"We've put it to the test," says Harold Worley of Fournier, Ontario. "We put a match to a fresh nat- ural tree and another match to a plastic tree. 'With the artificial tree, fireballs of melting plastic started dropping on the rug while the natural tree was Laden with moisture and re- fused to catch fire.- He ire."He disputed statements from the Ontario Fire Marshal's office that arti- ficial trees were safer than natural ones.

" "When a natural tree is placed with the butt end in water, it has a 100 per cent moisture content. It's impossible to ignite. " The only time natural trees could be dangerous is if they're allowed to dry out over a considerable length of time, turning the moist needles into dry tinder.

"In most cases, even a tree which has been cut and stored for a considerable length of time can be re- generated. When set in water, it will recover and maintain a safe moisture content." The secret is to saw an inch or so off the old base. When a natural tree dries out, a film forms over the old cut which prevents moisture from being drawn up the trunk into the branches. Of course, the tree needs a constant supply of water at its base 6_ 6931fil, `C �Z. Z !C soN's 0 as well. The Christmas Tree Growers' Association of Ontario represents 175 growers and tree farm operators across the Province. Across Canada, some 40 per cent of Canadian families still prefer natural trees, Worley, says. Trees are grown as a field crop with thousands of acres planted and thousands of full-time employees and summer students engaged in tril•rrning and shaping the trees during their life span of five to 16 years. "Each year, for every tree harvested, three new trees are planted, mostly Scotch pine, spruce and balsam fir, " Worley says. The wholesaler -- or grower -- averages $10 to $11 a tree while the same tree will retail for $15 to $20. Many families also travel to tree farms in the weeks before Christmas to select and cut their own tree, carrying on an age-old tradition. Bradley Advertising Service Ltd.

"KEEP Si&LING" Pickering 831-2222 "It gives the whoie farm ly the Christmas spirit when they take part in an outing to a tree farm," says Worley. Some people complain that once Christmas is over, the tree is wasted but Wor- ley says there are many ways by which the tree's life can be extended. It can be used as a backyard bird feeder and as a shelter for birds in storms. Since a Christmas tree is biodegradable, the branches can be removed and used as mulch in the garden while the trunk can be used as f i rewood . Fir tree branches can be cut into small pieces and stuffed into pillows, adding the fresh aroma of a tree to cushions for chesterfields or bedrooms. Live potted trees are also available. Standing from two to four feet tall (in- cluding the pot), these trees can be brought in- doors for the Christmas season then set outside in the garden .,-11 $500 to the fund set up by local residents to benefit Miss Kathy Fowler, the young woman from Bay Ridges in Pickering who was hit by a car on Liver- pool Road and seriously in- jured. This action came after council had approved previously the waiving of the fee for the assembly hall in the Recreation Com- plex for the holding of a Variety Night in aid of Miss. Fowler, to offset the heavy expenses that will accrue from her long recov During the discussion the question of grants policy was debated and the mayor and Councillors Cahill and Robertson felt that the best route to follow in this case was the voluntary one and support of the drive now be- ing led by public-spirited residents of Pickering. Mayor Anderson and Councillor Cahill handed over their personal che- ques for the drive to the chairman, and the mayor said that he hoped that councillors would "dig deep" and help in anyway they could. The motion to approve the grant of $500 was made by Councillor Arthurs and .eaxhded by Councillor Kit- chen. The local drive is being led by Shane Coburn, an imnnediate neudoil , of the Fowlers, and a Variety Night and Dance is being planned for Fri. Feb 10. The well-known Labey Family of Lakefield, On - tai io will perform along with others, a lunch will be served, followed by a dance. A committee of concerned residents and neighbours is being formed by Mr. Coburn, and anyone in- terested in helping may contact him at 8393538. First House League Tourney The Pickering Hockey Association is holding its first annual House League Tournament at Don Beer Arena, Dec. 27th to 30th. Over 50 teams are ex- pected to participate, corn- ing from as far away as Kingston and the Niagara Falls area. Teams from all levels, novice to juvenile, will take part in the tournament and each team will be guaranteed at least two games. All participants will receive a small momento and the winners and runners-up will receive trophies. If the House League is as successful as their OMHA and Select teams, this should be a great tourna- ment to watch. Come out and cheer on your favouri to team. R.

