Q. How and when did the Stratford Festival in Canada
begin' Anon
A. The idea began in 1951 with a Stratford, Ontario jour-
nalist named Tom Patterson. To investigate the possibility
of an annual drama festival being held in the city, he form-
ed a committee. The decision to produce a Shakespearean
festival was confirmed when the British director, Sir
Tyrone Guthrie, was brought to Stratford in 1952 to serve
as artistic director.
The committee imagined an open air theatre. But Guthrie
convinced the committee to use a closed -in theatre or tent
with an open stage.
That is exactly what the comittee did. The following year,
on July 13, 1953, the fust festival began in a tent. Running
only six weeks, the performances included "Richard III
and "All's Well That Ends Well". Playing the lead was Alec
Guinness.
The festival was an immediate success. Since then it has
grown to include an expanded program of classical and
modern plays, musical programs, workshops, experimen-
tal work, and the training of actors. Three theatres have
been built or obtained including the main amphitheatre
which was built in 1957, the Avon theatre which was obtain-
ed in 1963, and the Third Stage which was added in 1971. In-
stead of six weeks, the festival season now runs for about
twenty-seven weeks.
Q. My dad told me that there is a huge rat that lives in South
America. He said it's as big as our dog. Is my dad telling me
the truth? D.S.
A. Your father is telling a half truth. Rats are members of
the rodent family. Rodents are mammals that gnaw or nib-
ble their food. The rodent group includes mice, rats,
beavers, squirrels, porcupines, and woodchucks.
The rodent that your father refers to is the Capybara.
Capybaras live along the banks of South American rivers.
They eat water plants and grow very large. You cannot
easily mistake a Capybara for a rat. Not only is this giant
rodent tailless, but an adult may be four feet long and weigh
150 pounds.

Pay Equity Is Not Equality
by Bob Watson
The provincial government has moved another step
closer to getting legislation passed referred to as "pay equi-
ty". To show how the government members at Queen's
Park are ignorant about what it is that they are passing,
Chris Ward, Minister Responsible for Women's Issues said:
"This government has been unwavering in its commitment
to the principal of pay equity -- to the principle that wages
cannot and should not be based on a worker's gender. The
value of a person's work is not a function of whether that
person is a man or a woman".
That statement proves that Chris Ward knows absolutely
nothing about the legislation being considered. The Pay
Equity bill is about a worker's gender alright because it will
artificially place the price tag on a "woman's job" related
to some other kind of "man's job", even though they are not
the same job. Men and women in the same job have equal
rights now in the current laws, a fact of which government
cabinet members seem completely ignorant.
According to the words being issued by provincial
government members this week they seem to believe that
because the two million females who work in Ontario take
home 66 cents for every dollar earned by men, there is job
inequality.
All intelligent discussion and research on this subject
show that the passing of this "pay equity" legislation will
mean less jobs for women, especially in the ones being
assessed by government agents, and a higher product price
due to this artificial wage increase, which will result in less
sales of products and therefore less jobs and more plant
closures. The net result will be that many women will be out
of work - the very people this idiotic legislation is supposed
to help.
This "pay equity" legislation is not about "equality" - it
is about government dictatorship. and provincial agents
%rill have the power to enter any business without warning
and seize any payroll records at will. This is not the
democratic way of life in which most of us believe. This is
dictatorship - and I for one am against it'
At Last A Stand
Scarborough Board of Control finally has taken a stand on
the battle going on between the fur chief. Bill Wretham.
and members of the furefighte s' union. A letter from
Mayor Gus Harris has toad the firefighters that public
criticism of the chief is forbidden or disciplinary action will
be taken.
The board of control has backed the fire chief 100% and
we must commend it as well as Mayor Harris for taking a
positive stand on this issue. Most of the irritation amongst
the firefighters is because of Wretham's stand on switching
shifts in order that the firefighters can handle their other
outside jobs. Part of the probler.. is the Ontario Fire
Department Act which puts all firefighters below deputy
chief into the union. Council is going to ask the solicitor
general to change the act so that captains and above are in
management, and not the union.
Scarborough's fire dept. is a good organization basically
and does its work well. However, more priority by the union
members to their well-paid jobs certainly would improve
the whole situation.

