In the sport of coaling. why do players sweep the ice? A. After the stone is released by one player, a second player, the skip, determines if the stone will travel far enough to reach its target. If not. the skip calls for two addi- tional team players to sweep with thew brooms. The sweep- ing action decreases the resistance of the stone on the ice. As a result, the stone can travel up to ten additional feet. Q. Where does molasses corse from? H.I- A. The syrup which is separated from the sugar crystals when sugar is produced from sugar cane is called molasses. This by-produeK is dark and thick, with 70 to $0 percent solids. Over half of this solid is invert sugar and sucrose. There are various grades of molasses. The grade depends on the amount of boiling the molasses has undergone, with the best grades generally having been boiled less than the lower grades. Table syrup molasses is an example of a high grade molasses. The lowest grade is blackstrap which is us- ed for animal feed, fertiliser. and the distilling of rum or alcohol. Q. What is a griffin? H -G. A. The griffin is an imaginary animal used in coats of arms. While it has been drawn in a variety of ways, its distinguishing features are taken from the lion and the eagle. The upper part of the griffin is the eagle, although the head usually has a lion's ears. The lower portion of the body is the lion. Q. I recently read an article which suggested using a Wassail Bowl or mulls as holiday drinks. I know what the first is but what is a mull. J. M. A. Mulls are hot wine drinks which typically incorporate sugar and spice in the recipe. A common mull recipe would include one bottle of red or Burgundy wine, 1-1 r2 to 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, 3 to 4 cinnamon sticks, 3 to 4 cloves, and two thinly sliced lemons. Combine the water, sugar, cloves and cinnamon sticks and boil for five minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lemon slices. Cover for fifteen minutes.

Nov. 19, 1986 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Freedom To Travel by Bob Watson The Hon. Joe Clark got a tough questions period at the Scarborough Civic Centre last week and one woman asked him why he was denying her the freedom to travel to South Africa. Air. Clark replied that he was not restricting her from travelling but asking the South African government offices now gone from the country) to refrain from promotion of tourism. Well a fact-finding group of Canadians are in South Africa right now demanding the Canadian ambassador there to ex- plain why sanctions have been placed against that country. Ronald Maclean, the amabassador. was even boo -ed by some tour participants as he tried to explain why the Cana- dian government was opposing their trip offered by the South African Tourism Board. Many of the tour group said that after 18 days in South Africa they found the sanctions only hurting non -whites with unemployment. One person accused Maclean of hypocrisy for supporting sanctions against South Africa but not against other regimes with policies that are equally abhorrent. George Richardson. a former Progressive Conservative MP from Humboldt -Lake Centre in Saskatchewan accused Maclean of keeping Joe Clark "poorly informed". Maclean said that no federal cabinet minister had been to South Africa in recent memory. which answers the question by this writer why our federal government leaders are so ill- informed. We must commend Joe Clark for his handling of the ques- tions at the civic centre meeting and also for his fine speech to the Scarborough Chamber of Commerce. but we still disagree wholeheartedly with his policy on South Africa. which is only aiding the Marxist forces sponsored by the Soviet Union. Canada will have to stop being naive or we will create more bad situations for fu'tire wars to solve. Severe Loss Of Business Because Of Bad Planning I am writing from the "Red Fort of Cedarbrae '. It is handsome but remote. smart but inaccessible. It is an open air shopping plaza on the 1'W corner of Lawrence and Markham beside the Cedarbne Cinemas and it has the mastobscure access anywhere in Scarborough. . Where the driver would expect to turn into the plaza there is a foot high pavement stone to protect the resident mer- chants from potential customers. In place of a dnvew•ay to the plaza there is a gaping open air court that is usually empty but for some benches, wastepaper biris and assorted cola cans and pizza ATappers on the concrete floor. Access is via two alley -like and easily missed driveways to the parking lot behind the buildings. My fellow merchants and I have struggled for a year - sorne longer and some shorter - to attract business. The ma- jor problem - until two months ago - was that potential customers cannot find the entrance easily to this ill- conceived suburban mall. Only with a great deal of expenditure in advertising have most of us been able to attract business. Many of my fellow merchants had to throw in the towel - or should I sav "the key to their store", because they could not snake a living. To add injury to injury even this limited business is being throttled even• Tuesday. Thursday and Friday evening. Planning authorities and the landlord have seen fit to create a dnvewav between the cinema parking and the already limited parking behind our plaza. Result No customers. no business for the merchants of the mall even Tuesday. Thursday and Friday from about 7 p.m. onwards. The patrons of the Cedarbrae Cinema block access ramps to the court, they park in handicapped parking, they block all driveways. There is barely room for one car to drive in - it has to back out - everything else is blocked. I hate to think of an emergency' From talking to fellow merchants I gather we, the tenants of this unfortunate plaza, have no legal rights to ac- cess for our customers. We only have the duty to pay our taxes and presumably fade away quietly if we cannot make it against these horrendous odds. Is this how the city of Scarborough treats small business? If so, maybe entrepreneurs should be warned, if not dissuaded from locating here' Lydia Manget, owner operator Felicia's Place Boutique sussPICKERING P D S itI Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

