Coalition Hails
OeHaviland Sale
Dear Sits,
Canadian taxpayers, workers and nationalists can all be
thankful that the federal government has found a buyer for
the money losing Crown corporation, deHavilland.
Eighteen months ago, a Gallup Poll commissioned by the
National Citizens' Coalition found that 57% of decided Cana-
dians - a two to one margin - agreed that the federal govern-
ment should sell all Crown corporations that perform func-
tions that could be done by the free enterprise sector.
We taxpayers can be thankful that we won't be asked to
continue giving subsidies to deHavilland on top of the 5700
million we've already spent.
Canadian workers should welcome the sale to Boeing
because there's a good chance that with its technical and
management expertise. deHavilland will start to make
money while producing a useful, desirable product.
That is the only real job security there is. As long as Bob
White's union helps to ensure that the wages and produc-
tivity of the Canadian deHavilland workers are more at-
tractive than those of the US and that the waters develop a
good ran -strike record. Boeing could end up moving a lot of
business into Canada.
Lastly, nationalists should be glad about the sale of
deHavilland. Until 1974, the company was owned by a
foreign company. Then, for an eleven year period awash in
red ink, the Canadian government owned it. Now. it is being
sold to another foreign company.
Canada is being made stronger by the sale of this fiscal
sinkhole. The sale of deHavilland -and Canadian Arsenals -
is a step in the right direction. It will help to reduce our
huge deficit and the future interest costs on it which we will
all have to pay for through our taxes.
Let's hope that the government follows through with the
sale of Petro -Canada. Air Canada. CBC. CN, Via Rail, etc.
Canada will be a far stronger. far better place when they're
in the private sector.
Yours sincerely,
Collin Brown,
President,
National Citizens' Coalition

Jobs. Jobs. Jobs Are Up!
ms's job rate is climbing straight up. Reg
Stackhouse, M.P. - Scarborough West, told the House of
Commons.
According to the Canada Employment Centre. West Scar-
borough. the number of employes seeking help since the
1984 Canadian election, are 33% more than the number dur-
ing the previous fourteen months. This Scarborough im-
provement reflects a national trend, Stackhouse said -
Since September. 1964, 416,000 jobs have been added to
Canada's labour force. November saw a rise of 86.000 )obs
alone. There are also 148.000 fewer people out of work.
Youth unemployment has dropped two percent since
September. 1964. Stackhouse also pointed out Canada is
reducing unemployment faster than any other western in-
dustrial country except the Netherlands. "It shows this
government is fulfilling its commitment to renew the
economy. '
Music and Humour The New Fitness Twist
The message corning out of the three-day national youth
fitness symposium in Ottawa is that Canada's young people
should stop westing at fitness and start having fon! Music
and humour - not sweat and strain - are the best ways to
reach young people with a convincing. enticing fitness
message -
The national Fitness Fits symposium, sponsored by
Fitness Canada, was designed to address the problem of
sharply dropping fitness levels after adolescence. And, for
the first time ever• organizers made sure they involved the
target group in discussions: half the 125 delegates to the
symposium were between 13 and 24 years of age.
Delegates agreed that current physical activity pro-
grams. particularly those in elementary and secondary
schools. are not serving the needs of youth and, in fact, may
be contributing to the fact that the percentage of youth
reaching acceptable fitness levels drops from 96 to 40 per-
cent from the age of 13 to the end of adolescence.

Making Christmas Less Lonely
This December marks the 29th year of the Canadian Men-
tal Health Association of Metro Toronto's Presents for Pa-
tients program. The program brings brand new personabz-
ed gifts to thousands of people in Metro Toronto who will be
spedinlg Christmas or Channokah in a hospital psychiatric
unit, group home or boarding home.
Presents for Patients depends solely on donations for its
success. Alayne Metrick, co-ordinatar of the program. ex-
plained. "We ask for cash donations rather than actual gifts
because that enables us to provide personalized, useful
presents. Agencies send us lists of the kinds of presents they
need and we can match the gifts we buy to the requests...
In 1964, 3.000 people received a personalized gift throtngh
the program. The demand far outstrips what the program
can supply. This year, the program is hoping to target a
price of eight dollars per gift. "That small stun can bring
some warmth and caring to one of the kneliest times of the
year for people who are cut off from family and friends,"
said Metrick.

