Proper Clothing & Footwear For Motorcyclists For Safety In 1979, 75 motorcycle drivers and 10 passengers were killed on Ontario's streets and highways. Another 3,667 motorcycle drivers and 710 passengers were injured. With the advent of warmer weather, motor- cyclists are out in full fake. The Ontario Safety League points out to bikers that the use of proper clothing and footwear should be of primary con- cern to any safety -minded motorcyclist. Substantial pants and jackets, gloves and boots can successfully reduce in- juries. This is purely com- mon sense. Yet casual observance would indicate a growing popularity dur- ing summer months for cut-off jeans, tee shirts and running shoes. Frequently, passengers have been noted without footwear whatsoever. Without proper clothing, the Ontaro Safety League suggests, even in a mor spin could cause serious in- jury. 150 per copy Published by Watson Publishing Company Ltd.

April 22, 1981 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Easter Monday Ask any ten people you know what Easter Monday represents - and you will get a negative reply. So why do we have a chaotic day when schools and governments are clos- ed while private enterprise attempts to conduct business without the essential communications operation called the post office? In our opinion, this holiday should be abolished as it has no value in the economics of our country• it has no significance to our religious lives and in short, it is a very wasteful "day off' for many people. Good Friday is the most important day in the Christian religion. It is the date of the crucifixion of Christ and it is celebrated very solemnly by all who believe. Easter Sun- day celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and this day becomes the most joyous event of the Christian year. Unfor- tunately. Easter Monday is the actual date of the resurrec- tion• but for many long years• the celebration has taken place on Sunday. Easter Monday has lost its significance for Christians. Getting back to the business community, it is very difficult to have an efficient business operation when an element such as the post office, which has exclusive control of mail, shuts down for four solid days. The post office is not a government service - it is a business and should be run ap- propriately. We trust that when the new post office corpora- tion is formed that Easter Monday is not a day of no action in that organization, and it is geared to fit into the business life. So. if the religious community does not wish to celebrate the resurrection on the Monday. why do we have this holi- day? Probably because it is a habit - an expensive habit to our economy' We suggest that this date should become a working day. like any other Monday. and if some union members absolutely insist on a day off, let them have in- dividual days off, but let the organizations function in the future. Banks were required to be open on Easter Monday - so %%-by can't the post office - and in fact. all other organizations function in a normal way. ---------------------- RUMMAGE SALE AND FLEA MARKET The A.C.W. women of St. George's Church.

All this current strength, says the bank's monthly Business Review•, may be reflecting, with a lag. the steep money supply growth which occurred in the last half of 1980. "Since November, however. and until recently, the money supply has been declining." the Review says. "An early slackening in the pace of activity, therefore, seems a good probability.,, Growth in Canada's real gross national product ( GNP ) during the fourth quarter of 1980, at 8% annualized, was the largest since the fust quarter in 1976. Elements of strength included foreign trade. consumption and investment. Sharp gains in employment, a decline in unemployment and strong growth in retail and foreign trade were elements of strength in the first quarter of 1961, according to the results available so far. There were also suggestions of a strong underlying de- mand for homes while a Statistics Canada survey of invest- ment intentions, taken after last fall's federal budget, the introduction of the national energy policy, and the escala- tion in interest rates, showed "much potential buoyancy' Not unexpectedly, therefore, the Business Review says, price performance has tended to deteriorate. The increase in the consumer price index over a year ago reached 12.2% in February and oil price increases in March suggest that month will also show a large increase. no PICKE[P RING S Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111.

