How did poor sighted people read before they were invented? C. D. A. No precise date exists concerning when eyeglasses were first used. The closest we can come is the late 1280's. \Rho invented them is auicertain. Some claim a Dominican monde from Pisa. named Alessandro di Spina. was the inventor. Others say he merely copied a pair which already existed. Still others contend that the Chinese should take credit for creating the first pair of spectacles. During Marco Polo's visit to the Orient in the 1270's, he supposedly met a person who wore glasses. The earliest European eyeglasses had convex lenses and were used for reading. (Eyeglasses for the nearsighted ap- peared in the sixteenth century.) Prior to the invention, in- dividuals who suffered from farsightedness relied on a variety of methods to glean information from books. Some were able to magnify the print by placing a water -filled glass container over the words. Others were known to have used a convex glass lens over a page of text. Still others with poor sight hired people to read aloud to them. Of course, the inability to see clearly enough to read was not a major problem in the thirteenth century and earlier since few people had learned to read at that time. Q. I give up. What is a Davy Safety Lamp? E. D. A. It is an oil lamp created for use in mines. Miners needed a lamp which would light their way without exploding sur- rounding gases. English chemist Sir Humphrey Davy 11778-18291 created such a lamp - the Davy Safety lamp. Its key feature is a wire gauze cylinder which lies above the lamp's flame. When the flame is lit, its heat is funneled into the wire gauze and away from gases outside that might explode if exposed to the heat. Q. What is a "red letter day"? T. S. A. Red letter days originally referred to holidays and saints' days. Calendar makers often marked holidays in red to remind the reader that these were special days. While holidays are still marked in red on calendars, red letter days are now thought of as days when good things happen for an individual. Q. Just how far can an anteater extend its tongue? C. G. A.

Has anyone ever reached the deepest part of the ocean? A. Yes. On January 23, 1960, Donald Walsh and Jacques Piccard climbed into the bathyscaphe Trieste and reached the deepest area of the earth's ocean. Their descent, which was 36,198 feet, took four and one half hours and occurred in the Marianas Trench in the South Pacific. Q. Where did the term white elephant come from? A. White elephants are articles or possessions which are useless to their owners. The term may have come from seventeenth century Siam ( now Thailand ). It is said that the king gave white elephants to people who had annoyed him. The animals were considered sacred and could not be used for work. Consequently, the white elephants became costly, useless possessions to their owners. Q. Is South Africa part of the British Commonwealth? Anon. A.

Page 7 THE `F WS4 POST" ed. Jan. 14.19M' Opinion a page for expression for you and us The Post Office Well, the Mulroney government has lost another batch of voters with its approval of a two cent increase in postage rates for first class mail. We applaud its idea to beat the deficit out of the post office, which hasn't made a profit since the fifties, but raisipg the prices is not the correct method of doing business. It is obvious to almost anyone who looks seriously at the postal system in Canada that over the Trudeau years it got completely out of hand and that government didn't seem to care about deficits. Voters in Canada were looking for the Mulroney government to investigate what is wrong with the post office and why it is not making a profit for the tax- payers of this country. The answer is that these MPs - just like the ones in the Trudeau government - are afraid to open up this can of worms. R7ty does it take a letter four working days to get from Scarborough to west Toronto" The basic system seems to be right, but we believe that management in the post office is frustrated and unable to do a decent job because of rather unusual union contracts which puts the union in more con- trol than in any other business. And the union is certainh• not interested in making a profit, but you would think it would be interested in making the system work and therefore proving that its way- is right' The American post office has just recorded over $100 million profit for last year - and with no increase in postal rates. The answer to our poet office is very simple. but our members of Parliament haven't got the fortitude to tackle the problem of the post office.

