Recently I was playing a trivia game with some friends. We had a dispute concerning the answer All Saints' Day be- ing the feast day following Hallowe'en. The dispute is over the answer I gave calling it All Souls' Day. Thugs, what I want to know is: Are All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day the same? C.D. A. Sorry, you lose this round. All Saints' Day is the feast day observed by Rosman Catholics and many Protestant denomination to honour all of the saints in heaven. It used to be called All Hallows' Day or Hallowamass. All Saints' Day is held on November 1st, the day after Halloween. All Souls' Day. on the other hand, is primarily a feast of the Ronan Catholic Church to commemorate the faithful departed - that is, those who died members of the faith. All Souls' Day is observed November 2nd. Q. How many illustrations did Norman Rockwell do during his career? M.H. A. The exact number of illustrations. posters and magazine covers Mr. Rockwell printed is unknown because almost all of his personal originals and records were destroyed in a fire that burned his Vermont studio to the ground in 1943. We do know that Rockwell began his career. which was to span six decades, with a commercial success. While still in high school he painted Christmas cards and illustrated his first book. Rockwell is familiar to most people through his magazine covers. Through his long, prolific career he completed 322 storytelling covers for The Saturday Evening Post as well as painting over 200 more for 80 different publications. His first cover called "Waves of the Moon" was published by Boy's Life in September 1913 and his last, "Celebration", appeared on American Artist in 1976. When Norman Rockwell died in Stockbridge, Massachusetts in 19M at the age of 84, on his easel was an unfinished painting of a Christian missionary trying to con- vert a Stockbridge Indian chief.

Nov. z5.1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Driving Habits by Bob Watson There seems to be a noticeable change in Metro area driving habits of late. The quality of driving is going down and we feel strongly that the police forces should be driving in the traffic flows to catch and straighten out these weird drivers before they cause a lot of trouble. This week we noticed at Markham Rd. and Finch E. at the red light a driver of a Volkswagen stopped at the red light and then as the opposite traffic flowed, the car lurched forward as if to go. A truck horn stopped the driver who must have been in a daze or ?? Have you noticed how many drivers stop about 10 feet back from the white line at a red light? Why do they do this? Look like incompetent drivers to us. Have you noticed how many drivers switch lanes without a light to indicate that they are turning? This is very dangerous. Have you noticed drivers at 40 kmh in the outside lane of a four lame road holding up other traffic? These are all dangerous drivers and we believe the police shouldn't spend all of their time biding to catch some speeders or checking for alcohol on the breath but how well people are driving. Letter To The Editor Sees Major Flaw Dear Sir. There is a major flaw in the new system of electing the Chairman of Metropolitan Toronto. The very best can- didates. the mayors with necessary qualifications and ex- perience are being disqualified- Tbey have a proven recall of administrative ability and an overall knowledge of city management. In at for then to qualify. they would be required to run for the munch lower office of Metro Councillor to compete for the Metro Chairmanship - not much sense and certainly no form of progression. It's like taking two steps forward and one step back. Having eliminated the best possible can- didates. consider the many new members of Metro Council in their first official act - selecting a chairman. Imagine the lobbying of the rookies, who would not be in a position to make an informed decision an a subject of such magnitude. My suggestion as proposed to the Robarts Conmhission during my term as alderman in 'North York Ward 7 in 197, 4, was that the current mernbes of Metro Council should select a chairman several months before the municipal elections, from the sitting members. This would be a truly informed decision. all having saved together for a three year term. with all of the most qualified candidates eligible. The province has taken a proper step in enacting direct elections to Metro. Members will be more accountable by running for a stated positron and not wear two hats. The patronage of appointing local councillors to Metro as a reward for past favours and as a down payment am future favours would cease. Lines of responsibility could be pro- perly delineated to reduce conflict with local and parochial issues. More positions should be removed from this type of patronage such as local planning boards and committees of adjustment. The public would be better served if they were elected positions which could be a training for higher office. As more face the public• accouantabdity would improve and the percentage of residents voting would likely increase. Appointments to the Police Commission. T.T.C., Exhibi- tion Board and the like, should be reserved for elected Metro Councillors and these bodies could become Metro Council Committees. Consideration should be given to the amalgamation of other Metro service such as the fire departments. Major services would be in the hands of elected people. A call by some for party politics should be rejected as regressive. Municipalities are free of the cons- tant opposition from those not in power. Anyone can now be elected on issues and respond to debate without hiding behind the cover of the party stand. Let us continue to make changes. but let these changes be in the direction of protec- ting the rights of the individual and free expression of ideas. Yours sincerely, Jack Bedder North York.