Another co-op housing project got underway with con- struction last week in Malvern, initiated by the United Steelworkers of America and financed heavily by the federal government through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. This 63 unit housing project costs $4.3 million which is bor- rowed from private sources, but guaranteed by CMHC. But the key point affecting all taxpayers in Canada is that the CMHC over the 35 years of the mortgage will contribute up to 13 million to keep the mortgage interest down to two percent! This is a fantastic boost to those people who can qualify or otherwise get into these projects, but there must be hun- dreds of thousands of other Canadians who are paying taxes to make this possible, who should be benefitting from such a program as well. Why should some Canadians who are working pay a two percent mortgage when some are paying up to 14 percent interest to buy their homes? Wally Majesky, President of the Labour Council of Metropolitan Toronto, feels that the federal government should keep up this program because his labour unions have been very active in organizing co-ops for their members. MP Paul Cosgrove said that some decision on this matter was now being made by the government and indicated that there may be a "hard decision". In our opnion with a huge mounting debt which we tax- payers are going to find increasingly difficult to pay off in the future, such hand-outs to a few Canadians from a tax pot which has no funds are not justified. We are talking about billions of dollars of committment with no thought of hoiw this amount is to be paid in the coming years when a future government decides to balance the budget. A Better Idea It is certainly nice to know that not all Scarborough municipal politicians are committed to "one big city" and a majority have voted down a resolution of Mayor Harris that the city seek "direct elections to Metro". This is the rust step in a consolidation into one large city. 'ibis reaction was a response to a Metro committee which is trying to reform the Metro Council to provide morn equitable representation. Scarborough is entitled to more reps at Metro (two) while :Borth York and Etobicoke need one each. With 40 seats at present at the Metro level which is far too many. we believe that Controller Ken Marish's idea of reducing the number of Metro council members to 32 with the city of Toronto having 8 or 9 seats would be a far more effective and less costly way of making representa- tion more equal. After all every new member of Metro council will require a salary plus services and this adds up to taxes on property - too big a drag on the economy if we are all going to win the battle of economics. We don't need more government, nor do we need more government costs. We need less government and a reducing drain an the taxpayers. Let's get behind Ken Morrsh's pro- posal - it sounds sensible to us. Housing Up Again November activity in the Metro region showed an im- provement over October and gave the Toronto Real Estate Board good reasons to expect that 1963 would be a record year for MLS residential sales, President Tom Bosley said last week. Members reported over ioo more sales than in October. "In November we had 2,436 MIS house sales reported, up from October's 2,328, and with only 1,629 in December we would exceed the record total of 29,625 reported in 1961," Mr. Bosley said. "There are many signs of improving health in our economy. The public is showing confidence in real estate; retailers are also aware of growing confidence among con- sumers; the inflation rate has been coming down and so have mortgage rates, and yesterday Statistics Canada repotted that the number of people drawing unemployment insurance was the lowest in two years. Those are all good indicators." Drive Like Your Life Depends On It - It Does!

