The Interagency Council
on Smoking and Health for
the Durham Region is go-
ing to bring pressure on
local women to give up
smoking during National
Non -Smoking Week Jan.
14-20.
This year the theme of
the week will be "Women &
Smoking" and the local
agency will have a number
of activities to emphasize
cutting out smoking.
There will be displays at
local malls and the Seventh
Day Adventist Church in
Oshawa, Ajax and
Bowmanville will be spon-
soring a "Breath Free Pro-
gram...
ro-
gram' .
T -Shirts with the slogan
"First Generation of Non -
Smokers" will be
distributed free to infants
born in hospitals during the
week.
Poster contests for
school age children will be
in action and there is to be
a challenge between com-
munities.
According to the Council
on Smoking and Health the
majority of Canadians are
now non-smokers and this
trend has helped to reduce
the billions of dollars we
spend annually on health
care for those afflicted with
diseases associated with
smoking, namely heart
disease, cancer and lung
trouble.
The Lung Association
says that nicotine and the
cancer-causing compounds
of cigarette smoke, once
they are inhaled, become
distributed throughout
your body, including
mothers' breast milk.
The baby of a smoker
who chooses to breast feed
can absorb enough nicotine
after nursing for only one
day to cause irritability,
poor sleeping habits and
vomiting.
Tests have shown that
children exposed to second
hand smoke in a small
roorn for 30 minutes, ex-
perienced an increase in
heart rate and blood
pressure as well as a rise in
the carbon monoxide level
in their blood.

Q. What is an old school tie? E.W.
A. An old school tie is a gentleman's tie in the colors of the
school which the wearer attended. Much as sweatshirts
with the names and colors of American universities on
them. old school ties identify the wearers to others as hav-
ing connections with a particular institution of learning. In
the case of old school ties, they indicate attendance at one of
a group of English private secondary schools called pubic
schools.
The first old school tie was the Old Etonian tie whose col-
ors - narrow blue and broad back stripes - were decided
upon by the old Etonian Association in Judy of 19oo.
Q. Is Fannie Farmer's The Boston Cooking -School
Cookbook a classic because it was America's first
cookbook? B.D.
A. Fannie Farmer's cookbook is still well known because it
was the first to give precise instructions and measurements
of ingredients. Before, directions had always been in ap-
proximates such as "a walnut sized lump" of this, or a
"heaping cup" (of any size) of that.
Miss Farmer led a personal crusade to make cooking a
scientific art. Her famous book was published in 1896 and
over the years came to be known simply as "The Fannie
Farmer Cookbook". As well as giving hundreds of clearly
written recipes which had been tested by the students and
faculty of the Boston Cooking School, the book was also full
of culinary physics, chemical expositions, and charts and
tables.
Although Little, Broom and Company turned Fannie
down until she agreed to personally pay for the printing of
the first 3,000 copies, the book became an instant best seller
and went on to be revised 12 times. A modern version of the
cookbook is still in print and being used by cooks today.