(Photo - Bob Watson) Campaign Against Drug Abuse A comprebetsive multidepartmental federal drug abuse strategy has been announced by Solicitor General James Kelleher. Youth Minister Jean Charest, Revenue Minister Elmer McKay, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark. Justice Minister Ray Hnatysbyn, and Health and Welfare Munger ger Jake Epp. The strategy consists of a $210 million, 5 -year plan to reduce drug abuse by allocating resources to initiatives in public education. treatment and rehabilitation, law en- forcement. and control and research. Health and Welfare Minister Jake Epp announced the strategy by committing the government to a public educa- tion campaign in coordination with the provinces, in addi- tion to support for both prevention and treatment initiatives at the community level. increased federal funding for drug and alcohol treatment and rehabilitation: the development of training programs and resources for professionals and volu=nteers: new legislation to replace the Narcotics Control Act and the Food and Drug Act. and to a more effiocient net- work for the wide -spread dissemination of all information relevant to drug use and abuse. Recognising that prevention is the key to controlling drug abuse and that knowledge is the key to prevention, the government is placing ux-reased emphasis on an educa- tional program to alert Canadians to the specifics of drug abuse. It is commonly accepted that at one time or another all young people will be forced to confront decision about whether or not to use drugs _ A ria jar component of the government's drug abuse strategy is to educate our youth to deal with these decisions.

John Eakins, Minister of Municipal Affairs, has announced plans to make Metro Toronto cou=ncil more ac- countable to voters. and to pernut better local government decision-making across Metro. He told the legislature he would introduce legislation within the next few weeks to implement a new system of gover:unet for Metro. "'Ibe existing system is confusing to votes." Mr. Eakirns said. "Some municipalities sed their boards of control to Metro council. while others send municipal councillors. Votes do not know who to hold responsible for decision about Metro issues... Under the new system, votes in 28 Metro Wards, to be established in time for the 1986 municipal election, wood directly elect Metro councillors. One would be elected from East York, four from Etobwoke, seven from North York, six from Scarborough, eight from Toronto and two from York. Those 28 Metro councillors, together with the mayors of the six municipalities, would form Metro council. The Metro chairman would be chosen by Metro council, from among the directly -elected councillors. Mr. Eakins said the provincial government would consult with the local municipalities that make up Metro to establish local wards that would accommodate the new system. The minister said he plans to remove the legislative requirement for Boards of Control. At the same time, he said he would encourage area municipalities to review the size of their councils. Mr. Eakins emphasized that the new system is the product of a long process of study and consultation. "The people of Metro deserve representatives at Metro council who can devote their full attention to important Metro issues,., he said. "They deserve a government they can understand, and they deserve a government they can hold accountable on election day." Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