( Photo - Bob Watson r Christmas Celebration Stems From Many Religions Religious competitiveness of the early Christians in the Roman Empire resulted in the annual celebration of Christmas on Dec. 25th, according to a University of Toronto historian. Prof. Bert Hall says the date of Dec. 25 was developed as an alternative holiday for Christians in the same society as the pagan Romans who were celebrating the festival of the sun god. Saturnalia, Dec. 17-23, was another Roman festival held at that time. It was a boisterous Mehra - tion of the end of the vin- tage and harvesting to honour Saturnus, god of agriculture, and marked the start of the winter solstice, the beginning of winter (Dec. 20.21). Explains Hall, "Historians have no scrip- tural or other historical evidence for the exact date in the year for the birth of Jesus, and the Christians were hard-pressed to keep themselves distinct from the culture they lived in." Hall says Christianity became the predominant religion of the Roman Em- pire from about 330 A.D. onward, and former pagan customs were adapted to Christmastide. The evergreen tree and the fruitbearing holly and mistletoe are symbols dating back to the Druids. The legend of Father Christmas with his sleigh full of presents harts back to a fourth century bishop who won his saintly reputa- tion by travelling around the countryside helping the needy - St. Nicholas, from which "Santa Claus" is derived, is still honoured in the Netherlands by gift -giving on Dec. 6. Christians in the Greek part of the world simply had no need to compete with Roman festivals so they adopted the Feast of the Epiphany on Jan. 6, which marks the acknowledgement of Christ as the Saviour by the three wise men. The Greek Orthodox Church continues to stress Christ's divinity rather than His birthday. In England, from 1642-1662, the Puritans con- demned the "twelve days of Christmas" celebrations which diverted the populace from twelve days of work. The Pilgrims carried this attitude to North America, where Christmas became a more important holiday after Irish and German im- migrants arrived in the 19th century. Prof. Hall looks at today's calendar - somewhat ironically - and says, "The start of the Christmas season has been advanced to All Saints Day, Nov. 1, to meet current commercial demands! " Bob's Notes No Lunch For Me Well, last week I thought I would go and enjoy the Annual Italian Day Luncheon at the North York City Hall. But I drove around the city hall for ten minutes and couldn't find a place to park. So scratch one person from the list of diners! I observed that other people also gave up the battle to stop with their car. Let's face it - North York Council has provided completely inadequate parking for those wishing to enjoy activities at the city centre. The main parking serves the library, city hall, community centre and board of education. Of course, employees and officials all have nice parking underground or on the surface. We suggest that some idea be put to improving this parking so more citizens can participate in these nice events at the city centre. 'Things Are Simmering After last week's article in our paper about "Scarborough Election Fever", talk at various events has been intense about who is running for what and where! Both the federal and provincial elections coming up in the next year or so should be very interesting! Mainstream Canada Our farmers deserve a pat on the back Hi 14'. Roger Itiorth With this year's crop either ,old, in the barn or in storage. N perhaps time Canadians "Cle reminded that the .0 10n farmers are makittg an .rcdible contribution to our .,,li-bring and standard of :ng. Here are a few of the impar- ' ant facts. In west Germany, con- .urners pay about a third of :ake-home pay on food items. In Japan, where utak can cost w, much as S40 per pound. people spend close to 40 per :cru of take-home pay on :.xxl. Yet in Canada, people spend only an average 2.' per cent of cake -home pay on food, mak- ing us one of the better -off countries m which to live. So do we thank our farmers for a job well done? Not on your fife! Again this fall we are getting the usual complaints that food prices are too high, even though price increases have been Less than those on manufactured goods. And consumers continue to decry high food costs, even though farm profits are generally static or even down. Part of the problem is that the agricultural community always seems to be complain- ing, yet most times they've got good reason. When interest rates went through the roof to between 20 and 25 per cent less than two years ago, for example, food prices failed to rise enough to cover the higher payments on huge farm loans. so many farmers were forced into bankruptcy. Few consumers noticed. Again. when fertilizer and equipment prices were rising dramatically. most consumers yawned, even though a lot of the farm communky was ac- tually losing money on opera- tions. As a group, farmers tend to be outspoken. Nevertheless. one thing is dear. The nation's farmers arc doing a topnotch job, and they're doing it well. Canada. for example. con- tinues to be one of the largest exporters of food, able to compete in the international marketplace with the bat in the world. At the same time, many foreigners envy Cana- dian consumer food prices. Still, there's one crucial fact that should be noted. While one country after another is forced to import foodstuffs, Canada, thanks to our efficient fanners, continues to be a net exporter of food. so we're not about to face shortages. Consumers. and particularly those living in our major cities, should give these matters a fit - tic thought. Rather than com- plaints, the nation's fanners deserve a pat on the back. MR Fearwe $ervnle Scarborough Ups Its Garden Allotment Charge The charge for allotment gardens is going up by $2 in 1984 to $12. The reason for the in- crease is to defray the cost to the city of providing por- table toilets. The city has 400 such garden plots in the Hydro transmission line at Daven- try Rd. and at Givendale Rd. The city presently pro- vides fencing, water, gar- bage collection and rototW- ing but no toilet facility. The request for this addi- tional service came from users of the plots.

Renovations have recent- ly been completed on a Vic- torian house at 406 Jarvis St. to provide the acclaim- ed Teacher Training Course with its own dance studio, warm up space, lec- ture hall, audio visual room, library, lounge, shower and changing rooms. A grant of $107,975 from the Government of Ontario has helped defray the casts of the renovation. .Minister of Citizenship and Culture, the Hon. Susan Fish authorized the grant saying, "The Na- tional Ballet School is one of Canada's, indeed the world's, finest training cen- tres for young dancers. The creation of a Teacher Training facility will only serve to enhance the School's already sterling reputation and will provide greater opportunities for career development in the field of dance. I am delighted that my ministry is able to support this stage of the School's develop. meat." The Teacher Training pro- gram was formally established in 1977 and enrolment has grown from 11 students in that first year to over 44 currently. The new facility is urgently needed to ease over- crowding in the School's Maitland Street complex. Co -directors Betty Oliphant and William D. Poole also announced the school's gratitude to The Richard Ivey foundation which has contributed $M,000 towards the new facility.

Dr. J. Ashman who con- ducted the study, found that the pound is providing an above average level of care for the animals under its control. Local politicians see this as a vindication of the pound which had been ac- cused by the public of not providing adequate care to animals and of not attemp- ting to notify owners of pets taken to the shelter. However, despite the praise lavished on the pound, it was also given a Can Change by Gay Abbate The arts can help change Scarborough's "Scarberia" image says Jack Ross. the new Ex- ecutive Director of Arts Scarborough.

