Evacuation
Centre
In the event of a major
fire, Pickering Town Coun-
cil has agreed to let the
Durham Area Housing
Authority use the East
Shore Community Centre
as an evacuation centre for
the town's semw citizen
housing projects -
Council had authorized
the Durham Regional
Police last year to utilize
town owned or operated
facilities in the event of an
emergency situation.
Whitby Study
George Ashe, Minister of
Revenue and MPP for
Durham -west has an-
nounced that Whitby has
been allocated $12,500 by
the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing to con-
duct a municipal housing
study.
Awarded in response to a
request from the
municipality, the grant will
assist in the preparation of
a housing statement. This
determines the municipali-
ty's housing needs and
establishes housing targets
to meet them, while ensur-
ing that logical housing
targets are integrated with
over-all provincial objec-
tives.
The municipal housing
study will involve a detail-
ed housing market analysis
by type of housing, price
range, income groups serv-
ed and the availability of
serviced land for future
use.
Ministry of Municipal Af-
fairs and Housing study
grants are designed to en-
courage active municipal
participation in the iden-
tification and development

For
New
Complex
Nearly $4 million has been approved by the
Ontario government for the proposed recrea-
tional complex in the Pickering town centre
area.
At a luncheon on Monday, the Hon. George
Ashe, Minister of Revenue and Durham West
MPP, announced approval of the project funds.
The $3,937,133.33 is about one-third of the cost
of the complex and the provincial grants will be
available with $500,000 in 1962-3, $2 million in
1963-4 and $1,437,133.33 in 19645.
George Ashe told the assembled members of
council, officials and media that any different
timing of payment would be subject to the
availability of Ministry of Culture and Recrea-
tion funds.
"I am pleased that substantial Wintario fun-
ding is being made available to assist the Town
of Pickering in completing two phases of the
multi-purpose Recreation Complex which is
clearly needed within the rapidly expanding
town," said Mr. Ashe.
He added: "This is a further indication of my
on-going concurrence that everybody wins with
Wintario."

Opinion
a page for expression
for you and us
Pay Up
Every month for about a year businesses have been
receiving a neat little form from the Employment and im-
migration Canada in Belleville, Ontario.
This form is called "Report on Hirings" and businesses
are required to fill in all the names of new employees hired
during the month, listing their Social Insurance Number
and name.
Why do businesses have to do this? Well. it is because the
government's department at Ottawa found that people
were ripping off the unemployment insurance scheme and
Ottawa had no information to control the situation.
So, some brainy civil servant at Ottawa thought up a new -
idea. Why not get companies to tell us who is going into jobs
- and as we get them already to tell >L when people leave
their jobs - then we will always know where everybody is.
And besides. all this cost will fall on those private enter-
prisers out there and government won't have to bear a lot of
the cost.
Each month. then. thousands of us in business, look at our
payroll records and record on the "Report on Hirings"
form that we have hired someone and "no" we haven't
hired anybody new. That costs us time. But the real irritant
in this process, is that we have to affix a 17e stamp on this
government envelope and pay to the government to tell
them about their own unemployment insurance system.
So there is our beef' Why should private business pay out
another piece more to help the government keep its infor-
mation in order? We already pay 1.4 timers the amount in
cash that the employee pays into the fund. We already fill in
a very complicated form when an employee leaves - and
this form takes a lot of expensive time. So why should
business pay out more money to help out a very inefficient
government operation?
It is in this area of the "extra cost" that our governments
tend to lose out. And it was only a couple of years ago that
an expert finally came up with the idea of abolishing a large
number of forms which we all used to fill in each year and
cost a lot of money.
But that was before the Employment and Immigration
Canada got its little bit into the works. Would some cabinet
minister please have a look at this extra expense we don't
steed?
Thanks
Dear Sir.
On November 26th I received a telephone call from a per-
son 'Arlo was interested in becoming a member of our
board. When I asked how she knew- that we needed
members, she told me that she had read about it in the
"Agincourt News". I was really pleased to hear this and I
am now very fortunate to have recruited at least one new
board member.
As a result of your advertisement, we have a new person
on our board with new and ongiml ideas that will surely be
assets in the making of very important decision -s.
1 would like to thank you very much for taking my letter of
request to you so seriously. You cannot imagine how much
it means to me and my fellow workers to know that at least
someone is supportive of our attempts to recruit new
volunteers: in a time when they are so hard to find.
I really appreciate what you have generously done for us
and for the people in our community who we aim to help and
support.
Sincere thanks.

Unhappy Pensions Up
A survey conducted in September by Conservative M.P.
Scott Fennell shows that Ontario Riding residents aren't too
happy with the post office.
More than 700 households in Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and
Uxbridge responded to four questions. This is a two percent
response rate and is typical of Toronto and District federal
ridings.
Results are as follows:
1► Should the right to strike be denied to inside postal
workers? Yes 87.6%, No 10.8%: N.C. 1.2%.
2► Should the right to strike be denied to all federal govern-
ment employees' Yes 81.2%. No 15.1%; N.C. 2.9%.
31 Should paid maternity leave from employment be a
required -by-law benefit'. Yes 18.6%: No 78.4%. N.C. 3.0%.
4 i If the federal government decides it requires more
revenues, should personal income taxes be de -indexed from
the inflation rate? Yes 10.8%; No 76.2%; N.C. 13.0%.
Fennel attributed the large no comment percentage for de -
indexing income taxes to the question being poorly worded.
The MP has sent the stuwey results to Jean-Claude Parrot,
Presmie rd of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Allan
'MacEachen, Minmer of Finance. Don Johnston, President
of the Treasury Board: Michael Warren. President of
Canada Post Corporation: and Andre Ouellet, Minister
responsible for Canada Post.
I don't expect these gentlemen will pay more attention
than usual to these opinions but at least my riding is on
record." he said. "I hope they will think of these results as a
friendly warning." Fennell added that the figures would be
useful to him when k#rving his caricas colleagues.