Wed. Nov. 25, 1W THE NEWS/PORT Page 3 Centenary Launches Design Competition An architectural com- petition is underway to find a design for a combined health related shopping mall and medical office Wilding to be connected to Centenary Hospital. -Centenary is the first eartn- munity general hospital in Canada to initiate a design project of this scale, ac- commodating consumer needs by marrying the hospital with physicians' offices and health retail space. The proposed $10 million, four -storey structure will be located in front of Centenary and linked above ground to the hospital. It will provide consumers with one-stop shopping access to medical supplies and lifestyle ser- vices. The building will be com- pleted by spring 1989 and will house a minimum of 3000 sq.ft. of private of- fice space. On the ground floor. 20,000 sq.ft. of health related and other retail space will include a restaurant. pharmacy. op- tometrist. medical aids, and relocated and expand- ed volunteer gift shop and beauty salon. The project will be a source of revenue for Centenary and was plam- ed in response to the On- tario Government's Business Oriented New Development programme (B.O.N.D.) which en- courages hospitals to sup- plement their government funded operations. Centenary appointed John Sullivan, architect and partner in the local firm Sullivan and Pacek Inc., to coordinate the com- petion. The panel of seven judges, chaired by Donald Fleming, President of Equity Developnment Group Inc., includes members of the Land Redevelopment Committee of Centenary's Board of Governors and indepen- dent architect Geroge Baird. Mr. Baird, Professor of Architecture at the Univer- sity of Toronto, is a partner in the Toronto firm Baird/Sampson Architects which won the Canadian Architectural Award of Ex- cellence in 1985 for Spadina Park, Toronto Harbour - front Public Space. The competition has been narrowed down to submis- sions made by three firms: Bregman & Hamann - original architects for Centenary Hospital and ar- chitects for the Hone for the Aged under construc- tion adjacent to the hospital; Niche Owen Roland and Roy - original designers of the Clarke In- stitute of Psychiatry and Etobicoke General Hospital. The firm's cur- rent projects include the Toronto Dominion Bank and the Scarborough Operation Centre; and Zeidler Partnership - ar- chitects of the Eaton Cen- tre and the redevelopment of the Hospital for Sick Children. Panelists will judge detailed drawings of these three design proposals, as well as models costed by outside consultant Anthony Wallis, Q.S. Associates Ltd. They will make a recom- mendation to the Board of Governors for final ap- proval at the end of November.

Christensen told a pro- vincial court judge last week that his erratic behaviour, confusion and unsteadiness were caused not by excess booze but by a blinding migraine -type headache. He said he had only had two glasses of wine and half a glass of beer on the night of Dec. 10. He was arrested on Dec. 11th at 1:50 a. m. Christensen was previously convicted of impaired driv- ing in August, 1962. He denied the earlier testimony of Constable John Soffe who said Christensen was travelling northbound in the south- bound lane after leaving Zach's Emporium and Eatery on Eglinton at Dan- forth Rd. Soffe said the ward 4 alderman weaved across lanes. made an illegal left turn and went up on the me- dian before being pulled overand arrested on Ken- nedy Rd_ just south of Eglinton. He described Christensen as "close to falling down drunk Christensen denied his driving was erratic and said he was driving "sen- sibly. slowly and ley,. Constable Peter Galler. a breathalyzer expert at 41 Division testified that Christensen was "abusive. cocky and very un- cooperative". Alderman Christensen testified that he began to suffer from these headaches on Nov. 7 -then he was taken to Scar- borough General Hospital with the same symptoms as those he displayed the night of his arrest. He was given a Tylenol at the hospital and sent home. He said he began to feel ill on Dec. 10 while at a din- ner given by the Scar- borough Library Board where he consumed his two glasses of wine. He said he left around 11 p.m. and went to his mother's place because he was feeling so ill. After taking two Tylenol 8's and resting for an hour he felt good enough to go to Zach's "to ser some consti- tuents and wish the owner a happy new year". He said he was also checking up to see how the city's new non- smoking by-law was work- ing at Zack's. Christensen remained at Zach's about 30 minutes past closing time after be- ing given a beer by some people. When asked by crown attorney John McMahon why he went to the restaurant and stayed so long if he wasn't feeling well, he replied, "I'm a social animal". The alderman complains ed about the way he was treated the night of his ar- rest. He said the officers refused to give him any privacy to phone a lawyer Brighten Up A Day Several Scarborough agencies are looking for volunteers to visit seniors.

Christensen said he phon- ed Westcott because he is an old family friend and he wanted to get advice because of the way the cops were treating him. McMahon suggested the call to Westcott was an at- tempt to go over Soffe's head. Christensen said Westcott only told him to get himself a good lawyer. He was kept in jail over- night and upon his release filed charges against the police officers handling the case. He withdrew them on the advice of his lawyer. McMahon suggested they were withdrawn after Christensen and his lawyer saw a videotape of the police interview. The police routinely videotape inter- views in case of complaints about harassment or mistreatment. Christensen complained he tried eight times while he was in the jail cell to persuade an officer to get him a doctor because he was still feeling ill from the headache. However. he ad- mitted. upon questioning. that he never informed the arresting officer or any other officer at the station prior to being ji ikd that he was feeling ill and needed medical attention.