Pay " Discrimination rs: a Myth - COLIN BROWN A recent report on wages issued by Statscan seemingly provided new ammunition to those who support "pay equity" legislation for women. The report showed that women working full-time earned about two- thirds of what men working full-time did. This has been seized upon by some as proof that women are discriminated against in the workplace and that private businesses must be forced by law to increase the wages of female workers. What the proponents of "pay equity" refuse to recognize or accept, however, arc the relatively simple explanations for this "wage gap'. These explanations are supported by some compelling — and decisive — evidence. Marriage and family responsibilities tend to increase the wages of men and decrease the wages of women. This is because many women choose to leave the work force entirely to bear and rear children, or reduce their work efforts to part-time. At the same time, husbands generally work harder to support their families. One amencan study showed that divorced, separated, and single men work 20 percent fewer hours than married men and even with the sane age and credentials. bachelors urn less than 60 per cent as much money as husbands. Women raising children interrup their work, shun travel, overtime, weekend work, and an less willing to relocate. One American study found that parenthood -increased men's desires for prurnotion and their efforts to achieve it and decreased bah among women". A recent study by the respected Fraser Institute showed that women who had never been marred in 1981 earned 83 1 per cent of what never married men did. The study also says that if the data were adjusted to include other faetion such as education and age, `the female - mak gap would van" entirely" The Fraser Institute had Statscan compile a special report. using available data, which found that in 1971 single. DAVID SOMERVILLE university educated women earned 10 per cent more than similar men did. In 1982, the figure was 10 per cent less. Obviously these women are not subjected to pay discrimination in the work place. The point is that when men and women are equally qualified the statistics indicate they receive roughly equivalent wages. In other words a "discriminatory wage gap" does not exist. It is these factors and not discrimination which accounts for the income gap between genders. When this evidence is accepted. "pay equity" is reduced to a flawed solution to a non- existent problem. Unfortunately, legislation to impose pay equity on the private sector — now being debated in Ontario — will be harmful. Its implementation will cause job losses for lower paid women because businesses will find the wages of their female employees artificially over- priced. Further, pay equity will have a chilling effect on investment in provinces such as Ontario where it has been adopted. Business will not appreciate government officials dictating what wages they should pay to their employees. No doubt both Canadian and international investors will respond by diverting money into the freer environment south of the border. Pay equity is demeaning to women. It will cause many to question whether working women are getting part of their incomes because of their gender or because of their competence. An income gap between nen and women does exist as the latest evidence from Statscan slows. However, pay equity is an unfair method of dealing with the gap because it is based on the false premise that discrimination exists.

By Dec. 31, building per- mits, the prime indicator of building activity in the city, reached $482,990,900 falling just slightly under the 1985 figure of $483,525,286. Several months ago, the forecast by building com- missioner George Fleming was not quite so bright. Fleming predicted permits would be in the $420 to $450 million range. A flurry of activity in December, especially in the commer- cial and industrial sector, raised the final tally to almost an all-time high.

Though born in Manitoba, Margaret Laurence settled in Lakefield, Ont. where she died Monday. "We in On- tario, whether we were for- tunate enough to hear her read publicly or had the privilege of meeting her personally, benefitted from how generous she was with her time, spirit and talent," Mrs. Munro said.