Message to government:
don't tinker with press
By W. Roger Worth
Freedom of the press is out
of those rise sounding phrases
that the public geweraYy takes
for granted, until proposals
are made to restrict that
freedom. Then people sit up
and take notice.
That's exactly what hap-
pened following release this
summer of the Kent Commis-
sion Report on concentration
of newspaper ownership in
Canada.
First, the country's daily
newspapers had a field day,
pointing out that The federal
government would necessarily
have an impact on editorial
material included in news-
papers if Kent's recommenda-
tions were followed. One of
the recommendations, for ex-
ample, would place tight
government controls on
newspaper ownership.
The weekh newspapers and
the rest of the media then
joined the fray, with many of
The voices further emphasizing
There is no place for govern-
ment overseers in the
newsrooms of the nation.
Now small business has
spoken. In a recent survey, 67
percent of the responding
members of the Canadian
Federation of Istlepeadent
Business voted against govern-
ment controls on newspaper
ownership. Some 22 percent
favored such action, and I1
percent bad so opinion.
"Our members take the
position that anyone should
have the right to buy and sell
Their properties, and that is-
cludes newspapers," said
organization President John
Bulloch. "Once government
gets into something, it tends to
set the rules and take over."
While Bulloch agrees there
is certainly unease about cor-
porate concentration in the
newspaper business, be points
out that the press and govern-
ments are natural adversaries.
"This is ons of those im-
portant checks and balances
that make our system work,
and our members are saying
Ihl don't want This syslem
tinkered with," be added.

Magical
Mysteries
North York's most
magical library this holi-
day season is Bathurst
Heights. On one magical
day school -aged children
will hear the fascinating
story of a wizard, then have
the chance to see a real live
wizard in action.
On Wed. Dec. 23, from 11
a.m. to 12 noon, Canadian
writer Linda Manning will
give a reading from her
children's book, WON-
DROUS TALES OF WICK-
ED WINSTON, the story of
a wicked wizard and his
whining cat.
On that same magical
day, Andrew McCarthy,

Wizard will perform amaz-
ing tricks to astound ages 6
and over, from 2 to 3 p.m.
His performance will be
followed by a shortened
film version of the Wizard

Disability pensions paid to veterans and their survivors
will rise 12.2 percent on Jan. 1st, the Hon Bennett Campbell,
Minister of Veterans Affairs, has announced.
The increase in benefits will reflect the rise in the Con-
sumer Price Index. Mr. Campbell said that approximately
134,000 disability pensioners and their surviving dependents
will receive the improved benefits. In addition to those
eligible under the Pension Act, monthly pensions are also
received by those qualifying under the Civilian War Pen-
sions and Allowances Act and the Compensation for farmer
Prisoners of War Act.
The increase means that on Jan. 1 the standard widow's
pension will go from $606.60 a month to $682.85. A married
veteran with a 100 percent disability pension will receive
$1138.04 a month instead of the present payment of $1014.33
a month. A 50 percent disability pensioner, married with
two dependent children, will in future receive $671.47, up
from $596.48 a month.

Some Praise
It is not every day that we praise civil servants. so here is
our chance to pat some more on the back.
It seems that residents of Pinegrove Ave and South
Woodrow Blvd have asked Scarborough Council works and
tt•arisportation committee for a 4 -way stop sign at the in-
tersection of these two streets. The request came from
residents who have seen two accidents occurring at this in-
tersection. Back in 1976 a similar request resulted in a 4o
kmh zone for the streets, the usual reaction of council and
its staff no matter what the complaint.
In this case. though, the borough staff conducted a traffic
study and concluded that there was only one third of the
traffic which would necessitate a 4 -way stop. And the
Praiseworthy report said that the 4 -way sign would only
result in further problems at the intersection and further,
that some 30M extra gallons of gasoline would be consumed
by motorists having to stop and start at the stop. -
Oh, it is so nice to have civil servants give an analysis
which is based on economy as well as safety. The politicians
need to have this kind of report in order to fend off residents
asking for completely unrealistic action. Unfortunately,
most politicians seem to agree to almost anything which
will pacify their constituents - and that is not our idea of
running a government.
But it is great to praise those government employees who
have approached a problem in a practical way. It does give
one a sense of relief that at least, there are some who are in-
terested in seeing an issue from all sides.
Do you think we could hope for more of this from other
levels of government? Perhaps, a brave civil servant might
caution Premier Wm. Davis that buying a $10.6 million jet
plane is not economical nor efficient. Or another might sug-
gest that owning 25% of an oil company is not the way to
spend tax money, especially when we must borrow the
money to make the purchase.
Perhaps some Ottawa mandarin might advise Trudeau iii
Co. that budgetting for 16 -plus % increase in spending is
very inflationary and shouldn't go by the 13% inflation
which his government has created by poor economic
policies.
Can we really hope for these things?

