Bread dough contains a lot of sugar. To make a good, light bread it is necessary to ferment the sugar. Yeast, which is a simple living plant, is the agent which can fer- ment sugar. When this fermentation occurs• carbonic acid gas is formed. While some of the gas escapes, much of it is caught in the dough in the form of bubbles. These bubbles cause the dough to rise. The holes seen in the bread after it has been baked are the little pockets where the carbonic acid gas was captured in the dough. Q. How does a metal detector work? A. The essential function of a metal detector is the transmitting and deceiving of radio waves. With the use of an antenna, radio waves are projected to the ground. When the waves come in contact with a metal object, the object absorbs some of the waves and sends them back to the detector, which has a receiving circuit. When this circuit receives the radio waves, it amplifies them to create an audible signal. The signal alerts the user to the presence of a metal object. +1:.`r�••= :r:sem'.......... � •' � ti :•:• :.............................. This space could be yours for just $13.00 per week year.

It was noted that normaliz- ed (weather and area dif- ferences eliminated) energy use for the 1985-86 year has dropped by 2.15% from the previous year. Although 45 new portables were added to the board's total, overall actual energy use dropped by 1.5% reduc- ing last year's actual from 101,905,454 to this year's ac- tual of 100,360,702 kwhrs.

Nov, 12,14M' Opinion a page for expression for you and us Optimism Is Best by Bob Watson Whether we are speaking about individuals or the country as a whole• it is definitely better to have an optimistic outlook on life than a pessimistic one. However, as we pass Nov. 11th and remember the sacrifices of our dead, we find our newspapers full of bad news. Besides the death of King Clancy, we have Mayor Jean Drapeau retiring from his job, President Reagan has his feet cut off by a Democratic majority in the two houses of government, the United Way is short $10 million to reach its target and a Canadian, Paul Watson, seems to be proud that his organization has sunk two whalers in Iceland. We could find more bad news if we wished. There is the decision of our Prime Minister to put a CF -18 contract into the hands of a Montreal company rather than the low bid- der in Winnipeg. Then there are still people complaining about the United States Star Wars program, which is really about the defence of North America from any Soviet offensive of the future. Surely Canadians should be happy to back the USA on this - after all we don't pay a cent for this defence system and we are in the way of the two giants on the map! But as the Mulroney government can point out, our unemployment rate has dropped, more Canadians are at work, the bank prime rate is down and therefore is helping more people buy homes and this is definitely making the economy better. We have learned that when house and car sales are up. the economy is in good shape. So despite all the bad news, let's look at the bright side of life. We Canadians live on the best piece of real estate in the world. We are lucky people - so enjoy our beautiful country and watch our politicians to make sure they don't screw up the economv. Just A Suggestion Have you drivers ever noticed the high, aggravating light beams coming from some cars and trucks these days" We understood that vehicles had to travel with lights whose beams hit the road a certain distance ahead - not into the eyes of oncoming drivers. We suspect that the police fares are so busy with their sneaky radar traps that they haven't time for these hazardous factors of driving" Attention Ms. Fish Dear Editor: It is really a joke to read of Ms Fish's concerns about in- formation available to the public from driver owner registrations. It is a fact that the present system was. after similar complaints and concerns, authorized by her party while in power. Is it not amazing how defeat brings common sense to a political party. Why did the Tory party not reform this practice when it was in power? The answer is obvious. Tory members will ignore com- mon sense, common decency. and common law to defeat the Liberals. 1, too, wish the early demise of the idiot Liberals in hope that the people of Ontario may have a future not ruined by Peterson et al. I cannot, however, support this type of cheap shot by Con- servative MPP.. Please Ms. Fish and others, do not debase your and riy principles by stupid, repeated challenges for the benefit of the media. These tactics weaken the real and legitimate reforms needed in law. I reaHv don't care that these reforms may annoy Conservative party supporters. In my view you have a mandate and, will benefit from real reforms whether they be corrections of your party's past mistakes or resistance to the Liberal's proposals. But don't tn• to get re-elected by fighting the very policies your party stuck the public with isorry re grammar P. You are more to blame for licence woes than the Liberals Damn it hurts to say that i . Ms. Fish, your party has a credible platform. please don't destroy it with these childish tactics. All Conser- vatives will pay the price for your cheap shot at personal publicity. four~ trul% Bert Daddy P.S. Until I read your views. Ms. Fish I intended to vote Conservative. I must now reconsider. I do not wish to sup- port a party that endorses idiots and or publicity seekers. Which one are you. Ms. Fish? (If you have the guts to take a stand - a new view for you of course. PICKERING'.