Bob's Notes
Too Much For Gasoline
Bill Davis, M.P.P. Scarborough Centre, is angry that On-
tano motorists are paying $.500.000 a day too much for
gasoline because of the Liberal government's tax policies.
In October 1985• Treasurer Robert Nixon announced a flat
tax of 8.3 cents on every litre of gasoline sold in this pro-
vince.
ryvine. Under the previous Progressive Conservative
government• the gas tax was a percentage of the current
cost per litre for gasoline. This meant that when the price of
gas fell, the amount of tax levied fell as well.
"While the price of gas fell significantly throughout 19%
the liberal gas tax has remained the same. As a result, On-
tano government taxes now represent 20 percent of the cost
of buying gasoline," Mr. Davis pointed out. "Its tanta-
mount to consumers paying a 20 percent "sales" tax on
their gas purchases." he continued.
Had the previous ad valorem tax system put in place by
the Progressive Conservative government not been chang-
ed it is estimated that Ontario motorists would have saved
$3.3 million per week on their purchases at the gas pump.
9W New Rental Units
Housing Minister Alvin Curling has announced that initial
approval has been given for the production of more than 900
new housing units in Ontario, designated for disadvantaged
persons. Thirty-five sponsoring groups in 23 municipalities
across the province have been given the go-ahead on hous-
ing projects that will result in 942 new units.
"We are taking steps to ensure that the greatest possible
number of units will be occupied by homeless people, han-
dicapped individuals. battered spouses or low-income
singles." said Curling. "These allocations give me par-
ticular satisfaction as we begin to mark the International
Year of Shelter for the Homeless."
Report From Parliament Hill
. by Bob Flicks, MP Scarborough East
CANADA -FRANCE FISHERIES DISPUTE
With alarming frequency, the opposition parties insist on
marrying half-truths to pure fantasy in their effort to
misunderstand what happens around them.
Their latest exercise centres on the Canada -France
fishing dispute off the coast of Newfoundland. As a govern-
ment member, I firmly believe Canadians prefer fact to fic-
tion; truth presented in a concise and honest fashion to
distortion for its own sake. That being the case, it is impor-
tant to accept historical fact without attempts at revision.
The revisionists in the opposition parties would not wish
Canadians to know that the current fisheries dispute bet-
ween Canada and France, being the latest in an ancient
chain of such disputes, can be traced to a treaty entered in-
to by the Liberal government in 1972 with the government of
France.
Under the provisions of that treaty, signed on behalf of
Canada by then Liberal External Affairs Minister Mitchell
Sharp, the French metropolitan fleet (from France proper)
was guaranteed the right to send trawlers into Canada's in-
ternal waterways - the Gulf of St. Lawrence - to fish until
the end of 1966. Furthermore, that same treaty gives access
to the Gulf for trawlers from the French islands of St.
Pierre and Miquelon beyond 1966.
The French fleets were not bound by quotas under that
treaty. They were allowed to catch as much fish as they
could physically carry. If the two countries disagree on the
amount of fish to be caught, the French are granted the
right to seek compulsory third party arbitration in their at-
tempt to guarantee access to a specific amount.
In 1977, Canada declared a lou mile exclusive economic
zone off our coasts, but this action did not supersede the
provisions of the 1972 fisheries treaty. Canada, therefore,
had created a situation whereby, on the one hand, she
claimed economic sovereignty over the 200 mile zone, while
on the other hand, the treaty five years previous to this had
guaranteed unlimited French access to waters we now
claimed as sovereign'
Hence. the 1972 treaty gives the French metropolitan
fleet the unqualified right to fish Canadian waters in
perpetuity. There is no termination date for this provision
of the treaty. Unless France can be convinced to take this
issue to international arbitration with a view to terminating
the 1972 treaty to the benefit of both parties. Canada will be
forced to continue allowing French over -fishing of the
banks, obviously to France's benefit.
Some media sources are now suggesting that New-
foundland is aggravated over the federal government deci-
sion to license French fishing vessels to work a disputed
area known as 3PS. It should be noted that in June, 1964, the
Liberal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Pierre De Bane
and External Affairs Minister Allan MacEachen agreed
that in this disputed area, neither country would harass or
in any way impede the ships of the other country. until such
time as claim to the arra was established by international
law.
By applying for an accepting licenses from Canada to fish
these water, France is tacitly recognizing Canadian
authority over these water. Canada therefore grants these
licenses for two essential reasons. First, the area is under
dispute and until this is resolved, neither country is in a
legal position to deny access to the other. Second. when this
issue is adjudicated. Canada wishes to prove French
licenses, de facto Canadian authority is illustrated.
As a solution to this dispute, the New Democratic Party
suggest the use of force. Indeed. on January 2B, 1967, in the
House of Commons, their leader offered the opinion that the
time for negotiation has ended. and that Canadian warships
should row be sent against the French trawlers to chase
them back across the Atlantic. To advocate such a care is
reckless and irresponsible, to say the least.
The terms of the 1964 agreement, confirmed by the ex-
change of diplomatic notes between the Liberal govern-
ment and France, were quite specific. They stated that:
Each party in the disputed zone will abstain from
regulating fishing vessels flying the flag of the other party
in the disputed zone.
To date, France has simply agreed to discuss the
possibility of submitting this issue to third party arbitra-
tion. This is not to be confused with an agreement to actual-
ly submit to such arbitration.
Our government is committed to resolving this dispute to
the benefit of Atlantic Canadians specifically, and all Cana-
dians generally. However, there are legal, international
constraints upon the course of action we may pursue. We
must accept this fact. Those constraints are faced by the
government when considering action on this issue; they are
not faced by the opposition when they naively call for war-
ships to swing into action in contravention of an interna-
tional agreement, particularly when Canada has signed
that agreement.
It is unfortunate that some subjective elements of the
news media choose to employ hyperbole rather than reason
in their focus on this dispute. The time is long overdue that
Canadians were presented with all the facts, not simply
those which serve narrow, sectarian interests.