Walkways Becoming Headache For Council
by Gay Abbots
Walkways have become a
headache for politicians
and a source of irritation
for residents whose homes
are next to these public
laneways.
It seems that at each
meeting, the members of
Scarborough Works and
Transportation Committee
n

aa
Walkways are a par-
ticular feature of suburbs.
Because of the winding
roads, planners designed
walkways between homes
to provide local residents
with a direct and quick ac-
cess to major roads.
For the abutting
homeowners, though,
walkways are a source of
noise, litter and vandalism.
For Mr. Clay Bradshaw,
of 14 Armada Court, the
situation is even worse
since the laneway on the
side of his home is used by
patrons of Painted Post
Plaza on Markham Rd.
In a letter to Warks and
Transportation Commit-
tee, Mr. Bradshaw voiced
his concern for lack of
'borough maintenance in
the walkway. Poor
lighting, litter, and broken
glass are only a few of the
problems Mr. Bradshaw
aces.
He also can't use his
backyard after dark
because of noise and the
foul language of some of
the people who the walkway.b out in
Mr. Bradsaw is also con-
cerned about the possibility
of assaults on residents cut-
ting through the walkway.
This walkway is also accor-
ding to Mr. Bradshaw, a
hang-out for pot smokers
and patrons of the nearby
tavern.
There are two solutions
according to Mr. Brad-
shaw: better maintenance
of the walkway by the
borough or closure of the
walkway.
While sympathetic to Mr.
Bradshaw's problems,
members of the committee
refused to close the
walkway but did approve
better lighting and
maintenance.
Shirley Eidt, alderman for
the area, called this the
"proverbial walkway pro-
blem", and admitted that
she wouldn't walk through
there alone at night.
Mr. Bradshaw is also
angry about the destruc-
tion of his fence which runs
along the walkway. Since
the public damaged the
fence, he doesn't feel he
should have to pay
anything towards a new
one and wants the borough
to pay the entire cost, about
$950.
But the borough has a
policy to contribute only
50% towards any fence
which separates borough
property from private pro-
perty-
According
ro-
plyAccording to Alderman
Cruickshank, this 50 - 50
split with Mr. Bradshaw is
"gam„
A borough by-law also re-
quires the fence to be a
chain-link one and 6 ft.
high. Mr. Bradshaw
erected the original fence
himself and no one offered
to pay half of the cost, he
told the committee.
Most committee members
don't want to make an ex-
ception in this case because
other homeowners in
similar circumstances
would then also expect the
borough to pay for their
fence.
Mr. Bradshaw says he is
being penalized for the
damage other people have
done to his fence.
The committee finally
agreed to defer the item of
the fence until borough
staff has a chance to
discuss with the owner of
Painted Post Plaza the
passibility of his picking up
the tab for the other 50% of
the cost of the fence.

We fund it difficult to im-
agine a more refreshing
Christmas album. Must
also commend Mr. Lee for
the marvellous sound and
sound surface, another ex-
ample of why he is con-
sidered one of the best
sound men in Canada.
Another Canadian album
in CAMPING IN CANADA
WITH BIG BIRD AND
OSCAR THE GROUCH
(Kids' Records). As you've
noted from the title, this is
a Sesame Street enterprise
but it was produced by the
CBC with a Canadian crew
of technicians and artists.
Obviously, it's a child's
album and so intended but
it's a fact that much of the
music is enjoyable to an
adult ear.
We quite enjoyed Nancy
White singing J'ai Somrneil
and young Cree Summer
Franks is just a joy. Dad-
dy Dan must be quite proud
Of her.
A nice pleasant album
and, like all of Sesame
Street endeavours, one that
doesn't talk down to the
children.
Here are several other
Canadian albums of note. A
plethora of product and a
paucity of space dictate
that we may not give full
reviews of them but their

NIGHTS and ONE STEP

BOOK WORLD.
SKYE O'MALLEY by
Bertrice Small (Ballen-
tine) might well be, we
suspect, the fust in a series
of novels not unlike those of
some two decades ago
about the passionate and
fecund Angelique.
Remember her? She's the
heroine who was always in
hove and always bearing
children but never showing
any sighs of physical wear
or tear.
Well, Skye O'Malley is
like that. During the course
of this long novel she mar-
ries a minor Irish lord, a
Moroccan slave dealer,
and English lard and an inn
portant Irish lard.
In between marital flights
she also manages to
squeeze in some episodes of
piracy, a stint in the Tower
of London under the
displeasure of Queen
Elizabeth and a period of
amnesia.
Innumerable lovers, of
course, and a spot of
voyeurism as she watches
one of her husbands make
love to hos sister. All in the
family as it were.
Actually it's not an
unamusing time waster
but, for heaven's sake,
don't take it seriously.
That advice might also ap-
ply to "DOOMSDAY 1999
A.D." by Charles Berlitz
(Doubleday). Mr. Berlitz is
another on the trail of jour-
nalism first blazed by
Vance Packard.
He has done his research
well - add, that's availableto
anyone - and come up with
some rather startling
peer5ctiioos and warnings
of what many expect will
come to pass in the final (or
is it penultimate?) year of
Wworld end in 1999?
It probably deserves to but
The Creator is kind and we
don't think he has decreed
it.
Far and away the most in-
taesting aspect of the book
is not what Berlitz suggests
might happen but rather
what scientists know has
already happened-
In
appenedIn the Indus Valley of
Pakistan skeletons have
been discovered and dated
as being thousands of years
old They are still among
the most radioactive that
have ever been found, on a
par with those of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Now, that's frightening!
Finally, we commend to
you "PAUL BUNYAN:
SUPERHERO" (Fitzhenry
and Whiteside). This is for
the children and is another
re -telling of the familiar
story of the legendary
lumberjack.
We're pleased to nnention
it here, however, because
this version re-establishes
that Bunyan was Canadian
and merely borrowed by
our American friends who
knew a good thing.
And, we think you'll
recognize this inexpensive
paperback as a good thing
for your child An excellent
stocking gift.

