Eurodollars are deposits denominated in U.S. dollars held in commercial banks outside the United States. The Eurodollar market started quite accidentally in the early 1960's when the Federal Reserve System set a ceiling of 4% on interest rates paid on time deposits. The Federal Reserve inadvertently failed to apply this limitation to foreign-owned time deposits. The London branches of New York banks found they could get 4.25% interest rates on time deposits. In return they could offer 4.125% rates for deposits of dollars in Landon (1 8 of a percent better than American depositors could get at home). Some interna- tional companies and private holders promptly transferred their deposits from New York to London and the Eurodollar market was born. Q. How are experimental mice obtained? E.K. A. Mice are universally used in laboratory research because they are small, easy to handle, reproduce quickly and have many characteristics of cell metabolism that humans have. Mice are supplied all over the world by the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory at Bar Harbor, Maine. The Jackson Laboratory makes a specialty of breeding mice which are guaranteed as to type and heredity. Researchers must know that an animal has no anomalies whatever before it can be used in experiments. Anomaly might be a hidden disease, a tendency towards cancer or malforma- tion or some other trouble. When the Jackson Laboratory burned down in 1947 in a forest fire, scientists all over the world sent back mice they had bought to re-establish the pure hereditary line. b&-aff to what is hoped to be a decade long planting program. The trees may be ordered and planted for $100 each by Ajax and area residents and businesses by contacting Ray Tempe at 68 -2475 (Res.) or Bob Bailey at 683-1351 (Res.). The program which is be- ing rum by the Waterfront Advisory Tree Planting Committee in conjunction with the Ajax Parks Department and MTRCA saw their first 33 trees planted last week. Five trees were planted along the walkway on the east side of Harwood Ave. and a further five trees were planted adjacent to the Lawrie Rd. bridge at the waterfront. Some 23 trees were planted at the foot of Bartlett Ave. at the water- front walkway. These trees were planted in a cluster and received a large finan- cial contribution by the Ajax Lions Club. The Waterfront Commit- tee is now in the process of formally naming that loca- tion Lions Point and the Lions Club hopes to con- tinue to add to these plan- tings in the years to come! Dickson, who acknowledged Trempe and Bailey as the leaders of this tree planting program to encourage conservation and the return of wildlife to the waterfront, also paid tribute to the other members of the Tree Plan- ting Committee including: Bob Burgess, Donna This Space Could Be Yours For $�50 PER WEEK Dickson, Ernie King. Gail Risebrough, Jon Sherwood, Devon Smith, Henry Kortekaas, Pad Kirby and Jed Rowe.

Supports ALSBO Brief The board will support ALSBO's brief and will write to the Government of Canada and local MPP's expressing concern over Bill C-60 in its present form. The new copyright laws would make it illegal for teachers to copy poems or passages from books or to videotape television pro- grams or newscasts for their students. It is felt that the Bill could increase the cost of learning materials and significantly restrict many sound instructional practices currently in use in our schools. qcc']]�� 61111960 Zi4sons • �G'; Westney 401 Ajax Interchange Ontario Minister of Transportation Ed Fulton has announced the opening of the new $20 million Westney Rd. l Hwy.401 in- terchange located at Ajax.

Durham Board Of Education Highlights Al BO Petkilm d Trustees approved a mo- tion that ALSHO forward it letter to the premier and the members d Cabinet in- dicating that it supports the Hamilton Board of Educa- tion in its petition to the Lieutenant Governor -in - Council regarding the fin- dings of the Goudge Tribunal. It is felt that the transfer of a secondary school with viable enrolments is not in the best interest of the students, the community and public education. The tribunal's apparent posi- tion that sharing of accom- modations is not a viable solution is in direct conflict with positions previously held by both the Govern- ment and the Planning and Implementation Commis- sion. In this landmark case, the tribunal ruled that three secondary schools in the Hamilton and Wentworth Boards of Education must be turned over to the Hamilton! Went- worth Separate Board. Nen-AttHiated Staff The Board voted to use the "Analysis of Change - Overall changes in Average Same Organiza- tion Comparison - Policy Changes for all Organiza- tions" as a basis for deter- mining annual increases for Non -Affiliated Employees of the Board. The 1987 wage increase for this group will range from 4.5% to 4.6%. New Procedure The Board passed a mo- tion directing Administra- tion to receive and acknowledge retirement letters during the year, and arrange for appropriate staff changes. The letters would be presented to the Board at the fust regular meeting in December and Juane. This new procedure will allow retirees to withdraw their letters up to those times, if necessitated by health or other reasons.