Recycling Week also gives communities. schools. municipal offices, recycling operators, and groups such as scouts and nature clubs a chance to pian projects and focus events around a recycling theme. Seventy-two Ontario communities already have recycl- ing programs which are financed by local government, in- dustry and the environment ministry. Sixty percent of On- tarians live in communities where curbside collection of one or more recyclable materials occurs. Art Exhibit And Sale The Ramada Renaissance Hotel and six Toronto artists are hosting an exhibition and sale of art works on Nov. 14,15 and 16. Featured artists are: Sharon Ellis, Peter Lee, Ann Robertson, Patricia Stewart, Margaret Wade and Burt Winters. Those attending the show will have the opportuni- ty of making a donation to the Star Santa Claus Fund and thus being eligible to win one of two dinners for two at the Ramada Renaissance Hotel, a piece of blown glass by Peter Lee or a piece of Ann Robertson's pottery. The Man In Motion Rick Hansen, The Man In Motion, will be w•heehng through over 180 cities and towns in Ontario beginning Oct. 24 as he completes his historic journey around the world. While Rick has wheeled through four continents and 33 countries, he has taken a very special message to able and disabled people: to make the world aware of the potential of disabled people, and to raise funds for spinal cord research, rehabilitation and wheelchair sport. "I believe one day the wheelchair will be a thing of the past," says Rick. "I think that we will find the key to repair spinal cord injuries and disorders." SIDS Kills Most Many people are surprised to learn that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, commonly called SIDS or "crib death", is the leading single cause of death in Canada for babies bet- ween one week and one year of age. It takes the life of about one baby for every 500 born. This is more than the infant deaths from cystic fibrosis, cancer, heart disease, or ac- cidents combined. We do not know the exact cause of SIDS yet. In our present state of knowledge, SIDS cannot be predicted nor prevented. The Canadian Foundation for the study of Infant Deaths, the "SIDS Foundation". is holding its annual National Babv's Breath Conference on November 14, 15, and 16, at the Viscount Hotel in North York. Up Transfer Payments Ontario Municipal Affairs Minister Bernard Grand - maitre last week said municipalities will receive transfer payments totalling $3.6 billion during 1987 — an increase of five percent over 1986. "The resurgence in Ontario's economy allows the government to increase provincial transfers to municipalities above the level of inflation," he said. DOWN AT THE HEELS If you were down at the heels in July 1986, there was no reason to be down in the mouth, since the supply of new shoes was large. According to Statistics Canada, Canadian manufacturers produced 2,845,525 pairs of footwear that month, an increase of 3.5 percent over July 1585. Bob's Notes Smoke Free Responding to the increasing demand for smoke-free workplaces, The Lung Association, Metro Toronto and York Region, is presenting a one day seminar on Wed. Nov. Sth at the World Trade Centre. Entitled "Freedom from Smoking at Work", the seminar will offer corporate representatives everything they need to initiate company policies on non smoking with the subsequent healthier lifestyle. While stroking is the leading preventable cause of death in Canada, it is also an economic issue. Smoking employees are absent from work M% to 45% more than non-smokers. Smokers also use health care facilities 50% more than non- smokers. Grants For Amateur Sports Two amateur sports will get a boost from Best Ever On- tario grants totalling $32,000 John Eakins. Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation has announced. The Canadian Amateur Swimming Association, Ontario Section, will receive $20,000 for the Esso Swim Canada program, and the Ontario Five -Pin Bowling Association's OV Sun Bowl Tour- nament has been granted $12,000. Browes Says Refugee Law Needs Change "For the sake of legitimate refugees all over the world, and for the sake of our respected reputation as a nation that cares. we need to change our system of refugee determina- tion", Pauline Browes, M.P. for Scarborough Centre. told M.P.s in the House of Commons on Oct- 6th. Browes added that, ..Canadians have become frustrated with a refugee policy that seems to reward greed instead of need." Canada's refugee determination system is based largely on the United Nation's Convention on refugee status. However, upon arrival in Canada virtually any im- migrant can claim refugee status and then wait up to several years before the case is reviewed by the Refugee Status Advisory Board. During the review process, the government reserves the right to deport any refugee claimant who has a criminal background. In addition, any claimant who is unable to fit into Canadian society or who does not have legitimate grounds for refugee determination will be refused entry in- to Canada. In the Throne Speech, the government committed itself to change the refugee determination process. "I join with millions of Canadians in welcorning the announcement in the Speech from the Throne that action will be taken and in applauding the resolve of the Minister of State for Imumigra- tion to prosecute those who break our immigration laws," commented Browes. Health Care Study The comprehensive study of the provision of health care in Ontario will get underway within two weeks, Premier David Peterson has announced. Dr. John Evans, former president of the Unversity of Toronto, and a prominent physician and educator, will chair the 10 -member Ontario Health Review Panel and report back to the premier not later than the summer of 1987 with the findings of the first phase of the study. The panel will examine such issues as: how to best maintain the quality and accessibility of health services; how to stimulate greater attention to health pro- motion and disease prevention; the growth of the elderly population and its impact on the system; how to make ef- fective and economical use of health resources; the emergence of high technology; and health manpower and changing patterns of health services.

