The agreement, which will retrain in effect until Aug. 31, 1995, is ex- pected to be approved by the separate board at their next regular board meeting. Report Approved The 1958-89 Enrolment, Personnel and Accom- modation Data report for the Durham Board of Education was approved by trustees and will be for- warded to the Planning and Implementation Commis- sion. A similar report has been compiled by the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board. Lobbying Efforts Future lobbying efforts for the board will be co- ordinated through the Chairman's Committee. Ajax trustee Duncan Read recently appointed as the board's trustee lobbyist, will now become a member of the Chairman's Cornmit- tee. The board supported, in principle. the concept of one voice for trustees to speak on behalf of public education in Ontario. This motion was put forward as a result of correspondence from the Lincoln County Board of Education dealing with a forum on trustee organizations. Unlike the recently -formed Ontario Public Education Network (O.P.E.N.) which consists of members from seven education organizations. this will be an organization of the three public school trustee associations in On- tario. French language Advisory Committee Report Mme Nicole Hodge com- mented on the results of the survey recently conducted by the French Language Advisory Committee.

Why don't beavers drown when they csbew underwater? J.S. A. A beaver's four bright orange eheisors ( the biting teeth at the front of his mouth ) have two folds of skin behind them. These folds of skin cone from each side of the beaver's month and seal off the back portion of the mouth and tbroat. Therefore the beaver can chew underwater without and gnaw down a tree without getting a mouthful A beaver never stops growing until it dies. Beavers average about four feet long and 40 to 40 pounds, but beavers have been trapped that weighed as f91tICh as loo pounds. Beavers have lived to the age of 19 is captivity. Q. Hove was dynamite discovered? H.R. A. According to tradition, the Chinese invented gunpowder sometime before the birth of Christ. It became the prevail- ing explosive all over the world until the nineteenth cew tiny. In 1845 a German chemist, Schoebem, treated cotton fibers with a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids produc- ing a white fibrous product known as nitro-cellulose, or gun- cotton, which was much more explosive than gunpowder. At the same time, an Italian called Ascanio Sobrero was ex- perimenting with ordinary glycerin which he let fall drop by drop on a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids. The result of this experiment was nitorglycerin, which was an explosive even more powerful than guncotton. The problem with nitroglycerin is that it is extremely volatile and therefore must be handled with extreme care. During the 1860's, a Swedish chemist, Alfred Noble, had been working with nitroglycerin and the problems it presented. When he removed some cans of nitroglycerin from the box of kieselguhr to light volcanic earth) in which they had been packed, he found one of them had sprung a leak. The mixture of leaked nitroglycerin and kieselguhy had formed a solid mass which made an explosive much less sensitive to shock and dynamite had been discovered by accident. 1 R.

Jan. 20, 19M opinion a page for expression for you and us Oh, When Will We Get Them? by Bob Watson It is encouraging to see that Kelly Toughill writing in the Toronto Star suggests that the 506 parking spaces at the Dome Stadium are inadequate for the 70.000 people who will try to get into it. Downtown Toronto people have been so btisy grabbing everything they can to pack into one small section of the city that the rest of Metro Toronto can take a backseat. We predict, however, that sports enthusiasts will find it almost impossible to get to a Blue Jays game when the dome opens up. But the big problem in Metro Toronto - and especially the eastern half of Metro - is one of toads. Sam Cass, Metro's Commissioner of Roads, laid out the perfect plan for roads, which included the Spadina and the Scarborough Ex- pressway. If these roads had been built back in the Premier Bill Davis era, traffic would be moving at a reasonable rate and we could all brag that Metro Toronto was the best city in the world for traffic. The Peterson government seems to be putting its head in the sand and not paying attention to all the flaws in the previous PC government. Ontario motorists pay a lot of money - billions - into the coffers of Queen's Park and they do not get the value back in roads as was intended in the licences and gas taxes. We need a gutsy Ontario government to begin a roads program which could eat up a lot of money, but it would be returned in the better personal and business climate in this region Needs Facts On Wartime Dear Editor. I am an M.A. student in history currently attending Laurentian University in Sudbury. I am researching the employment of Northern Ontario women in the war in- dustnes of the Second World War. Many of the large in- dustries such as the muuitions and aircraft plants were located in the highly industrialized areas of Southern On- tario. and many women from the North actually worked in these plants for the duration of the war. A number of com- panies in Northern Ontario. however, also hired women in jobs which in the pre-war years had been designated as male occupations. I would like to correspond with women who worked in Northern and Southern war industries, and with anyone w•to would have information concerning specific industries in the North. ,aluch hired women to meet the much publiciz- ed labour shortage in industry.

