Dry ice is an excellent refrigerant_ It is actually compos- ed of carbon dioxide, which at normal temperature becomes a gas. Carbon dioxide is stored and shipped as a li- quid by keeping it under tremendous pressure. In order to make dry ice, the liquid is withdrawn from the tank and allowed to evaporate in a porous bag at room temperature and pressure. This rapid evaporation con- sumes so much heat that part of the liquid CO2 freezes to a temperature of 109° Fahrenheit. Looking something like snow, the frozen CO2 is compressed by machine into blocks which can be sold and which, in time, will melt back to gas. Q. While camping I like to fish. How long can I keep the fish I catch before they are unsafe to eat? S.S. A. Soon after being caught the fish should be cleaned and thoroughly washed. If you do not eat them immediately, you should wrap them tightly and store them in a cooler with ice. Cock and eat the fish within the next 24 hours. Q. When does the harvest moon exist? H.H. A. It is the full moon which occurs nearest the sun's autum- nal equinox (September 22 or 23 i . The harvest moon rises at about the same time for many successive evenings. In the northern hemisphere, it rises about the same time as the sun sets. Enough light is provided to allow harvesters addi- tional hours to perform their chores.

This has placed a tremendous strain on the Rosslard Rd. W. facility, originally built by the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion in 1900. In 1959, the numerous small boards operating in the area amalgamated to form the Ontario County Board of Education.

Joint Meeting Held Minutes of the joint meeting on Feb. 17th of the Durham Board of Educa- tion and the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board were presented and reviewed.

Do You Use Bottled Water? A good idea but costly. It costs $1.99 for 4 litres. $6.00 for 18 litres in most supermarts, however with your own water distiller you can produce pure water for only pennies a day.

On behalf of the many recipients of the services this money will help to fund, she thanked Durham Board of Education staff and students for their generous support. Trustees praised this year's Chair- man, Ridgeway PS Prin- cipal Neil Wortman, for his efforts in co-ordinating the campaign for the area's public and separate school boards, Durham College and independent schools.

Board Pays Tribute to Farmer Director Trustees observed a mo- ment of silence in honour of the memory of former Director of Education George L. Roberts, who passed away March 7th. A former engineer and teacher, George Roberts served as Vice -Principal and then Principal of O'Neill CVI before becom- ing the fust Principal of R.S. McLaughlin CVI, in 1961. He then served as Superintendent of Secon- dary Education for the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion until his appointment as Director in 1969, a posi- tion he held until his retire- ment in 1971. G.L. Roberts CVI, Oshawa, was named in his honour. Trustees observed that the growth and develop- ment of education in Durham Region and in On- tario owed much to the dedication of George Roberts during his many years as an educator and administrator.

Mar. 25, 1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Ridiculous Strike The North York civic workers on strike against the tax- payers of that city are acting in a very puzzling way. They claim that they are lower paid than other similar workers in adjoining Metro municipalities, but when they published a list of the hourly rates there seems to be only a few cents difference. Of course, ignoring that outside workers in Scarborough have just signed a pay agreement which is very similar to the one which North York workers rejected, we can see that expensive City of Toronto has higher pay schedules than the rest. But taxpayers of North York must be puzzled about the theory espoused by the civic workers that they should have equal pay to the City of Toronto. If this is the new wave of pay requests, it must mean that workers in the public sector have run out of ideas for more pay. Working on the theory that everyone doing the same job should get identical pay means ignoring the length of ser- vice, the quality of work done by one worker or another - and the most important factor - the ability of the organiza- tion to pay such wages. If the civic workers were employed by private enterprise they could be on strike for the rest of time because their pay schedules are already miles ahead of most small private enterprises operating in Metro Toron- to. More salary costs in an organization usually means more revenue is needed or staff must be cut to save the dif- ference. In private business the staff is reduced. In govern- ment the taxpayers are asked to cough up more loot for well-paid employees. You figure it out' .,..............--- ... ....._.... Bob's Notes Celebrates 90th Anniversary This year marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Victorian Order of Nurses for Canada and of its largest branch. V.O.N. of Metropolitan Toronto. The Victorian Order of Nurses is a non-profit health organization whose primary function is providing nursing service to people in their home. It is a United 1b'av member agency. Last year. Metro Toronto branch V.O.%. nurses made over 4W.000 visits. serving over 15.000 patients. The services provided by V.O.N. include instructing diabetics to administer in- sulin. helping with bathing, dressing wounds, or assisting a mother with her newborn. The Metro Toronto V.O.N. also provides services to shut-ins, palliative care. foot care climes and monitoring of respiratory patients. Stop Bill 154 Dear Sir. We'd like to alert your readers to how the Ontario govern- ment's proposed Bill 154 will take away some of our I, is and cross many woods their jobs. The government says Bill 154 will achieve "pay equity". btN like rent controls the bill's unintended consequences will be dmastrous. Bill 154 will result in much higher costs for business and that means higher prices. Higher prices will mean lower sales. Lower sales will mean fewer jobs for many workers in Ontario. Bill 154 will also casae higher taxes and bigger govern- ment because it will need an army of bureaucrats to ad- minister it. Bill 154 will also violate a number of our cherished in- dividual freedoms. For instance, under Bill 154's powers, pay police will be created who will have the power to enter businesses without a warrant. These pay police will have the power to search• seize and remove private business records. These pay police can then compare completely dif- ferent jobs using arbitrary guidelines set by a handful of cabinet ministers. The pay police can then dictate to businesses what they must pay for the jobs. The Ontario legislature resumes April 21 and Bill 154 could come up for final reading soon afterward. We urge all citizens in Ontario who are concerned about their freedoms to telephone or ATite to their MPPs and give then this message: "Stop Bill 154's pay police' " Sincerely.

