Friction . by Gay Abbate Scarborough's Haunted House which annually raises thousands of dollars for Scarborough General Hospital's burn unit may be cancelled because of on- going friction between Scarborough firefighters and Fire Chief Bill Wretham. The firefighters said last week that the Haunted House project is in jeopar- dy because of a new policy regulating duty exchange being imposed by Wretham as of Jan. 1. Craig Chandler, one of the organizers of the Hallo- ween event, made the an- nouncement during a che- -que presentation last Wednesday night. A cheque for $21,000, the proceeds from this year's Haunted House, was presented to the hospital. Since its inception four years ago, the event has raised more than $55,000 towards the purchase of a $75,000 cutting laser for the burn unit. The new duty exchange policy imposes strict guidelines when firefighters can swap worktime and shifts. There are presently no such regulations. According to Wretham, tightening the system is necessary because the firefighters have been abusing it. "There's so much swapping that some never work a regular shift. We never know when anyone is supposed to be working and some men are Lastman Out To Protect Disabled Parking One hundred dollar fines could await anyone who parks in spots reserved for the disabled if North York Mayor Mel Lastman gets his way. The current fine is only $10, or $20 if the fine is W paid within a week. Besides a stiff fine, Mayor Lastman recom- mends that the reserved handicapped spaces become automatic vehicle tow away zones for all but the physically disabled. He has asked North York's transportation committee to implement both ideas as soon as possible. The mayor is demanding tough, new controls to pro- tect the specially -reserved parking spots because he's "disgusted" that able- bodied motorists are using them. "It's as despicable as stealing someone's wheekhair," he says of able-bodied motorists who park in the special spaces earmarked for the dmabl- ed. "I want severe penalties placed on anyone who uses those spots ex- cept, of course. the people with cars that have the wheelchair symbol on their licence plates." He says he can't believe that people are so insen- sitive as to park in disabled parking spots. The practice seems to increase as the winter weather grows worse, he observes. He says people should be more considerate and realize that the disabled have special parking spaces because of their special needs. "But we can't legislate consideration, courtesy or common sense. The only way we can discourage this type of illegal parking is with penalties that are so severe, that the motorist never forgets it and, conse- quently, never does it again," Mr. Lastman declared. Parents Without Partners Party The Phoenix Chapter of Parents Without Partners is joining the Rosedale Chapter to give a Christmas party for the members' children. The party will be held Sun. Dec. 14th in St. Gabriel's Hall next to the church on Sheppard Ave. just east of Bayview. Over 250 children are ex- pected to attend.

The organization welcomes all single parents to their meetings which include speakers, outings, dances. euchre, !ridge, bowling and most importantly contact with other single parents to discuss mutual problems.

But according to the firefighters, the new policy is just another example of Wretham's on-going war with his staff and their union. "Moral is as low as it can go and eventually something will snap," Chandler said. The fate of the Haunted House now rests on new contract negotiations. The firefighters' contract ex- pires the end of the month and Barry Papaleo, presi- dent of the Scarborough Professional Firefighters' Association said the union intends to include a more flexible duty exchange policy as part of its con- tract. He would not say whether a breakdown in negotiations over this policy could lead to work - to -rule or even a strike but ,he did say the men want something done soon. Wretham is not the only target of the firefighters' antagonism. Papaleo said the Board of Control con- sistently sides with Wretham against the union in grievances and that it has refused to meet with the union to discuss their He said the board told them to go talk with Wretham. "&A how can you deal with a problem when you have to deal with the person who is the pro- blem, - ro- blem," Papaleo stated.

