The word "Scotch" was initially given to Minnesota Min- ing and Manufacturing Company (3M) leaders after they produced an inadequate tape. The incident occurred in 1925. Automobile makers were producing two-tone cars. To make the painting job easier, they decided they needed a sturdy strip of tape to run along the border of a color while painting. This would create a sharp, clear line between the two colors. The 3M company made a tape for this purpose. Unfor- tunately, the tape did not have enough adhesive applied to its surface. As a consequence, it did not stick properly, and the paint ran beyond its intended borders. When a 3M salesman appeared before the angry auto workers, the workers suggested that the tape be returned to the 3M "Scotch bosses". Since then the tape, albeit improv- ed, has been called Scotch tape. Q. African violets are fairly sensitive to strong sunlight. Should they be placed in a window which faces north? N.V. A. Yes, at least for the warmer months. The plant can be burned from too much light. On the other hand, too little light will check its growth. It does best when it is placed in a north window from April to August and an east window for the remaining months. Q. Is lake Superior the largest inland lake in the world? R.G. A. No. At 31,820 sq. miles it is the second largest. The Cas- pian Sea, which lies north of Iran and south of the U.S.S.R., is the largest at 152,239 sq. miles. The deepest lake is Lake Baikal in the U.S.S.R. Its deepest point lies over a mile beneath the surface of the water. Dr. John Grant, director and chief economist at Wood Gundy Inc. of Toronto. was the guest speaker at the breakfast meeting of the Durham West PC Association's 200 Club at the Grenada Restaurant last week. He told the audiel"Aust "the world is much better manag- ed now than before" and added that none of us want high inflation again. He feels that the trade negotiations with the USA are going along better than we thought and concluded with ..inflation is not a problem in Canada.. it is keeping the economy going".

The study was essential- ly a replication, within the Durham board, of major aspects of Ontario's par- ticipation in SIMS ( Second International Mathematics Study) conducted in 1981-2. Mathematics Consultant Leslie Dow was on band to present Durham's results to the Board. He noted that for grade 8 students in Durham average scores exceeded the Ontario averages for all the fifteen areas examined. Durham's grade 13 average scones equalled or exceeded the Ontario average in each of the fifteen areas of mathematics examined. Durham's results will be utilized by Les Dow and school mathematics teachers to improve mathematics instruction where necessary. Both Les 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.

Mathematics teachers in Durham were praised for the quality of instruction they provide to their students. Technological Studies Review Presented Technical consultant Fred Thomas presented to board members the recent- ly completed review of Technological Studies 1987. Under the guidance of Superintendent of Cur- riculum Bruce Walker, a task force, consisting of Durham Board staff and business and industry representatives, conducted a technological study to determine if effective use was being made of facilities and resources in Durham schools. They were also to evaluate the technological program being offered to students, develop recom- mendations for im- provements to the pro- gram, and address the steady decline since 1980 in the number of students enrolling in technological courses. c� us19a _ aCJie�sorr't PRIriUNG AND Fred Thomas and the task force members were commended for their work in conducting the detailed study and for the ex- cellence of cher many con- structive recommenda- tions for revitalizing the tecthoo. —. &I program in Durham secondary schools. The statement of purpose of the review was approved by trustees. ALSBO President Ad- dresses Board Fiona Nelson, President of the Association of Large School Boards in Ontario, brought trustees up to date on the future directions of the organization. She discussed some of the main issues facing public educa- tion, and outlined ALSBO's long-range plans for help- ing member boards deal with common concerns. She cited funding of education as the most critical problem. Fiona commended trustees for their strong support of the active participation in ALSBO. Chairperson San- dra Lawson presented Fiona and ALSBO Ex- ecutive Director Lorraine Flaherty with Durham Board pins, and thanked them for their commitment to the organization. swo which were ex Blue Dolphins, Dain Christian, Paul Rivett, John McKen- zie, and Kevin Walker.