COLIN BROWN Canadian Defence Minister Perrin Beatty has strongly reaffirmed Canada's commitment to NATO and the testing of the cruise missile, flatly rejecting calls to make Canada a nuclear free zone. In a recent speech in Toronto he said that opting out of NATO would not be consistent "with our proud history, our beliefs and our responsibilities as a democratic and sovereign nation". Beatty's vigorous defence of our involvement in the Western alliance is his answer to the NDP which advocates pulling out of NATO and to the Liberals who recently passed a resolution to make Canada a nuclear free zone. Adopting a nuclear free zone policy would be a major step toward neutrality. The supporters of neutrality have touch in common with the isolationists of the 1930s. Like the isolationists, the neutralists do not believe Canada has any business defending the freedoms of other nations and that our country will be safe from military attack if it remains aloof from world politics. The neutralists often justify tbetr doctrine by arguing that there a a moral equivalence between the Soviet Union and the United States. The two super -powers it is argued, are equally immoral and Canada is better off going its own way. One of the strongest proponents of neutrality has been jountahst Gwynn Dyer. Through his newspaper columns and as National Film Board produced television shows. Dyer argues that military alkasces kad to wit and that as long as Cauda has troops in Europe we risk conflict thele. Dyer's seats is have gained Popularity annong some tateBectual and pobtinl circles. Neutrality. for example, is sow being pushed by several —p -- s 11 These neo-isotationists, fail to understand however. that Canada's ora self-interest makes neutrality impossible. As Be:aay noted Canada's security is DAVID SOMERVILLE enhanced when the defence of Western Europe is assured. "We are not in NATO and in Europe because of a spirit of altruism," said Beatty. "We are there because our interests as a nation require us to be there and because the loss of a free Europe would be a grave blow to our ability to maintain our democratic freedoms here in Canada". Also, history has shown that neutral countries are not safe from Soviet agression. In 1939 for instance, neutral Finland was invaded and brutally conquered by the Soviets who were at that time allies of the Nazis. More recently, neutrality did not save Afghanistan from the Soviet Red Army which has killed oro million Afghans and turned 4 million others into refugees. Finally. Canadians do see a moral difference between the Soviets and the Western democracies and it is put of Canada's proud tradition to support the values of democracy and oppose totalitarianism. That is why the Canadian people recognize the importance of a strong defence. A rector Gaqup poll. for example. showed that by more than a two to one mugin. Canadians disagree with the policy of neutrality. Another poll shouted that by a ratio of two to one, more Canadians would increase rather than decrease the amount of awaey spent an defence and the atoned forces. Fortunately. Canada's present government reoig izes the drawbacks of sea -alignment which in reality is just another farm of -g l; 1.

