Q. Is Walt Disne} frozen' A. McD.
A. Lots of people think Walt Disney is frozen. Some say his
remains are beneath Dtsnevland or in a Salt Lake City deep
freeze. The Disney family never has said what it did with
Mr. Disney's body.
The premise of cryonics is that bodies may be preserved
at or before death by freezing and kept in a frozen state un-
til the technology of a future age can cure them of disease
or injury which is now untreatabie. At least 32 people have
been frozen but none of them are celebrities.
The rumor of Disney's cry•onic suspension has been cir-
culating since the cartoonist's death in 1966. It has turned
up in a 1973 book, The Paradise Program, by Anthony
Haden -Guest and in the pages of Playboy.
Walt Disney's death certificate is on file in the Los Angles
County registrar -recorder's office. It contains the informa-
tion that Disney's death was caused by cardiac arrest due
to bronchogenic carcinoma of the left lung (cancer of the
air passages of the left lung i, and that his body was
cremated at Forest Lawn, Glendale on December 17, 1966.
The death certificate does not sav what was done with the
remains, but generally the Forest Lawn mortuary is for
those who will be interred at Forest Lawn. Forest Lawn
personnel are exceptionally discreet and usually refuse to
say where famous people are buried.
William Poundstone, author of Big Secrets, located
Disney's gravesite. It is in the area known as the Court of
Freedom. Beside the Freedom Mausoleum, which contains
the remains of such celebrities as Gracie Allen and Larry of
the Three Stooges, is a small private garden enclosed with a
low wall and an unlocked gate. A metal plate on the wall
contains space for eight names. Walt Disney's name is in
the top space. His son-in-law, Robert B. Brown, is in the
third space. Walt Disney was cremated and interred
privately and has a perfectly ordinary gravesite

for you and us
Don't Be Fooled
By "Direct Direct Elections'
The various city governments inside Metro Toronto are
trying to come up with a new formula for running this
metropolitan area to improve it under pressure from the
provincial government.
Citizens, however, are not giving their representatives
their views on this important matter. When a public
meeting was called in Scarborough recently no one showed
up to voice an opinion! So if Queen's Park changes the
government at Metro radically against the wishes of the
public, therewill be only the public to blame.
Before it is too late let's take a look at local government.
For someone to run as mayor or controller over the whole
city of Scarborough for example, requires a lot of elec-
tioneering money. In fact, it must be more than a member
of Parliament must spend because an A'IP only has a
quarter of the city to represent. Perhaps it is time to have
the mayor and controllers elected from among the
aldermen elected from each ward. It would save candidates
a lot of money and put less people on council.
Now how about Metro Council. Who should go to that im-
portant body. Presently, the mayor, controllers and a few
aldermen named by their councils represent a city.
However, this adds up to 39 members of Metro Council and
this appears to be too many representatives. East York
wants a 28 member council, while Scarborough. Etobicoke
and fork fa your a 34 member council. In our opinion, Metro
Council should be as few members as possible, but repre-
sent the other councils not the public directly. If there were
direct election of Metro councillors. the necessary liaison
between local and Metro councils would break down.
The election of a Metro Chairman - or head person at
Metro Council - is currently done by the members of Metro
Council and the person named as chairman can be from
among the members or from outside. We believe this gives
flexibility to the system, and all the citizen needs is to know
that this chairman is responsible to the !Metro Council. It is
a powerful position. but can anyone visualize the cost of
having sonxww run for the job if we had a direct election
for the chairman from all the voters in Metro' It would cost
about $1 million to campaign and we do believe that this
goes against the principles of representative government.
Only wealthy people could run for this job then.
So, in conclusion. we suggest that Metro Council stay as it
is except the numbers on council be reduced to 28.

