Continuing Education Grants The board received cor- respondence from the Minister of Education Sean Conway on the new mechanism for the funding of continuing education programs. ERectiveJan.1, 1987, the ministry will pay to boards annually a fixed - dollar amount for each full- time equivalent pupil enrolled in adult credit for diploma courses, adult basic education courses and correspondence/self- study courses. The grant is designed to cover the full cost of providing continu- ing education programs and will not require any taxes from local ratepayers. The grants will eliminate the confusion generated by Bill 30 with regards to public boards of- fering continuing education courses to ratepayers who direct their taxes to separate school systems. R.

Jan. 7. 19141' Opinion a page for expression for you and us Another Good Year Forecast High levels of consumer confidence, coupled with the pro- longed period of interest rate stability should ensure another good year for the residential resale housing market in Toronto in 1987. These factors• combined with a continuation of current low unemployment levels. low vacancy rates, a large influx of first-time buyers, and a mass migration to the city from other areas of the country, have helped create the most ac- tive real estate market in Canada. "In 1987, residential housing sales are forecast to in- crease ten percent over 1986 levels, while the average sell- ing price of homes in Toronto is expected to climb ten per- cent to $148,1300." according to David Higgins, Vice Presi- dent and Divisional General Manager, Royal LePage Residential Real Estate Services. "Nineteen eighty-six was an incredible year in terms of sales and price activity. The average selling price in Toronto has not seen a percentage increase as high as the 1986 estimate since 1974. In that year, housing values climbed 30 percent. "Although healthy housing activity is expected to con- tinue well into 1987s. as a greater number of homes are listed for sale, some softening in the rate of price and sales in- creases is expected," said Higgins. "It is unlikely the Toronto market can sustain two consecutive years at these growth levels. "Housing unit sales are poised to experience an estimated increase of 25 percent over 1965 levels by year end ON." stated Higgins. "By year end 1996• housing values in Toronto are expected to increase 24 percent to $135.300. an increase in excess of $25,000 in comparison to the 19M figure of $109.094." Act Cracks Down On Polluters Pollution fines of up to $1 million and tough guidelines for the management of toxic chemicals are part of the new En- vironmental Protection Act which has been released in draft form by Environment Minister Tom McMillan. Pauline Browes, M.P. Scarborough Centre and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environ- ment. welcomed the new act as "concrete evidence of the federal government's determination to control toxic wastes and protect Canada's environment." The act brings together under one law some 58 pieces of federal legislation that deal with pollution control. It also offers a "cradle to grave" approach to the management of toxic cherricials. "Under the EPA. the government will be able to monitor and control chemical production from beginning to end,'• adds Brow•es. Industries will now be re- quired to carry out extensive environmental and health im- pact studies on all new chemicals before they are introduc- ed into Canada. The government will have the power to re- ject and recall any chemical that does not meet strict safety standards. ••t►ur focus will be on anticipating potential environmen- tal problems before they occur." notes Br•ow•es. As well as fining polluter, the government also will have the power to force offender to pay the cost for the clean up of spills or il- legal dumps. Federal regulations will also cover a wide variety of air• water and land protection standards. "Our message is clear. This government will take whatever ac- tion is necessary to stop pollution and protect the environ- ment we all share " Nation-wide hearings will commence in January to give the public an opportunit% to comment on the new legisla- tion Pauline Inyuc all those Interested In the Act to write with their comments to: Pauline Browes, M.P..

Will Benefit Consumers - Minister Federal Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Har- vie Andre has released departmental estimates of the ac- tual costs of proposed changes to Canada's Patent Act. The minister was appearing before the first session of the legislative committee which is examining Bill C-22, an Act to Amend the Patent Act. "There have been wildly exag- gerated claims about the cost of this Bill," Mr. Andre said. "The fact of the matter is that not a single drug on the market today will be affected by our proposals." "In fact." he added, "consumers will benefit from our proposals, since the prices of all drugs will be reviewed." The minister's analysis shows that if the proposed Bill had been in effect since 1969, consumers would have saved at least $226 million, and possibly as much as 3:366 million in 1983. news PICKERING P 0..S Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited.

