Verheij) Cafik Hands Over $6000 To Town At that point, the federal government, under The Municipal Grants Act, was able to make the "ex gratia" payments for these arrears. In the case of Pickering, authority has now been granted to pay these arrears for the years 1978 - 1979, upon proof from the municipality that every effort has been made to collect the taxes. The munici polity assmed a penalty and interest on these a rr ea rs. Un- fortunately, the Depart- ment of Public Works had no authority under law to make payments. Mr. Cafik has been able to get authority to pay the penalty and interest "ex gratia". Norm Cafik told Pickering Council on Monday that the problem of tax arrears owing to the Muricipality of Pick ering has now been resolved. He handed over $6,000 to mayor Jack Anderson. It was through Mr. Cafik's representations to both the Minister of Public Works and Treasury Board that authority was granted to make 11ex gratia" payments in respect to these arrears. The problem in the past was that under The Municipal Grants Act the federal government could not collect taxes from its tenants to assure payment to the municipality in which those properties were located. It was the responsibility of the municipality to bill the tenant for his municipal taxes and, in some cases, if the tenant had moved in midyear, the municipality had to get the bailiff's assistance. The RegWations to The Municipal Grants Act are being amended to give authority to the Depart- ment of Public Works to collect its ren t and municipal taxes an a pro 4F' rated basis. In this fashion, Leases by the federal the municipality will be government will be guaranteed its tax funds at changed accordingly as a much earlier time. they come up for renewal. Councillor Don Kitchen tried to get a 40 krnh speed zone for all streets in the Glendale subdivision on Monday, but Pickering Town Council voted 3-2 against the idea. Town manager, Noel Marshall, told council that to establish a 40 kmh zone, the streets must be signed and each sign costs bet- ween $40 and $W. For the whole subdivision it would be a significant cost and it must be ap- proved by the regional council. He added that two similar requests in the past were rejected by the region. Mayor Jack Anderson said that "we're taUdng about the whole town getting zoned downwards and as I recall a report if the town wanted to absorb the costs, then the region would approve it".

Table Brougham Report Pickering Town Council decided to table a resolution about the Brougham Community Centre and Park on Monday. The resolution would have given the community until May 31st to demonstrate its ability to provide regular inspection and main- tenance at the haU and demonstrate a meaningful program to the town parks and recreation depart- ment. In the event that such assurances were not for- thcoming, the town may not renew the lease with the federal government on the Brougham Hall or the Brougham Community Park. Council decided to defer a decision an fts matter for another week. AUSTIN ' TAXI & DRIVING SCHOOL By Appointment Only 282-3567 I Pa" 2 THE NEWSIPOST Thum. May Opinion a page for express;on for you and us . . Education Problem Teachers and some parents have stormed the city of Toronto board of education to demand that the firing of teachers due to declining enrolment be stopped and in North York this week hundreds more did the same thing. These arguments, legitimate as they may seem to the people receiving the notices of dismissal, will fall with a thud on the ears of the Metro Toronto property owners who are being called upon to bear the educational financial load. The Provincial government has regularly reduced the amount of grants to local school boards as it slowly wheezIes out of the cost of education. It is our opinion that is is past time for the Conservative government at Queen's Park to make a change in its way of financing education, such as the Liberals suggested about 10 years ago. We refer to the idea that income taxes (a fairer way) should pay for education and not property taxes. Properties do not create educational costs - people do. This chang eprobably wouldn't help the reduction in the numbers of teachers, but at least it would make financing of education fairer to those human beings who own properties. This wotdd take the heat off young people beginning to buy houses and also senior citizens trying to stay in their Economic Growth Up But Not Ontario A regional economic growth forecast in the April issue of the Bank of Montreal's Business Review has Alberta setting the pace for 1979 but shows the Atlantic provinces in a surprisingly strong second place. 'The most spectacular improvement has come in the fishery. Last year, Canada overtook Norway and Japan to become the world's largest fish exporter in value terms and Ow strength of the Atlantic fishery should help Canada hold that lead in 1979." With the pulp and paper industry looking for another good year, some improvement forecast in the mining sector and investment predicted to grow above the national average, these additional developments should help keep the Atlantic economy ticking over until general economic conditions pick up again in 198D. Meanwhile, oil has kept Alberta out front in econonuc growth for many years, although provincial growth seems likely to cool off somewhat this year. On the plus side, the Review says, heavy oil and tar sands development could accelerate because of world price increases. However, export restrictions and a slow-growing Canadian market could of Eset some of the impact of higher prices on total oil ipts. In other sectors of the Alberta economy, natural gas prospects are good in view of an increase expected in the average price and a National Energy Board recom- mendation favoring export of substantial volumes of the province's surplus stock. Alberta is also expected to lead the country in investment activity and the agricultural une argument cut some teacners are needed to assist in the social problems at inner schools is a better one from the teachers' point of vim. We believe tMt the federal New Condominium goverrinnent should have provided the money for the numerous social workers we have required to look after the problems which some immigrants have in our society. But Ontario's new condominium legislation takes effect June instead of the federal taxpayer paying for this cost. which is 1, 1979 and will include a number of changes designed to not insignificant, the same old property owner is being offer greater consumer protection to both owners and asked to shell out for this additional problem cost. potential buyers of condominium units, consumer minister There is no argument about the tremendous workload FY&nk Drea announced. - which some teachers must bear who daily wrestle with "One of the most important changes for potential coo - their pupils' social problems and have little time left for nium buyers is the 10 -day cooling -off period," said Mr. decet t education.

