At Ajax High School, for example, the computer .science department con- tinues to offer the Com- puter Magnet Program, open to any grade eight graduate of a Durham Board school who has shown a particular ap- titude for math. Students receive four credits in computer pro- gramming in the course of their high school studies. The program begins in $fade nine. Paul Lafrance. assistant head of the Ajax HS math department, said he believes the students from the program will be among the minority who unders- tand computer programm- ing- "Statistics suggest that only 10 to 15 percent of the population will really understand how to pro- gram. We hope our students will graduate hvm the coarse in that 10 or 15 percent," Mr. LaF rance said- "We aid"We stress those features rVloyers are looking for in programmers. We try to introduce more com- plicated topics earlier in their high school career. In grades nine and 10 we try to cover the grade 11 pro- gram, with In grade 11 we start then on major projects, which they do as individuals and as groups..' The program began three years ago and the first class has now reached grade 11. Next year the program will extend to grade 12. "Grade 12 will be very project oriented. We're hoping to get sugges- tions from both the school at large and the communi- ty for some major types of computer applications. We try to parallel thein, math and science program by finding computer ap- plications in those areas... "We also look at all kinds of other applications - educational for example. We ask the students to go out and ask the teachers what kind of program they might find useful in their classroom, and it's the stu- dent's responsibility to ac- tually generate the pro- gram... Last summer students from the Computer Magnet Program worked on a government sponsored pro- gram to upgrade software for use on microcomputers. Mr. Lafrance said many of the students in the pro- gram are destined for the professions - medicine, engineering, law - as well as for computer program- ming. He said that by lear- ning programming, they learn vital thinking skills that can be applied in many areas. 2ft per copy Published by Watson Publishing Company Ltd.

Mar. 13, 1965 Opinion a page for expression for you and us It's Women's Day Federal Employment Minister Flora MacDonald has kick- ed off Women's Day this year by unveiling new rules to "guarantee equal job opportunities for women and minorities". Translated into practical words, what this means is that men ( who are only 48% of the population and therefore a minority) cannot be hired for any jobs to do with the federal government or its contractors, - unless, of course, the lucky man happens to have a skin tone which in- dicates that he is a minority! These nice new rules are supposedly in the name of equali- ty - but in the practical sense it means inequality to men who happened to be white -skinned. The scheme called "Employment Equity" is supposed to "tear down the traditional barriers preventing women, native people, racial minorities and the disabled from either entering the work force, or once they are in, locking them into low-paying, dead-end jobs." Well, we have news for these unknowledgeable legislators, they have been con- ned by a handful of women. who are very vocal and want men out of the way to the top. In our opinion this is the most unequal legislation in our re- cent history because it deliberately makes "white men" unable to aspire to a promotion due to ability. He would only be able to get an advance in his job if his company has thoroughly canvassed every woman and racial minority person available. Not only is this discrimination of the highest degree but it will impede the operations of a com- pany to a ridiculous point. Before this whole situation gets too far and creates chaos in the work place, we tinge the government to take a more realistic look at this whole issue. There is no equality ab- solute in life - like it or not - some humans have more skill in some jobs than others, some dirty jobs are wanted only by some people, some jobs are traditionally female -oriented and some are male -oriented. Passing a law faring unrealistic quotas on human beings is not the way to establish equality. And what about the men who have lost jobs in the last few years because women have been willing to accept Mom a year less' Was it a man's fault that one of these worsen is lesser in salary' For our country to survive economically in this tough com- petitive world we must use our brains and expertise as effi- ciently as possible. There is no one who would argue against equality for all. But making laws to adjust the balance ar- bitrarily is not the way. After all for every person stopped from a job by his maleness is another person discriminated against. It works both ways !Hiss MacDonald - remember most human beings in our country are women not men! Unnecessary The arrival of Metro Toronto police this week to confiscate 2625 bottles of beer from 0-Toole's Roadhouse in Scar- borough has to be a completely unnecessary act. What harm was done in this time of beer shortage for the tavern owner to go out and buy some bottled beer instead of getting draught beer? In this conflict between the major breweries and its workers, one would expect the provincial government to br- ing some reasonableness to the situation. But no, the On- tario government is acting as if it isn't in change of this situation - and we all know how thoroughly the provincial government dictates how, why, where and when to booze, and the large taxes it collects from it. While the brewery workers and their employers figure out an answer to their conflict, surely it is reasonable to have the government allow other supplies to be used in taverns, restaurants etc. After all should thousands of other workers and independent owners have to suffer financially because of a dispute at the breweries? The public is fed up with taking it on the chin every time some workers have a problem with their bosses. Sometimes it is difficult to get around a strike, but in this case the politicians are in complete control and could do what they want. Why don't they act on behalf of the Ontario public - in other words the citizens of this province whom they repre- sent. Bob's Notes Export sales Ontario Hydro customers earned over $13 million last month from the sale of 806.4 million kilowatt-hours of elec- tricity to the United States. November export earnings were 25 percent higher than in the same month last year, even though 11 million fewer kilowatt-hours of electricity were sold this year.