Give Fools Their Gold
Give fools their gold and knaves their power
Let Fortune's bubble rise and fall,
Who sows a field or trains a flower
Or Plants a tree, is more than all.
For he who blesses most is blest
And God and man shall own his worth
Who toils to leave as his bequest
An added beauty to the earth.
And soon or late for all that sow
A time of harvest shall be given.
The time the flower and fruit shall grow
If not on earth, at last in heaven.

Bob's Notes
Alcohol Facts
Impairment that may affect your ability to drive a motor
vehicle can begin after only one or two standard drinks and
well before a person reaches the legal limit of .08% (8o
milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood). This is a fact that
merits special emphasis during the holiday season when
there is a temptation to have the extra festive drink with
friends or family.
If you drink and have to drive, limit yourself to less than
one standard drink per hour. That is how long it takes the
average male to overcome the effects of drinking. It takes
the body (primarily the liver) that long to get rad of the
alcohol and its effects. ,
No Vote For Prisoners
A federal court case involving the rights of prisoners to
vote in the Quebec provincial election has re -opened the
issue of granting prisoners the right to vote. In a statement
in the House of Commons recently Pauline Browes, M.P.,
Scarborough Centre, called on the government to not allow
prisoners the right to vote in federal elections.
'•Our society is built on the rule of law and adherence to a
set of fundamental principles of justice and order.
Therefore, 1 find it incomprehensible that an individual,
who has violated the rights of others and Inas clearly
disregarded the responsibilities of citizenship should be
given a right so fundamental to the dirties of good citizen-
ship." Browes said.
Around Scarborough
by Gay Abbate
Just a Joke!
The City's worts department has just put out a brochure
for new bomeowmes to inform them about municipal ser-
vices such as sewers and garbage pick-up. On the front is a
picture of the typical vine -covered cottage to be found on
every street in Scarborough - a castle. No that is not a
typesetting error but rather a little joke on the port of his
dep w tmennt according to Wats Commissioner Roger
Broom.
Change It To :Metro
Ward 9 Alderman John Mackie thinks it's time people in
Toronto realize there is more to Metro Taranto than just the
city of Toronto. John wants the name of the TTC (Toronto
Transit Commission) changed to reflect lett the rest of Metro.
How about Metro Toronto Transit Commission or simply
Metro Transit Commission! Then instead of taking the TTC
we can all take the Metro and make believe we're in Pauls.

each paying their share of expenses, since its opening. But
both parties have glow so much that one has to question
whether their present arrangement will last.
The Board of Education, for instance, has already moved
out its plant deportment and will soon re -locate its audio
visual department. City fathers are considering moving out
the works department. lock, stock and barrel. into rented
quarters near the Civic Centre.
Occasionally council menbers bring up the suggestion
that it sure would be nice if the Bd.of Ed. moved out.
However, for them to move out, the city would have to come
up with some big bucks to compenste the Bd. of Ed. which
owns half the building. Last week, Controller Ken Morrish
raised the possibility of the board moving. Interesting bow
one never bears the Bd. of Ed. people say haw, nice it would
be if the city moved out!
Metro Is Toronto:'
Mayor Gus Harris has repeatedly stated that what's good
for the city of Toronto is good for the city of Scarborough. In
fact, Gus calls Toronto the heart of Metropolitan Toronto.
That may be but we bet a lot of people would disagree with
Gus' statement at last week's board of control meeting that
Metro is Toronto. Gus was saying that instead of objecting
to some of the big development projects planned for the city
of Toronto, Scarborough "should be strengthening Metro
which is Toronto". We can't believe he truly meant what he
said.

Residents Up In -Arms Over Water Slide Park
by Gay Abbate
Several hundred
Highland Creek residents
are up in arms over a water
slide park planned for their
community.
Already, a petition with
290 signatures has been
sent to Mayor Gus Harris
urging him to forget about
the project.
The park with several
water slides has been in the
works for several years but
the residents say they just
recently found out about it.
The park is planted for
9.5 hectares of city owned
land located north of
Ellesmere Rd. between
Conlin Rd. and Morn-
ingside Ave. The site is a
former municipal garbage
dump.
Two years ago, the city
signed a 20 year lease
agreement with George
Macey which would give
the city a percentage of the
profits. Macey died last
year but his sons plan to
proceed with the project.
The project has been held
up by the lack of parking
available on site. Attempts
to lease a large parcel of