Released in a statement called "Parhammt - Riecorn- menclaticiris for Change", the Business Council's fizidings are based m extensive consultations over the past ten months with Commons and Senate members, senior of- ficials in the public service, anci representatives of the private sector, the academic community and the media. Steele Curry, spokesman for the Busi Council, and Chef Executive Officer of Revelstoke Companies said, "our recommendations are directed at strengthening the effectiverness of the legislative process, strengthening the committee system, improving access to information, in- creasing public service accountaliffity and enhancing the role of the individual Members of Parliament". The Business Coullocil believes that the present rules of confidence are impractical and lead to unnecessary political peftisainsitip in criticizing and defending legislation. Consequently, the Council urges that Pariiament redefine and narrow the scope of what can be desigmted as a lion -confidence vote. Rather than have government treat every issue as one of confidence, "the rules of confidence should be confined to the Throne Speech, the Budget, the Estimates in Total and to those legislative issues upon which the government designates its willingness to stand or fall," the study recommends. The Business Councilcontends that the House of Commons could function more efficiently if a fixed annual schedule were estabhshed for each sitting, permitting the individual members to allocate their time more reasonably. Specifically, the Business Council recornm that PICKERING [ne P 0 sf, Published every Thursday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. IM Postal Address: Box 111.

Tbe role of committees shoill d be revised to make them more effective, the Busuiess Council says. Standuog committees should be recluced in size and be given the power to select subjects for investigation within their jurisdictions. as well as the authority and budget to hire expert staff. The Business Council also recommends that a freedom of information statute be enacted to ensure that relevant information - subject to provisions for national security, indivi dial privacy, and confidential advice to ministers - is made available to Members of Parliament and the public. It also recommends that the government publish pre - legislative white papers outlining the government's position on proposed legislation, and that, whenever possible, a new bill be accomparied by the regulations proposed to support it Currently, too many regulations are enacted without advance scrutiny by elected representatives. The government should be encouraged to develop and defend its revenue and exper4ture plans within the context of mom and better infoirmiation and a longer time -frame. This process should include the creation of a joint House of Commons -Senate Committee to hold pre -budget hearings, and to receive testimony and submissions. The Minister of Finance and the President of the Treasury Board should be required to publish before the Blue Book Estimates are presented to Parliament, an annual white paper on govern mente xpenditure with three -to -five-year projecti�w and a standi rig committee should be established to receive and scrutinize it. The Business Council recommends that a doctrine of accountability of senior pubhc servants be established along with a complementary doctrine of ministerial ac- countability, and that deputy ministerial accountability include the obligation to testify before parliamentary committees on matters of administration. Individual Members of Parliament, subject to ex- traordinary demands on their time, could become more effective if their staff budgets provided for the Wring of one additional assistant to aid them in carrying out their legislative nesponsibilities, according to the Business Council, In addition, opportunities for private Members' resolutions and bills should be increased by allowing a fixed number to come to vote in the House. "Without change," the Business Council concludes, "Parliament will simply be incapable of dealing effectively with the increasing complexity of modern government." The time for change is long overdue and the adoption of these recomnienclatiorm, Ow Busuiess Council believes, will assist Parliament in meeting the challenges of the future. outlook is "fairly good". British Columbia and Quebec are also expected to finish the year with above-average growth. Bright spots in the B.C. economy are tourism, fishing and captial investment. Mining and forestry could face problems this year beepuse of the predicted U.S. and Canadian economic downturns and only modest growth by Japan. A heavy labor bargaining calendar could also spell trouble. Quebec growth is rated at, or above the national average, largely because of strength in some manufacturing areas. "Butthere wouldappear to be substantial downside risks in this forecast," the Review cautions, because of expected 'less buoyant" retail sales, smaller growth in the pulp and paper industry, a weak home construction sector and below average investment. 1�oveinr­afl growth for Ontario should be a little below the national average because of below -par perfornumes by manufacturing and mirting." However, agriculture should have a good year and the construction industry should be stronger with capital spending expected to grow above the national average and almost twice as fast as in 1978. Growth well below the national average is expected in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Agricultural growth is ex- pected to be only modest because of weaker grain markets. Prospects for sales of non-ferrous metals are not "overly good" and moderate construction growth in Saskatchewan will be offset by a standstill in Manitoba. The only bright spots am in the oil and potash sectors. Rules corporations comprising 25 units or more, and changes which affect owners who take possession of their units before the condominium complex is registered. Condominiurn owners will also benefit from the added mourance coverage required by conclommium car- porations. As of June 1. condominium corporations are responsible for irtsuring the individual urat structures. Owners mint insure the contents and improvements to the unit and carry liability insurance. Condominium Ontario will also be set up as a result of the new Act. It will operate as an inidependent organization offering technical and information services as well as help in resolving disputes. "Candorni nNim Ontario will allow condominium owners to run their own show," said Mr. Drea.

Private Home Day Care Private home day care is, by far, the most widely used ferm of day care for children in Canada.