Some Answers About Turkey Preparation
Each holiday, the same
questions are asked. Where
should a frozen turkey be
thawed? Can it be stuffed
in advance? How long and
at what temperature
should it be roasted? Food
and nutrition specialists
with the Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture and Food of-
fer the answers.
The whole turkey is usual-
ly vacuum sealed in a
heavy plastic bag. Leave
this wrapping on while the
bird thaws, but if you
defrost in the refrigerator
or at room temperature,
cut a long slit in the under-
side of the bag and set the
turkey on a rack over a
drip pan or tray. This
allows melting juices to
drain from the meat.
The refrigerator is the
ideal place to thaw turkey.
Chilly temperatures help
keep the surface cold as the
interior continues to thaw.
The only problem is time.
It takes about 10 hours per
kilogram (5 hours per
pound) to defrost in the
fudge. A large bird would
need almost 5 days.
At room temperature,
turkey takes around 3
hours per kilogram (1 112
hours per pound) to thaw —
but there's a greater
chance of the surface get-
ting warm, allowing
bacteria to grow. It helps
the surface stay cool if the
turkey, rack, and tray are
put into a large, clean,
paper bag while it defrosts
on the canter.
It's safer and faster to
thaw the bird in cold water.
Allow 2 hours per kilogram
(1 hour per pound). Often
the original wrapper is torn
before you get it. To pre-
vent the water touching the
meat, put the turkey in
another clean, holefree
plastic bag and immerse it
in a sink or deep pan of cold

water. Change the water
and turn the bird over
several times during the
defrosting period.
While a microwave oven
can be used to defrost a
small to medium size
turkey, it uses energy and
there's a chance that thin-
ner parts, like drumstick
ends, may start to cook
even if they're shielded
with foil. Check your
microwave manual for in-
structions.
No matter which
defrosting method you
choose, once the bird is
thawed, it should be loosely
wrapped in wax paper,
refrigerated, and roasted
within 24 hours. According
to the Ontario Turkey Pro-
ducer's Marketing Board,
frozen commercialy stuff-
ed turkey should not be
thawed before cooking.
Follow the directions on the
label.
Never stuff a turkey at
home until it's ready for
the oven. Even if the dress-
ing is made very carefully
and the bird is kept cold,
bacteria could grow to a
dangerous level. As soon as
the meal is finished,
remove the dressing from
both cavities, refrigerate it
in a separate container and
use if within a few days.
Fresh or thawed turkey
should be roasted at 160°C
(3250F). It's not safe to
cook poultry at lower
temperatures.

A meat thermometer is
the best way to check for
doneness. In a stuffed
turkey, the temperature in
the centre of the dressing
should be 700C (1650F). An
unstuffed bird is ready
when the temperature in
the thickest part of the
thigh reaches 85°C (1850F).
For safety's sake, don't
leave the cooked turkey sit-
ting on the kitchen counter.
Refrigerate it as soon as
dinner is over.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING
Christmas is just a little
more than a week away
and we wonder how it crept
upon us so quickly. I went
out last week and strung up
the outdoor lights and it
seemed to me that it was
only a few weeks ago that I
took them down.
It was, in fact, last
January that I removed
them but I am now becom-
ing a believer in the
philosophy of one of our
neighbours who leaves his
lights up, unconnected, all
yearlong.
Despite the concern for
energy conservation, the
twinkling colou rvd bulbs do
bring a joyousness to the
street scene at this other-
wise drab season of the
Just Around The Corner by Gordon Ashberry
year.
A FESTIVAL ENTRY
I am sure that the ad-
judicator for the Associa-
tion of Community
Theatres will give high
marks for the perfor-
mances in The Victoria
Players production of
"THE AUTUMN
GARDEN".
This play was presented
at the Fairview Library
Theatre last week and un-
fortunately only ran for
four nights. This means
that if you missed it then
you are out of luck. It was
well done.
'The Autumn Garden' is
not one of the better known
plays by Lillian Hellman
nor is it played very often,
but it should be.