John Eakins. Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation,

in spurts and fitness A number of initiati%es will he carried
out oxer the next 1.i months and will be supported with
amendments to the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation
Act
The amendments will empower the Minister of Tourism
and Recreation to act in the public interest on safet mat-
ters in sports and fitness, and permit the minister to in-
tervene. if necessary, to prohibit the use of an unsafe sport
or fitness tacility• or to order an amateur sport or fitness
association to cease unsafe activities.
The amendments and the program initiatives are in
response to public concern about the increasing number of
injuries resulting from participation in amateur sports and
fitness programs. A number of safety priorities were iden-
tified by the Minis[n and the Sports Medicine and Sport
Safety Advisory Board. Part of the new program will
specifically address the safety issue in amateur hockey.
The Ministry will work with the Hockey Development Cen-
tre for Ontario to create a single governing body for the
sport aimed at providing uniformity in policy, coaching and
instructional programs at a provincial level.

For New Home Buyers
The Ontario New home Warranty Program has produced
a 24 -minute videotape entitled "What Every New Home
Buyer Should Know". Directed at house buyers, the %ideo
introduces them to the many steps involved in the purchase
of a new home. Much of the material is equally relevant to
those buying resale homes.
The video is designed to make home buyers better in-
formed, to help thug to make wise decisiarrs. It covers such
subjects as the offer to purchase, mortgage financing, how
to choose a bunlder. and haw to determine how much house
you can afford.
And it explains in detail the buyer's benefits and protec-
tion under the Ontario New Home Warranty Program. This
video is available for loan at public libraries across On-
tario. Interested groups who wish a special screening
should contact the Warranty Program in Toronto.
$69,400 Grant To
Grace Hospital
Alvin Curling, MPP
Scarborough North, has an-
nounced a Ministry of
Health grant to provide a

Scarborough Grace
Hospital for victims of sex-
ual assault.
The grant is one of 12 to
provide a network of sexual
assault treatment centres
across Ontario.
Total grants for the
twelve centres will add up
to more than $300,000.
"This is an important
and a most worthwhile
undertaking," said Mr.
Curling. "I am very pleas-
ed that we were able to pro-
vide these funds to Scar-
borough Grace Hospital,
and I know they will be put
to constructive use. The
victims of sexual assault
require immediate, com-
passionate care - and this
centre will ensure that kind
of care is available in Scar-
borough...

Grossman Wants A Fair Deal
The Liberal Government should move to offset the one
cent a litre increase in the federal excise tax on gasoline by
reducing the provincial gasoline tax by one cent, from 8.3
cents a litre to 7.3 cents a litre, says P.C. Leader Larry
Grossman.
Responding to the federal budget handed down by
Michael Wilson on Feb. 18, Grossman indicated his support
for deficit reduction at both the federal and provincial level.
"We can't go on spending billions of dollars on interest
payments on debts that have been alkmed to grow out of
control,.. Grossman says.
Grossman calls on Ontario Treasurer Robert Nixon to in-
troduce a budget which would reduce the size of govern-
ment, reject a provincial capital gains tax and support the
federal approach to trade issues