SUBSCRIPTIONS - $8 per yr. by mail $6 per yr. by carrier 15c per copy For Higher Oil Prices The Energy Users' Council has called upon government to increase oil prices more quickly than provided for in the National Energy program as an essential first step to resolving the energy impasse. Spokesman Klaus Springer said, "this would ensure a secure supply of domestic oil and help the energy industry resume its key role in a prosperous, growing Canadian economy.,. The Council was recently established by more than a dozen major Canadian associations to speak for many in- dividual energy consumers and businesses closely affected by energy policies Participating associations are the Cana- dian Chamber of Commerce, the Retail Council of Canada, the Canadian Organization of Small Business, the Federa- tion of Automobile Dealer Associations of Canada, the Canadian Automobile Association, the Canadian Trucking Association, The Canadian Institute of Public Real Estate Companies, the Housing and Urban Development Associa- tion of Canada, the Urban Development Institute Canada, the Canadian Construction Association, the Canadian In- stitute of Steel Construction, the Heating. Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada, the Canadian In- stitute of Plumbing and Heating, and the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto. .'Why should we. as individual and commercial energy consumers, advocate higher oil prices?" asked Council spokesman Klaus Springer. 'Because we realize that the development of a secure supply of domestic energy is of paramount importance. Furthermore, in pursuing goal, all Canadians will enjoy substantial economic that will flow from further developing our energy indust that will .. far outweigh the near-term costs of adjus higher prices," he continued. nve Mr. Sprineer ninted out that e pay our own pr conventional oil less than half the world price. At the same time we are importing oil at, or even above, the average world price. The result is declining domestic production, stagnating investment and an increasing dependence on imports. "Why should a country with the potential of massive energy resources of its own decline to develop them? To those countries short of energy resources, our energy pric- ing policy appears ludicrous. We know it's ludicrous", he declared. "Higher domestic oil prices would have immediate positive effects. They would reduce the Federal Govern- ment's subsidies for oil imports, now running at about $3 billion a year. higher prices would provide more room to manoeuvre in revenue-sharing agreements among govern- ments as well as between governments and industry. "Settling these revenue-sharing agreements is the numn- her one economic priority. In the meantime, jobs are being lost, major energy projects in Western Canada are on hold. Drilling rigs are moving to richer pasture south of the border. And significantly, suppliers in Ontario. Quebec and re elsewhere aoperating below capacity while they wait anxiously for machinery and equipment orders for these multi -billion dollar projects". said Mr. Springer. He went on to say that we would have much more of an in- centive to cut our oil consumption if prices were raised more sharply. oducers this He concluded, "Higher energy prices may be hard to benefits swallow. but in the long run they will prove to be the es cheaper solution, enabling us to achieve national energy tang to self-sufficiency, helping governments to resolve their revenue dilemmas, and delivering a good measure of in - of creased prosperity to all Canadians.

It's all great fun and no one can really decide, given the almost in- numerable transmutations of roles and performing disciplines. Still, there are some actors who, by any yardstick, must be con- sidered to be at least among the world's finest. We submit that one of them is Sir Ralph Richard- son who is appearing presently at the Royal Alec in something entitled "Ear- ly Days". In fact, his mere appearance in this horror trying to pass itself off as a play and his ability to pull off a creditable perfor- mance are sufficient to qualify him for enshrine- ment in the temple of great actors. The play is simply dread- ful, nothing more really than an observation of an elderly man in the final throes of senility. Sadistic or masochistic voyeurs might find some enjoyment in it but we could not. To his everlasting credit Sir Ralph rises above this pot of dung and succeeds in winning admiration for his herculean efforts .. efforts (IDRC) - Ragweed may be a bane for hay fever sufferers but one member of its family is a boon and precious ally in the fight against disease. Snail fever affects over 200 million people, making it second only to malaria on the list of the greatest threats to public health in the world today. Almost all cases are in the tropics. Also known as bilharzia or schistosomiasis, the disease is caused by blood parasites that spend part of their life cycle infecting snails. Snail fever does not kill outright, but can pain- fully weaken and cripple, and combines with other illnesses to kill its victims. In Egypt, where farming and rural life revolve around irrigation systems, the disease strikes half the population. Now a re- searcher there has dis- covered that a type of ragweed -- called damsissa (Ambrosia maritima) -- may be a cheap, simple way of getting rid of the snail carriers. With a grant from Canada's International Development Research Centre, Dr. Mohamed El- Sawy of the Egyptian High Institute of Public Health is field-testing practical ways to turn the weed into a weapon against disease. Damsissa naturally pro- duces a poison that is very toxic to snails, but harmless to fish, plants, animals, or humans. Grown along canals or irrigation ditches, the plant can simply be cut down into the water to clear it of snails. The damsissa can also be dried, powder- ed and stored for future use without losing its potency. If damsissa performs well in Dr. EI-Sawy's experiments, this is one ragweed that may become a friend to farmers. With Cassius: ndsay Anderson, direc- that is so stylized, so lacking in motivational thrust that the supporting cast look and act like nothing so much as Disney puppets. In deference to their probable talent - cer- tainly they are well equip- ped technically - we will not mention their names. Only three names will be mentioned here . . Sir Ralph Richardson for his triumph over a crock, Lind- say Anderson who directed the crock and David Storey who wrote it. May the last two be def- ficated upon by a dyspeptic yak! Perhaps that's too harsh. After all, that might provide them with material for another so-called play. ON SCREEN: Since we're in a rotten mood, we might as well mention "Death Hunt" which we saw recently at an advance screening. One supposes that Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson can't be faulted for picking up a few more paychecks for simply walking through their roles. But, it seems to us that the public can be faulted for contributing to their dereliction of very real talent by supporting their efforts. Let's puss a resolution. Until Messrs. Marvin and Bronson start to act again, let's stay away from their films. Too strong an indict- ment? O.K., then let's just not support this latest in- sult to the collective in- telligence. IN THE CLUBS: Now, by this time you must be tired reading about death. So, if you want a celebration of life so powerful you'll almost be overcome, then break out of your rut and get down to the Imperial Room to see Tina Turner. The best way to describe her is to employ the tree words of Ed Norton .. va, va, voom! New Baby At The Zoo The Metro Toronto Zoo celebrated Easter in a special way this year with the introduction to the public of its six month old African elephant calf. Since its birth on Oct. 18 the female baby along with mother Tequila have been kept in the elephant house. Now that the warm weather has returned, the elephant has joined the re- mainder of the herd to the elephant enclosure at the zoo. Tell children to play safely ... away from hydro wires. Touching or coming close to hydro wires can be fatal. If kites or model airplanes contact over- head lines, even touching '\1, the string or control wire can cause serious injury. i If a pet runs up a hydro pole, never climb after it. Wait for the animal to come down by itself. Climbing hydro poles, fences around electrical equipment, or trees near power lines can be fatal. And remind children not to go near areas marked "Danger" or "Keep Out" Or, the fun could be over. Wed.