Space Shortage At Centennial According to president Bev McCauley, Centennial Col- lege has insufficient space to meet the demands placed on it by students who would like to begin college in January. The space shortage is most critical in the business and engineering programs at Progress Campus in Scar- borough. In addition, there is insufficient space at Warden Woods Campus, although there is an urgent need for its graduates in Early Childhood Education. Volunteer awards Now Being :Accepted Minister of Citizenship and Culture Lily Munro has an- nournc-ed that Nov. 30 and Dec. 15 as the nomination deadlines for the 1967 Outstanding Achievement and Volunteer Service Awards. ' 1These awards are held to honour the many hardworking individuals and organiza- tions who have made major contributions to volunteerism in citizenship and cultural activities," Dr. Munro said. Outstanding Achievement Awards are given in three categories: individuals demonstrating outstanding volunteer efforts such as special dedication, leadership abilities, innovation or initiative can be nominated by non- profit organizations. Non-profit organizations wrench imaginatively involve volunteers in program delivery, recruitment, or skills training may be nominated by a member volunteer or by another non-profit group. Businesses supporting volunteer organizations by helping with personnel- lending profes- sional expertise• equipment or facilities and fund-raising may be nominated by non-profit organizations. Record Operating Surplus For the third straight year The Toronto Harbour Com- missioners have posted a record operating surplus, accor- ding to Board Chairman Frederick Eisen in his 1985 86 an- nual report on behalf of the Commissioners. "Although total tannage was down marginally from the Previous year, port revenues rose by $1.4 million or 10.4 per- cent which helped produce an operating surplus of $1.810.879, before debt financing, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. As a result, the improved financial perfor- mance helped reduce the debt position by almost $2.4 million to $28,948,200." he said. Scholarships From Kiwanis The Golden Mile Kiwanis Club has given 18 scholarships to students in local schools. The scholarships went to eight in Winston Churchill Collegiate, seven in Thomson Col- legiate and three to Porter Collegiate. Making The Holidays Less Lonely This December marks the 30th year of the Canadian Men- tal Health Association of Metro Toronto's Presents for Pa- tients program. The program provides personalized gifts to thousands of people in Metro Toronto who will be spending the holiday season in a hospital psychiatric unit, group home or boarding house. Presents for Patients depends solely on donations for its success. Wanda Grevatt, co-ordinator of the program, ex- plained. "We ask for cash donations rather than actual gifts because that enables us to provide personalized, useful presents. Agencies send us lists of the kinds of presents they need and we can then match the gifts we buy to the re- quests.- To e- quests."To make a donation contact the Metro Toronto branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, 3101 Bathurst St., 5th Floor, Toronto.

Bob's Notes Fulton Announces Increase in Transfer Payments to Ontario Municipalities Provincial contributions for municipal road construction and maintenance will be increased to S568.9 million next year, Ontario Minister of Transportation and Communica- tions Ed Fulton said recently. "This represents a 4.6 percent increase," said Fulton. "In addition, my ministry will retain its Mmillion Municipal Improvement Fund to provide funding for top - priority municipal road projects." added Fulton. "After years of underfunding, we have been able to turn the corner and provide improved transfer payments to our communities," said Fulton. "These additional dollars represent this government's commitment to providing the kind of expenditures necessary for the safe, efficient move- ment of goods and people so vital to the economic growth of our municipalities." Suffered Heart Attack Nidi Bonsko of the Kiwanis Club of Scarborough and well known and community -minded Scarboro ughite is reported to have suffered a heart attack and is in hospital. Everyone hopes he is on his feet again soon. L'p hospital Grants 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 198; -W.

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. New Award For Disabled Athlete A newly created and specially designed award to honour Ontario's Outstanding Disabled Athlete of the Year has been announced. The winner will be announced at the ministry's annual sports awards banquet in April.

No More Smoking With the rapid increase in passengers on all Skyeraft Air Transport flights from Oshawa the company is going to restrict smoking on board all scheduled flights. A recent survey of passengers showed that 94% asked for non- smoking flights. As the size of the aircraft makes it impossi- ble to have 'smoking' and 'no smoking' sections, the com- pany is apologizing to smokers. Carrier Routes Open!