Between 1936 and 1952,
Hellman wrote seven plays
including this one. Among
the others were, `Little
Foxes', `Watch on the
Rhine', and 'Another Part
of the Forest', all of which
were to be successes on
stage and on film.
In 1934, at the age of 28,
she wrote a very daring
play for the time. `The
Children's Hour' told the
story of two school
teachers falsety accused of
lesbianism by a 12 year4d
student and of the accep-
tance of the he by the
establishment.
In `The Autumn Garden',
set in a guest house in the
traditional Southern States
on the Gulf of Mexico in
1949, the play examines the
animal holiday meeting of
a group of old friends who
have reached the 'Autumn'
of their lives.
The play was inspired by
Chekov but unlike Chekov,
Heilman felt compelled to
make her characters con-
front their weaknesses and
suffer from what they saw.
Confronting time middle
years, Hellman felt that,
-you have come to a place
in your life when what you
have been is going to form
what you will be".
On that, even I will agree
but I dislike the pessimistic
attitude of the rest of the
assumption, "If you have
wasted what you have in
you, it's too late to do much
about it"
I prefer the approach that
-Tomorrow is the first day
of the rest of your life'.
However, Miss Heilman
was the author and so to the
play.
The direction by John
Wood was truly an artistic
achievement. This was a
most difficult play to pro-
duce and to perform.
Each of the characters
had to be understood wad
clearly defined or else the
whole would have lost
John spent a great deal of
time on establishing the
personality of each of 12
members of the cast. Even
the walk-ons had a mean-
ing-

Collins and dressed by Wal-
ly Krause was bright,
workable and appeared to
be authentic for the time
and place. The costumes.
so well chosen by Maria
Fermo, appeared ap-
propriate and not over-
done.
With a large cast who ac-
quitted themselves so ad-
mirably, it is not fair to ex-
clude anyone, but it is im-
possible in this space to
give credit to them all.
Frank Peek did his usual
high standard job as `Nick
Denery', who returns from
Europe after 20 years
where he was supposed to
have become a successful
artist. His presence stirs up
the inner conflicts, desires
and unfulfilled dreams of
the other characters.
Frank's acting on stage
appears so natural that you
wonder whether he is `just
being himself'. This, of
course, takes a truly self-
confident and mature artist
to pull it off.
His portrayal of an
alcoholic 'Nick', a
disgusting drunk, was a
masterpiece. In the hands
of a less proficient person,
it could have appeared
ludicrous but here it was
almost too realistic.
Andy Knott. of course,
was right up to fan as
'Edward Crossman' who
had loved 'Constance
Tuckerman' but had lost
out by her memories of
'Nick'. Susan Bliley played
this truly sympathetic role.
She was the person who
had wasted her life by liv-
ing in a world of self-
delusion. We were sad
when Constance and Ed-
ward realized that what
might have been, could
never be.
Peggy Malfara, as 'Mrs.
Mary Ellis', proved once
again that she can handle
drama, comedy or come -
what -may. As the citizen
well into her autumnal
years, she displayed the
honesty that comes with
seniority and experience.
I could go on and single
out, Bina Dylyrsky, Neil
Rowell, Mike Woodbridge,
Pam Hinsley, Jacqueline
Garrity, Barbara Belman,
and Susan Payne, who all
turned in more than
%;a table performances.
I must mention, however,
Ellen Deane, who as
'Hilda' the German-
speaking servant to Mrs.
Denery, did not appear on
stage very often and then
for only a shot time, once
again proved that there are
no small parts.
When the play was over
you felt that there was no
definite conclusion.
And while it was a long
play, almost three hours, it
was a very absorbing ex-
perience. It was the kind of
an evening that you
discussed on the way home
and over a late evening cup
of coffee.
Credit for this must go to
the clever writing of Miss
Hellman and for the truly
fine performance provided
by the Victoria Players.
I regret that on the evening
that I attended, there was a
very small house. This can
partly be explained by the
fact that they are a
relatively new group to
venture into community
theatre.
I can recall when Val
Fiedler called to invite me
to one of their first produc-
tions and I reported then
that this would become one
of the better groups in our
area. With a steady step
they have developed.
Another play will be com-
ing in the spring, so make a
memory note to be sure not
to miss it.
THANKS
I would like to thank those
nice people who sent me
the recipes for tripe. I in-
tend to try them now that
the weather has become
Tripe weather. I must con-
fess that a couple of them
seem most exotic. I had not
thought of Gourmet -Tripe.
HOLIDAY TIME
For the next few weeks,
the theatre scene
hereabouts will become
quiet so I have decided to
shut down the typewriter
and give both of us a rest. I
hope to return with news
'Just Around the Caner'
early in January.
In the meantime, have a
Semon and safe Holiday

Each house has its own
decorations which reflect
its restoration date and
family status. But there is
much in common to all
three.
Instead of towering piles
of glittery -wrapped boxes,
there is only one present
for each family member.
Nor are the gifts wrapped,
as paper was scarce even
in 1870.

