If there are complaints of
traffic violations at school

By law, drivers must

A Biased Act
by Bob Watson
The high school students of Scarborough are getting a lot
of propaganda in a play being presented by the Theatre in
the Rough troupe. Last week Stephen Leacock Collegiate
students were subjected to singing, dancing, acting and au-
dience participation in which the troupe's seven actors
were supposed to have transmitted the horrors of apartheid
in South Africa and racism in their own city.
Although we didn't see the performance, the theatre com-
pany founder and director, Amah Harris, said it was meant
"to help students understand the injustices in an apartheid
system and recognize the need to stop racism". He then ad-
ded, according to the Toronto Star "in 10 years you will
have children and how you raise them will determine
whether racism and apartheid happen right here".
Well, South Africa and Canada are two different places
and cannot be compared in any way, in our opinion - and we
have been to South Africa, unlike most of the Canadian
commentators.
Canadian standards cannot be placed on South Africa.
The performance of black governments in the surrounding
countries in Southern Africa emphasizes the problem.
Almost all of them have gone to dictatorships and com-
munism, which is dictatorship. If every black African got
the vote in South Africa today, it would be the blacks who
would suffer the economic consequences. The situation is
not an easy one to change into a better condition for
everyone.
Look at Zimbawee (formeriy white -run Rhodesia) ! The
black government has abolished the 10 white seats in
Parliament and is switching to a dictatorship form of
government. Last week 16 white missionaries and their
children were butchered by black terrorists.
So you can see that racism exists among black people just
as among white people. In this world racism exists the least
in Metro Toronto than anywhere else - and let us not forget
that !

Just as council became dissatisfied with the way the Fair

tee to study the problem. it may be a good idea for council
to set up a study committee to preview the committee selec-

cannot be manipulated if they are provided with clear,
factual information in time to make effec-

the role of the elected representatives to see that this is
done. It is the role of the planning staff to provide such in-
formation.

NO HELP WITHOUT RIGHTS
Reg Stackhouse, M.P. Scarborough West, says Canada
should offer peacekeeping help to Central America only if
its five governments respect human rights.
Chairman of the House of Commons Standing Committee
on Human Rights, he was part of the Canadian delegation
that visited Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras
and Costa Rica.
"In all of them, except Costa Rica, I heard responsible
people claim human rights violations are still critical. Con-
ditions may be better than they were but are they good
enough?" He points out that one of the requirements of the
recently signed Central American peace agreement is a
"democratization" that includes respect for human rights.
If the five republics ask Canada to help with peacekeep-
ing personnel, Stackhouse says, we should not commit
ourselves until they commit themselves to their people's
rights. "Let us use our moral leverage when it can count.
The time when our influence is greatest is when another
government wants what we have to offer."
The Accord, he said, calls for freedom of the press, radio
and television without "prior censorship". It also means
political pluralism. Where there is a state of emergency on
neige, it should be replaced by the rule of the law.
Stackhouse adds the governments of Central America
should commit themselves to what the Canadian Charter
calls -fundamental rights".
Wellness In Action Conference
What do the following things have in common: The
arnount of exercise we get, the activities we enjoy, our
nutritional attitudes and habits, the way we manage stress
and spend our leisure time, our ability to fight illness and
disease. even the design of our civic buildings? The answer
is encapsulated in a single word - wellness.
Each of the above factors which have an impact on our
personal well-being and they farmed the basis for the se-
cond annual "Wellness In Action '87 Conference" held at
the Inn -an -the -Park Hotel Tues. Dec. 1.
Wellness in Action was organized by Optima, a Canadian
group working to achieve personal and community we11-
being. The conference is also supported through the Ontario
Ministries of Tourism and Recreation, Health, Government
Services and Labour. The YMCA of Metropolitan Toronto.
the YWCA of Metropolitan Toronto. the Industrial Accident
Prevention Association, the Occw iibonal Health and Safe-
ty Education Authority, the Donwood Institute and many
other organizations and individuals dedicated to wellness.
Simple Answer!
li Bob Watsm
Well. the City at Toronto government and Metro govern -
meat have finally recognized all of our roads are plugged
with traffic! Perhaps more officials are having to drive
their own cars! But their answer to the problem is more
police action on parking. Heaver help us all. The answer is
obvious. After 13 years of more and more citizens with
more and morn cars and trucks. we need more and more
road systems - especially expressways. For some unknown
reason our politicians from both municipal and provincial
levels cannot understand the need for the Spadina Ex-
pressway. the Scarborough Expressway and Highway 407.
So they lead to the Pickering airport - which we believe we
need as well!
The answer dear politicians is not police enforcement - it
is tax dollars and cents into road construction - and we creed
it now! Please!

The Great Canadian
Demographic Quiz
"Eh"' has been called the great English Canadian
monosyllable.
While Statistics Canada doesn't know whether it's the
first monosyllable spoken by English Canadians, eh, 1986
Census information can tell us what percentage of Cana-
dians claim English as their "mother tongue", eh.
Is that: a) 73%: b) 92%; c) 61%.
Louis St. Laurent, a former Prime Minister of Canada
once said that he didn't know at fust that there were two
languages in Canada. He just thought that there was one
way to speak to his father and one way to speak to his
mother.
The 1986 Census was the fust census in which Canadians
such as St. Laurent could indicate more than one mother
tongue, if those languages had been learned simultaneous-
ly, and were spoken as frequently during childhood.
Approximately how many Canadians reported both
French and English as their mother tongues? a) 14,000; b)
333.000 or c) 1,112,000.

