Shown from left to right are Hostess Gayle Plewes explain- ( Photo - Diane Matheson) Report From Ottawa by Scott Fennell, MP Ontario Riding I would like to respond to a distortion deliberately made by Finance Minister Allan MacEachen in his defence of his new budget. He has desperately tried to present it as a 'redistributive' budget and he cheerfully mouths the words make the rich Pay'. He very much wants middle class Canadians to think that they have company in their suffering. His budget, in fact, raises taxes. It is true that the marginal tax rate decreases. But it decreases by a substantial amount only for the very wealthy. The vast majority of Canadians receive only a small rate cut. The tax cut for the poor is practically negligible. This would be better than nothing but Mr. MacEachen couldn't leave well enough alone. He is dramatically taxing benefits and loopholes. Now the words 'benefits' and 'loopholes' are usually associated with the well-off. This is why Mr. MacEachen thinks he can get away with saying he's socking it to the rich. Who he is really devastating is the middle and lower mid- dle income groups - especially people just getting their families started. Hard-won benefits negotiated by auto _ unions are now taxed. Secretaries in the $12,000 to $15,000 a year range will pay more tax if they have a Blue Cross or a dental plan arrangement with their employers. Young business people and farmers with fluctuating incomes lose an averaging method which had saved them money. The salesman at $20,000 a year with a company car pays more. Young professionals who have scraped money together for a Registered Retirement Savings Plan now pay more. All of these items are loopholes and benefits. Yet to hear Mr. MacEachen tell it, only the big guys with banker's hours and chauffeured limos will be squeezed. Wrong. They and their tax lawyers are laughing. It is the middle class who is sacrificing so that the federal govern- ment can increase its Spending by 22% this year. Mr. MacEachen's financial plans simply mean more for Ottawa and less for you. r :::� } ::�:::.......:• Vis•........ ... .::f:•. .. I* 4k Tom Howa rd, to town clerk, Bruce Taylor, said that Councillor Robertson had- complained about the unsightly appearance of Brock .and Bayly St. as a result of a number of illegal .signs having been placed on regional road allowances and private property. Mr. Howard said he had been advised verbally not to enforce the provisions of the sign by-law and asked for advice from council. He said that he felt it was discriminatory to issue violation notices to a few sign owners and not all areas of the town. Jim Murry said there was great confusion about mobile signs and he com- plained that the town had failed to take legal action against the owner of the Property he leases. He suggested that everybody should abide by the same rules and because of this problem he had had considerable stress. Councillor Norah Stoner asked him if his lawyer didn't advise him to get an occupancy permit when be moved in. She said he shouldn't be in the store. Murray said he didn't know anything about an oc- cupancy permit. Mayor Jack Anderson commented that "lots of people have not had oc- drpancy permits. After this debate, menders of council ques- tioned Town Manager Noel -? Marshall about the sign by- law and what it meant. Some contusion seems to exist in this by-law but council did not attempt at this meeting to make any It Was A Very Cold Day The Santa Claus parade was held recently but it picked the coldest day (Sat.