INCOME TAX REFORM The Hon. Michael Wilson, Minister of Finance, has his of- ticials studying tax reform options which should be submit- ted to Parliament in the near future. One of their objectives will be reducing the government's reliance on personal income tax for so much of its revenue. More of the tax burden will be shifted to corporate income tax and a possible new tax. This possible new tax has been called the Business Transfer Tax. The BTT should replace the federal excise or sales tax. Mr. Wilson has announced that the guidelines of his tax reform study will include making income tax returns simpler. A second standard will be that our tax system will become fairer. Third, the tax system will be made more ef- ficient. BETTER TIMES According to the Economic Cantil of Canada, better times are ahead for most Canadians. The council predicts economic growth of 3% per year over the next five years. It also foresees greater growth in the 1990's. The council an- ticipates gradually falling unemployment, lower inflation and rising purchasing power. WOMEN SOLDIERS More jobs for women are now open m the Canadian Arm- ed Forces. Accessible to women soldiers are 75% of the ap- pointments in the C.A.F. These include pilots, air navigators, flight engineers, air crew, transport, search and rescue and army weapons technicians. The Canadian Armed Forces is now second only to the United States among NATO countries, in the proportion of warren in the armed forces. CoContinuod MMv"tt+ DIAEJ From Page 4 WED.

Women Better At Aging Betty Friedan thinks women are better suited biological- ly for old age than men but worsen tend to be more disad- vantaged economically and legally. Fnedan was one of three keynote speakers at Age-itation, a symposium on aging. attitudes and actions, sponsored by the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture for librarians, library trustees and other library personnel. Already well known for her books The Femine Mystique, It Changed My Life and The Second Stage, Friedan is currently working on a book about aging, The Fountain of Age. $568.9 Million For Roads Provincial contributions for municipal road construction and maintenance will be increased to $568.9 million next year, Ontario Minister of Transportation and Communica- tions Ed Fulton said last week. "ltnis represents a 4.6 percent increase," said Fulton. "In addition, my ministry will retain its 530 -million Municipal Improvement Fund to provide funding for top -priority municipal road projects," added Fulton. System For Driver Record Request In response to recent concerns over access to driver and vehicle information, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications will introduce a revised, stricter system, Minister Ed Fulton said last week. "Those who request information will now have to provide their name and address and produce confirming identifica- tion, such as a driver's licence, and give the reason for the search, in addition to the regular $5 fee," Fulton said. "MTC staff will monitor the nature of the requests for a 30 -day period to determine if any further changes to policy are needed," added Fulton. Hospital and Public Health Unit Allocations In- creased Provincial spending for operating costs of Ontario hospitals will increase overall by 7.4 percent while funding for the 43 public health units across the province will rise by 6.8 percent for 1967-88, Health Minister Murray Elston has announced. All Ontario hospitals will receive a four percent increase, promised in 1986. In addition, the budget increase allotted to the ministry will give a further 3.4 percent for growth in hospital programs. These increases, amounting to $345 million, will bring total ministry spending on hospitals to approximately $5 billion.