Favourite
Holiday Food
- Turkey
Turkey is one of Ontario's
favorite holiday foods. But
if a whole turkey is too
large for your household,
try turkey parts, suggest
marketing specialists at
the Ontario Food. of
Agriculture
Turkey parts include the
wings, thighs, drumsticks
and breasts. Buying turkey
parts lets you choose the
type of meat and the exact
amounts needed.
Since turkey parts have
varying amounts of bone,
the amount of turkey re-
quired for each serving will
differ. For thighs and
breasts, allow 112 to 3/4 lb
per serving, and for
drumsticks and wings,
allow 3/4 to 1 lb per serv-
ing-
Ontario turkey parts can
usually be found in the
fresh or frozen meat sec-
tion of your local food
store. To thaw the frozen
turkey parts, leave them in
the refrigerator overnight.
For frozen turkey breasts,
allow 24 hours in the
refrigerator.
There are several dif-
ferent ways to cook turkey
parts. They can be braised
in a skillet, simmered on
top of the stove, stewed or
roasted. For a traditional
Christmas turkey dinner,
roast turkey parts at 3500
for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until
fork tender. Baste as need-
ed. Cook turkey dressing
separately in a casserole
dish, at the same time as
the turkey parts. For a
richer flavor, spoon some
turkey drippings over the
dressing while cooking.
Beer, Food & Christmas
Christmas without Saint Nicholas would be as flat as beer
without the fizz, and that comparison is not as far-fetched
as it may sound at first!
"Beer, food and Christmas are traditional companions,
said T yphena Flood, Home Economist and spokesperson
for Labatt Brewing Company Limited. "Saint Nicholas is
the Patron Saint of Brewers and Bakers, and also sym-
bolizes the Yuletide spirit of giving and humanity."
Beer and bread, the cereal foods, were the staples of
mankind's earliest civilized fare. But beer, or brewing,
really came into its own with the Christian era, largely
through the influence of monasteries which brewed the im-
proved beer, Ms. Flood explained.
In many monasteries, monks pioneered the hotel
binesses, providing shelter, food and drink to pilgrims
and other travellers," added Ms. Flood.
Saint Nicholas, the foe mner of the modern-day Santa
Claus, was born it the 4th Century in Patara, became a
priest and later served as Bishop of Myra. He was known
for his good deeds and miracles of charity and kindness,
and administered a newly -built monastery while its
founder, his uncle, undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
Vying through the age-old tradition established by
Saint Nicholas, Ms. Flood has developed three easy -to -
prepare main dish recipes perfect for family and holiday
entertaining -
"Beer is a very versatile and nutritious beverage that
greatly enhances food," Ms. Flood said "It adds a very
subtle, but distinctive, delicate flavor.
"For instance, in the glazed ham slices and divan recipes,
adding beer creates a new taste sensation. It's like
discovering a new seasoning," said Ms. Flood
Bea combines with various kinds of meats easily never
overwhelming their distinctive flavors, is economical and
mrtritious. It has a retain mystique about it; it's presence
is there, but it's source (unless you utter your secret) is
unknown.
known.
And an added botim is the nutritional value of beer.
"Akobd evaPaeates at 172 degrees F., (80 degrees C) so
there is none lett in any cooked recipe," Ms. Flood said
"With beer, you are left with the B vitamins, mainly
thiamin and riboflavin, trace miners such as cakmm,
iron, magnesium and potassium.••
Ms. Flood said allthe recipes are easy to prrepare and ce`
quire little or no fussing, a boon to harried homemakers

Hints
It may never be necessary
to sweep chimneys of
homes bested by oil or gas.
Any problem with the
chimney should be spotted
during the arcual inspec-
tion of the furnace per-
formed by a qualified,
knowledgeable profes-
sional.
However, it is necessary
to sweep regularly
chimneys of homes heated
by solid fuels ( wood and
coal) because of creosote
buildup associated with the
burning of some grades of
wood and coal. The resins
and gases produced by a
smouldering fire don't burn
off but go up the chimney
where they condense into
creosote and present a fire
hazard. After a period of
time, starting a Erre can set
the chimney aflame.

During the holidays, fur-

side.
Place the tree away from
the heat source - radiators,
fireplaces, wall beaters,
TV sets. And, of course,
never use real candles on it
- or around any flammable
decorations.
Don't string lights on
metallic trees. That's a
shock hazard. Use indirect
lighting. Unplug holiday
lighting before you go to
bed or when you leave the
house.
During the season there
are more open flames from
fireplaces and candles.
Keep combustible
materials away from them.
Don't burn gift wrapping or
boughs in the fireplaces.
Don't overload circuits.
Use extension cords spar-
ingly.

AREIALS GYMNASTIC CLUB
The Town of Pickering's Areials Gymnastics Chub will be
holding a Christmas Competition event at Dumbarton High
School, in both the boys' and girls' gymnasiums. This will
take place on Sat. Dec. 19th from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The
children will range in ages from 5 years to 14 years old and

FAIRPORT BEACH HIGHLIGHTS
The goal for this week is Christmas. Some of the students
from each class in the Junior wing read Christmas poems
over the PA system. After the poems were read, the whole
school joined in singing three Christmas Carols.
On Monday and on Tuesday evenings we had our
Christmas Cantata. It was very well done and reflected the
hard work that the students, Mrs. Stickle, Mrs. Lickley and
Mrs. Mann had put into it. Mrs. Mann took over for Mrs.
Lickley because Mrs. Lickley has come down with
pneumonia. We thank Mrs. Mann for doing such a terrific
job of filling in forMrs. Lickley. The staff and students wish
Mrs. Lickley a speedy recovery.
The senior citizens were invited to see the Cantata on Mon-
day. They enjoyed tkernsdves and we enjoyed having
them. Miss Williams offered them refreshments in her
room after the Cantata. The grade five students from Mr.
Peters' room served the refreshments to the senior citizens.
Next Tuesday. the Home and School will be serving
Christmas goodies to the students after morning recess.
Thanks to the Home and School for all their fine support!
Mr. Huebert has chosen a lovely Christmas tree again this
year for our front foyer. Mrs. Henwood's grade twos helped
decorate it.
In house league last week, the Stingrays and Pintos played
for the mini grey cup. Although both teams played very
well, the Pintos ended up winning 20.7. Well done, Pintos!
Good game. Stingrays! On Wednesday of last week the
Fairport Beach All Star flag football team challenged the
Pintos to a game. The All Star team won the game 21-14!
Well done All Stu team! Good game, Pintos!