( Photo - Bob Watson) VIEWPOINTS 1985 by Ralph Bradley If you read nothing else in this little newspaper be sure not to miss the editorial every week on Page 2 written by the editor, Bob Watson. Usually they are trenchant, percep- tive, and generally hit the nail on the head where it should be hit. He has spoken in the last few weeks about the phenomenal appetite of our largest Canadian pressure groups, the unions, for another round of wage hikes and ad- ditions to their already rich benefits. They are putting on the pressure, and it always amazes me when Joe Q. Public reacts to their latest heist, they sound like spoiled children who, if they rant and rave should be given everything they ask for. When we speak of unions we should include all those groups - teachers, doctors, dentists, policemen, firemen, civil servants, who have the little guy by the throat. This would be fine, I suppose, if a lot of these people would confine themselves to one job. But no, with their big salaries usually there are two incomes coming in, one of which often is not necessary. Is it any wonder young men are walking the street unemployed? Go in any bank, and see if you can find one male other than the manager. Go in our local library system in Pickering, it is all female. Are there no males, young or otherwise who wouldn't like to start learning to be librarians? Downstairs, in the real estate office we have a school teacher undercutting the regular sales people who don't get his big salary. How about firefighters, policemen, postal carriers with another job, taking employment from some small businessman or voting person, simply because they have so much time on their hands off their regular job? What about characters like Sylvia Ostry, Ottawa man- darin, and her husband Bernard Ostry. Queen's Park man- darin, taking in abut $170,000 of public money into one household. Is all this professional greed related to the increase in the country's Gross National Product? The GNP last year in- creased 1%, but are they happy with that? We know the answer to that one. Politicians, of course, seem no excep- tion to the spirit of greed. Imagine a local councillor getting $10,000 a year for about four hours work a week. Imagine a regional councillor getting $23,000 for about six hours worst a weep, if that. Isn't that outrageous? Imagine a mayor get- ting $32,000 for what amonts to a part-time job? No, Bob, I know you're getting a lot of flak about your editorials from the crybaby unions and association pressure groups, but 1 say, keep up the good work and keep then coming.

Around Scarborough by Gay Abbate by Gay Abbate Sounds tike Mayor Rookie Alderman Brian Ashton doesn't look anything like Mayor Gus Harris but after being his research assistant for six years, he certainly is beginning to sound like him. At last week's Building. Fire and Legislation Com- mittee meeting. Ashton gave a speech about building permits and the boom development that is taking place in the city cen- tre area that wound have done Harris proud had he been there to hear it. And we thought Harris had a monopoly on that develop- ment speech after having given it so many tithes! Ashton explained to com- mittee: "Since the mayor isn't around to give his usual pro -development speech, 111 give it for him." Ashton gets an "A plus" for having Harris' speech down pat. Delightful Reading Whoever said budgets were dull reading certainly hasn't read the city's recreation and parks department budget. The descriptions given as ra- tionale for offering some of the programs are delightful. We offer our readers just one of the interesting passages. This one gives the rationale for offering a ballroom dancing program for couples. "The social values of a night out with the partner of your choice in a relaxed. enjoyable atmosphere is very important.

