C. A. The fust true friction match was invented in 1877 by Jahn Walker, a druggist in Durham. England. His matches were made of a chemical compound ( potash and sugar) mixed with powdered guar to make it stick to wood splinters. They were then lit by pulling them through a piece of sandpaper. Godfrey Haykswitz was the first to attempt to make mat- ches in the modern sense. He put small pieces of a c enucal called phosphona on small splinters of wood dipped in another chemical. sulphur. This type of match was lit by putting it in a boot of hot coals. This, however. was not a fric- tion match. Q. What are sun dogs? M. W. A. The technical name for sun dogs is parheia. They are bright spots near the sun that appear when sunlight shines through a thin cloud composed of we crystals. like other halos, they are due to the refraction of light. Sun dogs may appear in the summer as well as the winter time because, even in the warmest weather. the temperature in the upper atmosphere is below freezing. Q. How are ons muffled' R. P. A. Oars are muffled by wrapping soft fabric around them where they come in contact with the oarlocks. This deadens the noise. When Paul Revere started his famous journey to Lex- ington, a petticoat was used to muffle the ours of the boat in which he crossed the Charles River. although a sheepskin was ordinarily used in those days. Frank Coburn in The Battled April 19. 1775 refers to this incident. reporting: ..Fearing that the noise of the oars in the oarlocks might alarm the sentry, Revere dispatched one of his companions for something to muffle them with, who soon returned with a petticoat, yet warm from the body of a fair daughter of liberty. who was glad to contribute to the cause... Q. What is meant by the term "small beer"'. T. M. A. Small beer is beer with low alcoholic content. As applied to alcoholic beverages. small signifies thin, weak or diluted as m small beer. small ale or small wine. In 1568 Richard Grafton wrote in his Chronicles of England, "For drink, they had none but small beer." Small beer was the drink of the common people and a badge of the lower classes. To refer to a person as "small beer" is to disparage him. Q. What is a dead man's hand in cards' J. W. A. In poker, a hand consisting of a pair of aces (some say jacks) and a pair of eights is known as a dead man's hand. It is claimed that James Butler Hickock (Wild Bill) was holding such a hand when he was shot by Jack McCall dur- ing a card game in Deadwood, South Dakota, August 2, 1876. On the other hand, some poker players maintain that a dead man's hand is very lucky and seldom beaten. In cer- tain wild games, it wins over everything. even a royal flush. Q. How did the phrase "in the limelight" originate? T.O. A. To be "in the limelight" (now meaning in the public eye) was originally a theatrical expression. Limelight is a system of stage lighting invented in 1825 by British army of- ficer Thomas Drummond. Drummond learned that if a flame was directed at a cylinder of time an intense white light would be created. Soon, the limelight, or Drummond light as it was sometimes caUed, was being used for survey- ing and in light houses, and eventually came to be used theatrically, since electricity did not yet exist. The part of the stage where the most action occurred was lighted in this method, and came to be known as the limelight. Actors who had leading roles were "in the limelight".

The riding now has about 60,000 voters and is one of the fastest growing areas in the greater Metro area. Its boundaries are Lake Ontario on the south, the Scarborough border on the west, the Pickering/Ux- bridge Town Line on the north and Regional Rd. 23 on the east. P. C. George Ashe easily won the riding in 1965 by 4,000 votes but this time is facing a strong challenge by Norah Stoner who has served on Pickering Coun- cil for 10 years and is now deputy mayor and a member of Durham regional council. Ashe has represented the riding since 1977. He has held four cabinet portfolios including minister of energy. Prior to his elec- tion be was mayor of 1 Pickering. Jim Wiseman, 38, is run- ning for the NDP. He is a secondary school teacher with the Durham Board of Education. Stoner wants the provin- cial government to close down the Brock Rd. landfill site where Metro dumps its garbage. She also wants two proposed new sites from ever being licensed to open up. Ashe accuses the Liberal government of not pro- viding sufficient money to build new schools to ac- commodate the large in- flux of students who are be- ing housed in portables. But Stoner says the Tories had plenty of years in office to address the problem of new schools. Bert Vermeer is running for the Family Coalition Party. 1985 Results - P.