PUBLIC HEARINGS ON FREE TRADE: KEEPING THE
COMMITMENT
During the recent election campaign, Premier David
Peterson promised to hold public hearings to explain the
Ontario Government's opposition to the proposed Canada -
U.S. free trade deal and to give members of the public, the
opportunity to express their opinions. Keeping this commit-
ment, public hearings by the Cabinet Sub -committee on the
free trade deal began this week at Queen's Park.
The hearings are designed as an educational farm to
allow people to put forward their points of view, whether in
favour or against the deal. Chairman of the Sub -committee,
Industry, Trade and Technology Minister Monte Kwinter
said the hearings will not change the Government's opposi-
tion to the proposed deal.
Mr. Kwinter said the Sub -committee will release Govern-
ment documents on sections of the proposed agreement as
they come up for discussion. For example, Ontario Govern-
ment studies on the auto sector will be updated and releas-
ed.
At the hearings, Mr. Kwinter said the acid test of any free
trade agreement is whether or not it achieves secure access
to markets in the United States. He said the proposed deal
fails this test.
"Our concern and the reason why we are not prepared to
support this (dal) is that we don't have secure access,"
said Mr. Kwinter. "No: only do we not have secure access,
but we have very little more than before we went into this. -
"What we have done is literally given away the store to
W something that we didn't get. That is the basic
Problem," Mr. Kwinter said at the hearings.
The first presentation to the Subcommittee was an over-
view of the elements at the proposed deal given by trade ex-
perts of the Ontario goverment. Explaining what the docu-
ment will mean for Ontario were Special Trade Policy Ad-
visor to the Prea her, Robert Latimer and Deputy Minister
of Industry, Trade and Technolog•. Patrick Lavelle.
On the second day of hearings, Mr. Latimer told the Sub-
committee.
umcommittee, "You don't have the kind of security of access
that people were talking about as the objective in the
negotiation of this arrangement."
Mr. Latimer said the dal failed to exempt Canada from
U.S. trade remedy lacus. In other words, Canada and On-
tario are still vulnerable to the application of U.S. counter-
vail and anti-dumping laws.
AUTO SECTOR: NO GAIN
Speaking on the auto sector, Mr. Lavelle said Canadian
incentives to auto companies to locate here will be ended
when the deal carves into effect. Mr. Lavelle said that the
changes in the proposed agreerriert will mean foreign
automakers will be more likely to locate in the United
States in the future.
"Foreigners may be mace incurred to invest in the United
States because the new trade agreement will encourage the
use of North American parts, reducing previous incentives
to use Canadian parts." said Mr. Lavelle.
He said that incentives which brought such auto plants as
Honda to Alliston and Toyota to Cambridge will be main-
tained by a ..grandfathering" clause which allows current
agreements to continue until 1996.
On the second day of bearings, the Sub-cornrnittee also
beard from Mr. Alasdair McKichan, President of the Retail
Council of Canada, who supports the proposed dal, calling
it better than no deal.
On the third day of hearings, the comnutte was addressed
by Mark McConnell, legal counsel for the Ministry of in-
dustry, Trade and Technology in Washington. As well. the
National Action Council on the Status of Women and the On -
tufo Federation of Labour made representations to the
committee.
Hydro Sells World Management System
Ontario Hydra has sold Wisconsin Power & Light the
right to use its Regional Work Management System
(RWMS) and several associated data bases. The purchase
pace was $100,000.
The system was developed by Hydro to identify routine
and repetitive maintenance procedures as wellas project
maintenance for all equipment requiring a regular
maintenance schedule. The RWMS is.currently used by
about 50 work groups in Hydra's regions.
Wisconsin Power described the Hydro computer program
as "the premier system of all it had examined". The com-
pany will use Ontario Hydra's computer facilities at fust,
but has the right to transfer the system to its own computer
later.

Over 500 Liberals Attend Meeting Of New Scarborough Rouge River Federal Riding
by Gay Abbate
The founding meeting for
the new federal riding of
Scarborough Rouge River
turned ugly as the old
guard closed ranks to pro-
tect itself from a challenge
by new Liberals.
Although some 400 new
members were signed up
just prior to Nov. 24, the
cut-off period to be eligible
to vote and stand for elec-
tion. not a single new
Liberal was elected to any
of the 29 executive posi-
tions.
This brought accusations
from both old and new
Liberals. The new
Liberals, most of them
East Indians, say the old
guard purposely froze
them out of the executive
because they are afraid of
change.
The old-time Liberals
say they had to close ranks
because of the threat posed
by the inexperience of the
new Liberals.
A number of the old
guard - most of them
members of the old York
Scarborough riding which
was split into Scarborough
Rouge River and Scar-
borough Agincourt - say the
attempt to take over the
riding was masterminded
by Dr. Bhausaheb Ubale, a
federal human rights com-
missioner.
Dan McTeague who last
out for president to Ossie
Blackwood by a mere 5
votes, said Dr. Ubale
wanted his slate to win in
order to gain support for
his nomination bid for the
us
next federal election.
Dr. Ubale denies trying
to take over the associa-
tion. He said he was there
merely as an observer. He
joined the riding associa-
tion the night of the
meeting but could not vote.
He would neither deny nor
confirm his candidacy for
the riding's nomination.
Although over 500 people
attended the meeting only
237 ballots were cast. Some
East Indian leaders said
many people had to leave
and were unable to vote
because the meeting was
late in starting and dragg-
ed out too long. Voting did
not start until almost 10:30
and the outcome of the vote
was not announced until 1
a.m.
Christmas Concert Includes Gifts Of Food