But one council member is actually worrying about transportation! Heavens, it's hard to believe that there is one council member who really understands that downtown Toronto will be a complete mess traffic -wise before Bell gets to build? We realize that the powers that be are determined to pack everything into the one small section of the city of Toronto, but we predict that it will all become a disaster if all of these projects take place. In our opinion the Metro City Hall should be centrally located in the north of Toronto or even :North York. We think the CBC new quarters should be in the Scarborough city centre. making it the "Holl) -wood of Canada" and the dome stadium should have been near the Woodbine racetrack where cars can reach it. Privatize Air Canada Dear Sir Madam. Tens of thousands of passengers have seen their business and holiday plans thrown intc chaos because of the strike by Air Canada. a Crown corporation. Those who defend Crown corporations argue that some services are so essential that they must be guaranteed through government ownership and control. They also argue that because some services can't be prorn•ided at a profit. they must be provided by government. The emptiness of both these arguments has been shown dearly by the Air Canada strike and the two strikes this year of the post office's letter carriers and inside workers. Since the airline is owned by the federal government. many of the employees. who are the highest paid in the in- dustry in Canada. no doubt believe that the purse is bot- tomless. If Air Canada had been privatized several years ago and had to sink or swim without government subsidies or loan guarantees. these striking employees would have been less willing to walk out. The management and a large part of the work force of Air Canada want the airline privatized. However, Prime Minister Mulroney personally vetoed its pnvatization this fall. We believe it's time he reconsidered and put Air Canada where it belongs - in the free enterprise sector. sincerely, David Somerville. President :National Citizens' Coalition Wake Up Youth Dear Sir: I write this letter in the hope that the youth of our country will awaken and realize that first if you want your country to be successful then you must first have respect for yourself. and just as important you must have respect for Canada. your country. Canada will only be successful if you, the youth who are the future judges. doctors. lawyers. salesmen and every other job that makes a country number 1. work hard. We. as a people, can't succeed unless we realize that hard work. imagination and guts make a peoples proud and strong. As our country talks free trade it is my belief that the Americans only want our water, natural resources and con- trol of our industry. Major companies will close down their Canadian plants and open up sales offices and you, the youth, still stiffer. Let's face facts. The United States is the world's largest debtor nation and they are bankrupt when it comes to resources. They need us and it's up to all of us to speak our minds. Thousands of Canadians fought for this country, in the hope that you could have this chance. Don't let them down. Speak out - study free trade and let your feelings be heard loud and clear.

(Photo - Bob Watson) Report From Parliament from Reg Stackhouse, MP Scarborough West Multiculturalism: A Canadian Reality An historic bill to introduce the Canadian Multiculturalism Act was tabled by Secretary of State. the Hon. David Crombie, Minister Responsible for Multicultu rahsm. in the House of Commons Dec. 1st. The proposed Act spells out the federal government's multiculturalism policy. When passed. the act mill affirm, in law, the canstitu- tionl freedom of all Canadians of every origin to choose to preserve, enhance and share tbeir multicultural heritage. The act also recognizes all Canadians as full and equal par- ticipants in Canadian society. Major features of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act in- clude the entrenchment, in legislation, of a government - wide commitment on the part of all federal i istituiions to unplenvmt the multiculturalism policy; the provision of a legislative base for multiculturalism programs that will assist cultural preservation, combat racism and promote the adoption of appropriate policies in our institutions; and the establishment of a process of Parliamentary accoun- tability. Canada's commitment to multiculturalism was entrench- ed in the 1982 Constitution Act, as part of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The new act contributes to the evolving Canadian identity of our society. Multiculturalism has been a fact of Canadian life for many decades. A quarter-century ago, the then Prime Minister. John Diefennbaker, observed that Canada "is a garden into which have been transplanted the hardiest and brightest flowers from many lands, each retaining in its new environment the best of the qualities for which it was loved and prized in its native land." ....,............ country but like your parents, grandparents and past Cana- dians you must be willing to work and take a chance. Don't roll over, and say what can a little guy like me do. Write your MP in Ottawa; demand answers; ask about Canada's future. And then find out if the answers are fact and are to better Canada's future. A country is only as strong as its people. So it's up to all of us to make our country a better place for all. Many thanks. A Proud Canadian. Stan Easton Agincourt Bob's Notes Hydro Named Outstanding Exporter Ontario Hydro's New Business Ventures Division has received special recognition as one of Canada's outstanding exporters in 1996. At the annual dinner of the Canadian Exporters Associa- tion, hosted by Trade Minister Pat Carney, New Business Ventures received an honourable mention for revenue over $38 million from 75 contracts awarded to the Corporation. This was Ontario Hydro's first opportunity to be recogniz- ed by these awards. A company must be at least 3 years old to qualify, and New Business Ventures was formed in 1%4. Electricity Demand Ontario customers used 9.4 billion kilowatt-hours of elec- tricity in September, up 3.4 percent from the same month last year.

