Apr. 14, 1962 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Great Words Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau has a great facility for saying the right answers for Canada's economic problems. We remember how he told us -to tighten our belts" - unfor- tunately, he didn't apply that philosophy to federal govern- ment expenditures which are within his power to correct. Recently the PM chose another great set of words. He said that labour, management and government has to get together "to plan the country's economy". Wow! Did our socialist -leaning leader really say that'' He probably has been observing the Japanese system which has put this con- cept into real action for a number of years. But this country needs more than a beautiful set of words dished out at an important meeting. It needs leadership which tackles the economy• not rigidly adhering to an inef- fective Bank of Canada interest rates program. Nor does it need a government which appears to be banking on an American recovery to make the necessary correction to our economy. - - The western world countries are all in a spot financially these days but this doesn't mean that Canada needs to be equal in frustration and desperation. This country has im- mense resources, we have the skills and the brains. What we need are governments which believe in paying their way today instead of borrowing against the future. We need government which keeps its fingers off the marketplace and sticks to the needs of people and general planning. Getting down to the bottom line• we have two major in- dustries which mosth• affect our economic conditions. The auto industry influences society a great deal and the hous- ing business is another big part of our problem. In the car indusry, we see Canadian unionized workers strongly against any concessions to the big auto companies. even though the U.S. auto workers have agreed to take less pay in order to help the industry there compete more effec- tively with Japanese imports. This rigid attitude of our workers will need to be changed if these workers are going to face the realities of international companies. The Japanese worker is making a good car at a lesser price and our products are not competitive. This is where a govern- ment leader would make the initiative to help the workers and management get together before Canada has no car in- dustry at all. The housing industry only needs one change to set it off to a booming condition - lower interest rates. It is ridiculous to cut off average income Canadians from owning a home. Of course. if government hadn't discouraged the investment side of the industry by curbing the possibility of making profits, there would be a surplus of rental housing available and prices would not be rising at a steep rate. Competition is necessary to hold bock large increases. One Step Forward If we Canadians really want to get our economy rolling, in our opinion, we should begin to analyze how to get more ef- ficiency - commonly called productivity - out of our economy. Take this past weekend for example. Friday was a na- tional holiday and so every business ( except restaurants, drug stores, etc.) closed for the Good Friday remem- brance. Easter Sunday is the normal celebration of the resurrection of Christ and churches do just that. But along comes Monday - Easter Monday - which for some dark, past secret is a holiday for schools, governments ... and the post off ice. Now the government legislates that banks - which might Carrier Routes Open! Deliver this newspaper to homes and apartments EARN EXTRA MONEY for information Call 291-2583 PICKE news post .

(Photos - Bob Watson) Realty Market Showing Some Strength The real estate market appears to have passed the low point in the current cycle, and is slowly regaining some strength and vitality, according to J.T. Blair Jackson, Ex- ecutive Vice -President of CENTURY 21 Canada. The some 400 offices in the national real estate franchise network reported a nationwide gain of 36 percent in dollar volume in February over the preceding month and an in- crease of 17 percent over the December figures. Reporting to the Century 21 Real Estate Canada Ltd. Board of Direc- tors, Jackson noted that all regions reported business in- creases. with some indicating substantial activity. CENTURY' 21 offices in the Atlantic provinces show- a 47 percent rise and the best results since last October. Alberta was up 43 percent. Ontario 32 percent and B.C. 26 percent. The lowest rise was recorded in Manitoba, but even it reported a volume of 10 percent over the previous month. "Perhaps even more significant," Jackson added, "is the higher ratio of initial offers to purchase that are now being completed. While the three-year average of completed sales was just over 70 percent, the ratio dropped to 57 per- cent last fall. However, in February, the ratio increased to an astounding 79 percent." The explanation, he suggested, is the increasing involve- ment of vendors in helping to finance purchases. Many of- fers to purchase now occur only after financing ar- rangements with owners have been resolved. "The result is that while there are fewer sales than some months ago, more are actually being completed." Vendors are also becoming more realistic about asking prices, and pur- chasers are aware of the financing costs before making of- fers. "While the market may not be what it was a year ago• normally be closed on a government holiday - must be open because they have been closed three days in a row. But the same government appears to ignore the fact that the post office is closed. So far most businesses rely on the post of- fice to deliver cheques for accounts receivable and this money goes into the bank to keep the economy going. When Michael Warren took over the new crown corpora- tion - the post office - he promised big things, but'not right away. As an observer we noticed that he got on the good side of the employees by letting salaries and wages go up higher than private enterprise, he raised the price of stamps to balance the books ( and create another infla- tionary cost to business) and he did nothing about the number of holidays which the post office has off. We can almost hear the Japanese laughing to see the Canadian business community last Easter Monday attemp- ting to function without cash flow and mail - a mail with which none of us is able to compete by law! It is about time that common sense takes over this situa- tion and Mr. Warren or the government announce clearly that next Easter Monday is a day when the post office will be functioning normally as well as the banks and the rest of the business community. After all, the post office is not a government service - it is a part of the business community and just happens (unfortunately) to be tin by government. there are unmistakable signs that it has improved over the past month and that gradual strengthening will likely con- tinue into the summer." Jack%on said. ainstream Canada Em Bigger is not always better By 14' Roger Korth Yet while Ottawa is busy It's time, perhaps, to dispel bailing out the likes of Chrysler the myth that bigger is always and Massey -Ferguson with better, not only in farming, hundreds of millions in tax - but in other businesses as well. payer dollars, little is being For years, Canadians have done for entrepreneurs (be been told that huge farms they farmers, manufacturers, (many of them operated by or retailers) who create a ckw big corporations) are needed majority of the country's new to keep food prices at reason- jobs• able levels.

