July 6. 197s opinion a page for expression for you and us why? Another increase in gasoline is on its way and once again we ask why? Canada is a country struggling to produce competitive products in the world markets and is constantly hampering this critical export effort through government interference in the market place. The latest abuse is the drive to get our domestic oil price up to the world one. Is there any real reason why we should pay world prices inside Canada? Sure, charge world prices for our exports but let's take a tip from Venezuela and keep home prices low. This will hold down transportation casts which affect our product prices considerably. The Ontario government is protesting this constant in- crease, but Alberta and Ottawa are wallowing in juicy millions gained through these price increases. We should have an emergency force getting Eastern Canada on to the Canadian oil pipeline and incoming oil cut to the minimum. As Ontario Energy Minister Reuben Baetz said an Jun 2Dth: "It seems very strange to me that the Federal Minister would in early May of this year, urge the OPEC nations to maintain a freeze on world prices because the Western economies were just recovering from the sharp increases of 1973, and then to turn around and one month later impose such an increase (3.5t per gallon) on Canadian con- sumers... With al explorations really booming in 1977 and with a very soft economy and too high inflation, the sensible thing to do would be to cease increasing domestic oil prices. But common sense in government canes very slowly, ap- parently. No Discipline Dear Sir: Earlier this week we discussed the problem of un- disciplined children running at large on residential streets and, mare specifically. to these same children playing games (tennis, baseball. hockey, frisbee, and other) right on the street itself, and presenting a danger to motorists and themselves. The origins of this increasing city danger appears to stem from the indifference of paresis to hazards that are obvious and also to the violation of a borough bylaw. While the police are attempting to do what they can, they are hampered by the feeblerhess of enforcing the bylaw. My Question to this explanation is Why was the bylaw made in such a way as to render it feeble?. If a child were killed in a traffic accident and while engaged in any one of the above activities. it is quite obvious that the person behind the wheel of the car would be found at fault. Yet, the child (or person), should not have been playing on the street in the first place. It is my contention that we are allowing a form of per- missiveness, which will continue beyond childhood and into adulthood. When and if pressure is exerted at this time, it will have been the fault of our society for having condoned the break ing of the law when the person was a child. And furthermore. having violated one law, would they not fed that there were other laws which could be disregarded' To attempt to reason with a child who, through his parents believes he is not doing any wrong by playing games in the street, would be like telling a devout person there is no God. It would not register. It is time the city fathers and politicians took a good took at the situation - causes and effect, and tried to come to grips with the problem in a conclusive way. The streets were designed to convey traffic, not to serve as playgrounds. A Concerned Citizen of Scarborough. Bob's Notes CREDIT DUE There is always more criticism than praise on our opinion page, so here is some praise to correct the balance. We would like to give a big hand of applause to SCOPE (Scarborough Committee for Organizing Parades and Entertainment), the volunteer group which handles things such as Scarborough's big Canada Day Parade. As usual. the organization was good and everything seemed to go great. The only disappointment with the parade was that a number of majorette groups were absent at a competition in Winnipeg and less people than usual were on the streets watching the many groups go by. Success in numbers is usually complicated by what day July 1st. falls on and whether summer cottages have lured many out of town that day.

But do we? "Action', a quarterly publication of the Canadian International Development Agency, is a tabloid style newspaper printed on highly expensive paper ( a typical government program - use the most expensive paper possible) and pocked full of opinion which many Canadians might find objectionable. On the trout page is an article by a Dennis Schroeder which criticizes Canadian news media for its lack of coverage of global poverty. Mr. Schroeder also complains of lack of coverage of "third world countries". regimes of South Africa, Namibia and Rhodesia (Zim- be bwe) and their liberation movements assisting refugees in the neighboring 'frontline" states of Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Angola and Tanzania, it supports the visits of leaders of the ltoeration movements to Canada to tell their story And the story by Dave Beer continues: The Toronto committee is one of a dozen "support groups" in as many cities across Canada. raising the political issues involved in the continuing crisis in the area, publishing information on the struggle for human rights, self- determirstion. and the military struggle being carried out to win freedom." Well, anyone who has visited the United Kingdom for a m cath or so will also find that no Canadian new ever gets That is very direct. To put it into perspective, just into British media either.