Kicking The Habit - Some Helpful Suggestions
(Taken from "Nutrition
Matters" prepared by
Public Health Nutritionists
In Metropolitan Toronto,
Simcoe County and the
Regions of York and Peel)
Smoking: If You Quit Will
You Gain?
"Sure, I'd love to quit
smoking. But I'm really
afraid of gaining weight."
Sound familiar? You know
you should quit. And you
want to. But the fear of
gaining weight is standing
in your way. But does it
really need to? Here are
answers to questions fre-
quently asked by those who
are worried about weight
gain as a result of 'kicking
the habit'.
Will I gain weight if 1 quit?
Weight gain when you
quit is possible but not in-
evitable. Studies have
shown that while two-thirds
of quitters gain weight,
one-third stay the same
and some even lose. For
those who do gain, the
average is around 4 to 13
pounds (2 to 6 kg) .
Is it possible to gain weight
when von quit, even if you
don't eat more?
Yes, it is possible.
Research indicates,
although the results are not
yet conclusive, that smok-
ing alters metabolic pro-
cesses. This may explain
why smokers tend to weigh
less than non-smokers.
Once you quit, your
metabolism changes back
to normal. So sane ex-
smokers do gain even when
their diet remains the
same. A regular
cardiovascular based exer-
cise program such as cycl-
ing,
or
brisk walking is recom-
mended to keep weight
down and to improve the
health of yaw heart and
lungs -
If I quit smoking and gain
weight haven't I just trad-
ed one heakh rr"k for
a.other?
No you haven't. The
health hazard of a pack-a-
day habit is equal to the
problems associated with
carrying 125 pounds ( 57 kg)
more than is normal for
your height and build.
Remember the average
weight gain is only from 4
to 13 pounds.
Quitting smoking takes
effort and willpower. For
now concentrate on giving
up cigarettes. Once you
have kicked the smoking
habit you'll have a new
boost of confidence. Then
you can focus on taking off
any extra pounds.
Can 1 eat whatever I want
until I've kicked the smok-
ing habit?
No. You have to be sensi-
ble. It's too easy to get
caught in a vicious circle.
Some quitters start eating
excessive amounts and
their weight shoots up.
Then they use this as an ex-
cuse to start smoking
again. If they start smok-
ing and return to their
former diet and lose
weight, they talk about
smoking as though it was
effective for weight con-
trol. It isn't.
MTC Phone
Nos. Change
Effective Mon. Feb. 2,
Ontario's Ministry of
Transportation and Com-
munications drivers and
vehicles enquiry, general
information and road infor-
mation phone numbers will

