What is the difference between antlers and horns' I.S. A. Antlers are made of solid bone. Each year they break off and new ones grow in their place. It is the deer family which grows antlers. The process begins in the spring and sum- mer when the antlers are soft and covered with a velvety skin. When full grown in he autumn the antlers are hard and devoid of the velvet. i Icing the winter they fall off and the cycle begins anew. Horns are made not only of bone but also of skin and keratin. The interior of the horn is bone. Around the bone is found a thin layer of skin. The outer laver is made of keratin which is the same material found in fingernails. Unlike antlers,horns are constructed to stay attached to the animal's head for the life of the animal. Cattle, sheep, goats and antelope have horns. Q. What is the average human intelligence' D.M. A. The average intelligence quotient, or I.Q. is 100, with the normal range falling between 70 and 130. An I.Q. below 70 generally indicates mental retardation. If it is above 130, it indicates a gifted mind. This space could be Drinking and hooting dont go together any more than dri.*xV and driving.

Steve London Gets His Snow Control Recognized Making a good thing bet- ter is Steve London's philo ooy- Eaasch year, since he was in grade 8 at R. H. Cornish P.S., Steve London has ad- ded to and perfected his Science Fair project with the result that his entry for spring 1986 has brought him rewards and recogni- tion across Canada. Currently in grade 11 at Port Perry H.S.. Steve was one of five Durham Board of Education students to be invited to travel to Calgary last May to compete in the Canada Wide Science Fair. His project, entitled Snow Control, was developed as a result of conversations with Gary McIntyre, Works Super- visor for the Town of Whit- by Public Works Depart- ment, who confirmed that the effect of wind on snow, namely drifting, can result in both poor visibility and hazardous driving condi- tions. Steve set out to ac- cumulate data and, from that, build exact models of two stretches of rural road in Durham which were known for their serious drifting problems each winter. With his models designed to rotate 360 degrees within the project, and utilizing fine silica sand to scatter on the water moving through the project at various speeds, Steve was able to chart snow drifting problems that would occur with the speed and direc- tion of various prtrvailng His findings, along with his recommendations for the placement of snow fen- cing along the two stret- ches of road, were forward- ed to the Town of Whitby Public Works Department where they will, at least in part, be impletnented this winter. Steve's project, while on view in Calgary at the Canada Wide Science Fair, was nominated by representatives from the Youth Science Fou ndatilln for one of 14 young Cana- dians science awards under the Canadian Awards for Excellence pro- gram. Just recently advised of his success in this competi- tion, Steve is now planning his five-day, all -expenses - paid trip to Vancouver from Oct. 8 to 12 where he will receive his award at the gala banquet nd presen- tation to be held at the Par. Pacific Hotel. Two days of sighseeing at Expo 86 will be included in his stay in British Columbia. Not content to rest on his laurels, Steve is studying calculus and fluid mechanics in preparation for improving and refining his Snow Control project for the 1987 Durham Region Science Fair. To Steve London, for his success in the world of science, congratulations and the best of luck in all future endeavours. Z I Im 'I Lwb, r'UJ4' wea. flet. 8. Imb Opinion a page for expression for you and us This Week In Review by Bob Watson It is difficult to get excited about restaurant and bar smoking bylaws being passed by local governments when we have a Soviet nuclear sub exploding off the coast of Ber- muda and two Soviet bombers being chased by Canadian fighter aircraft off our eastern coastline. Of course, those of us who know more about Canadian and Soviet defence than the average Canadian know that the penetration of Cana- dian jurisdiction by Soviet aircraft goes on every day of the year - but when did you hear our Prime Minister mention- ing this to the Soviet Union? This past week our federal government was so happy to sign a wheat agreement with the Soviet Union for the next five years while their representatives tried to persuade us to be less close to the United States. Our worry is about our federal leaders of government. Do they get enough infor- mation about other countries to make the right decisions? Are our civil servants knowledgeable enough to keep the PM informed? We are positive that Joe Clark is getting poor information on how to deal with South Africa. A press report says that the b26 million of South African sugar imports may be swit- ched to Cuba! Great! We go to the worst communist regime in North America. the one which has troops in Africa carry- ing out the work of the Soviet Union instead of South Africa? That is a foreign policy with which we don't agree. Back on the Metro scene, we believe that Metro Council should be putting up to date assessment into action before we get to the next taxation year. For too long• the newer areas of Metro, which includes a large part of Scarborough and North York, have been paying more than their share of taxes while older areas of the city of Toronto have been liv- ing on much cheaper taxes. It is all about the fact that a new house gets assessed at today's price, while the older proper- ty is assessed at its value many years back. Let's see some action, Metro Councillors! Canadianism Is The Best Ism For Canadians! About Naturopathy Dear Sirs I want to respond to vour rrcertt letter concerning naturopathy. The regulation of the health professions is currently being examined by the Health Professions Legislation Review. The Review developed nine criteria, all of which must be met to justify statutory regulation of a profession. The pur- pose of regulation is not to confer status on professional groups or to pass judgement on their professional contribu- tion to health care. The fundamental issue has been to determine which health care professions require statutory regulation in order to protect the public interest. On April 3. 1996, the Minister of Health. The Hon. Murray Elston, announced that when the planned new regulatory structure for the health professions is implemented it will not include naturopaths. The principal reason for this decision is that naturopathy is based on a philosophy of natural healing that makes it ex- tremely difficult to define standards of practice. Such stan- dards usually form the basis for any code of regulation. As a result, without such standards the continued regulation of naturopaths would not enhance protection of the public. Until the new regulatory structure is implemented naturopaths will continue to practice under their current governing body. Once the newlegislation is in place naturopaths will practice as an unregulated profession. I want to point out that this decision will not restrict the practice of naturopathy nor will it interfere with your right to make use of naturopathy. Thank you for raising this issue with me and for giving me this opportunity to communicate with you as your Member. Yours truly. Alvin Curling.