SCARBOROUGH DATSUN 1941 EGLINTON AVE. E. (at Warden) 751-3364 LDATSUN IIW Iha.Q. FOOD &ND DRUG IN- TERACTION One of the most seriau of rood and drug interactions is that of the activity of cer- tain naturally occurring amines called pressor amines (e.g. tyramine) with antidepressant drugs that inhibit the activity of monamine oxidase ( I AO) . These amines, which can cause vasoconstriction and ultimately high blood pressure, are normally detoxified by high concen- trations of monoamine ox- idase present in the gastrointestinal tract and liver. If patients receiving NIAO inhibitors continue to eat foods high in pressor amines, they can ex- perience headaches, diz- ziness, and in severe cases. cerebral hemorrhaging, symptoms of a high rise in blood pressure. Some deaths have occurred from this interaction. Foods high in tyramine, the most common presor amine, are aged cheeses, chicken liver, pickled and smoked herring, figs, pineapples, plums, broad beans, and very dry red wines.

April 22, 1961 Just Around The Corner By Gordon Ashberry EASTER DAMP I trust that you did enjoy your Easter Celebrations albeit that the weather was a bit on the damp side. While we do sympathize with you who went to the cottage or were planning on working outside, we are thankful on behalf of the lawns of Scarborough. With the price of grass seed and fertilizer this year, I for one am glad to see the moisture. I was almost forced to float a loan to buy the stuff, now I am hoping to float a lawn to make it grow.

