If this represents Mr. Wilson's way of making life easier for small business and heavier on big business, he is sadly :informed. Why hit every business via the telephone com- pany when a corporations tax is much fairer? The same ap- plies to individuals. It may sound great politically to reduce the income tax on low income folks, but then to raise the sales taxes on every product and service low income folks pay is double talk and harder on them as well. The fairest tax is income tax - the worst tax is sales tax because it hits everyone whether you have the motley to pay or not. So far Finance Minister Wilson's new taxes are, in our opinion, for the birds' Something Sobering OV AIM N. Silk" Csaad' Fedaration of ladapoadaat Busisan Economically speaking, these are stn• exciting time%. Wevr got tax reform, free trade, regional de vicipirment, deregu- lation, and pri%atiration. In fact, the govrrnrncnt's main problem in the upcoming fed- eral budget will be trying to pri- oritize its 1968 objectives from such a jam-packed list of initia- tives on the rational agenda. Exciting, yes, but unfor- tunateh with such a heavy help- ing on the "eminent'- plate, one of this country's greatest liabilities isn't being talked about stn often anvrnore— that being, of course, the enor- mous S -1(l -billion► federal deficit. Our national debt and the nerd for greater government spending restraint, it seems, just can't cornpctc with some of the higher profile issues on our doorstep. Take, for example. the storms_ discussion% oscr free trade. This initiatisc :ontinuc*, to dominate the dockets in fed- eral and prosrncial Iciaistatures as v►cll as the editorial pages of maw newspapers and maga- tincs right across the country. And the growing specula- tion over a fall election isn't likei% to help shift current polit- ical priorities. In fact, all three parties seem more than willing to stake their political survival on these more contmyersial issues rather than ta:klinv a bare -bones issue w: h as the national debt. ncc ever-present Sat -billion deficit can he placed in cold storage and brought out during less tumultuous times. Or so the mc�,sage seems to be. In the meantime, however, the cost of financing the national debt continues to encroach heavily on the Cana- dian tax dollar. Fach year that Ottawa is faced with a dcf icit of this size (now roughly equal to 51,000 per Canadian). it is responsible for paying the interest to service the accumu- lated debt which now runs into the hundreds of billions of dol- lar. The interest charges for I%- alone will translate into approximately S1,500 per taxpayer. In the Unked States, however, where free trade is basically a non -issue and tax reform iy long -since complete, its Slss- billion national deficit is the subject of intense political debate despite the fact that the American debt represents roughly half the proportioraw burden that we face hat at " , r - Sonic bu*incss organizations such as the 80,000 -member Canadian Federation of Inde- pendent Business say the need for government restraint win likely becomir even more impor- tant as wr head towards 1989 and the possibility of another recession. 1n its pre -budget sub- mission to Finance Minister Michael H ilsori last faecember. CFIB officials said: "A primary motivator for continued government restraint should he to maintain a margin of fiscal ncsihility in the event uta tull-blown recession. The 1981 recession was deep but relatively short-lived. A future recession is like!, to be longer and would, therefore, require significant revenues to maintain a social 'salety net'. Further action towareis restraint would dramatically increase the govcrnmcnt's ability to respond to the worst impacts of another national rcccssion." It's not an easy mcssagc to ger across. Spending restraint, remember, isn't all that eliciting. Ii may not even earn a govern- ment too many short-term political points. But in the long - run am government that can claim sictory on the federal deficit will be paying back its electorate in the truest sense of the word. tibu might even say they owe it to us. news [post Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited.