Apr. 1. 1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Why Special. Rights by Bob Watson The meeting of premiers led by Prime Minister Mulroney with Indians and Eskimos on the subject of special rights and self-government must make more Canadians than your writer wonder about all this. Do people who happen to be born in an Inuit igloo or Indian wigwam - or more likely, a subsidized house - have more rights to this land of ours. called Canada? Frankly, we are glad that the western premiers didn't cave in to the establishment of what seems to be another bunch of countries inside our own country - all at the ex- pense of those of us who are called Canadians. It is constantly a puzzlement to us that after the "white" man defeated the "red" man and took over his lands we seem to end up with two kinds of people inhabiting our coun- try. Why can't all of us be Canadians and equal - and no one with special privileges? We don't believe that we who are here now owe any special favours to those people living today and calling themselves Indian or Eskimo. The native peoples descendents could maintain their own culture, if they wish- ed, but why do the rest of us have to finance all of this. Sure- ly if any people wish to keep their culture going. it is only proper that they put in the work. time and money into the preservation, not everyone else. We don't believe that most Canadians have thought about this whole issue. Are we agreeable to giving away millions of acres of land to the so-called native peoples? Do we want numerous other self -governments inside our country' There are many problems to this issue and citizens shosild think about.them............................................. .... ...........

We were at an invita- tional advance screening but had to leave for another opening before we could see it. We are quite prepared, however, to ac- cept the advice of a col- league who was able to see it and who has intoned to me "Take along some Gravol". Speed is a 33 minute film that chronicles man's pro- gress over speed through the ages. Among other ex- citements you'll ride a roller coaster ( memories of Todd -AO anyone?), sit in a 320 mph jet dragster and experience a computer controlled trip at the speed of light. As we say, we had to miss it but we did see the film appearing with it. It's a revival of Silent Sky and is majestically beautiful as it follows the flight of a glider through the Califor- nia sky. The images are breathtaking in their beau- ty and the sensaion of flight, as it should be, is all pervasive. The audio senses are caressed as well by the sound of the wind slipping by and the almost inspired music of Hagood Hardy. It could well serve as the base for a tone poem. The pairing of Silent Sky and Speed is a clever bit of programming and we con- gratulate Ontario Place. Congratulations and best wishes as well to Mary - Ellen Bozic who has just been named Meda; Public Relations Co-ordinator. Nice to have you with us Mary -Filen. Still with matters cinematic, remember Mike Farrell? He played Hun- nicutt on the long running TV version of MASH. He has formed Farrell Minoff Productions with Marvin Minoff and is entering into feature film production. Principal Photography starts in Pittsburg in April on Dominick and Eugene starring Tom Hulce well remembered from Amadeus and Ray Liotta from Something Wild. We look forward to it. And, if Mr. Farrell should be reading this in Sherman Oaks. California, when are you going to do another Crary Legs commercial? ON RECORD: Hardly the correct cut line for an announcement about CDs but don't quib- ble. Be as excited as we are about the news that follows. A dr M of Canada has acquired the distribu- tion rights to the Nimbus Records compact discs