The problem is most noticeable in recent developments such as Malvern he added. "In Malvern the owner of a house worth much less than $100,000 is paying much more than the owner of an older house worth $100,000." A passible solution to the problem, said DeKort, would be to reduce property taxes in newer houses to what they would have been in 1972 when older houses were "frozen". "This would reduce taxes on new homes by roughly $200 per unit per year," DeKort said. DIN00 QN USE TAVERN CANADIAN AND GREEK CUISINE Eglinton •• Ave. E.

The committee also had copies of a letter sent by Hillside community resident Lois James requesting deferrment of any decision until further study is undertaken. Brown, however, told the committee that the purpose of the realignment stems from a concern for the environment. "From a purely tran- sportation point of view it would be better to go straight through rather than having the diver- sion," Brown said. He added there is a "substantial reduction" in environmental damage with the proposed re- alignment to the north of the Metro Zoo.

The temporary route was slated to end before Sep- tember on the completion of the Birchmount Rd. overpass currently under construction, with normal bus service to resume on Birchmount. But in the meantime, according to Earlton Rd. resident Mrs. Abigail Whitehurst, the re-routing to Sheppard Ave. will mean inconvenience for many in the area who use public transportation. "The re-routing will add a total of half an hour to someone's round trip in tush hour," she told the committee. "In addition it will make it harder for senior citizens and mothers with children to get to the bus." Mrs. Whitehurst said that Michael, a young crippled boy she knows. will not be able to go to school this fall if the bus is on Sheppard Ave. because of the distance to walk. "It's a plain in- convenience for 250 of as," she concluded. Scarden Ave. resident Cal Steacy told the committee that "there have been no traffic mishaps involving children" while the Scarden bus has been operating. "The T.T.C. is to be commended an the cour- tesy and safety of the drivers. We see the tem- porary route on Scarden as a short-4erm event to make a better community," Steacy said. Mrs. Claire Green and Mrs. Anne Ross of Scarden Ave., who have appeared several times in protest of the bus route on their street, emphasized to the committee that Scarden residents should not be blamed for any in- convenience. "The grade separation is the cause," said Mrs. Green. She said that Scarden Ave. residents "deliberately refrained" from naming another residential street as an alternate route. "We place danger to residents and children on a higher priority than our personal convenience," she said. "We're not asking anyone else in the area to do anything we wouldn't do ourselves.,, Alderman John Wimbs rallied for the bus to remain on Scarden Ave. Until the completion of the overpass. The drivers are highly - trained with an accident rate second to none," he said "Anyone backing from their driveway and not seeing a T.T.C. bus shouldn't be on the road," he added. He called for common sense as an alternative to emotion for "this tem- porary measure," a suggestion backed by Alderman Ron Watson. However, both were op. posed by Alderman Carol Ruddell, Joe DeKort, and Mayor Paul Cosgrove on the basis of safety to residents and expedally children out of school. "U's really a matter of common sense to keep buses on main streets, not residential streets," said Mrs. Ruddell. Mayor Cosgrove said he "would be reluctant" to have someone complain that the "temporary in- convenience" caused a child injury. "I opt for safety." he said.

Your guide to M Con Is, You k,,, CANDO In 1975, St. Louis encephalitis spread by certain mosquitoes was reported in Ontario for the first time. There were about 70 human cases, mostly in Southwestern Ontario. During the 1976 and 1977 mosquito seasons a combination of factors—including public aware- ness and care, and municipal mosquito control programs—reduced the number of cases to four in 1976 and to none in 1977. We will be prepared again this summer. Since a recurrence of the encephalitis virus is difficult to predict it is necessary that scientific surveillance and mosquito control programs be continued during the summer of 1978. There is no known treatment for the disease so prevention is essential. Symptoms of encephalitis include drowsiness, loss of appetite, fever, head- ache, nausea and vomiting. It must be emphasized that most mosquito bites this summer will be simply a nuisance. However, should symptoms occur, you should consult your physician.