Festival Of Language Student literacy skills at 16 Scarborough public schools received a boost recently as Area 10 students took part in the se- cond annual Festival Of Language. The festival heightened the students' awareness of language, and the results are on display at R. H. King Collegiate from Apr. 6 to 10, says one of the organizers, Sue Gross. The exhibition in the school's Heritage Room, brightly decorated with books, posters and signs, was created by students. Aim of the project is to "entrance language across the ctr•riculu in and create a wider language base for students and teachers," Ms. Gross says. Every student took part in a Festival of Language project, whether it be, for example, writing a poem, a skit or choral reading, she says. The official opening takes place on Mon.

Michael Wilson, Minister of Finance, announced that tariff increases on a [umber of imported products, imposed June 6. 1996, in response to an American tariff levied on Canadian exports of red cedar shakes and shingles, have been removed, ef- fective February 19, 1997. This action restores duty-free entry into Canada for books, computer parts and semiconductors, and Christmas trees. The previous rates of duty for a wide range of other products, which were applied before June 6, 1996, are reinstated. In June of last year, Canada adopted a two -fold response to the protectionist U.S. action against Canadian cedar shakes and shingles. In so doing, the Minister of Finance stated that, "We took measures to increase tariff rates on a number of goods imported principally from the U.S. We also tightened controls on the export to the United States of cedar logs and bolts." As a result, the U.S. tariff did not enhance the com- petitiveness of the U.S. shakes and shingles industry, although it did increase the cost of these materials to American consumers. At the same time, the competitive position of the Canadian industry was protected. The federal government received numerous petitions asking for repeal of the tariff on imported books. Before taking such action, however, it had to be satisfied that the objectives for which it had originally been imposed were met. This now being the case. the tariff has been lifted. ------------------------------------------ i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year! i A year's subscription to one of these newspapers ' SCARBOROUGH AGINCOURT WEST HILL MALVERN ' news news news news ' CHECK THE NORTH YORK EAST END _r.

First there was the play about Felix and Oscar. Then there was the movie version followed by two television presentations; one White, one Black. Now it's back as a play again this time with Florence (one wonders why not Felicia) and Olive. Possibly the pattern will repeat and maybe even ex - tad; a musical perhaps. Hopefully thou it will not extend to Felix and Oscar meet Frankenstein and the Wolfman. Currently at the ex- cellent Stage West Theatre Restaurant, Sandy Dennis and Stella Stevens are ap- pearing as Florence and Olive (Well. it ain't Stan and 011ie!). Both do well considering the challenge each must face of overcom- ing physical �Ssimilarities. We fmd it difficult to ac- cept the svelte and glamourous Miss Stevens as the slovenly Olive and Miss Dennis, who is now rather uh, dumpy. isn't one's physical image of the neat, dapper Florence Felix. Notwithstanding, they breathe a freshness into the roles and in some of their scenes together are hilarious. They do so moreover, while staying with the crisp lines of the author. Oh, schtick is not eschewed entirely - the bit with the vacuum cleaner is pure Minsky - but it is essential Simon augmented by fine performer that tames through. For once, Miss Dennis' hesitant speech becomes part of a character and not the annoying distraction it has been known to be in the past. Similarly Miss Stevens' vulgarisms, well boned on Flamingo Road become almost the essen- tial Olive/ Oscar. The poker game has become Trivial Pursuit. Obviously Mr. Simon does not know Bridge or be would have milked the rich potential humour of that game. Imagine someone in the bridge game saying "Who's Dummy?" and Felicia making an en- trance. Ready anytime you are Mr. Simon. The other three players in the game closely match the originals. Murray the cop is now Mickey the police woman and Vinnie and Speed are Vera and Renee. Peggy Mahon is true to her role and Alana Shields is properly acerbic as Renee. It is Judith Goodwin however, as the simple Vera whom one notices. Simple and kind; not too bright, she is simple kind- ness personified. Quite a winning performance. The English Pidgeon sisters have become the Spanish Costazuela brothers played by Damon Redfern and Anthony Bekenn for full exploitation of comedic values. Indeed, one might well sum up this production of The Odd Couple that way .. us at any rate, to have gone maximum exploitation of far beyond the bounds of humour. propriety.

Certainly it has its funny moments but we find the core of the humour rather disturbing. Can it be legitimate amusement to watch the fumbling efforts of a humbling couple trying to raise an infant .. an in- fant that has been kidnap- ped from a set of quin- tuplets? Does no one in the au- dience ever think about the anguish of the parents? Does no one really care that one of the "adoptive" parents is a store robber? Are we showing our age?