Queen's Park Report by George Ashe, MPP Durham West
GOOD NEWS FROM WINTARIO:
The Town of Pickering is to receive a $4 million grant from
Wintario for the major recreational complex to be located
at the Pickering Town Centre. This is one of the larger
grants ever given by Wintario for one project.
The grant is to be paid in instalments over the next three
years, with $500,000 available the first year, $2 million the
second, and $1.5 million in the third year.
The grant is one of more than 600 made public last week
under the Ministry of Culture and Recreation's revised
capital grants program announced last January. Total
ftunds granted will be about $40 million, and payments will
begin April 1, 1982.
More than 1,000 qualified applicabom were received by
the September 30th deadline for the construction and
renovation of facilities relating to the Ministry's mandate —
sports, recreation, libraries, museums and other cultural
facilities.
In the sic years the WWtario capital grants program has
been operating, more than 4,000 cultural and recreational
facilities have been supported, not including the SW new
grants.
Sincethis program requires that funds for projects also be
raised locally, the $225 million given in grants since 1975 has
stimulated about $700 million worth of activity, and created
about 14,000 construction jobs.
This latest injection of $4o million is expected to mean
about $125 million worth of construction in the province.
A NEW PLANT FOR DURHAM:
Soon we will have another new plant in the Durham
Region. Moore Business Forms has recently purchased a 12
acre site of land in Oshawa where they will be constructing
a 60,000 square foot building. Construction is to begin early
in the new year, and it is expected that the new plant will be
in production in the last quarter of 1982.
This is good news for our area, because by 1984, more than
90 jobs will be created, and it is company policy for Moore
to hire locally.
Moore Business Forms, a wholly-owned Canadian com
parry with worldwide operations, will be celebrating its
100th year of business in 1982. It will be a welcome addition
to our business community.
AMENDMENTS TO AFFECT DRINKING DRIVERS:
There is a bill under consideration by the Legislature cur-
rently which would see "marginally impaired" drivers
taken off the roads for 12 hours.
Solicitor General Roy McMurtry recently introduced this
legislation, and we in Government hope to see it passed
before Christmas.
This proposal is contained in amendments to the highway
Traffic Act which also deals with the R.I.D.E. (Reduce Im-
paired Driving Everywhere) Program and police pursuits.
The R.I.D.E. programs involve, as most of you know, spot
checks by police with the principal purpose of keeping
drinking drivers off our roads. The programs have been
proven particularly effective during the Christmas season,
but their validity has been challenged in court. In order to
strengthen the programs the new legislation will clarify
their legality.
It will also provide for a mandatory three-year suspension
of the driver's license of anyone who deliberately engages
the police in a high speed puradt.
The third area of the bill is aimed at temporarily removing
from the roads marginally impaired drivers. It will involve
a 12 hour suspension based on a roadside Meath test.
The Criminal Code contains offences for impaired driving
and having more than .08 percent of alcohol in the blood.
But, studies have shown that drivers with more than .05
percent are also a hazard, and this legislation is aimed at
them.
If instruments show that a driver has more than .05 per-
cent alcohol levels, his or her licence is temporarily
suspended, and he or she is provided in writing with all the
relevant information, including when the suspension is over
and where the licence may be recovered.
The temporary suspension will not be reflected on the
driver's record, but it would be an offence for the suspended
driver to drive during that period
We should all remember though, that all the legislation in
the world does not take the place of common setae when it
:oats to drinking and driving. We appreciate all our consh-
tuents in Durham West.

The goal for this week is Christmas. Some of the students
from each class in the Junior wing read Christmas poems
over the PA system. After the poems were read, the whole
school joined in singing three Christmas Carols.
On Monday and on Tuesday evenings we had our
Christmas Cantata. It was very well done and reflected the
hard work that the students, Mrs. Stickle, Mrs. Lickley and
Mrs. Mann had put into it. Mrs. Mann took over for Mrs.
Lickley because Mrs. Lickley has come down with
pneumonia. We thank Mrs. Mann for doing such a terrific
job of filling in forMrs. Lickley. The staff and students wish
Mrs. Lickley a speedy recovery.
The senior citizens were invited to see the Cantata on Mon-
day. They enjoyed tkernsdves and we enjoyed having
them. Miss Williams offered them refreshments in her
room after the Cantata. The grade five students from Mr.
Peters' room served the refreshments to the senior citizens.
Next Tuesday. the Home and School will be serving
Christmas goodies to the students after morning recess.
Thanks to the Home and School for all their fine support!
Mr. Huebert has chosen a lovely Christmas tree again this
year for our front foyer. Mrs. Henwood's grade twos helped
decorate it.
In house league last week, the Stingrays and Pintos played
for the mini grey cup. Although both teams played very
well, the Pintos ended up winning 20.7. Well done, Pintos!
Good game. Stingrays! On Wednesday of last week the
Fairport Beach All Star flag football team challenged the
Pintos to a game. The All Star team won the game 21-14!
Well done All Stu team! Good game, Pintos!

