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

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.

Pickering Residents opposed To Beare Rd. 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.

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

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

not believe that it should be

He said he sympathizes

because they have been

the radioactive soil a

number of conditions.
Metro's main concern is
how long the soil would re-

Members of the Metro
Committee were afraid
that once it is removed to

will become "permanent".

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.,'

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.
Ruddell was addressing a
request by the Community
Association Co-ordinating
Committee (CACC) , an
umbrella group of Com-
munity Associations in
Scarborough.
The CACC has argued that
our lawyers should not
question the legal status of
associations in opposition

to the borough since they
do not when the same
groups support the
borough.
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.
Centennial Rouge United
by Millie Hull
Did the sun actually
on Easter Sunday morn-
ing? No doubt it did but i
certainly was not visible t
the few" hardy souls w
met at the mouth of
Rouge River to celebrate
communion on this Hol
Day.
As we went through
printed service a heavy
snow shower obliterated
the typed words making i
almost impossible to read
them. It was a lovely ser-
vicedespite it alland at
point three majestic white
swag swam down stream
toward the lake.
On out return to the hall
the cold and snow were
forgotten as we enjoyed
pancakes, sausages and
fruit tapped off with hot
coffee. All this was
prepared by Henry and
Marion Wilkens for our en-
joyment and our sincere

thanks to them for their
rose contribution.
We did enjoy a fine social
t time to start off this most
o important day of the Chris-
tian calendar. At 11 a.m.
the we returned to a larger -
than -normal congregation
Y to hear the Easter message
which we were told was one
the
of ..lope..
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.

Scarborough Is The Best
by Gay Abbate
Scarborough has been
awarded the Cochrane Cup
for 1982.
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.
Scheduled for April 20 to
23 at Sir Alexander
Mackenzie Sr. Public
School, (during regular
school hours), the
organizers hope it will im-
prove the quality and quan-
tity of young authors' work.

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,

appeal.
Narrow rivers like the
Rouge offer the excitement
of closer manoeuvring in

further zest to an already

and six hours with a lunch
stop at the Riviere Rouge

serves as operational head-
quarters for the tours.

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.

itting. 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.
Many wi II no longer need to
"suffer through" with a stiff

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.

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.
