Mrs. Homer makes aprons, among other things, in the seamstress' house at Blade Creek Pioneer Village, on the northwestern outskirts of Toronto. •'lite aprons have been bought," she says, -by visitors from almost every country in the world." As official seamstress of the mid -1800s living crossroads community, at the corner of Steeles Ave. and Jane St. Mrs. Homer demonstrates the day-to- day life of a dressmaker of the 1850s. Employed at the Village for the past seven years, Shirley also turns out towels, pincushions and other small gifts, all authentic replicas of the News........ of your community can be published in this newspaper Call 291.2583 for details mid -19th century penod. A former assistant teacher at a dancing school in England, Mrs. Ho also had her own da school in Scarborough, and still teaches and lives in city, combining her in- structional duties with preparation of costumes for student presentations. She works at Black Creek four days a week. A great many of the ques- tions Shirley is asked by visitors to the seamstress' quarters at the Village con- cern cern the Wheeler and Wilson sewing machine uses. Unlike modern machines, which stitch for- ward from the operator, this 1854 model machine sews sideways. Designed for factory use, Shirley says it has a g treadle set-up. There a staps that go over the in- step of the operator's feet, giving greater stability to the person's movement and the treadle accommodates Homer both feet at once. race By the middle of the 19th century, the distaffside of the the household began to assert herself and demand the some of life's newer conve- niences. And so, even though it took some time for them to catch on, sew- ing machines were soon to become a normal part of household equipment. The machin Shirley uses on does not sew backwards, a fact she says is of no great she importance because, in those earlier times, there was no need to reinforce stitches. The making of aprons, which occupies a goodly portion of Mrs. Homer's good time, played a very impor- tant part in the 1850s household.

Retailers feel that this Christmas has shown that consumers are willing to spend again, so they are more confident. Manufacturers are not quite so keen because our exports have been slipping downwards from their dizzy heights, but they are not bad. But then there is government' William Davis' government is still giving away a five percent increase when we are all trying to get inflation down to two percent. Mr. Davis' gang has slapped more taxes on gasoline (which translates into inflation for the movement of goods and services) as well as killing the tourist industry with heavy taxes on liquor and sales taxes on hotel rooms ( tourism could be our most im- portant money maker in 1984 1. Let's not look at Ottawa and the federal scene because more than a glance would depress even the most fantastic optimist. That government is still building a huge debt for all o: us to bear. People out of work still draw money - but don't work - so their morale ( and the morale of the rest pay- ing the billions of unemployment insurance) is very low. Those of us who are working are paying more into govern- ment to make up for those who are not paying in ( the unemployed). It is a no-win situation because our Ottawa government is dishing out money in the form of grants, han- douts• loans etc. at an unbelievable rate. Of course, those who watch government know that the federal government hasn't been run by politicians for many years - and the civil servants and political henchmen who do run this country really don't know what they are doing. What would you do to convect our economic ills' Well, first of all it is sad for people to be out of work more than a month because most humans' morale goes downhill. So we would increase the inflow of the armed forces to take in up to 250,000 men and women. Never mind making armaments - let's get our human military resources in order. Besides, it is no more expensive than having than on unemployment insurance. And let's pressure the U.S. Treasury to get the interest rates down. We can't make this economy work unless in- terest rates drop at least two more percent. Then there are the banks. These institutions today are least receptive to small private entrepreneurs than ever before. Big business can np banks off for billions, but let small enterprise fail for just $100.0w and them is a hue and cry from those bankers. Of course, once again this is a federal matter and we won't get any action on this until we have a change of govern- ment. We could have everyoneworking in this country. We need imagination. know-how and intelligence, three ingredients in short supply it seems. But don't be discouraged. Individual Canadians by sheer guts can overcame all of these obstacles.