Two of the groups or floats are seen here. (Photos - Bob Watson) Page 2'THE NEWSMOST Wed. Drat. 9, 198'1 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Fire Bouey It has been our policy for some many months to let local MP's know that we are unhappy about the financial policy as planned by the head of the Bank of Canada, Gerald Bouey. A few days ago, Mr. Bouey again declared emphatically that his policy of using high interest rates to control infla- tion would continue until inflation is wrestled into the ground. Presumably the Trudeau government is backing this idea because it has not made any move to replace Mr. Bouey or, at least, direct him to change his policy. We have editorialized more than once about this topic, but we feel it is important that we Canadians pressure the politicians to change this policy, which has been proven to be a complete failure. Well, of course, Mr. Bouey feels that he has held inflation down to 13%, but most Canadians who live in the real world believe that his policy has created us a much bigger monster called "recession". We predicted some months ago that the economy would stop in its tracks as a result of this idiotic policy and now the slow statistics are coming in proving what most of us in the marketplace already knew, that the economy is stopped in its tracks. Most of our problems are directly related to the high in- terest rate demanded by the Bank of Camila. It is a policy derived from a mentality from the 1930's and it is not remotely related to the economies of today. It is difficult to comprehend why the Trudeau government allows this con- tinual deliberate decline in our economy. Just because the rest of the western world is in recession doesn't necessarily mean that our country should be. After all, we are sitting on more resource assets per person than anyone eke, we have skills and a workforce capable of great production_ However, when the federal government brings down a budget which asks for 16% plus extra and the inflation rate is only 13%, it tells one that the reason the Trudeau govern- ment doesn't fine Bogey is that it is using him to cover up their own lack of ability to balance the budget. As long as there is inefficiency of money use at Ottawa then our economy sill not correct itself. In the meantime Trudeau & Co. are asking the rest of us to pay the high cost of wasted federal funds. Marching Band Dear Sir: Did you know that Scarborough has a "Marching Band"? An awful lot of Scarborough people don't know about leas, and we're having a terrible time reaching the people in such a large borough. The Cardinals is a marching band for boys and girls from age 11 through 21. We provide these youngsters with the in- strument; we teach them to read music; we teach them to play the instrument; we provide them with a uniform. Most importantly, they need NO experience of any kind. This marching band is a little different from most, in that we do not use wood -winds. Ale our show is meant for half- time at a football game, we find wood -winds do not project far enough to make their use feasible. Our brass section consists of trumpets, french horns. meflophomums, mar- ching baritones, and tubas. Our percussion section runs the full gamut of snare. multi -tenor, tympani, bass, cymbals, and keyboard ( mallet ) . In addition to the musicians, we have a section for a very special type of majorettes. These majorettes don't twirl batons, but I can't begin to describe what they do. You have to see it, to believe it. The Cardinals travel all summer, in competition, throughout Ontario, Quebec, and the northeastern United States. We are virtually unlimited as to the number of members we can take in, but now is the time to join, to travel next summer as a member of Scarborough's own marching band. For information, call 690--s299 and ask for Paul or Bev. Any assistance you might give us, would be most ap- preciated. We sure would like to have a bunch more youngsters with us.

Twenty-one year old Margie Taylor has won over 1000 trophies for her twirling skills from two and a half years of age. Now a teacher in the Scarborough Bendale Lions Drum & Bugle Corps, Margie is giving her knowledge to newcomers. Her full time oc- cupation is studying at college but her other in- terests include dancing, teaching dancing and modelling. It all started in the Scarborough Majorette School back in 1960 and two years later at age 4 Margie became the mascot for the Scarborough Bendale Lions Baton Corps. At 10 she began competitions, winning the Miss Majorette of Scarborough four times and winning or runnerup in numerous other local, national or world class competitions. At 11 Margie began assistant teaching and three years later she taught her first provincial champion. In 1977 she took over as head instructor for the Scarborough Bendale Lions Drum and Baton Corps, having turned just 17, and fourears later Margie retired from competition to devote her time to instruction. Just a wee tot, Margie was a keen twirler right from the start FAIJ 1&:4" ` Margie Taylor was seen this season teaching some exercises to Chantal Close, Nancy Jo Tomlin, Beverly Charles, Krista Pearen and Shelley Brannen.

That's right! - controllers agreed to those knitting needles? 50 cents! The item before Board of Control was the awarding of a contract to construct storm relief sewers on a section of Warden Ave. The contractor submitting the lowest bid had made a mathematical error of 50 cents. Nevertheless, staff recommended that the con- tract be awarded to this bid at the corrected price of 50t less than that originally submitted. The argument centred on whether the bid was a for- mal one because of the er- ror. Staff told the con- trollers that they had award the contract to the bid in question at the price originally submitted. This means the borough loses However, when you con- sider the length of the discussion and the fact that 12 senior staff members, all earning top salaries, had to sit through the debate, in addition to the Mayor and four con- trollers, a quick calculation of earnings by all these people reveals that the argument cost about $200, substantially more than the 50t the borough could have saved. 4 Carrier Routes Open! Deliver this newspaper to homes and apartments EARN EXTRA MONEY for information Call 291-2583 s Robert Owen, a Scarborough broker who has been in the real estate business for 28 years, will succeed Sadie Moranis as President of the Toronto Real Estate Board on Jan. 6th. A director since 1976, he has been a vice-president for the past two years. Since 1965 he has headed his own firm, Robert Owen Real Estate Limited. Mr. Owen grew up in Toronto's Cabbagetown and has lived in Scarborough for many years. He is fiercely proud of Metro Toronto as a world-class city. He believes that co- operation between business organizations and municipal councils is essential so that the decision-making process keeps economic issues in focus. The recent creation of an Economic Development Planning Committee in Scar- borough was a good idea, as was Metro's decision to develop an economic strategy, the new TREB leader said. "I plan to meet with the Mayors of the six Metro municipalities individually and with the Metro Chairman to discuss ways in which the views and advice of real estate professionals could be made available to Councils and com- mittees in a constructive way," Mr. Owen said. We may not agree with some of the policies being follow- ed by a Council at any particular time, and there could be subjects on which we would simply agree to disagree. However, there is much to support and commend and I think it is important to open good lines of communication for saying so. "rbe real estate business thrives in Metropolitan Toronto basically because it is such a good city. In June, 1982, we will be welcoming real estate people from 40 countries at- tending a World Congress of the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCD and there is no better time to say how proud we are of the neighborhoods and comaunuties in which we practice. The past acconhp... its and future prospects of Metro's cities and boroughs reflect genera- tions of good decision-making. Real estate people are prod to serve the public in an area where the tradition of good local government is so strong. Mr. Owen was bora in Toronto in 1923. His father, who had come to Canada from North Wales before the First World War, had operated a farm in the Oshawa area owned by R.S. McLaughlin The family moved to Toronto shortly after the war and lived on Eastern Avenue, close to the Sackville Street School where Robert Owen's education began. He later attended Park School on Shuter Street. As with members of many large families in the 1930s. economic conditions gave workforce experience priority over formal schooling. The paperboy whose stand was at Carlton and She bouuae went to work for Robertson's Chocolates and then the Christie Biscuit Company. At 18 be enlisted in the Canadian Army and at 19 he was in England with the Royal Canadian Engineers.