Poker Is Setter The secret is finally out - Alderman Joe DeKort would rather play poker with the boys than attend a budget meeting, DeKort made his preference known at last Friday's budget meeting. In response to a comment from Controller Frank Faubert that the meeting could drag on until after 8 P.m. Dekort was heard to respond: "No way. I'll be Playing poker at 8 o'clock. - Luckily for DeKort, the meeting ended early and we presume he got to his poker game. Dedication Is Tkne Consutn- Ing Dedication has its price sometimes. Alderman Maureen Prinsloo, one of the hardest working members of Scarborough Council, braved the elements during our recent March 4 blizzard so she could attend a meeting of Metro's transportation committee of which she is chairman. Because of the nasty weather, Prinsloo decided to leave the driving to the TTC. She left her home in the Hunt ingwoodiPhar- macy area at 8 a.m. think- ing she had allowed herself plenty of time. She got to the Yonge,Sheppard sta- tion at 3 p.m. ! Then she had to wait two hours for a bus to go back home since she never did get downtown. She eventually got home - at 10 P.M. The only good thing about her day was that she brought a nice thick book along with her and manag- ed to read 200 pages of it! Snake -Free Zone Alderman Florence Cruickshank's office at the civic centre is a smoke-free zone. Cnnckshank says no one has smoked in her office since she put a sign on her desk a couple of weeks ago. The sign warns all visitors: "If you must smoke, please do not exhale.". Correction Last week we stated that Ward 4 Alderman Kurt Christensen had claimed responsibility for Scar- borough transportation policy in his brochure, which is not the case. And we jabbed him about his reference to his college as "Western University", which most graduates refer to as "Western". It really it "University of Western Ontario", if all our readers will please note In a third paragraph we also pointed out that Kurt claimed to have supported the founding of the Emily Stowe Shelter for Women. Mr. Christensen's lawyer has written us to say that "Mr. Christensen does not claim to have supported the founding of the Emily Stowe Shelter for Women." But he continues: "The campaign material is, however, a bit ambiguous in this area. He supported the shelter and supported the founding of the Women's Centre. This is at the most, an error in syn- tax and not, in any way, an attempt to claim credit for the founding of the Stowe Shelter." We hope that this "clarifies" these notes in our column. Jr Receives Scholarship '} For Achieving Point Average John Alma of Scarborough, a first year student in the }' Mining Technology program at the Haileybury School of Mines campus of Northern College, was recently awarded a James E. Grant Memorial Scholarship of $200 for having obtained a grade point average of 3.41 in recent mid-term examinations. Centennial Rouge United Church by Millie Hull Sorry we missed you last week folks but the snow .took over. Sunday morning we had the story of The Outcast, Zaccheus. This week it was Jonah and mention was made that the whale immediately comes to mind when this name is mentioned. Actually the whale was just a sidelight to the real story and the lesson we learn that when God calls us to take on a mission we had better follow through and do our duty. Following the formal ser- vice William Dempsey, Chairman of the Board, took over and presenta- tions were made to Michael Stol, our guest minister of the past four weeks by the Session, Stewards. U.C.W. and the Trustees. These were token books and the latter one a road map of Canada so Michael can fnad his way out to Olds and Carstairs. Alberta, which will be his fust charge after ordination in the Presbyterian Church, and more importantly to fird his way back to m again at sone future date. We wish Michael well as he moves on toward the achievement of his fust goal in preaching the gospel to these fine western people. A week ago we had a wonderful reception in the church hall for our senior ,member, Elbert Closson, who has reached his 96th birthday. He was sup- ported by his wife Cathy, their daughter Margaret and her husband Neil Broadfoot. The Closson's come from a hardy stock of pioneers, among them Jordan and Melinda Post whose first names are well known as streets in the heart of Toronto. Controller Ken Morrish, a nephew of Elbert, with his wife Shirley, brought greetings from the City of Scarborough with a suitable presentation. Toronto Ward 9 Alderman Tom Jakobek, and fiance of Debbie, Ken's daughter, spoke on behalf of the city of Toronto. About loo guests brought their personal greetings and enjoyed refreshments and visits with old friends. To Elbert we say it is wonderful to reach such a milestone and still be able to be out and around and to read and enjoy what is go- ing on around him. Con- gratulation, Elbert, and may you enjoy many more. We were sorry Laddie and Shirley Crawford ( Ken's sister and husband) could not be present as Laddie is still in hospital feeling a lit- tle better but with the trou- ble still undiagnosed. We wish you a speedy recovery, Laddie, so get well soon. Next week Mr. Butler will be back in the pulpit after his vacation in Florida. We hope Mrs. Butler has benefitted from the southern clime and look forward to seeing them both again. The seniors are reminded of the luncheon next Mon- day, the 18th at 12:30 in the hall. This one will have the usual Irish flavour and we do hope the weather will be good and we can see you all out and in good health once again. Easter is our next celebra- tion and preparations are being made for that wonderful day in our church year. Communion will be celebrated on Palm Sunday, March 31st and new members, including our confu reads will be received into full number - ship. This week Wed. to Sat.