Some recordings on loan from the Scar- borough Public Library are being returned in poor shape - They look as if they had been to the hairdresser for the la test wa ve set - in- stead they've just been left in the aur for ten minutes. Wavy edges and melted grooves can result for instance, from thoughtless exposure on the back window of a hot car. Here's some advice from your library an the use and abuse of recordings.

ANDERSON S. TAYLOR A.M.C.T. (A) Mayor Town Clerk Town of Pickering Town of Pickering HUMAN BRAIN AFFECTED BY SHORTAGES OF NUTRIENTS, EXPERT SAYS — The brain doesn't always stand first in line for nutri- ents it needs from the body, an authority from the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Tech- nology said today. Dr. Richard J. Wurtman told the Kellogg Nutrition Symposium that he and asso- ciates found "normal varia- tions" in nutrient intake affect the brain. Speaking to doctors, educa- tors and experts in the field of nutrition gathered for the sym- posium sponsored by Kellogg Salada Canada Ltd, Dr. Wurt- man pointed out the brain is not invulnerable. He said it has long been known that pro- longed malnutrition can cause important changes in the com- position of the brain and in behaviour. 'But there is evidence that variations, specifically in the amounts of protein or lecithin, in a single meal cause predic- table changes in the amounts of two important chemicals in the nerves of the brain. He said the chemicals called "neurotransmitters", are used by the brain cells to carry sig- nals to other cells. They con- stitute the 'language' of the brain. Diet is important, Dr. Wurt- man said, since brain tissues That summer -great lawn may be harboring hairy chi nc h bugs, so homeowners should pian their control campaign now. Dr. M. K. Sears, an On- tario Agricultural College entomologist. has received funds from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food to do research on these pests. He says they batch from eggs laid in late April or early May. In hot weather, the rust - colored, white -striped bugs feed on the crown and succulent stems of turf, bentgrass being a favorite. Chinch bug damage is usually noticed in early to mid-July, when dry sunken patches of grass appear. The homeowner may think the bugs are spreading in the lawn, but the blotches indicate the areas in which the females laid their eggs after leaving winter hibernation sites in nearby hedges, To check the lawn for chinch bug infestation, Dr. Sears suggests cutting out the bottom of a gallon -sized can and forcing the sharp edges in the soil. Then fill the can with water. Stirring the contents forces the red - colored nymphs to float to the surface where they can be seen easily. "If this is done 10 times in the front and back yards in suspected areas or on the edge of dead patches and any bugs are found, there _ shard J. Wurtman alone cannot produce the in- gredients needed to create the neurotransmitters. He said the diet -induced changes "have important phys- iological effects on such brain functions as sleep, food con- sumption, pain sensitivity and hormone secretion". Dr. Wurtman called the findings extraordinary. "Until we did this work, everybody, myself included, would have told you that the brain regu- lates its own business — that 'the brain is so important that it gets whatever it needs from the circulation. "So the brain, by virtue of its exalted position, has been thought to be immune to what- ever was taking place in the rest of the body," he said. Scientists assumed the brain got first pick of the body's nu- trients because it was true for glucose, oxygen and heat. But Dr. Wurtman said the hour -by -hour dependence of the brain on the level of nutri- ents in the blood is a "very r at" exception. 1 he doctor said he could not Hhy nature had allowed ",mcthing as important as the `,rain to be vulnerable to nu- trient blood levels. He guested :hat it might allow the neurons "sense" the effects of an ..,balanced diet. i-wever. physicians and sci- :•t, can take advantage of phenomenon in many t,. Dr. Wurtman said. A previously untreatable neurological disease has been treated by using lecithin for its effects on the nerves, and it will probably have nuaherous other medical uses as well, be said. Raid Chinch Bugs In July are probably a wtgh to justify treating the lawn. It is cheaper to treat the lawn than to let ch=hch bugs ruin the grass. Laying sod or reseeding is expensive." One chemical treatment In the first three weeks of July has proven effective because the total population is present by that time. Early treatment misses the bugs because they may invade from untreated areas, or hatch from eggs unaffected by the insecticide. Diazinon, chlorphrifos and carbaryl are recom- mended at the rates specified by the manufacturer. Dr. Sears advises sprinkling the lawn for an hour after application of the insecticide to help penetration. This floods the chinch bugs ftnrn their protective cover so they contact the chemical. Hairy chinch bugs have been a nuisance in Ontario metropolitan areas since 1911. Some homeowners have been plagued yearly, but research has not The streets are for the people.