Legally she can provide care for up to five children, depending upon their ages - no more than two under the age of 2 or three under the age of 3. This number provides ample opportunity for children to relate both to the provider and to other children in a home setting. ACTTVITIES. Do the children in care receive stimulation in the form of creative activities, social interaction, and learning opportuitities' Do they have alternate quiet and active periods? Indoor and outdoor play? According to Jean Blake, Supervisor of Day Care Finders in Agincourt, these are just some of the important con- sidera tions; in choosi rig a day care home. Day Care Finders is a program operated by Famfly Day Care Services, a non- profit agency with many years experience in supervising private home day care in Metropolitan Toronto. "Our providers are full-time employees of Family Day Care Services, carefully selected and screened in their homes. They are supervised and trained in child care skills by professional staff who visit the home on a continuing basis to ensure job satisfaction for the provider and good day care for the children," she said. Day Care Finders is the only program of its kind in metropolitan Toronto providing full-time salaried em- ployment and training to private home caregivers. "In this way, " she said, "we can ensure thatchilch-en enrolled in our program are receiving the attention and guidance of a provider who has chosen to provide quality day care as a full-time occupation." Fees range from $30.00 to $W.00 per child per week, depending on the hours of care needed. For more in- formation on Day Care Finders, phone 92Z45M. J Fewer Buses Next Year 'bY Ruth Schweitzer There may be fewer school buses for Scar- borough's students next year. A Board of Education committee is thinking of reducing the school bus service. All the people who would be affected by the changes will be notified. At Monday ni ght's meeting of the Planning Committee Ken Goodwin, Superintendent of Planning and Operations, proposed that several bus routes be eliminated. In his report to the committee Goodwin says that beginning in Sep- tember 1979 transportation should not be provided for the pupils from: the McCowan Road - Sheppard Avenue area to Timothy Eaton Secondary School. north of Finch Avenue to the H.E.P.C. line west of Kennedy Road to Timothy Eaton S.S. northof Finch Avenue to the H.E.P.C. line west of Kennedy Road to Sir Wm. Cisler Vocational School. the tfighland Creek Public School to West Hill Collegi ate both sides of Neilson Road north of Ellesmere Road to West Hill Colftiate. The report also recom- nxrxb that transpartation not be provided for children in the Henry Kelsey Senior Public School area north of Finch Avenue and south of the H.E.P.C. line and that bus siervice be reduced for students who live east of Colonel Danforth Trail in the Centenniall Road area. Bert Dandy, Separate School Representative for Wards Ito 5, propowd that parents should be notified before the bus service ends. Dandy says many people will be upset. Goodwin explained that the routes are questionable as they do riot conform with Board policy. "Quite frankly, I think the parents would be rather foolish to be willing to lose their transportation," he said. Ward 12 Trustee Richard Sanders pointed out that junior kindergarten children walking close to a mile in a busy route is questionable. Goodwin replied that many kids in junior kin- dergarten already walk close to a mile to get to school. Crossing guards .help the children at in- tersections. According to the Education Act a "child is excused from attendance at school, if transportation is not provided by the Board: if the school is over a mi le away and the child is under seven or if the school is over two miles away and the chi