ANOTHER ONE Bonny Keitala of Fairview Players called to remind me of their production of the Joe Orton comedy "WHAT THE BUTLER SAW" which runs April 29 to May 2 and May 5 to 9th. Orton is famous for his farcical examination of our more hallowed institutions and this play is no excep- tion. It is about a married cou- ple that are no ordinary couple. Their attempt to hide their sexual pec- cadilloes from one another and others sets off a wild melee of fun. Orton's pen is wicked and no reputation or institution is safe. The Fairview Players started out as a North York community theatre in 76. They have continued to have very successful seasons and now have a very loyal band of subscribers for their pro- duction series. They. also, have embark- ed upon an extensive pro- gram of chikdi-en's theatre in order to acquaint the usually elect-onic-oriented young people with the realistic live performance on a stage. This season their plays are held at Pauline McGib- bon Cultural Centre. 66 Lombard St. in downtown Toronto and ticket infor- mation can be had at 222-06,'16. MUSTN'T FORGET The Noel Coward favourite, "BLITHE SPIRIT" is the next presentation of Stage Cen- tre Productions. It will be at Fairview Library Theatre from April 30 to May 16, from Thursday on each week. You must have seen the movie or the play. But if not, it is about Charlie Con- damine who invites an ec- centric medium to his home in order to learn the language of the occult. Little does he or his se- cond wife. Ruth, expect that the seance will bring back Charles' fust wife who 'passed over' some seven years before. If you know the wit of Noel Coward you will know that this is a very fast paced and funny play - Coward has always been one of my personal favourites as a theatrical talent and this play is cer- tainly one of his best. For information about tickets, call 225-6550. A PEOPLE 1 LIKE Every so often you see so- meone perform on the stage and you feel that you know them personally. And occasionally you meet that same person offstage and you find that you like them even more as a person. Such an experience hap- pened to me and the person concerned was BRIAN PEARCY. Last week I told you that Brian had been awarded the THEA as the Best Actor in a Musical by the Association of Community Theatres. It was for his role as 'CURLEY' in the York Minstrel show 'Oklahoma'. Brian is an Anzac who came to Canada in 1%8. While in New Zealand he graduated from Auckland Teachers' College and was also very active in the semi-professional theatre there. He also appeared in numerous television com- mercials and was one-half of a duo that travelled the Cabaret circuit. In '74 he went to England to teach English at Paragon Secondary School, Inner London Education Authority in London and he also appeared as Billy Bigelow in "Carousel" at the Wimbledon Theatre. While in Canada, before and after the English so- journ, his list of stage credits is astounding. He had 11 principal and lead roles in the comm,lnity theatres in our area, an ap- pearance in the Red Barn Theatre show, 'Berlin to Broadway" in the Summer of '74. In '79 and '80 he worked in three Canadian Opera Company produc- tions. He also has organized his own musical entertainment group known as "The Sing- ing Waiters-, who has a heavy schedule of ap- pearances at festivals, commercial shows and private functions. He is also in demand as a Master of Ceremonies for events such as the Sing - along for the Canadian Opera Company Summer Festival Tent. His THEA award this year was his third. He was Best Actor in 77 as Fled in Kiss Me Kate and in '60 as Cor- nelius in Hello Dolly. Brian is a music teacher at Queen Alexander Sr. Public School. an inner city school. He does a musical every year with his kids and this year it was "Hans Christian Andersen". Brian is repeating his part in "KISS ME KATE" for York Minstrels, but this may be his last appearance on the boards locally for a little while. Next season he will be in- volved with the hiring of all of the extras for the Cana- dian opera Company and has been contracted to do four cabaret shows at Har- bourfront. Brian Pearcey is ore of the busiest guys that I know and also one of the most amiable. AN EASTER TREAT In celebration of Easter, there is a small display of Ukrainian hand -painted eggs. Easter cards and other Ukrainian crafts at Cedarbrae District Library on Markham Rd. in Scar- borough. It will be there un- til the 25th. There are many in- teresting things to see but the eggs have always in- trigued me. The painting of the designs must take an especially steady hand. They are so intricate and so colourful. They are known as Pysanky and are an old pre -Christian element which has an important role in Easter rites. They are given as gifts as proof of friendship and respect. In folk superstition, the eggs possess magic powers and are left on or buried in the graves of the dead and the next day taken out and given to the poor. The prin- cipal motifs are symbols of the sun. - BEFORE WE CAME For those of us that have lived in Scarborough for only 20 or 30 years it is always interesting to hear about the 'time before'. The Scarborough Historical Society has a very popular annual pro- gram called "Scarborough's Living History Makers". This year they have invited four speakers for Tues. Apr. 28 at 8 p.m. The place is Ben - dale Public Library, Dan- forth Rd. at McCowan. The speakers are Margaret Lowe, Heler, Minaker, William Sefton and Alex Davidson. All are from long established families in the area and can recall facts and per- sonal experiences from their parents' and grand- parents' eras. Students of oral history have permission to ecoi the talks. Related pictures will be displayed. There is no admission charge and coffee will be served. OVERHEARD ON THE BUS One senior citizen to another S.C.: "At least you don't see as many intox- icated mets on the buses nowadays ..trot like 30 or 40 years ago." Second S.C. : "That's because these days they can afford to drive their own cars."