I can see your eye -brows raising in disbelief - but you see most of the journey is in my mind. When I board the train at Rouge Hill Station I always choose a window seat overlooking the lake and settle down, eager for my journey to begin. As we pull out of the sta- tion and slowly gather speed, Lake Ontario un- folds beside me, stretching as far as the eye can see. On a beautifully clear sun- ny day the water can take on an azure hue and that is when I am in the Greek Islands, sitting on a craggy cliff gazing out to sea. Another morning I may visit the South Pacific, whilst yet another takes me along the shores of the sun- ny Mediterranean. What a wealth of diamonds "My Lake" holds, produced by the ear- ly morning sun, ever mov- ing as if to follow us in a long glittering path! Sometimes our passage is rough, as white horses leap across the grey expanse, shivering in a sunless world. Another day the calm and ripple -free expanse mir- rors the rocks and even the gulls and mallards as they skim along. In the Winter My Lake often puts on a sombre cloak, covered with trillions of tufts of white Let's Discuss It The "Let's Discuss It" groups meet in several Scarborough Public Libraries each week and are co-sponsored by the Canadian Mental Health Association. Let's Discuss It sessions are held every Tuesday afternoon at 1:311 p.m. at Morningside Branch, Mor- ningside Mall at Kingston Rd. The program is designed to help alleviate some of the stresses and feelings of isolation often created by modern urban living. It is for women of all ages who want to explore new ideas, make new friends and discover more about themselves. It offers women a chance to get out of the house and relax, a chance to share their thoughts and feelings with other women in an infor- mal, friendly atmosphere. There is no child care pro- vided at the Morningside Branch session. For more information on this group please call either Esther Repal, 2644WI2 or Audrey Reeve at 294-4462.

Winter also has its com- pensations for, whilst it is sometimes more difficult to slip away to the warm South Seas, on those days a Winter Wonderland un- folds, producing small in- dented white cliffs which ring the lake, growing each day until the milder Spring temperatures break them down and they are no more. On many of these Winter days I watch the sun rise loo. Have you ever watched the sun rising out of the water? How quickly it moves before your very eyes from a tiny orange glow to a flaming ball of fire, within minutes, soar- ing into the sky of yet another day, daubing the lake from its limitless palette of myriad hues. On the days she dons her cloak of smooth gray satin with its pale orange sheen, I know that rain will not be far behind. All this beauty is included in the price of my train ticket and what an ex- hilarating start it gives to my day, but what a let down on those days when I step on to the train to find all the window seats already occupied and I have to be content with small glimpses of my Utopia, particularly when those fellow commuters who have `stolen' my view sit with noses glued to books, oblivious to all the beauty they are missing. Then I think, maybe they are also travelling thousands of miles through the media of their favourite writer. Don't tell anyone else my secret or they may raise the price of our tickets once again!

Tough Love Comes To Scarborough On Thursday. A community service sup- port group for parents troubled by teenage behaviour has been started in Scarborough by Mrs. Jean Millar. The Scarborough branch is the fourth such group to establish in the Toronto area to assist parents fac- ing teenage drug and alcohol problems, trouble in school, with the law and in the home. The Tough Love concept, originated in the United States by Phyllis and David York five years ago, is a fast growing movement designed to help parents use community resources and teach them how to take a stand, face their crisis and fund support. Mrs. Millar and other con- cerned parents came together for their founding meeting in the Scar- borough Civic Centre just two weeks ago and are now booked to meet weekly every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Parents who recognize the feelings of helplessness and isolation in dealing with their problem teenagers will find strong and sym- pathetic support from the new orgaziation. Further information can be obtained by calling Jean Millar at 431-4941, Sylvia Watkins at 694-9693 or Con- troller Joyce Trimmer at 296-7274, an enthusiastic supporter of the Tough Love principle.