King, President-eiect of tM Toronto Real Estaa Board -We wonder w•hy it has taken so long for high-level criticism of the federal non-profit housing program to emerge in Ottawa. The federal minister responsible for housing has been quoted as saying that man who benefit do not need public assistance, but without indicating an end to the program or a rra )or overhaul. CMHC says mnstruc- tion costs for projects built under the program could be 60 percent higher than for pnvate dwellings and operating costs about :3u percent higher than for private -sector ac- commodation. "The Toronto Real Estate Board has made it plain in re- cent years that we have had serious doubts about the pro- gram from its inception - particularly municipal run -profit housing. We believe that the City of Toronto tion -Profit Housing Corporation ( Cityhome ) should never have been established. "There most certainly are many people who because of age, illness, disability or other reasons are unable to obtain the housing they require without public assistance.

"It seemed strange to us that anyone should expect Cana- dians at large to keep municipal councillors popular by con- tributing these very large subsidies to lower Citybome's mortgage costs. while the bureaucracy in charge continued to make a significant proportion of the units available to people perfectly able to provide their own housing. Why did it take so many years for the government to see that this policy was wrong' Occupancy of that sort should have been made a taxable benefit long ago. "Those who favour this housing policy say ghettos are to be avoided. A better way to do that would be to pay shelter allowances directly to people needing assistance to obtain the housing they need. ­­%%1"hheavily subsidized housing is made available to just about anybody, taxpayers naturally feel that they are being treated cynically. If the state houses people perfectly capable of housing themselves without subsidies, the government is really weakening the moral fibre of the na- tion. We don't like policies that increase dependence on any government. "We like the approach of the United Kingdom government which has encouraged municipal authorities to sell hun- dreds of thousands of units of "council housing" to tenants in recent years. "A great weakness of the Citybome program is the lack of any opportunity for that. We recommended it to Mayor Crombie in the early days of Cityhome. Our President in 1980 told a committee of the Ontario Government which was hearing comments on housing policy that, if the City of Moderation Message The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has embarked on a public awareness campaign to discourage people from drinking and driving. As a pilot project, four L.C.B.O. stores across Metro Toronto are being supplied with liquor bags bearing the message IF YOU DRINK DON'T DRIVE. "Consumer reaction to the bags at the stores has been so positive. we are considering extending it across the pro - vine." said Dr. Robert Elgie, Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations. The project was initiated by the ministry in co-operation with the Attorney General's anti -drinking and driving cam- paign. "We believe that the liquor bag warning can ac- complish two things. It will add support to the government's campaign on drinking and driving by creating yet another avenue for getting the message out. It also gets the attention of the consumer at the source," said Dr. Elgie.

What is the most impor- tant lesson to learn? Dear Reader, Congratulations. You have just graduated from lesson number 1. Being aware that etiquette is not only important but meaningful can lead you to the knowledge you seek about the subject. Although what is done in the privacy of your home is your own concern, it is a good place to begin. Etiquette unfolds itself to a world of good behaviour and the manners sur- rounding it becoming a way of life and gives one a sense of security and confidence in dealing with others. Librarians can be very helpful to assist you in finding a book on the subject. There are some good books available at the book stores as well. Carrier Routes Open!

Kirby The annual Christmas show for the Legion Village Home was held on Sun. Dec. 18, and was put on by the various branches of the Royal Canadian Legion. Zone Commander Val Haley of Branch 614 welcomed the audience and passed the show over to the Mistress of Ceremonies, .Dee Mercer of Branch 345. The Pipe Band under the direction of Pipe Major John Ballie, and Ilium Ma- jor Joseph Evans was a tremendous success. They opened the show and were asked to return towards the end of the show. These men and ladies just formed the band in the spring of this year and have done a lot of good work for Branch 258, and the seniors. Gloria Foote of Branch 258, started the party -like atmosphere with a sing -a- long, with many of the seniors joining in. Gloria really picks the tunes they like. Next came the ladies of Branch 258 who gave us their rendition of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. These Ladies were called the Roval Canadian Legion Mounted Police and they are great! Their uniforms and horses cannot be beat, in fact they have been bonoured by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who gave each of them a badge, horse and mountie, whKh they wear with great pride - There was also Kit Wood 7 Lanes For Kennedy by Gay Abbate to pay for its upkeep.