"I am delighted that the OHC board of directors is taking this initiative. This new OHC policy is in keeping with this government's commitment to improve services to victims of violence," said Mr. Curling. OHC Chairman David Greenspan said the OHC Board of Directors recently ap- proved new guidelines for giving top priority to battered women and their children in response to society's growing alarm at the number of incidents of violence that have been reported in the past few years. Munro Calls For Repeal Of Book Tariff The federal government's imposition of a 10 percent tariff on imported books and periodicals is a regressive policy which will punish Canadian book publishers, booksellers and consumers, Minister of Citizenship and Culture Lily Munro said recently. "It gives Canada the dubious distinc- tion of being the only civilized nation to tax reading, to tax ideas and the exchange of intellectual information and creativity," Dr. Munro told the federal -provincial - territorial ministers' conference in Calgary. "-Canadian.consumers and publishers in Ontario will bear the brunt of this tax, since 85 percent of the English language publishing sector is located there.., Dr. Munro said this tariff, imposed in retaliation against the American government's 35 percent duty on imported shakes and shingles, defies Ontario's stand on free trade and drags books and periodicals right to the centre of the free traide bargaining table. "The problem of this federal action," she explained, "is that Canadian consumers, book publishers and booksellers -- not the American government or American industry -- are the losers." Family Succession Seminar CCH Canadian Limited is sponsoring a one -day seminar on "Family Succession". to be held on Fri. Oct. 17th at the Old Mill in Toronto. The seminar speakers are profes- sionals with recognized expertise in their respective fields. For many family businesses the future depends upon an orderly succession.

Parents are faced with difficult decisions as to whether it would be in the best interest to sell the business or to transfer the business to the next generation. This seminar will focus on the various methods of structuring the transfer of a family business to the next generation.

Residents Lose First Round by Gay Abbate Residents of the Highland Creek area have lost the first round in their fight to keep their section of Meadowvale Rd. from becoming a busy thoroughfare. Last week, Scarborough's works and transportation committee adopted a consultant report which recommends that Meadowvale Rd. be con- nected at Highway 2A. It also recommends that Meadowvale be widened to four lanes plus turn lanes between Kingston Rd. and Lawson Rd. and calls for the construction of a full in- terchange at Meadowvale and the 401. Patrick Kehoe, speaking on behalf of the 350 member Meadowvale Area Concerned Associates, told the works and transporta- tion committee on Thurs- day night that the other road improvements sug- gested in the study should be implemented first and then the need for changes to Meadowvale re- evaluated before anything is done to Meadowvale. The residents, who op- pose the connection of Meadowvale, fear their present quiet. dead-end street will become another Port Union Rd. with Kingston Rd. traffic using it as a way of reaching the 401. The $80,000 study by Mar- shall Macklin Monaghan was undertaken last year after Scrborough staff recommended that Ellesmere Rd. east of Meadowvale be widened. The ensuing community opposition led to this study which looked at transporta- tion needs in the entire Highland Creek communi- ty. The study was funded jointly by the provincial, metro and Scarborough governments. Other recommendations contained in the report in- clude the removal of the ex- isting Lawson Rd. bridge and ramps to Highway 2A and the replacement with an at -grade signalized in- tersection, widening Port Union Rd. to four lanes bet- ween Lawrence and Highway 401, widening Sheppard Ave. to five lanes between Morningside and Twyn Rivers Dr. and im- proving the interchange at Morningside and 401.