Dec. 14, 1983 Bill Watt's Worlds PREAMBLE: Two major openings On Stage this past week. One is at The O'Keefe, the other at the Royal Alex. Let's go first to see what's on ... AT THE O'KEEFE Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is probably the shortest book musical we've ever seen. It runs, with intermission, about 100 minutes. It's also one of the spriteliest, liveliest and most thoroughly enjoyable shows in our ken, recent or otherwise. The title says it all. It's a re -telling in a soft Rock oriented fashion of the beloved Old Testament tale of Joseph sold into slavery by his brothers, rising to prominence in Egypt and Fantasy Factory Dance Studio e11«s canons M jar, condom, w�osswwM danowclaa, cn+Mdraa's b"s and wadon. wNe thaatra roekaU.

The music and lyrics are by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice (Jesus Christ. Superstar, Evita ) and are thoroughly en- joyable but forgettable. We predict it will be at- least a year or so before such songs as One More Angel in Heaven and Those Canaan Days are recalled to fond memory. The other songs are equally good but are unsupportable outside of the story line. (Quick now, name more than two songs from Evita! ) It's an ensemble show and individual performances are difficult to single out. Still, mention must be made of diminutive Robin Boudreau as the narrator. She reminds one of Evelvn Keyes in the 1948 motion picture A Thousand and One Nights. She sings well but even without her vocalising she would be ef- fective if for nothing more than her sheer enthusiasm. The movement of her lithe young body across the stage is wondrous to behold. ------------ --------i .TRIS , I Unique Eating Play in Toronto iM DANFOM AVE. Fay L--" PliM& 466.1967 uadw Lu.o.

We liked the singing and dancing of Stephen Belida as one of Joseph's brothers and the powerful singing voice of Charlie Serrano as another is gorgeous to hear. It's almost cantorial in its splendour but suitably "Broadway" in impact. Hal Davis is Pharaoh as played by Elvis Presley ( not a reprise but rather a forerunner of the role in Jesus Christ, Superstar) and is wildly effective and richly comic. The nominal star is David Cassidy and he wears the mantle of stardom well. He has looks - more and more all the time like his late father - and presence. His voice is good and his movements brisk. He is what is known in the trade as a personality actor rather like say, Gregory Peds. So strong is his per- sonality that he cannot sublimate himself in a role. He is and, one presumes, always will be David Cassidy and that ain't bad. Neither is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. In fact, it's one of the best musicals around. Catch it quickly because it's also on its last time around. AT THE ALEX. It's Panto time again and this year it's Dick Whit- tington and His Cat. If you see it by yourself or with another adult you'll see a show that's amiable enough but which is just short of being tacky. See it with a child however and you'll experience a wonderland of delights. It's the children in the audience that really make the show from the squeal - ng to Dick to wakeup right through to the little girl that hugged the at on stage.