Radioactive Dumping by Gay Abbate Pickering residents are adamant that the radioac- tive soil on McClure Cres. in Scarborough will not be stored at the Beare Rd. landfill site. About 550 peo- ple turned out last Satur- day for a demonstration. Bearing signs of "Don't Pickle Pickering" and "Don't Dump on Us", the demonstrators made their way up Meadowvale Rd. from Sheppard to the Beare Rd. landfiR site near the Metro Zoo. Although police were on hand, their services were not needed. Spokesman Bob Nicholson, president of the East Rouge Ratepayers' Association, stated that the groups would take "all necessary action to guarantee that the soil will not come to Beare Rd". "We will win," he told the crowd. The Pickering residents are supported by six Scar- borough associations in- cluding Save -the -Rouge. Lois James of Save -the - Rouge wants Beare Rd. closed to all hazardous wastes. The only solution according to James is for the government to buy the McClure Cres. homes and leave the soil where it is un- til a permanent site is found. Another Scarborough resi- dent who joined in the demonstration was John Mackie of the West Rouge Ratepayers' Association. Mackie said that his association has been trying for a long time to get the landfill site closed. Mackie calls the govern- ment's attempts to put the soil at Beare Rd. "the last straw which broke the camel's back". He argues that the dump should never have been put there in the Members of the Scarborough Business Association manned the telephones as the group's "Action -Tel" campaign was in action at the Scarborough Civic Centre last Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday. ( Photo - Bob Watson Scarborough Business Association Gets Its Membership Up To 900 In Drive by Gay Abbate The Scarborough Business Association (SBA) Celebrated Its se- cond anniversary last week by ringing bells. This ringing was part of the SBA's three-day membership drive. The "caw beII" sound was ac- tually produced by a little xylophone and everytime it rang, it meant a new member for the SBA. And it rang often as 310 new members joined the SBA_ The projected goal, according to Ray Tower, one of the organizers, was surpassed by 60. This now boosts the total SBA membership to 900. About 100 members of the SBA participated in the three-day marathon held in the civic centre. The phones were manned by 12 people each day working from 8 - 5 p.m. These people, according to Barbara Bird, SBA Secretary, were the "tellers" who told perspec- tive members why they should join. These are not to be confus- ed with the "trotters" who delivered kits and picked up membership fees from new members. The -'tellers" had a number of incentives to keep up their spirits and not be discouraged by "no's". These included two bottles of champagne for the teller with the most memberships each day and 5o pounds of lobster for the teller with the most memberships overall. The winners of these and other prizes have yet to be announced. The SBA has members from both small and large business as well as profes- sionals. Its main ac- comphshment, according to Tom Abel, SBA presi- dent, has been the develop- ment evelopment of community spirit. SBA has helped support such community groups as Arts Scarborough and Human Services of Scar- borough - It has sponsored "Fitness Week" and plans a trade fair for next year. The SBA provides numerous services to its members. Lectures, workshops, newsletters Creating Liveable Suburbs "Turn Left at the Potted Palm: Your Way Around the Planning Department" is the second in a series of seminars on "Creating Livable Suburbs", spon- sored by Scarborough's Planning Board. This seminar will be held on Thurs. Apr. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Committee Rooms 1 & 2 at the Scarborough Civic Centre. The participants will be Herb Stricker, President of Heathcliffe Development Ltd., John Larke, Planning Board member, Peter Poot, Director of Develop- ment evelopment Review Division, Scarborough Planning Department and Bela Kaposi, Manager, Commit- tee of Adjustment. Among the topics of discussion will be the struc- ture and function of the Planning Department and the roles of the Committee of Adjustment and Plann- ing Board. Refreshments will be served and everyone is welcome. and monthly luncheons are just a few of the ways the SBA keeps in touch with and helps its members. Its aim, according to Abel, is to develop the well-being of the business community. "What's good for the business community is good for the Scarborough commur ity as a whole," Abel stated. first place because of its proximity to the Rouge River system. While Mackie believes that the Malvern soil should be moved, he does not believe that it should be moved to someone else's back yard. He said he sympathizes F: with the Malvern residents because they have been "abused, ignored and told to go away". Mackie calls the radioactive soil a disaster. "You don't bury a disaster," Mackie stated. Metro Works Committee has approved in principle moving the soil to the Beare Rd. site subject to a number of conditions. Metro's main concern is how long the soil would re- main at Beare Rd. Members of the Metro Committee were afraid that once it is removed to Beare Rd., "temporary" will become "permanent".