The previous record was 12,200 and that was set the day before. Living With Arthritis A series of seminars will be offered at Humber Col- lege.

MacLean This past week I received a letter asking for advice on insetting uppers into a knitted cardigan. As so many readers ask for this information, I thought it would be a good idea to make it the subject of a col- umn. When measuring for your zipper, lay the cardigan fronts out on a flat surface for treasuring. Incidental- ly, you'll find it easier to put the zippy in before the garment is assembled. Do not stretch the fronts, just pat them into shape after they have been pressed. Measure the length of the front opening. allowing for the zipper to be within half an inch of the lower edge, and half an inch of the neck edge. Pin the tape of the zipper (when closed) to the fronts, working from the wrong side, pinning thro' the tape of the zipper into the ktut- ting, otbenwise if you pin from the knitting side, your pins are apt to get lost within the knitting.

Wed Apr. 22,1101 THE POST Poo f Getting Ready For Fishing No sooner are fish huts cleared from our lakes and the ice has disappeared than eager fishermen are thinking about the happy days ahead; where to go and how to catch the wily veterans of the deep. Proper preparation con- tributes a great deal to the enjoyment, success and safety of the sport. The Ontario Safety League states that it is necessary to have equip- ment in top shape and be prepared for the unex- pected, to safely avoid a dunking that may lead to hypothermia, which is the critical reduction of heat from the inner body core that can cause death. It is probably wise to look after maintenance routines on your outboard right away, just in case you find worn parts that need replacement. Many a craft has been swamped or cap- sized when a motor failed in rough water. You probably put your boat away in good repair last'fall but it should be checked thoroughly to make sure that it has not been damaged during the winter. At the same time, make sure that the anchor line is not frayed and that the bailing pump or pail is useable. As you check over all those beautiful lures and other gear, consider lining your tackle box with a 1/2 inch layer of foam. It will reduce damaging moisture and help deaden metallic The League suggests you fit a lined metal too] box with such accessory gear as a repair kit with a couple of spark plugs included, a first aid kit, insect repellent, plenty of water- proof matches, a flashlight and two compasses. Last but not least, matte sure your lifejackets are in good repair and make a habit of wearing one this fishing season.

Celebrate spring with your own table Maypole Whatever the calendar says, in most folk's minds spring isn't really in being until May, and that's not just a Canadian as- sumption. For many European cultures, May Day (Ma-, 1) is the time to celebrate, with various tradi- tions, the welcoming of spring. One of the most memorable and attractive of these traditions is the :Maypole, a tall pole wreathed with flowers and streamers, around which mer- rymakers dance. Why not have your own celebration of spring this year and create a Maypole as a table centrepiece for a party at home, or at your local church or club. All you meed is a centre pole (a candle with the top cut off, or a stick of rack candv will do). some narrow colored ribbons to serve as streamers, and a dozen chocolate cup cakes to take the place of the dancers. Place the pole in a small candle holder and twist some colored ribbons around it. Scotch tape them at the bottom, and use a wider strip of ribbon to cover the hase. Then take a dozen colored ribbons of equal length, tape them to the top of your pole. 'Take one ribbon at a time, twist it slightly, and stretch it out to reach one of the cup cakes. Fasten down with a decorative flower or candy. The Maypole can he assem- bled on a flat cake board, or even a lazy Susan if you prefer, on an attractive done% in the centre of your table. And now, here is my recipe for chocolate cup cake dancers and chocolate peppermint frost- ing. Maypole Cup Cakes Ingredients 1'/4 cups (300 mL) an purpose flour 3/4 cup (175 mi.)

Both federal and provin- cial parks branches also provide information on what boating opportunities are available and what ser- vices are provided in the various types of public parks across Canada. There are even a few of these where power boating is discouraged because of local conditions or pro- blems, and it's best to know in advance where they are.