Last week we took in the three act play but skipped the dinner. We heard, however, the next table of women discussing how good they had found the meal. Certainly the menu was interesting with roast prime ribs of beet' au jus, or filet mignon with fried mushrooms, New York sirloin or roast leg of On- tario Lamb with mint sauce. And there was Sea Food Plate as well. Look- ing at the cherry cheese cake and Black Forest cake for dessert, it did sound very good. But back to the show. The one to re-evaluate our perhaps sated theatrical values and see again the bright sets, shimmering costurries and mildly spec- tacular special effects. The music too takes on a brighter tone as it accom- panies the singing and dan- cing of the perfumers. The performers? Well, they're alright too one sup- poses. Eric Sykes is funny in the manner of British Thirties comedies and the Principal boy has great legs. We should mention that the comedic ac- complishments of Mr. Sykes arc noteworthy in- asmuch as be is deaf and cannot hear the audience reaction. Ballerina Karen Kain does just enough dancing to make one bog to see her in more familiar territory. Mind you, one is impressed by the work of an unknown dancer from the chorus wbD •partnered her. Either be is better than we thought or Miss Kain simply makes him look good. And, although we've never forgiven him for marrying Miss Kain we do have to say that as much as a stow like this can have a star it is Ross Petty as King Rat the villain. His villainy never falters but it never frightens either. The man has a fine sense of humour and he exhibits it well. Nice to bear him singing again too. It's not a powerful voice but it's strong and steady- Taken teadyTaken all in all Dick Whit- tington is not at all a bad show but you really should see it with a child ON SCREEN: Clint Eastwood's back for the fourth time as Dirty Harry, this time in an opus Of sorts titled Sudden Im- pact. (Michael Landon recently suggested a televi- sion series about a dentist to be called Sudden Impac- tion.) This time he's check- ing out a series of murders where the victims - all men - have been shot in the genitals and the head. Much other violence ensues and Eastwood fans love it. At the invitational screen- ing we attended, the au- dience applauded when Harry decides to go for "the gun" not unlike the memorable moment when Jimmy Stewart in Destry Rides Again straps on his gun belt. One supposes that another highlight should be men, most important part of Mrs. Griffin, the wife who is trying to get her husband "in the mood" is played very well by Valerie Boyle. If you see this play, you will not forget the very ample bosom of Valerie which is constantly in front of the audience at all times. Valerie has a lot of dialogue to do and she handles it in her English accent very well. Her husband, Mr. Griffin, is played well by Simon Joynes. Attired as he was in a lady's dress throughout the play, we sympathized with his part. One of the key players is Connelly, played by Eric Fink, who is supposed to be the apartment caretaker, who is being called upon to do more than fix the water heater. In fact, he is coo- X. tion d. That's when a dog passes wind. One is temp- ted to paraphrase Sir Thomas Beecham and remark "Attrocious man- ners but Gad, what a critic! . Cinesphere at Ontario Place begins its series of winter showings tonight with Staying Alive. Other films will be listed as they come up but we want to mientmn a few now for your consideration. They are Superman III, Pink Floyd. The Wall, Star Trek II, The Empire Strikes Back and Apocalypse Now. We saw the last named a week ago at an invitational screening and an only repeat what we have said before .. you really haven't experienced a motion pwc ture until you've seen it at To 'll be seeing To Be Or Not To Be with Mel Brooks and tomorrow we'll view Two Of A Kind with John Travoolta and Olivia Newton -John. Full reviews follow. Mickey Mouse returns to the screen for the fust time in thirty years portraying Bob Cratchit in Mickey's Christmas Carol. We haven't seen it yet (it opens this Friday) and we're wondering if the pro- tagonist will be Donald Duck's Uncle Scrooge. Finally, there's a grand old movie on Global at 2 a.m. (what a dreadful time!) this Saturday. It's The Cowboy and the Lady starring Gary Cooper, Merle Oberon, Walter Brennan and Patsy Kelly. They're all gone from us now but thankfully we can still see them as they were. Migawd, Patsy Kelly! ON RECORD: Here are two from Attic that we suggest would make excellent Christmas Presents. They are Louis Clark ( Hooked On Classics) and the Royal Philharmonic "Plays the Music of the Beatles" and The Best of the Two Ron- nies. Those who have ex- perienced the two Rennes on PBS will need no further comments from this scrib- bler. IN PRINT: The nicest thing about giv- ing books as presents is that you have the chance to read there yourself before Passing their. along. Here then are some books which prove it's almost as good to ;give as it is to get. , stantly being dragged into the Griffin's bed very reluctantly! Enter the burglar acted by Alan Hills, whose presence naturally com- plicates an already mixed up situation (isn't that always the way?) The final actor is Louise, handled nicely by Brenda Webb, but is only in the play in the third and last act. The audience appeared to us to enjoy the play un- mensely and with the ac- tors pursuing their craft so close to one's table it did come across very well. The Silver Nugget is just north of Sheppard and Mc- Cowan with dinner and the show at $19.96 and the show only at $8.00. Drop in - it's on till Dec. 23rd. The Guiness Book of Amazing People (Pic- colo/Pan) is one of those books that you can read cover to cover or hold for casual perusal. We find it perfect bedtime reading . . light, amusing and occa- sionally informative. We think you'll be interested to learn, for instance, that it was in 1977 at the CNE when Lance Corporal Graham Fidler established a world record by somer- saulting over 32 of his col- leagues in the Junior Leaders Gyrnnastic Team of the Royal Engineers. We might have set some kind of sew for awkward con- struc'tion in that sentence. The Cartoon Guide to Computer Science (Fit- zheary & Whiteside) is an amusing way to introduce oneself to the science of computers. Notwithstan- ding the title it's not really an easy book to read but it's a dam site easier than any other book on the sub- ject and we recommend it on that basis alone. Cars and How They Go is intended for children but we found it quite useful. Cars have always been mysterious to us but this charming little boost has cleared up much of that mystery. We still can't fix our foul Fairmont but now we an usually tell what the problem is .. apart from the fact that it should never have been built in the fist place. From the same sher (Fitzhenry A Whiteside Canada) comes Why I Cough, Sneeze, Hiccup & Yawn. It's a basic explana- tion of the nervous system and how it works. The text is by Melvin Berger and while he is not a man of science he has done his homework well. The il- lustrations by Holly Keller are simple without ever be- ing cutesy. APOLOGIA: Annie is playing currently at the Limelight Dinner Theatre, one of our favorite spots just as Annie is one of our favorite shows. It deserves a longer review than our space will permit and so we are going to delay it until the next col- umn. But, for heaven's sake, don't wait for our review. The show is so fill- ed with good music that it can hardly miss. Good holi- day entertainment. , Winners of the Ontario Trustees' Association Public Speaking Award. Scarborough residents Pauline Browes and Edmund Quinn. met recently to reminisce about their previous experiences. Edmund Quinn. raised at Castleton. Ontario, received the award five years prior to Pauline Browes, who was born at Harwood. Rice Lake, Ontario. They first met at a Scar- borough event and discovered they had both been suc- cessful in the U.T.A. competition for the Province of On- tario. Coincidentally, they both had the same teacher. Mrs. Nellie Stillman, who has taught in the respective com- munities. Pauline Browes and Edmund Quinn are very ac- tive today in the community life of Scarborough. Filipinos Total 45,000 It is estimsated that 60,000 Filipinas have settled in Ontario with about 45,000 in Metro Toronto. In 1944, Filipmos ranked sixth among immigrants entering Canada. A heavy concentration of im- migrants within the X39 age group was evident, and maks were steadily out- numbered by females. The image of pioneering females seems to fit the Filipino cultural pattern. "Women have for centuries been treated as equal part- ners there, and even con- trol the finances of the home," Tessie Jew said. In 1968 there were large numbers of nurses, medical and dental techni- cians and physicians and surgeons. A study done over a decade ago estimated that one out of every four foreign nurses entering Canada came from the Philipmes. The 1941 distribution show a decline in the profes- sional group and a con- siderabie increase in the clerical and manufacturing categories. Family patterns have changed. Since first arrival the marked increase in the numbers of children and also the elderly is strong evidence of a pattern of family migration. What happened a decade later? Where are they now? What do they do? In a "women's community" what are their concerns and challenges? Answers will hopefully be found through the Filipino Provincial Conference that will attract about 450 par- ticipants from all over the province. NY Man Adopts Them Robert Matthews, a longtime resident of North York, has adopted four ex- tra grandparents through Help the Aged's 'Adopt -A - Gran' program. Mr. Mathews, an in- surance broker and board member of Forest Grove United Church, says, "It's what you do for others that counts." His grans live in Sri Lanka, India and Jamaica and would be destitute were it not for his monthly sponsorship payments. It costs just $18 per month to Adopt A Gran, so little in our terms. But to the elderly people living in poor developing countries, with no pensions or social security, these payments are everything. Anyone wanting more in- formation about 'Adopt -A - Gran' should come and see the display at the Don Mills Centre on Dec. 15, 16 or 17, or call Help the Aged at 4891146. For the price of four cups of coffee a day, Mr. Mat- thews is giving hope to the twilight years of his new elderly relatives and show- ing them that someone in Canada cares.