Over the years I also saw some of the greats of Burlesque .... Georgia Sothern, Ann Corio, Rose LaRose and even, Cup- cakes Cassidy.

Oh, she didn't come back to life, of course, but she might well have in the person of a delightful young lady who bills herself as Nana. She ap- pears in the title role of Gypsy, a musical fable that tells, more or less, her story. When she appears as the adult Gypsy in the final scenes, she IS Gyp- sy...striking. glamourous and exciting. Gypsy and her sister, who performed in motion pictures under the name of June Havoc, were the entertainment products of their mother...a bitch of a woman consumed with the desire to see her girls among the show business greats and to bask in their reflected glory. The part is played by Angela Lan- sbury. And, how she plays it! She sings; she dances; she cavorts and virtually does everything but chew the scenerv. . One is left loving the performer and hating her role but rewarding both with an opening night standing ovation.

Although we are short of paddlers in all age categories and had few entries, some of our members made their presence felt in the events entered. The Midget K1 (single Kayak) with Tony Bunce as the "spider paddler" Fame in fourth in a pack of seven. Richard Helyar came in 3rd in Midget Cl (singgle canoe) and was up with fie leaders in a group of six entries. Our Junior C4 (4 man canoe) with Mark Butler, Steve Barton, Lex Clark and Richard Helyar showed a promise of big things to come by placing 3rd out of six entries against such heavies as Dean and Scott Oldershaw, Adrian Tailor and Jim Reardon and other Mississauga and Toronto Island greats. The ladies in Midget K2 (Kayak doubles) with Sheri Bunce and Marisha Roman did their best and finished the race as good sports should. The girls are 13 and 11 years old and it took couragge and � sport- smanship to paddie against the 15 and 16 year old amazons who were their competition. Lil Guidette and Elaine Marshall were makuhg a good showing in the Ladies Juniar K2 but decided to take their Saturday night bath 12 hours early and dunked 100 meters from the finish line.

Pape 12 THE POST Thurs. July 6, 1978 Oueen's Park THE PROPERTY TAX As promised in my March Newsletter, this is the fust of a series of seven articles on property tax reform in the Province of Ontario. Even though reform measures have now been postponed indefinitely, I believe it is still ap- propriate that I provide my constituents with an ex- planation of this complex issue. The general concensus of all parties in the Ontario Legislature, as well as representatives from local govern - merit is that if local needs are to be financed through the ' property tax, then the present system needs reform. Perhaps the most recognized features of the property tax are that it is certain and it is unpopular. Also, it is at present the only major direct tax source available to On- tario's local governments. If such governments are to remain strong, they must be able to produce the necessary dollars to meet the demands of their individual com- munities, because without financial responsibility there is no authority. And itis very important that the municipality does remain a strong level of government, because the municipalcouncil is the most easily accessible place where citizens can approach an elected body directly to present a point of view or request a service. If activities and incomes were the same everywhere in the Province. and if all residents had the same tastes and �p OF p� PUBLIC NOTICE The Pickering Museum in anticipation of its move from Brougham to Greenwood would like to hear from all persons who have items on loan to the Museum.