Betty Raynes of Branch 73, another beautiful singer, was just great. Bet- ty sang some of the old time songs that are so welcome at this time, and she comes to participate whenever we ask. The ladies of Branch 614, dressed as clowns, were fabulous, so funny in their clown dress -ups. They also brought along goodies for the folk, so they mingled with the seniors and gave each and everyone a bag of goodies. They were a riot, and so kind. The Fat Girls Chorus Line of Branch 345 ladies was something to behold, never has so much fat roll- ed around the Legion Village Home as did these ladies on this Sunday. They tried to kick their little fat legs, only to fall to the floor. Just great! The lady that followed these fatties, was a young lady Jessie Robertson - what a voice - she needed no mike, no music, her voice was music enough. When she sang ..Amazing Grace- there wasn't a sound to be heard. This young lady is not a member of the Legion, but donates her time to us, not only for this show, but she came along with ail the others to entertain at Sunnybrook Hospital. This lady will go far with such a Lovely voice. Bill Hinds of Branch 73 who never seems to tire of singing, along with Ron Baker at the piano enter- tained these people with a lot of songs. Many people call Bill the Zone D-5 "Roger Whittaker". He completed his songs with the fine old number "Ole Man River". It was wonderful. Two ladies from Branch 345, K. Reeve and Betty Goodman mimed Maurice Chevalier and Hermine Gingold with "I Remember It Well". Very well done ladies. Gloria Foote came back on stage to sing a few more songs, which the audience loved, and Gloria finished up with "I'll Be Home for Christmas". The Pipers returned to play. and Dee Mercer in- troduced each and every are of the band. They even offered to play more, but we had to draw the show to a close as the dining room was to be prepared for din- ner. for the residents. But, the show could not close until Santa and his reindeers and helpers ar- rived. The Santa was Ed. Kosma who arrived in a wheelchair, drawn by his helpers. They mingled with the folk and passed out more godies, candy canes, etc. The clowns were there to join in with Santa. The afternoon closed with everyone singing "We Wish You A :Merry Christmas".

Aaroe wants it widened to only five lanes. The fight to get what he wants is going to be an uphill one all the way. Even if he can persuade Scarborough Council to back him, he still has to persuade Metro staff who highly influence the deci- sions of Metro Council. Since Metro Council can do whatever it wants with one of its own roads. the chance of Aaroe being able to get enough Metro Council members to go against their own staff recommen- dation is slim. What makes the fight even more difficult for Aaroe is that Scarborough's own planners have come out in Wed. Jan. 4, 1984 THE NE~OST Pa" 3 4orth Of 401 support of Metro staff's position. Originally, Scar- borough planners had con- cluded that it would be enough to widen Kennedy to five lanes. Metro's decision to widen Kennedy to seven lanes is based on development potential in the area bound- ed by Finch, Ellesmere, Birchmount and Midland. Metro is forecasting that within five years 950 residential units, 3,300 of- fice employees and 70,000 more sq. ft. of commercial space could come on stream in this area. Within to years, develop- ment could add another 60 residential units and 1,060 industrial jobs. All this potential development re- quires three lanes on Ken- nedy southbound, three lanes northbound and a continuous left turn lane. Metro has concluded. But Aaroe does not see things in quite the same way. He believes that the only addition Kennedy Rd. needs is an extra lane for turns. Before anything is done to Kennedy, Metro should complete its grid system by the addition of the controversial Brimley Rd. interchange and by the widening of Sheppard Ave. Aaroe says. One of Aaroe's main con- cerns is the effect of any further widening on the ex- isting homes on the west side of Kennedy Rd. Metro has already ex- propriated some of the land but the actual widening would leave these residents with a seven lane roadway on their front steps. These people not only have had their property devalued but face ever- increasing traffic noise and pollution. Aaroe says.