catalogue. In the 60s Nimbus was founded as an experimen- tal recording studio. Today Nimbus rerxesents a new science of sound through its digital recording facilities and a classical repertoire featuring the highest calibre of artists. All Nimbus releases are recorded using the Nimbus -Halliday Surround Sound microphone system and in a concert -like set- ting to capture the feeling of a live performance. To preserve the quality of its sound Nimbus launch- ed its own CD facility which is the only one designed independently of Philips and Sony. This allows Nimbus control of its own mastering and full implementation of high - ambient, low edit con- sideration. Among the first releases will be a digital sampler, a 65 minute CD comprising 15 movements from cur- rent and prospective releases featuring such ar- tists as Shura Cherkassy, the Scottish Chamber Or- chestra and the Philhar- monia Orchestra. Beautiful music, well performed and recorded to well nigh perfection. There is no question that Cana- dian musical artists can take their place alongside those of other countries. There is also no question that the largest market for the artistry of any per- former is the U.S.A. So the question most often asked by Canadian artists, managers and labels is "what is the best way to guarantee sane level of success in the States?" A large mocasta'e of help is now at hand with the for- mation of EMG, Entertain- ment Marketing Group. It will assist and guide in cor- porate sponsorship and en- dorsement, marketing and promotion, event creation, radio syndication, pro- ducer management and a whole host of services. We think it's a fine organization and one that is rather much overdue of the music scene. EMG has a convenient location as well. It's at 181 University Avenue. Good hick to all. THE TUBE: Still with things musical, here's a reminder that The Phil Collins Special will ap- pear on Global TV next Monday at 9 p.m. It'll be simulcast here with Q-107. LEGIT BIT: Also next Monday the Canadian Actor's Equity Associations hosts its an- nual Theatre Arts Ball at the St. Lawrence Hall to benefit the Actors' Fund of Canada. The general public is in- vited and it's a fine oppor- tunity to meet and mingle with the Canadian acting fraternity. The cost is a modest $15 per person and includes buffet and dancing to the Al Hirsch Orchestra. We hope to make it after the COC performance of Adriam Lecouvreur at The O'Keefe and renew ac- quaintance with Daphne Goldrick, who is the Vice - President, External. Daphne has probably forgotten but she and I acted together some few years ago in a Belmont pro- duction of Arthur Miller's All My Sons. Her husband in the production was Paul Wayne. He went on to become a writer. Perhaps you've seen his most popular show . , a popular little thing called Three's Company. IN PRINT: While we decry the labelling of books into categories it must be con- ceded that some books are better suited to some au- diences than others. Given that, let us state that Thursday's Child by Helen Forrester (Fontana) is most definitely a woman's book. Ms. Forrester has writ- ten much about her life in Liverpool and we suspect that Thursday's Child, while not so stated, is in large measure autobiographical. Be that as it might, this is the story of a Liverpool woman who marries an In- dian and goes with him to their home in India. She is of lower middle class stock in England, he is of better caste in India. Neither family is en- thusiastic about the mar- riage and her husband's family will have nothing to do with her initially. At points the story is quite dreary as the woman tries hard to adjust to the different style of living in India. At others there is an exhilaration as one canes f Cominu•d on Pape 9) Wed.