Ing, white gowns sparkling with tinsel and stars held high, our Sunday School pupils presented the story of the Littlest Angel for parents and friends. The girls reading did very well and of course the little star was a boy who enjoyed his part very much and looked very proud as he took his place to shine down on the stable. The wise men also were very noble looking as they knelt with their gifts. Con- gratulations to the children and their teachers for a fine Christmas presenta- tion. Gayle and Bob Feeney with children Stacey and Christoper lit the Advent Candle of Joy. Following service the usual coffee and hospitality hour took place and it is encouraging to see more people par- ticipating and especially the newer families mixing and becoming better ac- quainted. Next week we celebrate the Sacrament of the Last Supper and receive new members into our con- gregation. The Official Board met again with Grant Meser from Presbytery and discussed the pros and cons of our ongoing program. Some possibilities were scrapped and others still require more discussion which will take place after the holidays. Besides the regular Sun- day services be sure to make note of our special Christmas Eve Commu- nion with an hour of Christmas music at ten and service at 11 followed by a brief social hour with our minister and his wife as our host and hostess. This is•a busy time of year but let us remember the real reason for Christmas and not become too involv- ed in the rush of things to do and forget the Christ Child and what His birth has meant down through the generations. Take time out to think and Joni us each Sunday for worhip as we light the Ad- vent Candles and hang our banners depicting the various aspects of the season. Our friendship is great and we have room for all who care to join with us. Scarboro Cable WED.

Dec. 9, 1981 Bill Watt s World ON STAGE: The holiday attraction at the Royal Alex is A DAY IN HOLLYWOOD. A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE. It's ac- tually two one act presenta- tions with little to tie them together except that they're both salutes to Hollywood's golden age from 1931 to 1951. A Day is presented in cabaret fashion and is a collage ( one can't be unkind enough to call it a mish mash) of songs and dances. Most of the songs are melodic and tuneful. We mean the ones by such composers as Hoagy Car- michael, Gus Kahn, Cole Porter and, of course, Richard Whiting. But, there are also a few by Jerry Herman and, as ex- pected, they're tuneless. He hasn't written anything really worthwhile since Hello Dolly and it was "borrowed" from the song Sunflower. There's some pretty good hoofing and by and large, one can find little to criticize. Well, maybe a MATTRESS PROBLEMS • RETURNED LIKE NEW • EXPERTLY REPAIRED MEDIUM FIRM OR EXTRA FIRM 2 -DAY SERVICE ONTARIO BEDDING COMPANY 2M2M dragging time step or two but that was surely due to first night unfamiliarity with the stage. The set is designed sup- posedly like the lobby of Grauman's Chinese Theatre and frankly, looks just this side of tacky in the Alex. Suitable for cabaret or dinner theatre perhaps but definitely not my Alex. A Night is a satire of Chekhov's The Bear as it might have been presented by the Marx Brothers. It's funny, really funny .. for its first quarter hour. Then, it starts to drag. Not sur- prising really. We defer to no one in our admiration of the Marx Brothers but even we can take just so much of them. As a reviewer we were of course contained to re- main to the end. Many, however, left early. Come to that, there were some who didn't come back after intermission. They missed something as A Night is the better of the two presenta- tions. If only it could be shortened just a tad. And, if we only knew why composer and performer George Lazarus elected to give Richard Whiting the voice of George Burns. Strange . . IN THE CLUBS: Without any doubt the finest of the North American big bonds were the superb aggrega- tions put together by Artie Shaw.