L5, 1767 Stoop & THE SET RESTAURANT NIGHT CLUB THE SET NIGKT CLUB Scoop Campaign Planned by Gay Abbate A Scarborough commit- tee wants to embark on a public education campaign aimed at getting dog owners to "stoop and scoop" after their dogs. The campaign, endorsed by the recreation and parks committee last week, will include brochures, flyers, notices in local papers and free "stoop and scoop" bags in parks for those dog owners who leave home without one. Alderman Brian Ashton said something has to be done because dog excre- ment is adding to the pollu- tion problem at the beaches and the lake. He said that special "Club Med Poop Palaces" in parks are too costly and don't work. The campaign which must be approved by Council in the 1988 budget will cost about $6.000.

Armenian Pope Was Here His Holiness Vazken 1, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians visited the Alex Manoogian Cultural Cen- tre on Progress Court at Markham Rd. on Sat. and Sun. Nov. 14th and 15th. The Armenians claim that theirs was the first church back in the year 307! Terrific Food! We had dinner at the Howard Johnson Hotel recently and has the food ever changed. According to the new general manager of the hotel, Joe Zammit, changes have been made in the chef's area resulting in a delightful cuisine. We had a lovely clear soup with a few vegetables, followed by halibut steak which was cooked just right. A baked potato with sour cream plus vegetables made the main course very tasty. For dessert we gorged on ice cream sundaes which are always good at Ho Jo's. Try their food - it's top notch! Spadina House We had a chance to go over the Spadina House, which is next to Casa Lama an Spading Rd. What a beautiful old home located on six acres of ground with a terrific view of the city of Toronto. The Toronto Historical Board has refinished almost all of the house. We asked how many sq. ft. the house was. The answer: 22,000 sq. ft. Now that's a house! Of course, the rooms are gorgeous and everyone should make a rete to visit Spadina House in the very near future. Our thanks to Linda Quick for showing us around.

The board's letter re- quests the minister to sup- port an amendment to Bill C-64 eliminating the limita- tion of tax -preferential IBC status to only Montreal and Vancouver. The Bill is now before the House of Com- mons Finance Committee. The board urges Mr. Wilson to "remove the designation of particular communities and to permit all Canadian cities an equal opportunity to compete for international business in financial services." "We've been fighting for equal treatment across Canada in the IBC issue since 19112." said Ron Robertson, Chairman of the board's Ad Hoc Com- mittee on International Banking Centres. "It's too important an issue for Canada's carttpetitiveness to stop protesting until equality is achieved... The Finance Committee. chaired by MP Don Blenharn, a declared oppo- nent of the IBC proposal. is expected shortly to review Bill r-64 which amends the Income Tax Act. The Bill then returns to the House for final reading. Mr. Wilson's present IBC proposal exempts financial institutions located only in Montreal and Vancouver from paying tax on profits generated from loans to non-residents made using funds from non-resident deposits.t is designed to lure such activity away from offshore tax -havens. The board's concern is ithat the proposed range of tax-exempt activity will be expanded, thereby drawing financial activity away from other non -IBC Cana- dian cities and preventing them from competing for such offshore business. The Board of Trade's submission cites a list of additional financial ser- vices, including foreign ex- change, that the Province of British Columbia has said it wants to make tax- exempt if they are con- ducted in Vancouver. The Province of Quebec already has legislation in place that gives provincial tax preference to a wide range of financial services. providing they are carried an in Montreal. The board argues that Mr. Wilson or a successor will be unable to resist demands by B.C. and Quebec to broaden the range of tax-free activity. particularly if only Van- couver and Montreal are granted IBC status and says the board unless all cities are eligible. such an Business Briefs More Spilled Workers %eeded The manufacturing and construction industries have ex- panded so rapidly in the past four years that the dernand for certain skilled workers in key industries has exceeded the supply. according to a report released by the Ministry of Skills Development. The report, entitled "Assessment of Occupational Shor- tages m Ontario's Manufacturing and Construction In- dustries" emphasizes that persistent labor shortages in these occupations could place a constraint on the capacity of these industries to expand.

MIS Sales See Rise MIS residential sales for October totalled 3,934. an in- crease of 11 percent over September, Board President John Ohiver has announced. "An increase in sales is usual for this time of year," the President said, adding "it is too early to assess the impact of the stock market crash and the subse- quent decline in interest rates on the housing market." However if October sales are any indication, consumer con- fidence remains very strong, Mr. Oliver said, noting that this is the second consecutive month sales have increased.