West Hill waited until the closing mu Utes last week to score ten unanswered points for a 46-36 win over a determined Silverthorn Spartans team in a Metro quarter final playoff game at Seneca College. West Hill held narrow three point leads after the opening two quarters and could only manage a 32-28 edge heading into the final minutes of the game Coach Leroy Williams, a league altar and in his rookie year as a coach, in- structed his team to switch to zone coverage. The move paid off after Silver - thorn moved to within 34-30 with four minutes to play. Andrea Robinson led West Hill scorers with a game -high 16 points while teammate Lorn Dunbar ad- ded 10. The two combined for 14 points in the final qonrter. Watch Your Step If you need to use a lad- der to place decoration at the top of the Christmas tree, or on the outside of your home, remember to watch your step. To use your ladder safe- ly, afely, heed the four main do's and don'ts: Don't overreach while standing on a ladder. Don't stand on the top cap of a stepladder, this greatly reduces the ladder's stability. Do secure the footings of an extension ladder, and set it up at a proper angle. Do pay attention to safe- ty warnings marked on the ladder, and to the literature you received when you purchased it. Carelessness and misuse are the greatest causes of ladder accidents around the home. CSA certifies step and extension ladders used around a household, but the safe use of these products is up to you. The CSA mark on ladders means the manufacturer's product has been tested for strength under situation of simulated use, and meets the design and perfor- mance requirements of the standard. Because CSA certifica- tion of ladders is not re- quired by law, both cer- tified and uncertified lad- ders can be purchased on the market. A wise con- sumer will look for the CSA mark. Use Spot Or Floodlights On Metallic Trees Never use electric light strings on metallic trees. A current leak from faul- ty lights or wiring could result in an electrical shock for anyone coming into con- tact with the metal bran- ches. Instead, shine a spot or floodlight for a colorful ef- fect. rs dard Racquet Sports Eye Protection. The manufacturers cer- tified are: AOCO Limited 1 Limi tee, Markham, Ont; CRS Sports Ltd., Edmonton, Alta; Imperial Optical Canada, Toronto, Ont.; Leader Manufacturing Inc., Long ieuil, Que; and Peepers Inc., Hamilton, Ont. Dr. Tom Pashby, a noted Toronto ophthalmologist and Chairman of the SCA Committee which developed the standard, says about 25 percent of all eye injuries in amateur occursports in racquetball and squash. According to figures compiled by the Canadian Ophthalmological Society, racquet sports have claim- ed 716 serious eye injuries — including 31 blinded eyes — in the last ten years. Dr. Pashby says not all injuries are recorded in the official statistics. He estimates that in Canada this year more than 800 racquet sports enthisiasts will suffer minor -to -serious eve injuries No Gym Championship coaching ex- perience in Russia, Korea and Canada. He is per- sonally coaching the cur- rent Canadian Gymnastic champion Brad Peters and other top members of the National Team. His search for talent starts at a club like Scar- borough Winston. Others on the floor building up stars of tomorrow are Dan- ny Gaudet, a previous na- tional champion who represented Canada at the Olympics and the recent World Championships; Fred Hummel, a qualified physical education teacher with years of gymnastic ex- perience; Briar, Samual, a former Provincial cham- pion and John Romaniuk, a current member of the Canadian National Team. Frequently, other members of the team make appearances here. But without a permanent facility here both the team and the top coaching staff will leave Scarborough to accept one of the many of- fers they have to train in a permanent facility elsewhere. "We are desperately seeking corporate spon- sors", said Mr. Lo. "So far Scarborough City Council has been unable to assist us. We have the only all boys' club here, the na- tional team will train in Scarborau "A for the Olym- pics in our facility when we get it. We need warehouse space to fit out as a gym- nasium...