Over the years though, we've often wada^ed why he never us- ed the brilliant talents of Nelson Riddle. Anyway, Nelson Riddle is at the Imperial Room until December 18th leading a 17 piece orchestra for dancing and in concert. What a treat - dancing to those gorgeous sounds and then enjoying a highball or a cocktail while sitting, listening to a presentation of Mr. Riddle's better known compositions and arrangements. Lisbon An- tigua is the second best big band arrangement ever. (We place it second to Artie Shaw's Frenesi only because one can dance to the latter.) Mr. Riddle's musicianship is sure and his conducting technique smoothly precise enabling him to get the very best from all his musi- cians. We're not going to say more. After all, how many ways are there to describe excellence? Just get down to the Imperial Room and enjoy. And, look for me . . I'm going back Fred Astaire, eat your heart out! PARTY TIME: We've reviewed the recordings of Raffi in this space before. Raffi is the young man who makes children's albums of considerable musical value. They're melodic, they're literate and, above all, enjoyable. Last week we attended a party in Sutton Place to celebrate the sale of over 500,000 of his albums for Troubador Records. Good party it was too. Good honest wines, fine food ( try fresh prawns followed by kiwi fruit and pineapple in combination. Earthbound ambrosia' ) and great guests. Affairs of this kind have been known to be dull but this one cer- tainly wasn't! Our thanks to hard working Rob Williams the P.R. man for Troubador for inviting us. And, we still say he looks like John Denver. BILLY D. KIDD'S NOTEBOOK: We're unable to attend the special taping that's taking place tonight at Hamilton Place. That's the special starring George Burns. David Hamilton of Global TV (No David, they haven't renam- ed Hamilton Place just for you. It's always been called that.) tells us that the special is to be seen on American hone box office TV initially and then shown in Canada over Global some time next year. It's possible that a few tickets might still be available. Call 1-900-26346972. Entry forms are now available at squash clubs throughout the province for the Fourth Annual Squash Ontario Charity Classic in benefit of the Ontario Heart Foundation. Sponsored by Fleischmann's, the margarine people, the tour- nament is open to all squash players from novice class to veteran.

Formerly a mainstay with the Count Basie band, Mr. Davis was orginany influenced by Col- eman Hawkins, Ben Webster and Don Byas and it shows in his fine honking tenor sax. BOOK NOOK: One of the continuing difficulties that this scribbler faces is the preparation of meaningful reviews of books while they are still new. Sometimes because of the large numbers received we ford it necessary to prepare capsule reviews. As the holiday gift buying season reaches its peak it becomes a virtual necessity. The brevity of the folowing critiques therefore. does not reflect off handedness on our part but rather the tyranny of time and space. THE CHILDREN'S STORY by James Clavell ( Doubleday) . Quite unlike anything one might expect from the author of Shogun. This is a short book easily readable in about twenty minutes maximum. But, oh my, is it frightening! We don't want to give away 'too much but we can safely tell you that this gem of a book illustrates how the minds of children can be manipulated into believing anything. Arid, it can be done in just 25 minutes. Considering our nation's so called leaders, this book should be mandatory reading for all parents. TOM LONGBOAT (Fit- zhenry and Whitesides). This is written, and quite well too, by former Olym- pic runner Bruce Kidd. It's the story of the Canadian Indian whom many con- sider to have been the finest long distance runner of all time. Mr. Kidd has done his research well and his writing style makes the book more than just the historical narrative it might have been. More compelling however than Tann Longboat's spor- ting triumphs is the man- ner in which the author has pointed out the overt discrimination practised and still practised against our Interest to have con- firmed as well our thoughts that supremacy in athletics is becoming more and more the province of a privileged elite. DARWIN AND THE MYSTERIOUS MR. "X" by Loren Eisley (Academic Press, Canada). We have an idea that academics might poo poo this book. We have a further idea that many laymen might hesitate to read it. Certain- ly the subject matter might appear to be weighty. It has to do with whether or not Darwin was the sole creator of the theory of evolution. ( Clearly he was not) but in order to reach or suggest a conclusion, it's necessary to consider and explain evolution. Well, for our money Mr. Eiseley has done an ex- cellent job of simplifying it without ever talking down to the reader. This is an excellent book and one that can be gift given confidently to anyone. And, for heaven's sake pay no attention to the savants. Overpaid intellec- tual twits! In our next column, we hope to list a large number of books and records Suitable for your own en- joyment and as gifts.

Christmas Ent A,ainingOur Ilei h 9 After weeks or months of faithfully staying on our diets to lose unwanted pounds, the thought of Christmas entertain- ing and shopping can create panic in all of us. It doesn't have to be that way, we can still be successful if we follow a few simple tips. 1. First of all plan meals in advance, not only Christmas dinner but pre holiday entertaining and post holiday lef- tovers. 2. Do as much preparation as you can ahead of time, you want to be at your best to enjoy the festivities. 3. Put all tempting foods out of reach or out of sight. Freeze all items not needed immediately. 4. When at a party stay away from the snacks remember Potato chips are good with dips but better for developing hips. If you know that you will be eating late don't arrive hungry. 5. Eating out in restaurants can be easily handled if you follow these simple rules. Know ahead of time what you will eat if possible. Don't look at the menu and URQER FIRST. 6. If you are given chocolates or candies as a gift BE CAREFULL freeze them at once or have a family member put them someplace you won't find them. Our Holiday menu offers a variety of foods which are easily prepared and can be enjoyed by all the family.