The new winter road in-
formation number will be
235-1110; driver and
vehicles enquiry will be
236- M and general infor-
mation enquiry: 235.2771.
What guidelines should 1
follow to reduce the
chances of gaining weight?
There are lots of ways in
which you can keep the ex-
tra pounds at bay. Here are
some suggestions.
Smokers often associate
icertain situations with
smoking. When you quit,
the temptation is to eat in
that situation. For exam-
ple, if you always had a
cigarette with your coffee
or after a meal the craving
may become intense. Don't
reach for the cookie jar.
Get up from the table as
soon as you have finished.
Change old habits. Go for a
walk or drink your coffee in
the living room. If you
can't drink coffee without
snacking you may have to
give it up for a while. Or if
you used to drink it with
milk or cream, take it
black. The changed taste
may help the association
with cigarettes fade.
Nicotine is thought to
depress the appetite for
sweets so you may find
yourself craving for
desserts now. Have low
calorie food available to
satisfy your urge to nibble.
Apples are great. They are
easy to carry, take a while
to eat and make your
mouth taste fresh. In-
dividually wrapped melba
toast, sunflower seeds,
cheese and crackers, even
popcorn (unbuttered of
course) will get you past
the candy counter. At
home, try the old
favourites, carrot and
celery sticks. For variety
add raw cauliflower and
broccoli dunked in a low
calorie dip. If you want
something strong tasting,
dill pickles are a good
choice.
Keep moving. Walk,
bike, swim, dance, play
tennis - choose the ac-
tivities you enjoy and stick
with them. Regular exer-
cise will help curb your ap-
petite, burn calories,
relieve stress and give you
a sense of well-being. You
can breath more easily
now!
Some quit -smoking pro-
grams recommend in-
creasing your fluid intake.
Make sure these extra
drinks are caffeine -free.
Coffee, tea, chocolate and
colas all contain caffeine
and they may increase the
"jitters" - a common side
effect of nicotine
withdrawal. Since you also
want to keep your sweet
tooth wider control, try diet
drinks, mineral or soda
water or even plain water.
Get others to help you.
Ask your family, friends
and colleagues for support.
Be direct. Tell them you
would like low calorie
snacks at get-togethers.
Let them know you would
appreciate tactful
reminders when your
snacking gets out of hand.
Involve them in your food
monitoring. Ex-smokers
may be particularly
reassuring so ask for their
advice.
Reward yourself for not
smoking. But don't use food
as the grand prize! Put
your 'cigarette money'
aside and spend it on a
special treat or save it for a
holiday. Spoil yourself.
Celebrate each non-
smoking anniversary; the
first day, week, month and
year.
A special note = stress
Quitting smoking does
not necessarily create
stress. But it does remove
your usual method of deal-
ing with it - which was to
reach for a cigarette. If you
know this ahead of time
you will be able to find new
and better coping
mechanisms. Nutrition and
stress interact. Stress af-
fects your nutritional
status and your nutritional
status affects how well you
cope with stress. The most
effective way of dealing
with stress is to maintain a
well-balanced diet.
You'll feel so proud of
yourself once you've kick-
ed the habit. If you do gain
a few unwanted pounds
don't worry, there's help
available. Personal dietary
counselling can be arrang-
ed through a registered
professional dietitian nutri-
tionist.
Your local health depart-
ment, hospital or the On-
tario Dietetic Association
(364-8006) can put you in
touch with a dietitian nutri-
tionist. For more informa-
tion contact Public Health
Nutritionists at 224-6336.

e Special Canadian Grains
program is assisting farmers
with $1 billion. This initiative,
announced by Prime Minister
_Brian Mulroney, is the largest of
its kind ever undertaken by any
Canadian government on behalf
of farmers.
It is a national program that
responds to a national need. It
will help offset low grain and
oilseed prices resulting from
the subsidy war between the
European Community and the
' Government Gouvernement
of Canada du Canada
1A
United States.
The first $300 million will be in
the hands of grain and oilseed
farmers this winter. Another
$700 million will be paid out in
the spring.
The details of this historic
program are as follows:
You will benefit if, in 1986,
■ you grew wheat, barley,
oats, rye, mixed grains, corn,
soybeans, canola, sunflower
seeds for crushing or flax.
Pedigreed seed, high moisture
corn, high moisture barley and
farm fed grain are also covered.
2The first cheques are
■ being mailed directly to
Western farmers based on
Canadian Wheat Board permit
book data.
3If your crops are not
in included in permit book
data, or if you are a qualifying
producer who doesn't receive a
cheque, you can pick up an
application at the following
places-
• Offices of Members of