Wells' Outline of History because its author was not a historian. Wells never claimed to be. He was primarily a novelist who was interested in history, researched it well and pro- cured a book that achieved and continues to hold the status of a standard reference book. Similarly, we suspect many will reject Emotions by June Callwood (Double- day) on the grounds that the authoress is not a psychologist, but rather a good writer with. an in- terest - almost a passion - in her subject. Worse still for many, she is a Cana- dian. Our opinion is that Emo- tions is an excellent work and might achieve hallmark status in time. It was originally publish- ed as Love, Hate, Fear, Anger and Other Lively Emotions (we remember reading excerpts from it in Maclean) and has now been splendidly revised and updated. To review its contents properly and adequately requires considerably more skill than is in the possession of this scribbler. Let us then quote from the Jacket. In Emotions you will find out "what they are and how they affect us, from the basic hates and fears of childhood to more sophisticated feelings that later govern our lives." What is more one can learn "how we can deal with the way we feel.'. Before leaving Emotions we wish to quote from tate chapter on Happiness. We've chosen this excerpt because it refers to Rebec- ca West, the mistress of H.G. Wells. ..Her ladder of pleasure began with food and wine, exercise and the physical act of love making, and rose to the practice of a beloved craft or art or science, a happy marriage and 'the service of valid ideas .' Well done Mrs. Frayne/ We intend to return to this book again and again for pleasure and help. We have at hand a most interesting paperback from Pan/Collins. It's titl- ed 1001 Ways To Be a Good Cook. It was first published in 1978 as The Craft of Cooking and has now been revised under the new title by its author Margaret Pat- terson. As should be the case with all good cook books, this is more than simply a collection of recipes; it is a virtual gazetteer of food preparation. Therein lies a bit of a rub. You see the references are all British and some re- quire clarification for North American readers. A stove for instance is refer- red to as a cooker, a griddle is a girdle and so on. Also, try as we might, we haven't yet been able to find what is meant by soused as in sous- ed herring. These are minor con- siderations; what is impor- tant is that this little volume must surely be a godsend to brides, par- ticularly those of British origin. My middle daughter has already put in her bid for it and she, like her -two sisters, is an excellent cook. Let's bear it for the sous- ed herring Sandy. ON RECORD: A friend just returned from Britain passes along the word that one of the more popular comedy television shows over there is something called Spit- ting Image and that The Chicken Song from it has been the biggest selling single of the year. We have the album Spit- ting Image (Virgin Records) and pass along some of the lyrics. Hold a chicken in the air. Stick a deckchair up your nose. buy a jumbo jet, and then bury all your clothes. Uh. huh. FASHION NOTES: We're really not too sure what to make of this next item but we make so bold as to pass it on for your con- sideration. This Friday The Dia- mond ( 410 Sherbourne) is presenting an evening of crime and more or less high fashion called Crime in Fashion.

Even if one is in disagreement, it must be conceded that autumn has to be better than the execrable summer of '86 and we suggest that the best way to enjoy it is attendance at a Fall Fair.

I've done more travelling after my accident than I did before." says Gary. "I decided that if it was there 1 was going to go for it and why not''. ** Unfortunately not everyone is as enter- prising as Gary - "A lot of disabled people look forward to nothing more than sitting in their apartment for 365 days a year." says Debbie Reynolds, president of Pro- fessionally Assisted Travel for the Handicapped (PATH). "Partly that's due to a lack of confidence. Many people who are physically challenged don't think that they can cope with the has- sle of travelling. But more often than not it's the lack of proper facilities. From a disabled person's point of view, travelling can be a nightmare... As estimated one in seven Canadians is classified by Statistics Canada as being disabled in some way but, says Deb- bie Reynolds, despite the fact that so many people fall into that category, not much is done to help them. "Travel agents are often reluctant to handle travel arrangements for disabled people because they don't have the expertise to deter- mine exactly what they need. After all. the re- quirements of a diabetic traveller are very different from a person confined to a wheelchair." "Moreover.- she con- tinues. "the travel guides which list hotels and restaurants with special facilities are notoriously in- accurate, mainly because they're written by able bodied people who simply don't appreciate the pro- blems that disabled travellers face."