With the season quickly approaching, ski buffs are counting the hours before the first snowfall and the first run of the season. What is furthest from the ski buff's mind slight now is winter driving — icy roads, blowing snowdrifts and the white knuckle moments in heavy traffic as they head for their favorite ski spot. This year, Travelways has a better idea. A new economical weekend ski service to Mount St. Louis. For no you get return transportation and an all day lift ticket.

St. Louis pick up spots: Two Design Awards by Gay Abbate Scarborough's urban Design Awards for 19x1 have gone to the Nelson Publishing building on Bir- chmourtt Rd. and to the Agnes MatcPbail Public School at 11.2 Goldhawk Trail. The announcement and presentations were made on Thur. Dec. 3rd by Patricia Petersen, chair- man of the planning board and by Mayor Gus Harris. This is the ninth year that Scarborough has recogniz- ed achievement in urban design with a special award- Edith wardEdith Montgomery, a citizen member on the planning board and a member of the jury, told the more than 150 people present that the goal of ur- ban design is to "improve the quality of the physical environment of the cities.'. In discussing the criteria for selection, Mrs. Mon- tgomery stated that the jury looked beyond ar- chitecture to the "element that changes a building from an isolated structure in the midst of the com- munity to an integral part of our environment." The Nelson Publishing of- fice and warehouse facilities, designed by Akitt Swanson Architect, was given its award for the "evident care and concern shown for the residential neighbours in its tasteful landscaping, modest form and careful detailing," ac- cording to Blandford Gates, a guest jurist and professional architect. The Agnes MacPhail Public School, designed by Zeidler Roberts Partner- ship, has a courtyard as its central focus. The colour of bricks used and the patterns at its win- dows blend the building in- to the surrounding residen- tial community. According to Gates, the that a "good 4esign need not be boring or expensive" while 'pro- viding a lesson in the design of school buildings. A total of 23 projects were nominated for this year's awards. Mrs. Petersen would like to see the awards renamed "Suburban Design Awards" in recognition of the fact that Scarborough is a suburb. Mrs. Petersen believes that the awards should recognize Scar- borough's "innate subu r - ben ness".

Sabres 0 13 0 0 N- Australian Keeps Canadians Fru There is an Aussie in our town Who is the most sensaiwnal woman to hit the squash and racquetball game yet. Heather McKay now is the senior pro and instructor of four major Toronto Clubs - Blow Park, Sherbourne, Dunfield and Parkview under the group known as the Racquet Sports Group of Canada. Heather McKay has literally swept the games remaining unbeaten in squash since 1962 and switching to racquetball in 1979 for another round of title wins. She started in 1959 in Australia in Tennis and moved from local star to international squmsb action. Heather then cleaned up the Australian squash version, moved on to wipe out opposition in the British style of game, and biltzed her American opponents to cliala>< her 20 years of squash - Today the 40 year old Heather dominates a game in- habited by mostly 20 year Olds. According to Sieve Keeley, a racquetball pro who in- structed her, "she is 20% better than most of the other women, because she reads shots so well and hits unex- pected placements. Nobody can match her anticipation, racquet control and court sense". Born on July 31, 1941, in a small town called Queanbeyan, near Canberra, Australia, Heather was the eighth of 11 children. She took up tennis at age 10 and was her town's junior and senior women's champion. At 13 she reamed field hockey and made the town team in this sport. At 18 Heather McKay was looking for a way to keep her legs in shape during the field hockey off-season and began playing squash. She soon ran out of competition and began practicing with men. She surprised herself by winning the junior title in a New South Wales championship and it wasn't long before she was in the senior level competing with Yvonne West. Although she didn't win, her efforts got her a place on the state team in the 1960 Australian nationals. Moving to Sydney she met Brian McKay, a lathe operator by day and a squash instructor by night- They married four years later. In early 1962, Heather won her second Australian title and with funds raised by her home town citizens headed to Bri- tain and a series of wins - in fact, she won the British title 11 times. Working under the coaching of Egyptian Dardir Ali El- Bakary she honed the skills which would make her unbeatable - footwork, anticipation and her special ability to read where an opponent's shot will go even before it's hit. So by 1979 Heather McKay had won 14 Australian cham- pionships, 16 British titles, the only two women's world tournaments ever played, every major trophy in North America - and she played field hockey in her spare time. In 1969 she was awarded the M.B.E. by the Queers and in 1979 got the Order of Australia. Now she is concentrating on racquetball and also instruc- ting for the Racquet Sports Group. She launched her profes- sional racquetball career last January by defeating several male athletes at the Coors All -Pro Racquetball Champion- ship. She followed this up in the WPRA ( Women's Professional Racquetball Association) tournament in June and then beat Shannon Wright in the WPRA championships in July. In August she lost to Wright in the Sundance Classic but won out in September in the Escondido Women's Pro -Am. Now as top woman professional player in the world, Heather from her bungalow home in a quiet residential area of Metro Toronto is trying to get her financial rewards up to that enjoyed by the male athletes in the sport. Racquetball is a fast growing sport and Heather McKay hopes to get the female side of this sport into the top money just as the men's side does. Look out, fellows, this woman has won almost everything she has attempted. A J Cedar Hill Nindr' Hockey'League As of Nov. 19 to Nov. 26 NOVICE 7 Harris' Drive -In 1 Dunn's Raiders 4 J. Harding ; D.