New Birth At Zoo
Metro Toronto Zoo's continuing commitment to conserva-

popotamus on Feb. 15th. This represents a significant cow
tribution to the world population of this rare and en-
dangered species. "Psi", the father, was born at the Na-
tional Zoo in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 23, 1972, and came to
the Metro Toronto Zoo on July 18, 1973. "Hilda" was torn at
the Basel Zoo in Switzerland on Mar. 13, 1972, and arrived at
her present home on Sept. 6. 1973. This is her fourth calf.
Native Group Awarded S250.9W To Buy Hotel
The Ontario Metis and tion -Status Indian Association has
received a $250,000 grant to help buy the 64 -room Norwest
Inn in Sault Ste. Mame. "This project comes at an oppor-
tune time in the development of tourism in Northern On-
tario. The association will soon be in the position to reap the
benefits from the industry's growth," said Lily Munro,
Minister of Citizenship and Culture.
The purchase is the first venture into the development
and hospitality industries for the 16 -year-old association.
Honour Achievements Of Seniors
The Hon. Ron Van Horne, Minister for Senior Citizens' Af-
fairs and M.P.P. for London North, has announced that the
Provincial Government will again honour individual
seniors with Ontario Senior Achievement Awards. This is
part of the Senior Citizens' Month celebrations held in Juane
each vear.
"Through these Senior Achievement Awards we want to
recognize and honour outstanding seniors who have made
significant contributions to our communities and to the
quality of life in Ontario," said Mr. Van Horne. People
wishing to nominate a senior citizen may contact the Office
for Senior Citizens' Affairs, 6th Floor, 76 College St.,
Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario, M7A 1N3 or call 965-5106 to
obtain a nomination form. Deadline for making nomina-
tions is April 15. 1987.
"The Government of Canada has not introduced an
amnesty to clear the backlog of refugee applicants,.'
Pauline Browes, M.P. for Scarborough Centre, said last
week after replying to a question raised in the House of
Commons by the Opposition.
In her response on behalf of Immigration Minister Gerry
Weiner, Browes pointed out that the administrative review,
which has been underway since May 21, 1986 to deal with
thousands of refugee applications, is examining each ap-
plication on a case-by-case basis. "Some 20% of all the ap-
plicants reviewed thus far have had their application re-
jected." Browes noted, "That. to me. does not represent an
amnesty. '
Brower added that the solution to the current immigra-
tion problems is not an amnesty. "I completely reject the
motion that in order to solve our immigration policies we
should follow the former government's practice of granting
an amnesty. Instead, we should move forward from the
steps that have already been taken to stop illegal immigra-
tion and treat those seeking to immigrate to Canada fairly
on a case-bv-case basis...
Early Daylight Saving
Municipal Affairs Minister Bernard Grandmaitre has
written to Ontario's 839 municipalities to remind them that
daylight saving time has been extended by three weeks.
Daylight saving time will begin on the first Sunday in April
and end on the last Sunday in October.
"This three-week extension on the spring is compatible
with, action taken in the United States earlier this year,"
said Mr. Grandmaitre.

Something dates this house,

No, it isn't the furniture. Nor the decor. It's the electrical outlet with its
cluster of wires and plugs.
"Octopus" outlets, heavy use of extension cords and blown fuses all
point to inadequate wiring. Rewiring and upgrading your home's electrical
system is the simple, safety -minded step that will bring your house up to
date. You'll have more switches and outlets where you really need them.
and better performance from your present appliances and those you'll add ir1

The cost of rewiring and electrical system upgrade is worth the

Trustees Reject School Giveaway
by Gay Abbate
Scarborough trustees
have turned thumbs down
on a request from the pro-
vincial ministry of educa-
tion and the Metro
Separate School Board to
hand over one of its schools
in the north-west to the
separate school board.
Board Chairman David
Owen would not identify
the school in question
because he does not want to
get the community upset
since the request was turn-
ed down.
However, the minutes
from the chairman's com-
mittee where the matter
was discussed privately
provides clues which nar-
row the school to one of
three in ward 11 -

man Bethune Collegiates

chroom facilities would in-

the school the separate
school board had its eye on
to relieve it-, overcrowding
problems.
Trustee David Horrox
confirmed that it was one
of these three schools. Hor-
rox said Scarborough
should not give up any of its
schools unless it has no use
for them. Even then. be
said. the Scarborough
Board should just lease the
schools to the separate
board.
"We have some schools
with as many as 13 por-
tables. There's no way we
would give up a school," he
said.
Last year, the separate
school board asked the
Scarborough board to
share space in Thomson
Collegiate on Lawrence
Ave. E. The board turned
the request down.
"If we had gone ahead
and given them some space
we would be in a real mess
now with this second re-
quest," said Trustee Hor-
rox.
He feels that neither
board would have been
happy with the arrange-
ment. "It would be a real
shotgun marriage."
Bill 30 which extended
public funding to the
separate school system
allows local boards to
decide whether they want
to give up a school to the
separate board.
However, the provincial
government can still step
in and force theScar-
borough board to surrender
one of its schools.