M1S 1T5 Heating Construction will start this spring on a solar domestic hot water heating system to reduce the hot water heating costs in a 99 -unit, 10 -storey apart- ment building in West Hill. The building, located at 225 Morningside Ave., is owned by the Ontario Hous- ing Corporation and managed by the Metro Toronto Housing Authority. This is one of the projects undertaken jointly by the Ontario Ministries of Energy and Housing to demonstrate active solar renewable energy technology under the Hous- ing Energy '.Management Program (HEMP). The Ministry of Energy is providing the $109,000 cost of the demonstration pro- ject which is being co- ordinated by the technical services division of the Ministry of Housing. The project involves in- stallaion of 42 solar collec- tor panels and a 6,000 -litre storage tank. The solar system will use propylene glycol as the heat transfer fluid rather than water and will utilize an external heat exchanger. The system, which is ex- pected to be in operation by mid -summer, is intended to provide a 22.5 percent say. ing in hot water heating costs for the building. Wad.

While the bicycle is an excellent means of exer- cise and an inexpensive form of transportation, the Ontario Safety League reminds you that it is con- sidered oo-sidered a vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act. The rider must know and obey all the rules, signs and signals - the same acres that apply to the motorist. For safe cycling, the bike must fit you. The size of the bike affects your ability to reach and use the steering, pedalling and braking con- trols. You should be able to reach the ground comfor- tably with the ball of your foot while you are sitting upright If you are like the majori- ty. your bicycle has been stored for the winter. It will need a thorough maintenance check. Examine the tire and in- ner tubes for wear and holes. The spokes, chain, lights and horn should also be checked. Replace any defective parts. Oil the hubs sprocket, pedals and chain and tighten all nuts and bolts. Check the brakes carefully and replace the brake pad if necessary. Like a car, good align- ment is necessary to your vehicles' performance. If the bike veers to one side when pushed forward while holding the seat, it is out of line and needs adjustment. Wear light colored clothing when driving at night and equip your bike with reflective tape. One final word. Never carry a passenger on a bike built for one. Bicycling can be a fun and healthy family activity. Be sure you and your family are safe cyclists. Cedar Hill Minor Hockey League PLAYOFF RESULTS NOVICE 7 Royal Bank 4 Three Little Pigs 3 D.