Id is over seven or if the school is over three miles away and the chdd is ten or over. Board policies in Scar- borough provides tran- sportation for medical reasons upon receipt of proof of chsability. It also provides tran- sportation for students who attend special or remedial classes and for students who attend Home Economics or Industrial Arts Classes " where &stance and time is a (odor". Transportatkii may also be provided where unusually dangerous traffic conditions exist. walking distance is deemed excessi ve, or public transport is not available. Board Approves Record Budget The Metropolitan Separate School Board approved a record- breaking budget of $169,329.363 Last week to provide for the ed ucation of its 91,612 pupils in 1979. The budget is $14.396,685 higher ton the 1978 ex- penditure at $154,944678 for an increase of 9.27%. To restrict the rate of in- crease, the Board spent several weeks reducing and/or eliminating ap- proximately $11 million in programs and services from the initial budget requests. The property tax increase is 1,9 mills or 4.37%. This is equivalent to $9.50 on a residence assessed at $5,000. The new rates are 45.47 mills residential and 50.52 mills commercial Compared to the 197a rates of 43.57 and 49.41. Sour,ces and amounts of revenue are: Provincial Government gra nts, $1=370,739 (up $8.6 million over 1978); property taxes. $41,986,233 (up $3.7 million); transfer from the reserve for working funds, $3,144,34. including $1.930,386 from the reserve for sites and capital - Another $1,500,00 plus will come from miscellaneous sources i.e. tuition fees, rent and interest. Major items of ex- penditure include in- structional salaries, $117,6 38,286; plant operations $16,036,156; and instructional supplies $6,784,171.

If Council accepte the recommendation and after it is circulated, at least one Only 14 Attend Meeting by Kathy Harford The solutions to the suburban problems is riot in "great outlays of money" but in support systems built within the communities, Roy Gordon said of the Metro Social Planning Report last week. Students helping the elderly with grocery shopping and snow shoveling and neighbors helping neighbors would be a great starting poirt in solving our problems, the Cosburn Jr. High School teacher said. Mr. Gordon t d d a meeting at Chartland Jr. High School tha t he was not as optimistic about the future of the suburbs as Alderman John Wimbr, had said he was. '�Goverrlrnent has taken away our responsibilities in 12 way and part of the solution hes in educating people in their civic responsibilities,*' he said. Alderman John Wimbs called last week's meeting to get community groups and concerned residents to discuss the Metro Social Planting Report, "Metro, Suburbs In TTansitian". But only about 14 people turned out to the meeting. Mr. Wimbs wanted community members to comment and make suggestions before the social planning council brings out its recom- mendations in the second part of the report. The first part of the report dealt with the growing problems of juvenile crime, unemployment and other social problems in the suburbs. Chairman of the meeting, John Larke, principal of Agincourt Collegiate and a member of the Scar- borough Planning Board, said present problems should not be blarried en- firely on post plannirg. We built roads and houses years ago because that was what was needed at the tittle, he said. '�Other aspects of plan- ning were neglected because no one projected what would happen 25 ye,ars down the road" he said, citing unemployment as an example. "There is too much self- centred materialism toda y, - one resident commented. -Chkiren are suffering because parents don't know bow to be parents." The impact of pertnts on children seems to have been lost over the years, he added.