Cruising
North to
Alaska
PORT OF VANCOUVER —
The Alaska -bound ships that
cruise the Inside Passage be-
tween Vancouver and South-
eastern Alaska have become
one of the hottest vacation
items on the continent.
From May to October the
cruise lines collectively sail 19
ships that make more than
200 trips on the seven-day
voyage that features spectacu-
lar scenery in addition to
personalized service and fine
dining.
The cruises have been in-
creasing in popularity yearly
since 1982. Last season's
boarding in Vancouver of
313,881 passengers was 50074
higher than rave years ago.
And amazingly, it was even
higher by 4% than the num-
ber of passengers who cruised
during Vancouver's Expo '86
year. Most passengers took
advantage of the pre -cruise
and post -cruise hotel pack-
ages that many lines offer
with their cruise.
The popularity of the
cruises was instrumental in
the Federal Government creat-
ing its $27 million Canada
Place, a state -of -the -an cruise

Vancouver Harbour and it
has become the waterfront

geous city.
Why does the Vancouver -
to -Alaska cruise continue to
be so popular'' For starters,
with prices as low as 5950,
Alaska cruises are an inexpen-
sive way to get the luxury of
an ocean cruise while at the
same time experiencing some
of the most pristine and
remote wilderness in the world
that includes passing pods of
killer whales.
But it's more than the rea-
sonable cost that attracts pas-
sengers. While the on -board

Alaska and the Inside Pas-
sage such a lure.
Ketchikan, with its weath-
ered "Cannery Row" cluster
of waterfront buildings is
Alaska's salmon capital and
houses a rich collection of
Tlingit and Haida Indian artif-
acts. In Juneau, Alaska's cap-
ital, there's gold panning or
river rafting, a tour of the
Mendenhall Glacier, or the
local color of the notorious
Red Dog Saloon, complete
with sawdust floor.
But the highlight of the
cruise is the Glacier Bay
National Monument, where
centuries old glaciers meet
Once more leaving the
mainland, this time via the
Overseas Highway, U.S. 1,
beach seekers come to a
series of islands known as
the Florida Keys. These lit-
tle chunks of coral trailing
off the southern tip of
Florida in a westerly direc-
tion are a paradise for
scuba diving, snorkeling,
:fishing and eating fresh
seafood. But the Keys offer
only a few choice sandy
beaches.
Try Bahia Honda, an
island with a state park by
the same name, on the
southern end of the Seven
Mile Bridge; Long Key,
site of Long Key state
recreation area; or Key
West, where colorful resi-
dent characters frolic on
three different municipal
strips of sand.
FLORIDA'S WEST COAST
Back on the mainland,
beach sampling resumes
an sands gently lopped by
the Gulf of Mexico.
Generally Speaking, these
beaches slope so gradually
into the Gulf that bathers
may walk out hundreds of
yards during low tide, and
find the warm Gulf waters
only corning up to their
knees -
There are distinct advan-
tages to having such a gen-
tle surf and sloping beach.
Shells. And the beaches of
the Lee Island Coast. in-
ciudimg those surrounding
Sanibel and Captiva

one of the three best shell-
ing sites in the Western

For the many questions that
passengers bring with them,
park naturalists come aboard
to discuss the local fauna and
wildlife, which includes puf-
fins, whales, seals and eagles.
.Alaska cruising provides
something for everyone: com-
fort and luxury, scenery, extra-
ordinary glimpses of wildlife
and historical ports of call.

Bill Watt's Worlds
IN PRINT:
The giving of books is,
like Shakespeare's quality
of mercy, twice blessed.
The recipient enjoys great
pleasure from a well
chosen book and the donor
derives equal pleasure in
reading it first. Here are
several books recommend-
ed for Christmas, or
anytime, giving.
Biographies are popular
and the following three will
be well received.
Anything Goes by Brian
Gallagher (Times
Books 1 Random House) is
the story of Neysa McMein.
Older readers will recall
her but younger ones might
require some background.
Neysa McMein was the
darling of the fashionable
set and a regular fixture
among the Algonquin
Round Table crowd in the
New York of the Twenties.
She was famous for her ex-
travagant parties, her
clever party games and for
her pretty -girl illustrations
seen on the covers of many
magazines of the time.
Her studio became a
salon where on almost any
given day one could meet
the leading figures of the
smart set. Irving Berlin
might be picking out a tune
on her grand piano, Cole
Porter too; George Ger-
shwin previewed his Rhap-
sody in Blue there. Harpo
Marx might be clowning
with Ruth Gordon while
Tallulah Bankhead
gossiped with Alexander
Woolcott.
Anything Goes is a large-
ly anecdotal story of her
life filled with storied
characters who il-
luminated what was pro-
bably the greatest period of
development of the arts in
American history.
Some might argue that
the book is light but such
will be tasting the froth, not
the coffee. Hmm, one
wonders if Woolcott the
bully would have ap-
preciated that comment.
Myrna Loy is Peps
best remembered as the
favourite screen partner of
William Powell. Myrna
Loy - Being and Becoming
(Alfred A. Knopf) written
with James Kotsilibas-
Davis is a nice telling of her
life from its start as a
young girl in Montana
( Gary Cooper lived down
the street) to her beginn-
ings in the Hollywood of the
twenties - yes. she goes
back that far - and on to her
political activities.
As one might expect,
hundreds of personalities
are mentioned and we
found pleasure in reading
about a few we had almost
forgotten; Conrad Nagel.
Lionel Atwill, Franchot
Tone and so many others.
The book is quite
generous with photographs
as well. There are over 50
in black and white.
Something interesting to
recall is that during the Se -
cad World War. she made
only one film. preferring
and choosing to devote
herself to Red Cross ac-
tivities. Quite a
remarkable woman and a
most enjoyable book.
Verdi is another in the
excellent Vintage Random
House series of canposer
biographies that we have
mentioned previously -