Miracle On The Parkway by Bob Watson It was Fri. Jan. 8th as I headed down the Don Valley Parkway to a luncheon at the Royal York Hotel. It had beers snowing slightly in the morning but the roads looped reasonably dry now. As I drove southwards from the 401 in the outside lame I noticed that the car ahead was about six car lengths away and so I speeded up slightly to get closer. Suddenly I saw his rear brake lights go on and I braked slightly, looked in the rear view mirror and noted that two small cars were following me about two car lengths behind. Then I noted that the car in front was fully stopped I I slam- med on my brakes, my car began to slide on the roadway - oh no' the roads are icy - my prayers gmckly emanated as I seemed to be headed to crash the car in front! Then suddenly the roadway was bare. my brakes took hold and my car stopped about six feet from the stopped car. A quick look into the rear view mirror. Oh no! Behind the two cars are sliding sideways down the lane towards me. I put my foot on the brake. It's better they crash me and not push me into the car ahead. I pray some more. hold my breath - and then both cars must have reached the bare road and stopped. My heart rate slowed - and I issued a quick thanks to the Supreme Being. Then another look in the rear view mirror and horror came to me again. A large van was now sliding sideways behind the two cars. My foot hit the brake again. I saw the van crash into the two cars and all of them began to head for the rear of my car! I prayed a lot more! Suddenly. the whole mass of vehicles behind me stopped .. within a foot of my car. I was saved! I started to turn into the middle lane of the Partway . . and to my surprise a motorist slowed and waved me out to the lane. I switched into the middle lane, curious now why all these cars had stopped in the outside lane. About six cars further along two cars were stopped and their drivers casually talking at the side of the road. There was no ob- vious damage. Another loo feet and there were two more drivers stopped and casually chatting beside their cars. I kept on my journey to the Royal York Hotel, shaken by the thought that I could have been killed easily if the cars behind had squashed my car into the ones in front. I rejoic- ed at the answer to my prayers. ............................ $3,000 Community Action Fund Grant Ontario's Minister Responsible for Disabled Persons, Remo Mancini, and Minister of Skills Development and Scarborough North MPP, Alvin Curling have announced a $3,000 Community Action Fund grant to the Scarborough Iron Butterflies Parents' Association.

Jan. 20, 19M THE NEWS/POST Page S p o For Bendale Acres Construction is well under way for the new $2.4 million renovation and ex- pansion of the Bendale Acres Home for the Aged in Scarborough. The 32 -bed Special Care Unit will pro- vide care for cognitively impaired, but independent- ly mobile residents in- cluding those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Restless pacing is one of the disease's most widely known characteristics. Research has shown that sufferers of Alzheimer's, who walk sometimes as much as 8 km. daily, prefer corridors rather than large open spaces. To meet this need, the ar- chitects, specialists in trey -oriented health care facilities, have organized the new ground -level wing to create a figure-eight pro- menade that includes a fenced outdoor pathway, accessible year-round. A small resting place next to the TV Lounge provides a place for residents to pause during their walks. "The main Lounge faces busy Lawrence Avenue rather than the quiet park side," states Mathers & Haldenby Partner Andrew Mathers, "because our studies show that older peo- ple like to be in the centre Court Decision For Christensen by Gav Abbate across lanes, went over a Scarborough Alderman medium, had slurred Kurt Christensen will find speech and was "close to out next Wednesday the falling down drunk". outcome of his trial on Christensen has testified charges of impaired driv- in his own defence that his ing and refusal to provide a erratic behaviour that ear - breath sample. ly morning was due to a Christensen is due to ap- severe headache and the pear in provincial court on Jan. 27 for the final day of his trial which was put over from November.