Mainstream Canada Little memorable from Forget study By Tonv Carlson Trying to uncover the real story behind this country's Un- employment Insurance system is like peeling an onion. The more layers you pare off, the greater the chance that you'll be crying: tears of frus- tration if you're committed to reducing the acknowledged abuse of the system; tears of fear if you're worried that re- formists will gut a necessary in- come safety valve, and tears of anger if your own private boon- doggle is put in jeopardy. Touchy stuff, this, because so many people are in legitimate need of income when they're out of work. Emotions run high. Which helps explain why six people, headed by Claude For- get, hired by Ottawa to probe the UI system could not conte to anything like a consensus. In the end, though, it is not just this dissent that will scut- tle this study. It is the fact that there is very tittle memorable in the Forget report. To be sure, there are bits and pieces that seem practical and make good sense. Forger's ma- jority report does recomrnerW scrapping government -run makework projects. These do nothing to retrain workers so they can escape the ping-pong cycle of welfare and UI. But there is not much new here. It's been said before, most notably in the Macdonald roy- al commission on the economy. Macdonald recognized, and Forget has echoed. that a system which pays more to people in some parts of the country than in others is inherently unfair. Nor does in make sense to pay more to people to stay in high unemployment areas. People should not be forced to leave home to look for work, but there is something wrong with a system that makes it so attrac- tive to stay where jobs are scarce. Macdonald recommended, and Forget has confirmed, that retraining must become an in- tegral part of the unemploy- ment solution. This is eminently sensible when you consider that employ- ers, even in the midst of high unemployment, have trouble finding qualified employees. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business reports that 35 per cent of its members across the country have such problems. Even in British Columbia and Alberta, where the provincial economies are not exactly booming, 18 per cent can't find qualified help. Where Forget misses the point is in not recommending how a retraining scheme should be structured and in not sepa- rating. in a satisfactory way, the welfare component in the cur- rent UI from the income insur- ance aspect. Macdonald recommended, and most small businesses agree, that industries which ha- bitually lay off workers in a giv- en season should pay higher Unemployment Insurance pre- miums. It's called experience rating and it's a bedrock for most insurance plans. including auto insurance where drivers who make a lot of insurance claims pay higher premiums. Even the government is re- fusing to enter the debate now, saying it will wait until May to respond to Forget. Cynics might say they're waiting till seasonal employment picks up again after the winter hiatus— and maybe the polls will perk up by then, too. Those of us who are more charitable would prefer to think that they will use the time to consider the entire issue dispas- sionately, insisting that good sense and reason replace emo- tion and vote -grabbing as the decisive factors. ;;F,A Fearer �r•. r Bob's Notes M1,S Sales Slip In November As the national housing market enters the traditionally less active fourth quarter, the level of home purchases shows signs of slowing down, says The Canadian Real Estate Association I CREA i . On a percentage basis, preliminary residential transactions for :November numbered 13,682, representing a drop of 3.6 percent from the 14,194 home sales recorded in 1985. Despite the dip in November's residential sales, CREA President Robert H. Pedler says if the cumulative total, (January to November i continues its pace, there's no doubt the 1986 vear-end sales total will out -distance last year's recording breaking finish of 252.105 unit sales. "We're witnessing an adjustment in what's been a housing market buying spree," explains Pedler. "Home buyers are taking a breather and are directing their spending toward the retail market during the holiday season." X Pee Bob's Notes Rent Review Guidelines The rent review guideline for 1987 has been set at 5.2 per- cent by the Ministry of Housing. The 5.2 percent guideline is the amount by which a landlord can increase the maximum rent for a rental unit next year without applying for ap- proval to rent review. The guideline applies to all private rental units in the province. The Residential Rent Regulation Act, passed by the legislature this month, created an entirely new system of rent review for Ontario, designed to increase protection for tenants and to encourage the construciton of new rental housing. Under the new Act, a flexible guideline was established and rent review was extended to cover all private rental units in the province. Other major features of the legislation included the creation of a Rent Registry, a streamlined rent review process and a standards board to ensure proper building maintenance. Film Premiere The true story of one of Canada's greatest impostors is told in a new National Film Board documentary, "Long Lance", which will have its Toronto premiere on Thurs. Jan. 22 at 8 p.m., at the Royal Ontario Museum, loo Queen's Park.

CIGARETTES DOWN If the danger to health from smoking increases with the amount smoked, fewer and fewer Canadians are in danger.

