on slim blades tempered true, gyrate in motion pure and leave their scar on surface silken smooth Children from school do run their antics to perform in never-ending patterns that mar the virgin snow Lone skiers pause briefly on white capped summit tops before essaying death defying runs Golden eagles, in search of prey, majestic wings wide spread, soar effortlessly on high The icy air is hushed and still vet earth's great heart from inner molten core assails the ear with the vibrant rythmic tones.

Local Government Representation: Who's Involved In 1985, the people of Ontario will elect over 5,000 represen- tatives to serve in more than Boo municipal governments across the province. By comparison, Ontario sends % peo- ple to the federal Nouse of Commons and 125 to Queen's Park, the provincial legislature. Local representatives take their places on municipal coun- cils, school boards, and electricity and public utility com- missions. They will be involved in local government spen- ding, which in Ontario accounts for more than $14 billion in total. Your representatives are directly responsible for oversee- ing local budgeting, policy-making, and long-term plann- ing. Those functions are reflected in the services you see every day. Local representatives in Ontario are elected for a three- year term. The municipal council has a mayor or reeve to serve as the head of council. Aldermen and deputy reeves, controllers and councillors, are elected to complete the local council. School teachers are elected by public and separate school electors. Commissioners for those municipalities with these utility services are also elected at the same time as the councillors and trustees. In Ontario's smaller communities, the members of council are typically elected at -large across the municipality. In the larger municipal areas, these representatives are usually elected on a ward basis. Wards are electoral areas within the municipality, which have been established by geographic or population standards. School trustees are usually elected on a ward basis as well, since most school boards cover whole counties (or several counties) and large cities. Utilities commissioners are generally elected at -large. Your representatives have a multiplicity of duties and functions and their responsibilities include sitting on numerous boards and commissions, such as the board of health, the police commission or the conservation authori- ty. In most of Ontario, where upper-level government ex- ists. certain council members will represent their local municipality on the county council or regional council. A regional council (like Durham and Metro) is essentially a federation of the local municipalities within its boun- daries. The regional or upper -tier government generally provides area -wide services. such as major roads and public transit, social services, police and water and sewer services. To complement regional services, the local council is responsible for many of the day -today functions such as fire protection, garbage collection. maintenance of local streets and sidewalks. and provision of parks and recrea- tion services. Although local government appears too complex, there are many opportunities for interested individuals to get in- volved. For example, anyone wbo is eligible to vote in a municipal election is eligible to run for office. There are also numerous local appointments and volunteer positions available. Local Government Week, to be held from Jan. 14-19, 1985, will provide a good chance to find out how to participate in the local government process. record of 1.53 million set Nov. 18, 1983. The first week of December witnessed a new one-week record set when 8,816,000 rode the system breaking the previous mark of 8,772,000 set the week before. Total ridership on the TTC for 1964 is anticipated to be ap- proximately 418 million, a new record and an increase of about 13 million (3%) over last year's 405.7 million. Ever+ man, woman and child in Metro Toronto chase 'The Better Way' the equivalent of 197 times in 1984, making the TTC one of the most popular transit systems in North America. ccMMUN\�v DIARY] WED.

Jan. 2, 1965 Bill Watt's Worlds RAMBLINGS: The time between New Year's and Easter must surely be the longest period of the year. The excitement of the yuletide is past and we face a long dark winter until Spring bursts forth triumphantly again. Still, one can't wish one's life away waiting. So what to do? Well, it's not new but we suggest make the best of it and try to enjoy this bleak period as much as possible. How about a movie? We still like movies but the reason we don't go to them more often is that we no longer like movie houses and the people you usually see and mostly - hear there. There is one theatre. however, that we enjoy because it's well run and the motion pictures there are shown at their absolute best. We mean Cinesphere at Ontario Place. It has Toronto's largest screen 10'x70' image,. the MATTRESS PROBLEMS • RETURNED LIKE NEW • EXPERTLY REPAIRED MEDIUM FIRM OR EXTRA FIRM 2 -DAY SERVICE ONTARIO BEDDING COMPANY 283.2127 steep rake of the floor en- sures an unobstructed view of the screen, the dome houses 16 speaker clusters virtually surrounding the audience with Dolby stereo sound and .. audience con- trol is ever so polite but ever so firm. We have never encountered any rudeness or ill manners. This season's line up of at- tractions is another smashing one and includes the two Indiana Jones movies, Purple Rain (in a 35mm blow up), Pink Floyd, Flashdance and Star Trek III: The Search For Spock. There are a few extras as well. At every show there will be a winner of a free ride pass for the new Wilderness Flume Ride scheduled to open at On- tario Place in July '85. Also all patrons have the opportunity to win an '85 Ford Topaz GS. There's free parking and reserved seating through Bass. The snack bar at the lounge level is all new and expanded and. best of all. the Trillium Restaurant is open for light snacks and refreshments Wednesdav through Friday from 5 p.m. and on Weekends from noon. It seems to us that going to Cinesphere makes going to movies fun again. Why not try it and see if you agree. While on the subject of movies, it's pleasant to pass along some good news from the current Disney newsletter. Roy E.