Morris con- ducted the church service and paid great tribute, with sensitivity and understan- ding to the faithful, cons- tant work of Millie at Centennial -Rouge. Among her activities in the community were the Meadowvale Home and School, The Highland Creek Women's Institute and school secretary with the Scarborough Board of Education. She was active in the York East District organization of the In- stitute, attended the Associated Country Women of the World in Killarney. Ireland in May of this year and was ap- pointed to be Recording Secretary of the newly formed Scarborough Presbyterial of the United Church Women. She was also a member of the Scar- borough Christian Women. Millie had a poetic quah- tv which extended to a love Christmas Extravaganza Wed.

She had great knowledge of home crafts and excelled in quilting. In - 'variably her quilting was to assist the work of a charitable cause. Above all. Mrs. Hull was loyal to her family, caring for grandchildren, and con- cerned for her sister, Minerva. Mr. Dempsey described her as a dedicated tower of strength to the church. Pro- posals for road widening, expansion of highways and extension of railway lines on or near church property were dismissed by Mrs. Hull as mere vexatious w- ritations. Centennial - Rouge Church would re- main whore it is - and it has! The church would con- tinue to have a powerful place in the lives of urban people just as it had in- fluenced the pioneers and rural settlers. When the minister called upon Mrs. Hull in hospital just before her death, her first concern was the preparation of the Sunday bulletin. Describing the absolute faith of Millie Hull, Mr. Dempsey said, "Millie knew without any doubt that, 'My help cometh from the Lord who made heaven and earth' As her strength ebbed she was not afraid. *1 will fear no evil for thou art with me' for I know my Redeemer liveth'. There was deep convic- tion Whether we live or die We are the Lord's' `Nothing! Nothing is able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.' Truly she entered the joy of her Lord."

David Owen C.A. Cowan David Owen Prdsident du Conseil Directeur de I'dducation Chairman of the Board C.A. Cowan Director of Education The Science of Making an Olympic Athlete What possesses a shier to speed down a 45 degree in- cline at 95 miles per hour? Or to get up at dawn to run five miles in 40 below weather, day in and day out? Or to risk their life to flip over backwards 20 feet in the air? It can only be gold. Olympic sold - According to lack Walters, coach of the Canadian Na- tional Speed Skating Team, there are three components re- quired to make a world class athlete: high technology, scientific research and sweat. It also calls for team effort. An army of athletes, coaches, trainers, sport scientists, psy- chologists, nutritionists and corporate sponsors are helping our athletes go for the gold. 1.

It takes a full array of technology: spi- rometry machines, treadmills• ergometers and water tanks to scientifically test the athlete. Based on results, a special- ized training program is creat- ed for every athlete to schedule peak performance. 2. Video Insights A world class performance requires the refinement of every move, action and tech- nique to its ultimate end. In- creasingly, national teams use video tapes to monitor pro- gress, isolate weaknesses and perfect style. Athletes study what they re doing right, what they're doing wrong• and what additional training is required. 3. Mind Set Sport psychology tech- niques are being used to help athletes control their mental state of mind — a must for peak performance. According to Dr. Tom O'Hara, sport psychologist for the Canadian National Bobs- leigh team, every athlete at one time or another suffers from a mental block. One popular technique is to help the athlete recall the de- tails of a perfect race — mem- orizing every phase, from the starting buck to the finish line. The challenge is to tune into the "winning state of mind - L4 wing competition. A. world Class Compeditilm Coaches and scientists agree science and technology can only go so far. Competing against the world's best re- mains a key component in the making of an Olympian. Under the sponsorship of Nolson Breweries Ltd., eleven of our national winter teams are training and competing with the world's best in South America and Europe to pre- pare for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. Canada's first Winter Olympics will stage some of the finest athletes our country has ever produced. Behind every medal winner is a spe- cialized team of coaches, trainers, sport scientists, psy- chologists, and corporate sponsors, who share the glory in the making of our Olympi- ans.

All the vitamins we need can easily be obtained from a varied and balanced diet. But the addition of in- dividual nutrients to an in- adequate diet does not necessarily improve its quality. Also, a diet low in nutrients is likely to be high in fat, salt, sugar and energy, and low in fibre. Therefore a poor diet plus a vitamin supplement equals a poor diet. Taking a supplement of a vitamin or group of vitamins gives false securi- ty. You may continue to have poor eating habits, yet believe that all your nutrient needs are being met by your daily dose!

Black Creek Pioneer Village Is A Glimpse Into Past 'Black Creek Pioneer Village, provides a fascinating glimpse into Canada's past - it's a living 19th century village with an intriguing mixture of history and fun that is ideal for day trips, weekend family outings and group tours. Blade Cheek is a re- creation of a typical rural Ontario village. consisting of a variety of homes and artisan shops. It is located an the homestead of Daniel Stong. a Pennsylvania Ger- man who settled the land in 1816. Some of the buildings are on their original sites, while the others have been moved to Black Creek and restored. During the winter mon- ths, the buildings are clos- ed for maintenance, but the grounds are open for horse- drawn sleigh rides and out- door skating. On the weekend of Feb. 13-15. 1997, Black Creek hosts the annual North York Winter Carnival, a huge community ex- travaganza.