Ed Fulton Minister d Transpoftim am Commute MPP Scarborough East REPORT RECOMMENDS DRINKING LAWS BE MODERNIZED Ontario's drinking laws should be changed to reflect the attitudes and expectations expressed by both the public and the industry according to a recently released government report. "The report emphasizes the promotion of responsible ser- vice of alcohol in licensed establishments, as well as in- dividual responsibility and moderation in the consumption of beverage alcohol, said Chairman of the Ontario Ad- visory Committee on Liquor Regulation, Steven Offer, M.P.P. for Mississauga North. The report contains more than 70 recommendations that include: giving all licensed establishments the option to re- main open daily from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.; keeping the legal age of 19; introducing a new classification for establishments: B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Bottle); and revamping the special occasion permit system. Mr. Offer said that over 85 percent of the province's almost 12,000 licensed establishments are already licensed to operate on Sundays if they so choose. Therefore, by giv- ing all licensed establishments the option to remain open seven days a week, the remaining 15 percent will be able to enjoy the same privilege.

To date, the ministry has spent more than $2 million on AIDS research projects and blood testing programs. One million dollars has been directed towards such projects as a comprebensive epidemiological study now under way at the University of Toronto. Studies related to diagnostic screen- ing have also been funded at Toronto's Hosptal of Sick Children and at the University of Western Ontario. In August 19M, the Health Ministry announced funding of si million to the Canadian Red Cross for its AIDS antibody testing program to assure an AIDS -free blood supply for Ontariars. The ministry also announced funding of s200.000 to its central laboratory in Etobicoke to set up and diagnostic specimen testing of suspected AIDS cases. The Ontario Public Education Panel on AIDS (OPEPA) is continuing its educational role for another two years. Since early 1965, the ministry has provided the AIDS Com- mittee of Toronto with hinds totalling s309,000 for its counselling and support - From 1982 to the present, there have been 357 cases of AIDS reported in Ontario, of whom 17, 9 are still alive. In Metro Toronto, there have been 251 cases. of whom 129 are still living. PREMIER URGES FOCUS ON EDUCATION Premier David Peterson recently pointed out that On- tario's education system must be improved to meet the needs of young people to provide them with new skills to compete in the modern world. Speaking at the annual Ontario Liberal Heritage Dinner in Toronto, Premier Peterson noted that there is a 40 per- cent dropout rate from high schools in the province. That rate, said Peterson. is one of the highest in the world - three times as high as in Sweden and West Germany and twice that of Japan and Great Britain. As one of several initiatives to help reduce the drop-out rate, the Ministry of Education will begin a special study on school dropouts. Premier Peterson added that the objective of the study will be to recommend ways of enuring that On- tario's education system is relevant to the needs of young people and to the realities of the labour market they are preparing to enter. Further, the Ontario Government has started the process of rebuilding our university structure. but much more needs to be done, Premier Peterson added. .•Ontanans must commit themselves to the education and training of young people, who need new skills to com- pete in the modern world." Premier Peterson said. ONTARIO SEEKS LEAVE TO APPEAL ZUNDEL CASE Attorney General Ian Scott is seeking leave to appeal a judgment by the Ontario Court of Appeal setting aside the conviction of Ernst Zundel who had been convicted of spreading false news contrary to Section 177 of the Criminal Code but that conviction was set aside last month by the ap- peal court. I have instructed my Crown Law Officers to bring an ap- plication in the Supreme Court of Canada seeking leave to appeal that decision in order that the conviction may be restored," Attorney General Scott told members of the Legislature. Mr. Scott added that the law creating the of- fence under which the charge was laid was found by the court to be constitutionally valid and that the jury found that the Crown met the burden of proving beyond reasonable doubt that the Holocaust had indeed occurred. "The decision to proceed in this manner was finally bas- ed, as it must be in all cases, on strict concern for the due administration of justice... Attorney General Scott said.

BPI Watt's Worlds Con*mW from Ps" 5 to an appreciation of the finer points of the differing cultures. Is there a happy ending? There is but it's indeter- minate and we suspect that Ms. Forrester had a sequel in mind. Not a bad book at all but definitely better ap- preciated and enjoyed by women. There is no ques- tion that The Tunnels of Cu Chi (Pan) is a man's book. Here you will read about the incredible tunnel fighting that went on dur- ing the Viet Nam war and it's truly horrifying. The tunnels were built by and for the native populace and were quite small. For an American, there was only one way to enter . . feet first, never knowing if a VetCong was waiting to stab a bayonet in the groin. This is war, real war, the kind of war that makes one wish desperately for peace. It isn't a pretty book to read but we recanunend it on two counts. The first is, of course, to make the point to those who still need it to be made that war is a dreadful thing. Our second reason is in some measure an • admis- sion of our ignorance. The Tunnels of Cu On is the fust book we've read that explains how the war in Viet Nam came about in the fust place. Authors Tom Mangold and John Penycate have done some fine in- vestigative work here and while some of the narrative is stultifyingly boring it is compelling.