This includes buildings, .to homes and mobile home sites first occupied as rental units after 1975. n the past, tenants living in unit,~ which first came on the market after 1975 - post- units were not protected by rent review. Under the new legislation, tenants living in pohi-75 units are now protected by rent review along with all other tenants in private rental units in Ontario. As well, the pro%isions extending rent review to cover post -75 units are retnxn*r to August 1. 1985. Ibis means that the four per cent Guideline which was in place from August 1. 19ti5, to December 31, 19t*i, applied to posit -755 o units during this period. Thus, landlords who charged tenants of post -75 units more than the four per cent Guideline during this period must now justify those rent increases or refund to tenants the difference between four per cent and the higher amount charged. Tenants in post '75 units: do not make immediate deductions from your rent ftir the prt—_*71t, tenants li *W in port- 7 5 units should pay the amount rMAested in the notim by their landlord unlit the matter is rm)hwd through rent rmleu Under no circumstances should tenants make immediate deductions from their rent cheques because an illegal deduction could lead to eviction by the Courts. Tenants in post -75 units: obtaining a rent rebate. • 1 f the landlord of a post -7.5 unit has not made an application to rent review by March 2. 19137, the tenant is entitled to a rebate of rent-, paid above the 4 per cent Guideline between :august 1, 19K5, and December 31, 11%b. • I f the landlord does not voluntarily pay the tenant the rebate owing the tenant is advised to file an application with the tical Rent Review Office for an order requiring the land- lord to pay the rebate. • I f the tenant is crrtain of the amount of the rebate, the tenant may deduct the amount from a rent cheque. Requirements for landlords of post-' 75 units. • Landlords who have charged tenants more than the 4 per cent Guideline from August 1, 19135, to December 31,1986, have until March 2. 19%7, to apply to rent review to justify these rent increases. • To apply; a landlord must file an application form and supporting information with the local Rent Review Office, showing that the rent increases were justified • landlords who apply to justify these rent increases must give a copy of their application to all of their tenant-, within 10 days of apply- ing. Tenants are entitled to examine all the materials filed and to make submissions to the local Rent Re%iew Office. • Landlords who do not apply to rent re%iew on or before March 2,1987, must rebate excess rent-, charged to tenant-, between August 1, 1985, and December 31,1986. Landlords of post '75 units who have already served notice of a rent increase above the 1987 Guideline: Under the new legislation, the Rent Review Guideline for the year 1967 is 5.2 per cent Some landlords of post -'75 units have already served tenants with notice of a rent increase effective on or after January 1, 1967, which exceeds the 5_2 per cent Guideline. These landlords also have until %larrh 2, 1967, to apply to rent review for approval of a 1987 rept increase above the 5_' per cent Guideline. If the landlord applies to rent review: tenants will receive a copy of the application and be given a full opportunity to participate in the rent review process. If the landlord does not apply to rent review and the time period for doing so expires, the landlord must rebate the difference between 52 per cent and the higher amount charged during PN 7.

Sherwood at Fairview Library Theatre, 35 Fair- view Mall Blvd.' The dates are Tours. Jan. 29 to Sat. Jan. 31 and Wed. Feb. 4 to Sat. Feb. 7 with a Sunday matinee on Feb. 1. Idiot's Delight is a tragicomedy set just prior Choral Society Welcomes New Members The Irish Choral Society is preparing for its spring concert. The group meets at Midland Collegiate every Thursday at 8 p.m. for a program of singing, stage movement and fun. it always welcomes new members. Anyone in- terested should call Alf Park at 266-2395 or Marjory Reid. 756-1915. Acres. Anyway, Air. Gordon is the star of "Corpfse" and we look forward to seeing him in the production and meeting him. We have bag admired his work. IN THE CLUBS: The Imperial Room re- opens next Malay with Phyllis Diller. this will be her seventh engagement. Last year she was SRO and there is no reason to sup- pose this year will be any different so don't wait to make your reservations. Ms. Diller will be follow- ed in successive weeks by B. J. Thomas and Eartha Kitt. The advance wan: is that Miss Kitt will incor- porate dancing in her act this time around. Many have forgotten that she began as a dancer with the Katherine Dunham troupe - we still insist that we saw her in Casbah. the musical remake of Algiers - and can really move. ON RECORD: One has difficulty understanding why anyone would like the songs of Leonard Cohen but we draw to your. attention "Famaiuss Blue Raincoat: The Songs of Leonard Cohen" by Jennifer Warnes ( Attic ). Miss Warnes 1s perhaps best known for her single "Up Where We Belong", from the film "An Officer and a Gentleman". She is an artist of fine vocal clari- ty, good range and over all talent. We find it ironic and perhaps even bizarre that she has re-recorded these songs of the faded 60s legend. His attempts at singing were more like pained moans. Nevertheless, Mr. Cohen assisted in the production of this LP and his influence is evident; so much so that Miss Warnes' voice which is, of course, far superior to that of Mr. Cohen does not detract from what ever it is that Mr. Cohen is trying to express. Believe it or not, it's the songs not the singer that come through on this album making it an ex- cellent collaboration that Continued on Page 10 is based on a blind man seeking his independence through the help and hinderance of the girl next door and his over -bearing mother.