Arrangements are also sleek delta -winged Air Exploring Australia's Red Centre There are many reasons to visit Australia these days from the 1988 world Exposition and the BicenteroiW celebrations, to soaking up the sun at the beam resorts, or exploring some of the world's most unique wildlife and scenery - An increasingly popular attraction for the adven- turous is the breathtaking desert region of the Nor- thern Territory. which is accessible from the toren of Alice Springs. Alice Springs is located in the geographical centre of the vast Australian con- tinent and the arra whim surrounds it is a vast desert of burned red sand that gives rise to the name Red Centre". As the focal point for the outback cattle industry. Alice springs combines the vigour of the frontier life with the conveniences of modern facilities. It is the ideal tourism base to see the unique landformns of the "Red Centre" and to ex- perience the traditional aboriginal lifestyle. With the help of* an aboriginal family, Rod Steinert, a native of Alice Springs, who has learned to live in the bussu, offers a number of day tours through and around the area. These day trips are designed to give visitors a glimpse of the traditional lifestyle and culture of the aboriginals of the Red Cen- tre. Steinert's Wildlife and Cattle Station Tour gives visitors an opportunity to see a working cattle station and the unique bird and animal life of Central Australia at the same time. The seven hour tour in- cludes a relaxing journey through the back country to visit the natural habitat of Australian wildlife and the original homesteads of ear- ly settlers. Finishing at the present- day, fully -operational cat- tle station community with a campfire meal of homemade stew, this tour is a great way to ex- perience the Australian Outback. The Ntyake Tour is led by an aboriginal man and woman who stow their visitors orienteering methods, bow to recognize animal tracks, build shelter and identify and prepare edible foods in the bush, all witbout the help of modern conveniences. Adventurous par- ticipants can taste witchet- ty grubs, an aboriginal delicacy found only in Cen- tral Australia. fresh yams cooked in ashes and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. This fascinating tour lasts from 9 a.m. until late afternoon. The Dreamtime Tour (half-day) is named after the aboriginal legends sur- rounding the origin of life. According to these legends, the country was once a vast feature -less land inhabited by giant spirit creatures. The Dreamtime Tour is an interpretation of the legends d the Aboriginal Dreamtime. Visitors sam- ple billy tea, bush cake and witchetty grubs while wat- ching aboriginal people making and using various weapons and implements. An ideal sequel to the Dreamtime Tour is the Ewaninga Tour whim also lasts half a day. Rod Steinert guides par- ticipants through and around the McDonnell Ranges, pointing out geological features and ex- plaming their meaning and significance in the eyes of the aboriginal people. Rod takes his group to an ancient ceremonial ground called Imula, to see magnificent rock paintings and, at the end of the tour, he takes everyone to the fr- inge of the great Simpson Desert to see the ancient Ewaninga rock carvings. on their final day in Alice, visitors can take ad- vantage of the Alice Farewell. This tour in - eludes visits to local historical sites. museums and attractions, including the Picchi Richi native bird sanctuary: lunch and a tour of Central Australia's only winery, Chateau Horn- sby: and a visit to see the restoration work on the Old Ghan locomotives.

What has not been apparent is that it should never even have been considered; that it was just a matter of time before disaster struck it or some other space craft. What we find most shock- ing is that many of the of- ficials who were directly responsible for the disaster have been re -appointed to "rebuild" NASA presumably in the Spirit of "go and sin no more". Author Malcolm McCon- ne-11 has dome his research well and the book is written with a minimum of sensa- tionalism. We suggest he's guilty of some over- simplification but suggest also that the overwhelming weight of evidence that he has accumulated is enough to make even the most un- biased jump to early con- clusions. Notwithstanding our per- sonal feelings - and we do try not to let them influence our reviews - it remains that NASA was suffering internal rot. The hell of it is that there appears no evidence to convince one that the rot has been excis- ed. We said earlier that this is a disturbing book. It's more than that; it's downright frightening.

