Q. When was the friction match invented? W. 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".

Garbage and lack of
schools seem to be the two
main local issues in
Durham West.
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

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.

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

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

Free Trade - What Does It Mean?
Sure, it's complicated. But the free trade issue affects us
all. The results of the negotiations now in progress could
decide where you work, what you read or see on TV. what
you will be able to buy at the store. They will decide who
owns our companies and who directs our foreign policy.
They could put an end to our longstanding social services
such as OHIP and L'IC.
In fact, the future of Canada is being decided right now.
It's not easy to understand. We've got to start thinking
about things like "protective tamfs" and ''countervailing
duties" But the destiny of our nation is at stake. Free trade
affects every one of us. We've got to learn about the issues.
Come and listen to one of the great Canadians of our time.

trade A member of the Order of Canada, bur. Hurtig has

dependence and cultural identity of our nation.

world record for the 100 metre dash in Rome.
"Canada would not have his gold medal if his mother,

Jamaica 15 years ago", said the MP.
..Although his is now a world famous name, he is only one
of millions of immigrants who in their own way have made
Canada a better country." declared Reg Stackhouse.
He said that Johnson shows the benefit of the government
policy of increasing immigration.

Kurt Christensen's Court Case Adiourned
To October Or
by Gay Abbate
A police officer who ar-
rested Scarborough Alder-
man Kurt Christensen for
impaired driving last year
testified in court last week
that the alderman pleaded
to be let go and tried to pull
strings by phoning Clare
Westcott, the chairman of
the Metro Police Commis-
sion as his first call.
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

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-

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.
The lawyer. who was on-
ly recently hired after
Christensen fired his fust
lawyer, said the request for
more time to prepare a

last minute ploy.

RRSPs At Maturity - The New RRIF
You have undoubtedly
heard a lot about RRSPs . .
but are you aware of what
happens to your money
when you retire?
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 -

or the maturity date may
be based on your spouse's
age if he/she is younger.
If the RRIF holder dies
before age 90 and their
spouse is the beneficiary,
he/she will continue to
receive payments from the
RRIF. Otherwise, the
market value of the RRIF
is taken into the taxable in-

nuitant and the remainder
is passed on to the estate.

Board Comments On Reforms
According to The Board
of Trade of Metropolitan
Toronto, Canadian
business should expect "no
significant boost being
given to Canada's economy
or international com-
petitiveness" until after
the proposed reforms to the
federal sales tax system
have been implemented.
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.

Sorry, but you had better think twice about filing those
slips of paper in your glove compartment.
Because new legislation means that either you pay
the fine, request a trial if you wish to dispute the
alleged infraction or your vehicle permit and license
sticker will not be renewed.
You decide which option. It's that simple.
Should you receive a parking ticket, the
ticket itself will tell you if the munici-
pality issuing the ticket is using
the new legislation and what
your options are. All muni-
cipalities will be
using the new
legislation
by 1989.

HERITAGE
NOTES
Garrison Families at
Women and children were an
everyday part of military life at Fort
Wellington.
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.

Wellington National Historic Park.

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.

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

The current attraction at

Doubles• though

about four men who meet
weekly for a game of tennis
and in the camaraderie of

mention a gorgeous club at-

extreme; he lies, he cheats.
he plays practical jokes.
And vet, and yet he is

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

Mr. Gorshin plays the
role nicely. He exploits it
for all its comic juices but
does so without ever stoop-

ticularly enjoyed his
delivery of a line to his
lawyer buddy when paying
up a bet .. "Take the extra

just heavy enough that the

than chuckles. Some in the

suggested that the timing
was a bit off but we were

less than perfect timing,
it's probably because in

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

VIA Rail Introduces New
National Student Fare
VIA Rail Canada Inc. has
announced that it is in-
troducing a national stu-
dent fare which entitles all
full-time students to a 33
percent discount on basic
one-way coach fares
anywhere on the VIA
system.
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

evolved tremendously. offer -

For one thing, today's

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

Books Now Out
Two booklets from On-

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

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

everything from the Inter-
national Plowing Match in

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

water heating consumes the
largest amount of an average
horse's energy. Insulate your
water heater by taping a 2 fj-

careful not to cover any controls

be sure to keep the insulation
away from the pilot light at the
bottom of the heater.
3. INSULATING DUCTS
Ductwork, which carries air
from your furnace to the air

properly sealed and insulated to
prevent loss of heat.
Wrapping ducts requires sc*-

measuring tape, a ladder, a
flashlight, two-inch duct tape
and insulating batts.
Follow each duct run and
tape every joint with duct tape.

nr
Some 14ps to Platy It Smarm
If you are Considering a mutu-
al fund to help your savings

According to the Investment
Funds Institute of Canada. the
value of mutual funds managed
by its members increased by 49
percent in the fust six months of
1966, to a record $15.2 billion -
The reason? Individuals see

folio of securities managed by

Arthur Labatt, President of
Trimark Investment Marnage-
wow Inc., one of Carnda's lead-
ing mutual fund companies.
offers the new investor some
practical suggestions for select-
ing a fund.
I- Know Your Gael
A mutual fund is only one
part of your overall fhnancud
plan. Your financial needs and
your attitude toward risk should
shape your selection of a fund.
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.
How soon are you likely to
liquidate the funds to make a
large purchase?
4. Look At The Performance Of
The Fund
important consideration is a
fund's performance over the
long haul.
Look at a fwd's investment
returns over at least a five year
period. Thu will indicate wheth-
er the fund has performed well
in good markets and bad.
Inquire about the investment
management company as well
as its fwd. What is the track
record of the fwd manager?
Has the fwd manager changed
over time? What about after -