Bill Watt's Worlds
DINNER THEATRE:
Just opened at the
"T'eller's Cage Dinner
Theatre is a great show titl-
ed Hollywood Opera. It
.nicely qualifies as a double
feature for two reasons.
The first is that it com-
bines, as the title suggests,
elements of motion pic-
tures and the opera.
Secondly, although it is an
intimate show - almost a
cabaret - it has the poten-
tial to be expanded into a
full scale musical. We con-
fidently predict that some
day it will be and that some
day might be soon.
Hollywood Opera has a
deceptively simple format:
better known motion pic-
tures or moments from
them are burlesqued and
almost lampooned as com-
ic operas.
You'll see Mildred
Dearest, a take off on Joan
Crawford and her role in
Mildred Pearce: Ram-
boletto presenting
Sylvester Stallone as a
macho court jester: Woolfe
lady. a devastingly funny
send up of Who's Afraid of
Virginia Wolfe, Della
Rosa's Turn with a sexy.
Anna Magnan replete with
red slip declaiming about
her lover's rose tattoo,
Citizen Kong. Ho% Naw
Voyager and. the funniest
of them all. D'Oyly Carte
Blanch. a Savoyard presen-
tation of A Streetcar Nam-
ed Desire.
And, those are just a few
of the sketches: we haven't
space to list them all and
besides, you owe it to
yourself to be surprised.
The Three singers are Jo-
Anne Kirwan Clark, David
Mucci and Camilola Scott.
Assisted by some clever
puppeteering they do full
justice to the writing, com-
posing and directing of
Barry Keating.
Each one is a fine singer
and each one has a fine
sense of comedy both broad
and sophisticated.
Miss Scott is funny in the
manner of an Elaine
Stritch in Della Rose's
Turn but never does her
beautiful voice fail to thrill
the audience by itself. One
dislikes cliches but we sug-
gest that Miss Scott could
sing pages of the telphone
book and make them
beautiful while making her
listeners laugh.
As Citizen Kong, Mr.
Mucci might well have
been the late Phil Silvers in
Comedic impact but Mr.
Silvers. of affectionate
memory, shoorasell
couldn't sing like Mr. Muc-
ci.
How Now Voyager
features Miss Kirwan
Clark as a thinly disguised
Bette Davis in the role of
Charlotte Vile. Impres-
sions of Bette Davis are a
dime a dozen but we
believe that Miss K Cs is
one of the best we've ex-
perienced and she does it
while still singing
beautifully.
If there is a single possi-
ble fault with Hollywood
Opera it is that one should
probably be a movie buff to
appreciate it to the fullest.
Forexample one sketch,
Tippi's Immolation, is
most certainly funny but
only if one recalls TNppi
Hedren, the perfectly awful
actress that Alfred Hit-
chcock tried to make into a
star. Incidentally, it con-
tains a soupcon of Pick a
Little from The Music Man.
That possible fault aside,
Hollywood Opera is a new
bright spot on our enter-
tainment.
Now, allow us to leave
you with our personal
favorite line from the show.
In How Now Voyager a
thinly disguised Paul
Henried is offering a
cigarette to Miss Vile in the
manner that one recalls
from Now Voyager. Trying
to decline, she throatily
declaims "We cahn't
Jerry. You're married".
Jerry quickly states "We
won't inhale". We couldn't;
we were laughing so hard.
DINNER THEATRE II:

Theatre's new attraction is
The Music Man. Now this is
a big show and we found
ourself wondering how it
could be produced in the
more or less intimate sur-
roundings of this cosily ex-

should have realized that
Adolf Toman could carry it

duced another triumph.

Love's Natural At Kortright Centre
Valentine's Day is ap-

load up your arsenal of love
potions.
Find out which common
plants and spices will catch
a lover's interest, keep it,
or dispel it, during Natural
Aphrodisiacs, a special
presentation on Sat. and
Sun. Feb. 14 and 15 at 2
p.m. at Kortright Centre
for Conservation, Klein -
burg. The event is free with
admission.
Aphrodisiacs have been
part of folklore for cen-
turies, and many of the in-
gredients to make them
can be found in the Toronto
region. For example, the
root of a trillium is the
source of a potion for at-
tracting a lover.
According to Indian
folklore a beautiful
maiden, who desired the
chief's son, was on her way
to his tepee with some
trillium root tea, when she
tripped and spilled the tea
into the food of an ugly, old
man- Much to her dismay,
does it but somehow, a
quartet of musicians has
the impact of a full pit or-
chestra and the cast - large
by dinner theatre stan-
dards but still small by
Broadway criteria -
delivers the full measure of
del*M that has made this
Meredith Willson musical
so well beloved.
All of the songs are here
and all sung and danced as
they should be.