Members get access to this com- puterized information via a toll-free number from anywhere in Canada or the U.S. The Club was conceived by Gale, a Canadian, who got "sick and tired" of los- ing 30% on his Canadian dollar every time he visited Florida. "Though Canadians sometimes forget it, there are hundreds of businesses in the U.S. offering good discounts to us - this club merely coordinates all of them into one publication," he said. "From the figures we've assembled so far, we expect the club will stimulate and increase the already massive spending impact Canadians have on the Florida economy in particular and the U.S. economy in general."

They are encouraging employees to lose weight, an idea that is proving to benefit both employees and customers. Over 5,000 overweight Canadians employed by some 80 major corpora- tions are shedding un- wanted, health -damaging excess poundage through voluntary enrolment in of- fice weight loss programs. Air Canada, Wardair and Confederation Life are typical of major Ontario firms making a long-term investment in employee health by encouraging them to take part in Weight Watchers' unique 'At Work' program. "It fits the needs of busy workers who have little time," says Marie Lud- wick, Weight Watchers Area Director for Southern Ontario, the Maritimes and Newfoundland. "During the six to ten - week programs, office peo- ple learn how to cope with job-related eating pro- blem. They find out how to manage on. -the -job stress and deal with food -related events such as lunch and coffee breaks,'* she says.

Employees at Air Canada, for instance, can expect the company to reimburse them for half the $85 cost of their 10 -week program if they reach their goal weight and keep it off for at least 90 days. Other incentives, such as provision of a meeting room, is often all the push that is needed. "We see a lot of `coming together' during the `At Work' ses- sions," says Gordon Killen, "When employees lose weight properly, they look better and they feel better. The effects ripple right out to benefit our customers," he adds. "Shared experience is important to participants," claims Wardair spokesman Deborah Adams. "We operate at a hectic pace. The stress can push anyone into wanting a quick snack or eating on the run.

In actuality, the Chamber of Commerce is just a new name for the six year old Scarborough Business Association. The inaugual meeting of the new group was held on September 9. According to Scar- borough's economic development commis- sioner, John Morand, hav- ing the SBA change its name and become a part of the international chamber movement will "give them an even stronger voice pro- vincially and nationally." Over the years, the SBA has been involved in local and provincial issues of in- terest to its members such as helping to revise the ci- ty's property standards by- law. When the SSA speaks out now under its new name, it will have more clout. The impact of being a chamber of commerce was felt even before the SBA of- ficially was granted its new status. It gained some 200 new members just by an- nouncing it was going to become a chamber. Small Business Marketing Seminar The advantage of developing a marketing plan in a small business will be highlighted at a seminar at Queen's Park on Oct. 14. "The Small Business Marketing Seminar is designed for small business owners and those in- terested in small-business start-up,"' said Rick Fer- raro, small business ad- vocate and parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Industry, Trade and Technology. "A marketing plan is essential to the sur- vival of a new small business." The seminar will take place in the St - Clair i Thames t.Clair;'Thames Room, Mac- donald Block, 900 Bay St., from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Admis- sion is free. Pre- registration is required. Paul Homer of the ministry's small business advice and counsel section will discuss the basic framework and manage- ment of a marketing plan. To register and for fur- ther information, contact the Small Business Hotline, toll-free, 1.800-387-6142. $330,500 For Scarborough Firm Pauline Browes, M.P.

Howden Group Canada Ltd., will receive a $330,500 repayable con tribution under the federal government's industrial and regional development program t IRDPI. Tibur Howden Inc. will use the funds towards the estimated $1.3 million cosl of developing a full-scale pilot plant of a plasma ex. tended arc reactor i Pear i system, designed to pro- cess electric arc furnace dust which steel mills now dispose of in controlled land -fill sites. A prototype has been suc- cessfully constructed at a laboratory at the Universi- ty of Toronto. The device entails the treatment of hazardous dust, cmverting it to metallic lead, zinc and iron plus and environmentally -inert residue.