Mr. Disney who is vice Chairman of Walt Disney Productions has assumed a more active role in the company and is returning to Burbank primarily to provide overall guidance and direc- tion to an expanding Animation Department. He brings talent, ex- perience and tradition back to a critically important part of the company that was co-founded by his father, Roy O. Disney and, of course, his uncle, Walt Disney. The animated features out of the Disney studios have suffered from a certain je ne sais quoi of late and Mr. Disney would seem to be the man to make or take what ever corrective measures are necessary. We look for good things out of this recent move. Still rambling, may we draw your attention to a lit- tle heralded television show on Channel 5. It's titl- ed The Kids of DeGrassi Street and is well worth your attention. It takes place in a few downtown blocks of Toronto and the children in it are not pro- fessional actors though you wouldn't know it. Don't let the fact that it features children make you think it's a kid's show. Far from it; it's a show for everyone that just happens to feature kids. The Kids of DeGrassi is produced by Playing With Time Inc. and we con- gratulate then on a fine product - Of course when everything else fails to lift the winter blahs, books, as always. curve nobly to the rescue. Here are a few for your consideration. IN PRINT: Every so often a book comes along that, like a fungi new restaurant. one is almost reluctant to share. That's why we're so late with our review of Inside Music - How To Unders- tand Listen To and Enjoy Good Music by Karl Haas ( Doubleday) . It would be specious to suggest that it is the definitive work on the sub- ject of music and certainly, its author would be the fust to demure. We insist though, that it is the finest introduction to music that we have ever encountered and if there is a better such book anywhere, we should be greatly obliged to anyone who can suggest it and .. prove it. In prose and style that is literate but never con- descending Mr. Haas in- troduces the reader to and explains more than we can place in a well constructed sentence. You'll learn music's main ingredients ( rhythm, melody, har- mony, tonal colour and form) ; the instruments and their principal use; the evolution and form of the Attention ... Advertisers and Readers! Due to the coming Christmas Day and New Year's Day holidays failing on Tuesdays this year, the following schedule is necessary. ISSUE DATE DEADLINE FOR ADS AND NEWS COPY Wed. Jan. 9th Normal - Mon. Jan 7th 5:00 P.M. Showcase Of Dancing There will be some very good ballroom dancing at the Hilton Harbour Castle Convention Centre on Sat. Jan. 5th at 7 p.m. "Showcase of Dancing" will be the theme as the Canadian Amateur Ballroom Dancers' Association holds this big event with many dancers displaying their techniques and highlighting a top cou- ple from Ontario and Quebec in competition. Tickets are $5 per person and the audience gets to participate in dancing as well. For information and tickets call 821-7655. Part of the proceeds of the showcase will go to the Hospital for Sick Children. orchestra; the art and science of conducting; the categories of music and ever so much more. Most important however, is that you'll learn all this with great pleasure. The book is. of course, a most important and lasting reference work but it is also one that is just a delight to read. Our only possible criticism is a picayune one that we mention only to prove how compelling is this splendid work; how one reads and enjoys every word. We still inefe the words flautist and concerti rather than flutist and con- certos. We apologize for the delay in the presentation of our review but can assure one and all that this book will be around for a long time. We cannot imagine anything supplanting it as a virfeW standard of reference. Here's another reference wet that is also enjoyable and, we must admit grudg- ingly, useful. A Computer Dictionary For Kids and Other Beginners is, we sug- gest, of more benefit to the latter than to the forme'. Computers frighten us at our time of life but they are an inescapable part of our