For those who don't -know, Jem is a hot new fashion doll and the star of a top-rated animated television series which airs Saturday mornings. Music company executive by day and rock star by night. Jem is one of the most exciting female cartoon characters to come along in years. It's no wonder that Brian and millions of kids like him know the Jem Theme Song by heart. Brian entered the contest earlier this spring by call- ing a toll free number and singing the Jem Theme Song. His audition was recorded and entered in the nation-wide contest. Brian's winning rendi- tion earned him one of three first prizes of a colour television, video cassette player and complete Jem video library (worth about $1,0001. Search For Adult Hockey Players The search is on for adult hockey players that want to do something really dif- ferent. The Superstars hockey club, based in Win- nipeg. is looking for adult players to participate in a series of no -contact exhibi- tion friendship games in Finland and Sweden. Team manager, Dave Spnngett. has organized a number of tours for Win- nipeg teams to Europe over the past four seasons, and now has widened his search to include all the provinces. Springett says "'Rhe cost is very reasonable and it of- fers something that most players never get the chance to do - play hockey in Europe against Euro- peans Player's Ch Richard Spenard of Shannonville, (hut. made the 1986 Player's Challenge Series his personal gold mine, winning x33,070 and the Player's Cup in the eight -race series for General Motors of Canada showroom stock Chevrolet IROC-Z Camharos and Pon- tiac Tram -Am Firebirds.

Buck drove a Roy Foss Firebird while Lockhart's Camaro was sponsored by Bob Johnston But it isn't all hockey. This is a great opportunity to see all the cultural sights that Scandinavia has to of- fer as well as the shopping and exciting nightlife. All this combines to make a trip that the players will never forget.

Bill Watt's World ON STAGE: Our autumn hasn't been notably nice and winter is inescapable. Yet, at the Royal Alex - and paraphrasing Oscar Hammerstein . it might well be Spring. The Stratford Festival produc- tion of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado is in current residence there and it is just a tonic, a spring tonic, for the blahs. Over the yem we have viewed seeming innumerable p of The Mikado but those that linger mast pleasurably in memory are those of the D'Oyly Carte, the Canadian Opera Company and this current presentation of the Mir- vishes and Brian MacDonald Pro- ductiors. Comparisons might well be odious but they are also inevitable and perhaps we can be forgiven for attempting stratification of the three. D'Oyly Carte productions are, by mandate, so stylized as to be reminiscent of kabuki. That's all very nice but one is tempted or distracted to assess technique rather than content .. rather like comparing the English tango to the Latin American. The C.O.C. production presents truly magnificent voices but one is inclined to bear the voices rather than what they are declaiming. Now, this current production seems to us to be free of such distractions and happily filled with the jot and gayety originally in- tended by the authors. It would not be fair for us to pro- claim which of the three produc- tions is the best but we believe this Stratford production is the most enjoyable though we are prepared to confess to subjectivity. G & S purists might take excep- tion to the updating and regionalization of the topical songs ( I've got a little list et al) but we suggest that Gilbert's shade is delighted. Likewise, Mr. Mac - Donald's choreography might smack a little of Minsky but Sullivan's memory is not sullied by it. The costumes are bright and cheery, the set design and lighting sumptously simple. All come together as a superb setting rather than frontispiece. Now, to the performers. Space will not permit mention of the en- tire cast individually though one wishes it were possible. In fact we are hard p mssed to do justice