Overall vacancy in Metropolitan Toronto is anticipated to decline to 6.3 percent. The continuation of tightening market conditions will place increasing pressure on rental rates. Inducements also will become less generous. Office development requirements of the downtown market increasingly will be fulfilled by the area west of the financial core.

Lasers - Tool Or Weapon`' Lasers - they've become a symbol of modern technology, filling the movie screens and comic books as well as news reports with intense beams of colour. How much of what we see is myth and how much is reality? What's new with lasers? Has the use of lasers in defence technology produc- ed benefits for industry and medicine? Are they a healing tool, a deadly weapon - or both? On Wed. Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m. the Canadian Society for the Weizman Institute of Science will present four ac- complished laser scientists in a panel discussion of their work in medicine, defence and solar energy at the Ontario Science Centre which is currently featuring a special ex- hibition of holography - three dimensional art produced with laser light.

If the present legislation goes ahead, the board of trade believes that the left - out provinces would seriously consider legisla- tion of their own to redress the situation. "The last thing a federal government should be doing, in our view, is helping rekindle ;provincial rivalry by en- couraging self-defeating tax preferences such as contributed to Canada's economic problems in the 1930's," it stated. The board also feels that the IBC proposal "is direct- ly contrary to one of the most important objectives of tax reform. i.e.. com- petitiveness, and the abili- ty of Canada to meet inter- national competition without domestic con- straints that warp natural market faces and are not experienced in other jurisdictions... Board Committee Chair- man Robertson sums up the situation: "7Tre IBC issue really goes beyond damaging Toronto's inter- national reputation. It's simply bad tax policy. We understand the govern- ment's desire to stimulate certain regions. but we think that using Canada's tax system to counteract market forces is out of touch with economic real- ty..

Nov. 25, 1967 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: Swan Lake is the final presentation of the Na- tional Ballet's current engagement at The O'Keefe. As we began drafting our rough notes for a review, we realized that our reviews of the earlier offer- ings have seemed to stress the company's gifts of the other muses rather than those of Terpsichore. That was unintentional and we can ascribe it only to the fact that the Na- tional's continued ex- cellence in pure dance makes one prone to take it for granted or, even worse, as one's due. With that as an apologia we must now none the less address ourself to the emo- tional content of this latest production or, at least, the one we reviewed. Sadly. we found it slow, certainly cold and almost moribund though it was danced com- petently and approached the usual excellence of metier. Rex Harrington played the Prince in a manner reminiscent of a high schooler doing Romeo without having studied the diaracter of the ill-fated young man. In a word, be was languid. His dancing was beyond criticism, however. One was most impressed by a movement - the term for which temporarily eludes us - in which he does a reverse split in the air. His legs snap apart like the legs of scissors wielded by a nimble tailor of Olympus. Yes, we know that's fan- cifW but that was our inn - pression. His strength as evidenced by superb lifts more than belies his aristocratically slue body. Yet there was no dieter nible emotion. certainly no passion except for one brief moment with the White Swan. Sad to say, the rest of the performance seemed given ower to narcissism. Gixella Witkow�sky was melancholy rather than sad as Odette and petulant rather than lascivious as Odile though her dancing was precise and almost im- peccable in both holes. Even reliable Hazaros Surmeyan m the dual role of Tutor and blaster of Ceremonies seemed restrained and one wished for the ural flamboyance _ _ �Z� _ru JG�x��� eL�»coaas�ct DON?