Metro Toronto Library May Restrict Research Use
by Gay Abbate
Public taxpayers' money
should not be used to sup-
port the new Metropolitan
Toronto reference library
if it is not kept accessible to
the general public say two
Scarborough controllers.
Frank Faubert and
Joyce Trimmer, who as
members of Metro Council
control the main purse str-
ings for the Metro library
Board, have both express-
ed concern over the inten-
tion of the board to
discourage some of its
users. particularly high
school students.
If the board should
decide to go this route, the
two controllers said they
could not approve the
board's operating funds.
The reference library,
which opened at its
Yooge Blow location eight
years ago, is a victim of its
own success_ Since t mov-
ed from its old College St_
location where it had been
since 1909. the use of
materials has increased by
over 200$. Desk questions
alone have gone up by 20%
while telephone inquiries
which are discouraged
have increased by 4M.
Frmn this success stems
the library's real I r obiem -
insufficient staff to meet
the demand. As a result,
staff does not have the time
to perform their regular
duties such as shelving
books and filling gaps in em-
oting
The board has come up
with three scenarios to
resolve the problem: a
stand pat option where the
situation and overall poor
service remains, try to
meet the needs of all the
library's users including
students or remarket the
Wx ry so as to discar eg
certain user groups.
The third option nas
already been adopted by
the board which is now con-
sidering how to implement
its new policy.
The actual wording of the
policy adopted is vague and
talks about "appropriate"
and "inappropriate" uses
of the library and the
public's perception d the
hbbrra 's role versus the
board's own corporate
goals.
One of these objectives is
to promote greater use of
the facilities by resear-
chers, business and p tes-
we" groups, self-directed
study and other groups
seeking in-depth informa-
tion.

How To Care For
Your Poinsettia
For many, the poinsettia
is the plant that best cat -
dies the holiday sprit. Yet,
when given the bright red.
white and pink blooming
plants in full glory in
December, many don't
know bow to keep them so
tory can I ' m c y again and
again.
Hans Oosting. manager
of the York Cemetery cen-
tral greenhouse, which an-
nually grows hundreds of
poinsettias for a floral ex-
hibition open to the public.
advises:
Check the soil daily.
Water when dry to the
touch. Don't allow the soil
to dry out completely or re-
main soaked.
Place near a warm, sun-
ny window ( not touching
the glass) and away from
extreme beat, cold or
drafts.
To enjoy the plant
another season. stop water-
ing and store in a cool, dry
place when the leaves fall.
In spring, water and cut
stems back to six inches.
Repot in new soil and
submerge pot in sunny
garden spot. Keep stems
pmc3>Ied back as new leaves
form. From early, October
until bioormng starts, place
plant in dark closet
( without a single flash of
light) for 12 boas each day
(8 p.m. until 8 a.m.) and
keep in a sunny window for
the other 12 hours of the
day.
Fertilize during active
growth -
The Grist ams Poinset-
tia" is a member of the
1000 -species Eupborbia
family named after
Euphorbua, physician to
King Juba of Mauritania. It
was brought to North
America over one hundred
years ago by Dr. Joel
Poinsett, the first
American ambassador to
Mexico where the plant is
native.
Known in Central
America as Flame Leaf or
Flower of the Holy Night,
legend has it that a poor
peasant girl, unable to bury
a present for the Virgin
Mary, gathered roadside
weeds only to see them
burst into flaming red
poinsettas when placed
before the Virgin's statue.
Desire Under The Elms
When Eugene O'Neill's
Desire Under The Elms
premiered in New York in
1924, it was praised as the
fust great tragedy by an