M 2360 Midland Ave., Agincourt (Just North of lot) Christmas Tree Baubles Are Beautiful & Fun To Make While it's traditional to paint eggs at Eastertime. decorated eggshells can also make beauti- ful Christmas tree decorations. Blowing eggs and then de- corating the shells will pro- vide children with a fun and interesting pre -Christmas activity. And the blown -out mixture can then be used in a variety of interesting recipes. Make sure you refrigerate the mixture right away! Use small eggs. as they make daintier decorations and are also more economical than large ones. Here's how to blow eggs: 1. Wash and dry some fresh eggs to suggested number of eggs would be six at one time). 2. Place eggs with small end up in an empty egg carton. 3. Take a clean darting nee- dle and place it in the centre of the small end of one of the eggs. Firmly tap the end of the needle, forcing it through the shell and into the egg. Repeat with re- maining eggs. 4. Turn the eggs over the other way and repeat the same process on the large ends of the eggs. Make sure you pierce right through the tnerrt, - F of the air cell in the large end of the egg. S. Get a large mixing bowl. Place your mouth over the opening in the large end and blow hard. holding the egg over the bowl so it will catch the contents as it is forced out of the eggshell. The egg should come out in a small stream If it doesn't. enlarge the holes slightly. Blown eggs can be deco - rood in many festive nays. They can be painted or sprayed with gold or sdver para. They can be colored brightly. and designs can be made on cheat. using paint or felt tip markers. sparkle dust, colored sprinkles, sequins. and the like. can be glued onto the shells after they have been painted. Even tiny magazine pictures can be glued onto eggshells to decorate them. When the artwork has dried. thread a string through the eggshell — starting at the small end, and making a knot where the string comes through at the big end. Slip a toothpick through the knot, breaking off any excess. Glue the toothpick to the egg. Now your baubles are ready to hang on the Christmas tree. Shellac the decorated eggs for more lasting beauty. And while small hands are busy with the decorating theme, why not get together the makings for an impromptu trimming party" Nothing says festive cheer like our Homemade Egg Nog. which you can make indi- vidually or in a big batch. lust double or tripple the propor- tions to suit your crowd's thirst, Set out a plate of light and delicious Almond Meringue Bars and watch your family's faces light up.

Early Canadians observ- ed Christrnas far different- ly than we do today. As visitors to Blatt Creek see as they stroll through the restored homes and buildings, the pioneers had plain decorations. A typical Pennsylvania German family, for exam- ple, set up a small Christmas tree with just a few ornaments immediate- ly before Christmas Day, and took it down im- mediately afterward. Christmas in the Village marks the return of Child's Play. That's the popular display of Black Creek's collection of antique dolls, toys and games - the largest such collection in Canada. Exhibitions of antique Canadian clocks, ornamen- tal glass and wood carvings depicting pioner life are also presented in the Visitors Centre. Christmas decorations from around the world will be displayed in the Christmas Tree Mall. The trees illustrate the Christmas customs of many of Toronto's cultural groups - Last, but not least, Santa's workshop also returns to Blade Creek. Santa Claus will be talking to children on weekends, starting Nov. 22 and daily Dec. 20 to 24.