daily existence and we might as well accept them, they're not going away. The fust step in acceptance is understanding and this delightful soft cover serves well in helping to unders- tand at least the ter- minology employed. No longer need we puzzle over the difference bet- ween a glitch and a kludge. At last we know the mean- ings of LCD and LED, line feed and line printer, MOS and mouse and much, much more. In fact we stand in danger of becom- ing almost as Innsufferable as most computer techni- cians with our new found knowledge. Quite seriously though. this is an excellent work that now occupies a space on the reference shelf of our combined study and of- fice. A Computer Dic- tionary is published by Ballantine under standard number ISBN: 345-31693-2. Still another interesting reference and update is The Science Almanac, 1984:'85 edition ( Double- day) . The title pretty well sums up the contents and we suggest that the voltune serves well, for those whose disciplines are highly specialized, as a vehicle to enhance the broad spectrum of the past year's developments in science. The descriptive cover describes the almanac as fascinating trivia for Stephen Miller of SCart-r-ugr. Hamilton will be dancing, i�Un Annerit•an st,.ie in the Showcase of Dancing at the Canadian amateur Ballroom Dancers' Associations event on Sat. Jan. 5th. at the Hilton Harbour Castle Convention Centre. browsing. Well, fascinating it is but we wouldn't describe it as being filled with trivia which we believe to be a word stan- ding in danger of being overused. There's nothing in this book that's trivial. While we cannot imagine anyone ever becoming bored with books, one sup- poses it's possible par- ticularly during winter blahs time. So, why not consider some music. . ON RECORD. You probably don't want anything too heavy but cer- tainly there should be substance in your listening. Try some of the excellent Concord Jazz recordings. George Shearing with Don Thompson Live at the Cafe Carlyle might well be described as essence of jazz piano. Don Thompson not only gives his always superb accompaniment on bass but also sits in on piano and almost gives the master a run for honours in the difficult discipline of touch. Our vote for the best cut is Tell Me A Bedtime Story. We're not usually fond of Herbie Hancock's composi- tions but George Shearing makes thea sound even better than can Mr. Han- cock. Or, at least, he can bused on this one cut. EI Rey by Tito Puente and his Latin Ensemble was I ecorded live in San Fran- cisco. As a matter of per- sonal preference we like Tito Puente in studio but this is a fine recording withal Wait till y what the ensemble . with Eddie Heywood's Rainfall! Great stuff. ON STAGE Probably the greatest blues chaser of all is a good play. Cyrano deBegerac is the current attraction at the Royal Alec. Our full review follows shortly but it probably isn't needed. Cyrano is one of the world's best plays and this Strat- ford production serves it well. FAST EXIT: Another short column friends but we're suffering the mid -winter blabs too.

Jan. 2, 1985 Soothing Drinks For Winter ills Although tea was once thought to have many medicinal properties, curing everything from infant ills to headaches, today tea is enjoyed for what it is, a satisfying and relaxing beverage. Nothing soothes or com- forts a cold or sore throat like hot lemon tea. Just add a few teaspoons of lemon and honey and sip the goodness of tea with the zip "loop FOOD MARKET Hwy. 2 Rouge Hills just east of Rouge Bridge r,. n 0 n IJ of lemon. Curl up in a big cozy chair .as the cold wind blows out- side and enjoy a cup of tea, as is, flavored with ginger or anise, or one of the flavored drinks suggested. Or try a beef consomme -chock full of winter vegetables, it will make you forget the usual chicken soup. Ginger Tea Ginger tea was once prescribed as a cure for a cold. Although no longer a common belief, it is a good tonic for a sore throat. It burns a little on the way down, but it's very comfor- ting. 1 tea bag 4 thin slices ginger root 1 cup (250 mL) boiling water Pour boiling water over tea bag and 2 slices of ginger in a heated teapot.