the private sector and the broader public sector. On Jan.
28th, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister Responsible
for Women's Issues, Chris ward, moved second reading on
the Ontario Government's pay equity legislation.
"The importance of this legislation cannot be
overestimated," Mr. Ward told the House as he opened the
debate. "This government has been unwavering in its com-
mitment to the principle of pay equity- --to the principle that
wages cannot and should not he 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."
Today, women make up 44 percent of the Ontario work
force. Today, these two million workers take home 66 cents
for every dollar earned by men. Mr. Ward also pointed out
that the Ontario Government's pay equity legislation is
designed so that employers' costs are minimized and
spread over a number of years.

third quarter report on Ontario's finances. The estimated
revenue for the province is up by $919 million from the
Budget Plan.
Of this $919 million in new revenues, $724 million will be
spent on new programs. Mr. Nixon said this money will go
to transportation commitments, health, education, as well
as social services.
Mr. Nixon said $195 million will be used to reduce the pro
vincial deficit.
Personal income tax, strong consumer spending and the
continued strength of the housing market have contributed
to the increase in revenue for Ontario. As well, strong
growth in Lotto 6 49 sales has boosted Lottery profits, off-
setting the reduced profits of the LCBO and a $17 million
reduction in the estimate of Gasoline Tax revenue.
CAPITAL FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS INCREASED
Education Minister Sean Conway recently announced a
$20 million increase in capital funding for school boards for
1986-87. This increase, which will bring the total to $127,
million, will address the needs of high-growth areas across
Ontario.
"I am very pleased that we are able to further address
the capital needs of our schools with these additional
funds," Mr. Conway said.
This increase in capital funding is in keeping with the On-
tario Government's cous
nmitment to address the serious
underfunding of our education system that had existed for
much of the past decade.

Transplanting
Seedlings
Timing can be critical
when transplanting seedl-
ings. If left too long. roots
may be severed and plants
lost because of competition
for light and food. Here are
some hints for easier
transplanting.
As soon after germina-
tion as possible — general-
ly when the second set of
leaves appear — lift a
group of row of seedlings
and separate their root
system with a nitpicker,
pencil or plant label. Han-
dle the seedlings by the
edge of one of its leaves so
you will not damage the en-
tire plant if the leaf is ac-
cidentally
scidentauy crushed.
Plant the seedlings in
separate containers. Jiffy
Pots, Peat Pellets or
Plastic Cell Packs are
recommended as the seedl-
ings can easily be
transplanted into the
garden, eliminating the
possibllity of root damage.
Seedlings will develop
proper growth if planted in
a loose, well -drained
prepared soil mixture such
as Redi-Earth which con -
tins Peat Moss, Perlite and
Vermiculite. This will pro-
vide the necessary friable
mixture for good growth.
Press the soil down to
remove air pockets.
Water the seedlings just
enough so they do not dry
out completely. Grow in
cool soil at 15-18'C
(55-65" F) under brightly lit
conditions (fluorescent
lights are ideal for this
growth period) and fer-
tilize with soluble plant
food at half strength to pro-
mote healthy growth.

transplanting techniques,

plies Catalogue, write:

Tourism Shows Up Strong
On the heels of one of the
most successful years
since the early 1970's, the
Ontario Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation is
launching its spring
tourism marketing cam-
paign, Minister responsible
John Eakins has announc-
ed.
'-fhe introduction of the
'Ontario Incredible' cam-
paign last year helped at-
tract tremerido s numbers
of visitors to all areas of the
province," Eakins said.
•1be interest of travellers,
not only from Ontario but
from the United States and
abroad has been so great,
1987 can only promise to be
an excellent year.'
This year the Ministry
will continue its successful
'Ontario Incredible' theme
which spotlights the many
attractions and vacation
possibilities available to
travellers. The spring
tourism marketing cam-
paign pictures Ontario as
an exciting place to visit
that offers lots to see and
do.
A strong media cam-
paign will be aimed at at-
tracting people from all
parts of Ontario, Quebec,
Manitoba, and the United
States. Television, radio,
newspapers and special in-
terest magazines will show
why Ontario is such a
special place to visit.
Preliminary figures for
last year show there was a
12 percent increase in On-
tario residents who travell-
ed within their own pro-
vince compared with 1985.
The number of visitors
from other provinces rose
by 56 percent, from the
United States five percent
and from other countries,
24 percent.
The rise in tourism ac-
tivity means visitors have
been spending more money
in the province, an 11 per-
cent increase overall in
1986 over 1986. Ontario
residents vacationing in
the province increased
their spending by almost to
percent, Americans by
eight percent, those from
other provinces by 14 per-
cent, and travellers from
other countries, by sl per-
cent.
"My Ministry forecasts
more people will visit On-
tario this year compared
with 1986," Eakins said.
"The spring marketing
campaign will help ensure
that success."
Honour
Politicians
Two provincial politi-
cians from different par-
ties were honoured by the
Ontario Real Estate
Association (OREA) for
their efforts in support of
private property rights at
the 65th annual conference
held last week.
The two, Herb Epp,
(Liberal, Waterloo North)
and Cam Jackson, (PC -
Burlington South) have
been on the leading edge of
the fight for entrenchment
of individual property
rights in the new constitu-
tion.
Epp's resolution calling
on the federal government
to proceed with entrench-
ment was passed by the
Legislature last November
by a more than 2 to 1
margin.
Jackson, formerly the
executive officer of the
Hamilton Real Estate
Board, was one of the
founders of OREA's
Private Property Week
held annually and, under
his leadership the board
won several awards for its

Jackson was first elected to
the Ontario Legislature in
1985.
The association recently
celebrated its seventh an-
nual Private Property
Week - a week designed to
inform the general public
a bout their property rights
and to call attention to the
lack of property rights pro-
tection in the new caostitu-
t ion.

'ario in 1980. Private Pro-

Ontario Minister of
Tourism and Recreation.
John Eakins has announc-
ed.
The programs have been
extended into 1967 and 1968,
however, changes have
been made to both pro-
grams, which are ad-
ministered by the Ontario
Development Corporations
on behalf of the Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation.
TRIP is a loan guarantee
program for new construc-
tion, expansion and
upgrading of tourism
facilities throughout the
province. The maximum
loan is $1 million for new
projects or $750,000 for a
first-time loan for existing
operations. The loan is
guaranteed to 90 percent of
the principal.
As a new condition of
loan assistance under the
TRIP program, applicants
will have to provide a plan
of reasonable access and
facilities for disabled per-
sons.
"Tourism Ontario, which
represents the industry,
has called the TRIP pro-
gram the 'most productive•
best -leveraged public in-
vestment ever created in
this country'," Eakins
said. "TRIP and the
Grading Assistance loans
have improved the quality
of tourism facilities across
Ontario. They are being ex-
tended because of their
3acking
tremendous economic
benefit to the tourism in -
"try.
The grading program is a
star -rating system for roof-
ed accommodations, such
as hotels, motels and
resorts. The Grading
Assistance Loans en-
courage operators to
.upgrade their facilities and
provide better accom-
modations for tourists.
In 1997, the program will
be modified by raising the
loan limit from $50,000 to
$100,000 and by making
loans available to opera-
tions with annual revenues
not exceeding $1.5 million,
up from the previous limit
of $1 million.
Over 900 properties are
now participating in the
grading program and $1
million has been set aside
for this program in 1987.
Anyone interested in ap-
plying for a loan under the