Written by Julian Bud-
den it might well be the
repository of "everything
you've ever wanted to
know" about Verdi. It's
quite detailed but not so
much so as to make for dif-
ficult reading.
As with the other books in
the series, the chief value,
for us at least, is the appen-
dix with calendar, list of
works, personalia and
glossary of nineteenth cen-
tury operatic terms.
An excellent reference
book.
ONSCREEN:
We fund it difficult to
assess Wall Street (Twen-
tieth Century Fox) .
Young stock broker suc-
cumbs to the temptation of
easy wealth by unethical
means, realizes the error of
his way but has to suffer
before his redemption. The
story is familiar enough
and no one begrudges its
re -telling. After all, it's a
good morality issue.
That said, let is be
recorded that Wall Street
can't seem to make up its
mind whether morality is
for suckers or for the good.
Charlie Sheen shows
again that he is a promis-
ing young actor. He has to
be to make some of the
limes assigned to him have
any credibility at all.
His real life father, Mar-
tin Sheen, shares acting
bonours, however. with
Terence Stamp. Sheen is a
straight forward blue col-
lar worker: Stamp is
wasted in the role of an in-
ternational financial figure
who might or might not be
reasonably honest.
Allow us a digression to
point out that there is much
wasted talent in the pic-
ture. Francois Giroday,
Monique Van Vooren,
Lihane Montevecchi. Millie
Perkins and Hal Holbrook
are just a few of many well
known names in virtual
walk ors. The last named
has a part so clichE ridden
that one really doesn't
know if it is intended as
comedy relief or if it's for
real.
Michael Douglas, looking
and sounding more like his
father every time we see
him, is arguably the best
thing about the motion pic-
ture. He makes no apology
for what he is; a ruthless
financial manipulator. Yet,
it's hard not to like him.
He's a swine but admits it.

REAL CHRISTMAS:
Poinsettias are always a
popular gift and we've been
apprised of something that
simply must be passed on.
This is not a shopping col-
umn so we do not print
prices. Let it suffice,
however, that Ashbrooks in
Mississauga are selling
them at an outrageously
low price. More than that,
though, for every plant pur-
chased they are donating $5
to the Hospital for Sick
Children.
We think the idea is simp-
ly grand.
Frank Mills is featured
this Sunday afternoon at
the annual Roy Thomson
Hall Christmas Concert.
Also on the program will be
the Toronto Pops Or-
chestra ( have you heard its
album of Christmas
music?), singer Robert
Pilon, the Elsner Iseler
Singers and Wally Crouter.
There will be audience
participation. Imagine
singing along with the
Elmer Iseler Singers!
In a gentler vein, we re-
mind readers of the
popular Twilight Organ
Recitals at the hall.
On Dec. 16th, the
organist will be John Grew
from McGill University
and on Dec. 23rd Colin Cor-
bett will be at the console.
Mr. Corbett has given
pleasure to Torontonians
for many years now and we
well remember him as the
only one who could tame
the mighty wurlitzer at the
now gone Odeon Toronto.
The recitals began at 5:55
p.m. and are a most relax-
ing way to escape the
sometime bustle of the holi-
day season.
FAST EXIT:
Mostly Mercer is a fust
rate show at the Imperial
Room and well worth the
custom of those who enjoy
the music of Johnny
Mercer. It runs until the
end of next week and you
should be able to see it
before the end of its run.
Big River at The O'Keefe
runs only until the end of
this week, however, and
should you miss it you'll
have missed one of the bet-
ter shows of this year or
any other.
While you're at The
O'Keefe make it a par-
ticular point to drop into
the new gift boutique. We
were there for the official
opening along with some
members of La Cage and
can attest that the gift
selection is most attrac-
tive.
Whitevale Chimes Ring In
Rath Garden, Director of
The Whitevale Chimes, has
been ringing English hand
bells for ten years. These
instruments, unlike the
Swiss cow -bell style,
resemble the hand bells
once used by teachers in
school yards.
'*The bells are tuned like
a piano,' Garden e3wWn
ed "and originally stemin-
ed from the art of Carillon
playing in the 19th century.
The small size of the bells
brought bell ringing out of
the towers and into
smaller, closed listening
areas ..
The Whitevale Dimas
travelled across Canada to
perform at the University
of Calgary and to join Goo
other bell choirs to play
together at Expo 86 in Van-
couver.
The group will perform a
selection of Christmas,
classical and other musical
pieces an Sat. Dec. 12 at

Microwave -Easy Coffee Cakes
The appetizing aroma of freshly
baked bread says welcome in every
language. Unfortunately, today's
hectic lifestyles cause this wonderful
aroma to be absent in many homes.
A microwave oven and Pillsbury
refrigerated ready -to -bake biscuits
are the secrets to effortless breads
such as these two marvellous coffee
cakes. Most microwave ovens don't
brown foods, especially breads. But
these coffee cakes are baked upside-
down, so browning isn't necessary.
The rich topping coats the light baked
breads. These cakes are as pretty to
look at as they are delicious to taste.
Serve the cakes for dessert, as a
,snack after outdoor sports, or keep
the ingredients on hand to prepare a
delicious treat for unexpected guests.