Care For Christmas Plants
Phyllis Allen of the Agin-
court Garden Club offers
the following tips on how to
treat your flowering
Christmas plants when you
bring them home.
CMHA Volunteers Needs
Are your valuable skills
in communication, in infor-
mation sharing and in pro-
viding quality moral sup-
port reaching those who
really need them?
The Canadian Mental
Health Association, Metro
Toronto Branch, has oppor-
tunities for you to make a
difference helping people
regain their confidence in
the following areas: career
development and job
search, social interaction,
life skills and recreation
planning -
They also need office
volunteers, an ideal job for
someone who would like to
keep their office skills fine-
ly tuned, develop valuable
contacts and render real
service all at once.
Can you show your con-
cern and commitment for
three hours a week in a
challenging and rewarding
environment? Why not get
involved by calling Nora
Patterson, volunteer coor-
dinator, at 759.5661.
Keep all flowering plants
away from cold draughts
(opening doors), forced air
ventilators and off televi-
sions and refrigerators. As
a general rule, flowering
plants enjoy room
temperature and diffused
light, not direct sunlight.
Azaleas like it cool
( about 64F, 18C) . Let
azaleas get only slightly
dry between waterings,
and fertilize with
Phostrogen once a month.
Poinsettias can take
warmer temperatures
(around 68-70F) and should
be allowed to dry out
somewhat between water-
ings. Ptah your finger into
the soil, when it's dry one
inch down it's time to
water. Drain excess water
from the saucer and fer-
tilize monthly with
Phostrogen. The most com-
mon reason for leaf drop on
poinsettias is low light con-
ditions. Put your new
poinsettia in a south or
west window for a few
days, and gradually move
it back in the middle of the
room, if that is where you
prefer to have it.
Christmas Cactus will
drop its blossoms if it is
over -watered, so keep on
the dry side, and in a cod
place if possible. The
cooler the room the kinger
the blossoms last. Don't
drive the family out of the
bmuse though - 68F shi uid
provide six to eight weeks
of bloom. Don't fertilize un-
til March.

GOOD KING WENCESLAS
King Wenceslas looked
out,
On the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep, and crisp, and even;
Brightly shone the moon that
night,
Though the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight,
Gathering winter fuel.
"Hither, page, and stand by me.
If thou know'st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league
hence,
Underneath the mountain,
Right against the forest fence,
By Saint Agnes' fountain."
• "Bring me flesh, and bring me
wine,
Bring me pine -logs hither;
Thou and I will see him dine.
When we bear them thither,"
Page and monarch, forth they
went
Forth they went together;
Through the rude wind's wild la-
ment
And the bitter weather.
"Sire, the night is darker now,
And the wind blows stronger;
Fails my heart, I know not how;
I can go no longer."
"Mark my footsteps, my good
page:
Tread thou in them boldly;
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly. "
In his master's steps he trod,
Where the snow lay dinted ;
Heat was in the very sod
Which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
Wealth or power ing,
Ye who now will the poor
-�. Shall yourselves find blessing.
AWAY IN A MANGER
Awayinamanger.
No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky
Looked dawn where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.
The cattle are ]owing,
The Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus:
Look down from the sky,
And stay by my side
Until morning is nigh.
Be near me. Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to say
Close by me for ever.
And love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven
To live with Thee there.

GOD REST YOU MERRY,
GENTLEMEN
rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day,
To -save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.
( Refrain : )
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger.
Upon this blessed morn.
To which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn.
From God, our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name.
The Shepherds at those tidings
Rejoic-ed much in mind,
And lift their flocks a -feeding,
In tempest, storm and wind;
And went to Bethlehem
straightway,
The Son of God to find.
Now to the Lord sing praises,
Aliyou within this place,
And with tine love and
brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS
SING
Hrk! the herald angels sing.
"Glory to the new-born King,
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!,.
Joyful, all ye nations, rise.
Join the triumph of the skies,
With the angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
(Refrain:)
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born king."
Christ, by highest heaven
adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail, the Incarnate Deity;
Pleased as Man with man to
dwell.
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hail, the heaven -born Prince of
Peace.
Hail, the son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
?'4! Risen with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
WE THREE KINGS
F Fe three Kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, Moor and
mountain,
Following yonder star.
(Refrain:)
O star of wonder,
star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright;
Westward leading,
Still proceeding,
Guide us to they perfect light.
Born a King on Bethelehem's
plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again.
King for ever, Ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh,
Prayer and praising,
All men raising,
Worship Him, God most high.
Myrrh is mine, its bitter per-
fume
Breathes a life of gathering
gloom:
Sorrowing,
sighing,
Bleeding, dying.
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
Glorious now behold Him arise
King, and God, and sacrifice'.
Alleluia ! Alleluia!
Earth to the heavens replies.
THE HOLLY AND THE IVY
he holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the
wood,
The holly bears the crown.
( Refrain: )
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry orgaz
Sweet singing 1n the choir.
The holly bears a blossom
As white as any flower,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus
Christ,
To be our sweet Saviour.
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus
Christ,
To do poor sinners good.
IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT
CLEAR
It came upon the midnight
clear.
That glorious��gg of old,
From angels beennding near the
earth
To touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, good -will to
men
From heaven's all -gracious
King! "
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD
ON HIGH
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains.
(Refrain:)
Gloria
In excelsis Deo,
Gloria
In excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav my song?
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth theels sing;
Come, adore on bended,
Christ the Lord, the new-born
King.
But with the woes of sin and
strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have
rolled
Two thousand years of wrong,
And man, at war with man, hears
not
The love song which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.
And ye, beneath life's crushing
load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden
hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing.
O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL
come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O coxae ye to
Bethlehem;
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of angels:
(Refrain:)
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Sin& choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven
above:
"Glory to God in the highest : „
Yea, Lord, we greet t ,
Born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be glory given!
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing.
p *
JOY TO THE WORLD
joy to the world! the Lord is
come,
Let earth receive her king;
Let every heart prepare Hun
room,
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! The Saviour
reigns -,
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks,
hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows
grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings
flow,
Far as the curse is found.
He rules the earth with truth
and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love.