fessor Harry Hill this time

good enough singer. He
refused and it was then of-
fered to Van Johnson who
is a good enough dancer
and singer.
Finally it went to Robert
Preston who was not known
as a singer or a dancer but
he is the one who is best
remembered in the robe.
Now Mr. McKay cannot
dance quite as well as
Messrs Dailey or Johnson
but he dances far better
than Robert Preston and
his fine voice is better than
that of all three.
He's far better looking
too, rather remin&ng one
of Robert Goulet. He is ex-
cellent in the role and if we
seen to be snaking com-
parisons it is simply
because Robert Preston
has imprinted his peronah-
ty so strongly an the role.
As Marion the hbrarian.
Sheila Brand has a
somewhat vulpine ap-
pearance that at first
seems out of character but
she acts so well that the
sweetness of the role soon
shines through. And. ob
what a glorious voice'.
When she sings Goodnight
My Someone, were sure
every man in the audience
thinks the song is intended
for him.
We should like also to
mention Diane Fabian in
the role of the mayor's
wife. We've known of Miss
Fabian for some time now
but hadn't realized just
how funny she can be. If
comparisons must be
made, let it be on record
that we consider her the
equal of Hermoine Gingold
in the role. Well done Miss
Fabian.
Larry Solway is, as
always, effective in the on-
ly role in the play that
comes close to being heavy
and we must express
pleasure over the quartet.
These four gentlemen play
several other roles in the
production and yet when
they sing as a quartet they
might well be appearing in
the finals of a SPEBSQSA
competition.

The children of the cast
are delightful. We will not
give nacres because the
roles are not played nightly
- child protection laws re-
quire that they be alter-
nated - but there is one ht-
tle tad that is just a heart
gmckener. He is obviously
enjoying himself and that
joy flows aver to the au-
dience.
The costuming is gentle -
mostly ice cream colouring
- and the sets simply clever
but cleverly simple.
A word, too, about the
choreography of Bob
Ainsley. Realizing the
relatively restrictive
dimensions of the
U Blight Stage, he has
wonderfully turned the
Shipoopt into a de facto
Castle Walk and how plea-
sant it is to see Mr. McKay
and Miss Brand going
through its paces.
The Music Man is a fine
pleasant show well recom-
mended by your correspon-
dent.
ON SCREEN:
Black Widow (Twentieth
Century Fox) is a winner in
the thrill sweepstakes.
Well, maybe we should
have said thriller because
that's what this motion pic-
ture is.
Theresa Russell plays
the role of a woman who
might or might not be a
murderess. Certainly she
has been married to a
number of wealthy men
who have died under
mysterious circumstances.
And yet, and yet, she might
not be responsible.
Debra Winger who is
always satisfactory in her
screen appearances is a
federal agent who first
begins to suspect Miss
Russell.
Now, we have no inten-
tion of disclosing whether
or not she truly is a killer.
Neither have we any inten-
tion of mentioning the
denouement. We will say
only that one would have to
be foolish to leave the
theatre for any reason dur-
ing the last ten minutes . .