Bill Watt's Worlds
NITS LIFE:
At first exposure, Berlin,
Toronto's newest late night
club might appear to be
simply another standard
ghzzeria destined for an in-
itial enthusiasm of the
night life crowd and an ear-
ly demise - say, six or
seven months - into the
false dawn of yet another
club that has failed to make
it.
Second thoughts, suggest
that Berlin might not suffer
such a fate. It has several
things going for it.
First, there's the loca-
tion. Berlin is on the site
and premises of the former
Variety Dinner Theatre on
Yonge just above Eglinton.
Now, the Yonge-Eglinton
intersection has an abun-
dance of restaurants and
clubs but none where one
can keep an
There are evening many
me
where one can relax and
wild down after horns but
none, so far as we are
aware, where one can keep
going. Score one for Berlin.
It offers music, dancing.
entertainment and food till
1 a.m. through Thursday
and until 3 a.m. an Fridays
and Saturdays.
Then there is the
availablilty of the TfC's all
night Blue Service which
means no one needs to
drive home with perhaps
that extra drink that is a
potential killer.
Finally. there is the vir-
tual certainty that we are
soon to have later drinking
hours in any case. (isn't it
marvellous the things that
can be accomplished by a
government that wasn't
even elected! )
So. Berlin has something
extra going for it that
earlier clubs have not.
We can't truly comment
on the club itself. We were
there on opening night but
must refrain from any
critical assessment. It was
a real mob scene; ten
minutes to deck one's coat
(not the attendants' fault),
ten minutes waiting for a
drink at the bar, ten
minutes waiting to get
one's coat again etc. etc.
The band was probably
good but we couldn't tell
because it was so loud.
As for the food, we quick-
ly abandoned any hope of
sampling any and simply
departed past the sear-
chlights into the chill night
air.
Oh, we'll go back but we
suggest there is no hurry;
we repeat our belief that
Berlin is going to make it
and that there is no hurry
for a second visit.
Still, we thought The
Bunny Place on the Dan-
forth might have made it
too.
IN PRINT:
The Cross -Time
Engineer ( Ballantine) by
Leo Frankowski is the first
in a proposed series of
adventures of Conrad
ItIt gborrows heavily from
Wells and Twain as it com-
bines elements of The Time
Machine and Connecticut
Yankee.
Conrad Schwartz is hik-
ing in the mountains of
Poland when he finds
himself transported back
to the Poland of 1231 A.D. It
becomes apparent to him
that there are forces, of
which he had been
unaware, responsible for
his situation; forces that
are in charge of preserving
recorded history. He has
only ten years in which to
transfer Poland into a
modern nation in order to
repel an impending inva-
sion of Mongols.
It's an amusing book and
quite informative as well.
Mr. Frankowski has done
Ins homework well and his
insights into medieval
Poland are fascinating par-
ticularly a hint as to how
cotton came to the country.
We look forward to the
rest of the series. Not great
literature you understand
but most interesting and
enjoyable.
SMART SET:
Vanity Fair magazine
has referred in print to
".Details" as "ultra -hip'
Newsweek calls it
vivacious and even Time
magazine has more or less
grudgingly described it as
"the smartest style
magazine in the country"
We suggest you can
determine for yourself on
Mar. 26th when "Details"
previews its Spring issue at
The Cops. There will be a
fashion show, New York
style food and dancing pro-
vided by Anita Sarko.
Those who are not
familiar with New York Ci-
ty will perhaps not
recagrhine the name but
those who are in the know
will be aware that she is the
D.J. for the Palladium's
Mike Todd Room and con-
sidered to be the most in-
fhhentW in the U.S. rather
in the manner of the now
departed Dynamite Joe.
It should be quite an
evening - yes indeed - and
the admission price is quite
modest. Call Bass or The
Cape for details.
Beat it Regine's' We're
on our way to The Cops for
Anita Sarko. Wonder if
there'll be any muffins
from the San Moritz.
STRING TIME:
No, that's not a misprint.
Yes, we know that Spring
arrives this Friday but the
arrival of which we speak
will be on Thurs. Apr. 20d.
That's when Itzhak
Perlman will be in recital
at Roy Thomson Hall.
Mr. Perlman is arguably
the world's finest violinist -
certainly he is the most
popular and recorded - and
his local appearances are
occasions of joy.
Also at RTH Apr. 8th
through the 11th will be ap-
pearances by Pinchas
Zukerman as conductor