Santa Brings Baby Bongo When Santa and his reindeer danced through the pre Christmas skies of southern Ontario, they left a very special Christmas present behind at the Metro Toronto Zoo. They left behind a baby bongo, the first ever to be born in Canada. When keepers arrived at the bongo holding on Sat. Dec. 20th, they were thrill- ed to find a newborn bongo, on its feet, completely cleaned off, and calmly nursing. The Mum, Pamba i3 years old), and the Dad. Gita ( 4 vears old) , are both from the Los Angeles Zoo. Although this is Pamba's first birth, she is taking it in stride, and is mothering her baby like a veteran. The bongo is a shy, heavy set antelope from the thick brushland of equatorial Africa. ft's a beautiful cop- pery coated animal which is dramatically marked with vertical white stripes on its body, and white smudges under its eyes. Both sexes bear horns. The new baby boy is a smaller scale mirror image of its parents, minus the horns. Wed.

Irene and your truly took our "every two years" January trip on a cruise ship and we believe that it was the best one yet. This was our fourth time on the S. S. Britanis. and w Nle it is the oldest ship afloat, it seems to have the best atmosphere .. and the food is delicious at all times. Our travel agent - Graham's Travel - was very generous to us and sent a limousine to our home to deliver us to the airport. The limo was driven by an attractive young woman. whose father owned the company. We left Toronto via War- dair on this Wardair package and going on the best airline that we know of is the way to start a fan- tastic holiday. The flight attendants are good and food served on a tray with a tablecloth, silverware and Royal Doulton china does start the trip off just right' Our plane took us non- stop to Montego Bay. Jamaica, where our bags went right from the plane to the cruise drip lying at anchor just a couple of miles from the airport. Having sailed on the Britanis in 1979. 1961, and 1985, it was like old familiar grounds to be aboard again. Basically it was the same as before, although many rooms had been redecorated. We asked for a table for 8 in order to sit with six other people and establish some friendships whine on board In actual fact we go a six table with three from Toronto and one from Lon- don. ont. Bea is a social worker in west Toronto. Dave writes a food column for the Toronto Star. Ian is with Redpath Sugar and Rax was from London. Ont - Well. many people who have never been on cruises ask howthe food is on board and it is difficult to give an adequate answer. However, just visualize a travel menu with about six items each in juice. soup. en- tr•ees, and dessert as well as drinks, all of which you could eat if you wished and you've got the picture. Them think "the best" and you've got the complete story. There are two sittings for the 700 people on board and we took the late sitting. Every evening a ship's newspaper called "Seascape" was slipped under our cabin door and told about all of the ac- tivities for the coming day. Activities included ......................... . ..... ...... Play Safe Don't Drink & Drive aerobics classes, ping pong, hair and beauty demonstrations. Greek dance classes, shuf- fleboard, financial lec- tures. arts and crafts, bridge. astrology lectures, trapshooting, games around the pool,- bingo. trivia quiz, disco till 4:30 a.m., two groups of music with 5 men per band and the highlight every evening - singers• an illusionist and a dancing group of gals just like in Las Vegas' Of course. in addition there were trips ashore at Aruba: Cartagena. Colum- bia: San Blas islands and Panama. The ocean air and sum is terrific - especially in January when you are from this part of the world' What clothes do you wear on a ship? Well. there were only two formal attire •'%enings when men wore �:u is and ties and women ti ore the best they had brought• but otherwise shorts are banned for din- ner, but are wearable any other time. You don't need a big wardrobe, but newcomers to the crusining life come often with twice as much as is needed. We can't get all of the fun of a cruise ship in one arti- cle, so we will continue with more details next week. At left - Irene shakes hands with S. S.