Ed Fulton Minister of Transportation and Communicftns MPP Scarborough East It has been an extremely productive session for members- of embersof the Government. Since taking office, literally hundreds of initiatives have been launched to change the way we are governed - to provide more open and accountable govern- ment and to improve the quality of life for all Ontarians. In the most recent session, a total of 56 government bills were debated and passed into law to assist people of Ontario in the pursuit of a more secure way of life. In the Throne Speech last spring, Premier David Peter- son pledged to address three specific concerns which repre- sent important challenges Ontario must face for years to come. One is the need to insure that the people of Ontario suc- ceed in an increasingly competitive international market. We must compete with the best in the world to ensure growth in jobs and security. To that end, action was taken on a number of fronts in- cluding the creation of a billion dollar technology fund, ad- ministered by the Premier's Council. This council, compos- ed of representatives from business, labour and univer- sities, will steer Ontario into the forefront of technology and innovation. A second area of concern outlined in the Throne Speech is the need to adapt our education system - and our training programs - to ensure our young people can take advantage of the jobs of the future. In this vital area, the Liberal Government has significantly increased spending on post secondary educa- tion. We have also encouraged colleges and universities to become centres of excellence, developing expertise in targeted areas. And we have pumped additional resources into skills training programs and coop education, to make sure our young people have the basic skills needed to suc- ceed. A third matter of deep concern is the recognition of the changing demographics in Ontario - the aging of our population. and the rise in the number of single parent families. as well as double -incase families. These changes place new and increasing demands on our systems of care. The Government has launched an objective and thorough review of our healthcare system, a system on which we spend almost $10 billion a year. The Evans Review will ex- amine the long-term needs of our healthcare system, ad- dressing these demographic changes. as well as the new trends in health, manpower and technology and the need for greater emphasis on preventive medicine. To deal with immediate needs, we have invested $850 million in hospital improvements, launched initiatives to improve community support for our senior citizens and in- troduced amendments to the Nursing Hone Act to enshrine basic human rights for seniors in those institutions. Ontario at present enjoys the strongest economy in the country. We have been fortunate.

Jan. 7, 1986 Nothing Chicken About This When a 45 year old chicken farmer decides to go auto -racing, that's not (news. A little unusual, perhaps, but not really news. George Butterworth, a (broiler chicken producer from Uxbridge, realized a long-time ambition this (racing season when he decided to join the Hon- da /Michelin Series. With a background as an engine -builder and drag - racer at Deseronto and Cayuga. Ontario in the 60's, ;Butterworth felt that at his age, he had better make the move to racing while -he still had the chance. He approached Kentucky :Fried Chicken, Curtis Chicks, Maple Lodge Farms and Martin's Feed Mills, the latter of Elmira, with a request for sponsor- ship to go motor -racing. 'These firms were quite receptive, and George was on his way. The No.30 Honda was an immaculately prepared racing car, known affec- tionately to the other drivers in the series as " Ibe Chicken Car". While not the fastest Honda. George usually managed to finish in the top 20. And so, motoring along in a Saturday morning quali- fying session at Mosport, George recalls that a faster car was approaching him from behind at the en- trance to Corner 2. "The driver stayed on the left side of the track", George narrates. " V6'hile 1 was driving as fast as I could, I realized that I was going to be passed, so 1 moved over to the right side of the track as far as passible. Just as I started to get in the loose stuff, and as the other car was alongside, something happened which totally destroyed my con- centration The other driver blew his horn! All I remember is beep, slide, roll' " Although Butterworth thought he had rolled only once. witnesses say that the No.30 Honda, with a somewhat reluctant George along for the ride, did three rolls and two flips before coming to rest on its wheels in the middle of the corner. Despite the violent action in Turn 2, the interior roll - cage gave complete protec- tion to Butterworth, except for a bruise from his Metro Parks & Property ALL BREED Dog Obedience Training 1 Eastville Ave -Scarborough (Kingston Rd.ISt.Clair Ave.E.)