Scarborough Centenary's senior team leaders will be on hand to talk to the open house participants and will tailor a tour to match their special nursing interest areas, such as the Cor- onary Care and Intensive Care Units - A general guided tour of the hospital's facilities also will be provided Mrs. Powell said Scar- borough Centenary offers nurses a challenging oppor- tunity to hone their profes- sional skills. "We utilize a team approach to nursing that results in our staff having total involvement in their patients' care," Mrs. Powell explained. "They are involved in establishing treatment routines and schedules for their patients under the supervision of their senior team leader and in con- sultation with a patient's physician," she said. A visual display will be set up and refreshments will be served at the afternoon event. Opened in 1967, Scar- borough Centenary Hospital is a 525 -bed ter- tiary care facility pro- vidirig service to patients from Scarborough and other parts of Metropolitan Toronto, as well as Markham. Pickering and Ajax - Conference Stimulates Bright Students Students won't learn to be master detectives like Sam Spade, illusionists like Harry Houdini, mythical snake charmers or globe- trotting archaeologists dur- ing "Idea '82". but their classroom will expand well beyond the four walls of a Scarborough school house. This annual conference for bright students, slated for April 15 at Scarborough College, is billed by its organizers as the only one of its kind in Ontario, perhaps the only one of its kind in Canada. Teachers Complain About Allocation Changes To Board by Gay Abbate Elementary school teachers and principals have joined the ranks of their colleagues at the secondary school level to complain to the Board of Education Planning Com- mittee about the allocation of additional staff to area enrichment at the expense of students in regular pro- grams - Bob Benham, Principal of Chine Dr. P.S., believes that larger class sizes for regular students will be the result of assigning addi- tional teachers to area enrichment programs. '7hey'd be better used in subsidizing other pro- grams," Benham com- mented. Sharon Booker, speaking for the Scarborough Women Teachers' Associa- tion, argued that the board should hire more teachers instead of taking them from regular students. But Trustee Pat Collie asked where the board would get the money for more teachers. Scarborough Board of Education will get 25 more teachers for special educa- tion than it received in 1961 and the Planning Commit- tee decided to allocate 11 of these teachers to area enrichment programs. The committee rejected all arguments to hire more teachers than the board is entitled to under a formula in the teachers' collective agreement with the board. For one day, 300 especial- ly talented students. can get a taste of everything from crime prevention, to survival training, to storytelling, to stamp col- lecting as they attend workshops with local ex- perts, teachers and Wim. If they don't have an in- terest in these areas, they can get a look at astronomy, nearu--science (the study of the brain), Origami, creative gym- nastics, drama or dissec- tion, which will be ably per- formed by local school trustee and science teacher Eva Nichols. Parents will also be asked to attend an afternoon workshop to learn how they can du lenge the energies of their above average children. Teacher Kim MacDonald, one of the organizers of Idea '82 offers this explana- tion of what the conference is all about: At brings bright children together so they can expand their pre- sent areas of interest with the help of professionals or they can team something entirely new winch they may never have had the chance to do before.,' THE BLACK BEAUTY CAR CASSETTE STEREO PLAYER WITH AM/FM MPX RADIO With2-6x9or51/4" Coaxial or 4" Speakers 1 REG.