Nominations Open For 1979 Awards Nominations for this year's A.S.Taykr Awards, presented annually to rec og nize outstanding contributions to education in Scarborough. am now being received by the Scarborough Board of Education, The Awards. instituted in 1977, may be granted to any member of the educational system, such as a student, teacher or non -teaching staff member, or to a member of the general public. Nomination forms may be obtained f rom any Scar- borough school or by telephoning 438-7581. All n orn ina ti ons must be received at the Board of- fices by 4:30 p.m. on Fri. May 1&h. Ilie annual Awards are in honou r of Anson S. Taylor, who retired in July, 1977, after 25 years with the Scarborough Board of Education, including 16 years as its Director. Mr. Taylor was the sole recipient of the Award in its inaugural year. Last year, Awards were made to long-time Scar- borough resident Alex Davidson, student Judy Phair and teacher Charlie Jolliffe. More OmnoneAward may be made in any year, but no Award need be granted in a vear when no suitable candidate is nominated. The A.S.Taylor Awards consist of an engraved sterling silver medal and a suitable gift. The Awards presentation is scheduled to take place at the Board's June IS meeting. Ahird of the businessmen don't object to it within 60 days, the by-law could be Implemented. However, after this, the matter goes onto the Ortario Municipal Board and objections would still be heard at that time. Representative of the Iffirlistry of Housing, Mark Emmerson, said what the designation will do is allow businessmen "to club together to raise money thirough the municipality which will be used to promote improvements in their area". The businesses will be levied an additional tax which will be based on the reality tax and applied through the business tax, Mr. Belfontaine said. The additional tax will be comprised of a ratio bet- ween a businessman's real estate tax and the proportion of the total real estate tax in the area, Mr. Emmerson said. A Board of Management would be responsible for setting up the budget, but final apqxoval would rest with Council. Bill Belfontaine told the last Council meeting that some 130 to 170 businesses in the Cliffside area were interested in the scheme and tried to convince Council to send notice of the by-law right away. Although Council mem- vula, appeared to like the idea in principal, they expressed concern about the businessmen's full awareness of the program. Controller Brian Harrison said the businessmen would wait full details an justwhat the additional tax Levy would be and what they would be getthig for their money. The ma Itter went back to the works and tran- sportation committee last week and businessmen assured committee that of a the businessmen they bad notified only one or two objected. Sam Rutrun. a member at the steering committee for the project, outlined a proposal for the group's first budget. Out of an overa ll budget of $15,000, $7,5DO would go towards landscaping, $7,500 to park benches, flower pots decorative lamps and such, $8,000 for advertising and $3,000 for promotional t -shirts, buttons and the like. That would mean roughly $100 per business for the first year, he said. Mr. Tutman said that after 3 separate meetings with various members of the Cliffside business community, he was satisfied there was a strong awareness and support for the program. "This is the first of many across Scartorvugh," said Mr. Belfontaine whose ef forts to get the BIA designation began in 1972. "I know it's going to work," he said.

May 10, 19'M Bill Watt's World ON STAGE: At one point during the running of The Neon Woman which is playing until Saturday at the Danforth Music Hall the line is delivered 'The world will never be rid of decadence.". How true! How very, very true! And the best proof of that statement is the play that spawns it, The Neon Woman. During the approximate two hour ruming time you will see coitus, miscegenation, incest, aberrational incest, drug addiction, dypsomania, nymphomania and necrophelia. And you know what? You'lllaugh yourself silly over it all. The secret is to treat it as what it is in- tended to be . . a sendup of everything in this world of ours that is wrong. Our American friends have long known that the best weapon against corruption of anything is ridicule - the wisecrack. Now, if you choose to see Neon Woman and will in fact be exposed to much of Toronto's soft underbelly of decadence and persersion in the audience. Pay no attention to it.

I think particularly of the clown in front of me on opening night, the clown who was wearing a hat complete with Mercury wings. Instead, concentrate on the sometimes absurdity of the human condition, laugh at it and purge yourself with that laughter. Afterwards, bring yourself to think about the performance of Divine in the main role of Flash Storm the proprietess; of a sleazy Baltimore burlesque house. Here is 3DO potmds of honest vulgarity and hilarity. Could be wrong of course but I thi nk Divine is the man who appeared as the female impersonator on several episodes of All In The Family. Certainly, he looks and sounds like her. Certainly he is furiny. Funny too is the per- formance of William Edgar as Kitty LaRue. the stripper who donates her eamings to the Lesbian Benev al en t Association. When he confesses he is a transvestite, Divine in- forms him that he cannot stand drag queens or Democrats'. Valerie Risely is funny as a stripper who seems to be in a permanent state of lactation.