Bill Watt's Worlds PROLOGUE: "Now is the winter of our discon- tent made glorious summer by this sun of York." The time between yuletide and Easter is indeed the winter of discontent for many. Yet, the days do grow perceptibly longer and there is always the sun of York - aka Toronto - to see one through to spring, the prelude to summer. And, if the literal sun is not Always in presence, there is the sun of Toronto's night life. As always we will be writing much About it. For now, here is word of two interesting attractions. ONSTAGE: Don Harron opens tomorrow evening in a preview performance of Mass Appeal. It's not really much of a play and the motion pic- ture made from it wasn't any bet- ter. Nevertheless, we recommend your attendance if for no other reason than to see Don Harron in performance. He is a fine artist - that is beyond dispute - but it has been some con- siderable time since he has been seen locally in anything of substance. Same Time :Next Year, for example, is a good play but it's light and, we suggest, doesn't ex- tend him. Mass Appeal is, as we say. not a notably good play and re- quires true skill to bring out its values. We predict confidently that Mr. Harron will prove more than equal to the challenge. The play which is about the con- flict between a priest and his young deacon is being presented at the Canadian Rep Theatre on Avenue Road just below Davenport. ht's a former church. This Friday, Les Ballets T rockadero de Monte Carlo make what we believe is their first Roy Thomson Hall appearance. This is a troupe of men who send up the more popular show pieces of ballet. They are hilarious while never being offensive. In many respects the dancing you will see is as difficult if not mare so than the ..real thing". Not only must the dancers be true to the disciplines of choreography. they must do so while extracting comedic values. There might still be some seats available and we recommend at- tendance. IN PRINT: Books always come nobly to the rescue during the winter doldrums and here are several you might want to consider. The Clogger's Child by Mane Joseph ( Collins Arrow) is the story of a foundling girl who rises from a Lancashire mill town to become the toast of the British stage in the period between the two World Wars. It's captivating reading and all the more so because in the early part of the book there are strong overtones of Silas Manner. The heroine, born out of wedlock to a circus performer, is left with the clogger of the town in which she has been born. He raises her as his own and they each enrich the other's lives. The authoress refers to many real life personages - Gracie Fields, C.B. Cochrane, Vesta Vic- toria, Gertrude Lawrence and others - not always with chronological accuracy but cer- tainly with interest. ';ot an earthshattenng book nor -o intended but a pleasant read. Lucky Star (Ballantine) is by Mary Orr who wrote the story that became All About Eve. We suggest that the motion picture owes its credibility to Joseph Mankiewicz rather than to Miss Orr. One wishes always to be polite but nothing can hide the fact that Miss Orr is a terrible writer. One is aware of many who are born waters with nothing to say but Miss Orr is the opposite. She has a good story to tell here about the in- tertwining careers of three ac- tresses trying to make it in the theatre but she tells it in a style that would secure a failure for a first year journalism student. The story is intended to be quite spicy with seeming innumerable sexual interludes. One shouldn't fault Miss Orr for that. After all, it's what sells books to the hoi polloi. But, let the interludes be more than just physical descrip- tions and, for heaven's sake, let there be more than one word used to describe the act of coitus. The Underground Empire by James Mills (Doubleday) is a massive book running almost to 1200 pages. A friend of ours has suggested that one needs to be in jail to find the time to read it. That's as might be. We suggest that one should make time. The sub title is Where Crime and Governments Embrace and the wealth of detail provided by Mr. Mills in proof of the inter- relationship is truly frightening particularly when one is left with the thought that there really isn't much one can do about it outside North America. Everything in this book is true. No names have been changed, there are no composite characters, no invented scenes or dialogue. We are not usually given to direct quotes from books tinder review but wish to make an excep- tion here to prove the enormity of the problem of narcotics. "The in- ternational narcotics industry is. in fact, not an industry at all, but aninhabit- nts of the earth spend more matey on illegal drugs than they spend on food. More than they spend on housing. clothes, education, medical tare or any other product or service .. (it) is the largest growth industry in the world. "Its annual revenues exceed half a trillion dollars - three times the value of all U.S. currency in cir- culation, more than the gross na- tional products of all but a half doeen of the major industrialized nations. "Narcotics industry profits. secretly stockpiled in countries competing for the business, draw interest exceeding $3 million per hour... What we find truly frightening is that this information is known by the governments of the world and nothing is being done. Are the governments incapable of action or do they simply not care? Reflect on it. Then. read this book. And, while we're on the subject of money, the fundamental raison d'etre of crime, might we suggest Alix Granger's Don't Bank On It ( Doubleday) ? This is a consumer's guide to Canadian banks, trust companies, credit unions and other financial institutions and is an updated ver- sion of the 1981 edition. It's good but we disagree with the forward that declaims "you can tell from the calm, matter-of-fact way she goes about her task that Ganger is no crank, fanatic or enemy of the established order... It seems to this reader that she frequently presents an argument on little more than a supposed premise and we fear that because of this, many discerning readers might avoid the book and that would be unfortunate because it has great value. We have always disliked banks but our dislike had been a somewhat tenuous one to explain. This book, however, delivers to all and sundry, good and valid reasons to dislike them. More than that it presents ways in which one can fight back against or, at least, avoid the pitfalls of some of the seamier bank practices. Good book. Now then, what is the fundamental reason we dislike banks? Well, we've never been given a satisfactory explanation as to why one should have to pay to take out one's own money. Hell' we put it in and the bank uses it. Then, we have to pay to take it out. Yes, we know banking is a private enterprise and can do what it likes but whereinell is our government? Migawd, the people of Etobicoke can be told what temperature they must keep their bath water but the banks cannot be told or are not told to stop charging a depositor to remove his own money! Don't Bank On It might not stop such abuses but if it makes more people aware of them, then maybe, our gutless politicians might decide to do something. ON RECORD: Boomtown by David & David (A. & M.). A folk-rock duet premiers in this album focussing, quite depressingly on the horrors and corruption of modern day Los Angeles. The two musicians are talented musically but their "poetic" in- sights and expressions leave much to be desired. The album fails, we submit, due to overkill: every song shrieks of despair and inhumanity, hopelessness and bitterness. Listening to them, one almost wants to jump up and shout "Have a nice day" in sheer self defense. If this talented duo were to vary their messages, they'd be more successful musicians and less like Yonge Street poets. FAST EXIT: Marie Lloyd is another one of the performers mentioned in The Clog- ger's Child. We leave you with these words from one of her songs . .