Apr. 14, 1982 Ruddell Argues For Community Associations Scarborough Council should instruct its legal department not to challenge the legal status of unincorporated com- munity associations before the Ontario Municipal Board, Controller Carol Ruddell told her fellow council members last week.

Although legislation re- quire associations to be in- corporated in order to ap- pear before the OMB, the OMB normally does not question their legal status unless it is brought up by opposing attorneys. Ruddell told Council that Scarborough has a history of encouraging community associations to actively participate in the political process and should con- tinue with this policy. "The matter before the OMB should be decided on substance, not on a technicality," she argued. Scarborough Council voted to send the entire matter to a policy meeting of Board of Control for fur- ther discussion. Ruddell argued against this motion because policy meetings are private. "That's how we got into trouble in the first place," she stated, referring to a council directive, arising from a secret meeting, to the borough clerk to advise all community associations that they should be incor- porated if appealing anything to the OMB or else run the risk of being assessed costs.

We all have doubts: the disciples had doubts; Mary t had hers as they went to the ore xdchre. But it is upon these doubts that we are title able to build a stronger faith, and the hope provid- ed at this season gives us that extra strength we need. May that nape never fade from our lives. We had hoped to hear from the Meadowvale choir next week as an early celebration to Education Welt but somewhere com- munication broke down so we will not have that pleasure. On Apr. 25, Mr. Morris' last Sunday with us. the Sacrament of Chris- tian Baptism will be of- fered. Families wishing to participate should contact Mr. :Morris this week at 751-5440. A letter has gone out to all members and adherents of the congregation this week. Please respond as quickly as possible to its request. Next week the Stewards meet on Monday at 7:30 p.m. and the Session on Tuesday at 8 p.m. These meetings are important as we change our minister and look ahead. We were happy to see Lillian Armstrong with us this week having had good success with heart surgery; but we were sad- dened to hear Bill Dempsey is in intensive care at Centenary with heart pro- blems. All the best to both of these fine people. 30 Grass Fires Over Easter Scarborough Fire Department reports there were no major fires on the four day Easter weekend, however 30 grass fires were reported, a sure sign of spring.

But this award comes as no surprise to the members of Scarborough Recreation and Parks staff or Commit- tee since Scarborough has won the cup for the last 20 years. This cup is presented by the Royal Life Saving Society of Canada, Ontario Branch, to the community which has made life-saving training available to the largest number of its residents. - This means that Scar- borough has the greatest number of people trained to deal with water emergen- cies in all of Canada. Last week was Scar- borough's day for awards as it received the 1982 Honour Award presented by the Association of Land- scape Architects. The award is for the design of Milliken Park. Spartans Want $12,000 The Scarborough Spar- tans Aquatic Club has ask- ed the borough for a $12,000 grant to offset an operating deficit. Because of declining enrollment, the chub was forced to ask for financial assistance for the first time. Representatives of the club told the Scarborough Recreation and Parks Committee that they want to be self-sufficient and will be holding a Swim-a-thon to raise money. The committee was told that membership has declined from a high of 220 to its present too because Canada has not achieved anything internationally since it won two gold medals in 1978. But committee members felt that more information about the chub was re- quired before a decision could be made. Ed Fulton. ward 7 alder- man, told the club that he would like to help but need- ed to see their financial statment and projected revenue fust. Young Writers Gather For English Appreciation While maybe not as much fun as playing with an Atari, writing is fun and that's the message behind the first ever Area Three Writing Festival, organiz- ed by teachers in north- west Scarborough.