These changes were announced two weeks ago by the Minister of Employment and Immigration, Benoit Bouchard and Minister of State for immigration, Gerry Weiner. The •ministers announced a series of administrative changes to the present regulations which would increase Canada's ability to help genuine refugees who need our pro - taction, and deterring abuse of the refugee let wminatiorn system. Most of the comments have been very supportive of the amendments. The government has been very aware of the abuse of the immigration program for some time now, and we would be negligent if we had not taken corrective action at this time. Both ministers are presently working on legislation con- ce rung the refugee determination system, and pian to have the work completed and the new bill tabled in parliament as soon as possible. Thee is no doubt that a positive immigration program is required in orde to permit the proper entry of' u___ and refugees. But such a program cannot beproperly main- tained if abuse of our refugee program is allowed to con- tinue. oo-tine. The changes took effect immediately, and I would like to briefly outline some of the new regulations. Canada had a blanket policy on admissions � non -deportation which ap- plied to certain countries; this has now been cancelled. Minister's Permits will no longer be automatically issued at the port of entry. All refugee claimants coming from the United States will now remain temporarily in the United States until an immigration bearing can take place. People arriving in Canada from eousttries whose citizens now require visas to visit Canada, will also require transit visas if they are travelling through Canada on their way to another country. More help will be giver to international airlines to assist then in detecting false travel documents of passengers bound for Canada. Canada has a long tradition of refugee and humanitarian assistance, and the new measures demonstrate the govern- ment's cornmittment to provide genuine refugees with pro- tection, while at the same time prevent the refugee system from being destroyed by abuse. Last week was an historic week for Parliament as the Prime Minister led off the government sponsored debate on Free Trade in the House of Commors. All eyes and ears were on Ottawa, awaiting information on trail; negotia- tions. There has been an overwhelming amount of rhetoric in the newsapaper since the trade negotiations were in- itiated, and the Prime Minister clearly outlined the govern- ment's position, as well as clarifying misconceptions. I believe the primary emphasis should be on the fact that Canada's progress as a nation depends on continuing our economic prosperity. Since we are a trading nation, it stands to reason that our future prosperity depends on our ability to trade; to secure and enhance our exports markets. The United States is our principal export market. Con- sidering the tendency for growing protectionism in the United States, Canada's ability to sell goods and services there is at risk, and we must attempt to work toward an agreement. The Prime Minister reiterated that it is the government's intention to contain these risks and take ad- vantage of the opportunities in trade. As I have already mentioned, there are many misconcep- tions about the trade negotiations. I would like to correct these. Primarily, the Autopact is not in danger. It is work- ing well and the American's have not asked that it be open- ed up. Should the American's have proposals on the Autopact that would benefit Canada, we will listen, but I underline the fact that any proposal must benefit Canada Report from Queen's Park By George Ashe, MPP Durham West SUNDAY SHOPPING: ANOTHER REVIEW My colleague Terry O'Connor, M.P.P. for Oakville and chairman of a Legislative committee studying Sunday shopping, says the province could have saved considerable taxpayers dollars since the results of the committee's hear- ing will not differ greatly, if at all, from a P.C. Task Force study conducted last year. This task force, by the way, was funded by the Conservative party. The all -party committee was set up by Premier Peterson after the Supreme Court ruled in December that Ontario's Sunday closing law met the terms of Canada's new Con- stitution. oo-stitution. The P.C. Task Force, also chaired by O'Connor and released in April 1996, found Ontarians to be largely oppos- ed to Sunday shopping. O'Connor estimates 60% of the witnesses appearing before the new Legislative committee also made submissions to the P.C. Task Force. Many of the written submissions are identical - the title pages have not even been changed. Opposition members of the committee think they are wasting their time and taxpayers' money. Even New Democrat Ed Philip says "we could have taken the Conser- vative task force report, looked at a few more areas which required research, and come up with amendments" to the current legislation. Instead, the Legislative Committee is hearing largely from the same groups at a projected cost of $150,000 to the taxpavers. The committee is holding forums throughout the province to bear the opinions of groups and individuals. How many commissions. studies and Legislative commit- tees must there be! I ask you, is this another case of a finan- cially responsible Liberal government. What do you think?

The Prime Minister confirmed in this speech that Canadian culture is not on the negotiating table and at the same time we will continue to take steps to strengthen our cultural industries. Our pre- sent farm support policies and the operation of marketing boards will be preserved, and we will continue to work toward a solution to end the destructive U.S. and European agricultural export subsidy programs. In addition to this, the government has no intention of abandoning its regional development programs to get a deal with the Americans. As the Prime Minister has said; if the Americans want a deal, Canada's desires must be respected and accom- modated - or there will be no deal. Our interest is in Canada and its people, and we will not lose sight of that.