Serving the Community Since 1950 -Around and About Iry J _ Your Dining & Entertainment Guide ....................... Bill Watts Worlds..................... SONG AND DANCE: It (we prefer the collective singular) is always around us if we care to look and listen. It is in par- ticular abundance in Toronto as this is being written and when it is being read. Tango Argentino is scheduled to conclude its engagement at The O'Keefe tonight though we shall not be surprised if the run has been extended yet again. If you haven't yet seen it try - try very hard - to obtain tickets. It's a book show - revue rather than stay line - and yet it is a plea- sant display ( for want of a better word) of the tango, what it is, how it came about and what it means. Just to the north of The O'Keefe there used to be a night spot called the Cork Roan ( it's a Colonel Sanders now for gawdsake! ) where we used to enjoy dancing to the music of Chicho Valle y Los Cubanios. It's a fascinating form of danc- ing filled with much symbolism. The conga drums produce the sound of thunder, bongos evoke the effect of lightning and the claves are the raindrops one bears after a tropical shower. The choreography is the manifest advance of the man and the coy retreat of the woman. We danced a good samba and a passable rhumba but we were never much good at tango. Perhaps it was because of our angio saxon background, more likely it was the absence of percus- sion. No do nnts are employed in tango music. Anyway Tam Argentin is a gbrious celebration of the tango and all who love it as we do will en- joy the show. Now, let us offer a word of cau- tion. The tango you'll see danced in this show is not like the tango you'll see danced by the general public. The cast of Tango are skilled dancers and the elan and flair they baring to the dance can be matched by anyone who cares but the in- tricacies of footwork and fluidity of motion are achieved only by pro- fessionals. And what professionals they are! From the large cast it's impossible to select any are dancer or couple who stands above the others. All are uniformly excellent. In- terestingly though, none of theme is in the first flush of youth and some are more than just a tad zaftig. The tango is a dance for the mature and Tango Argentin is a show for the mature although one suggests the young will enjoy it and learn what dancing should be. The show is not all dancing. There are some excellent singers and the orchestra performs for listening as well as accompani- ment. It is on stage against bare but brilliantly illuminated background5- Probably the best received number of the evening is the easily recognized Jalousie and that's ironic because it's not really a Latin American composition. It was written by Jacob Gades of Denmark. It's a legitimate tango, however, and danced to perfection. And Tango Argentino ap- proaches perfection as a total song and dance entertainment. As we say, Tango is scheduled to end this evening but Steppin' Out, the holi- day show at the Imperial Room runs until Dec. 20th. It's a good show and deserves a good custom if for nothing else than the energy poured into it but, hang it all, we wish we could be as enthusiastic about it as are the six performers. They sing well, dance well and seem to be enjoying themselves. The music is great too and features composers Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Fats Waller and Harold Arlen as well as some later composers - Roger Miller, Burt Baccharach and Charles Strause. - Unfortunately, and we might just be getting at something here, t isn't played well. The musicians re good but it seems to us that here are just too few and the nusic doesn't receive its full due. 'ome to think of it we've heard orae better church basement or- hestras. How about some strings, haps. The choreography of Greg :anakis is spiritedif mimaginative but, to be fair, it's r'obably been prepared with an mpenial Room audience in mind and that's good. It's a little out of ync though with all the whooping ind hollering that accompanies it. Maybe we're out of sync in not ruing more positive about the how. The ultimate arbiter most always be the audience and we urge you to make your own deci- ;ion. It shoorasell isn't Tango Argen- inio but then, it isn't supposed to )e. There's another Classical :abaret show this Sunday at the ;eorge Ignatieff Theatre. This one 'eatures Calla Krause, Christopher 14ewton and Fiona Reid. These are Ust rate shows and the admission )rices are wonderfully tow. Enjoy! kFTER FIVE: That's when cocktails are mp- posed to be drunk and certainly that's when they're at their best but we suggest that