Telephone hotlines are a life -line for those in need.
whether with landlord problems, personal problems or pro-
blems with "butting out". Just such a life -line will be in
place on Jan. 20th, "Weedless Wednesday', when the Metro
Toronto Interagency Council on Smoking and Health
presents a one -day "Celebrity Hotline" 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at
362-8145.
The council, a network of health agencies including The
Lung Association, the Canadian Cancer Society and Heart
and Stroke Foundation, have persuaded volunteers and
celebrities to sit by the phones and provide advice, counsel
and good old common sense to people who want to quit
smoking and need someone to talk to. This year's theme is
"Women and Smoking" as health experts are concerned at
the alarming number of young girls and women who are
lighting up instead of butting out.
The telephones will be set up in the lobby of The Sheraton
Centre and would-be quitters are invited to drop by and say
hello or call in with their gestions. Questions, if last year is
anything to go by, will range from what to do if a close co-
worker just won't stop smoking to how long will it take for
the lungs to get pink when you quit smoking.
About Air Canada
Dear Sir:
1 notice that David Somerville, President of the National
Citizens' Coalition has been given an extraordinary amount
of space in your Dec. 16th issue.
Mr. Somerville has w•ntten a letter liberally sprinkled
with intemperate language in support of privatizing Air
Canada and on page it he writes a pro-Amencan article at-
tacking the "liberal -left" and supporting the concept of
freer trade.
Who is this prominent citizenwho is contributing so much
to the moulding of public opinion? He must be a person of
great literary ability. Or perhaps he is a man of extraor-
dinary political vision upon whom you have called for a
careful analysis of these two important issues.
Let's look at what he says about Air Canada.
Air Canada. a crown corporation. has gone on strike
against its passengers causing chaos to their business and
holiday plans. I always thought it was the union that went
on strike against the company over employment rNated
issues which the parties were unable to settle through col-
lective bargauiing
It is an empty argument that some services are so essen-
tial that they must be provided through government owner-
ship and conirvl. Perhaps Mr. Somerville should read his
history book about the building of the railway. or the role of
Ontario Hydro in the industrial life of the province; or
perhaps he should take a trip through Northern Ontario an
the somewhat meagre trarsspolitation facilities provided
there.
It is an empty argument that a service which cannot be
provided at a profit should be provided by the government.
Does he mean that the service should be provided by
private enterprise or does he mean that the service should
not be provided at all If it is the first, perhaps he could sup-
ply us with a list of his entrepreneurial friends who would
provide the service at a loss If it is the second, perhaps he
would explain to the residents of our less populated areas
w•hy they should not be entitled to transportation and com-
munication.
If :'lir Canada had been privatized several years ago and
had to sink of swim without government subsidies or loan
guarantees. these striking employees would have been less
welling to walk out.
What a wonderful statement:' The inferences are that
pnvate companies do not get government bans or grants
and that there would not likely have been a strike if Air
Canada had been privately owned. Obviously Mr. Somer-
ville is oblivious to certain long, bitter strikes in private in-
dustry, at companies which have benefitted from handouts
from the public purse. One example. the 7 month strike at
International !nickel in Sudbury.
Bnan Mulroney has vetoed the sale of Air Canada.
It's only a few days ago that Barbara McDougall, the
Minister of Privatization, said that the sale of Air Canada
was a distinct possibility. Maybe Brian didn't tell her.
There are advocates of Mr. Somerville's point of view
who are able to present their case with a degree of convic-
tion, skill and finesse that would better convince your
readers if that is indeed what you are trying to do.
Using :air. Somerville's somewhat limited talents is an in-
sult to the intelligence of your readers.

Middle East Crisis Can
Become Opportunity
Canada is being urged to ask the United Nations to take
the lead in seeking a bong -term settlement of the Israeli-
Palestiniari dispute in the West Bank and Gaza.
In a letter to External Affairs Secretary, the Rt. Hon. Joe
Clark. Chairman of the House of Commons Standing Corn-
mittee on Herman Rights. declared that the rights of mere,
worriers and children in the region should take priority over
national objectives. What is becoming a crisis can be turn-
ed into an opportunity if the United Nations Security Coun-
cil takes the initiative, Reg Stackhouse MP Scarborough
West, said.
'-For 20 years, this issue has been a running sore on the
face of the world and the current tamest shows that it can
become a political malignancy. Canada's long service to
Peace on the region gives it a credibility to take the lead in
restoring order with justice." be added.
"This is not a time for either side to dwell on past con-
troversies but to seize new opportunities. I hope Canada
will act." Stackhouse wrote

Ignorance
Remember, ignorance does not protect
From punishment.
Such is the law of the land.
So we come to the conclusion
It takes a great deal of knowledge
To avoid future confusion,
Wars and crime.
We read the Old Testament
And the great history books again and again
And ask ourselves then:
If in the days of old
There was famine and strife
Constant struggle
To keep alive,
Why have we not learned
From the past''
Let us defeat ignorance
At last.

Tax Reform Means Savings
"As a result of the tax reform measures announced by
Finance Minister Michael Wilson, e5% of families in Scar-
borough Centre will pay less taxes,.. Pauline Browes. M.P.
Scarborough Centre, said in the House of Cornrnoss.
Tax reform also means that nine out of ten seniors in
Scarborough Centre will pay lower taxes and thousands of
low income families will pay no tax at all,.. Brower said.
Browes used the example of three people in her riding to
demonstrate bow tax reform will benefit the majority of
Canadians. She mentioned two senior citizens whose total
income is based on Old Age Security, Canada Pension Plan
benefits, and a small additional pension. Under the tax
reform measure, both seniors will save over $3oo in taxes
next year.
In addition, because of the conversion of tax exemptions
into tax credits and the lowering of personal income tax
rates, Browes noted that another family in Scarborough
will reduce their tax bill by $1,000.
"For these people, and thousands more in Scarborough
Centre, tax reform means savings," she said.