when you want something that's lovely and more
distinctive, it certainly makes sense to visit Aurora

comes to the finest in Custom -Made, and Exclusive
Pieces of Quality Jewellery.
in buying fine jewellery, one of the most important
things to know is your jeweller. His or her business
ethics, and knowledge should be above reproach.
This excellent shop is capably directed by Mr. Oscar
Burkovsky, who is a Europoean Craftsman, with thirty
years of experience. Back in 1976, "Oscar" first
started in the manufacturing and wholesaling of
jewellery. In 1979, he opened his first retail outlet,
known as Aurora Jewellery in downtown Toronto. He
moved his business to Scarborough in July 1984.
In the world of apathy that we live in today, it is
rather refreshing to visit Aurora Jewellery, as you'll
find that they are pleasant people who are truly in-
terested in their customers.
Whether you're looking for something unique in
quality gold jewellery, or in the market for a prescision
made watch, here at "Aurora" they feature two of the
finest names in timepieces: Citizen, and Raymond
Weil Watches.
For those particular people who want something dif-
ferent, you can do business with confidence at Aurora

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
The Panto's back in
'Toronto and the world, or
Toronto's part of it
anyway, is a better place
because of it.
You know, there's really
no such thing as a bad Pan-
to, just some that are bet-
ter than others. Mother
Goose, presently in
hilarious attendance at the
Royal Alex, is if not the
best we've ever seen, cer-
tainly the one we've en-
joyed the most in the last
several years. (We should
add that maximum enjoy-
ment of Panto is vouchsaf-
ed only when one is accom-
panied by a child and we
have not had that pleasure
for the aforementioned
past several years. Grand-
children someday maybe'
One is never too young to
be a grandfather after all-)
The play is. at one and
the same time, both labrim-
thine and ridiculously sim-
ple in plot and includes in
its cast of characters
Mother Goose, her
daughter Mary, Mary quite
contrary. Jack Spratt, a
villain Demon Vanity, a
goose that lays golden eggs
and a wonderful conic
waiter from Spain who
regales one and all with an
Italian" song titled Ah,
you face..
Nam of it snakes sense
and none of it is intended so
to do. The only real
message in the play is one
of enjoyment for young and
old and Mother Goose
dispenses it in large
measure of song, dance
and laughter.
In the title role there is
Tudor Davies in a role
tailor made for what one
used to refer to as a silly
ass Englishman but which,
in very real fact, requires
the combined skills of a
dancer and knockabout
comedian.
As the visitor from Spain,
there is Andrew Sachs
more or less reprising his
role of the dim witted
waiter of Fawlty Towers.
He has a fine comedic
sense of timing but more
Van that, he is a genuinely
funny man. One will not
soon forget the way in
which he breathes new life
into the hoary old bit from
the Gus Edwards School
Days sketch .. "Where are
the Andes"
"On the end of my
wristies!" Corny? Of
course. Hilarious, you bet!
Salome Bey. in a bit of off
beat casting is along as the
good fairy and if her voice
is not perhaps as good as it
used to be it's still good
enough to stir one's emo-
tions and her acting is all
that the roe- requires and
more.
Perhaps the real star of
the show if Panto can have
a star is Ross Petty as
Demon Vanity. One has
always appreciated his
singing and dancing but to
be fair, one has never
realized just what a fine
clown he can be. At the
beginning of Act II he does
a bit in which he takes off
every second rate Rock
singer anyone has ever ex-
perienced in a seedy Yonge
Street bar and comes close
to stopping the show.
One risks puffery in sug-
gesting that the man is
simply hilarious while
never allowing the au-
dience to forget that he is
truly a fine actor, singer
and musician.
In the space remaining
one should also mention
The Mosaics with their
Mack light theatre also in
Act II. Visually stunning
and quite, quite clever.
Yes, and there's the
music, and the
choreography of the small
corps that manages to
overcome the usually ex-
pected shortcomings of
British stage dancing.
What else is there' Well,
there is the thing that is the
best of all at the Best of
British. We mean the reac-
tion of little children seeing
theatre for the first time.