Jan. 20. 1988 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE 1: There's no question that Neil Simon is a funny playwright and there can be no question that Biloxi Blues currently playing at the Royal Alex is a funny play. Yet, your writer couldn't really warm to it or fully enjoy its inherent laughter. Biloxi Blues is the middle part of Mr. Simon's biographical trilogy. (The first is Brighton Beach Memoirs and the third is Broadway Bound coming to the R.A. in May.) In it, young Eugene Jerome is in the army - the U.S. Army of WW II - and away from dome for the first time. Our problem lies with the sur- round of the play. We cannot abide the U.S. Military's concept of train- ing and discipline. Lord knows the British way is brutal enough but it at least can instill a man with a sense of dignity and worth. To be willing to die for a cause, a man must be filled with a sense of purpose not robbed of self esteem as seems to be the American way. The early barrack scenes in Biloxi Blues in which a neanderthal sergeant sup- posedly whips the men into battle readiness are. in our view. close to being sadistic rather than tunny. The only thing that makes them palatable is that which one can only describe as an appreciation of the Hebraic quality of acceptance. In that regard Mr. Simon might well pro- ve to be the spiritual heir of Sholem Aleichem. That said, let it be on record that Biloxi Blues can be enjoyed by those who appreciate fine writing and character delineation. Taking nothing away from the performers, a Neil Simon play virtually plays itself. In the central role of Eugene, Mitchell Whitfield nicely evokes memories of just how innocent were many of the young men of WW 11. Trained to be killers. many, like Eugene. had yet to have their first coitus. How touching it is to contrast Eugene's first and only experience with a doxy and his pure love for the virginal Daisy. And. how- refreshing compared to the brutalities of bar- racks life. As his fellow Jew in bar- racks. Mark Krause might well be right out of the aforementioned Sholem Aleichem. Bullied and despised by most of his bar- racks comrades, including Eugene A-hn r Bards hie:: Around and About . -- Your Dining & Entertainment Guide with a budding writer's eye, he remains intellec- tual and quiescent. In later years his detached attitude would come to be called cool. It's another well written role and Mr. Krause wisely stays, or has been directed to stay, within Mr. Simon's character parameters. As the sergeant, Leon Pownall looks like Pat O'Brien, seems to sound like Pat O'Brien but acts like Bette Davis in reverse .drag. Blame the role or blame the direction but don't blame Mr. Pownall who is, we know, a fine ac- tor. The balance of the cast is well handled by Director Brian Rintoul. Cliff Saunders is the requisite street smart Selfridge to Hugh Thompson's tough semi -moron R'ykoski. rather like Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall of the old Dead End Kids. Jennifer Dean is proper- ly luscious as the doxy and Louise Cranfield is proper - Scarborough Animal Centre In 1987, more than 1.600 people opened their homes and hearts to adopt pets from the Scarborough Animal Centre.

BILL WATT'S WORLDS Continued frim Pape 6 course, the soul is not dead but the title is eye catching and one cannot fault Mr. Starrett for wanting to get across his message. The sub -title is equally as catching; From Descartes to the Computer. What Mr. Barrett has done is to take the concept of self and present the arguments of New Age thinkers for and against the existence of something that cannot be measured, only experienced. He has done so, moreover, in a way that is scholarly but not dull and most certainly not pedan- tic. Now, one does not sug- gest that the book should be considered as a primer; it is intended for those with a bent for philosophy. it is however, a virtual must for all of us who have pondered the mystery of and reason for existence. We are not ashamed to describe this as a magnifi- cent book. IN THE CLUBS: The Kingston Trio con - HOME RENOVATIONS Kitchens, bathrooms. tiling, cedar decks. etc. Free estimates. Design ideas.