Neither is it well mounted. Yet, it's our belief that it's destined to be yet another hit for TFT. Certainly, it deserves to be. A first time legitimate theatre effort by writer Michael Mercer it is the story of the relationship between writers Conrad Aitken and Malcolm Lowry. Neither one was an attractive person. The former aspired to high literature and never really made it. If he is to be remembered at all it will be as a mentor to the latter who, in the final analysis was nothing more than an immature drunk with some facility for a reasonably well turned phrase. Such however, is the power of Mr. Mercer's script, the direction of Leon Pownall and the perfor- mances of the actors that one enjoys an evening of high theatre and the realization of pure talent on display- As ployAs Aitken, Matthew Walker is the sort of man about whom it is hard to make up one's mind. Is he a man of little talent trying desperately to squeeze the essence of others or is he a man merely ( sic) tortured by the trauma of a childhood experience and unable to create that of which he might or might not be capable? Or. is he nothing more than a drunken satyr? Reader will have noted that we have written "as Aitken, Matthew Walker is". We stand by it. His per- formance is so powerful, so consistent that he is not portraying Aitken so much as he is living him. Quite remarkable. And, in passing, one should men- tion the constancy of his soft southern accent. All actors can do dialects but many falter at points of their performances. Mr. Walker docs not, even in moments of high tension and difficult stage bits. Geraint Wyn Davies is Lowry and he, too, elicits confused reactions on the part of the audience. Is he to be pitied or despised for his drunkeness and his silly attempts to write? Is there a spark of genius awaiting the burst of ar- tistic flame or is there nothing more than a well educated scribbler borrow- ing, consciously or other- wise, from the writings of the long winded Melville and the execrable James Joyce or even the ludicrous Kafka? It is not for this reviewer to proclaim Lowry but it is our duty, we believe, to declare the excellence of Mr. Wyn Davies in the role. From a bright, attractive, albeit drunken, Billy Bunter he transforms himself into an almost pitiful remnant of what the human spirit can and should be. One cannot mention the entire cast by name but we should like to single out two others who are mightly Vpleasing. We refer to Ron artmann and David Schurmann. Mr. Hartmann portrays Lowry's father, a decent man who means well by his son but who is simply in- capable of recognizing that this boozy son just might be a genius. His conversation with the irrascible Aitken is enough to bring tears to the eyes of any man who is a father. Mr. Schurmann has one of those roles that actors love, that of a cynically humourous man of the world capable of throwing away delightful aphorisms with an insouciance that borders on the outrageous. He gives it full measure and obviously is a favourite with the audience. We mentioned earlier that the play is not notably well mounted. We suggest, however. that these are minor considerations that can easily be overcome. We refer to such things as awkward scene changes and the fact that Aitken does not apparently, change his clothing in the forty year span encom- passed by the play. A picayune observation? Perhaps, but we choose to think of it as removing a gravy spot from an other- wise spotless table cloth in order better to enjoy the feast before one. And, we say that Goodnight Disgrace is a feast to which all lovers of theatre should hie themselves. Well done TFT .. again. IN THE CLUBS: Being a reviewer is a fine job ( although we wouldn't ever dream of admitting it to the publisher) but it can have its disadvantages. One of them is the availability of excellent seating. We finally made it along the other evening to Second City for its latest show It Came From Chicago, A Tribute To 25 years of Se- cond City. So close were we to the stage that in courtesy to the performers we could not make notes until after the show and we fear that we might fail to make our readers aware of just what a funny show this is and why. Still, we can but try. As evident by the title, part Of the slaw consists of reprises of sketches