God bless the little
children and thank God as
well for Panto. Yes, one
knows that Christmas is a
celebration of the fact that
man will live forever but
what better way to
celebrate the fact in a
secular manner than to at-
tend Panto with
children!
ON SCREEN:
Christmas continues to

Club Med Turkoise Is A Great Place To Vacation
by Bob Watson
I've just finished my
fourth trip to a Club Med
Village and once again I
can report that the week
was fantastic!
It was a newly opened
Village on the island of Pro-
videnciales, in the Turks
and Caicos group of the
British West Indies. The
new Club Med Village is
called "Turkoise".
When I decided to take
this exciting trip, air ar-
rangements were not in
place, so I had to make an
air flight to Miami, Florida
to get to Club Med's Key
Air Charter flight to Pro-
videnciales. I chose the
best airline in the world -
Wardair - to go from Toron-
to to Fort Lauderdale and
then caught a Grayline bus
to Miami airport.
The Wardair flight was
first class with a breakfast
to beat all airline
breakfasts. One should
always travel Wardair -
their air staff is excellent
and the service is the best.
Reception at Club Med
Turkoise was the usual
happy, musical one with
greetings from the staff of
GO's (Gentils
Organisateurs) for the
guests, who are called
GUI's (Gentils Membres) .
Everyone was quickly
assigned to a room and
then erne the introductory
punch and welcome from
the Chef du Village.
The newly constructed
Village has lovely rooms
with white tile floors and
light matching wood on the
bed. dresser, night stands
and head board. It is equal
to any hotel room.

stuck to more tennis and
walking on the lovely light
coloured sandy beach.
There is something dif-
ferent about the sand in
this part of the world - your
toes just love to dig into it
while walking.
The food was, as usual
for Club Med, scrump-
tious! Breakfast, lunch and
dinner were all buffet style.
The gorgeous GO's escort
everyone to their dining
table and one can eat with
different people every
meal or eat with the same
group each time. You can
eat as much as you want,
but who needs all that extra
weight!
There were people there
from all over the United
States, some from Mon-
treal, Edmonton, one from
Scarborough and two from
Thornhill. Most people
seem to come from the
New York -New Jersey
area.
An excellent arts and
crafts room got my atten-
tion and guests were busy

fast enough and all the
work benches were full.
The big excitement of the
week was when the friendly
dolphin arrived to swim
among the swimmers and
divers. The first person
who noticed the flash of
gray go by thought it was a
shark. But the friendly
dolphin leaped out of the
water and began to talk to
everybody! Very soon he
was a familiar figure
swimming nearby and no
one was too upset with his
presence. So if you want to
swim aloft with a friendly
dolphin, Club Med Turkoise
seems to be the place.
Of course, the entertain-
ment each night after din-
ner was great. The GO's
perform amazingly well,
considering that most of
them are amateurs. But
the highlight of the week
was when the GM's were