Darlington Wins Safety Award Darlington construction employees received a distinguished safety award recently from the Industrial Ac- cident Prevention Association of Ontario. The three star advanced safety award was won based on the results of an audit, completed in accordance with inter- national Safety Rating System &defines, by accredited auditors from Hydro's Health and Safety division. The audit examined components of the formal safety program at Darlington including leadership, management, training, education, inspections and safety planning. The Darlington safety program showed a 14 percent improvement over the previous year. Darlington is the first construction operation in North 4 nerica to receive the award. To date, Darlington employees have worked 35 million manhouus without a fatality. Does Glasnost Mean Real Change? -Does Glasnost mean real change or does it meant oppres- sion as usual to minorities behind the Iron Curtain?" Reg Stackhouse. M.P. Scarborough West. asked a rally of Cana- dians from Eastern Europe in Nathan Philips Square, Toronto. Stackhouse is Chairman of the House of Commons Stan- ding Committee on Human Rights. This committee has been conducting a study on human rights behind the Iron Curtain. lttitnesses, directly from Eastern Eunvpe and from etbmc minorities in Canada. have told the committee of continuing human rights violations in spite of reported changes under Mikhail Gorbachev's leadership. Repression of religious freedom, national languages, cultural diversity and political freedom have remained part of the Iron Curtain landscape," Stackhouse reported. In a television interview with Tom Brokaw, Gorbachev said every nation should govern its awn life. Does that mean Latvia should govern its own life? And Estonia? And Lithuania? And the Ukraine?" Stackhouse asked. "Does it mean human rights for minorities in eastern European countries? Does it mean freedom from the Red Army for those countries themselves'. " "Glasnost is supposed to promise real change. Has it changed the Iron Curtain, the barbed wire, the gulag. the secret police"' Stackhouse said he welcomed Gorbachev's efforts to give the Soviet Union a new direction. But, said Stackhouse, "it has a long way yet to turn". No Place For An Election Reg Stackhouse, M.P., is urging the government to use the United Nations to pressure Haitian authorities. M.P. for Scarborough West, he is Chairman of the House Of Commons Standing Committee on Human Rights. In the House today he pressed the government to take ac- tion, pointing to the United States cancellation of aid to Haiti. "What are we waiting for' Now much information does the government meed? Is there any doubt the people were killed, the elections were cancelled and the military are still on top?" He told the House that Canada should call on the United Nations to express the revulsion of the civilized world. "No government today can ignore world opinion. The UN should show that November 29th massacre will not be ac- cepted in silence. Nor should this crime against humanity go unjudged. These murders must be punished." Stackhouse said any attempt to hold new elections is premature until the security of candidates and voters can be assured. "A jungle is no place for an election. - Give A Gift That Lasts Ali Year!

"and I am very pleased to see the variety of printing related activities Create An "Olde Fashioned" Christmas The fragrance of pine needles and oranges studd- ed with cloves. the sound of bells and carols, the sight of twinkling lights, the ar- rival of the first greeting cards - these are a few of the marry traditias Cana- dians associate with Christmas. Surely no other holiday appeals to the senses in such a complete way or calls up memories of the past with such vividness. A glance at a toy store win- dow evokes memories of Christmas past and a long- ing to relive the excitement of childhood. "As our lives became more hectic. the desire to recreate that warm, old fashioned Christmas for our own families has become more important." says Barbara Huard. Senior Product Manager for Carlton Cards. who has some simple tips for creating a nostalgic Christmas theme. "This year Carlton Cards, has in- troduced an entire line of old fashioned greeting cards, gift wrap, tree or- naments and accessories, for people interested in moving away from the tinsel and glitter of a modern Christmas." Looking at the way some of the pioneers decorated for the season is a good source of inspiration. Records of Christmas decorating customs in 19th century Canada are rare, but Catharine Parr Traill provides one of the earliest in her book The Canadian Settler's Guide 118551. She tells of going out to collect red -berried wintergreen to hang over the mandepiece and pic- ture frames, and later ad- ding high bush cranberries and her daughter's coral beads for color. To recreate some of this early Canadian feeling. Huard suggests combteing fresh green with favorite decorations from the put, a few homemade ones which the children will en- joy abating. and perhaps some new ones chosen to complement the theme. Huard recommends car- rying the theme right through the house with a few of the foiloiring sugges- tions: • Let the tree establish the theme, then co-ordinate the door wreath. diningroom centrepiece and mantel or sideboard decorations. Soften kitchen window frames with green garlands intertwined with p riecones and red ribbon bog's. s Set up a tablesized tree an a side table and trim with antique beads. gingerbread CUT HERE.