Yet there was a time, and in the memory of some still living, when a large measure of peace and pro- sperity prevailed; when gallantry was, superficially at least, upper- most; when love was hand in hand with practicality; when wealth was espied as frosting on the con- fection of beauty. We shall not. we believe, see such time again but the National Ballet, bless it.', has resurrected it for a brief moment with its presen- tation at The O'Kede of The Merry Widow. We understand that some thin nosed, thin lipped and probably emotionally reposed types are suggesting that it is a smashing production "but not really ballet you know but rather, operrtta without wards." CodswaUop! The Merry Widow is a superb ballet set to the bring and lovely choreography of Ronald Hynd, an icnspired scenario by the late Sir Robert Helprman and. of course, the superb scare of Franz Lehar. To be fair, one can appreciate haw balletomanes might be dazzl- ed into critical blindness by the glorious scenery and costunnnes of Desmoid Heeley, the superb lighting of Michael Whitfield and the achingly beautiful adaptation of the score by John Landnberry. It remains that this Merry Widow is a bona fide ballet and those who think otherwisecan go back to their wooden risers and go misty eyed over the works of Dan- ny Grossman or even worse, those of Robert Desrosiers. At the performance we attended, the title role was danced by Sabina Apeman and she danced it to the hilt . . seductively as the sophisticated merry widow, in- nocently as the peasant girl she was a decade prior to the Aristotelian unity. Technically speaking her exten- sion and attitude are well nigh flawless but even were they not, one would still enjoy her acting performance. She was partnered by Gregory Osborne - the next, we confidently predict, Peter Shaufuss - as Danilo and he too displayed an acting talent hitherto unsuspected. His Danilo was not foppish or foolish; neither was it superhuman though the power and intensity of his lifts might belie the latter assertion. The acting surprise of the even- ing was that of Kim Lightheart as Valencienne. We have previously admired her technical skill but suggested she was a few seasons away from full thespian potential. We were wrong; she has now fully arrived as an actress. In her role she was at once flir- tatious, caring, wordly and totally woman. All that in addition to her usual fine dancing technique. She was more than ably part- nered by Owen Montague who displayed a strength that one sup- poses was always there but which` we hadn't really noticed or perhaps fully appreciated before. As is so frequently the case, one cannot single out all in the cast but we must note David Roxander as the Maitre d'Chez Maxim. He was good but, in our view, totally wasted. He is far too young to be performing character roles. No doubt he is preparing himself for the next two decades but surely we should not be denied the oppwtuni- ty to view his superb dancing skills while they are still at command. The corps was fine and Alex- ander Brezina controlled the or- chestra well while still allowing full Lehar emotion. (One wonders haw George Crum might have handled it. Ah well.) The Merry Widow is now a part of the NBOC repertoire and we Wok forward to seeing it many times and .. further opportunities to describe fully its visual splen- dours. ON YOUR TOES 11: While still delighting in the Na- tional's current season we are almost salivating over the pro- spect of another attraction caning to The O'Keefe on Dec. 2nd for a sadly shat run. Tango Argentin« is arguably Broadway's current hottest ticket as the show that is virtually bring- ing back the art of ballroom danc- ing in general and the tango in par- ticular. It is our favourite dance but the one we do least well, possibly because our Anglo Saxon deport- ment cannot lend itself to the Latin American fluidity required. Still, we love to watch it and are Woking forward to Tango Argen- two as well as writing more about it in subsequent columns. Now, where did we put those old dancing pumps"• IN THE CLUBS: The Imperial Room continues as one of North America's top supper clubs. This week it's Rita Coolidge, next week The Turtles and then Steppin' Out its year end spec- tacular that we are eagerly an- ticipating. Another night club is opening and it's in North York near the rapidly becoming "in" crossroads of Yonge and Sheppard. It's called Darling's and is at 4950 Yonge in one of Dose new buildings that look like a Hollywood thirties idea of the 21st century. There's even a noisy "waterfall" in the lobby. The grand opening is tomorrow night with Mel Lastman conduc- ting a ribbon cutting ceremony and the performing magic of Murray McLauchlan. That's correct . Murray McLauchlan. We'll have to miss it because of a prior assignment but we've already dined at Darling's and can vouch for the food and the decor. We recommend the chicken satay with peanut dip. As Zsa Zsa might say .. Good luck Darling's. ON RECORD: We were searching for the right words to describe The Spitfire Band Swings Down Broadway (At- tic).

The play stars Gerald Seaward as Charles Matherson, a quiet young college professor whose domineering fiancee, Angela (Lin- da Cahill), has his whole life organized for him. But then Gloria Markham (Sue Hutchinson) ar- rives by mistake in his apartment, and Charlie's life gets hilariously disorganized very quickly.

We appreciated the booting scree shot at true speed rather than the now overdone slow motion. IN CONCERT: Our readers in Agincourt will en- joy, we believe, a entre-$ on Nov. 24th at the St. Lawrence Centre. Four Canadian singers, a baritone, a tern- and two sopranoes will per- form works from the classics. Surprisingly, all four have roots in the Mennonite community. We don't really know why we say "sur- prisingly". Remember the Broad- way hit Fancy Free, or something like that, which gave us Young and Foolish? Anyway, one of the four, Ben Heppner makes his home in Agin- court. While we deplore regionalism, it'd be nice to see him well supported. He's really good; we saw and heard him in the Cana- dian Opera Company production of Macbeth.