Queen's Park Report by George Ashe, MPP Durham West
GOOD NEWS FROM WINTARIO:
The Town of Pickering is to receive a $4 million grant from
Wintario for the major recreational complex to be located
at the Pickering Town Centre. This is one of the larger
grants ever given by Wintario for one project.
The grant is to be paid in instalments over the next three
years, with $500,000 available the first year, $2 million the
second, and $1.5 million in the third year.
The grant is one of more than 600 made public last week
under the Ministry of Culture and Recreation's revised
capital grants program announced last January. Total
ftunds granted will be about $40 million, and payments will
begin April 1, 1982.
More than 1,000 qualified applicabom were received by
the September 30th deadline for the construction and
renovation of facilities relating to the Ministry's mandate —
sports, recreation, libraries, museums and other cultural
facilities.
In the sic years the WWtario capital grants program has
been operating, more than 4,000 cultural and recreational
facilities have been supported, not including the SW new
grants.
Sincethis program requires that funds for projects also be
raised locally, the $225 million given in grants since 1975 has
stimulated about $700 million worth of activity, and created
about 14,000 construction jobs.
This latest injection of $4o million is expected to mean
about $125 million worth of construction in the province.
A NEW PLANT FOR DURHAM:
Soon we will have another new plant in the Durham
Region. Moore Business Forms has recently purchased a 12
acre site of land in Oshawa where they will be constructing
a 60,000 square foot building. Construction is to begin early
in the new year, and it is expected that the new plant will be
in production in the last quarter of 1982.
This is good news for our area, because by 1984, more than
90 jobs will be created, and it is company policy for Moore
to hire locally.
Moore Business Forms, a wholly-owned Canadian com
parry with worldwide operations, will be celebrating its
100th year of business in 1982. It will be a welcome addition
to our business community.
AMENDMENTS TO AFFECT DRINKING DRIVERS:
There is a bill under consideration by the Legislature cur-
rently which would see "marginally impaired" drivers
taken off the roads for 12 hours.
Solicitor General Roy McMurtry recently introduced this
legislation, and we in Government hope to see it passed
before Christmas.
This proposal is contained in amendments to the highway
Traffic Act which also deals with the R.I.D.E. (Reduce Im-
paired Driving Everywhere) Program and police pursuits.
The R.I.D.E. programs involve, as most of you know, spot
checks by police with the principal purpose of keeping
drinking drivers off our roads. The programs have been
proven particularly effective during the Christmas season,
but their validity has been challenged in court. In order to
strengthen the programs the new legislation will clarify
their legality.
It will also provide for a mandatory three-year suspension
of the driver's license of anyone who deliberately engages
the police in a high speed puradt.
The third area of the bill is aimed at temporarily removing
from the roads marginally impaired drivers. It will involve
a 12 hour suspension based on a roadside Meath test.
The Criminal Code contains offences for impaired driving
and having more than .08 percent of alcohol in the blood.
But, studies have shown that drivers with more than .05
percent are also a hazard, and this legislation is aimed at
them.
If instruments show that a driver has more than .05 per-
cent alcohol levels, his or her licence is temporarily
suspended, and he or she is provided in writing with all the
relevant information, including when the suspension is over
and where the licence may be recovered.
The temporary suspension will not be reflected on the
driver's record, but it would be an offence for the suspended
driver to drive during that period
We should all remember though, that all the legislation in
the world does not take the place of common setae when it
:oats to drinking and driving. We appreciate all our consh-
tuents in Durham West.

Report From Ottawa
by Scott Fennell, MP Ontario Riding
Even though our new constitution falls far short of perfec-
tion, there can be no doubt that the recent 264-24 vote by the
House of Commons to send the Canada Act to the Senate
and on to Britain was an historic occasion.
I was adamantly opposed to the original Canada Act pro-
moted by Pierre Trudeau and even more upset by the ar-
rogant and arbitrary processes be used to push it. Six mon-
ths ago, it seemed as if what bad begun as a redundant rha-
tional unity exercise bad become perverted and was
diminishing national unity,
This conclusion is still held by many who point to Quebec's
lack of agreement with the new constitution. The opposition
of Rene Levesque can be discounted as he's a separatist.
But the fact that Quebec's public opinion polls now indicate
an all-time high in favour of separatism must be taken
seriously.
Still, I was able to support the modified Canada Act. My
vote in favour was not with much enthusiasm but I felt the
support of nine provincial premiers was a great improve-
ment over the previous two. I am still angered the constitu-
tion provides no endorsement of property rights - and have
great respect for members of my party who had to vote no
for this reason. But at least my vote of support does not
preclude inserting this protection in future.
From the beginning there has been a false sense of urgen-
cy over the constitution. Canadians are going to find that
their lives will not be dramatically changed now that we
will soon have a new one. When all is said and done, the
country is not worse off because of it. I believe that had it
not been for my party forcing the issue in the Supreme
Court, the arrogance of Ottawa would have meant Canada
would be in a worse position.
Now, my main feeling is one of relief: relief that the
government must at last put aside its diversionary tactics
and begin to address the serious economic problems facing
Canada, problems which have been deliberately neglected
so that an "historic" occasion could take place in Ottawa.