cocktails are in enjoyable experience anytime zt the lounge in the Brownstone Hotel. We were there recently for the opening of Paul Drake who is now the resident pianist and hugely en- i0yed ourself. The decor is sumptuous yet restrained, the service is alert and attentive. the drinks are well prepared and the canapis and hos d'ouevres reflect the high stan- dards of the Brownstone kitchen. Look for us there "most any afternoon at five". EYE SIGHT: You have only until this Satur- day to see the display of photography by the Gilbert family in the lower Wunge of The O'Keefe. Of course, there is manifest the fine photography one has come to expect from thein but the subjects are most interesting of themselves. We think particularly of an early portrait of Vic Damon. It was taken in 1953 before he had his nose straightened. He was even then a fine looking man but nothing like he is now. The Kearney Daniels Gallery in Yorkville is featuring a group shove until Janaury 15th and we recom- mend your attendance. Many media will be presented but we draw your attention to the works of Eduardo Gaya -Correa; C7oisonnaE and Enamels in Gold, Silver and Capper. Mucho nice! TRAVEL NOTE: To us White Christmas should ideally mean white beaches. We'll be in Toronto for Christmas so far as we know but for those of you who are motoring south we have news of a great bargain. The Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel in Baltimore is offering Sale South between Dec. 15th and March 31st. What it means is that the hotel will offer Canadian travellers par value on Canadian dollars. That could represent a discount of 35 to 4091, off the regular rack room rate. Proof of Canadian citizenship will be required at check in and the room rate will be determined by the official bank exchange rate on that day. IN PRINT: The Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television has just published the 1987 Who's Who in Canadian Film and Television. Although intended primarily for the communications media, it's an interesting book for anyone who cares about Canadian ants. You can purchase it in selected stores or direct from the Academy. Contact Chapelle Jaffe at 967-0315. Considering the current interest in lifestyles, we commend to your attention No mace Luxe home uy Amy Arbus just released by Doubleday. This is a softcover coffee table book filled with fine photographs of the living quarters of people in five American cities: New York, Lost Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and Albuquerque. They are not all luxurious but, oh my, they are all interesting. Wait till you see the home of Ted Pamall in Albuquer- que. Comprising seven aluminum towers it has been dubbed "seven lipsticks in search of a purse." There isn't a purse in the world big enough to hold the money it'd take to purchase it. Only in America? Pity. GAME TIME: Our feeling is that most board games should be spelled "bored games" but one has just come to our attention that might make a fine Christmas present_ The premise is in trying to recall a phrase or statement picked by the player at random. One either remembers or not. If the latter should be the case, one tries to bluff the other contestants. • We think it's great but then we can't remember what we have for breakfast most days.

Check All Toys For Safety Safety in toys should not be taken for granted at any time of the year. But the holiday season is par- ticularly hazardous when new toys arrive in the home and adults are occupied with many other things. It's wise to take a careful look at the toys other peo- ple give your children. Small children can choke when they try to swallow part of a toy and the object dams in the back of the throat. A small object can also be inhaled into the lungs. Some small objects, Such as alkaline disc (button) batteries present a serious threat if they are swallow- ed. Parts of a toy given to an older child can cause pro- blems if they mistakenly find their way into the hands of an infant or young child - CSA sets standards for electrical toys that are not battery operated, to pro- tect users from electrical fire and shock hazards. You can look for the (SA mark on transformers for toys and hobby use, such as with train sets, and on electrically -operated toys, like toy ovens. Adaptors commonly used with video games are also CSA - certified. to check them every six months to make sure they are tight enough. Never overfuse. If, for example, you replace a 15 amp fuse with a 30 amp fuse, the 30 amp fuse can allow the wiring to overheat. �I HIGH QUALITY AND LOW PRICES AT KING COLE BRAND FROM YOUNG OVEN READY UTILITY DUCKS 218 c kg Ib.