(Photo - Bob Watson) Measures Introduced Since 1984 To Assist Small Business 1. Federal -Provincial Cooperation To ensure greater coordination and communication bet- ween different levels of government, meetings between ministers responsible for small business have been convew ed on a regular basis. 2. Small Business Corssultative Committee This Committee has been reconstituted and its mandate widened to advise the govermnent on specialized issues such as financing. government procurement policy. market development, innovation i technology transfer. en- trepreneurship and the small business environment. 3. Deregulation and Reduction of Paperburden The federal government. in conjunction with provincial and territorial governments. nts. has carried out studies to identify problems experienced by the small business com- munity. Corrective actions are being undertaken. 4. Small Business Statistical Data Base The federal government. in conjunction with the pro- vinces and the private sector, is developing a specialized data base on small businesses which will provide practical information such as business profiles and financial and operating ratios. 5. Procurement Policies The federal government has launched a comprehensive program to improve participation from the small business community in federal government procurement activities. 6. Enterprise Centres The government is looking at ways to encourage en- trepreneurship and to improve the success rate of new business ventures. It is providing support to innovative pro- jects in this area such as the TIEM program (5 locations in Canada) and SOCCRENT ( Chicoutimi area ), 7. Fiscal Measures - Lifetime tax-free capital gains of $500,000. This should make raising of equity capital easier for small businesses. - Incentives for pension funds to invest in small and medium-sized businesses. For every dollar invested in small businesses, these funds will be permitted to invest $3 in foreign investments over and above the previous 10% limit on foreign investment for RRSPs. - An owner can invest his own RRSP ( up to $25,000) through a Small Business Investment Limited Partnership (SBIL.P) in his own business as long as this investment does not give the partnership control of the business. - Individuals can direct up to 50% of their RRSP funds in small and medium-sized businesses. - Incentives for individuals to invest in small and medium- sized businesses through labour -sponsored venture funds. A tax credit of sl for every $5 invested by individuals in these funds. The maximum credit per year is $700. - Small business tax rate ( for first $200,000) is reduced from 15% to 13% by 1968. - Full and immediate cash refund of R&D tax credit ( up to $700,000) . - Unemployment insurance contributions for 1966 were frozen at 1985 level. - Lending ceiling of Small Businesses Loans Act (SBLA ) raised from $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion. This program enables small businesses to obtain loans up to $100,000, guaranteed 85% by the government, at an interest rate of 1% over prime. - Extension of the Small Business Development Bond pro- gram to December 31, 1987 allows small businesses ex- periencing financial difficulty to borrow up to $0.5 million at substantially reduced rates. }'•.'._... -:3::... .................... .............................. ......... Personalized Licence Plates "If you're planning to give personalized licence plates for Christmas gifts, order now." advised Transportation and Communications Minister Ed Fulton. "Personalized plates were introduced in 1963 and, since then, we have processed over 10,000 plates during each Christmas season." the Minister added. "And we are approaching the loo,00o plateau... "Each order takes about six to eight weeks to be made and delivered. So. if anyone plarss on giving them as Christmas gifts. they should order by the first week in November to ensure they get them in time." The plates are manufactured at Millbrook Correctional Institute near Peterborough and may be ordered at any lkvme issuing of- fice for $100 a set.

Anyone interested, should call the Volunteer Centre - Scarborough, 264-23o8 for further infor- mation and referral. cept the concept of freer trade with the United States the federal govern- ment has to do more to publicize it, External Af- fairs Minister Joe Clark said last week in Scar- borough. He said that the govern- ment needs to put out more information about Canada's successes in in- ternational markets. But the onus for spreading the word about the benefits of freer trade should not be left up solely to the government. Clark said following a speech to the Scarborough Chamber of Commerce last Friday. He said that people whose jobs are most af- fected by export industries should be talking about free trade. "They should be making the point in coffee conver- sations, on subways and elsewhere that they want to keep their jobs and that they want their children to have access to secure jobs „ In his speech to more than 300 people at the Howard Johnson Hotel Clark said that Canada's prosperity depends on ex- ports especially to the United States. This year alone, trade between the two countries will pass the $120 billion mark he pointed out. But the U.S., he said, is presently in the depths of protectionism. A freer trade agreement. Clark said, could lead the way to .a more liberal world trading system. In any agreement reach- ed. Canada's interests will be protected Clark assured the audience. "This coun- try can meet the best in the world and this country can beat the best in the world," he stated. The luncheon with the Scarborough business com- munity ended a two day visit to Scarborough by Clark. On Thursday night he spoke and answered questions before a packed house at the Scarborough Civic Centre. Amnesty International Topic At Ajax -Pickering Bd.

Diagnosed as mentally retarded, Roan although very healthy, also has some physical problems. He requires a wheelchair for long distances but can manoeuvre about on his own within a home as long as the space is relatively accessible. Due to a constricted esophagus, Roan requires a pureed diet but is self-feeding. Although he has received no training towards in- dependence, Roan shows great potential and can be ex- pected to make rapid progress if living in a secure, nurtur- ing environment with other children. Roan's mother is a single parent with two other children. Because she could not cope with her son's particular needs on her own she placed him in a children's nursing home out- side the Toronto area three years ago. Her goal is to have Roan living in a family setting in Metro so that she can visit him more readily and have him home for the occasional weekend. The family chosen to work with Roan will receive a salary, benefits and expenses as well as extensive training and support.