Ontario Riding Last week, all Members of Parliament returned to Ot- tawa for the opening of Parliament. It was quite an eventful week. as for the fust time in history, a new Speaker of the House of Commons was elected. rather than being ap- pointed by the Prime Minister. After voting for almost eleven hours, the Hon. John Fraser, Member of Parliament for Vancouver South was formally led to the Speaker's Chair by the previous Speaker. the Hon. John Bosley. to assume the robe as Speaker of the House of Commons. The following day. tit. Hon. her Excellency the Governor General Jeanne Sauve. arrived on Parliament Hill to read the Speech from the Throne. This occasion marked the beghnning of a new session in Parliament, and over the next two wedcs, I would like to outline some of the highlights from the Throne Speech which I think are important. The Government emphasized it's commitment to con- tinued economic renewal for Canada, and outlined four principles it intends to follow to achieve this objective: 1) reduce growth in the national defuit -, 2) continue year-to- year reductions in the deficit: 3)ensure yearly declines in government spending: 4) ensure that the greater part of this progress is gained through effective spending restraint. The government will continue to give serious considera- tion to tax reform, with fairness being our main concern and resulting in a simpler tax system. Our objective will be to lower tax rates and to reduce government reliance on personal income tax PARKS & RECREATION e,* Jnr 4 A t Ages: 3 - 6 years DATE: October 30th TIME: 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. PLACE: Eastshore Community Centre COST: $2.00 i J Tickets 3 Information 683.2760 A national forum on post- secondary education was proposed by the govern- ment, reaffirming our com- mitment to support this system with the co- operation and assistance of the provinces. We realize that an effort must be made to stimulate increas- ed technological develop- ment in Canada, and to do this, we must encourage co-operation between the universities and the private sector in research and development. A new four -point pro- gram was announced to en- sure that support for science. technology and education is clearly defined in the national interest.

Fitness: something that no one else can do for you. ... .... ... ... .. .. .. .. ........:V}.... ............ -.-.. Report from Queen's ` Park By George Ashe. MPP Durham West ::.................................... ... .... CABINET FINANCES - CHAOS! It's a disgrace! A report written by former Lieutenant Governor John Aird has revealed that six members of David Peterson's Cabinet failed to report all their financial holdings while nine others were in technical breach of con- flict of interest guidelines. Although Aird concluded that no Minister has personally benefitted from not obeying conflict of interest guidelines, public confidence in the integrity of Ontario's cabinet has been shaken. Members of Cabinet have many responsibilities. I know I have been there. However, our political system demands that Cabinet Ministers be aware of the potential of conflict of interest to ensure that their decisions are not influenced by any thought of personal gain. Look at Rene Fontaine, for example. Here a Minister tried to straddle his duty to the Province while continuing to serve his private financial concerns. This gave at least the appearance of a Minister setting policy that would benefit his own pocketbook. Premier Peterson said that a blind trust would be suffi- cient to protect a Minister from any potential conflict of in- terest. In fact he assured the Legislature in January that "everything was as it should be". Do you think a family member operating a so called blind trust is appropriate? I do not! The resignations of both Fontaine and Caplan, as well as the findings of the Aird Report, prove Peterson either misunderstood or mismanaged the whole conflict of in- terest question. His incompetence has embarrassed his en- tire cabinet and the institution. Aird reeomcnerds that Cabinet Ministers disclose public- ly all their financial holdings and abstain from day -today contact with those holdings as well as involvement in Cabinet decisions that could be connected with their private interests. David Peterson has suggested that Ontario needs a con- flict of interest law. rather than guidelines. But since Peter- son was incapable of enforcing conflict of interest guidelines. lhoo can be be trusted to enforce a conflict of in- terest law? Under Premier William Davis, guidelines were an effec- tive guarantee of the integrity of Cabinet, and individual Cabinet Ministers because they were enforced. When David Peteram took power be said he was @Dmg to toughen the conflict of interest gmdd nes. Aird discovered that only six Members of the Peterson Cabinet actually obeyed even these weakened guidelines. All Peterson has achieved is confusion and the resignation of two of his Cabinet Ministers. The first time in our History that two Ministers have been forced to resign during one Legislative Session. John Aird's report has focussed public attention an how fragile the integrity of otr system of government can be. I hope this report will result in adequate enforcement of measures to protect Cabinet Ministers, and the public, from conflict of interest situations. Public confidence must be restored in the ability of the Ontario Government to make decisions independent of the personal financial considerations of individual Members of Cabinet. So far, David Peterson has proved himself incapable of either establishing workable guidelines or ensuring their enforcement. for the future of Canada and our economy, as our children and their education is our future. Next week, I will continue to expand on the major themes of the Throe Speech.