Quick Crea due Shapes with Homemade Bread
BREAD BAKING BASICS:
LESSON 3
It might be your first loaf, or
perhaps you've braved yeast
baking before with disappoint-
ing results. Following these easy
steps from the experts at
FLEISCHMANN'S Yeast
should cure both fear and
failure.
DOUGH MIXING
The ingredients can be mixed
by hand with a wooden spoon,
with a mixer or a food processor
when recommenced by the
manufacturer.
STIRRING DOWN
Somc breads. like Sally Lunn
or babka, arc referred to as
batter breads because of their
stirrable consistency. They don't
require kneading and after the
fust rising, the dough is easily
stirred down with a wooden
spoon. Beginning yeast bakers
will rind these breads rewarding
because the results are very
good indeed. Even better, this
early success will encourage
them to tackle kneading later
on.
]KNEADING
While a sturdy processor or
dough hook will do the work for
you, many bakers prefer the
exercise of kneading the dough.
Some people claim it is an effec-
tive method of relieving tension.
Here's how.
Gather dough into a ball.
Lighlty flour your hands and a
flat surface; fold the dough to-
wards you. Using the heels of
your hands, push the dough
away with a rolling motion.
Tum dough one quarter; repeat
until dough is smooth and clas-
tic, about 8 to 10 minutes. With
the dough hook of an electric
mixer, the kneading will take 4
to 5 minutes; in a food proces-
sor, about 1 minute.

A Clean Bill Of Health
Since 1919, stories un-
substantiated by medical
and scientific fact have cir-
culated about the poinset-
tia at Christmas time,
when the plant is at the
peak of its popularity. Ac-
cording to a tale, a two-
year old child of an Army
officer stationed in Hawaii
died from eating a poinset-
tia leaf.
This unfounded story
helped scare people into
thinking that the poinseUia
is poisonous. It has led to
the belief that parts of the
plant, if ingested by
hurnans or pets, could be
lethal.
POINSETTIA EX-
ONORATED
To scientifically resolve
the charges against the
poinsettia, and to alleviate
public fear concerning its
alleged toxicity, the floral
industry launched an u ten -
sive investigation. The
Society of American
Florists, America's
floriculture national trade
association, collaborated
with the Ohio State Univer-
sity on a poinsettia
research project. The ob-
ject was to determine
whether there is any foun-
dation to the allegation that
the poinsettia ( scientific
name: Eupborbia Pulcher-
rima) is a poisonous plant.
At the conclusion of the
research work by Dr.
Robert P. Stone and W. J.
Collins, members of the
Academic Faculty of En-
tomology, The Ohio State
University, there research
paper on the poinsettia, en-
titled "Euphorbia Pulcher-
rima: Toxicity to Rats,"
was accepted for publica-
tion in Toxicon, 1971, Vol. 9,

that the rat, when given
unusually high does of the
poinsettia, shows no mor-
tality. no symptoms of tox-
icity, and no changes in
dietary intake or general
behaviour pattern.

natural growth is harmful

is subject to labeling as re-
quired by the Federal
Hazards Act.
The Ohio State Umversi-
ty research on the poinset-
tia plant has effectively
debunked "old wives'
tales" that the poinsettia is
harmful to human and
animal bealtlh d parts of
the plant are ingested.
This research has
resulted in the following ac-
tion.
On December 19. 1975
after reviewing all
available information the
Consumer Products Safety
Commission of New York.
in response to a petition to
have the poinsettia labeled
as poisonous issued the
statement, "Poinsettia
leaves like those of many
other plants, may cause
varying degrees of discom-
fort if eaten and should be
placed out of the react of
small children." The peti-
tim was denied.
Consumer and Corporate
Affairs Canada, removed
the poinsettia from the
publication "THINK
SAFETY - Those Lovely
Poisonous Plants" in 1974.
Ontario Minister of
Health, Murray J. Elston,
removed poinsettia from
the poisonous plant list
after confirmation from
the Hospital for Sick
Children in Toronto.
Noted horticulturalists
have eaten poinsettia
leaves on TV to confirm
that poinsettia leaves are
non poisonous.
Dr. Marvin S. Smout,
Chief Pathologist of Vic-
toria Hospital objected to
article in the Landon Free
Press which states
"poinsettia poisonous"
The evidence is all there.
They myth is not true but
common sense says - keep
all ornamental plants in-
cluding the Flower of the
Holy Night, "the Poinset-
tia", out of the reach of
small children.