But much of the discussion and criticism that has gone on has not been based in fact. A few weeks ago, a fuss was made about a draft bill, a piece of legislation to amend the McMichael Canadian Col- lection Act, which Culture and Recreation Minister Reuben Baetz was planning to introduce. Accusations were made by the Opposition and in the press which were simply not true. Now that the bill has been introduced we can correct these misconceptions. For instance, it has been reported that alterations will be made to the beautiful building which houses the Collection to cover all the log walls, make the windows smaller and generally disfigure the gallery. What is actually being done to the building is to make it fire safe — both for the public and for the works of art — and make it more accessible to people in wheelchairs. The pre- sent construction of the building, while very attractive, is unsafe. If a fire were to break out, people could be lost or trapped in the rambling building. As well, the gallery was not equipped to fight any fire. Steps are now being taken to improve this situation. A fire route allowing fire vehicles access to all parts of the building is being built. A 200,000 gallon buried reservoir is being installed to provide a primary water supply for fire fighting, and a water pipe to the river is also being placed as a secondary source of water. Lightening protection is go- ing to be added, and landscaping will be done to co-ordinate all these alterations with the existing surroundings. Inside the building, installation of smoke and fire detection systems, a sprinkler system, and a new heating and cooling system will make the building safer. New ramps and stairs are being constructed, both for handicapped people and for fire exit purposes. To sum it up, the gallery is not being torn down, rebuilt or by Dolores H Tues. Nov. 24, was "Careers Day" at Picker- ing High. The purpose d such an event is to provide students with a practical awareness of the profes- sion they wish to specialize in. Alex Law, local newspaper editor was one of the guest speakers who participated in the pro - grain. He captured the at- tention of all present. A journalist must attract and maintain the reader's eye, he said. "Attitude is crucial" explained Mr. Law. "You've got to love yaw job, expecially when you've got a six a.m. deadline to meet! Yes' it's definitely got to be in your blood. Nobody enjoys the taste of stale reporting. Either you have it or you don't... However, a flair for the business can't compete with a degree. Yet hand in hand you'll get there. Mr. Law suggested that students take advantage of a university with a large resource centre and read and read and read. He also discussed the ad- vantages and disadvan- tages to the newspaper business. You get the best seats in the house, front row. Some stories involve travel. This is part of the glamorous side. Unfortunately, there is the other side, and it's not so glamorous. It must feel awful to have to question a grieving relative of the deceased or ask him or her to locate a picture. Can you imagine being at the scene of a deadly crash with debris scattered all over the bloody pavement' I agree that's not nice, but it's got to be reported by some glamorous reporter. How any story is actually reported is extremely im- portant as there is always the danger of a law -suit to slap you in the face. "You're always offending someone, somewhere," says Mr. Law. Girls' Basketball On Fri. Nov. 27th, the Pickering junior and midget girls' basketball teams were busy battling for a berth into the LOSSA final. The junior squad had to face a tough team from Eastdale in their semi-final game that was played at disfigured. Necessary alterations and improvements are being made for the good of the art itself, and for the conve- nience and safety of the public. And, every effort is being made to ensure that the additions are in keeping with the at- mosphere of the gallery. As far as the administration of the Collection is concerned, there are no provisions in the new legislation to allow the art works to be sold willy-nilly. In fact, under the new bill, sales of art will be even more limited, because they will always require the consent of the donor. Works have been sold from the Collection in the past, on a limited basis, and will continue to be sold, still on a limited basis. All art galleries maintain and improve their collec- tions this way. The new bill will also enshrine, for the first time, a require- ment that the Collection focus on art by the Group of Seven and on Native Canadian art. And, in the same words as the original agreement establishing the Collection in 1965, it will also allow for the acquisition and display of work by "other artists who have made contributions to the develop- ment of Canadian Art." The bill will also create a new position of Founder Director -Emeritus, provide a salary for it, and stipulate that Mr. Robert McMichael fill that position. This is done in recognition of Mr. and