The full capital cost of Gabriel Dumont Non -Profit Horses, about $6 million. is being met with a 35 -year loan from Canada Life Mortgage Services. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation i CMHC) has guaranteed this loan under the terms of the National Housing Act (NHA ). CMHC will provide an annual operating subsidy of $447.867. plus an additional $350,507 urban native assistance for 1987. As can be seen by these figures these Canadians will benefit greatly frau the federal taxes paid by all Cana- dians. Who Looks After Consumers In A Strike? According to Reg Stackhouse, M.P. Scarborough West, government action is needed to protect the rights of con- sumers during strikes and lock -outs. "We have laws that loon after management and labour, but who looks out for the consumers?" Stackhouse asked the House of Connmhons. "Although the Eighties have had fewer work stoppages than the Seventies had, many of them have directly affected large numbers," he continued, recalling strikes by the police force at Saint Jean, N.B., school teachers in Metro Toronto, postal Workers across Canada, and grain terminal wales at Prince Rupert. He urged the Canadian government to confer with representatives of the provinces, unions and management on establishing alternatives to Work stoppages. "The strike is out of date," Stackhouse asserted. "If there is a better way of meeting labour's just demands, why does anyone want to preserve it?" He urged that Canada ex- amine the possibility of "labour courts" and other methods of arbitration. "Reasoning together - at the bargaining table or in arbitration - is better than conflict."

The 32.500 annual award, sponsored by Critikon. a Johnson & Johnson Company. is given to the author of the best article submitted to the Canadian Critical Care Nursing Journal. Patricia's article "Self -Scheduling in the C.C.U." ap- peared in the Nm ember 1906 issue of the quarterly magazine and was selected among 40 articles submitted by practicing Canadian reuses from Juin 1986 to September MOM The article is the first to be published on self - scheduling in Canada. She currently acts as a consultant to other hospitals seeking to implement the system. Frozen Door Locks Don't be left out in the cold because of a frozen door lock this winter, says the Canadian Automobile Association. Motorists can prepare against this frustrating situation by using a graphite based lock lubricant. If getting the car washed when the temperatures plunge. place masking tape or adhesive tape over the keyhole. Also take the precaution of drying the weather stripping around the doors and trunk frames after a car wash. A fromen lock can be thawed by squirting de-icer into the lock. Another trick, says CAA Toronto is to insert a key heated by a match or lighter. To avoid burning yourself, wear gloves or bold the key with pliers. Animal Aid Week The week of Jan. 24th to 31st, has been proclaimed "Animal Aid Week" in Scarborough and a number of other communities. Heightened public awareness of the degree and scope of animal abuse and misuse is the objective. Several exciting Projects have been planned, chid arriting then being the launching of a recording of two new special- ly ply written and performed songs by well known entertainer Dinah Christie. "Let The Rest Live" and "Every Kind Of Life" demonstrate Dinah's deep concern for animal welfare. This sensitive recording ng will be available for purchase at all 'Sam The Record Man' outlets and, locally, at both The Scarborough Shelter /Clinic, 751 Kennedy Rd. and the new Thrift Shop at 2232 Kingston Road.

CentenniaMuge United Church sy Jdie webs This Sunday we enjoyed the ministry of Bill Mayoras who was substituting for Rev. Sanguin who is on a study week. Bill is a seminary student who has agreed to do his year of associate ministry at Centennial Rouge. Mr. Mayoras discussed the calling of the disciples. and the instantaneous response Jesus met. But more important than the way in which the disciples responded, was the choice itself. Jesus did not choose the rich and famous, nor did He surround Himself with the powerful. Rather. He chose the ordinary man. So it is with us, as we are call- ed to God's work. We are not chosen for our present talent, for it may be minimal. Instead we are called to what we might become• by the Grace of God. Feb. 7th will be a service wekaming new members. Following the service will be the annual meeting. At the conclusion of all this business, we will be celebrating with a pot luck lunch. Our choir is preparing an Faster Cantata for the end of March.

Depending on the day and location of the sampling, between 17 and 53 chemicals were detected. None of these exceeded ministry standards, criteria, or guidelines, and in general, the air quality was found to be typical of an urban environment. Samples taken at landfill gas vents in May 1986 in- dicated that carbon monox- ide and nitrogen oxides were higher than typical urban air. The landfall site received municipal waste from the Township of Scarborough until 1959. The site was the subject of a detailed in- vestigation in 1985 during the construction of a storm sewer to serve a new shop- ping plaza. A gas collection and detection system was installed. /1� J G.