Statistics Canada Facts Correctional Costs Government spending on adult correctional services dur- ing 1965-86 amounted to about $1.38 billion, according to the 1988 Canada Yearbook. Of this, $744 million was spent at the federal level and $636 million at the provincial level. Economic Activity The 1988 Canada Yearbook tells us that over half of the economic activity in Canada originates in Ontario and Quebec, with nearly 80% of manufacturing activity concen- trated in these two provinces. Uranium According to the 1988 Canada Yearbook, Canada ac- counted for about 30% of the world's production of uranium in 1985. One year earlier, Canada had overtaken the United States as the world's leading supplier of low-cost reasonably assured uranium. R. Martino Funeral Home Limited 4115 Lawrence Ave. E. 281.6800 just west of Kingston Rd. Page : THE NEWS'POST Wed. Sept. 2, 1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Allegience To The Queen Sir: Immigrants coming to Canada should be educated in our form of government, and thus proud to swear allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen. However, apparently Secretary of State David Crombie does not agree. In a recently -released discussion paper ironically entitled "Proud to be Canadian", Mr. Crombie suggests downgrading or eliminating the Queen from the Citizenship Oath. I am writing to alert your readers to this insulting and untimely proposal, and to ask them to join in making certain that it does not become law. Canada is a constitutional monarchy. That principle is entrenched in our recently -proclaimed Constitution, and the presence this year in Quebec of both the Queen and the Queers Mother shows how uncontroversial and widely ac- cepted is the role of the Crown. Recognition of this fact should be made by anyone who wants to become a Cana- dian. One of the discussion paper's proposed Oaths places the Queen in 4th place. and eliminates the promise "to bear true allegiance" to the Sovereign. This is justified as follows: "Some believe the country itself ought to take precedence over the Crown", falsely suggesting that there is a conflict. Our way of expressing love of country is through loyalty to the Crown, because the Queen is the neutral and non-political Head of State. The other proposed Oath justifies removing any mention of the Queen with the ridiculous argument that immigrants' having difficulty with English or French may prefer a shorter Oath. Come on, Mr. Crombie - which is more dif- ficult to understand, "being faithful" to the most widely - known and loved woman in the world, or promising to .'abide by" a Constitution, a piece of paper most have never read' People matter most; that is what Monarchy reminds us. For such an insulting proposal to come from a Conser- vative Cabinet :Minister in the 35th year of the Queen's reign. and of her unswer%ing service to Canada. can only disturb the average loyal citizen• who wants immigrants to share his proud loyalties, not reject them. I urge readers to write to their M.P.. to Mr. Crombie and to the Prime Minister expressing opposition to these suggestions. A detailed brief containing arguments against any change in the Oath and suggestions for further individual action may be obtained free of charge by writing to: The Monarchist League of Canada. 2 Wedgewood Cr., Ottawa, Ont.

Constable John Soffe of 41 Division told the court that Christensen said he was an alderman and that his arrest was unfair. "He pleaded to be given a break .. to be let go." Soffe said Christensen was "close to falling down drunk". He described him as "incoherent and ex- tremely impaired by alcohol." He said Christensen's speech was slurred, his eyes were glassy and bloodshot and he staggered while walk- ing. Christensen was arrested last Dec. 11 at 1:50 a.m. and charged with impaired driving and failure to pro- vide a breath sample after he was observed travelling northbound in the south- bound lane after leaving David Kendall New President North York Vice - Principal David Kendall was acclaimed President of the moou member On- tario Public School Teachers' Federation (OPSTF) this week.

Constable Soffe told the court Christensen's car crossed a median and weaved across lanes before finally stopping on Ken- nedy Rd. just south of Eglinton Ave. E. Constable Peter Galler, a breathalyzer expert, testified Christensen refus- ed several times to provide a breath sample. He said Christensen was "abusive, cocky and very un- cooperative." He also described the alderman as "extremely impaired". Christensen's lawyer, Michael Wadsworth, argued there were medical reasons for his client's behaviour the night of his arrest and tried to get the trial put over until next May so he could call medical experts. Provincial court Judge Charles Purvis called the request "totally unaccep- table" nacce}table" and said the public had a right to have the case tried. The trial was adjourned following the police of- ficers' testimony. No date has yet been set but is ex- pected to be in October or November. Wadsworth said his client has been under a doc- tor's care following major surgery and plans to sub- poena as witnesses several medical experts including a neurosurgeon.