Centennial -Rouge
United Church
by Julie Webb
Someone asked Rev.
Sanguin before church
what his sermon was going
to be about, and he said
"Wise Men".
This was more than ap-
propriate since it was
Epiphany. But like always,
when you review
something you find
something you've missed
before.
Those wise men, now. I'd
never really seen them
before as they spent their
lives searching for truth
and enlightenment. A
lifetime is a long time to
look for anything. And
what they found was not
the majestic, but the lowly;
toot a warrior king, but an
infant.
And so it is that God
shows Himself to a waiting
world. Not in the powerful,
but in the wonderful. We
may not spend every
minute of our lifetime sear-
ching like the wise men.
But if we are not willing to
make a search, we will
miss something we need.
We will miss God's
presence in our lives.
The community luncheon
will be held on Mon. Jan.
18th in the church hall at
12:30 p.m. and all are
welcome.
The annual meeting will
be held on Feb. 7th after
service. That will be a
special service as we will
be welcoming new
members. After the
meeting we will share a pot
luck meal.
says Corrigan, "is the fact
that during 1987, 22 other
Ontario municipalities
completed the political pro-
cess necessary to launch
curbside recycling pro-
grams in 1988." Those now
committed include three

he added.
"OMMRI has already
made a major financial
commitment to these
municipal programs. To
date we have provided or
promised close to $3 million
and we will continue to
help. By the end of 1968 that
total could reach close to $6

About Recycling
Created by Ontario's soft
drink bottlers, their
packaging suppliers and in-
terested industry associa-
tions, OMMRI funds up to
one-third of a community's
capital costs and 100 per-
cent of the "blue box"
launch promotion costs.
The organization also pro-
vides technical support and
training for municipal of-
ficials involved in the pro-
grams. The Ministry of the
Environment and the
municipality also con-
tribute towards the costs.
A "Class One" curbside
program involves the col-
lection and recycling of
newspapers, glass bottles
and jars, steel food and
beverage cans, aluminum
cans and plastic soft drink
bottles. Householders
simply put the recyclable
materials in their "blue
box" for curbside pick-up
on regular garbage collm-
tion days.

Video Screen
At Skydome
A gigantic Sony Jum-
boTRON video screen. the
largest television display in
the world will be the first in
Canada as a feature attrac-
tion of Toronto's new
Skydome Stadium.
Sony of Canada Ltd. has
announced that the Jum-
boTRON installation,
which includes the
stadium's main colour
video, display scoreboard,
is an integral part of a
multi-million dollar con-
tract awarded to the can -
pany by the Stadium Cor-
poration of Ontario.
The JumboTRON Video
System was originally ex-
hibited by Sony at Expo 85
in Tsukuha, Japan. It in-
troduced a new era of
visual communications
with a television picture
nearly fourteen stories tall.
Since then JumboTRON
video displays have been
installed in many major
centres in the United States
including Jacob Javitz Con-
vention Center in New
York, San Francisco's
Candlestick Park, River -
front Stadium in Cincinnati
and Dolphin Stadium in
Miami.
In commenting on the
selection of Sony Jum-
boTRON for Skydome,
Chuck Magwood, Presi-
dent, Stadium Corporation
of Ontario, stated, "Our
planning committee was
determined to get the very
best video display that
modern technology had to
offer. We visited Dolphin
Stadium in Miami and
were very impressed with
the picture quality and ver-
satility of the JumboTRON
system. We think it will add
an important new dimen-
sion to any spectator event.
Just imagine to be able to
enhance the live action on
the field at Blue Jays or
Argo games and close-ups,
slow motion and instant
replays. The fans will love
it."
Canadian Advisory Council
on the Status of Women, is
the official mediator of the
event.
Doris Anderson will pre-
sent the position that
women should be aware of
some of the roadblocks
they are going to run
across in order that they
can take care of
themselves.
Maureen Sabia will
represent the view that
women should take respon-
sibility for their own lives
and that if they want to suc-
ceed in the marketplace
they should be prepared to
compete.
Theme of the debate is
the willingness of women to
look after their own in-
terests. It was organized by
CAWBO to create discus --
cion about how women can
develop their skills to
benefit in today's business
environment. CAWBO has
been acting as a support
group for women business
owners since 1981.
Tickets cost :10 and can
be purchased at the
Women's Bookstore
located at 73 Harbord St. or

Proliferation of All-Wac
Stop Signs.
The Board of Trade
claims too many all -way
stop signs are installed for
non-technical reasons.
Since municipal councils
often ignore tcrhnical traf-

previously asked the
Minister of Transportation
to reassume the authority
the Ministry once had for
approving stop signs. This
position was circulated to a
number of transportation
organizations for support.
Support of the board's re-
quest was overwhelming.
The board submits the