THE CIT RBOROV VH Scarborough Snow Sense Works Department HELP US HELP YOU Your assistance this winter will help the City of Scarborough Works Department provide better service with its snow control operations. ❑ It takes approximately 30 hours to clear all 1,100 km of roads in Scarborough after a storm has ended. Please help us by not calling the Works Department during this time to report uncleared roads or plugged driveways. It is not possi- ble to plough Scarborough's roadways without blocking driveways. To clear the 70,000 driveway entrances would result in a tremendous increase in the tax rate. ❑ The Highway Traffic Act prohibits parking cars so they in- terfere with snow removal operations. Vehicles parked on roads slow cleanups and cost Scarborough taxpayers an ad- ditional $100,000.00 each year. ❑ Sidewalks are more easily cleared when the snow is fresh and untrampled. By-laws No. 17117 and 17123 require that the snow be removed from the walk by the property owner within a reasonable time. The City sidewalk snow clearing program includes heavily used walks on main arterial roads and sidewalks adjacent to single family residences of senior citizens, upon request of the resident. ❑ Snow from the sidewalks and driveways should be thrown back onto the lawns or boulevards and not onto the road surface. Putting snow onto the roadway is not only a safety hazard, it is also illegal. ❑ Fire hydrants should not be buried under mounds of snow. They must be visible and accessible to your Fire Depart- ment in the event of fire. For further information regarding snow removal operations, please call the Works Department at 296-7372. SportS Report By Glenn Sutherland METRO JUNIOR B HOCKEY LEAGUE The Wexford Raiders came out of the week with a win over the Bramalea Blues but it was almost a tie. With seconds to go in the game, the Bramalea players slapped at the puck around the Wexford goal crease to put it by former Blues' goalie Dave Barton. It crossed the line but after a long discussion with the oaljudge, timekeeper an the the two linesmen, ht' was derided that thegoal did not count and the final score ended up as 4-3.