Currently upon retire- ment you must choose from one of three alternatives or a combination of the three to suit your needs. In any case your RRSP must be collapsed before the end of the year you reach the age of 71. One option is to receive the funds in your plan as a lump sum. In do- ing so, keep in mind you must include the full amount in your tax return for the year, and your RRSP will be subject to a withholding tax of between 10 and 30%. The next two alternatives are tax advantaged - in other words they continue to shelter your retirement capital. The payments you receive are then taxed as ordinary income only when you receive them. Your se- cond option is to purchase an annuity.. several types are eligible alternatives. Basically an annuity is a contract where you con- tribute a lump sum of money today and in return you receive a stream of regular payments made up of interest and principal. Over the term of the an- nuity only the payments are taxed in your hands. A third option which is available for investors wishing to continue to con- trol their own investments and capital is to roll funds into a Registered Retire- ment Income Fund ( RRIF) . Changes introduced in the February 1986 Federal Budget and made law in December of that year, have greatly increased the attractiveness of RRIFs. You may now hold as many RRIFs as you wish, not just one as was the case under the old rules. You may now begin a RRIF at any age versus 6o under the old rules. Your payments from a RRIF may begin im- mediately rather than hav- ing to wait until the follow- ing January. You now have the flex- ibility to withdraw any amount at any time from your RRIF subject to an- nual minimums. The degree of flexibility will of course depend on the type of investments you hold. Previously allowable RRIF payments had little flex- ibility, were low in the ear- ly years and very high in later years. You may convert your RRIF to an annuity or vice versa ( this will depend on the issuer). You may cash in your RRIF at any time. Other- wise. your RRIF will con - Metro Toronto Board Of Trade On Auto Expense Regarding automobile expense deductions, the board finds the proposed limitations "both arbitrary and unduly restrictive".

In a wide-ranging brief presented to Finance Minister Michael Wilson and the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Af- fairs (in response to the June 18 White Paper on Tax Reform), Canada's largest community board of tradechamber of com- merce also reiterated its opposition to that part of Bill C-64, an Act to amend the Income Tax Act, which designates Montreal and Vancouver - but not Toron- to - as International Bank- ing Centres (IBC's). The brief points out that this proposal is "complete- ly at odds with the broader objectives of tax reform - such as the promotion of business decisions based on economic, rather than tax, considerations". The inter- national competitiveness of a Canadian IBC will only be ensured by letting market forces determine its even- tual location. Commenting on the base - broadening and tax reduc- tion measures of the White Paper, the board an- ticipates that lower tax rates will increase the disposable income of most Canadians and thus slight- ly boost consumer spen- ding, but predicts that "the business community is likely to be adversely af- fected" by the proposed reforms. Proposed changes to the Capital Cost Allowance, for example, will have an adverse effect on business spending - particularly in manufacturing industries, many of which face intense international competition. This disincentive to the modernization of Canadian industry could hurt Canada's competitive posi- tion over the long term. Regarding the sales tax reform proposals, the brief recommends that the government establish a timetable for public hear- ings, and aim for a working agreement with the pro- vinces by July 1, 1968. Long an advocate of a combined federal: provincial retail sales tax, the board feels that the National Sales Tax proposal would be the most efficient and equitable op- tion, since the new, single tax would be both visible to the consumer and easier to collect. Finally, the board notes that simplification - one of the White Paper's five ob- jectives - is far from being achieved. Many tax reforms will lead to further complexity, especially the preferred -share dividend tax proposals. which "will perhaps result in the most complex rules in the In- come Tax Act". Representatives of the board are scheduled to ap- pear as witnesses before the Hasse of Commons Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Af- fairs at 9:30 a.m. on Tues. Sept. 15th. PaA-Mgltickets.

Since officers were never very suc- cessful in preventing enlisted men from marrying, a useful role had to be found for their families. The women were permitted to serve as laundresses, cleaning women, nurses, and sometimes as cooks. In regiments whose com- manding officers were so inclined, children were allowed to attend a school set up by the army. Never- theless, the concessions granted to the dependants of enlisted men were few, and for the most part, these women and children were merely tolerated. During the summer months at Fort Wellington National Historic Park in Prescott, interpreters dressed in period costumes re-enact nineteenth century garrison life when women and children lived side by side with enlisted men.