Durham West preferences, there might not be a need for local govern- ments. But the people across Ontario do want different things for their communitites, and the property tax is a means of providing local governments with the necessary money to meet the unique demands of the local residents. Over the years, there has been a greatdeal of debate about the best means of raising money to finance local govern- ment needs, for example through an income tax, a wealth tax or a sales tax. All of the various theories do have merit, but they also have flaws. I would like to briefly highlight only the flaws of the tree mentioned examples at this point. Income Tax: Use of the income tax to offset, or eliminate, the property tax in the financing of local government expenditure may initially sound good but there are several difficulties with this method. First of all, it could not be administered locally because of the 600 plus municipalities in Ontario, some 500 have populations of less than 2,000. These small communities could not afford to hire staff with sufficient competence to administer the complex system. To collectsuch taxes in conjunction with the federal income bet would tremendously increase the federal bureaucracy. The result would be that more of the actual tax dollars presently collected trough the property tax would be used for the mechanics of collecting and distributing taxes. Thus fewer of the same dollars would be available for providing the necessary local services. As well, many property owners in Ontario do not live or work in the community where they own property. Should the tax relate to where Put Houseplants Outdoors For The Summer.? Summer is finally here. Before you decide to put your houseplants outdoors, carefully consider their individual needs. Theo Blom, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food extension bor- ticulturist, says putting some houseplants outdoors may do them more harm than good. "One of the major factors to consider is suriscorch. If you decide to put plants outdoors, dont place them in full all<* sun, even if they have been kept in sunny windows indoors. The leaves to the directsunlight, or the drying effect of the wind. - Mr. Biam suggests setting even sun -laving plants in partial shade, protected from the wind.

Some of the foliage plants should be kept in a shady location. It is important to remember that houseplants undergo shock when taken outdoors.

For practical purposes, leave the plant in the pot when putting it outdoors. Before bringing houseplants indoors in the fall, be sure M check for insects and disease. you live or where you work? At the present time, even our most sophisticated computers cannot be programmed to deal equitably with the distribution of the income tax when a taxpayer owns property in a community where he does trot live or work. Wealth Tax: This is a levy imposed upon individuals on the basis of their net personal wealth,, that is the total value of all assets including cash, bank deposits, securities, real property, jewellery and the like, less debts or other claims outstanding against them. This type of tax is used in 14 countries throughout the world, particularly in those countries with a high concentration of wealth such as India and Pakistan. One of its weaknesses is how to place a value of many of the items, such as small business holdings or jewellery. But the main argument against such a system is discovery. There is no registered title or external in- dication of existence for cash, jewellery or non -registered bonds. Much of the potential revenue here would be lost unless all property were discovered and valued with equal effectiveness. Retail Sales Tax: The obvious disadvantages to raising local revenues trough a retail sales tax is fist, if all local governments did not impose the tax, the results would be disastrous to those that did because people would simply shop in the nearest town that did not have a sales tax. And second, usually one urban location is the commercial dormitory suburb or agricultural municipalities would not get the benefit of a large part of the tax collected on pur- chases made by its residents. Even if taxation was uniform and revenues pooled throughout entire urban areas, the problems, while reduced, are not eliminated. Many people believe that education should not be financed through the property tax. The reality of this is that only about 42% of the total education costs are met from the property tax. ( This is a provincial average, and varies greatlyhom municipalityto municipality ). The rest of the money is provided through transfer payments from other Levels of aDvernment. At that, many people, especially senior citizens feel this is an unfair burden. I must point out that with the introduction of the Ontario Property Tax Credit plan in 1972, very few of the senior citizens residing in Ontario contribute to the cost of education trough pmperty taxes. As well. the basic tax credit to seniors will be enriched from $290 to $510 in conjunction with the im- plementation of property tax reform. I would be pleased to provide a complete outline of how this system worts, upon request. The undeniable consequence of removing ALL costs of education from the property tax is that any thread of local government control that does exist with respect to education would disappear. Authority without any finan- cial responsibility is wholly unrealistic. If the property tax system was not in existence. we could perhaps develop a system that was theoretically perfect. But it must be recognised that the property tax has been in existence in its present to for many years in Ontario. It is impossible to completely abandon the social and economic consequences produced by this system and crw be instant perfection. Some relief to the property owner can, should and is provided through provincial grants to local governments. I will be dealing with this subject in a subsequent column. In the moving weeks. I will be explaining why reform is necessary and bow the proposals for reform will affect the residents of D urbam West Riding - Pickering Parks dr Recreation Department Presents Arts Awakening'78 (Young Canada Works Grant) An exciting summer arts program for children (ages 8-14).