per- formed over the last quarter century. They were funny originally because of their timeliness; they are hilarious now in retrospect. We think particularly of one sketch performed originally by Alan Arkin and Barbara Harris in which a shy, sexually repressed young lady en- counters a guitar playing beatnik in an art gallery. The inanities of the sixties have now become hunwurous memories for the eighties. There are so marry sket- ches that memory fails in recalling all of them but one was much taken by one involving two prison in- mates. One is in "for some violations" which subse- quently turn out to have been parking tickets; the other is a convicted murderer. Or how about the quarrel between a mezzo and a soprano .. in music. There's a group therapy sketch where the group consists of two people and a charlatan of a psychologist who clearly doesn't know Dudley S. Young, a member of the Etobicoke H',dru (kuun..'num, has been elected presi- dent of the Ontario Municipal Electric Association's central district for the 1985 term. The O.M.E.A. consists of publicly -elected or appointed commissioners from 320 municipal utilities who represent the interests of more than two million residential, commercial and industrial power consumers across the province. The central district includes 22 utilities in the Metro Toronto and surrounding area, from Oakville north through Milton, Halton Hills and Newmarket to Ajax in the east. The district's newly -elected executive for 1985 are (seated from left) William C. Lazenby of Richmond Hill Hydro, 1st vice-president; Charles R. Thomson of Milton Hydro, past presi- dent; Dudley S. Young of Etobicoke Hydro, president; Ab V. Tennant of Halton Hills Hydro, 2nd vie, --president. Standing from left are D.A. Murray Wilson of Pickering Hydro, director; Frank E. Johnson of East York Hydro, director; Lorne J. Reesor of Vaughan Hydro, director; Robert Coyle of Toronto Hydro, director; Steve Orr of North York Hydro, secretary -treasurer; and M. John Joannou of Toronto Hydro, president of the Association of Municipal Electrical Utilities' central district. Not pictured is director Stuart T. Hilliard of York Hydro. Wed.

Bob Dameron and Jeffrey Black recently purchased the restaurant and have set a course to revitalize, re- juvenate and otherwise im- prove the place where good friends meet,'. As many will remember it wasn't always an O"foole's. Over the years the location has been a truck stop, and a steak house. In the summer of 1963, O'Toole's chose the location and opened up by early fall. Since then "O'Toole's Sheppard" has become a welcome spot for businessmen at lunch, din- ner and the 20 - 30 year old crowd at night. The restaurant that thinks it's a bar (and the bar that thinks it's a restaurant) has enjoyed a brisk trade since the beginning. It of- fers a solid oak 50ft bar, and cosy fireplace, a dance floor and seating for up to 100.

You can bring your own darts or get them from the bar (weekdays 3 - 7 p.m. and weekends 12 - 8 P.M.).

The Ecstasy Of Rita Joe by Frank Knight The Scarborough College Drama Workshop presented the Canadian play "The Ecstasy of Rita Joe" last week at the Scar- borough College rumpus. This play written 18 years ago has been neglected or fargotten in the current theatre scene. When fust produced it received critical acclaim and played across Canada. It is a powerful play which has much to say today about Rita Joe an Indian woman who becomes lost in the white mans world, victimized as a woman and victimized as an Indian, caught between two cultures and of people in conflict. I saw a powerful produc- tion and commendable per- formances last week. Tight controlled directing by Leigha Lee Browne made this play work in all its many facets. The play re- quires ensemble type play- ing and it is hard to pick out any one individual. The main role of Rita Joe was played by Joanne Latimer, a well thought out balanced performance. Scarborough is fortunate in having this type of theatre in its midst and it should receive more support from the community. Many of these young drama performers will be stars at Shaw and Stratford in five to ten years time as part of their theatre career. It was a refreshing change to see young and talented performers at work on a challenging pro- duction.