Jan. 4,19" Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Amadeus is the current at- traction at the Royal Alex. The title refers to the mid- dle name of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart con- sidered by many to be the greatest musical genius of all time. Whether he is or isn't is not for this scribbler to of- fer opinion. What is manifest is the genius of the man. Deficiencies of character, personality and intellect there might well have been but the essential genius is beyond dispute. Mozart is the fulcrum of the play and yet he is not the central character. The Sun he is but the star he is not. ( Yes, astronomers, we the of the j nten but allow us some literary licence.) The starring role is that of Antonio Salieri. Few popular books of musical references even mention Salieri and yet he was Mozart's contem- porary and a far more suc- cessful man. Material reward's and honours were heaped upon him in abun- dance. Yet, he was not a happy man. Why? Well, he was just musically sound enough to recognize that his music was nothing compared to that of Mozart. Further, Salieri was initially, a good man, a man who had dedicated his life to the glory of God through music in repayment of his vow made to do so if the Creator would so allow him. Mozart, on the other hand was an immature libertine and vulgar conversa- tionalist. Yet, music flowed from him effortlessly. In- deed, his musical composi- tions, notwithstanding the speed of their writing, never required second drafts. Salieri's mind twisted and he determined to thwart Mozart. not just because of his effortless genius but because God had apparent - It's Your Move You can start these Centennial College full-time day programs now. .

The play then is the retell- ing in flashback by Salieri of how he set his evil plans into motion and of what were the final results of his machinations. It is a work made for the Theatre. Oh, one supposes that a motion picture could be made of it but we cannot see how it could be effec- tive. It's too wordy and relatively static for the screen. A legitimate theatre is required for full appreciation of the rolling elegancies of playwrite Peter Shaffer, the sometime intimacies of Mozart music, the dramatic and fast changes of scene and of lighting mood. Too, the period costumes must be seen up close - not close up - to be enjoyed to the fullest. The play is the thing though and one supposes it would stand up well in a church basement or even as a reading. But, oh haw pleasurable are the produc- tion values of this company and haw fine are the perfor- mances of the principals. As Salieri, Philip Pleasants is something ( we've chosen the word carefully) to be seen and beard at all costs. He moves back and forth with seeming effortless ease between the aged hulk of well toned despair and the middle years man of ambi- tion and intrigue. His voice is classically trained and he cou lcl make Mr. Shaffer's words spring alive merely reading them over the 'phone but au- diences are also vouchsaf- ed the pleasure of his superb body movement and almost inspired reac- tions_ One recognizes that much of it is stage craft but so well done that it is to be ad- mired as well as enjoyed Like most Torontonhans we prefer farm that finds the passion rather than passion that seeks the form. Anyway, the role of Salieri is so demanding that it can- not be played eight times a week. At matinees the role is played by Jonathan Farwell who usually plays the role of von Strack. One can visualize him as Salieri. He has a fine presence and, like Mr. Pleasants, a beautiful speaking voice. Mozart is played by Ed Hodson and, we believe, played well. If we seem to be fudging it's because Mr. Hodson is apparently true to the role .. as written by Mr. Shaffer and we suspect that the latter has taken far more licence with the character of Mozart than proper study should justify. Mozart was weak, maybe even epicine but he was not vulgar and obscene. Regardless Mr. Hodson is true to the written character and to his direc- tion and succeeds in presenting a slip of a lad for whom one is hard press- ed to feel anything more than the common pity of humanity. Though we should like to mention more of the cast individually time and space permit only the following. Robert Loyd is most effective as the weak but well bred Joseph 1I, Emperor of Austria. His "So there it is then.. could well become the next fad phrase a la "Would you believe?" so well it is delivered. We urge you also to observe the performance of Charles Rule as Orsini - Rosenberg, a porcine cultural bigot. Hun, you can hate! You could hate Amadeus too if you seek only froth which is the way many ap- proach the works of Mozart. But, if you seek a walk of substance. in the manner of all lovers of Mozart, you will loran it. We cannot think of a more auspicious way in which to begin a new year of theatre than to see and enjoy Amadeus. Here's a little Starting Problems? TAKE CARE! Power Battery Sales Ltd.