Argue Over UFFI by Gay Abbate Users of the West Rouge Community Centre should be told that there is urea formaldahyde foam insula- tion (UFFI) in the walls ac- cording to Pat Clark, a New ion Town? You'll find a friend where you see this sign. For more information call 364-9010 member of HUFFI, a group attempting to get government action for homeowners with the for- maldahyde insulation. Clark told Scarborough Council last week that there is no safe level of UF - FI. Because it deteriorates over time, Clark believes that the insulation at West Rouge will eventually have to be removed. "Testing is not the answer to the problem. Removal is," Clark stated. But Scarborough's Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Keith Fitzgerald sees no reason why the users of West Rouge should be told of the UFFI anymore than his neighbours should have to post a sign on their door advising visitors that the house has UFFI. Controller Joyce Trimmer argued that the public has a right to the knowledge that the walls of West Rouge have UFFI. Controller Brian Harrison disagrees stating that he has to listen to experts such as Fitzgerald. "We shouldn't scare the public and get them upset," Har- rison told Council. Arguing that the public has already been alarmed, Controller Carol Ruddell ttracts Canadians by Tony Sloan River rafting in Canada, these past five years, has introduced thousands of people of all ages and from all walks of life to the wild and wonderful world of white water.

"We should advise people of the situation, of our resolution of the problem and that we're satisfied," Ruddell stated. Council will now attempt to get the Ministry of Con- sumer and Corporate Af- fairs to do further testing of the formaldahyde insula- tion at West Rouge. Highway 17 on the Ontario side (Hawkesbury P and via Highway 148 on the Quebec shore. In comparison to the previously mentioned and better known giants, the Rouge is a smaller ri ver and therein lies a special appeal. Narrow rivers like the Rouge offer the excitement of closer manoeuvring in rapids and chutes, adding further zest to an already heady experience. The eight passenger rafts, in- cluding guides, require full paddling participation by guests to navigate a parade of thrillers known as "ca- nyon". "turbo" and "mushroom" to name a few. The dirctors of W3 Aven- ture of Montreal rafted and kayaked the Rouge River for nearly a decade before scheduling one - and two- day tours to run May to Oc- tober. It takes between five and six hours with a lunch stop at the Riviere Rouge Restaurant which also serves as operational head- quarters for the tours.

Apr. 14, 1982 New space-age product more preventing motion sickness Notion sickness can cause total disability in some people. Many more are simply miserable. Nearly everyone can suffer some degree of motion sick- ness depending on the circumstances which vary from person to person. It is estimated that between two and four million Canadians, aged 19 and over, currently suffer significant discom- fort from some form of motion. Motion sickness is certainly not a new prob- lem. Famous sufferers in- clude Lawrence of Arabia (who is said to have beconne nauseous from riding camels) and Lord Nelson (who suffered acutely from seasickness). Nelson, in fact, was so well known a sufferer that the design of his monument in St. Paul's Cathedral incorporates a lion being sick to his stomach. This age-old illness also exists in space. About 30 per cent of American astro- nauts and, it is thought, about the same number of Russian cosmonauts have experienced motion sick- ness because of sustained weightlessness. Many sufferers do noth- ing to prevent being ill ("the stiff upper lip") while others simply avoid any situation that might cause motion sickness (-I'll stay at home-) and thus restrict their lives and confine their activities. Less than half take medi- cine which, for many, can cause drowsiness because of a sedative effect.

Other signs and symptoms may also be present although the victim may not always know it. Blood pressure, for ex- ample, may rise or fal I. The pulse rate and rate of res- piration may change and even the rate of removal of glucose from the blood may fluctuate. Intensity ranges from mild to debilitating. Ships, planes, cars, trains, anxxemer t rides and almost anything that moves can cause motion sickness. The root of the problem is the vestibular apparatus of the inner ear, a group of nerve fibers. Normally, they help people to maintain balance, but motion in some people in- creases the activity of the fibers, leading to dizziness, nausea and vorritting. USED IN SPACE "Transderm -V" has also been tested by the National Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration (NASA) in the United States and was actually used by one of the astronauts, Bob Crippen, on the Space Shuttle Col- umbia's first mission. The fart that the system is put in place in advance of exposure to motion helps in such cases. According to NASA's Dr. Jerry Horn- mick, "this is why we are interested in "Transderm - V". The fact that we can have the individuals pre- medicated so that once they are in orbit they are already protected. We don't want them to begin to experience symptoms and have to go in to a treatment mode. " When discussing the ex- tensive testing NASA did with -Transderm-V" and the astronaut corps, Dr. Homrrick • added, "I'm happy to report that we had no problems at all with side effects " The implications of `Transderm -V" are far- reaching. It has been clearly shown to prevent motion sickness and its symptoms without causing serious side effects in a greatly increased majority of cases. This means that millions of people who have reduced or eliminated travel in their lives can now consider it again. Many people who previously dreaded trips can find increased comfort.