Speaking
To You
Scott Fennel M.P.
Confndenc'e. That is the mood that erodes from the ma-
jority of people that I have met and talked with over the
past few weeks. Confidence exists in the business and in-
vestment sectors and with the populatioct at large.
In fad, members of the Investment Dealers Association
have expressed to me the opinion that the progress ac-
complished over the past year has exceeded their gretest
expectations by far. Throughout that time period, the in-
vestment community has been busy crating the largest
amount of new investment in the history of this country.
This increased activity is evidenced by the fact that over
400,000 jobs have been created over the same timeframe:
23,000 jobs in agriculture; 17,000 in construction; 77,000 in
wholesale and retail trade; 202,000 in the service sector,
and 25.000 jobs in manufacturing.
There are still areas in the country where unemployment
remains as a major problem; such as parts of the East
Coast where much of the employment is of a seasonal
nature, but there is no doubt that things are improving. In
our little section of the map, the unemployment rate cur-
rently registers at less than 4% and the recent announce-
ment of the Toyota plant in the Cambridge area will cer-
tainly keep the parts manufacturing plants in business for a
long time to come.
The increase in jobs means good news in more ways than
one. Not only does it mean increased purchasing power for
consumers, and increased demand for the products of our
businesses, but it also means that there is less of a drain on
our social programs. The latter makes the job of cutting the
deficit a little easier.
The major problem that the Government inherited was
the overwhelming debt that had been allowed to ac-
cumulate over the past 15 to 20 years. This debt led to the
erosion of the value of our dollar, and to the exodus of in-
vestment dollars from our country. As we bring the deficit
under control, the value of our dollar will continue to in-
crease and investment will flow back into the country br-
inging more jobs with it.
The promise of the Progressive Conservative govern-
ment was to improve the economy, and it is obvious that the
Report
from
Queen's
Park
By George Ashe, MPP Durham West
.... .. ................
CONSERVATIVES FORCE GAS TAX ROLL BACK
Action by Opposition Leader Larry Grossman has forced
Liberal Treasurer Robert Nixon to back down on a plan that
would have resulted in increased gas taxes. Had Nixon's
tax plan gone through, it would have cost Ontanans more to
fill -up their car, despite falling world oil prices.
Under Nixon's plan, the province will scrap the existing
tax structure which allows the level of taxation to rise and
fall with the price of gas. Nixon proposed a flat tax of 8.8
cents per litre that would be unaffected by the cycles of the
marketplace. This is now rolled back to 8.3 cents per litre.
Progressive Conservatives believed Nixon's proposed
gas tax was unfaw. At a time when the price of gas should
be falling Nixon was going to put on a tax that would result
in significant increased revenue for Queen's Park. The
Treasurer in effect, was trying to gouge the province's
drivers.
Northern members of the P.C. caucus were especially an-
noyed with the proposed tax change. Most northerners have
to travel long distances in order to get to work. A hike in the
gas tax would have hit them harder than most other groups
in the province.
Opposition leader Larry Grossman proposed that a
sliding scale tax system should be maintained on gas sales,
so that the tax taken by the province will be reduced when
the price of gas falls. The Liberals have rejected this
positive suggestion.
Progressive Conservatives were joined in their opposi-
tion to the gas tax increase by the NDP, who claim the roll
back of Nixon's proposed tax represents a victory for their
alliance with the Liberal government.
But the NDP argument just doesn't baid up. Without the
opposition of the P.C.'s, the liberals could have, and would
have. voted their tax increase. It was because the Conser-
vatives saw the fundamental unfairness of what Nixon was
proposing that the gas tax increase was roiled back.
The gas tax wos a small part of Treasurer Nixon's badly
flawed budget. While not much now+ can be done about our
damaged credit rating. "The loss of our coveted Triple A",
Conservatives and their new leader Larry Grossman will
be closely watching Liberal proposals and pushing for a
more positive economic program for our province.
A MORE LOCAL ITEM:
The Select Committee on Energy has tabled its interim
report in the legislature an the future of the Darlington
Nuclear Generating Station.
In brief summary, the report supported by the Conser-
vative and Liberal members, recommends amtaog other
things that: Units one and two sboeld proceed on schedule
as W% of the total cast has already been spent or eomn ut-
t,ed_ Construrcbm of units three and four should continue but
no new significant materials materiacontracts should be finalized
dung the next six months while the com Atee reviews the
eiectricity de nand supply scenario. In my view construc-
tion will continue after the review if for no other reason
than the fad that a cancellation of units three and four
wound mean 85% of the total cost of Darlington would be
spent but we would end up with a 50% asset.
The N.D.P. have maintained their dogmatic positionthat
Darlington in total should be cancelled at a ions of approx-
imately $7 billion to you the comers of Ontario. Oh well,
rational economic thinking has neva been a strength ion the
platform of the N.D.P.
policies of the Government are working. The economy is
performing well, and confidence has been restored. If you
do not get this message from the media in general, it is pro-
bably because of the unfortunate nate fact that good trews does
not seem to matte great headlines.