Mr. Irwin said that the
key to success in business

Browes. Each one percent

Summer Is Tivoli Time In Copenhagen
Summer Time is Tivoli
time in Copenhagen. Den-
mark's famous fair is one
of its oldest tourist attrac-
tions (it opened in 1343) and
each season thousands of
people - visitors and Danes
alike - come here to let
their hair down.
Scattered among 20
acres of parkland and pret-
ty walkways are cafes,
restaurants and open-air
theatres. There's a midway
with rides such as
carousels and a Ferris
wheel. Not surprisingly,
there's also a Hans Chris-
tian Andersen Fairy Tale
Castle.
At one end of the enter-
tainment scale are the jug-
glers, clowns, gymnasts
and acrobats who perform
at "Plaenen" ( the lawn).
At the other is Skukefter,
an after-hours jazz club.
A favourite with children
is the Pantomime Theatre
with its fan -shaped
peacock curtain. Actors
portraying Pierrot, Colum-
bine and Harlequin per-
forin in mime and as the
show opens the "tail" of the
curtain opens in a rainbow
of colors, prompting the
kids to squeal with delight.
Another popular attrac-
tion is the Tivoli Guard -106
boys aged 10 to 16 years,
who march through the
park at weekends, clad in
the sparkling red and white
uniforms of the Queen's
Life Guard.
By purchasing a
Copenhagen Card visitors
get free access to Tivoli
and 25 attractions. Much of
the entertainment in any
case, is free, or casts very
little.
SMALL FRY HAVE FUN
AT LEGOLAND
Legoland has a new at-
traction - a giant bust of In-
dian Chid "Sitting Bull" -
Made out of thousands of
tiny colored bricks. the
14 -metre high statue is the
brainchild of designer
Bjorn Richter. But Sitting
Bull is just one of many
such monuments.
l.tgoland, a 50.000 square
metre amusement park is
filled with Lego structures
and it's a favorite spot with
families - especially the
younger members.
Kids love the place - not
least because everything is
scaled down to their size.
They especially like
Mindand, a collection of
the tiny towns and villages
with harbors, airports,
churches and castles, all
made out of Lego bricks -
some 25 million!
There's a model of Cape
Kennedy too, complete
with rockets on the firing
pads and realistic sound ef-
fects.
Many of the layouts are
modelled after popular
tourist attractions such as
the canals of Amsterdam
and the fairtale castles of
the Rhine. The model of
Amalienborg the Danish
Queen's residence, is par-
ticularly impressive. The
"palace" is built from
900,00U Lego bricks and
despite its size, it looks
very much like the
original. (Amalienborg is
in Copenhagen, the Danish
capital. i
Other attractions include
a traffic school, a puppet
theatre and "Titania'$
Palace", an intricately
crafted dollhouse filled
with tiny furniture. But the
major drawing card, apart
from Sitting Bull. is the
giant sculpture of Mount
Rushmore.
Another of Bjorn
Richter's creations, this
model is made from one
and a half million bricks.
By carefully copying the
original with its four
presidents' faces, he has
created a monument that is
remarkably like the real
thing.
Legoiand is in Billund,
Jutland, near the factory
where the famous Lego
toys are made. It's open
from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
every day from May to
mid-September.

A Water Cruise
Where can you find a
totally relaxing vacation
where accommodation and
meals are prodded, dress
is always informal, televi-
sion- radio and organized
entertainment is taboo, and
spectacular scenery is con-
stantly changing before
your eyes"
Take an inland water
cruise' If you are looking
for a relaxing carefree and
happy go lucky vacation
this summer, plan to take a
cruise on Canada's historic
Canal System.
Inland waterway cruises
have long been a tradition
on the Mississippi river and
its tributaries. Romanticiz-
ed by the writings of Mark
Twain and the songs of
Show Boat, riverboats are
akin to apple pie in
American folklore. But
never really expanded due
to the advent of the family
car vacation, Caribbean
Cruises, and tourism
following the jet age to
worlds' across the seas.
Inland waterway cruises
are North America's
fastest growing tourist in-
dustry. Their popularity in
Ontario is perhaps due to
the nostaglia of following
the historic routes of early
explorers and pioneer set-
a`a�
Don't Drink and Drive
tiers or because
passengers are privy to the
most scenic waterways in
the world.
The new cruise boats
available today are
smaller than the original
riverboats that plied the
Mississippi, with
passenger accommodation
ranging from 20 to 5o
passengers. The ships pro-
vide small but comfortable
cabins equipped with two
berths and private
facilities. Each strip also
has a dining room, lounge
and plenty of outside deck
space.
Ontario Waterway
Cruises Inc. owned by the
Ackert family, operates
two inland water cruise
boats, the Kawartha
Voyageur on the Trent -
Severn and the Trent
Voyageur on the Rideau.
For four years these sturdy
riverboats have carried
delighted passengers on 5
day cruises on the Trent -
Severn Waterway between
Lake Ontario and the
Georgian Bay and on the
Rideau Canal between
Lake Ontario and Ottawa.
The season begins Vic-
toria Day weekend, May
23rd through to Thanksgiv-
ing, Oct. 13th.

