These Days
Busy For
Telephones
Christmas Day is the
busiest day of the year for
long distance calling. 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

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.

Teachers' �.
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."

Page 2 THE NEWSIPOST Wed. 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.

You May Live To 125!
You may live to be 125 years old!
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

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

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.

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

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

has returned to the Bur-
bank studio. 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!

holidays failing on Tuesdays this year, the following
schedule is necessary.

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.

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.

cisco. As a matter of per-
sonal preference we like
Tito Puente in studio but

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.

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

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. Steep 5
minutes. Strain into a cup
and add remaining ginger.
Serve with honey. Makes I

WANT TO APPEAL
YOUR ASSESSMENT?
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

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.

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.