Christmas Open House Drive At CBC Radio Good food has tradi- tionally been an important part of our holiday celebra- tions. But for many people. this Christmas will be another day of hunger and need. CBC Radio invites Toram- tomans to share in the generous spirit of the both - day season by donating food at a special Open House Food Drive to aid the needy on Fri. Dec. It The CBC Radio studio at 509 Parliament St. will be open to the public from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. acting as a drop-off point for donations of non-perishable food items for the daily brad food bank. Visitors can also be part of the live studio audience for these special Christmas broadcasts complete with celebrity guests, door prizes and e:ntertairunent. The Daily Bread food bank is a non-profit, registered charitable organization serving 130 community agencies in Metro Toronto, Peel, Durham and York regions. The food bank estimates that 60.000 people are forc- ed to seek emergency food aid each month from pro- grams it supports in Metro Toronto alone. They need non- perishable food items such as canned meat. fish and fruit, peanut butter, powdered milk. hot cereal, baby formula and baby food. Homemade food can- not be accepted and all items mina be sealed in their original packaging - Afake and freeze farlcc hors doeuvres before the ho"y rush. Holiday entertaining is hassle -free when you make fancy appetizers and hors d'oeu- vres ahead of time. When guests arrive or friends drop by un- expectedly, these Savoury Saus- age Pinwheels are ready to go. Films At Port Union Library Films For Everyone - The films "Grizzly Golfer", "Ballet Roboti- que", "Norman Checks In" and "Sgt. Swell of the Mounties" will be shown for all ages on Mon. Dec. 28 at 2 p.m. Limited to the first 60. For extra convetuenoe, bake and brown these tasty tidbits in the microwave. Madame Grill, the new bake'n broil microwave oven from Panasonic, has a browning system which is not available in any other micro- wave. Both the ceiling and the floor of the oven heat up to evenly brown and bake. The heating elements are embedded in the ceiling and floor so there are no exposed elements. Mean -up is easy because of the smooth, flat stainless steel interior. SAVOURY SAUSAGE PINWHEELS Five: Mill pwk "meow t or Centennial -Rouge United Church by Julie Webb Sunday was White Gift Service and our Sunday School presented a wonder- ful celebration called "The Colour of Love". We had service in the Church Hall which was a change for everyone, and the Nativity Story starring even our lit- tlest angels. Special thanks for hard work and organization should go to Ann -Marie Switzer, Heather Voss, Valerie Arnold, Wendy Lowden, Dorothy Pierce and Leslie Morris. Next Sunday is again a special service with the choir performing the Can- tata, "Night of Miracles". This is a beautiful arrange- ment of music, and should satisfy some longing for Christmas music that is a bit different. Christmas Eve will be celebrated with two ser- vices this year. The times for these are 7 p.m. and 11 p.m., and should satisfy the needs of both the early risers and night owls! Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us. Happy Holidays everyone.

This poinsettia is grown in a specially designed pot with holes in the side to accommodate many small plants, The Pixie poinsettia i�, a small branched plant. ap(,- imately 12 inches tall. generally grown in a 4 inch �x.- available in all colors: red. white, pink, marble and ltngic bells. The Pixie is the answer for those who Kant a nice showy plant but have limited space requirements Poinsettia Very Beautiful F.U06 Ala Prlcberrima - Poir>,settias belong to the Spurge family, genus Euphorbia. Euphorbia is Latin from Euphorbus, first century physician who used Spurge to heal nobili- ty. The botanical name- Euphorbia pulcherrima was assigned by German taxonomist Willdenow (1333). Pulcherrima is Latin for "very beautiful". Swirl Of Coloured Leaves - The poinsettia bloom is formed by a swirl of bright- ly coloured mochfied leaves called bracts. The true flowers are the small yellow berries in the centre of the bracts. Lesgtb Of rigbt Regulates Time Of Flower Setting - The poinsettia is a photoperiod plant. It responds tothe charspre length of nature's light periods. Around the first of October, when ap- proaching winter dearkess reaches approximately 13 hours, the poinsettia starts to set tinted leaves at its tips. During the next ten weeks, these will form the brightly coloured swirl of bracts surrounding the cen- tral cluster of small flower buds. Tempermental During Flower Setting Period - Total night darkness is essential for the poinsettia to fully bloom. Any stray hght during this period will disrupt or delay the flower- ing process, which is often the reason why some peo- ple have trouble getting their poingettias to Moan again. More T►am Fifty Years Of Imprevemeuts - Since the fust potted poinsettia came out In 1925, there have been continuous un- provements and introduc- tions of many new varieties. However, until the mid 19W's, these had all been selections of natural mutation, and although these were beautiful, they had certain weaknesses IN caused them to drop their leaves early and made them almost too fragile to ship. In the search for the uttimate poinsettia, scientific pro - grains were initiated which employed genetic research to breed out these weaknesses, and thus to- day's vigorous hybrid poinsettias were developed. These new hybrids hold their foliage over a long season, they are more economical to produce from the growers point of view, and they can be shipped for more widespread distribution. Tips For Easy Caring 1. Select plants with green foliage all the way down to the soil line. This is a good indication that the plants have active, healthy roots. 2. Look for plants that have small green buttons (cyat!'- a) in the centre of the coloured bracts. These buttons will eventually develop into little yellow flowers. 3. When transporting the plants home, make sure they are protected from temperatures below 50°F. Chilling causes the leaves to drop. 4. Place in a room where there is sufficient natural light to read fine print (your insurance policy). You should be able to observe a shadow with your hand. 5. Water plants thoroughly when you get them home. The entire soil area should be saturated so that water seeps through the drain hole. Remember to discard the excess water. Never allow poinsettias to sit in water. 6. Check the plants daily and water only when the soil feels dry to the touch. 7. If you keep curtains drawn during the day to conserve heat, remember that poinsettias must have at least six hours of bright indirect light to thrive. 8. Keep plants away from drafts, radiators, and hot air registers; do not place on top of a TV. 9. To prolong bright colour of bracts, temperature should not exceed 72°F in the day and 60•F at night.