100°F (290 to 37°C) is best for
all conventional doughs. In
summer, the heat of the day is
enough warmth to give a good
rise to breads. Placing the bread
above the pilot fight in gas ovens
also provides ideal conditions.
To determine whether the
dough has doubled in volume,
press two finger tips lightly and
quickly 1 i 24nch (I cm) into
dough. If the indentation re-
trains, the dough has doubled.
DOUGH SHAPING
Anyone who enjoys being
creative will find pleasure in
shaping yeast doughs. The soft
and satiny texture yields great
pliability.
Here are some suggestions for
shaping both basic and unusual
breads. The amount of dough
for the following shapes is based
on a standard 5 to 6 cups (1250
to 1500 mL) flour recipe.
LOAF: Divide dough in half.
Roll each into a rectangle, about
12 x 8 -inch (30 x 20 cm). Begin-
ning with the short end, row
dough up tightly. Plash seam
dosed. seal ends and fold under.
Place, scam -side down• in
greased loaf parrs.
CLOVERLEAF ROLLS:
Any kneaded bread dough can
be shaped into individual rods.
Use mrdrm tins or custard cups.
For each roll, form three equal
balls of dough and Oacc in
greased tin.
PAN ROLLS: Arrange balk
of dougli in two 8 -inch (2D ern)
round or square past These
bake into terrific pull"psrt
rob.
FREE FORM: Divide into
two equal tarries of dour
smoothing out top surface.
Place on two pleased halting
stoats.
BRAID Divide dough to
half. Divide each half into 3
pieces. Roil each into M -tach
445 cml ropes, thug the pn4as
of your hands and pushing
dough away from you in an
outward fashion. Braid the
ropes. tuck ends Nnnde7 and pup
on grtxsed baking stoats.
WREATH: Follow direc-
tions. for brad; form braid an
circle and pinch ends tuge•ther.
FRENCH STYLE BREAD:
Divide dough into 4 piKces Row
into 15 x &-inch (38 x 24 cm)
rectangle. Bcprufieg at long
edge, roll up tightly as for jelly
roll, tapering the ends slightly.
Make 1!4 -inch (6 mm) deep
slashes in tops of loaves. Place
on greased baking sheets
sprinkled with cornmeal.

GUELPH CHEMIST SEARCHES FOR EFFICIENT
ELECTRICAL SOURCE
Research by University of Guelph chemist Jacek
Lipkowski may mean more abundant and cheaper energy
for Canadians. Lipkow5ki is working on the development of
fuel cells using platinum and gold electrode material that
could improve the present methods of electrical energy
storage. The advantage of fuel cells over ordinary batteries
is that they prod" energy continuously and do not need
recharging. Usually they are powered by oxygen and
hydrogen-
Suchcells consist of two platinum electrodes pieced
in separate containers of phosphoric acid ( or polymer elec-
trolyte) joined by a semi -permeable membrane. Hydrogen
is supplied to the anode where it oxidizes to produce
hydrogen tons and electrons. Oxygen is reduced at the
cathode where it takes the electrons, then reacts with the
hydrogen ions to produce water.
Commercial Energy Manual Ready
Ontario Hydro has issued volume two of a manual
nicknamed The Source, outlining energy-saving electrical
applications in commercial building design and operation.
Produced by the Commercial; Industrial Marketing
Department, the Commercial Energy Manual, Volume II -
Applications, is intended to help architects, engineering
consultants and developers.
The manual provides simple guidelines for dealing with
complex energy management questions, summarizes
design criteria, and pinpoints specific situations where
electrical energy management in commercial building
design and operation can substantially reduce operating
costs.
Copies of the manual can be purchased from Ontario
Hydro's regional offices in 1bunder Bay, North Bay, Bar-
rie, London, Willowdale and Belleville, Ontario.
Electricity Demand
Last month's peak demand of 18.5 million kilowatts was

This summer the peak demand climbed higher each

demand was 17,293 megawatts; on June 25, 17,947
megawatts; on July 13, 18,240 megawatts; and on August
17, 18,516 megawatts.
Ontario customers used 10 billion kilowatt-hours of elec-
tricity in August, up 8.5 percent from the same month last
year.

Mainstream Can
Setting the stage
for the Tax Act
By Ana M. Smith
Anytime you mcmpt some-
thing as mind -bottling as the
overhaul of a nation's tax sys-
tem, it goes without saying that
every detail of your work will
eventually find itself under the
scrutiny of a high-powered
magnifying glass-
Finance
lassFinnance Minister !Michael
Wilson was, of course, aware of
this when he tabled the first
stage of his ambitious tax
reform package last May. And
he was probably also aware that
few tax packages have entered
the review process—known as
the all -party House of Com-
mons Finance Committee—
with so much public and polit-
ical support.
The recent release of the
committee's fzxhngs confirmed
this After four long months of
public and private hearings, the
committee praised Wilson for a
tax reform package that is "on
the right track."
But despite the overall vote
of confidence. the committee's
review wasn't by any means
without criticism. When they,
tabled their proposed revisions
in mid-November, the commit-
tee was, for example, highly crit-
ical of Wilson for treading too
lightly on the country's so-
called power brokers
Banks, trusts, life insurance
companies and large real estate
developers, they told Wilson,
haven't been paying their fair
share of taxes. For example, a
finance committee study found
that in 1984, the seven largest
banks paid only S17 -million in
taxes on $1.86 -billion in domestic
profits Effective January 1, 1988,
the committee has urged that a
minimum tax based on a per-
centage of their assets be invoked.
The question is, if this
recommendation is accepted by
Wilson, how are these financial
power broken planning to make
up the difference in lost profits'
Not through the pocket-
books of small business, says
John Bulloch. president of the
Canadian Federation of Inde-
pendent Business.
Although the small business
commtuuty will likely welcome
the committee's retvramenda-
tions to even -out the tat base.
Bulloch says he's worried that
these gains may be offset if any
of these financial institutions
gouge small businesses with
increased service charges and
premium hikes.
Overall, though, the small
business community was a
major beneficiary of the origi-
nal Wilson tax reform package
and the oornmatee's recommen-
dations will probably make
most independent business peo-
ple even happier.
For example; CFIB told the
committee hearings that for
small business owners, one of
the most contentious issues con-
tained in Wilson's tax reform
package dealt with stringent
new tax laws on automobile
expenses. The committee agreed
that Wilson's proposals had
been too harsh and recom-
mended an easing of the origi-
nal proposal.
The ukase of the commit-
tee's recommendations is by no
means the end of the road for
Wilson and his team of tae
experts. In fact, these proposals
signal little more than a green
light for Wilson to continue.
The next step is trying to decide
which of the committee's
proposals he should keep or
discard.
And then the real fun begins
If you think this stuff is