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has consulted its members and has come to the same con- clusion. If the United States restricts access to their market, and protectionism in the U.S. is growing, we can expect Ontario will see businesses relocate where they can operate without the burden of tariffs and non -tariff barriers. The result will be jobs lost and a weakening of our economy. This phenomena will not just affect large companies. Mid-sized firms are involved as well. For example, Gray Tools of Brampton exports 35 percent of its output to the U.S., and American sales are growing. While Gray Tools would prefer to remain an Ontario -based company, if barriers are raised against Canadian trade they will be compelled to open shop in the United States. Another Ontario firm, Russel Steel has already made its move. Instead of expanding operations in Ontario, Russel Steel purchased a plant in Wisconsin this past year and is now in the market for more American locations. Even UTDC, the former government owned transporta- tion company, has had to move south in order to protect American contracts. Because of "Buy American" policies for rapid transit equipment, the final assembly for 50 light- rail vehicles destined for Santa Clara had to be conducted in California rather than at the Can Car Rail plant in Thunder Bay. Similarly, a contract for 18 bilevel commuter cars rests with assembly for this equipment near Miami, rather than in Ontario. The migration of businesses from Ontario, is just one of the potential economic disasters that could result if Canada fails to negotiate a freer trade package with the United States. Ontario depends on the U.S. market for over 90 percent of its exports. including both natural and finished products. In fact, end products make up nearly three quarters of the goods we sell to the Americana. All of this business will be put in jeopardy unless our U.S. markets are protected by a freer trade agreement. David Peterson has been trying to sabotage freer trade talks with misleading figures and distorted facts. Coming from the Premier of Canada's most populous province, his alarmist comments run the risk oft. ting an even greater protectionist backlash from the U.S- The recent Congressional elections in the United States have further farmed protectionist sentiment in the American capital. These elections make the need for a freer trade agreement all the more urgent. It is time Ontario Liberals put aside their political postur- ing. and promote Ontario's best interests. Our province can and should benefit with a sound freer trade agreement. Let's put the Gull support of Ontario behind freer trade negotiations. sive tax reforms. A key objective will be to get tax rates down. The way to get rates down is to broaden the tax base. That means eliminating, reducing or modifying a wide range of specific tax incentives (preferences) that have piled up over the years. This will make the system simpler and fairer. As a result of applying a lower rate to a broader tax base, three out of four Canadians will pay less personal income tax. A similar problem exists with respect to corporate taxes. Rates are too high to be competitive with other countries, while many profitable corporations are able to avoid pay- ing their reasonable share. The same approach will be followed. Lower rates will be applied to a wider tax base. Canada's federal sales tax is outdated, inefficient and un- fair. It covers only one-third of all goods and services. It often treats similar products in dramatically different ways. Many imports to Canada are taxed less than domestic goods, and exports are put at a disadvantage in foreign markets. A new, broadly-based sales tax with lower rates will en- sure equal treatment for all products and services. The goverment will offset the impact of this on lower-income Canadians by enhancing the new refundable sales tax credit. Over the years, personal income taxes have accounted for a growing share of total taxes. The government will rebalance its revenue sources. This means collecting less from personal taxes and more from the corporate and sales taxes. The overall outcome will see most taxpayers paying less income tax, and, therefore, will be better off. Corporate rates will be lower, but profitable corporations will pay their share. The government will collect more total taxes from corporations. Federal sales tax rates will drop, and sales taxes will be imposed more broadly and fairly across all sectors. This will result in more tax revenue. An enhanc- ed refundable sales tax credit will protect lower-income Canadians. Tax reform will replace special tax breaks with the best incentive of all - lower rates. Modifying and eliminating tax preferences will call for tough decisions, and the government intends to make them. A good start has been made by removing a number of techniques used to avoid tax by individuals, by broadening the tax base for corporations, and by introducing a minimum tax on high-income earners. The Finance Minister will bring forward specific proposals for tax reform at the time of the next budget.