Jan. 7, 1986 THE NEWS/POST Page 9 Rashomon Comes To Markham Rashomon, a compelling drama written by Fay and Michael Kanin, is Markham Little Theatre's se- cond production of the 1996-87 season. The play evolved from Akira Kurasawa's acclaimed film of the same name which was based, in turn, on two short stories by Ryunasuke Akutagawa, one of Japan's foremost twentieth cen- tury writers. In 1959, the stage version of the talented husband -and -wife playwriting team became a smash Broadway hit starring Claire Bloom and Rod Steiger. Set in lith century Japan, the central story concerns the mystery surrounding a terrible crime. As conflicting evidence is presented in court, the story is re-enacted over and over, according to the differ- ing versions of the witnesses. Michael Preuss plays the for- midable Bandit, the slain Samurai and his Wife are played by Paul Jackson and Anne Robinson, Bun- ty Webb is the Wife's Mother, John Storey is the Woodcutter and Don Kelly plays the Wigmaker. Making their debuts with MLT are David Fleishman as the Depu- ty, Martin Smith as the Priest and Lyn Jones as the Medium, through whom the dead man testifies. Rashomon is MLT's second en- try in the 1996-87 drama festival of the Association of Community Theatres, Central Ontario. The Thursday night performance will be adjudicated by Ron Cameron. An intriguing blend of suspense, mystery, drama and humour, Rashomon runs from Jan. 21 to 24 at the Markham Theatre located at Highway No.7 and Warden Ave., Markham. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Tickets are$10 and are available at the Theatre box office, 479-0¢01. Major credit cards are accepted. Seats are available at half price for seniors and students on Thurs.

Canadians apparently still believe in grand- mother's wise words 'an apple a day .. '. According to a 1982 83 national con- sumer survey conducted by Market Facts of Canada Ltd.. Canadians eat apples more often than any other fruit. In Ontario, the world- famous McIntosh is the most popular variety with a farm value over $15 million. The following tips, from Foodland Ontario, will guarantee enjoyment of this daily treat. BUYING: Look for firm, brightly colored McIntosh apples which are smooth - skinned and free of bruises. Wondering how many ap- ples to buy for a recipe? Three large apples weigh about a pound ( 500 g) . One medium apple yields one cup ( 250 mL) diced or slic- ed. STORING: Store ripe McIntosh apples in per- forated plastic bags in the refrigerator to retain flavor and crispness. When stored properly, McIntosh apples will stay in peak condition for two to four weeks. During refrigerator storage apples give off ethylene gas (a ripening hormone) that encourages other fruits and vegetables to overripen. For example, lettuce stored with ripe ap- ples is apt to quickly turn brown. If possible, keep ap- ples in a separate storage bin in the refrigerator. A large basket of McIn- tosh apples can be stored in an area that's cool and well ventilated - 32°F to 40°F (0°C to 4°C) is ideal. Place sheets of perforated plastic over the basket to help re- tain humidity. Separate spoiled apples from perfect apples before storing; one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch! FREEZING: Freeze McIn- tosh apples in a dry sugar pack for best retention of color and flavor. Wash, peel, core, and slice fully ripe apples. Pack in dry sugar with ascorbic acid (to prevent browing) . For 4 cups (1 L) prepared fruit, dissolve 1.4 tsp (1 mL) powdered ascorbic acid (or 800 mg in tablet form) in 114 cup (50 mL) cold water. Report from Queen's Park By George Ashe. MPP Durham West :............................. ... As many of you know, particularly those who are obliged to commute each morning going west and returning each afternoon or early evening travelling east, our traffic pro- blems are getting worse. As early as 6:30 a.m., stop and go traffic on the 401 west- bound has become a common occurrence. It continues to worsen for the next two hours. Starting at about 4 p.m. the eastbound direction picks up the problem. You may very properly enquire " .. is a solution immi- nent?" The answer is "NO!" The problem will worsen before we receive any relief. On Oct. 15th, I wrote the Minister of Transportation and Communications again expressing grave concerns about the inadequacy of Hwy 401 and Hwy. 2 to serve our needs in a reasonable manner. I suggested that the current 5 to 10 year time frame to