BEST WISHES:
Contrary to what many
believe, the world of show
business and the perform-
ing arts in particular is a
physically rough one. Con-
sider George De Souza.
George has been appearing
at Dick Turpin's for three
years now, four hours a
night, six days a week. We
sometimes wind up at Tur-
pin's to wind down at the
end of a long day and
always marvel at the
energy of the man.
He sings and plays but,
even more, he gets the au-
dience to sing along uith
him and the room becomes
a happy place.
Well, George's energy
finally ran out on him and
he collapsed on stage
recently. He was
hospitalized and told he
must rest until the end of
,April. He is doing so and his
place is being taken by
Adam Timson.
All of us wish George a
speedy recovery.
ON AIR:
Fans of the Royal Cana-
dian Air Farce will be
pleased to know that the
troupe will be appearing at
the Markham Theatre on
Mar. 27th with air dates of

Spa Or Hot Tub? Options
The first hot tub in North
America appeared in the
1950s in Santa Barbara
where some imaginative
ex -GIs converted some old
wooden wine vats into hot
tubs — similar to the hot
tubs they had - used in
Japan. It was the start of
the modern hot tub/spa in-
dustry which has recently
become popular across
Canada and United States.
Today the industry has
grown far beyond con-
verted wine tubs, and con-
sumers can find a large
number of hot tubs and
spas on the market.
What's the difference?
What's the difference
between a spa and a hot
tub? A hot tub is a water-
tight wooden container
designed to hold 300 to 1,000
gallons of water and one to
12 people. It may be round,
oval or rectangular, with
straight or slanted sides.
Most hot tubs have a
heater, pump and filter —
called support equipment
— to keep the water hot and
clean. Many also have
hydrotherapy jets. called
hydrojets, or air bubblers
to create a bubbly water ef-
fect.
A spa is operated and us-
ed like a hot tub. It also
uses similar heating and
filtering systems.
Spa shells are usually
manufactured of either a
vacuum formed acrylic
material or constructed of
concrete of gunite on site.
In the acrylic spa
models, which are the most
popular in Canada. there
are a variety of designs,
colours and sites. Desism
shapes range from squares
and rectangles through
rounds, pears, kidneys and
octagons. Multi-level
seating, recliners and
loungers are available
features.
Standard colours include
blue, brown and black mar-
ble, solid blue, bone and se-
quoia. Spa sizes start with
the intimate two person
model and go to sizes that
will hold 10-12 persons com-
fortably.
For the hot tubs, you can
buy expertly crafted round
wooden tubs in a variety of
woods — redwood, cedar,
mahogany and teak.
Where can you put them?
Most spas and hots tubs
can be installed, inspected
and ready to use within a
couple of weeks. You can
put them indoors or out —
below ground, partially
below ground or complete-
ly above ground. You'll
find spas and hot tubs on
patios, decks and roofs, in
family rooms, basements
and greenhouses — almost
any location conducive to a
relaxing soak.
Increasingly popular are
the portable or self-
contained spas which can
be set in the backyard. on a
patio or set up indoors.
When the time comes to
move or change houses. the
portable spa can be taken
with you. Portable spas

A new innovation is a

New Growth
Resumes With
Coming Of
Spring
winter brings lower light
intensity and daylength to
plants growing in window
light, causing them to slow
their rate of growth. To
compensate for this, they
should not be watered or
fertilized as frequently so
as not to force growth dur-
ing this prod.
As the light increases in
length and intensity in late
February. plants should be
brought out of their dor-
mant condition gradually
by increased watering and
fertilizing with a water
soluble fertilizer such as
Plant Prod 15-1518. This
will improve the ap-
pearance of the plant and
increase the rate and quali-
ty of growth -
Late winter is also an er-
ceAerrt time for repotting
plants since the revitaliza-
tion of their growth over-
comes any setbacks

causes. Cutting taken from
the new growth on house
plants as well as over -
wintered geraniums are
best rooted now. To pro-
mote quicker and better
roots, use Plant Product
Stim-Root or Wilson's Li-
quid Gel. Always use a
sterile, moisture -retaining
medium such as Redi-
Earth to root cuttings.
Insect pests also start to
multiply at this time and
keep Safer's Insecticidal
Soap handy for their con-
trol is a good idea. Plants
should be sprayed every
five to seven days starting
as soon as insects are fust
noticed. Always follow
label directions for safe use
of pest control and fer-
tilizer products.