As parents you can and should take steps to help your child. Many things can be done. (let an Honest Appraisal of Your Chiid's Situation Ask your family physi- cian to evaluate yaw child- If hildIf the physician doesn't think your child is overweight, don't dwell on the issue. But d your child is too fat, do something now without further delay. The physician can also determine if there is an underlying disease causing the problem. Such diseases are rare and should be treated if they do exist. If they don't, they should not be used as an excuse for lack of action. Do Not Put Your Child On A Reducing Diet Studies have shown that weight reduction can per manently interfere with growth and development. Try to stop further weight gain and allow the child to "grow into" his present weight. Make sure the youngster eats all the foods necessary for growth but limits or eliminates high calorie foods. Fat -proof your house. Rid the house of foods you know your child should not be eating. Don't buy special foods. Your child can eat the same foods as the rest of the family. Don't expect your rhld to eat the same amounts as you do. '"The Great Food Adventure", available from your local Health Department, gives guides to c1likkized portions. Don't encourage overeating by coaidng your child to clean his plate. Look for ways to trim calories during food preparation by reducing the amount offal: and sugar used. Make sure that snacks are low calorie. If the Child is given or earns money. encourage him to spend it on treats other than food. Be firm.

To Appeal OMB Decision by Gay Abbate Scarborough Is going to appeal to the provincial cabinet a decision of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) to allow a restaurant on a small site on the south-east corner of Ellesmere and Birch - mount. The decision to appeal took two and one-half hours of debate at council. The site was originally zoned to permit restaurant uses on the 24,000 sq. ft. lot but the owner about three years ago, surrendered the use in exchange for addi- tional coverage. Now, however, the owner feels a restaurant is crucial to the success as well as funding of the proposed plaza. ScarboroughCouncil earlier this year had turned down the application for restaurant use because of community opposition and inadequate parking. Controller Carol Ruddell, who supported the appeal to cabinet, argued that failure to express the city's dissatisfaction with the OMB decision would jeopardize future applica- tions before that body. Taking an opposing view was Alderman Joe DeKort who said council would lose its credibility if it appeall- ed the decision since the OMB was merely restoring the original zoning.

Dec. 9 they represented Scarborough in the CEO Challenge Cup Series and won both dual meets against select teams from Durham and Toronto regions. In both meets Scar- borough prevailed seven matches to three. Double match winners for Scar- borough were Ran Burgle 46 kilos, Todd Inndency 57 kilos. Horace Bignall 62 kilos and Sang Kim 74 kilos. This was only the beginn- ing of a very busy week as twelve high school age club members invaded Bishop Ryan and competed in their very high calibre in- vitational. When the fugal match was fuiished Scarborough Olympic Wrestling Club had finished as runner up to the host school who is two-time defending OFSSA champion and is favoured to repeat again. SOWC members Scott Hayes 9* of Thomson C.I. and Horce Bignall of Campbell C.I. wan their weight classes while Keith Robinson of Churchill C.I. was runner up in the heavy weight class. Other placers for Scar- borough were George Racansky, 3rd, Borden C.1. ; Steve Han 67k 4th and Mark Casswell 751E, 4th, Woburn C.I. ; Jun Kim 71k, 4th, Wexford C.I. Fourteen of the top teams in Ontario competed in this meet. To finish off the weekend ten SOWC bantams and midgets invaded Bishop Ryan's first annual age group tournament and won six weight classes. Midgets Scott Hayes 58k, Cameron Bryan 55k, and Steve Han 68k and bantam's In Kim 48k, Robzikic 42k and Dar- ryl Gillis 55k won their weight classes. Stagger Hours Scarborough council has voted to adopt staggered working hours for its employees. The program approved by council will be for a trial period of six months. During the period, any employee who so wishes can change his work hours. Starting times will be bet- ween 7:30 a. m. and 8:30 a.m. with quitting time bet- ween 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Reason for introducing this trial program is to im- prove service and to reduce congestion of town centre area roadways and city parking lobe. _ . New "Down Under" Flavour At Zoo A definite "down under" flavour is being added to the Metro Toronto Zoo as work contines on the Australian Nocturnal Building, scheduled to open on Boxing Day ( Dec. 26) in conjunction with the an- nual Christmas Treats Walk. This darkened building will enlighten zoo visitors as to the appearance and habits of many of Australia's wildlife. Just inside the entrance, visitors will be able to view Australia's answer to the flying squirrel, the Sugar Glider. Close by will be the Four- eyed opposums and marine toads. Further along will be recognizable species such as the carnivorous Tasmanian devil and the powerfully built Wombat. The other animals such as the Echnida, Bettong and Kowari will probably not be as familiar. Short, stout spines cover the Echnida, hence its other name, the spiny anteater.