I mean Desmond -Des - O'Connor - who's currently enthralling them at the swank Imperial Room after earlier Toronto ex- posures at such giant showplaces as The O'Keefe and the C.N.E. Grand- stand. Sporting an Australian tan and still looking like a sinfully young combination of Barry Manilow and Andre Previn with over- tones of Tom Kneebone, he is proving once again that he can play an audience better than anyone else in the field of popular per- forming arts. He takes a better than average voice. a genuinely furmy presence, superb timing and years of eqxrience. wraps them all up in a musics I package of superb values and delivers them in a manner that is quite indescribable and probably unique. It isn't that he does things no other performer can do� it's just that he seem s to do them that little bit better. And. to repeat, he can handle any kind of audience. Opening night saw the venerable Imperia.1 virtually filled with his fans. . law who consider him to be theirs ex- clusi vel y. That's nice to see of course and a tribute to Mr. O'Connor but surely some of those well in- tentioned yahoos must realize that even an en- tertainer such as Des O'Connor cannot have his timing thrown off con- finual.ly by comments and actions from the floor. Come on fans, try to remember that there are others who are seeing your hero for the first Ume and they would like to see him at his considerable best, free from your -par- ticipation. His considerable best includes a rendition of September Song that displays a maturity of interpretation that could well have been borrowed from Walter Huston himself. a tongue twisting version of Nola that would do credit to Danny Kaye and some soberingly funny observations on world politics. "The real issue facing the British voter is to choose between a dithering old lady and Margaret Thatcher." That was a slow riser that soon swelled into hilarity. Regular readers will have adduced by now that I'm foun deri ng i n a n a ttern pt to describe Des O'Connor and Its performance in justice filled terms. The simple fact is that I cannot. Best go see him for yourself and enjoy sirguiig, clowinirig and some dan- cing at it's very best. . in a supper club, which is where Des O'Connor can best be appreciated.

The M.M.T. consisted of six young ladies and six your men ranging in age from 11 year old Laura MacDonald to recent graduates from Scar- horough College. The choral work was exceptionally well balanced and the toning was very pleasant. The show had the look of being well rehearsed and professional. Each person on stage seemed to have the presence to know in- stinctively what to do and when to do it. The staging was simple, yet effective. I am still unable to believe that this show was put together with only one rehearsal. Real professiona lism. The program consisted of over 20 musical numbers including the title song. The "Bird In the Gilded Cage", '14y Wils Irish Rose", "Beautiful Dreamer" were among the other nostalgic airs. While each member of the cast is a soloist, special mention should be made of Celine Papizewski and Ame-Maria Hurle. Both young ladies have ex- ceptional voices and also have dramatic and comic talent. They are full time students at the Royal Conservatory.

May 10, 1979 THE NEWS/POST Page 13 HOME IMPROVEMENT Starting A New Lawn From Seed Or Sod A little extra care in getting anew lawn properly started is important in assuring a beautiful lawn according to horticultural experts in the lawn and garden section of Canadian Industries Limited agricultural chemicals diviSlon. New lawns can be started either from seed or sod. Sod has the advantage that itgives instant cover, but it is more expensive. Seeding is more economical but the new lawn from seed must be given time to get well established before heavy use. Whether seeding or sodding. preparation of the soil is important. Make sure it is well prepared. Lumps must be broken up and if it is heavy clay, add humus, peat moss or even a little fine sand. The object is to obtain a fine, loose bed. If you have to spread a layer of top sail to obtain the desired level, or to provide a seed bed, don't be surprised to find the top soil contains a large Dumber of weeds. These will germinate with the grass seed and must be eliminated later in the year. When properly prepared the seed bed should be fertilized with a fertilizer like CIL Turf Starter, 16-32- 6. Apply at the rate of 10 lbs. per 1000 square feet, and wan it Duo the soil to a depth two to three inches. With the seed bed prepared to the desired level and contour, sow the seed evenly, and rake in gently. Do not work the seed in too deeply or it will not germinate. An 1/8 inch et soil over the seed is sufficient Rake in one direction only, as excessive raking tends to concentrate the seed in channels or fidges. After covering the seed, roll the lawn to firm the soil around the seed. The roller and woil must be dry, otherwise the seed and soil will stick to the roller and ruin the seed PAINTING & DECORATING R.