R.l.Dt Dmitry .W<rih- /4orumam Cowe Put Meat Into Your Meals Meat, fish, poultry and alternates such as eggs, cheese, dried beans and nuts can provide the basis around which nutritious meals are planned In Canada, we have a wide range of choice in each of these categories. Canada's Food Guide recommends two servings of the meat group daily. A serving of meat, fish or poultry is considered to be about three ounces (90 g) crooked weight — Canadians tend to eat larger servings of meat, in particular, than they really need. Two eggs, 4 tablespoons (60 mL) of pea- nut butter, l cup (250 in ) of cooked dried beans and 2 ounces (60 g) of cheese are each considered a serving in the meat group. This food group is a maor source of protein and also provides iron, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin B,2, fibre and fat. Each serving of the meat group provides 12 to 22 grams of protein. Meat, fish, poultry and eggs contain complete protein. That is to say, they contain essential components the body cannot make itself. If nuts, beans or lentils are your preference, remember you should make sure they are in the right combination with another food group to make a complete protein. Some ex- amples are: macaroni and cheese, baked beans and bread or a bean filled corn tortilla. Meat, especially organ meats, arc an Important source of iron. Egg yolk, dried beans, peas. lentils, seeds and nuts also contribute iron. Iron is important in the making of hemoglobin, a necessary component of the red blood cell. There are many delicious ways to cook meat, fish and poultry. Now that summer is here, barbecuing is number one on the list of ways Canadians like to cook their meat. Can you guess one of our most popular barbequed foods? If you said hamburgers, you're right. This summer, why not add an inter- national accent to your burgers. It's fun and easy too, when you count on Canadian cheese. Create a Fiesta Burger by adding taco seasoning to your basic ground beef mixture. Grill the patty and top with Colby or Monterey lack cheese and serve with taco sauce. For an Italian flavour, try adding oregano or Italian seasoning to the meat, topppping the grilled burger with Moz- zarella cheese and serving with canned pizza sauce. For a Greek accent, pile crumbled Feta Cheese on the cooked burger. Add sliced tomatoes, ripe olives and serve in a pita bread pocket. To get you started give our Deli Style Reuben Burger a try.

Sept. 2, 1 W7 THE POST Page 7 Fibre - 80s diet trend A healthy diet in the 1980s im- plies adequate but not excessive protein, balanced amounts of the essential vitamins and minerals — ideally from food sources — and now, plenty of fibre. A recent committee of experts, brought together by Health and Welfare Canada, recommended that adults double their fibre in- take by including a variety of fibre -containing foods in their daily diet. Fibre is found in fruits, vegeta- bles and grains in many forms. It's in the skin of apples and potatoes; it's in the outer bran coating of the wheat kernel. In general, fibre helps give plant materials their structure and shape. Many des Fibre comes in many different disguises — pectin, gum, cellulose and lignin. And these various fibres have differing health benefits. It's the fact that fibre is absorb- ed into the blood stream that ac- counts for its nutritional benefits. Some nutritionists describe fibre as a broom that helps to sweep certain substances, such as bile, chernicals and bacteria, out of our intestinal tracts. As nutrition researchers dis- cover new heahh benefits provid- ed by fibre, they're fading that not all the fibres act in the same way. Therefore, nutritionists are recommendutg that we eat several different food sources of fibre daily so that we can benefit from all types of fibre. Food sources of fibre include whole grain breads and cereal products; vegetables such as bak- ed beans, lima beans, peas, broc- coli, and spinach; fruits such as figs, prunes, raisins, blueberries and blackberries; and nuts. Fiber foods can taste good Food manufacturers know that even the most committed health - conscious consumers will tolerate the taste of plain bran for only so long. But if fibre is included in good tasting products that con- sumers enjoy, such as cookies and crackers, it will be much easier to follow the nutritionists' recom- mendations. Thus, in response to consumer interest in fibre, many food manufactuers are developing new products with added fibre good- ness. For example, Christie Brown & Co. have just introduc- ed a line of Country Fibre cookies and crackers. Included in the tine are Olibneal, DMm ve and Apple 'N Oatmeal Soft cookies, as well as Snack, Whole Wheat and Crisp Wheat trackers. If you'd like more information on fibre -containing foods, write to HEALTH, P.O. Box 3535, London, Ontario, N6A 41-4.