At a Nov. 2. 1987 North

John Crosby. Chairman of

Committee presented the
board's support for the
Leslie Street Extension.
Following a lengthy public
meeting North York Coun-
cil voted in favour of the ex-

must be approved by Metro
Council.
Amid opposition from a
number of local resident
associations and commuuni-
ty groups, Mr. Crosby
stressed the benefits of the
extension to Metro's con-
gested road system and to
the local area as well.
The
of this
missingroad link would
reduce traffic congestion at
the Leslie Eglinton in-
tersection and the traffic
demand on the other
arterial roads in the area,
substantially reduce the
number of vehicles cur-
rently filtering through
local streets, take advan-
tage of residual capacity on
the Bayview Extension,

ment opportunities in the

Move CP Marshalling Yards Out?
by Gay Abbate
Scarborough Council
wants the federal gove-m-
ment to move the Agin-
court Marshalling Yard out
of Metro and to build a new
rail line away from highly
populated areas to carry
dangerous goods.
The line should be moved
north-east outside of Scar-
borough and the new rail
line should be built in a less
populated area north of the
greater metropolitan area
says council. This is the
message it delivered Tues-
day morning to a federal
task force studying the
transportation of
dangerous goods through
the Metro area.
The task force was set up
two years ago as a result of
the 1979 Mississauga train
derailment which resulted
in some $80 million proper-
ty damage and the evacua-
tion of 250,000 people.
Council's position was
outlined in a report
prepared by Works Dept.
staff. The report argues
that the marshalling yard
lands could be worth $100
million or more and could
be developed for housing or
industrial uses.
It also concludes that the
existing rail lines could be

used to improve commuter
transit especially in Scar-
borough. The report points
out that it takes as long to
reach Union Station by
public transit from the
Scarborough City Centre
(about 54 minutes) as it
does by GO rail from
Milton, Ontario.
The idea of moving the
Agincourt yard was first
proposed by former Alder-
man Joe DeKort during his
unsuccessful 1985 mayoral-
ty bid. At that time most
politicians laughed at the
idea but now council sup-
ports it.
Scarborough's report
presented to the task force
recommends that the
government at least pro-
tect a new rail corridor
even if it refuses to build
one now. The cost of
building a new line and re-
locating the Agincourt and
Vaughan marshalling
yards is in the area of $1.7
billion.
It also recommends that
all trains carrying
dangerous goods be re-
quired to keep to a 25
m.p.h. speed limit through
Metro.
The task force will be
making its recommenda-
tions to federal minister of

Town television show.
In retrospect we realize
he was breaking in new
material for what eventual-
ly became his Tony award
winning show The World
According To Me!
The show, or most of it
anyway, has now been
released by Warner
Brothers Records and we
listened to it over a recent
lazy weekend. It's a live
recording complete with
audience reaction and the
material is still hilarious.
One cannot. of course,
see the marvellous facial
expressions of Mr. Mason
but that's only a minor
criticism though it remains
that his humour - cerebral
as it is, in part - is better
heard and seen than read.
Probably the best bits oc-
cur in his dissertation on
Jews and Gentiles. It's
biting but true, emphatic
yet kind.
'A Gentile's home is a
workshop, a Jew's is a
museum.
..You never see a Chinese
in a Jewish restaurant."
"Gentiles can eat four
meals in a restaurant while
a Jew is arguing over the
length of the carrots...
"A Gentile is proud to
have a son who's a truck
driver. A Jew's son doesn't
drive. he controls. He's a
controller in the trucking
industry. '
Our quotes aren't exact
but by now you should have
an idea of the wealth of
material on this L.P.
We haven't even men-
tioned his comments on
sec. psychiatry and Ronald
Reagan. "He j9 saws 'ha.
ha, ha' and rides off into
the sunset."
Comedy albums
sometimes leave us cold
but this one left us limp
with laughter. Encore Mr.
Mason .. soon!
ONSCREEN:
A major birthday is in
danger of passing unnotic-
ed. We're talking Daffy
Duck. Yes indeed, the little
ring necked rascal has
turned 50 and in honaa of
the occasion Warner
Brothers has produced the
first Looney Tunes
theatrical short in 20 years
and it stars Daffy Duck.
The title is The Duxorcist
and the co-star is Thelma
Duck. It should be at a
nearby theatre soon. Do not
miss this opportunity to
honour Donald's nearest
rival. You know, we've
always had this sneaking
suspicion that they were
hatched from the same
nest.