to all of the principals but let urs try. John Keane is Nand -Poo to a T. He has a lovely sweet voice used quite effectively but more than that he has captured the comedic spirit of the role. N -P is essentially a twit and Mr. Keane so Portray-- him ortrayshim without ever losing the roman- tic ardour so necessary to the role. Marie Baran as Yum -Yum is demure yet coquettish, innocent but worldly, noble but self serving (that's not a reference Marie to the time when we joined forces to serve tables at Shopsy's) and, above all else a truly foie singer. We were much caught by the voice and elan of Karen Wood as her sister P itti-Sing. Here is a Young lady who rather reminds one of Cass Daley but she has a much better voice and is downright sexy. Eric Donkin is Ko -Ko and pro- perly mil cs the role of all its com- edic value while still singing more than passably well. Avo Kittask plays the title role and plays it well. It's not his fault that he has been made up, un- consciously we're sure, to look like the late Oliver Hardy. But where was Stan laurel? Many kudos to Arlene Meadows as the surprisingly vulnerable Katisha. The Mikado is an ensemble Pro- duction and "stars", as such, should not be present. That said, let us pin the mantle of stardom on Richard McMillan as Poob-Bah. Given apparent free nein by direc- tor MacDonald, he attacks the role in a manner that is at once broad and yet restrained rather as if it was intended for Charlie Chase cloned with Bobby Clark. Students of the theatre will know what we mean and, for those who don't, it doesn't really matter. What mat- ters is that the gentleman is hilarious. The Mikado at the Royal Alex must surely be considered a must attraction. it's here until Dec. 13th but get your tickets now while and if they are still available. IN THE CLUBS: This week at the Imperial Room it's Tanya Tucker, the Texas Tor- nado and next week it's Rita Coolidge. What can we say? Both are fine singer -entertainers; both are well worth one's custom. We must say however, how much we enjoy the latter day entertain- ment policy of the Imperial Room. As an individual we don't ahvays pre unreservedly for all the at- tractions but it has to be admitted that at one time or another there is something for everyone. The Misses Tucker and Coolidge have followed the smooth dance rhythms of Moxie Whitney and they in turn will be followed by The Turtles. ON SCREEN: Tomhorrow evening at the Eglin- ton glio-ton Theatre, The Mission will have its Ontario premiere with proceeds going to three major works of to.. day's Canadian Jesuits. It was voted best picture at the 1996 Can- nes ao-nes Festival and stars Robert De Niro and Jemmy Irons. We saw The Mission at an ad- vance screening and will not com- ment on the acting performances of these two men; they are self evi- dent and each viewer must make a determination. We offer the hint though, that one should watch for Jesuit Daniel Barigan. ON RECORD: All right then, you missed last Sunday's sold out Concert Hall engagement by Iggy Pop- You might consider his fust album in four years. It's called Blab, Blah, Blab and it's on A & M. It's surely not for us to review it as we once again concede our lack of appreciation for most Rock. Still, we'd be less than remiss if we didn't quote some of the lyrics from the title song. Johnny can't read Blah Blah Blah I can't see Blah Blah Blah Tuna on white Gums all night Blah Blah Blah One wonders if Iggy Pop realizes that the Gershwins have a song titl- ed the same with clever lyrics, not banal. One wonders also if he ON CANVAS: Do try to view the paintings of Manfred Heine-Baux. We were pleased to accept a recent invita- tion to an exhibition of his works at the Sheraton Centre and were quite delighted by them. He paints with a bold yet disciplined tone on tone approach that is quite winning. We can best describe his work by suggesting that it combines the vividness of a VanGogh with the pastorality of a Gauguin. Don't take our word; go see for yourself. 'Wed.