One is tempted to. and one likely would if one were Ray Conlogue, dismiss it lightly by describing it as Tennis the Menace but that would be too cutesy. Doubles• though nominally a comedy, is a work of some substance about four men who meet weekly for a game of tennis and in the camaraderie of the club surround, not to mention a gorgeous club at- tendant, unbosom themselves of their troubles. Frank Gorshin is Lennie. He is middle aged like his friends, works for his wealthy father-in-law. dislikes his job and isn't too happy with his marriage either. He is not a nice man. he is boorish in the extreme; he lies, he cheats. he plays practical jokes. And vet, and yet he is likeable or, at least he engenders sympathy because he knows wiiat he is and why he is but can do little about it. In real life he is to be avoided; in the world of theatre. he becomes comical if not comic. Mr. Gorshin plays the role nicely. He exploits it for all its comic juices but does so without ever stoop- ing to schtick. And, we par- ticularly enjoyed his delivery of a line to his lawyer buddy when paying up a bet .. "Take the extra money. You lawyers all have io run faster'now that they've increased the speed limit on ambulances." Donald Most is the newcomer to the quartet but don't look for the Ralph of Happy Days. He doesn't even look like him except for the odd occasion when he turns up his mouth in an imitation of a smile button. Mr. Most's Guy is an in- tense professional who still hasn't grasped that people. particularly employers. want truth and frankness. He also has not realized that people do not wish their difficulties and ex- periences compared to those of aboriginal societies, in microcosm or otherwise. As Lennie remarks to him in an- noyance.

Well, it's not really about anything, in terms of narrative value. It does, however, offer some in- sights, not necessarily original, into the problems that can bedevil us and does so in a way that is amusing. Peter Flint's direction is just heavy enough that the play elicits laughs rather than chuckles. Some in the opening night audience suggested that the timing was a bit off but we were unaware of it. If there is less than perfect timing, it's probably because in dinner theatre, Doubles is presented in three acts rather than in the two of legitimate theatre. Doubles at Stage West is a most engaging ex- perience and we recom- mend your custom. May we also recommend the roast lamb from the fabulous buffet. POST SCRIPT: In an earlier piece we had mentioned that Donald Most had appeared with Sean Cassidy a few years ago at the CNE. At the post performance party Mr. Most was graciously ada- mant that he has never ap- peared with Sean Cassidy. Upon checking with our daughter she also confirm- ed that it was not him we saw. She couldn't recall just who it was but thought it might have been a player from the TV series Room 222. So much for our steel trap memory. Rather rusted out apparently.