You still have time to appeal your 1984 assessment if you feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax you pay depends on it, in that the assessed value of your property is multiplied by your municipal and school mill rate to determine your 1985 property taxes. Notices of Assessment have been mailed to property owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open houses have been held in your area to answer questions and amend assessment information if necessary. Open house dates and locations were announced in a previous advertisement. The Assessment Roll has now been delivered to your municipal- ity for the purposes of calculating the amount of taxes you must pay on your property in 1985. For information on your assess- ment, the Assessment Roll is now available for review at your Municipal Office during regular business hours. If you feel your property has been improperly assessed, and you have not yet made your appeal known, you still have until January 8, 1985 to deliver or mail an appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Assessment, you still have the right to appeal. Appeal deadline—January 8, 1985 The Assessment Review Board is an impartial body reporting to the Attorney General of Ontario, which provides you with an additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with similar properties in your area. The Review Board is more informal and relaxed than a regular court of law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer or ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent. To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms are available from the Assessment Review Board, your Regional Assessment Office or your Municipal Office. As well, you can use the reverse side of a Notice of Assessment or write a letter stating the property address and roll number, together with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Reg- istrar of the Assessment Review Board listed below.

VIEWPOINTS 1985 by Ralph Bradley The decision by the Town of Pickering Council to defeat the request of the blind in Pickering for free transit seems to this observer to be an unfortunate one. The money being talked about is small, and offering this service free to approxi-nately 40 people in Pickering would not be a great strain on our resources, nor would it create a significant precedent which others could use in the future. I believe that it would be helpful for council to reverse its decision since in this case we are dealing directly with peo- pie. It is a service which only the council can offer. There is no altemaative to which the blind can appeal. It is not in the category of the United Way where vokmteers with grants from the community make such a difference. The blind generally are people who live on very diminish- ed incomes and who have to scrimp to get by. Many others have to do that. of corse, but the blind have that one serious handicap that is so debilitating to normal living. the eine thing with which most of us do not have to contend. On the other hand, it would be unwise, in my view. for the blind to demonstrate any collective anger over the issue. Quiet (hpletmacy in the new year would do the trick. Win over the reluctant councillors with reason and the merits of the case, and get the supporting councillors to work on the others on your behalf. ` Speaking To You Scott Fennell M.P. Ontario Riding The Auditor General recatdy released to the House of Cotnnorts his Anrwal Report for the fiscal year aided March 31. 1964. This Report, the culmination of his review of the Federal Government's financial statements, is of great importance to the Standing Committee on Public Ac- counts. Over the next year, the Committee will be looking into the various matters which the Auditor General con- sidered significant enough to merit the attention of Parlia- ment. The Report highlights follow. The Department of Public Works lacks a sense of accoun- tability for the full cost of holding and using reel property. In total, Public Worts has wasted in the area of $240 million. A number of leasing transactions involved an tm- necessary $63 million. $96 million arose from choosing to finance four projects through lease -purchase agreements with developers rather than making Crown financed ac- quisitions. The Department's mismanagernent of space in office buildings adds another $40.59 million, and despite repeated promises to call tenders only 6 percent of its lease agreements were put up for competitive bids in 1963. The Department of National Defence also requires im- mediate attention. The new CF -18 jets may end up costing the Government $3.5 billion more than planned. This is par- tially a result of original cost estimates being based on ex- tensive sales to other countries; these sales have not materialized so the total costs are spread over fewer jets. A self locking bolt which was supposed to cost art is now scheduled to cost $140.43 and an antenna assembly which was supposed to cost $9 will end up costing closer to $2,077 to produce. Other costs such as those required to properly equip the jets were originally omitted. It was estimated that the government's poor banking prac- tices cost approximately $95 million per year, and that the ove•classification of one in five public service jobs costs more than $125 million a year. On a more positive note, the Auditor General will no longer experience a problem in obtaining the information he re- quires to perform his auditing duty since this Govenment has resolved to provide him with all information other than traditional cabinet documents. The Auditor General's Report has provided a wealth of in- formation concerning areas in which immediate attention can yield immediate payoff in terms of reducing the deficit. Rest assured that this Government will be taking ap- propriate action in the days ahead.