implement the through -collector system east of Neilson Road was not satisfactory, that the time for action was NOW. Two months later, December 15th to be exact, I received a reply from the Minister. I was thanked for expressing "concerns and comments on the transportation needs of Durham West". I received no time commitments that I can pass on to you, however. I was reminded that the Ministry had initiated a Transportation Planning forum which "will assist the Government in deciding on future transportation invest- ment". Whoopee! By the way. in case we did not know, the Minister also in- formed me that "The Regional Municipality of Durham and Metropolitan Toronto have both placed a high priority on the upgrading of Hwy 401 from Neilson Road easterly through Oshawa". Whoopee again! Our problem is NOW. 1 will continue to press this point with the Government on your behalf - The McIntosh Apple -- Ontario's Gift To The World 'McIntosh' is the most famous name in Canadiatr Oul standing flavor applies - remarkably at- tractive appearance has earned the McIntosh apple acclaim throughout the world. And, it all started in Ontario! Ontario's apple industry can trace its beginnings to 1796• when a Scottish im- migrant named Johan McIn- tosh found 20 wild apple trees on his land at Dundela, near Morrisburg. In 1811, seedlings from the apple trees were planted in an orchard, but only one survived. That one eventually pr'oduc'ed such spectacular juicy red results that McIntosh began selling seedlings from it. (It was not well recognized in those days that apples did not cane true from seed. Later, in 1335, the original McIntosh apple was successfully reproduc- ed from the parent tree through budding and graf- ting techniques introduced Sprinkle over prepared fruit and mix gently before adding 1 4 cup (50 mL) sugar. Pack into freezer bags or containers and store, for up to one year at 0°F (-180C). Use these ap- ples for fast apple sauce or pie filling. THE TRUTH BEHIND THE OLD ADAGE: Eating an apple a day might not keep the doctor away, but according to Dr. David Jenkins, M.D. professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto, ap- ples fit well into the Cana- dian nutrition plan for good health. Current guidelines advocate consumption of low-fat, high -carbohydrate and high -fibre foods. Although apples contain small amounts of potassium and vitamin A, their principle nutritional value is based on fiber con- tent. by son Allan McIntosh. The new variety was named 'McIntosh Red'. Today. the total Ontario McIntosh apple production - 70,000 imperial tames (95,000 metric tons) - can- not o-not be matched by any other province. In Ontario, the McIntosh is the most important apple, represen- ting 35% of a $15 million Ontario farm value. In Canada, the McIntosh accounts for half of all ap- ples produced. It is also prized in many parts of the world for its crisp, juicy qualities. Buffalo Power (IDRCI Farm equipment m South- east Asa is more likely to be rated to but fab -power than horst-power. The strong. placid and long-lived animal is once again coming into its own as the high price of gasoline has forced small farmers to abandon motor -driven tillers for the four - legged kind. The water buffalo has pulled ploughs through Asia s rice melds for morethan4000 years. All pansof the animal can be used, from its intimi- dating horns for buttons and uten- sils to the hair in as ears for surgical and other brushes. The meat from young buffalo is also very good. The water buffalo had come to be regarded as a symbol of backward- ness. But in the last 10 years there's been a surge of interest to the animal, concentrating on its health and hus- bandry. Buffaloes do, in fact, have a number of drawbacks. They are slow to mature and breed only sea- sonally. Because they are almost hatrless, they have difficulty regulat- ing their body temperature and are prey to tnsr.-t bites. That's why they need a good wallow to a muddy river each day. Thailand has been in forefront of the •'Better the buffalo" campaign. One of the country's most innovative programs is the Buffalo Bank, which hires or sells buffaloes at very low prices. To help researchers from other countries share information. Can- ada's Internaiwaal Development Research Centre funded the estab- lishment of an International But fab Information Centre at kasetsan Uni- versity in Bangkok. Thailand. It should help guarantee the future of Asst's living tractor.