Wed. Ikc. IS. I%% THE NEWS/POST Page 11 A Timmy Shop For The Handicapped by Gay Abbate Scarborough is going to be the first home of the Timmy. The Timmy is a new and innovative concept in help- ing the handicapped and disabled to lead productive and meaningful lives. It is a convenience store named after the annual Easter Seal poster boy and is the brain child of Scarborough developer Joe Chiavatti. The Timmy will be managed and staffed by handicapped people and it will be totally adapted for the disabled. The front doors will slide open, there will be an absence of steps and small aisles which restrict wheelchair move- ment and the cotutters will The lower so those in wheelchairs can service customers easier. Chiavatti said be hopes the first Timmy store will be open by late next year. It will be located at McNicoll Ave. and Mc- Cowan Rd. Chiavatti said that he has spent more than two years developing the concept and he hopes it will be the first of a large chain of similar stores. Already he is looking at buying land for another two Timmy's. One will be in Scarborough and the other in Markham. Chiavatti said the Easter Seal Socie- ty which has approved the use of the name will benefit financially from the store. Chiavatti said he was driven to open such a con- venience store by his desire to help the disabled. "The handicapped are excellent workers," he stated. The stores will not be franchiz- ed but will be owned by Chiavatti. The project, however, was almost scuttled by on this site. The Knights of Columbas wanted to put a hall there. After a lengthy debate, council opted for the Chiavatte proposal by a narrow margin of 9 to 8. In its tender bid, council had asked for specific develop- ment proposals. Chiavatti said he was prepared to pay more for the site than it was worth because it is highly suited for a Timmy. He still has to obtain Scarborough Coun- cil approval to rezone the site from agricultural to commercial but he said he does not anticipate any op- position by council. __----P- -____-- The site at McNicoll and Use Proper McCowan is owned by the City of Scarborough but was put up on the auction block because it was declared surplus to the ci- ty's needs. Chiavatti's offer of $410,000 was the highest of eight submitted bids but city staff recommended that a bid of $250,000 by the Knights of Columbas be ap- proved instead.

This legislation is Bill C-22, and builds Mort recom- mendations made to the government by the commission of inquiry chaired by Dr. Harry Eastman. The bill is widely referred to as the Pharmaceutical Bill and will govern prescription drugs. both generic and brand-name. and patents and price of new drugs, and is designed to en- courage pharmacological research and development. Several aspects of the legislation are currently being debated in the House of Commons and the media, and it is important that we clearly examine the facts of the policy, not simply the perceptions and misrepresentations to which it has been subject. First and foremost, the opposition parties would have Canadians believe that Bill C-22 will result in increased drug prices for consumers. This is simply not true. At best, this is a misrepresentation of the facts. At worst. it is a deliberate attempt to engender fear and aaxiety among Canadians. Most reprehensible is the uncertainty it forces upon those most dependant on prescription drugs .. senior citizens. The truth is that the policy will not affect any generic drug now on the market. These will remain on the market. and do so at current prices. On Nov. 18, The Hon. Harvie Andre, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, was unequivocal in his assurance to the House of Commons that ..the price of drugs will not increase by one cent, not those now an the market, not those caning on the market." As such. consumers will continue to save $211 million per year through generic competition. Dr. Harry Eastman agrees. Furthermore. media reports contend that Bill C-22 would give producers of brand-name prescription drugs 10 years of freedom from competition by lower-cost generic drugs. ( Canadian Press, Ottawa, Dec_ 2, 1986.) Critics won't tell you that only 7% of prescription drugs on the market today are subject to generic competition and the resulting downward pressure on prices. To protect con- sumers, Bill C-22 proposes to place the remaining 93% of chug prices ( currently set at market value) under review by the Drug Prices Review Board. This is a federal agency which will examine drug pricing and be given authority to set price ceilings where it is found that drugs are artificial- ly expensive. If a company persists in over -pricing, the board can revoke that company's patent on the drug in question, in ad- dition to revoking its patent on are other drug, so as to underline the severity of defiance and the hardship that de- fiance causes Canadians. Currently, generic and brand-name drug producers im- port most of their fine -chemical requirements. Bill C-22 makes provision for increased research and development and job creation through beneficial patent considerations for companies which manufacture the chemicals in Canada rather than import them. Current estimates indicate that 3000 scientific and research -related jobs will be created as a result. Further- more, the policy encourages increased competition by mak- ing drugs now on the market available to generic -drug com- panies if, again, they manufacture the components rather than simply import. In an effort to keep pace with government legislation, the industry will commit funds equal to 10% of sales revenue to research and development. This is twice the level given to R&D in most other countries, and will put Canada at the forefront of such development. Clearly, this policy encourages competition, research and development, job creation in a highly skilled industry, and places downward pressure on the cost of drugs to con- sumers. Finally, the contention that the policy is a conces- sion intended for the trade negotiations with the Americans is shallow, to say the least. This policy was advocated in 1963 by the then Liberal government, long before the cur- rent trade environment. These are the facts of the legislation. They stand up to close scrutiny, and they translate into a higher quality of service to Canadians. With regret, the same cannot be said of the arguments critics use to obstruct the policy and alarm Canadians.