This 9 Bloom poinsettia is a variation of the larger display plants which may be grown in pots ranging from 7-14 inches. These giant poinsettias may have up to 30 blooms and they may be grown either as a branched (pin- ched) plant or as a single stem ( upright) plant. The 9 Bloom shown here is a single stem plant grown from the Eckespoint variety. This means that each bloom represents a single plant with one stem and root system.

Dec. 16, 19a THE NEWS/ POST Page 9 Set A Spectacular Christmas Table "A beautiful table setting takes time to prepare," says Carlton Card's Bar- bara Huard, so make a start the night before and aim to complete it on Christmas morning. Guests will be enchanted by the sight of it as they ar- rive - starched linen, gleaming glasses, silver and all." Here are some table set- ting suggestions from Carlton Cards for creating that magical look: • What more traditional setting could there be than a snow white damask cloth set with silver and crystal, a centrepiece of holly and red candles with green and red crackers at each place? A single tree decoration tied with ribbon around each napkin can be stunning; decorations can double as table favors. • Use a sideboard or sturdy supplementary table to cope with extra serving dishes. Cover both it and the dining table with mat- ching cloths and they'll look like a pair, especially if linked with similar table decorations. • Candles create a nostalgic mood, whether ender scarlet tapers in a er candelabra or a :.ter of nightlights . , r.ered in the centre of Ne. Surround candles a selection of • • .ander ( oranges studd- .4,th cloves) and ,-� ergreens or small gifts and ribbon. • A charming tablecentre i i TAKE SOME HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS can be made using an old fashioned sleigh ornament or a special bowl contain- ing a small gift for each diner. The presents could be as simple as a comb or mirror, or a specially chosen Christmas tree or- nament. Each gift is at- tached to a slender ribbon which leads out of the bowl to the recipient's place at the table. • Another lovely idea to tie a setting together is to use a white lace cloth and weave plaid ribbon around the edges like a wave. A plaid scarf may be used as a runner on a sideboard. Matching plaid napkins and even plaid plates for a large group or buffet finishes off the motif.