Many of you are acutely aware of the fad that the Cana- dian import quotas on Japanese cars will expire at the end of this month. The recent action taken by the U.S. to relieve any form of quotas on Japanese automobiles has caused many Canadians to become nervous that their government will follow suit. The fear is that a subsequent increase in Japanese imports would eat into sales of domestic cars and cost jobs. Personally. I sincerely believe that Canada is not ready to do away with the quota system. Until we build a more substantive secondary manufacturing sector to provide Canadian jobs, we are dependent upon what we have. To do away with quotas would not only allow Japanese imports to swamp the Canadian market wiping out tens of thousands of jobs, it would also mitigate any leverage we might have to encourage Japan to make investment commitments in Canada similar to those it has made in other countries such as the U.S. It is a well known fact that the economic growth of the past year was driven mainly by the Canadian automotive industry. In a sense, all Canadians depend on this industry, whether directly or indirectly employed by it, or not at all; it is good for all Canadians to have economic growth in this country. Perhaps the U.S. can afford to open up to Japanese im- ports because the Japanese have already made substantial investments there, and because the U.S. does have a great deal of other secondary manufacturing in existence. If we lose jobs in the auto industry, then we are dependent upon our raw materials to provide the standard of living to which we have become accustomed. Unfortunately, sales of raw materials alone will not be able to accomplish that. In fact, the trend in international trade is toward manufactured goods constituting a greater percentage of the total volume of trade. The time for decision making on this issue is near at hand. A decision to maintain quotas will not be easy par- ticulary in the face of the government's commitment to im- prove conditions for free trade and reduce protectionism. However, out of most of the industrialized nations of the world, Canada stands alone as being the only nation that the Japanese auto industry has not moved to make substantial investment in, and this situation must be remedied if we are to maintain a balance of investment in the North American continent and keep Canadian jobs. That is my opinion. Report from Queen's Park By George Ashe, MPP Durham West .......... ...................... The NDP candidate for Durham West, in typical NDP scare tactics style, raised a couple of old issues the other night in his talk to the Durham West NDP Annual Meeting. These issues relate to Ontario Hydro and as the Minister responsible for Ontario Hydro matters, I would like to take 'this opportunity to respond to his perceived concerns. Ontario Hydro is constructing a facility at the new Darl- ington generating station, that will remove small quantities of a substance called tritium from heavy water. Tritium is a slightly radioactive substance which builds up in CANDU reactors during operation. Ontario Hydro decided to remove tritium for two reasons: D to reduce even further the radiation levels in its nuclear stations to further protect employees, and ii) to reduce the already low emissions to the environment. Both are respon- sible objectives that I know all Durham residents would readily agree with. Ontario Hydro's initial plan was to store the extracted tritium. But tritium is in demand for such things as tritium powered lights (emergency exit signs and on aircraft lighting) which must operate independent of an electrical supply and for medical research. In the future, tritium will be one of the fuels used in advanced fusion research machines. It is this use that will consume most of the tritium from Ontario Hydro reactors. It is clear that tritium has a legitimate and peaceful market use and Ontario Hydro is acting responsibily in ex- ploring, with the federal regulatory authorities, commer- cial uses and markets for this material. Although tritium is used in some of the older designs of nuclear weapons. I don't agree with Mr. Stewart's inter- pretation that Ontario Hydro will be contributing to nuclear proliferation. To suggest that the United States relies or would rely on Ontario Hydro's supply of tritium to fuel or expand their nuclear weapon supply stretches the credibili- ty of his argument, and challenges the credibility of any responsible and reasonable thinking person. The storage of transformer oils at Hydro's Brock Road maintenance shop is another of Mr. Stewart's concerns. As routine procedure, mineral oils in electrical transformers from across the province are checked for the presence of PCBs and if traces are found, more than 50 parts per million, the oils are drained and stored for future treat- ment. Not too many years ago, the electrical industry, worldwide, used PCBs in uwwf /mer oils as this substance had superior electrical resistance and flame -resistant pro- perties. The contaminated mineral oils presently stored at Pickering contain only a minute amount of PCBs and these oils are properly stored in tanks, nes drums as indicated by Stewart. and pose no hazard to Dunham residents. Ontario Hydro is developing a process which will destroy the small amounts of PCBs in oils stored at the Brock Road site. The site, by the way, is at Hydro's central maintenance shop which is not part of the Pickering Generating Station. The process, again contrary to Stewart, is a closed chemical treatment process with the major by product, common table salt. No dioxins are pro. duced. Some small quantities of higher-level waste are on site which may be incinerated in years to came, but Hydro has no plain to do so themselves. Ontario Hydro has been a responsible corporate citizen in its treatment of these important environmental issues. I know that this sensitivity to the concerns of the people of the province will continue as we all work together to maintain the type of province that we wish our children to inherit. • 3.� •ILIr. • Linda Thom of Ottawa won Canada's first gold medal at the 1984 Olympics in the sport pistol competition.