two—sales tax reform—is

`- Christmas Fire Safety
The cheerful lights of
Christmas bring a special
warmth to the holiday
season, but the lights, the
Christmas tree, and the
decorative wrappings pose
a fire risk if not handled
with care.
Fire Safety precautions
should head the list of
every sensible family's
precautions for Christmas.
There is no place like home
for the holiday, and there is
no place like home for
Christmas fire hazards.
Start early to plan your
Christmas activities, and
pay attention to the rules of
fire prevention at all times.
When you go shopping for
a real tree, purchase one
that is freshly cut because
R will stay green longer
and be less of a fine hazard.
A tree with a high moisture
content is safer, and here
are a few ways to deter-
mine that content:
If small branches snap
easily between your forgers
chances are the tree is dry.
Don't buy it.
Stand the tree up and tap
the butt on the ground, and
if an abundance of needles
drop it is a sign that a good
part of the tree is dry.
Needles that bend and
carnet be pulled easily
from the tree are a good in-
dication that the tree is
fresh. That's the kind you
want.
Now that you have
selected a good tree, keep it
outdoors with the butt in
snow (or water) until you
are ready to set it up in-
doors. Before setting it up,
saw two rndea diagonally
off the butt.
Select a location for the
tree that is array from cur-
tains and from heat
sources such as registers,
fire places and tele visim
sets.
Do not block dons or
windows which might be
used to escape in an
emergency -
Use a sturdy tree -stand
and a Urge water reservoir
m which to immerse the
tree butt. Maintain the
water supply.
Before using Christmas
tree lights or electric
decorations. check all wir-
ing, sockets and plugs for
fraying, cracks or loose
connections. If at all in
doubt, replace the old sets.
When purchasing
Christmas tree light str-
ings and other electrical
decorations, look for the
CSA mark. NEVER use
lighted candles on any tree.
If you do inte d to use
lighted candles at any time
during the Christmas
season, do cnxk that they
are well away from cur-
tains and any other com-
bustible materials.
Please remember that
the inquisitive mind of a
young child may result in
some experimenting with
the candle flame. Please
supervise and remember a
vitally important rule is to
keep all matches and
lighters out of the sight and
Volunteers

Providence Villa
Hospital needs volunteers
to feed patients on
Christmas Day. Fifty peo-
ple are needed from 10:3o
a.m. to 1 p.m. and 24 people

reach of children.
The gift wrappings are a
pretty sight when used to
effectively conceal that
special gift, finished off
with the attractive bow and
label on top. However, as
soon as they have been
removed from the parcel,
they should be collected up
and removed from the im-
mediate area of the tree
ready for disposal. Save
Diem for garbage pick-up

them in your fireplace, it
could be a very bad deci-
sion to make.
"NO WOIIMG" should
be the rule around the
Christmas tree for
everyone's benefit and
safIf you plan to be the host
or hostess for a special par-
ty, insist that your fine
safety rules are obeyed by
all guests.
Remember, it's your
home, your family, and
your memories. So take
care in order to preserve
them all.
When the party is over,
before retiring for the night
you must check for any
carelessly discarded
cigarettes or other
smokers materials. If you
must empty ashtray con-
tents,
oo-tents, use a metal con-
tainer or flush dawn the
toilet. NEVER empty
ashtray contents into the
garbage bag, and do not
vacuum up butts from the
floor, it could lead to a real
"nightmare" for your en-
tire family.
It is essential to have a
fainly meeting and review
your bome fie escape
plan, so that in an
emergency all members
will get out safely.
If you are planning to
visit friends and leave the
children at home, the
e mployrnent of a reliable
baby sitter is the best
assurance of freedom from
worry. Provide the baby
sitter with your
whereabouts, phone
number and emergency
services phone number
(911 in Metro Toronto).
Discuss the details of the
fie escape pian with the
baby sitter, thea you can
relax and enjoy your visit.
For many people it
becomes increasingly chf-
ficult to tbink of gift ideas
each year. have you con-
sidered purchasing a
smoke alarm and/or a por-
table extinguisher as a
valuable gift for a special
friend or family member?
If you do make this wise
choice, please follow up
after Christmas day to pro-
vide advice on the correct
placement and regular
maintenance re-
quirements. (For
assistance in this regard
call the North York Fie
prevention division at
724-6168).
If you do not have your
home and family protected
by a minimum of one
smote alarm for each floor
level, and two on the top
floor, why not treat
yourself to an early
Christoday.
Remember:

Arenas Soon To Be Smoke -Free
Scarborough's 10 hockey
arenas will soon become
smoke-free.
Scarborough's recrea-
tion and parks committee
last week endorsed a draft
by-law to ban smoking
red -berried wintergreen to
hang over the mantlepiece
and picture frames in her
host's home in 1832. She
also mentions collecting
evergreens to decorate her
own home in 1838, adding
high bush cranberries and
her daughter's coral beads
for color.
e Popcorn on string was
popular in the 1860s. and by
the end of the century it
was being threaded with
cranberries, or dyed red
and green. Street vendors
in the larger cities sold
completed strings to busy
decorators.
- The origin of Santa Claus,
now so important to gift
giving at Christmas, goes
back to the legends sur-
rounding St Nicholas in
Asia Minor in the 4th cen-
tury. He became the patron
saint of boys and girls and
the bringer of gifts on
December 6. St. Nicholas
Day. The gift -bringer has
appeared in Canada in
many forms; as St.
Nicholas, as the British
Father C hnstmas, and of
course as Santa Claus. An
early reference to Santa
Claus appeared in the
Canadian children's
periodical Snow Drop in
1851.
Many of the decorating
and culinary rituals Cana-
dians adhere to are based
on friendship and signify
good fortune and long life.