The reluctant conclusion is reached that not all of the dancers mentioned were having an off night but were following direction. that's a pity because of all the ballets Swan Lake would seem to be the one in which the emotions and emotionalism can be given virtually free rein. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Swan Lake is always enjoyable - pro- bably our favourite and there was much to enjoy in its performance. Victoria Bertram was properly villainous as the Black Queen, a role that cannot be humanized. Owen Montague much impressed in the pas de trots with Cynthis Lucas and Cynthia Macedo and in the Spanish Dance with Stephanie Landry, Brenda Matthews and Peter Ott - And mention must be made of the excitement generated by Kim Lightheart and Jeremy Ransom in the Neopolitan Dance. They scintillated through their movements with a manifest elan that aroused an audience that had been perilously close to apathy. hope we have not been over harsh in our assessment of this one per- formance; may it suffice to say that we enjoyed it but have enjoyed others so much more. Let it suffice too that we will always welcome Swan Lake and any presentation of it by the National Ballet. ON RECORD: Carillon Christmas (At- tic) is a pleasant album recommended for your Holiday listening or any time. Carillon is actually the name of the studio group performing the music but it derives the tame from the lead instrument which is the carilbn of St. George's Anglican Church in Guelph - of the songs are traditional Dirt all of them are pleasant as played by young musicians usually more at home in the more modern genres. Oh Cane, Ob Came, Emmanuel is tastefully done and The Beating of Winter Wings snakes one think of a crisp winter's day watching winter birds in flight. We don't know what studio gimmickry has been used to mute the sounds of the carillon but it is most effective and softens the sometimes harsh sound of carillons on record.

Although this is a nest ex - Planation is unforbinate- ly true. The real description, however, while not as picturesque, is much more interesting and involves science you can observe for yourself. U a storm is far away. the sound of the thurhder is faint but of a low pitch. You bear only a very low rumbl- ing sound. For a closer storm, say within a few kilometres, you bear a higher pitched crack short- ly after the lightning bolt that initiated the peal of thunder, then the very loud low pitched rumbling. U the storm is quite close, say within a kilometre, only a sharp sound like a dynamite ex- plosion is heard. People who have been very close to a lightning bolt report a hissing sound preceding the explosion of the thunder. It is, of course, the lightn- ing bolt that produces the thunder. Lightning is a very large electrical cur- rent flowing through a col- umn of air that has been made electrically conduc- ting by a leader, a smaller current preceding the main return stroke, which is the one we see. This return stroke heats the column of air up to 25,000 C, causing it to ex- pand. As a result, the air pc ssure rises in a fast pulse. A rapidly ung air pressure is a sound wave, and a rapid pulse contains all frequencies, or pitches, from high to low. If the storm is nearby, the noise is simply the ex- plosive sound of this mix- ture of frequencies. If the lightning bolt is very close, the hissing sound is that of the lightrring bolt leader, a precursor to the main high current bolt that follows Mid produces the dxxx er. Although sound t rwoeis in air at about 330 metres a second, the higher frequen- cies actually travel a tittle taster than the lower ones. This phenomenon is coned mon. If the storm is further away, then the higher frequencies in the sound wave arrive at yon ear noticeably before the low can and so the high pitched crack is heard Cyst, followed by the low pitched rumble. This phenomenon of dispersion is common to all wave notions that travel through a medium such as sound waves in air. The radio waves from pulsars travel to us through hun- dreds of thousands of light years of interstellar space, space which is not empty, but contains (on average) a few atoms of hydrogen in every cubic metre. The radio waves travel through the interstellar medium and suffer disper- sion. re received ams a rdesce ding whistle that allows astronomers to determine the density of the in- terstellar medium. In the case of sound waves, the higher frequen- cies are attenuated more strongly than the low fre- quencies and so die away more quickly. If the storm is very far away, therefore, the high frequency crack becomes Inaudible and on- ly the later low frequency rumble is heard. Since sound travels at about 300 metres a second or one kilometre in three seconds, the distance to a lightning bolt can be deter- mined easily. The light corms to us virtually in- stantaneously, so if you note the time between the flash and the thunder the flash will be one kilometre .away for every three :seconds.

New Heart Drug Very Promising, Cardiologist Says A new blood clot - dissolving agent could revolutionize the medical treatment of heart attack victims, says a cardiologist at Scarborough Grace General Hospital. Dr. L. John Charles says the hospital has successfully used tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) to treat patients in the hours im- mediately after a heart at- tack. Nine patients have been treated with the drug at the Grace, all with good results, Dr. Charles said. "This drug promises to revolutionize the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)." Dr. Charles and Dr. Robert S. Nitkin are co- ordinating the Scarborough hospital's participation in a Canada -wide study. To date, 198 patients across Canada have received the drug in the first few hours after a heart attack. Patients are assessed in the Emergency Depart- ment and, if they meet cer- tain criteria, they are given relevant information about the drug and the research Project. If they agree to participate, they are entered in the study and given the drug. To be effec- tive, the drug must be given within six hours of the onset of a heart attack. The study is funded by Genetech Canada, manufacturer of TPA. Funds provided to the Scar- borough Grace for its par- ticipation will be used to purchasement rs books eqw - hospital.