The goal of YAY is to match volunteers ages 16 to 2D with younger children aged 6 to 12 who are ex- periencing some emo- tional, behavioural or social adjustment dif- ficulties. The relationship is as a big brother or sister. The benefits to volunteers are many. Besides learning more about themselves, testing out areas of interest and receiving experience and training for future careers, they have fun, help a child in need and receive references for college or jobs - All that is expected of volunteers is that they be responsible, dependable and commited. YAY would require a one year's com- mitment to spend three bourn per week with their junior youth after school, evenings or weekends. YAY volunteers must be between the ages of 16 and 20 years, reside in Scar- borough and enjoy the challenge of working with children. Volunteers can do ac- tivities they both enjoy such as bicycling, hiking, skating, going to the park, the library, the zoo, the science centre, etc. YAY volunteers will get orientation and training by professional social wokers and have access to a YAY social worker seven days a week. To find out more about YAY call 265-38M. LEARN JQ WELD at "'CANADA'S OLDEST WELDING SCHOOL" We teach all types of welding, specializing in pipe and govemrnent testing."

Davis also pointed out that the $163 million to be spent on the extension of full funding to Roman Catholic secondary schools only amounts to the normal operating grants they will receive under Bill 30. "As of January 1, 1987, the public school boards in this province will lose $200 million when local assess- ment transfers to the separate school system under Bill 30. Yet the government has not provid- ed those boards with any economic cushion against this loss," Davis claimed. Taylor Says People Are Shocked At Disregard Public observers were shocked at the disregard ,the Scarborough Works and Transportation Com- mittee gave to recommen- dations made by the local community associations, their spokesmen, and Alderman John Mcakie says W.B. Taylor, of the Meadowvale Area Con- cerned Associates. From meetings and door- to•door surveys the only traffic concerns voiced relate to Highland Creek Village and to the increase in east, west traffic at peak times on 401 between Port Union Interchange and Morningside, when cars take alternate routes through local roads such as Lawson, Kingston and 2A. In Its letter of October 2nd the Minister of Transport, Ed Fulton, recognizes the concerns and says that his depart- ment is investigating im- provements to the Port Union Interchange as well as the widening of Highway 401. Mr. Taylor points out that the Highland Creek Area Transportation Study assumes that opening Meadowvale and enrcotaag- ing West Rouge traffic to funnel through the Centen- nial Community and north through the Highland Creek Community to the highway would be the best solution. Residents in all three communities prefer to have already -designated arterial widening of 40improved; 1 and n- provernent of Port Union intersection and Port Union Road first, to establish external traffic flow. he points out. No Deal At Council by Gay Abbate Scarborough Council meetings are going to start at 10 in the morning instead of 2 in the afternoon in an attempt to keep delega- Uonns from having to wait too long to be heard. An earlier starting time is one of the ways council members carne up with at a day -long meeting held last Friday at the Guild Inn. Council also agreed to restrict the amount of time council rmembers can have for speaking and asking questions. Mayor Gra Hams corn- meyted afterwards that the meeting went well even though it may not change council meetings at all. Harris arranged the meeting after receiving complaints from developers about having their lawyers and con- sultants sin mg around nd for haus waiting for their item to come up on the agenda. While some council members questioned the value of the meeting they were in general agreement that it was worth while to air their gripes. Council also decided to continue allowing Scar- borough Cable to televise meetings even though several politicians com- plained about some members who play to the Alderman Bob Sanders urged council members to show more decorum if the meetings continue to be televised. He said he has received comments from constituents who have seen the meetings on television and have called the politi- cians "yo-yo's" because of their behaviour.

Several key pieces of legislation command immediate at- tention. In housing, the Residential Rent Regulations Act (Bill 51) is before the Resources Development Committee at Queen's Park.

Pay equity legislation for the private and the broader public sectors will be introduced in the fall session of the lature by the Attorney General and Minister Respm- sible for Women's Issues, Ian Scott. Legislation for the public sector was introduced earlier this year by Labour Minister Biu Wrye.

'Yes, that Newfoundland, the one that entered Confederation Jast, the one that's the butt of all those jokes, the one that's famous for quaintness and screech and not a lot else. For it is in Newfoundland and Labrador that a royal commis- sion has struck a nerve that could turn this perennial have- not province into an example for the rest of Canada. The commission, chaired by Douglas House, spent almost two years probing the province's massive unemployment rate which now stands at 21 per cent overall and 33 per cent for young people, more than 9 per ant higher than in any other province. And it emerged with two basic themes which, if anyone listens. will help the province break from the past and prepare for the future.

Second, the report recom- mends that the road to econom- ic strength for Newfoundland travels not through massive industrialization, not even through exploiting its oil and gas potential. Rather, the province's best hope for an economic turn- around depends on developing a new vision for itself as a society which promotes community de- velopment through the en- couragement of small business.

Acapulco Is A Beautiful Place Acapulco's fame as an in- terantianal beach resort is legendary, and in terms of value it has flow become a bargain as well. Your first glimpse of Acapulco will take your breath away: for this is surely one of the world's most strikingly beautiful cities.

Fronting the Pacific Ocean, the bay is like a necklace proudly flaunting its jewels - over 300 sparkl- ing hotels and resorts, restaurants, glittering nightclubs and action - packed discos. The weather is perfect with its sun -drenched tropical climate. The waters are warm, the days are relaxed and the nights are lively and romtantic highlighted by uncommonly spectacular sunsets. Acapulco offers everything for the active vacationer. Many claim that waterskiing was in- vented in Acapulco, but there's no question that this is a w•atersports haven, with skin diving, snorkell- ing, parasailing and ex- cellent swimming. Deep-sea charter boats are available with fishing for marlin, tuna, sailfish and barracuda. Shopping offers endless possibilities in Acapulco's smart boutiques, par- ticularly for beautiful resort wear. You can watch the daredevil divas plunge from La Quebrada's 130 -foot height, or ex- perience the bullfights near Caleta Beach. Evenings in Acapulco are lively, at action -packed ruglispots like Baby 'O and Baccaccio's, or romantic in quiet settings where the sounds of the tropical night and a lilting guitar mingle with those of the ocean's rolling surf. Acapulco's action strip is the Costera Miguel Aleman, the avenue which skirts the deep blue waters of Acapulco Bay. And here you'll find the inexpensive Embassy Hotel, with 150 room,, providing accom- modation in a perfect loca- tion, near some of Acapulco's most popular nightclubs.