According to Barbara Huard, senior Product Manager at Carlton Cards, many Canadian families today set up a traditional tree in the family room, complete with an eclectic assortment of store bought and handmade decora- tions, and a second miniature tree in the liv- ingroom, perhaps set in a window and coordinated with a specific theme. Here's some tips for Christmas trees from Carlton Cards: • Begin by making sure your tree is upright and completely secure. Be sure stand is full of water if you have a real tree and fiU it each day. • Whether a real or an ar- tificial tree is used, it's a good idea to match its decor to the theme chosen for the rest of the house. Nothing achieves a more old fashioned look than lots of colorful, traditional decorations and bright rib- bon or bows. Add garlands of fresh cranberries and popcorn by using a small needle and heavy thread. Alternate berries and kernals or make separate ropes of each. • Use only Canadian Stan- dards Association approv- ed lights and look for the CSA label. Put lights on first, draping them right around the tree, working from top to bottom. Check that they are working pro- perly before using and dont bury them under other decorations m case they overheat. • Add remaining decora- tions with care, distributing evenly over the whole area. Put heavier items on first making sure they are positioned on the stronger branches. Leave branch tips for ribbon or paper ornaments such as hanging lanterns and tiny fans made from color- cordinating wrap. Burgun- dy, ivory and green, are colors incorporated into Carlton Cards' "Olde Fashioned" line this year and make a striking presentation. l Business Community News The Best Way To Play The Markets Is your money working as hard as you are? Through mutual funds you as a smaller investor, can participate in the same diversification, profes- sionally managed port- folios that larger investors take part in. This attrac- tive pool of investments that offer a superior rate of return are known as mutual funds. Mutual funds are an idea whose time has come. Even though the first "mutual" was introduced in the later 19th century, the idea of mutual fund is mostappropriate for to- day's investor. Your average investor today not only lacks the inclination and expertise to invest his money wisely but also lack the time needed to properly manage a well diversified portfolio. A formal definition: "A mutual fund is an invest- ment vehicle allowing in- vestors with similar objec- tives the opportunity to participate in the growth and income potential of a diversivied professionally managed portfolio." In other words mutual funds offer the small in- vestor the same opportuni- ty as tete larger investor to proportionately participate in a well . well diversified and very ligted portfolio. As with any other invest- DAVID sOWW*&U ment, mutuals offer a variety of choice to the in- vestor depending on his :needs and objectives. With hundreds of funds in Canada alone, the choice is vast. "Which fund do I choose?" The objectives of the investor whether it be income, capital apprecia- tion, or a specialty fund will have a lot to do with which fund to choose. My preference is to invest in funds with the top long term track records. Although past perfor- mance is no guarantee of future performance, it cer- tainly is a direct reflection of the expertise of the funds' managers. As with most stocks, a mutual can be bought or sold on any day and settled in five business days. Another reason for choosing mutual funds is diversification. The risk in- herent in any one invest- ment is reduced by spreading yaw investment dollar over a diversified portfolio of securities. The level of diversification achieved is greater than most investors can achieve independently and hence the ever growing populari- ty of mutual funds. Most mutual funds can be categorized into three areas - equity, income or specialty funds. , Equity funds range from blue chip common shares 'to speculative common stock investments. These funds would be best suited to younger investors look- ing for long term capital appreciation and ag- gressive growth through in- vestment in junior com- panies. How much does it cost to get this professional exper- tise, liquidity and diver- sification? Most funds charge a front-end load or sales charge ranging from nine percent down to one percent. For this fee, you generally can expect a superior rate of return. In fact, the July 31st Survey of Mutual Funds in the Financial Times reveals that the top 62 funds, 40 of which qualify for RRSPs, had 10 year average compounded rates of return of 18'X, per year or better. Sonne mutual funds have no load at all. In choosing a mutual fund, investors have to look at more than fees. Superior long term rate of return, the management group and the track record of the port- folio manager are vital. try Warren Scheifele, an In- vestmem Executive with McLeod Young Weir Limited in Scark - gh who welcomes inquiries at _!16-2!21. Many Freer Trade Opponents Hypocritical, Confused While some Canadians have genuine, well-motivatedreservations about the freer trade deal with the US, much of the opposition to the deal an be characterized as hypocritical and confused. The hottest arguments against freer trade have been that the dal threatens Canada's culture and sover- eignty. The truth is that neither is threatened because the Canadian gov- ernment will be able to cancel the dal if it feels that the country's' are not being served. It's important, however, to ex- amine the arguments made by some opponents of freer trade to expose their real motives. Canada's left wing nationalists argue that a freer trade deal will swamp Canadian Culture with "Yankee trash". The main cultural difference between our two countries is that Canada evolved into a constitutional monarchy, mostly peacefully, through the rule of law. Our Queen, today, remains a powerful living symbol of that proud heritage and its associated institutions. In the American colonies, British subjects fought a bloody revolu- tion to achieve independence. Do the freer trade opponents defend this heritage? On the contrary, the shrillest defenders of Canadian culture seem dedicated to destroying it. The Toronto Star supports the removal of the oath of allegiance to the Queen in the citizenship ceremony. Day in, day out The Star uses Ameri- can spelling in its copy. Those great Canadian national- ists at the National Film Board pro- duced a base, repellent hatchet -job on Canadian war hero Billy Bishop which has since been exposed as a fabrication. Premier David Peterson's Lib- eral government in Ontario bas intro- duced a bill to stop any further awarding of the honorific "Queen's Counsel", which recognizes those "learned in law". The other way in which freer trade opponents arc most alarmist is by claiming that the deal threatens Cana- dian sovereignty. Ed Broadbent, the same man who is so concerned with protecting Canadian sovereignty, is doing his best to get Canada to desert its traditional allies and pull out of NATO and Norad. Federal Liberal leader John Turner condemns the Americans, who happen to be our allies in the two foregoing alliances, for testing un- armed cruise missiles over Canada Meanwhile, Soviet Bear bombers, ca- pable of carrying existing Soviet nu- clear cruise missiles, feint at our defences 25 miles off our northern coast. Those in the Liberal -left have long been internationalists, UN boost- ers, world federalists. Why then do they so venomously oppose freer trade? Why ate they so anti-American? The reason is that these freer trade opponents, for the most part, believe in elitism and extensive state intervention in our lives. They promote equality", not freedom. For them, the US, with its ethos of individualism and capitalism, is the enemy that threatens all that for which they stand. That is the motivation for their opposition to freer trade with the US.

Addressing more than 250 business people at the 16th annual seminar, Dr. John Grant, Chief Economist at Wood Gundy, predicted that short-term interest rates will rise moderately in the coming months, while the inflation rate will drop to below four peG a t expects a short- term "serious downdraft in some components of con- sumer spending, par- ticularly in the durables area and in residential con- struction." He noted that such a slowdown was "pro bably deserved and useful." given the strong growth and inflationary pressures that have been building in Southern On- tario in the last year. The decrease on the con- sumer side will be somewhat offset by the continuing strength in bunness capital gmidbg. Overall. Grant anticipates a national rate of growth of iS% for 1988, down tram the 1967 rate of 4%. Grant predicted thhat a moderate rise in short- term interest rates is pro- bably "what the doctor ordered in returning some orderliness to financial markets." Such a rise is necessary, he suggested, in order to prevent a resurgence in inflation. longer-term interest rates are predicted to fall slight- ly. This rate rise should push the Canadian dollar up into the 80 cent range against the U.S. dollar, which makes our exports less corthpetitive but lowers the cost of imported goods. Grant advised that the most important single task Graduates Provincial Constable (Probationary) Paul Chafe of Scarborough, has recent- ly graduated from the Pro- vincial Police Academy, Brampton, after successful completion of the "Recruit Orientation Course".

POST Wed. Dec. 16, 1987 Holiday Party Planning Made Simple With Help From Neighbourhood Wine Market Proper wine service at holiday parties can make the difference between a get-together and a smashing success. The host must consider what food will be served, what time of day the party will be held, what the per- sonal tastes of himself and his guests is, how much wine to purchase, what temperature it should be served at, and how much he wants to spend. Gazing up and down the shelves of the liquor store won't help you answer these questions, so it's not surprising that so many are finding the help offered by their local retail wine market invaluable.