To qualify for the reduc- ed fare, students must pre- sent a valid student I.D. card when purchasing their tickets. The new fare will apply to trips taken on or after Aug. 15, 1987. "The new fare offers students a sizeable dis- count and flexibility to travel at times that suit them, with very few restrictions," Murray Jackson, VIA's vice- president of Marketing and Sales, said in announcing the new offering. "VIA feels that the train is the ideal way of travell- ing for students," Mr. Jackson added. "The train offers downtown to downtown service and a chance to meet friends, read or catch up on school work. And the fact that it is now more affordable should be especially ap- pealing to students." Tickets at the lower stu- dent fare can be purchased for travel anywhere on the VIA system on any day of the week with certain ex- ceptions. The discount does not apply to trains depar- ting Fridays and Sundays between the hours of noon and 6 p.m. in the Quebec - Windsor corridor and on some Atlantic services. In addition, discounts are not allowed during the Christmas holiday period (between Dec. 18 to Jan. 4) . Today's Motor Coach Tours Offer Carefree Vacation Fun Climb on, sit back and discover the changing world of motor coach touring. Today there are motor coach tours to suit every traveller's whim and more and more Canadians going along for the ride. According to the Ontario Motor Coach Asso- ciation (O.M.C.A.), more than 15 million Canadians a year enjoy motor coach tours and charters and in Ontario alone, operating revenue from these activities almost doubled in the ten-year period between 1975-85. "Of course, motor coach travel of today is a far cry from the spartan travel of 20 years ago, says O.M.C.A. president Brian Crow. "Over the past 10 to 15 years the industry has evolved tremendously. offer - Marlin �•►� Travel WARDEN WOODS MALL 752.4880 Free ticket delivery to corporate accounts Call us for SEPTEMBER SPECIALS Also wWw prices and brochures now availsble For all your travel rtaads "We'll show you what Travel Service really means" 284-8300 MORNINGSIDE MALL The mall entrance beside Woolco, Upper Level OPEN 9,.30 am. - &3o p.m. Mon. - FM. 10 am. - 5 p.m. Saturdays m passengers new standards of comfort, service and enjoyment." For one thing, today's coaches arc much more luxurious and far more spacious than their prede- cessors. Climate controlled air conditioning, fully equipped washrooms, large panoramic windows. piped -in music and plush reclining seats are among the standard features and some coaches even have VCRs and video screens for showing on -board movies. But luxury, while certainly an important consideration, is not the only reason for the growing popularity of motor coach touring. There's also the convenience of an all-inclu- sive escorted holiday package is which accommodations, baggage handling• sightsceing attractions and transportation are taken care of. Passengers can sit back and Fall Touring Books Now Out Two booklets from On- tario's Ministry of Tourism and Recreation will help you enjoy our colorful fall season. The 56 -page -'Fall Auto Tours" describes more than 50 driving tours, vary- ing in length from 20 to 700 kms. Many are circle tours. The booklet in- dicates the kind of foliage you're likely to see, rang- ing from the red maple and sumach in the south to the yellow poplar and birch farther north. The second booklet is "Fall Events", a listing of more than 500 events tak- ing place in Ontario during September, October and November. These include everything from the Inter- national Plowing Match in Meaford (Sept. 15-19) to the New Liskeard Santa Claus Parade ( Nov. 28) . For copies, call the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation at 9654006. enjoy leisurely tours through the Canadian Rockies or Atlantic Canada without having to keep their eyes on the road or their hands on the steering wheel. All they have todo is watch the breathtaking scenery unfold and leave the rest to their tour escort and driver. At the end of the day they are simply handed the keys to their hotel rooms where their baggage will be waiting. In every respect motor coach tounng is a worry -free holiday and as its popularity has grown, so has the choice of tour options. In Ontario they now run the gamut from extended tours of California and Western Canada to one day shoppingg trips to Montreal and overnight theatre trips to Stratford or Niagara -on -the - Lake, as well as to ski trips to Quebec, country music tours to Nashville, the ever popular Florida trip and escorted tours to a host of other destinations in Ontario, the rest of Canada, and throughout the United States. Some motor coach operators even offer trips to rock concerts in Ontario and nearby points in the U.S. If travellers want to set their own agenda, they can take unescorted "independent" tours, in which then travel at their leisure on regularly scheduled coaches to one or more destinations of their choice where prearranged ac- commodations await them. There are also time saving air/ coach tours, in which passen- gers are Flown to and/or from more distant destinations for motor coach tours. Often there's a demand for something off the beaten track, for example, Canadian geologists who want to study rock formations in Northern Ontario, or visiting farmers from Germany who want to inspect holstein cattle in southern Ontario. No problem. Most motor coach operators will gladly arrange custom- made specialty tours on a charter basis. These days there is very little you can't see or do on a motor coach tour. The growing popularity of motor coach tours is not only Food business for the industry. It's also a boon to the Ontano economy. The O.M.C.A. estimates that tour groups from outside the province bring in more than $250 million a year to Ontario. Nevertheless, motor coach touring is one of the most economical ways to get around, partly because tour operators are able to get volume reduced rates on 3ccommodaticm-, Wed.

This is one reason why these tours have traditionally had a strong appeal for seniors. Nowadays, however, the clientele spans all age groups. "Today younger people ree- sent about 40 per cent of our business," says Lynn Patter- son, Manager of Travelways Tours, a Toronto-based motor coach tour wholesaler. Even families with children are becoming rnore crxnmon- place. The comfort and con- venience of on -hoard wash- rooms and generous leg room, together with the many diversions that usually accom- pany motor coach touring, make it ideal for younger family members who tend to be restless travellers. It all points to an incontro- vertible truth about the allure of motor coach travel: Going can be as good as getting there.

Ask yourself if you prefer income or capital appreciation. Your choice of fund will depend on your individual ftnaricial goals - 2. Know Your Fuad A vast array of mutual funds is available to moa imrstos varied ttteferences. These in- clude equity funds, feed income funds, balanced funds and money market funds. By investing in different types of securities such as stocks, bonds and short-term notes, each category of mutual fund provides potential returns com- mensurate with the risk of the investment. The higher the risk the greater the potential returns. Select the type of mutual fund appropriate to your needs. 3. How Mucb, How Long, Determine the amount of money you're willing to invest. Are you planning a lump sum purchase, or do you prefer to acquire fund units monthly. Do you want your funds as part of a registered retirement savings plan? Consider the options. Prudent investors do not ex- pect miracles overnight. Labatt urges investors to treat mutual funds as a long-term invest- ment. Assess your medium and long-term rash requirements.

Labatt encourages fust -time in- vestors to make an 'educated" selection. Seek out qualified opinions. Stay abreast of industry news. Compare company literature. Ask questions. Do your home, work.