Serving the Community Since 1950 i Page 12 -IW NEWS POST Wed. Nov. 29, 1967 Majestic Sun Rooms Inc. A Young Company With A Bright Future Majestic Sun Rooms Inc. is a Scarborough based firm that designs. manufactures and installs custom sun room additions in the residential and cot- tage markets. It currently produces a three season glass and aluminum system and distribute a four season insulated system. Wood systems and com- bination wood and aluminum are currently on the drawing board. They should be in full swing this spring according to Ma- jesties designer Art Gauthier. The president of Majestic Sun Rooms Inc. is Dennis Penner. The former cattle rancher from Winnipeg now lives in Pickering with his wife Agnus and their four children. He is a straight forward honest guy with a solid work ethic and a get the job done right attitude. In the last year the Ma jestic name has popped uF in many locations: Displays have been set uF in exhibit shows from Belleville to Cambridge and most points in bet- ween. Special event sponsor- ship was established to run the Majestic Sun Rooms Formula 2000 race car at the Molson Indy Weekend. With D'Arcy Kennedy, last year's Ontario Formula 2000 Champion, at the wheel and Majestic F20W managed a credible 10th place finish in a field of 28 cars. This fall Majestic began their Charlie cartoon ad series. Using the Watson Publishing seven paper weeklies as a test gmui d. Charlie will appear in a series of entertaining pro- blems. His wife will sug- gest a Majestic sun room as the solution to the situa- tions he will encounter and Majestic hopes you will en- joy flipping to the cartoon to see what Charlie is up to next. In the end the product must stand on its own and Majestic feels they have developed a first rate sun room for a necessary market. Backed by people with a genuine interest in looking after their customers and a product priced to be affor- dable it would seem that Majestic Sun Rooms Inc. have all the ingredients to become a great success.

If you dread the hoLdaNs rc,.,use shopping for gifts leaves you fraz- zled, note this advice at the top of Your gift list. "Simple, personalized gifts are always most appreciated; they say you really care•" Such pre- sents keep gift giving as enjoyable for the giver as it is for the recipient. A great but sun* gift idea for a single friend or someone who enjoys tea at the office is a one -cup china or Porcelain teapot. Many stores also have tea mugs with snatching lids. Or, select an appropriate mug and create your own personalized lid by deco- rating the flat part of a widemouth jar lid. Tea lovers will appreciate this gift because it allows them to brew a per- fect cup of tea, keeping all the tea essence and aroma in an enclosed container. An enclosed porcelain container delivers far better flavor than a disposable cup or metal pot, according to the Tea Council of Canada. Add a variety of good quality tea bags and a festive ribbon. You could also add a small tea caddy. as good tea requires an airtight container to retain its excellent flavor and aroma. Homebaked goods also are prac- tical gifts. These delicious Fruitcake Cupcakes are ideal for gifts or for casual entertaining. The cupcakes are miniature versions of traditional fruitcakes. Bake them in muffin pans and top with a glace cherry. lite miniature fruitcakes are quick to prepare and bake. Unlike tradi- tional fruitcakes, they do not require locg a.Irs_c t ;;>< to men,µ Intact, thcy're first viten within a few days after baking. Rich Cream Cheese cookies are another scrumptious treat to tuck in a lunch bag or to serve with a cup of refreshing hot tea. When brewing tea, always use a good quality tea and rinse the pot or mug first with hot water to "hot the pat." Add the tea bag and pour boiling water over it. Cover and let steep 3 to 5 minutes. Remove tea bag and add milk or lemon and sugar to taste, if desired.

This is one of our favourites: On a Christmas Eve long ago. Pepita was sad. This little Mexican girl wanted more than anything to give a fine present to the Christ Child at the church service that evening. But she was very poor and had no gift. As she walked sorrowfully to church with her cousin Pedro, he tried to console her. "Pepita. " he said. "I am certain that even the most humble gift, given in love, will be acceptable in His eyes. " So Pepita gathered a bouquet of com- mon weeds from the road- side and entered the church.