If You're Headed To Australia See The Sights If you're heading down to Australia for Expo '88, you'll have a chance to take in some of the sights and sounds of the capital city of the State of Queensland, Brisbane. When you're actually on the Expo site you'll be stan- ding on the south bank of the Brisbane River, a half mile from Brisbane's cen- tral business district and dose to the city's much ac- claimed Cultural Centre. Chances are, during your visit 'Down Under' you'll have a few days to just wander around the city. The city of Brisbane and the river which meanders through it were named after the Scottish soldier and astronomer, Sir Thomas Macdougall Brisbane (1772-1960). Governor of New South Wales from 1521 to 1825.

I6,.1,W THE NEW/PAST Page 13 As Well As Fun Club Med Reduces Your Stresses by Bob Watson I have just returned from another terrific vacation with Club Med - this time at Cancun, Mexico. The weather was warm and beautiful, except for a day of rain, and my blood pressure went down to nor- mal while I relaxed in the atmosphere of my favourite vacation spot. Business people should consider going to a Club Med village because your blood pressure will drop to normal in just 24 hours. The club nurse took my blood pressure every day of my week's stay and it went from 180 over 120 down to 110 over 70! Of course, the food was delicious and the choices -for each meal unbelievable. Nowhere is the food so tasty and available, at your choice, in any quantity. The Grouper fish was great as well as the meats and the fruits always on hand for each meal added that notch of taste! Each day I walked the beach for two or more miles because, personally lying in the sun doesn't have the same appeal as walking in the sand which moives our toes. The first y at Cancun I noticed a para -sailing out- fit down the beach from Club Med. This ride under the parachute pulled by a rope tied to a motorboat has always intrigued me. So I managed to get Sue Fmkk and Margaret Mc- Cormick of California to join me in this enterprise. The sensation of floating up over the Gulf of Mexico is difficult to describe ex- cept that you feel like a bird hovering over the water and look dawn on the land!

'Beautiful Breads -Easy Finishing Touches 131 LESSON BASICS: LESSON 4 CRt'ST BEAUTIFIERS Simple breads with basic in- gredients come out of the oven with fight golden brown crusts. There are a vanety of treatments that can enhance the look of your bread with just a few easy touches. Generally they are app- lied after the final rising, just before baking. The experts at FLEISCHMANN'S Yeast re- commend the following: Egg Wwh Brush oven-ready bread with one egg or egg white beaten with a little water for a super shiny trust. If you forget to do it before baking, you can do it five minutes before the bread is ready to come out of the oven. Marptriine For less shine but a good deep golden brown colour and fla- vour, brush margarine on bread just out of the oven. This helps tenderize the crust, too. Milt If you brush loaves with milk, you'll get a slightly soft or tender crust, with a somewhat dull shine. %ater For a crisp crust. brush or lightly spay with water. Placing a pan of hot water on the shelf below the bread while baking will create steam for a super crest. Snow Blower 1 Repair Service - all types We also sharpen: Ice ogors, sans, lawn mowers, chainsaws and all household items Huck Grinding Service 1 127 Malw7e Rd. Unil 10 Scarborough 751-4489 Cornstarch Glaze For a chewy crust, dissolve 1 ' 2 teaspoon (2 mL) cornstarch in 1; 4 cup (50 mL) water. Boil until clear; cool. Brush dough just before loaves are fully baked. Best for rv_ e -like breads. Seeded Breads Poppy, caraway, sesame sad or oats are eye -appealing and tasty toppings. Brush unbaked loaves with an egg white wash and then sprinkle on seeds or oats. After dough rises, glaze and slash top with sharp knife, cut- ting about 1;4 -inch (6 mm) deep. Loaves look professional and decorative. BAKING Breads should always be placed in a preheated oven on the lowest oven rack position unless the recipe indicates other- wise. Follow recipe directions for baking times as they will vary with the type of dough. About 3 4 the way through the baking time you can check the progress of the bread. If it is quite brown at this point, lightly tent the loaf with foil. On the other hand. if the bread looks pale, the loaf may require a few minutes longer baking than the time in the recipe.

Queen s a Park Report from Noah Stoner MPP Durham West The recent economic statement to the legislature by On- tario Treasurer Robert Nixon was welcome news. As we all know, the world stock markets have seen wild fluctuations in the past few months, falling to record krws during that time. The Treasurer's statement said despite this uncer- tainty, the fundamental strength of the Ontario economy re- mains intact. Ontario's economy will continue to grow during the next year," Mr. Nixon said. The statement said in real tams. Ontario's economy is expected to grow by 3.9 percent this year. Because of the stronger economic growth, employ- ment is more robust than anticipated. Job creation is ex- pected to average more than 140.000 for 1987. According to the statement, the unemployment rate, which has posted a downward trend throughout the year, will average 6.2 percent this year. It's currently 5.7 percent. That's the lowest the jobless rate has been in Ontario in the past decade. The Ontario economy over the post five years has experienced one of its strongest expansion on record, with real output growing by more than 32 percent and employment by 19 percent. The unemployment rate in Ontario is the lowest of the Canadian provinces and considerably less than the national average. but 1 don't think the province can rest on its laurels. More work must be done and the Government of Premier David Peterson is taking the steps needed to meet head-on the challenges which face us. This is being done through such things as increased fun- ding for the apprenticeship system. which will assist in en- suring Ontario has the skilled workforce necessary to deal with technological change. This, in turn, is essential to re- main competitive in the International marketplace. In his economic statement. Mr. Nixon pledged $15.5 billion in operating grants to hospitals, municipalities, school boat, colleges and universities for the IM -89 focal year. That's an increase of $1 billion over the levels of the current fiscal year, which ends March 31, 1988.