Young Leaders Tomorrow Program 1•cwnk Lradc•r�, Turnor - row, a new volunteer ser- vice program designed to develop the leadership skills of young people while making significant con- tributions to their com- nwnities, is coming to the City of Scarborough and surrounding district. Announcement of the local program, being undertaken by the Ontario Association of Volunteer Bureaux and Centres. in cooperation with the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, was made today by OAVB C President, Joanna R. Miller. The Volunteer Centre of Metropolitan Toronto, Scarborough Branch, will be the site host for the Scar- borough area. As site host, it will coordinate the ac- tivities of ministry client groups and other local organizations participating in the program for young people in the 15 to 24 age group - "Young Leaders Tomor- row addresses a growing concern for the need to recruit and train a unique and diverse talent bank to meet the increasing derruands of volunteerism", said the President of the decade -old central agency for 30 volunteer bureaux and centres throughout On - tanto. "This program provides integity and commitment offering young people the hands-on training oppor- tunity of a lifetime," she added. "As the core group for the referral of 22,325 volunteers to more than 3,000 Ontario agencies in the past year alone, we look forward to a mutually rewarding 'partnership of progress' with MCC", which is initially providing the OAVB C with a $329,000 grant during the first year.

I am sure that many of you have read articles about the CF -18 contract that was awarded to Canadair by the government. In June 1983, when I was a member of the opposition. I was very involved in the Com- mittee Hearings that were directed to investigate the management problems within Canadair. Consequently, I feel that I have the background knowledge concerning this matter. 1 would like to quote one of the many statements that I made during the hearings: "But I would like some co- operation between (mance and your group to know whee... you are going so that four years down the road we are not hit with another $2 billion." 1 was very instrumental in challenging Canadair management and the government of the day, as to the ex- penditure they made with taxpayers money in trying to develop a private aircraft which, to this day, is still having maintenance problem and sales problems. As a result of these problems, the Goverment of Canada this year decided to sell Canadair and were able to get Bombardier to bid for the company, and now Bombardier has the chance to make Canadair a viable Canadian corporation. The sole reason for awarding the contract to Canadair is the lgpg-term benefits derived from the transfer of technology to a Canadian owned aircraft manufacturer. There is no truth to recent allegations that Bristol Aerospace of Winnipeg could have obtained the technology for the CF -18 fighter aircrat free of charge, and that the awarding of the CF -18 contract to Canadair of Montreal will cost Canadian taxpayers an extra $30 million. The cost of the technology transfer would have been the same no mat- ter which group was awarded the contract. All three bids submitted for the contract provided for the tecnology transfer casts of $30 million. The Canadair bid was only $3.5 million higher than the Bristol Aerospace bid. Only 83 points out of a possible 1000 separated the technical ratings. Had the cost differential been significantly greater, the importance of technology transfer wound not have assurrhed the same significance in the decision-making process. The government fully subscribes to maintaining the in- tegrity of competitive bidding for contracts.