Page 10 THE NEWS/ POST Wed. Apr. 1, 1997 Business Community News] BTT: There's A Price To Pay Whether you can see it or you can't, a business transfer tax will be effec- tively invisible, says Wayne Matheson, a tax specialist with Deloitte Haskins do Sells. "Most people have a pretty good idea as to what they pay in income tax, because they record it in a lump sum at least once a year. But how many people know the total that they pay annually in provincial sales tax for instance?" Mr. Matheson says. "Even though sales tax is record- ed separately on every pur- chase, most people have no idea how much tax they pay each year... A business transfer tax is expected to be a major component of the White Paper on tax reform scheduled for this spring. A BTT would be levied on the value added to all goods and services at every stage of the production and distribution process. Mr. Matheson says a BTT would be designed to finance the elimination of the outdated Manufac- turers' Sales Tax as well as individual and corporate surtaxes, which together generated about $14 billion last year. It would likely also help to finance promis- ed reductions and personal income tax rates. To do that may require a BTT rate as high as eight percent, he says. In theory, the price of those selected goods now subject to the 12 percent Manufacturers' Sales Tax should go down, while the price of goods and services previously untaxed would go up, Mr. Matheson says. Thus, the aggregate cost to consumers should increase only moderately. In practice, it is very doubtful that the savings on the defunct Manufacturers' Sales Tax would be reflected in price reduc- tions to the ultimate con- sumer, he says. On the other hand, it is quite cer- tain that the cost of BTT would be reflected im- mediately in price in- creases. Consumers and retailers groups alike have strongly urged that the tax be shown separately on every sale, though perhaps for dif- ferent reasons. Retailers assume that the tax has been added directly to the price they pay to manufacturers and distributors.

Mr. Matheson says, the retailers can justify a price increase to consumers, even though some of the cost of the tax may have already been absorbed by suppliers seeking a competitive edge in the market. Fo, their part, consumers ad- vocat % insist that purchasers should be fully aware of what they are paying in tax above the value of the goods. If the tax is not shown, it is possi- ble that some of the impact may be absorbed before it reaches the con- sumer. Mr. Matheson says. Whereas if the tax i� shown, the consumer will almost always bear the full burden. The trade-off. he says, is between not knowing exactly how much tax you're paying and having some idea of how much you're paving. but pro- bably paying a little extra for the knowledge. In either case. qtr. Matheson says, the net result is that consumers will be considerably less aware than they previously have been of exactly how much tax they are actually pay- ing.

Proposed Amendments to the Ontario Securities Act The board of trade has made several recornmen- dations regarding proposed amendments to the Ontario Securities Act to be con- tained in Biu 156. These suggestions include revi- sions to the securities act dealing with take-over bids and issuer bids, insider trading and liability for misrepresentation in cir- culars. international Banking Cen- tres The board continues to urge that Toronto be in- cluded as an international banking centre and stresses that market forces should identify which com- munities are designated IBC's.

Speaking To You Scott Fennell M.P. • Gobot RkIn r Many of you are probably wondering about the new in- itiatives and changes our government is proposing to the National Housing Act mortgage insurance program an- nounced last week by the Hon. Stewart McInnes. Under the National Housing Act, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) provides insurance for cw cuamstances when a borrower fails to repay the mortgage loan amount lent to him or her by a lender on agreed teras. These improvements, some of which will be effective as early as May 1st, are being introduced to the NHA mor- tgage insurance program and include: a reduction in some underwriting premiums and fens; second mortgage loan inn surance; the extension of NHA insurance to movable homes, and the self-sufficiency CMHC's mortgage in- surance portfolio through tighter controls and new claim prevention procedures. For purchases, loan limits have been extended from the previous level of $80,000 to 9096 of the fust $125,000 of len- ding value, plus 8096 of the remainder for equal payment mortgages. For variable rate mortgages, the loan limit is extended to 85% of the first $125,000 plus 80% of the re- mainder. Second mortgage financing has become very popular in Canada, but interest rates have usually been higher. In this regard, the program is aimed at people who want to im- Town of Pickering Depardrwd d Parks and Recreation (2) rn�a recwo"4 n�an Complex Pool PA Day - Friday April 3, 1987 - Open Public Swimming -190 P.M. - 5:00 P.M.