Report
from
Queen's
Park
By George Ashe, MPP Durham West
..................................
MUNICIPAL ELECTION CHANGES PROPOSED
Candidates for Town, school board and public utility
posts should disclose campaign costs and donations within
six months of voting day says the final report of the provin-
cial Advisory Committee on Municipal Election, released
last month.
The report recommends that failure to do so would mean
automatic expulsion from office, ineligibility to seek office
for six years and forfeiture of candidate's deposit.
The report also recommends that no business or in-
dividual, except the candidate or spouse, can donate more
than $750 per year in cash, goods or services to a municipal
election campaign.
In addition, spending by candidates would be limited by
the number of eligible electors. The larger the electorate
the larger maximum spending limit.
Other recommendations include:
• making campaign contributions tax deductible at the
municipalities' option,
• a change in polling day from the second Monday in
November to the third Tuesday in October.
• a short one month residential requirement in order to
vote.
The Committee says that its recommendations reflect
dernarnds from electors for more accountability from their
municipal politicians. Progressive Conservative municipal
Affairs Critic Peter Partington, M.P.P. for Brock, says
"the proposals are sound and should be implemented as
soon as possible...
Municipal Affairs Minister Bernard Grarndrnaitre plans
to introduce a bill before the end of the year that will make
all, or at least some of the proposals law. This will give
municipal clerks enough tine to adjust to the cbanges
before the 1988 muncipal elections.
Speaking
To You
Scott Fennel M.P.
Ontario Riding
Since I was elected the Member of Parliament of Ontario
Riding in 1979. I have always found that I have never had
enough time to talk to everyone that I wanted to, as well as
be everywhere that I am needed. I didn't realise when I was
appointed Chid Government Whip by the Prime Minister,
that I would find myself with even less time at my disposal.
If only there were more hours in the day!
I was appointed Chid Government Whip in November
1985. and my new responsibilities, in addition to my continu-
ing duties in Ontario Riding. have made my day -today ac-
tivities a scheduling nightmare. I am often asked by my
constituents what my Parliamentary dirties actually entail,
and I would like to take this opportunity to give you a brief
outline.
From my office in the Centre Block of the House of Com-
mons, 1 manage the vital machinery of Parliament that
adopts the laws by which we all live. My office is basically
the "nerve centre" of the Progressive Conservative
Caucus. I am responsible for the day-to-day activities of all
Government Members of Parliament, and I answer to the
Prime Minister. My job is to know where all the Members
of Parhamexnt are, and what they are doing and to make
sure they are in the House of Commons when they are sup-
posed to be there. I am responsible for 26 standing commit-
tees and about 15 legislative committees. I try to make sure
that the chairmen of these committees are being effective,
and as well as the members. I select which members will be
participating in the standing and legislative committees,
and I try to fit the right people into the right spot. I feel that
if you believe in a person and you let them do their job, and
support fin. they are going to do the job well.
As the Prime Minister's caucus "ombudsman", I am
usually the first to know about any difficulties individual
members might be having. If there is a problem, I attempt
to work out a solution that is satisfactory to all concerned. I
have to know everything about everybody: what they are
doing; their personal concerns their personal problems;
how they are doing m their riding, and how they are doing m
the Howse of Commons. The Whip's office has an immense
record keeping function that tells me, (and the Prime
M;nister), how each member is doing in the House, how
often they are there, how many times they speak, how
many times they ask questions in Question Period. I let my
colleagues know what their record is, and if it isn't good, I
try to encourage them to get more involved in debate.
As I first mentioned, my days are very busy as Chief
Government Whip, but I enjoy the challenges that the posi-
tion provides.
