As any police can tell you, directing traffic is always a dangerous dirty to perform, and crossing guards have to face that kind of danger every day. Injury and even death are a real possibility every time they go on duty. Guards often have to wait for their children at busy intersec- tions, and this in itself is dangerous. Back in 1963, Jacoba DeBres, a crossing guard who worked at Garden and Dundas St. S. in Whitby was killed as she waited at the corner. She was stan- ding on the sidewalk when an accident took place in the intersection. One of the cars, after impact with another, mounted the curb and crossed the sidewalk where Jacoba stood and ran her down.

If there are complaints of traffic violations at school crossings the police do the follow-up investigation or extra traffic enforcement in the area when required. And the police certainly receive plenty of com- plaints of poor driving at school crossings. Crossing guards deserve, but often don't get the best of treatment from drivers. By law, drivers must respect their authority. It is mandatory to stop for school crossing guards guiding children across the road. The guards all wear a reflective traffic vest and carry a red and white stop sign. Failure to stop for this sign could make a driver subject to a standard fine of $53.75 plus 3 demerit points. Drivers, when you are approaching a school crossing where the guard is an duty or at a time when children are going to and from school, SLOW DOWN and be prepared to stop.

Dec. 9, 1987 Opinion a page for expression for you and us 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 ! All Is Not Well?

(referring to two aldermen) that citizens cannot be manipulated if they are provided with clear, factual information in time to make effec- tive presentations about community piaaaing matters. It is 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.

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! From Statistics Canada 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. ANSWERS 1)61% 2) 333.000 Report from Queen's Park Hon. Ed Fulton Minister of TransporhOn and Communications MPP Scarborough East 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.

Sanguin spoke of the dream message to the wise men who only knew that if they followed the star, something important would happen. In this way we must follow through Ad- vent, awaiting God's im- portant gift. In his sermon, Rev. Sanguin spoke about the need to come out of exile. This exile is one of the mind and soul, and exists whenever we remove ourselves from what we really are. We may be try- ing to please our parents, we may be trying to live up to our golden image of ourselves, or we may be trymg to please a� Theses f innages exile us from our true selves, and exile us from God as be knows us, and accepts us.

Dec. 9, 1967 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 The Christmas season will officially begin at the Scarborough Civic Centre on Sun.

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 10*"0 OFF on most package tours. Call es now. Ain Travel Centre Ltd. W-4800 +_ A" ship terminal and con-enuon centre. A masterpiece of archi- tecture and design, Canada Place resembles a regal five masted ship setting sail into Vancouver Harbour and it has become the waterfront symbol of an already gor- 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 are Cn10­ ::. eler antic.., , lar scenery, ports of :all, :he sights and sounds that make 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 Islands, comprise what is one of the three best shell- ing sites in the Western hemisphere.

One ship captain plays the majestic opening movement of the Sibelius Symphony No. 2 on the ship's loudspeaker system as his ship enters the Jramatic entrance to the bay. 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.

Dec. 8, 1987 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 - Located in the SPECIAL DIKUL N T jq^a' re :r.r for DI' -.`ER P��ti�GE 555 Cochrane Dr. Showtimes 9:00 p.m. fMwy.

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.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; so allow us to paraphrase Dorothy Thompson's critique of a long ago actesss .. "She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B." One doesn't like to be ungallant but she is simply terrible! ON RECORD: The lith commandment is Never take thyself too damned seriously.

The room will be decorated in what has come to be accepted as Continental cabaret decor . chequered tablecloths. flowers and notable bric-a- brac. The lowprice incudes wine we understand and the program features the entertainment talents -of Rosemary Landry, Jayne Lewis ( she appeared in the very first production at The Limelight some years back and has been one of our favourites ever since) and Geraint Wyn Davies, tak- ing a breather fr nun his roue in Sleuth. We thunk you'll enjoy the guest M. C. as well. He's Ed Mirvish and once again, he'll surprise with his ver- satility. One wonders. too, if Anne Mirvish will be in attendance. Golly, but we'd tike to bear her sing again! The concert begins at 3 p -m. and you can get more details from the Harbour - front Box Office at 973-4000 or 925-0284.

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 Chffcrest Branch Library, Chffcrest Plaza, Kingston Rd. at McCowan Rd. The public is invited to this program which starts at 2 p.m. Space is limited to the feat 6o only.

The grasp runs for seven days for boys and girls bet - ON the ages of five to twelve and it offers a full range of activities, with each day being different. Sports skills, a daily craft activity and special trips will make this year's camp the best ever.

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.

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. RISING Temperature of 85'F to 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, Visit your nearest Hildebrand Wine Market at these locations: Milliken Waft Shopping Centre Markham Super Centre Markham Village Lanes Markington Square The Beaches (Queen St. E.) — and opening soon at — Golden MIN Super Centre pp. 301-302, Pergamon Pressi, printed in Great Britain on February 25, 1971. The study established 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. Animal tests are ac- cepted as valid by the United States C4xlwmer Products Safety Cornrnis- sion in determining whether any product or natural growth is harmful W human health, and thus, 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. For further information please contact: Flowers Canada, 155 Suffolk Street gWest, Guelph, Ontario NIH 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.

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.

Electricity Demand Last month's peak demand of 18.5 million kilowatts was readied August 17, up 1.2 percent from last year. This summer the peak demand climbed higher each month, setting new records. On May 29, the 20 -minute peak 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.

Board Attends Unveiling of Museum of Toronto Project On Oct. 6, Doug Hammar of the board's Community Issues Committee attended the public presentation of the proposed Musetnn of Toronto. At the presenta- tion, he raised questions regarding staffing, cost and location. In the past few years The Board of Trade has been actively supporting the concept of a civic museum, stressing that it should have general appeal and have truly exciting exhibits similar to those in the civic museums of Vancouver. Amsterdam and London. The Community Issues Camtmittee will table its 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 complicated—just wait. Part two—sales tax reform—is already on deck. CFW F..M.

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 Needed Christmas 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 are needed from 8:30 to 6 p.m. If you can help make so- meone else's Christmas special, contact the Volunteer Centre, Scar- borough at 264-2308. 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 day, never decide to burn 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: and get it in - Stalled Remember: IIf a fire should occur, first get everyone out then can the Fire Department by phon- ing 911, before attempting to fight the fire yourself. Your first rule in the event of fie is Get Everyone Out Safely. One more important thing for you to do, so that you don't disappoint the children, is to make sure Your roof can support the weight of a fully loaded sleigh and eight healthy reindeers.

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.

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 I cup (250 mL) all purpose flour 1 cup (250 mL) whole wheat flour 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt 1/2 tsp (2 ml-) ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp (I mL) ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp (I mL) baking soda 1 3 cup (75 mL) shortening 2 3 cup (ISO mL) sugar 2 eggs Speaking To You Stott Fennel M.P. Ontario Riding 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! ................................................................ 1 1 2 cups (375 mL) shredded cooking apples 1 cup (250 mL) DIAMOND WALNUTS, chopped, divided Stu together all purpose and whole wheat flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmcg and baking soda.