April 22, 1981 Enjoying The Best Of Both Worlds On A Farm Milk a cow in the morning, play golf in the afternoon and attend a concert in the evening. And that's not all. In between, if you have the energy, there's swimming, fishing, sailing, riding and much more. It all depends on the farm you have chosen for your farm vaca- tion. Select one close to a large Canadian city and you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Farm vacations within a short drive of Montreal. Quebec City, Ottawa. Toronto or Vancouver are bound to please all members of the family. Parents can sleep in as the children feed the chickens or pick berries and in the evening, knowing the young ones are in good hands (babysitting ser- vices are available at many farms). mom and dad can succumb to the magnet of the city's bright lights. On a rainy day, it's easy for the whole family to jump in the car and visit a museum or some other in- door attraction in the city. Each season has something special to offer. In spring, sugaring -off par- ties are popular in eastern Canada and in the fall, there's riding and fishing. the gathering of crops and strolls in the brightly - colored forest. Farm activities, riding, cycling. canoeing. fishing. swimming, sailing and berry -picking are only a few of the summer occupa- tions possible on or near a farm. In winter, there's skiing. snowshoeing, skating, tobogganing, snowmobil- ing or maybe a very special Christmas. All vacation farms are l.overnment-uIspected and the host families are c hosen for their sense of hospitality After the initial "how -do -you -do," visitors are no longer strangers. At Vercheres, Mascouche or Iberville, Quebec, a family can enjoy a French- Canadian farm vacation a few minutes away from Montreal, the second- largest French-speaking city in the world, after Paris. Besides normal farm ac- tivities, one Ibervdle farm has bicycles and tents, while a Mascouche cattle and dairy farm has tents, a sugar bush and fishing. At Vercheres there is a riding farm where vaca- tioners can watch horses and riders in training or take part themselves. Nearby Montreal is a cosmopolitan city of three million with the smoothest subwav (Le Metro) in the world, the National League's Expos baseball team and an incomparable choice of gourmet restaurants. At Saint -Michel, 40 km (25 miles) from Quebec City, there's a farm house with room for two persons while a second house on the pro- perty can accommodate five. It's a dairy farm with a woodlot intersected by a creek. There's fishing, swimming. riding and golf close by and the historic ci- ty of Quebec is an added bonus. Quebec has been called the cradle of New France. the Gibraltar of America and every summer becomes the split-level city that speaks two languages. It is probably the most European of all North American cities. It sits high on cliffs overlooking the mighty St. Lawrence River and the Isle d'Orleans, against the backdrop of the Laurentian Mountains. For more on Quebec farm vacations, contact the Federation des Agricotours du Quebec, 515 avenue Viger, Montreal ML 2P2. Canada's capital, Ottawa, is a city of parks, museums and elegant embassies. Its chief attraction, the Parlia- ment Buildings, is the delight of countless visitors each year, especially in summer when the colorful Changing the Guard ceremony takes place on Parliament Hill. The Rideau Canal, filled with pleasure boats in sum- mer is turned into the longest man-made skating rink in the world in winter. Ottawa has at least 10 museums where there is no entrance fee but which have contents that are priceless. Just west of the city, less than 56 km (35 miles) away, are some fine mixed farming vacation farms. One at Almonte has horses, cattle, sheep and chickens. The family children give riding and swimming lessons and there's a camper available for those who prefer to "rough" it. Another at Carleton Place offers tome cooked meals, a maple sugar bush, a swimming pool and the use of the family washer and dryer. Besides the usual cows, horses. chickens, cats and dogs, this farm has a pony. There are several vaca- tion farms in the Ac- ton Erin area of Ontario, about 56 km (35 miles) west of Toronto, a modern city of three million. Their site varies between six and 40 ha (15 to 100 acres) and all are in gently rolling hills with wooded Their activities include bird watching, rowing, supervised swimming, riding and handicrafts. Depending on the farm, children can have a great time feeding ducks, geese, chickens and rabbits. They may have a chance to milk a goat, gather eggs, bake bread or do a little pottery or macrame. Rates and accommoda- tion vary so it is necessary to make arrangements ahead of time by contac- ting the Ontario Farm Vacation Association, R. R. 2, Erin, Ontario NOB ITO. Toronto is now known the world over for the CN Tower, the highest free- standing structure in the world. The city is also the financial and cultural heart of Canada. It is the home of the Toronto Symphony Or- chestra, the Canadian Opera Company and the National Ballet of Canada. Old Fort York is a reminder of the War of 1812 and the Canadian National Exhibition (in August) is the oldest and largest an- nual exhibition in the world. Add to all this fine cuisine and outstanding shopping opportunities and Toronto should rank high with anyone. On the west coast, Van- couver occupies one of the most beautiful sites anywhere. It fronts on the blue waters of the Strait of Georgia and enjoys a spec- tacular Coast Mountains' backdrop. Where else can one ski in the morning and sail at the foot of a mountain in the afternoon? Vancouver has the largest Chinatown on the conti- nent, after San Francisco, and there are so many eastern European shops and restaurants on Robson Street that many people call it Robson strasse. Stanley Park and the numerous other parks inn the city are enjoyed year- round. Morningside is on your side 'Raw 114ow 'Row Morningside ARTS & CRAFT SHOW Man AND SALE The Fraser River flows in- to the Pacific at Vancouver and along its fertil valley are a couple of vacation farms within an hour's drive of Vancouver. The White Grove Farm at Matsqui is 80 km (50 miles) from Vancouver via the Trans -Canada Highway. It's a dairy farm sur- rounded by mountains and there's fishing right on the spot, besides the normal farm activities. The Four Seasons Hobby Farm at Aldergrove, 58 km (37 miles) from Van- couver, is smaller but just as much fun. Activities in- clude riding, hiking, swim- ming and pig, sheep, cattle and poultry husbandry. Both farms are also close to Harrison Hot Springs resort, historic Fort Langley and the Vancouver Game Farm in Aldergrove. For more information contact Tourism British Columbia, 1117 Wharf St., Victoria, British Columbia, V8W 2Z2. Farm vacations are available from coast to coast in Canada. Some farms are close to the ocean or a lake while others are in mountain country or in vast prairie land. There is plenty to do at all of them but, best of all, they offer a chance to relax and get away from it all, and to enjoy close contact with nature. And farm vacations are affordable.