Tree branches spread over the lawn will also discourage children and pet traffic. The newly seeded lawn should be kept moist but not saturated, until the grass is at least an inch high. Use a very fine spray toavoid washing the soil off the seed until it is well rooted. When the new grass reaches a height of 2 1/2 to 3 inches it is ready for the first cutting. Do not cut when the ground is too damp as the mower wheels will dig into the ground. Similarly a rotary type power mower may pull the new seedlings out if the ground is wet. A reel type mower puts less stress on young plants. Roll the lawn again following this first cutting to firm up the soil around the grass roots. Do not use a heavy miler. The object is simply to firm up the soil around the roots. A heavy roller compacts the soil and it is then unable to absorb water or air. When the grass is established, feed it with fertilizer like CIL Golfgreen at 10 bs. per 1000 sq. ft. The problem of weed seeds in top soil was mentioned earlier. If broadleaved weeds are apparent by mid-June you can take steps to kill them by using CIL Weed and Feed at 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. Even if the weeds are thriving before that date do not apply a herbicide earlier than mid-June as it may kill the young grass. This is assuming that the lawn was started early and is well established by mid- June. It is best to con- centrate on getting your lawn established the first year and hit the weeds in the fall or next year. Many of the principles used in starting a new lawn from seed also apply to sodding. Preparation of the seed bed is similar, and it should be fertilized to a depth of two to three inches with Turf Starter before the sod is laid. The sod should be rolled after laying to press it into place. The new sod should be kept moist, but not saturated, until the grass is growing vigorously. Once established these new lawns can be main- tained by following the lawn care instructions in the CIL Lawn & Garden Guide, available free from your CIL dealer.

They are: At least one advance poll with 'level access" most be established in each urban area of an electoral district. When an elector's normal advance poll doesn't have level access, the voter had the right to switch to another advanced poll that does offer this facility. "Level access" means a ramp or other level entry to a voting place, not requiring the use of stairs or steps. Advance polls will be set up for voting prior to normal election day.

Report From Queen's Park BY GEORGE ASHE, MPP For the past six years, the Government of Ontario has designated the month of May as Family Unity Month, in order to provide us with an opportunity to pause and reflect upon the importance of the family within society. In discussing the family unit, many people have false notions about the facts. It is not true that fewer people are getting married. In fact, the marriage rate is higher today than it was fifteen years ago. There is simply no question that marriage continues to be a very popular institution. The divorce rate has, however, increased in recent years. Statistics do show that most people who get married .. stay married, and of those who divorce, a great many remarry, this reaffirming their faith in the importance of family life. It certainly isn't any myth that the size of the average family has declined. People are having fewer children, but the actual proportion of families with children has in- creased sere 1951, and is currently at historic highs. So although the birth rate has fallen, more people than ever before have chosen to have children. According to the latest statistics, more than 85% of the people in Ontario are living within a family structure, which is a higher pe'centage than in the '50s. But not everyone views family living in the same way. Our traditional family unit of two parents and children is con- tinuing to thrive. But with today's choices, many couples have active, happy family lives without children. Relaxed adoption laws have proven the theory of family cohesion for mixed races. And every day records more success stories of dose, weUadjusted single parent families. Each of these emerging different family structures im- pace on the individuals involved and society as a whole. However, study emphasis in our western society has mainly been directed towards the health and happiness of in- dividuals. The fact that most individuals do live within a family context, has quite dtea been ignored. Despite its obvious importance, family life is a rather neglected area of research. This vacuum has not escaped the attention of the Govern- ment of Ontario. Last year, the Province committed itself to undertake a comprehensive review of its policies and programs as they affect the family with the aim of making appropriate changes to these policies and programs that would enhance the role and authority of the family unit. As much as possible. information will be gathered for this review in living rooms and church basements around the Province. Within the last year, major legislative changes have been made affecting families. These include The Family Law Reform Act. which regulates property rights and support obligations. A children's services division has been created in the Ministry of Community and Social Services, and there is a unit dealing strictly with family health within the Ministry of Health. And of course, the Government of Ontario is celebrating the International Year of the Child. At Queen's Park, an Inter -Ministry Committee on Families has been appointed to look into various policies of the Ministries which affect families. during Family Unity Month, this Committee plans to release several papers which will be designed to encourage discussion and feed- back from the public about families. The Government of Ontario wants to explore the relationships between Government and families. We are open-minded in our explorations. We are not looking for a confirmation of what we believe, but rather an affirmation of what families themselves want from Government. The family is fundamental in the formation of a strong in- dividual, and as such requires appropriate Government polios that will enhance the role and authority of the family unit. Thurs.