NORAH'S NOTES: The membership of the Standing Committees of the Legislature was recently announced. It is my pleasure to serve as chairman of the Committee on General Govern- ment. My caucus duties include chairing the Central Ontario Region committee and being a member of the liberal Caucus Executive. I was pleased to attend the recent official opening of the Durham Board of Education's William Dunbar School in Pickering and bring g'eetuigs from The Hon. Chris Ward, Minister of Education. I congratulate the organizers of the event, who put together an enjoyable program. Also, thanks to the Pickering Kinsmen Club for the invita- tion to me to take part in the Pickering Santa Clans parade Sat. Nov. 21. Ontario's Solicitor General, the Hon. Joan Smith, an- nounced in the Legislature recently the province intends to introduce legislative changes in the new year which would allow individual municipalities to regulate Sunday store openings. I wholeheartedly endorse the Minister's an- nouncement. Furthermore, it is my opinion that municipalities should hold referendums on Sunday shopping. These plebiscites could be held in conjunction with the 1988 municipal elec- tions. Referendums would be the most appropriate way for every voter to have his / her say, just as people had the same opportunity in the past to say whether they wanted their communities to be "wet" or "dry" with respect to alcohol. In her statement to the Legislature Mrs. Smith said it has become apparent there is widespread concern about the current and future status of the Provincial Retail Business Holidays Act as it applies to Sunday opening. The select committee report on the Act, released last spring, contain- ed a number of recommendations for changes to the pre- sent law, including development of a Provincial Tourism �k Speaking To You - Stott Fennel M.P. Orrbrb Riding Did you know that our Canadian economy literally runs on wheels? Last year Canadian workers produced nearly 37 billion dollars worth of cars, trucks, auto parts, tires and trailers. That makes the auto industry our biggest single business. From 1985 to 1987, we have invested over three billion dollars in auto assembly and parts plants which have produced huge spin offs to our economy. The free trade agreement ensures that not only will the Auto Pact be retained it will also be improved. Products currently outside the pact - replacement parts and tires - will trade duty free, an enormous opportunity for our world class autoparts producers. Under the 1965 Auto Pact, to enter the U.S. duty free, 50 percent of the appraised customs value ofa, vehicle which included labour, material, overhead and profits - had to be North American content. Now under the new agreement, 50 percent of the direct manufacturing costs need be North American. These costs do not include profit or overhead and is therefore the equivalent of about 70 percent of the appraised customs value. 'pros the free trade agreement has increased the local content that must actually go into car production by redefining the 50 percent content rule. All Canadian manufacturers will greatly benefit from this increase in local content required by the Auto Pact. Under the new agreement we as consumers will reap benefits as well. Lower prices for aftermarket parts should result from the elimination of the bilateral tariffs. Right now we cannot import used vehicles. other than antiques, from the United States. Free trade will prase out the em- bargo on used cars. if you will be in the market for buying a used car. you will have more flexibility and a greater choice to choose from. The two governments also agreed that some of the challenges facing the North American Auto industry were more than a matter of negotiating a free trade deal. They have therefore agreed to establish a Blue Ribbon Panel, to advise the two governments an automotive issues. The pone] can also propose policy changes which will help automakers compete in domestic and foreign markets. I have complete confidence in Canadian ingenuity. Exemption Plan and increased penalties for violating the law. Mrs. Smith said the Government, after giving the report careful and detailed study, has concluded the recommenda- tions are unworkable. There is goat diversity of opinion amongst the general public an the Sunday shopping issue. While some people are calling for increased Sunday open- ings, others want more restrictions than currently exist. The Solicitor General, in her statement, pointed out that "the factors affecting consumers and retailers in Hawkesbury and New Liskeard are quite different from those in Metro Toronto and may require different ap- proaches to the issue." Mrs. Smith said it's the Provincial Government's conchsion that a municipality can best ad- dress the appropriate solution in its locality. Until there is a change in the law, the current legislation will continue to be enforced. In a related development. the Provincial Attorney General, the Honourable Ian Scott, has announced that all retail stores which are closed Saturday. December 26th an open Sunday, the 27th of December if they desire. These won't be prosecutions under the Retail Business Holidays Act for opening that Sunday. NORAH'S NOTES: The northern part of the Westney Rood interchange at Highway 401 in Ajax is now open. The Hon. Ed Fulton, Munster of Transportation, was an hand for the official opening Fri. Dec. 4th.