Report from u: Queen's Park �. By George Ashe. MPP Durham West MINISTRIES MEAN NEW PRIORITIES FOR PROVINCE In March, Premier Davis realigned his Cabinet creating two new Ministries - the MINISTRY OF CITIZENSHIP AND CULTURE and the MINISTRY OF TOURISM AND RECREATION. These two Ministries will continue pro- gram established by the previous Ministry of Culture and Recreation and by the Tourism portion of the former Ministry of Industry and Tourism. The Ministry of Citizenship and Culture administers pro- grams in multiculturalism, citizenship, native culture, libraries, community information, the arts, and heritage conservation. The Ministry of Citizenship and Culture will also focus on many of Ontario's cultural agencies including the Royal Ontario Museum, the Ontario Science Centre, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the McMichael Canadian Collection. The Ministry of Tourism and Recreation recognizes the importance of the travel and hospitality industries to On- tario. Indeed, tourism stands second only to manufacturing in its contribution to the Provincial economy. For example, in 1979, 624,000 Ontarians were employed in tourism. During that year the tourist industry contributed $1.2 billion to Provincial tax revenues. Experts have calculated that the arrival of 1,000 tourists in any given town or region generates an average of $99,000 in income and creates five man-years of employment. In addition to administering programs supporting tourism and recreation, the Ministry oversees the operation of paries along the Niagara and the St. Lawrence waterways. the St. Clair Parkway Commission and historic sites formerly administered by the Ministries of Natural Resources and Culture and Recreation. With all these changes. many people are confused about who is in charge of the Government's Wintario Grant Pro- gram. The Ministry of Citizenship and Culture administers Wintario capital and non -capital grants while recreation, fitness and sports grants will be allocated by the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. The processing of applications for Wintario grants will continue to be the responsibility of the 18 existing communi- ty program offices. The community development con- sultants in each office will specialize in either the recrea- tion and sports field or the citizenship and culture field. With these Ministry specialists serving the public, both Ministries will be better prepared to support community in- itiatives and strengthen the lifestyle we enjoy in this pro- vince. �.� . Speaking ��. To You Stott Fennd M.P. I� Ontario Riding The nights of Nov. 12, 1961 and Oct. 28, 1980 will go down in Canadian History. It was on those days respectively, that Allan MacEachen introduced his second budget and Marc Lalonde, his Na- tional Energy Program. Both of these projects marked a profound philosophical change in the way Ottawa governs. The budget signals one thing first and foremost: govern- ment spending shall come before all other Gods. Prior to the budget, government expenditures were $58 billion. This fiscal year they will be at least $76.8 billion. By 1965-86 they will be at least $102 billion. Yet, because 25 percent of government revenues go to pay- ing off past debts, MacEachen recognizes that the budge. deficit must be reduced. His solution? He is raising taxes. It used to be that Ottawa acted as an example for the rest of the country. Now, with government spending increasing and Canadians being told to show restraint, Ottawa is no longer an example. It is an exception. This philosophical turnabout has long been coming. MacEachen's budget con- firms it and essentially says: "This is the new order of things." The National Energy Program implements a more radical philosophical change. Marc Lalonde has replaced the usual policy tools of goven- ment - tax incentives and tax punishments, with state in- tervention in the economy. Again, this change has been coming for a long time but the National Energy Program officially enshrines the concept and says to the private sec- tor: "Ottawa can do a better job than you." In my view, both these changes are ugly. I've known for a long time that the Liberal Party wants bigger government. In the past year I've come to see it also wants more: the castration of Canadian capitalism. I