By George Ashe, MPP Durham West GOVERNMENT UNDER INVESTIGATION Five investigations and lawsuits involving the liberal Government and dose associates have been keeping com- mittees of the Provincial I agislattn e, the Ontario Solmrities Commission, and the Ontario Provincial Police very The people of Ontario have been waiting for reports on outstandinggovernnherht kwestigatians, says my colleague, Alan Pope, M.P.P. for Cochrane South. These investiga- tions have been going on since the beginning of the session and all have links to the Ontario Liberal Party." O.P.P. reports are submitted to the Attorney General who may or may not make the report public. In my view when a government's actions are under in- vestigation it would seem appropriate that the public be able to review the results of any police report. Matters under Government investigation include: Wyda Systems • investigations began in January 1987. • The O.P.P. are investigating the company for fraud. • Wyda received $3 million in assistance from the now defunct government venture capital agency, IDEA Cor- poration. • The company is now in receivership. • The Liberal Government has filed a $3.5 million law suit against the computer company to get back the IDEA Corp. investment. • The President of Ontario Development Corp, David MacKinnon, has said there is already evidence of possible mcom tax violations, misrepresentations and commercial fraud About $2 million is believed to have been spent to pay off existing debts. 'These debts were inflated and inventory was overvalued. • Wilf Caplan, the husbanrd of former Liberal Cabinet Minister, Elinor Caplan, was the vice President of Finance of Wyda dw-mg the time the company was negotiating IDEA Corp. support. • Once the support was won. Mr. Caplan's relamer increas- ed from $2,000 a month to SB.000 a month. Graham Seftware ' The province lost a $5.1 million investment made by IDEA F. to the Toronto based computer company, when an ebruary 5, IW7 the Liberal Government accepted cepted a $300,000 out of court settlement. • The company was awned by Terry Graham, a fried and former business partner of Abe Shwartz, a member of David Peterson's transition team. • On March 23,1987 the I elibslsture's Public Accounts Com- mittee was looking into the loan made to the Company. L.S.I. Applications • The O.P.P. investigation began November 30,1996. One of the owners is Leo Gray, brother of federal liberal Herb Gray. • Liens totalling more than $3 million were filed by building contractors. Since Government money was loaned for building construction but had not been used for this pur- pose, the O.P.P. were called in. P.E.C. Fisaneial • Went into receivership in the summr of 1985 with $23 million in outstanding debts. • Investigation by the Ontario Secunbes Commission into business practices against Wilf Caplan, husband of former Cabinet Minister Elinor Caplan. Wilf Caplin was Secretary - Treasurer and Chid Financial Officer from INS - April 1985. Vaughan Land Sale • The sale of 15 acres of land by the Town of Vaughan led to an O.P.P. investigation in November 1986 at the request of the ratepayers. • Local ratepayers claim that they brought the incident to the attention of Greg Sorbara, M.P.P. for York North and Minister of Colleges and Universities, in the spring but the Minister did nothing about the incident. • Sorbara claims he approached the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Bernard Grandmaitre on the issue, however, Grandmaitre denies having ever been informed. • The Progressive Conservatives have asked that the O.P.P. broaden their investigation to include Minister Sor- bara since the ratepayers have indicated that Sorbara sat on this issue possibly to protect his former campaign manager who is now one of the principal figures in the In- vestigation. I can tell you, if the previous Conservative Government had been involved in any two of these issues, let alone five, it would be Toronto Star front page practically daily. prove their properties, but who don't want to change their first mortgage financing. The availability of insurance for second mortgages will help Canadians obtain second mortgages with lower bor- rowing costs, and will assist people who purchase pmper- ties with appealing assumable fust mortgages but who re- quire additional fundis to bridge the difference between their equity and the assumable fust mortgage. Because of the high-priced markets for housing, it is also intended to promote renovation instead of "trading -up" to a more expensive harm. The minimum insured amount for this type of loan is $io,000. I believe these changes will benefit everyone as low downpayments and low borrowing costs make home owner- ship more accessible to all Canadians, especially for those who are purchasing their first homes. This also demonstrates our commitment to a fiscally -responsible Public mortgage loan insurance program.