The Battle of the Atlantic, which is still remembered in ceremonies every May, was a brutal affair that the Allies could not afford to lose. If the supply lines to Great Britain were lost, so was the war. Fortunately the victory was won, but at an incredibly high cost. German U-boats, often travelling in packs, sank some 2,600 British and Canadian merchant ships during the war. More than 1,100 Canadian merchant sailors -- civilians caught in the middle of a war zone -- died during those disasters, but they also wrote one of the most stirring chapters of the war. Today those contributions by Canada's merchant sailors are mostly forgotten as history recalls more famous engagements, but The Royal Canadian Legion wants to en- sure that they are remembered. The Legion has recognized their service by giving war- time merchant sailors equal status with other war veterans. And the millions ofIopPu 'es distributed by Legion- naires every November are meant to remember the mer- chant sailors who died, just as they are meant to pay homage to Canada's dead soldiers, naval sailors and airmen. Just taw large was the contribution of Canada's mer- chant sailors to victory in the Atlantic? When the war started in 1939 there were only 37 Canadian - registered ships engaged in foreign voyages, employing ap- proximately 1,400 Canadian sailors. ua F amities Four R e s I d e its When it ended Canada had the largest merchant fleet in Children of all ages will the history of the dominions, operating 180 large ships that enjoy a program of slides and exhibits as presented win $ 1 In Sweeps required 12,000 skilled seamen.

Egypt's Mysterious Past Beckons f not& VO� The sands of Egypt are like the sands of time. stretching into the past and bringing to the present and the future the mysteries of those far off times. It is this unending saga that intrigues travellers who find the opportunity to visit the Home of the Pharohs. Joanne, one of two sisters who own the Travel Company in Morn- ingside Mall got an oppor- tunity to visit Egypt, and while it was a working tour and a very busy schedule, the magic of the Egyptian desert at night still —nag - ed to take her over and leave an everlasting im- pression. Joarxre's reason for the working trip was that her agency had received a great number of inquires regarding Egypt and being a thorough person who wants to give a good ser- vice to customers, she went to see for herself. The eleven day trip did not leave much time for anything but work, but it did include Casablanca and The Pyramids. one of the wonders of the world, left the young lady with much to speculate about. How did ancient Egyptians manage to build those huge struc- tures that still baffle the modern day architects'.' What is the meaning of the old carved pictures on the walls of the Pyramids. pic- tures that show human forms with their beads en- cased in helmets that ap- pear to be breathing units? The beach at Club Med ting the shore. Eleuthera is unbelievably Eleuthera is 60 miles east good. Miles of soft sand to of Nassau and you arrive in let you enjoy the ocean hit- a small plane overthis long sandbar island in the Bahamas group. This club has a mini club, a special facility with ac- tivities specially designed for children 2 through 11 years. The well trained staff coordinates a pro- gram of sports, circus training that includes jug- gling, trampoline, trapeze and makeup plus picnics, theatrics and more. ?Mini guests dine at earlier hours and enjoy healthy snacks throughout Did the ancient Egyptians get assistance from some outer space visitors? When one visits Egypt what may appear outlandish and far fetched in the cold :Porth American climate does not appear so unlikely in this land of mystery. The ancient scrolls that Moses read, still reside in a small church close to where the baby was hidden in the bull rushes to avoid the killings that had been ordered. Joanne spoke with wonder of her visit to the the day. The mini club is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For adults there is scuba diving for certified divers and novices. water-skiing. sailing and snorkelling at the marina. At the village there is a swimming pool or the sea, calisthenics, water exer- cises. volleyball, basket- ball, bocce ball, ping pong, bicycling, tennis with 8 courts and deep sea fishing. Accommodations are double occupancy. air con- ditioned rooms with twin beds and a bathroom with shower. Electricity is 110 volts. The Club Med village has one to three storey bungalows facing the sea and a small tropical cour- tyard behind. The main complex horses the disco. dining room, open air bar. dance floor, theatre and boutique and wraps around a swimming pool. On the Caribbean side of the island, just a mile away by shuttle bus is the marina with a lunch time restaurant and bar. Club Med Eleuthera can be a lot of fun . for the whole family. tombs of the Pharoahs. She said it was lust like it was a thousand years ago. primitive and vet so fascinating. Even the en- trance to which they ap- proached the tombs had a history. They were originally made by thieves who went to plunder the an- cient king's graves. Another striking feature was the friendliness of the people. This really came across to Joanne because of all the turmoil that ap- pears to be taking place in the 'diddle East. She com- plimented the women, describing them as very beautiful. Egypt has always been a land of con- trasts. One can see a donkey cart rolling down the streets flanked by small sports cars. Businessmen in modern lounge suits hurry past fellow countrymen, dress- ed in the traditional white smocks. Words are difficult to fund to adequately describe this ancient land, and perhaps the only way to really appreciate it, is to visit it. Joanne flew by Air Morrocco and said she was very satisfied. Flight time was approximately 20 hours each wav, with con- nections to be made in New York and Casablanca. This flight is the least ex- pensive and according to Joanne, offers everything one could want. For further information one should see Joanne at the Travel Com- pany in Morningside Mall.