IN PRINT: At the beginning of a new year most people resolve they will start reading "Really good books". By that they mean books that are instructive as well as pleasurable. Among the duties of our profession is the singular privilege of reading many such books and we have one now that we wish to recommend. It's Ideas Of The Great Psychologists by Samuel Smith (Fitzhenry & Whiteside). The jacket notes proclaim that it is designed for students and general readers. We could not agree more. It wasn't until the late nineteenth century that psychology emerged as a science (an inexact one in our view) in its own right. Some of the great psychologists discussed in this work were known in their time as physiologists or even, phikeopets. Over the years they were likely to contribute to more than one area of study - for ex- ample, perception, emo- tions; and learning. This volume brings together these influential thinkers, ancient and modern, under subject headings that are found in today's introductory psychology textbooks. Fur- ther, the subjects are chronologized so that the reader perceives the development of Psychology as a science from the broad viewpoint of retrospective consideration. We will not pretend that this is easy reading but we insist that it is pleasurable and we need not point out its value both in its initial reading and as a reference. My goodness, an page 26 for example, a single paragraph lists and ex- plains all six schools of modern psychology. We blush to admit it but only now do we have a fuller understanding of the Gestaltists. The book is recommended for your Wgruciion and pleasure without reserva- tion. ON RECORD: We have some reserva- tions about recommending Stay With Me/Glen Yar- borough (A. & M.) . Generally, popular singers who have distinctive, even unusual voices and Glenn Yarborough's is certainly distinctive, even unusual - have mixed followings. Either they are liked and appreciated or they are not. Yarborough however, seems able to confound one's appreciation. We can- not pretend that we care for his high tremolo and yet we find ourself listening to it with something akin to pleasure. The pleasure, for us at any rate, is short lived though. We find a little of him goes a long way. An L.P. at a time is about our limit. This latest one is pleasant. In fact it might just be the best he's done for some time. We enjoyed two selections in particular. I've Only Kissed Her Good- night and I Could Have Been A Sailor could make it, we believe, as singles. There's a certain irony in the latter since Yar- borough is indeed a sailor. Perhaps that's why he's able to put so much emo- tion into the song. A good album on the whole and certainly one to be en- joyed by his established fans. ON THE TUBE Another resolve made by many in a new year is to quit smoking. This Friday, Global T.V. starts a three part series titled Time To Quit under the auspices of the Canadian Cancer socie- ty and the Federal Depart- ment of Health and Welfare. It's hosted by William Shatner and our advance reports tell us that it's a series well worth one's at- tention- we snow many people who have given up smoking .. several times. FAST EXIT: We read that for many turtles the courting period is marked by a ceremony in which the two stand fac- ing each other, slowly nod- ding their beads up and down and from side to side. Seems to us that such ac- tions can be observed anytime in a singles bar.

The teams were tied at 0-0 at the end of the first and Wexford was leading 3-2 at the end of two. Scarboro Arena was the scene of another Wexford loss as they succumbed to the Pickering Panthers by the score of 6-3 after being behind 2-1 and 3-2 at the end of the first two periods. Dave Barton was between the pipes again but it wasn t a case of having no defense. It was Pickering that had all the defence.