Report from Queen's Park By George Ashe, MPP Durham West BILL 7 - HOMOSEXUALITY As you know by now a vote in the Legislature last week approved, in my view, special status for the "Gay„ com- munity. I was, and still am, opposed to the change and judging by the response from my constituents by telephone and leEter you are as well. In the local weekly newspapers, who carry my column, the following appeared in the October 22nd 1966 editions. It bears repeating as many indicated they were not aware of my views on this important issue. 'During this new fall session, members of the Legislative Assembly in Ontario will have to debate and vote on the Liberal Government Bill "Equality Rights Statute Law Amendment Act 1966," commonly known as Bill 7. During committee deliberations earlier this year, the Ot- tawa Centre NDP Member of the Legislature, Evelyn Gigantes, made an amendment to Bill 7 which would Pro- hibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The arnendment passed. At the present time in Ontario, homosexuals do have the same rights as other citizens. They may exercise their right to free speech, to assemble, exercise any religious preference they might have. They may own property, en- force contracts, etc. Moreover, homosexuals cannot be dismissed from employment except for "just cause", the same as ALL other employees. One may disagree with a person's sexual preference without denying that person his or her "rights" To include sexual orientation in the Human nights Code would change the definition of the family as it is presently understood in the province of Ontario today. It would pro- vide a functional defunition which does not require heterosexuality as its foundation and would provide homosexuality as a legitimate, alternate lifestyle on the same basis as the traditional family. This amendment would mean that in addition to the rights shared by everyone, homosexuals would have special rights recognizing lin law their lifestyle and behaviour. No other group is protected under law based on "behaviour". The Charter of Rights protects citizahs on the basis of identity. not bednviotur. Alcoholics and compulsive gamble's do not qualify for such protection, neither should homosexuals. The Charter of Rights states that everyone has the right not to be discriminated against on the basis of race, na- tional or ethnic origin, sent, religion, age etc. It refers to discrimination on the basis of sac. not sexual orientation. The fust is true discriahination, the latter is not discrimina- tion at all. "Sexual orientation" refers to an optional lifestyle whereas "sex" refers to the inherent characteristic of being male or female. Refusing to pass laws giving special privileges to homosexuals is not discrimination. Do we want to see homosexual marriages legally recognized and homosexual couples adopting children? I do not! How about you"! For your information here is how the Legislative vote went: P.C. For: 4; Against: 41; Absent: 6; Liberals For: 39; Against: 4; Absent: 7; N.D.P. For: 21; Against: 0; Absent 3.

It is thought that the variability of dust coarses frau the fact that the nucleus rotates once every 2.2 days and that one hemisphere is dirtier than the other. When the dirtier hemisphere is exposed to the sum, more dust is car- ried off by the high speed gases that are evaporated. These experiments detected quantities of dust particles that are a million times smaller than smoke particles. Such small dust grains are unknown in meteorites but are thought to exist in interstellar space. It may be that comets carry material typical of that found in interstellar space. The 2.2 day rotation of the nucleus was confirmed by the Japanese spacecraft Suesei designed to in- vestigate the gases in the tail, when it passed 150,000 km from the comet. The most spectacular en- counter with Comet Halley was that of the European Space Agency's spacecraft Giotto, designed specifical- ly to study the nucleus of the cornet and targeted to pass only 600 km from the surface on its active side. It was expected that Giotto would have a rough ride and that proved to be the case as the spacecraft encountered every sort of high energy particle emit- ted from the cornet. The consequent buffeting by gaseous jets was so strong that several in- struments were destroyed and the radio link with Earth was lost for a short time. Giotto's spectacular pic- tures of the dark nucleus confirmed the long held model of the "dirty snowball" first suggested by Fred Whipple in the 1940s. The nucleus of Com- et Halley is an irregular ob- ject about 15 km in its longest dimension. The Halley spacecraft may still be useful. The U.S.S.R. may send the bat- tered but usable VEGA 2 on a gentler mission to in- vestigate an asteriod. The state of Giotto is not known; it will return to the 'vicinity of Earth on July 2, 1990, when scientists will be able to determine if its camera and enough other instruments are working to warrant a trip to Comet Grigg-Skjellerup on July 14, 1992.