About 200 business, labor, academic and community representatives from the Nath showed up in Sault Ste. Marie during the first week of November to bear Premier Peterson tell them what they already knew. There are no "mega -solutions" to northern problems and Northerners should stop looking for someone else to blame for their problems - that's what Peterson told delegates at his two-day northern economic conference. What he was really telling them was to find their own solutions. A delegate who has been to many of these conferences said it's always the same thing. The government identifies the problems but does nothing to solve them. After it was all over. the Premier told reporters he coutletn't describe the coneeYsus. But that's only because there wasn't one. The only defmite information coming from the conference was that more follow up reports would be issued and another conference will be scheduled next year in Thunder Bay. The Premier. who has been acting as Northern Develop- ment Minister since Rene Fontaine resigned after conflict- of-interest charges. said he will discuss some of the ideas raised with Treasurer Robert Nixon for use in preparing the province's next budget. Critics say the meeting was doomed to fail right from the start because of poor organization. In fact, many key. figares from labor and bustriess groups in the North were not contacted or were contacted too late to prepare. The purpose of the conference was to show the govern- ment's commitment to northern development. But we all know the real motive. It was a political move. The Liberals only have two seats in the North - one's tor - rowed, the Socialist turned Liberal, and the other one is Fontaine's which is not exactly worth bragging about. The Liberals need more seats and more support from On- tario's North. Unfortunately. Peterson still doesn't unders- tand the North can't be wooed or tamed by economic con- ferences. The North needs financial support and govern- ment involvement. More action and less talk.

I Speaking To You Scott Fennd M.P. c oft Riding Two weeks ago, a series of strong measures to protect children in Canada from sexual abuse and exploitation were re -introduced in the Hoose of Commons, by the new Minister of Justice, the Hon. Ray Hnatyshyn. These amendments to the Criminal Code and the Canada Evidence Act will provide children with an increased level of protection against sexual abuse and they include: - amendments to provide severe penalties for those who seek to obtain the sexual services of a young person under 18 (up to 5 years in prison) . - amendments to increase the penalty for those who live off the avails of a juvenile prostitute under 18 years from 10 to 14 years in prison. - amendments to permit unsworn evidence of children as witnesses in sexual abuse cases to be heard without the need for corroboration. - proposal to videotape statements in which a young person under 18 years could describe the alleged acts, and which the tape could then be used as evidence. Our children are the future of Canada, and we try to pro- tect them as much as possible. By addressing child sexual abuse in the Criminal Code, adequate penalties are assured for conduct which has a severe damaging effect on a child for the rest of his or her life. I would like to discuss what Prime Minister Mulroney and this Government have been able to accomplish since we carne into power two years ago. We have received much criticism from all sides, some of which I feel is very unfair, and I would like to have the chance to set the reca d straight. Within the last two years, this Government has made definite progress in many areas. and if are takes the time to loon at what we have been able to do - you cannot disagree with the nature of this progress. During the past two years over 563,000 new jobs have been created, and these are permanent jobs, not short-term projects. This month Statistics Canada published the unemployment rate - 9.4%. This is the lowest rate of unemployment since March 1982. Interest rates are now at the lowest point since I.M. This means new jobs. new homes and a better future for our families. Inflation is finally under control and we now have the most stable prices in the last 15 years. After inI itwg an enormous def -wit, the Mulroney Government started encouraging private initiative. im- proving effectiveness and reducing expenditures. The growth w the deficit will be halted and by 1990, total savings will amount to over 26.7 billion dollars. This Goverimeit has strived to be fair to all Canadians. We have shown our commitment to this end by strengthen- ing the social safety net, extending the spouses allowances, improving veterans' pensions and a new refundable tax credit. I"* overdue changes have been initiated to the justice system. These reforms will protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation, deal with impaired drivers and curb street pmsbttttiott and computer crime. Comprehensive trade discussions with the United States will help bring to an end the continuing problem of protec- tionist measures that have hurt our economy and robbed us of jobs. Despitethis progress, so much remains to be done. Twenty-two uninterrupted years of misahanageme it can't be corrected overnight. I know that it is very easy to quote statistics, but one can- not ignore solid facts. Real evidence of a positive turn in the Canadian economy is there for all to see: this cannot be over -looked.