Jan. 4, 1984 Here & ;e � There In Pickering by Diane Matheson I MASTERS SWIM CLUB The Masters Swim club is a blend of recreational and com- petitive swimming for adults based on regular workouts. Training is similar to competitive programs. It is not a learn -to -swim program, nor is it restricted to those who have previous experience in competitive swimming. You measure your progress by the distances you swim, the time you take to complete a series, the shorter rest periods you need during the workouts and the general feeling of well be- ing after a workout. Most swimmers soon realize that swim meets give the swimmers an opportunity to evaluate their progress and to socialize with people of similar interests, however you do not have to take part in swim meets. The Swim Club meets every Tuesday and Thursday even- ing between 10 and 11 p.m. at the Complex pool. Practices will be posted in the pool area. so you may schedule your f own training times. The Masters Club will be affiliated with the Pickering Blue Dolphins Swim Club. Members of the Masters Swim Club will also be members of the Canadian Amateur Swimming Association ( Ontario Section). Fee is r . i Speaking To You .r Scott Fennel M.P. Ontario Riding Last week. John Roberts. the :Minister for Employment and Immigration_ announced that the Government would be allocating new funds to the Canada Works program. Mr. Roberts proclaimed to all that these additional funds will provide direct employment for the many unemployed. As I have mentioned to the past, 1 am not a supporter of these make-work projects or Government hand-outs. I realize that some of the projects do provide valued ex- penence for those involved• and some also provide very necessary services. But what bothers me the most is that the projects do not provide permanent employment. Once the required number of work w eeks have been completed, the employees find the-*nselves back in the unemployment lines. Each constituency has already received a minimum of $100.000which was to be divided up between the many ap- plications submitted for the program. Ridings which have a Labour surplus over 8% were now entitled to receive addi- tional funding, to an attempt to increase employment op- porturuties. I was advised last week by the Munster. that Ontario Riding will not be receiving an increase in our allot - tment as our labour surplus is only 6%. We should not be disappointed that we do not qualify for extra funds. particularly when you consider that some areas in Canada have an unemployment rate as high as 16%: w•e should consider ourselves very lucky that ours is only 6%. 1 feel that you should also be congratulating yourselves. as it is through your ingenuity and hard work that keeps the unemployment levels as low as they are. I am very proud to represent the residents of Ontario Riding, who continually demonstrate their ability to overcome pro- blerrms and work together toward a bigger and better future.

Moore Armchair travelling can be fun when your imagina- tion is coupled with a glass of good wine. Let me take you on such a journey from the north of Italy to the south, and sample some of the lovely wines from the sunny land of Enotria, so named by the ancient Greeks who discovered Ita- ly to be the land of the vines. Our first stop is in the region of Friuli, a next door neighbour to Austria. Here we sip a fresh Pinot Grigio made from the grape of the same name. The wine is light and frui- ty with a lovely aftertaste and goes well with some delicious Prosciutto ham and Risotto, specialties of this region. Continuing our journey we next iadlulge ourselves in the romantic region of Veneto where the fair Juliet was wooed by the handsome Romeo perhaps while sipping a delicious Soave. a crisp dry white wine that has been ap- prectated wherever wine is drunk. The wine is from the town of Soave near Verona and the wine got its name from the 'Sua,6i' people who occupied the region in A.D. 568. Still going south, we sam- ple our next wine in the regio: of Umbria in the town of Torgiaruo, which is also the name of our wine. The white Togiano ( there is also an excellent red) is made principally from the Trebbiano grape, is straw yellow in colour has a vinous bouquet and is both fruity and pleasantlysharp from the natural and well balanced acidity. Here we dine on PoUo in Porchetta, chicken with pork, with a side dish of Polenta made from corn meal. The wine goes well with the food and we feel satisfied and con- tent. The Eternal City, Rome, is our next stop. We drink the lovely, soft, velvety white Frascati, the favourite wine of so many Popes. The winewas once described by Goethe as a heavenly wine. We match the wine with some delicious Saltimbocca alla Romana, veal with pro- sciutto, flavoured with sage. The region of Campania is our next stop on our journey of the mind. This is where Romans of old had their summer retreats away from the heat and dust of Rome. Their favourite wine in those days was the rich Faler- num, and one can well im- agine them as they sat under the shade of trellised vines overlooking the Bay of Naples. No doubt they feasted on the original piz- za which was named from the Greek 'Pitta', a name referred to a flattened cake. We eat the now world famous pizza, true Italian style and enjoy a delicious Taurasi. This rich, full- bodied red wine is now sought after by wine lovers the world over. It is a beautiful wine with a lovely bouquet and matching flavour, and is long living. Stopping in Calabria, the `toe' of Italy, we can look $20 initiation, plus $5 monthly.