Shane is an immediate neighbour of this young woman and is organiz- ing a local committee to make the event a success. We wish them the best. In my humble opinion, cases such as this one, demonstrate the need for public acceptance of the idea of doing something about the question of drinking and drunk drivers, and also, about the seemingly endless proliferation of liquor outlets. For heaven's sake, if you own a little delicatessen or a hamburger outlet in some back or residen- tial street you have no trouble whatsoever getting a licence from the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario. The Addiction Research Foundation has a very simple equation based on sound research that says that increased consumption of alcohol increases the problems and that in- creased availability of the product increases the consump- tion. We all tend to be lispy and faint-hearted when it comes to affirmative action in the area of alcohol control and the punishment meted out for alcohol-related offenses, but surely this goes to the root of the problem. Let's face it, the history of Canada and the United States demonstrates that so-called 'hard drinking' is the manly thing to do. We haven't learned, as Europe has learned, how to drink socially. Also, the advertising of beer, equating the drinking of beer with the upbeat, healthy lifestyle of being "one of the boys" is just a crock of phoney nonsense. On the positive side,the public awareness on this subject, due to many recent sad episodes, is being raised dramatically. Speaking ki n P 9 To You Scott Fennel M.P. Ontario Riding The Liberal Government has finally decided to prorogue Parliament and thereby ending the longest session of Parliament in Canadian history. This session will be remembered not only for being the longest but also the most turbulent. and the most expensive. The Canadian public has paid dearly for this session, even though the Government has repeatedly stated that they would bring Government sperding under control. Since they have been in power, they have turned a bu*d surplus of $493 million into a record deficit of $31.3 billion dollars. Because of their bungling and inefficiency, the interest on the national debt alone will cast the taxpayers $17.6 billion dollars. The Government has done just about everything possible to destroy the country, discourage the investment sector and remove the incentive that will get this country moving. It is time for the Government to stop the Canadairs and review the Deveos, as the Canadian taxpayers cannot af- ford any more of these ridiculous handouts. The people of Canada want action instead of words and promises. They want the Government to show some responsibility and re- quire the recipients of these handouts to at least be held ac- countable. But the Liberal Government has demonstrated over and over again that they are not interested in the wishes of the general public. One area in which the Government excells is preaching restraint. Yet at the same time, the Government had no qualms at spending $15.8 million on food and entertainment in 1962 - 1983. With this kind of restraint policy, the pre(hc- tion which the Prime Minister made in 1969, that Canada would be on the road to finncial disaster if nothing was done to control Government - will definitely become a reality. physical structure of the structure in combination feathers.

By George Ashe. MPP Durham West Holiday preparations - Be Safe, Not Sorry Preparations for the holiday season are well underway, ,and at this time, we must all be a little more aware of the safety of our loved ones. There are many simple things we can all do to make sure the holiday season passes safely. When purchasing your Christmas tree - make certain that it has not dried out. Bend one of the branches - if it springs back, it is fresh. If it snaps, it is too dry. Bounce the tree on the ground once or twice - if a lot of needles fall off, that should not be the tree you select. Cut the bottom two inches off the trunk on a diagonal, to allow the tree to absorb more water. Make sure your Christmas tree stand is stable and secure, and has a good water reservoir. All Christmas lights should be CSA approved, and should not be in direct contact with any combustible material. The tree should not be located near a heat outlet, nor should it block an exit. When shopping for toys for small children, safety should be a prime concern. Check that any attached parts can not be easily removed. Toddlers have a habit of putting ab- solutely everything into their mouths, and a small particle could cause choking or suffocation. Pay attention to the ,recommended age' labelling - it is a good guide for what is safe for young children. On Christmas Day, when all the wrappings are discarded, don't throw them in the fireplace or stove. Paper burns with an intense heat, and if there is a creosote buildup in the chimney, a chimney -fire might be the result. As a year-round safety feature, the fire department recommends the use of smoke detectors. Most fire deaths are caused by asphyxiation from smoke - and a smoke detector will warn you and your family while there is still time to take action. Smoke alarms also make very thoughtful gifts - any time of the year. Use your common sense in preparing for the holidays and em" that everyone enjoys a safe and happy Christmas. In so doing, you guarantee that you and yours are around to enjoy a healthy and prosperous 1964.