Mrs. McMichael's contribution of the gallery, the land, and the original collection which formed the basis of the McMichael Canadian Collection of today. Since the original agreement was made in 1965, the Gallery has expanded with both the building and the Collec- tion growing in size. The 1965 agreement was amended in 1972 in recognition of these changes. and the new legislation serves the same purpose. The Collection is not a static thing. It is growing and changing all the time and the legislation which safeguards it mast move with the times. News From Pickering Pis G.L. Roberts. The Picker- action -packed with well- ing team fell short of winn- ing after a very tight first half. The final scare was 41-36 in favor of Eastdale. This concluded the basketball season for the Pickering juniors. They had a fine season. The Pickering midgets played against Cartwright on Friday for their senu- fmal match. After a long drawn out game which went into overtime, Picker- ing came on top to win 28-25. This qualified them for the finals on Saturday. The Pickering squad headed into the game with an unbeaten record, but in the final game they were defeated by Uxbridge. The Pickering team had trouble bringing the ball down the court because of the good pressure put on by Ux- bridge. Mrs. Allen, the coach of the Pickering team, felt that the usual good passing by Pickering was less ef- fective because of the tight defense from Uxbridge. The final outcome was 29-13. High School Awards The Pickering High School Awards assembly took place on Fri. Nov. 27th. Students who had earned recognition in the three main areas of school; academic work, athletics, and activities, received awards. A special award was presented to Sophie Lussier, our exchange stu- dent from Quebec. Many students were honoured for their achievements on Fri- day. We congratulate them all on their efforts. The wiz Practices of the play, "The Wiz", are well under- way. The sets are being designed, and plenty of paper mache is being mold- ed into props. The players are quickly learning their lines. Scenes are being rehearsed with enthusiasm. Everyone is doing his best so that this really will be a grand per- formance. Romeo b Juliet On Dec. 2 students in years two, three, four, and five saw the screen version of Romeo do Juliet. The movie was held in the gym, and there was a full house. The movie was staged fight scenes. There were sensitive love scenes. There was hardly a dry eye in the house. All in all it was a good movie. Off To Ouebec This Jan. 17, a group Pickering High School students along with their chaperone, and co- ordinator, Mr. Mansera, will be leaving for Quebec. There. they will spend four days skiing and par- ticipating in all kinds of winter sports, while taking classes in a French immer- sion program. The lodge where they will stay. will have a French- speaking staff, and the students will certainly get a great deal of practice in speaking and understan- ding Quebec's native language. ON STAFF Pickering High School has seen a turn -over in faculty members this year. As a result a number of un- familiar faces have been spotted stalking the halls. A few of these newcomers are not only rookies to Pickering High School but also to the profession of teaching. One such person is Mr. Zowkewych, who has found a home in the schools business department. After graduating from McMaster University, Mr. Zowkewyeh soon embark- ed on his business career as an accountant with a Toronto firm. Five years later he accepted a job in Peterborough as Super- visor of Accounting where he remained for two years. Obviously he has a deep well of practical business knowledge from which he may draw. Mr. Zowkewych then attended the Faculty of Education at the Univer- sity of Toronto to obtain his immediate goal of becom- ing a teacher. One has to wonder what prompted such a decisive career change. Mr. Zowkewych explains that he responded to, "the challenge of planning and organizing educational ac- tivities that will aid students in preparing for a responsible and mean- ingful career and life after high school..' He incorporates the employer-employee struc- ture into his business High classes. When asked for personal comments regar- ding Pickering High School. Mr. Zowkewych suggests "Improved cocn- munication links with parents by involving them o f in the over all education of their children-" He feels this mast be "co ordinated with the teachers, school ad- ministration, and the school board". Mr. Zowkewych has also managed to become athletically involved with the students. He coaches the track team and has a successful decathalon record in his support. In high jump he has mastered 6 feet 8 inches. It appears that the track team will be run by very capable feet and our Mr. Zowkewych seems to be on the right track! INTERSCHOOL CHRIS- TIAN FELLOWSHIP The Interschool Christian Fellowship club is doing just fine. There are about nine members in the group now, and every Wednesday meet ch time or after school.