UNREALISTIC LEGISLATIVE AGENDA! The Liberal Government has attempted to pack the Thanksgiving to Christmas agenda so tight that a bill would have to be passed every 1-112 hours in order to complete their legislative agenda. Quantity is not necessarily quality! Considering the sensitive balance of interests in the minority legislature, and the fact that in the last session, the liberals got 59 bills through the House. it is difficult to see how this agenda can be followed. The last PC minority government, by comparison, was able to have a total of 84 bills passed in 1980,115 hills passed in 1979 and 106 bills passed in 1978. Many bills brought forward by the Liberals have been in- adequate. ill conceived, aid; or not in the best interest of Ontarians. Bills such as pay equity and rent review require major amendments and revisions. These are necessary steps - that take more than 1-1.'2 hours. But the Liberal Government is unhappy that the session is not moving along as quickly and as smoothly as it had ..Dreamed.. or planned Premier Peterson said he sees "slowdowns and wasting time on bells and procedural things... But to date the only extended bell -ringing -stopping Horse business while the members are called for a vote - occurred when David Cooke, the Liberal Chairman of the legislative committee that studied free trade, gave an inaccurate account of the committee's report. The record had to be corrected by both opposition parties. The job of an oppostion party is to hold the govern- ment accountable; ques- tion the government on behalf of its citumns and make recommendations to allow for more workable legislation. This does take time. If the government feels that the opposition is get- ting in the way - not alkrw- ing it to do what it wants, then perhaps it should Find another jurisdiction to govern - one that would ac- cept a dictatorship. I had the pleasure last week to attend at the in- vestiture of the Ontario Medal for Firefighter's Bravery and the Ontario Medal for Police Bravery ceremony, reception and dinner. Among other recipients was a local resident, Con- stable John Grima of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force. Constable Grima is a resident of Pickering. I know I speak on behalf of all of you in congratulating him for his act of Bravery and wishing him well in his career. Well done! Censorship And Pornography South Central District of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Association of Women is sponsoring a public meeting on Censor- ship and Pornography, on Nov. 17th at 7:30 p.m. at Ajax High School, Bayly and Harwood Ave. S. Ajax. The guest speaker will be Sgt. Wendy Leaver of Pro- ject P. Light refreshment will be served. For tickets call Karen Merritt 831-1097. Speaking To You Scott Fennell M.P. Ontario Ridhp Recently in Ottawa the Report of the Auditor General of Canada to the House of Commons was released. The Auditor General, Mr. Kenneth Dye, acts as the watchdog for Canadian taxpayers and prepares an annual report on how the government is spending the taxpayers money. In past years the Auditor General's Report was a litany of government waste and mismanagement, uncovering millions upon millions of dollars spent in at best ques- tionable ventures. This positive report from the Auditor General corresponds with what is the first reporting period for which our Conservative government can be held most responsible for, since we were in government for the full period of time being reported. The Auditor General himself noted that special weight should be given to the positive comments in his report, and he feels that for the first time the positive accounts outweigh the negative ones. He commented that "My sense is that there is an interest in better accountability and bet- ter management" in federal government spending prac- tices. flus report is encouraging, and I feel that it is an endorse- ment of our government's management of governmtent af- fairs. In only two years we have started to control govern- ment spending and to make the spending more accountable to Canadian taxpayers. Mr. Dye also noted that bureaucrats are being encouraged to save, rather than spend, and the government is trying to correct faults he noted in earlier more critical reports. There is no doubt that the spending practices of various departments of the Federal government are not yet running as smoothly as we would like. However, this Auditor General's Report is more encouraging than those of the past many years. Our gwmrnmtett is committed to making Parliament more accountable, and to the efficient hantdhng of your tax dollars. I believe that after two years we have made remarkable progress to halt the waste and mismanage- ment that was so evident in past years. I look forward to further such successes in the coming years.