Report From Queen's Park by George Ashe,MPP NUCLEAR ELECTRIC POWER With all the official statements on nuclear electric power resulting from the accident at Three Mile Island in Penn-. sylvania. I was rather reluctant to border my constituents, who have been living in harmony with the Pickering Generating station for more than a decade, with any ad- ditional wards an this subject. However, a recent letter to the editor of a local weekly newspaper pointing out my negligence in this regard, has changed my mind. In today's column I will address the safety and security of nuclear energy, and next week I will discuss the cost of supply. Three Mile bland has brought home to the Provincial Government and Ontario Hydro the importance of com- municating to the press and the public, clearly and ac- curately. events as they happen, and the necessity for order in the execution of public safety measures. In the weeks and months ahead, the Government will be working with On - celebrate the 25th an- niversary of its opening with a reunion to be held May 30, 31 and June 1, 1990, in Kingston.

The accident at Thee Mile Island, while unfortunate, has served a very valuable purpose in rrovirw that the safety measures built into the plant by the scientists do work. Prior to Three Mile Island, these were paper theories, because they had never been put to the test. No one, either inside or outside of the Harrisburg plant, was injured or overly -exposed to radiation throughout the duration of the crisis. An this outcome gives even greater confidence to our Ontario scietists because our Candu reactors are, in many respects, safer than those used in the United States. Simply stated, aur Canal system, among other features, provides for putting the containment system under vacuum in the event of a spill of radioactive material, whereas the American reactor does not. Realistically, the absolute safety of any industrial process or human activity, cannot be guaranteed. There is risk in everytting we do .. flying an airplane, cooking by gas, working in a mine or generating electricity by any means, including nuclear reactors. But nuclear plants have been operating in Ontario niw for fifteen years, and there has not been a single radiation injury to the public or to the operating staff. (Just to clarify a point, recently two em- ployees at Bruce Generating station were exposed to 5 1/2 and 8 Rems d radiation. This is less than the amount of radiation encountered by anyone having a routine X-ray series ). Ontario presently has three main sources of energy .. oil, gas and electricity. Gas and oil must be imported. During these volatile and uncertain political times adequate supplies at a reasonable price are not secure, particularly in the case of ail. We can and do produce electricity our- selves, and we know we can rely on this source of energy for both industrial and residential use. As everyone is aware, to generate electricity, we must have power plants. Up until 1965, electricity was produced through the use of hydraulics (water) and fossil fuels (coal and al). Since 1965, we have also generated electricity in this province through the use of nuclear reactors utilizing our Ontario uraninum resources. Last year, almost one- third of the electric power used in Ontario was provided from this source. The days when electricity from Niagara Falls, or other water -generated electric plants, can supply a large share of Ontario's power needs are gone forever. Coal, like oil, must be imported and therefore an adequate supply, at a reasonable price, is not secure. Further, coal burning plants produce large quantities of acid rain. As pointed out previously in this column, if we do not reduce our use of this pollutant (no less increase it with more coal burning generating plants), within twenty years, 48,000 lakes in Ontario will be contaminated and vegetation and forests may slowly be destroyed. Our energy requirements are growing, and our scientists have not yet perfected ways to harness the sun and other renewable energy sources. The Government's choices for meeting the increased energy demands of the Ontario taxpayers are limited. We can rely on the whims of other governments with the purchase of more gas and oil, for however long these resources last and at ever increasing prices. We can build more fossil fuel electric generating stations, once again with uncertainty of supply at a reasonable price and add to acid rain. Or we can continue with aur nuclear program, with its proven technological and safety record, albeit with some, although small risks.