Soul Warming Comfort Foods
Colder weather calls for soul warming comfort foods and
a hearty beef stew or curry fits the fill.
A little organization and time can provide 3 meals for 4
people. Make this versatile beef stew base, then divide into
3 equal portions. You can then have quick meals three
nights in a row or tuck them in the freezer for future din-
ners.
Browning the stewing beef in the oven rather than frying
on top of the stove is faster, much less messy and
eliminates the fat used for frying. After browning, combine
all the base ingredients and simmer until tender. Be aware
though, that the wonderful aroma may make you forget
about packing it away in the freezer.
Once defrosted, choose between Sweet and Sour Beef
Stew, Beef Bayou (a spicy creole mixture), Curried Beef or
Beef and Brew Dip to make a fast and delicious meal.
Beef Stew Base
The oven browning not only saves time but eliminates
frying in fat.
41/2 lb. lean stewing beef, cut in 1" cubes 2 kg.
1/2 Cup all purpose flour 125 mL
1 tsp salt 5 ML
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper 2 mL
4 cups beef stock, preferably homemade 1 L

North York and sponsored
by the North York Sym-
phony Association, begins
Jan. 16 at 2:30 p.m. in
Minkler Auditorium,
Seneca College, 1750 Finch

The wonderful music of
composers such as
Beethoven, Mozart,
Mendelssohn, Sousa and
many more are included in
the programs of this series.
Young people get to know
the orchestra first-hand
because they sit in the or-
chestra beside a musician
for one half of one of the
four concerts.
Everyone wants to ask
questions about the reason
certain instruments look
the way they do and get the
sounds that they make.
Such questions are
answered for everyone, not
just the very young, by
"Dr. Bill" and his
delightful presentation of
the music from around the
globe.
All concerts are on Satur-
days at 2:30 p.m. The
subscription price is SM for
four concerts to be held on
Jan. 16, Feb. 6 and 27 and
Mar. 26.
These one hour concerts
are geared to young people
five to thirteen years of age
with music, movement and
participation.

NORAH'S NOTES
The Ministry of Culture and Communications recently
announced approval of grants to both the Ajax and Picker-
ing Public Libraries. The $5,000 grant to the Ajax Library
will be used to enhance the library's collection of educa-
tional video cassettes. The library will match the funds.
The Pickering Library will receive $12,000 toward the
cost of a feasibility study on automation. The province is
paying three-quarters of the cost of the study.

PAY EQUITY
The Pay Equity Act of Ontario went into effect on
January 1st.
The act, which will be implemented on a phased -in basis,
covers the public and private sectors and is aimed at nar-
rowing the wage gap that exists between men and women
by eliminating the gap that has come about from under-
valuation of women's work.
In 1985 women employed full time in this province earned
63% of what men with full time jobs made. It's estimated
that a quarter to a half of that gap is due to female-
predorninated jobs being undervalued.
Under pay equity wages are based on the work performed
regardless of the gender of the person doing the job.
Implementation of the Pay Equity Act applies first in the
provincial civil service and other public sector organiza-
tions such as schools and hospitals. Large private sector
organizations will be next. followed by smaller private sec-
tor organizations. Employers with less than ten workers
are exempt from the Act.
Under the legislation, which covers full and permanent
part time workers in female -predominated job classes,
employers will have to compare the value of jobs done
predominantly by women to male -predominated jobs. If
jobs are found to be of comparable value but pay inequities
exist. wage hikes will be required for those in the
predominantly female jobs. Job classes ae compared on the
basis of skill. effort, responsibility and working conditions.
Annual pay equity adjustments can be limited to one per-
cent of the previous year's payroll. but employers in the
public sector have to finish the adjustments within seven

For Adults there's Women's Night Out. First - Natural
Healing. Join us for this fascinating discussion on reflex-

ology is a science which deals with the principle that there
are reflexes in the feet and hands relative to each and every
organ and all parts of the body. Reflexology helps the body
normalize itself in a natural way, a type of preventative
maintenance. A trained practitioner in therapeutic touch
can identify areas of congestion where the energy is block-
ed in the body and it can be smoothed away allowing the
brain to release natural pain relievers.
The instructor, Suzanne Wright, Certified Reflexologist,
,and Natural Healing Counsellor, will discuss the "back
blower" counselling technique that involves releasing mix-
ed emotions plus the wellness feeling and the importance of
living life with a positive healthy outlook.
Then - Folk Art Painting - Discover the technique involv-
ed in hand painting. Instructor Linda Laffey will
demonstrate folk art strokes through very simple painting.
Samples will be displayed and questions will be encourag-
ed. There will be an opportunity to purchase unique and
beautifully crafted items at the conclusion of the
demonstration.