Some models have two- storey entrance halls, some have French doors at the dining room (always separate), but all the designs are easy to decorate, whether by young people with few furnishings or older ones with treasures to display. Common sense governs the placing of incidentals one must live with every day: hall closets. side doors, stairs, are all where they should be; laundry rooms are on the gourd floor: the forced air gas furnace is not in the centre of the full basement so that the builder saves on ducting but the owner must forever walk around the thing. One feels in the houses an awareness of the real people who will call them "home". For the bill -payers there are master suites (sometimes at the back of the house) occupying at least one-third if not half of the second floor. For the family, there are two -and -a -half bathrooms in all, ample closet space, doors that open in the right direction, kitchens with enough counter space!

Once a year the Ombudsman submits a formal report to the Legislature on his work, and this report a reviewed by an all -party Committee of the Legislature, known as the Select Committee on the Om- bud6man. In the course of running any government, there are bound to be times when some citizens feel they have been treated unfairly. Their complaints may arise through some action that has been taken (or neglected) by any branch of the Government, elected or Sometimes complaints are based on simple of government pro. cedures or individual rigida. Other cases arise from serioug injustices that should be remedied. Whatever the cause, people's complaints deserve consideration. In Ontario, complaints about the Provincial government may be in- vestigated by the Ombudsman. Under the power given to ham by the I&gislature, the Om- budsman and his staff can investigate your complains one�recomm ationns ignored byyts impartially. If a branch of the provinicial government, he can take the matter to the Premier or the I agislatua+e. In other wards, he can use a lot of persuasion in the right places. There are some kinds of problems the Ombudsman cannot deal with. For instance, being an Ontario official, he cannot deal with federal matters (such as postal service or unemployment insurance cheques), or municipal govern- ment problems ( such as garbage collection or by-law en- forcement). Some provincial matters too, are necessarily beyond his power, such as courts and judges. Even so, the Ombudsman's work does encompass a wide range of con- cerns such as workmen's compensation, ONW, family benefits, retail sales tax, and many others. If you have an unresolved complaint and aren't sure whether it falls within the Ontario Ombudsman's scope of duties, it is a good idea to inquire anyway. Someone of the Ombudsman's staff will tell you whether he can be of ser- vice in your case. It's best to think of the Ombudsman as a last resort, the person who tries to help you after all other approaches have failed. You may fie a complaint with his office by telephone. letter or personal visit, to the Office of the Om- bumdsmnan, 125 Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario MSS 2C7. If the Ombudsman investigates a complaint for you, he will provide you with a complete report. Regardless of the outcome of this investigation, there is no fee charged. And you can be sure that no matter what the complaint, it will be received in confidence, as a private matter between you and the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman's office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. but you can telephone at any hour and leave a message. A staff member will get back to you as quickly as possible. The office of the Ombudsman has been set up by the On- tario Legislature to protect and defend yon rights. If all other avenues have faded, take your complaint or problem to him. Speaking To You Scott Fennell M.P. Ontario Riding Last week I spoke m the House of Commons arguing that members of Parliament should have an opportunity to vote freely on the issue of capital punishment. It's my opinion that the last vote an this subject described by the govern- ment as free, was not. Liberal MP's, hungry for party ap proval and perhaps cabinet posts, did not dare cross swords with Prime llfinister TYudeau. I have written previously on my reasons for supporting capital punishment for first degree murder. In this column I'd like to concentrate on why I think the issue should be decided by elected politicians and not by national referen- dum. I believe the referendum approach is a chicken-bearted way for uKkc ive politicians to puss the buck to the people who elected them. It should be required that politicians make their positions known to their constituents on all issues, and they should do so loudly on those which are im- portant enough to warrant the contemplation of a referen- dum. MP's are elected to-do a job. When we urge a national referendum we're saying that we can't do that job, that we can't make the decisions we were elected to make. So a referendum is a bucking of our responsibility. People want to enjoy their lives, to work, and most are involved in politics only during elections. They don't have the time for all the reading and debating and studying that politicians have. They elect us to make decisions on their behalf. I think a genuinely free vote in the House, without threats from party leaders andparty whips, would accurately reflect the will of the Canadian people. My guess is that that will wants the death penalty reinstated and it is compatible with my own views and conscience. I would have no trouble voting yes to such a proposal. tKe Edeliafer 683-7264 or Gayel White 683-1188. CHESS CLUB Interested in chess?