Raise Age On
The age at which
snowmobile operators can
drive their vehicles across
a highway has been raised
from 14 to 16, Minister of
Transportation and Com-
munications Ed Fulton has
announced.
Fulton was making the
announcement on behalf of
Attorney -General Ian Scott
whose ministry introduced
the change to the Motorized
Snow Vehicles AM effec-
tive Dec. 18, 1996.
The amendment came
under the equal rights
statute in accordance with
the Canadian Charter of
Rights and Freedoms.
•" 11nis change brings the
age for operating
snowmobiles across
Snowmobiles
highways into line with cur-
rent requirements for the
operation of other motor
vehicles.- said Fulton.
"I also believe it will
have a positive effect by
keeping younger, less ex-
perienced snowmobile
operators away from the
road. '•
Under Ontario law,
operators can drive a
snowmobile on trails from
age 12, provided an approv-
ed course is completed and
they are in possession of a
valid operator's licence.
Last winter, eight
snowmobile operators
were killed and 159 injured
in highway -related ac-
cidents, Fulton concluded.

TRANSPORTATION GUIDE AVAILABLE
As part of the Ontario Incredible campaign, the PAinistry
of Transportation and Communications has come out with a
map that really gets you where you want to go.
The Ontario Intercity Transportation Guide for 1996/87
shows daily, and non -daily, sctiedliled air, bus and rail
Passenger services to over 250 of Ontario's larger com-
munities.
Cities identified in the directory also indicate which com-
panies provide the services, toll-free phone numbers to con-
tact
oo-tact for departure times, and addresses for places of depar-
ture. Also included is a travel time distance table.
The Ministry is providing the maps to promote Ontario
and get people to visit areas many might think hard to get
to.
For example, did you know Penetang Midland Coach
Lines and Gray Coach Lines stop at Currie's Gas Station in
Elmva)e on a daily basis?
Or that the only way to get to Moosenee is by air or rail?
Austin Airways and Ontario Northland Railway (ONR) are
the only available forms of public transportation in the
area.
So the next time you want to know how to get to Sainte
Marie Among the Hurons in Huronia, Niagara Falls or the
maple -lined streets and $9th century homes found in
Cobourg, the Ontario Intercity Transportation Guide will
Show you how to get there. They are available from any
Ministry of Transportation office.
By the way, thank you to all my constituents who have
taken the trouble to complete and mail the questionnaire
contained in my last newsletter. The response has been ter-
rific! Returns are still arriving• and it is still not too late to
mail it, but even ww, this is the largest response that I have
ever received
In the next short while, after tabulation of the results, I
shall report same to you and comment on those results.

Well we have started off the new year on a very positive
note, since the Bank of Canada rate fell to 7.74 percent last
week: This is the lowest level that it has been in a decade.
The chartered banks have lowered their prime lending rate
as well to 9.25 percent. the lowest level since 1978.
Interest rates have fallen significantly since the Pro-
gressive Conservative government was elected - the Bank
of Canada rate has fallen 4.64 percentage points since the
election in 1984.
Five year mortgage rates are down 3 1/2 percentage
points to 10.75 percent. One-year mortgage rates are down
3.75 percentage points to 9 1/2 percent: this represents a
saving of $122 per month or almost $1,500 per year on a
$50,000 loan. This is very welcome news to fust -time home
buyers, not to mention present homeowners.
The lower rates also benefit small business owners,
farmers and fishermen by giving them savings on their
loans which in turn improves their cash flow. With an un-
proved outlook, businesses can seriously consider either ex-
panding or just hiring that extra person that they have been
thinking about. As evidence of this, the Canadian Federa-
tion of Independent Business have advised that the number
of small business startups increased in the 1985-M fiscal
year by 11%. Naturally, this affects the unemployment rate
which is now 9.4%; down from 11.7% in September 1984.
Retailers, small businesses and manufacturers will be
pleased to note that consumer spending is rising, up by 8%
in the last year and up by an outstanding 22% since the elec-
tion in 1994.
Retailers, small businesses and manufacturers will be
pleased to note that consumer spending is rising, up by 8%
in the last year and up by an outstanding 22% since the elec-
tion in 1984.
All things considered, the outlook for Canadians as a
whole is very bright at the moment, and cynics who state
that this government isn't achieving anything do not know,
or do not care to look at the facts. It is very evident that the
Canadian economy is on an upswing, giving more oppor-
tunities to all.