Society's attitude toward
smoking has changed and
there is growing demand
for a total ban says Alex
Vanderzand, the city's
recreation director. He told
committee that both
parents and minor hockey
league officials have re-
quested the change.
There will be some
backlash from smokers but
it should be minimal says
Vanderzand. He said
smokers will not really be
inconvenienced because
they are there for only
short periods of time.
A special exemption will
be made for league of-
ficials who spend long
periods of time in the
arenas. Where possible,
special smoking areas will
be set aside for their use
only.
The proposed changes
still have to be approved by
Scarborough Council.

Walnuts Add California crunch
To Apple Bread
Heart l Jpt(ed Apple 14Wnut Bread ce/ehrutes the arrival
u/ the Jiry California shelled walnuts to (anada.
Crisp shelled walnuts, fresh from the California harvest, are
coming to the Canadian market for the fins time this fall from our
southern neighbours. Diamond Walnut Growers of California.
Until now, Canadian walnut suplies were derived almost exclu-
sively from the Far East. But shorter shipping distances and 75 years
perfecting the walnut processing business could soon give Diamond
walnuts the leading edge in providing the freshest, top-quality
shelled walnuts for cooking and baking.
To celebrate the California walnut crop, bake Spiced Apple
Walnut Bread, a hearq, country bread as delicious as the kind
grandma used to make, with whole wheat flour, shredded apples
and crisp Diamond Walnuts laced throughout. More chopped
walnuts sprinkled over the batter gives this loaf an appealing, pebbly
texture.
Serve Spiced Apple Walnut Bread for breakfast, tea as an
after-school snack or to accompany a luncheon soup or salad. This
delicious loaf keeps well - either refrigerated or frozen.
SPICED APPLE WALNUT BREAD

ADVANCED CHILD TAX CREDff
Last year our government introduced an amendment to
the Income Tax Act, to allow for the prepayment of the
Child Tax Credit. This amendment allows the goverment to
repay a portion of the Child Tax Credit that would otherwise
be payable only at tax time the following Spring. Some
70,009 eligible parents, whose net family income is $15,000
or less, will benefit from this advance payment.
For 1967, the amount of the prepayment will be increased
to $325 per child, which is approximately two-thirds of the
full credit, ($489). The remaining amount, if any, will be
paid after the 1987 tax return is filed in 1988. However, to
receive the full Child Tax Credit, you must file an income
tax return even if you have no income to report.
Although some of you may not qualify for the advance
Child Tax Credit, you may still be eligible for the credit
when filing your 1987 income tax return. If your net family
income is $x3,760 or less, you are entitled to the full credit. If
your net family income is above $23,760, the credit is reduc-
ed by $.5 for each $100.
Parents who had a Gild born this year will not be able to
obtain the prepayment this time around, but if they meet
the conditions for the advance payment when they file their
1987 tax return, they will automatically receive the prepay-
ment next year.
People who have moved and who have reported their
change of address to Health and Welfare Canada or
Revenue Canada Taxation before September, should
receive their preprlyment promptly. If you have moved bet-
ween the months of September and November of this year,
please provide your change of address in writing or in per-
son at your nearest district taxation office. Due to security
reasons, a change of address will not be accepted over the
phone -
For a further information on the Child Tax Credit or the
Gild Tax Credit prepayment program, please contact the
local district taxation office.
Olympic spirit has hit Canada!
Daily we see promotions in the media, as we have seen
aver the last few months, but since the initial ligthting of the
Olympic Flame in Newfandland, and since the journey of
the Tach May began across Cauda, Olympic fervor is
growing in earnest!
In Ontario Riding. the Torch Relay will be in Ajax,
Pickering and Whitby on Dec. 21 and in Brougham on Dec.
22. As I have already explained in my most ret'eat
householder mailing, to commemorate this occasion, the
Government of Canada has initiated the Celebration '89
program. This is a two-part program: Celebration '89
Medals and Celebration '9s Certificates will be awarded to
iatkvidtnals as well as businesses in the community who
have made outstanding contributions to amateur sports.
Celebration '86 committees were farmed in Ajax, Picker-
ing and Whitby and the participants have been working
long and hard to select medal and certificate award win-
ners. 1 know the nominatiouys flowed in, and I am sure the
carnmittee members had a difficult time selecting the
finalists. However, when you think about it we are all win-
ners: we have the honour of hosting the Olympic Games!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Ceiebra-
ban '88 committee mambas for all of their long and hard
work in organizing the Torch Relay events.
Ontario Riding residents should know these mambas
have totally co-ordinated the ceremonies and celebrations,
which I know from past experience, will be fun for
everyone!
I will be participating in the ceremonies W all three
towns, therefore, I will be "on the run" myself. I am very
honoured and proud to be able to share in the festivities for
this historic occasion.
Hope to see you there!