Citi of Scarborough Hazardous Waste by Gay Abbate Scarborough's first household hazardous waste day collection was a huge but costly success.

It is extremely easy for the Do-It- Yourselfer to install, the covering is resistant to every -day wear, and it makes cleaning up a breeze.

Jan. 27, 1988 Speaking To You i Scott Fennell MI. P. Ontario Riding Attention all students, the challenge is on and ready to be taken. The challenge I am referring to is Challenge 'B8, the Federal Government's student summer employment pro- gram. Youth Minister Jean Charest announced last week that the Government of Canada has committed $180 million for Challenge '88, which includes a $4 million increase to the highly successful Work Orientation Workshops (WOW) component. Through its various components. Challenge '88 en- courages all employers to get involved to provide students with a variety of different work experiences to choose from. Challenge '88 also provides students who have left school early with guidance and hands-on experience to help them to develop their future education and employment plans. Last year. more that 88.000 jobs were created through the overall Challenge '87 program. The unemployment rate also was reduced to 11.9%. the lowest ever since 1961.

The pyralis firefly (Photinus pyralis) is the most familiar North American species. It can be seen floating over meadows and lawns on summer evenings in the eastern United States and Canada. Not all fireflies give off light as adults. The adults of most North American species found west of the Rocky Mountains do not produce light, for example. But the larvae of all species produce light and are often called glowworms. Fireflies lay their eggs in moist places near the ground. The eggs hatch into flightless larvae which take two years to develop. During this time they feed on snails, earthworms and other insect larvae, killing their prey by injecting them with poison. After a brief pupal stage, during which they change into adults, fireflies live for 5 to 30 days. Adult fireflies feed on flower nectar or eat nothing. Q. What is spelunking'. B.L. A. Spelunking is the hobby of exploring and studying caves. Persons who engage in this hobby are known as spelunkers. Speleology is the scientific study or exploration of caves. These scientists are called speleos (short for speleologist) or cavers. A Message to Grain ]Farmers SpecialCanadian Grains Program -1987 Extension.

Northern Telecom, the world's 4th largest manufacturer of electronic components, spends ap- proximately f7 million each year on research and development. Their cor- porate philosophy is that Canada's future depends on its ability to compete in world markets. They believe Canada's greatest human resource is brain power. To that end, Northern Telecom has instituted a program of awards for in- novative teachers, par- ticularly in the technical, engineering and com- munications fields. Bruce .Bather explained the six day program in which par- ticipants from across the country were addressed by a variety of high calibre speakers and visited a number of facilities such as a fibre optics lab and a robotics plant. Northern Telecom believes young people must be taught the basics, as well as the scientific, technological and economic literacies in order that they may assure the economic future of Canada. After Bruce Mather's informative Presentation, Chairman Sandra Lawson con- gratulated him on being the only supervisory officer in the country to be invited to participate in this signifi- cant growth experience. Total Team Approach The board was advised of the upcoming public rela- tions presentation by Dr. Bill Banach, courtesy of OPSTF. On the evening of Feb. 11, Dr. Banach will address approximately 100 Durham staff at G.L. Roberts CVI in Oshawa. All staff groups and the board will be represented. The following day, Dr. Banach will work with 20 of these staff to develop a "Total Team Approach" to public relations in Durham. Dr. Banach is invited annually to make presentations to three or four Ontario boards chosen by the OPSTF Public Relations Committee. Bill Watt' s AT THE OPERA: In Act III of The Merry Widow there is an amusing contretemps when the Pontevedrian ambassador attempts to talk with the Maitre d'Hotel but falters because he cannot speak French. As the Maitre d' makes his exit he remarks "Where are the surtitles when you need them?" He might well have been echo- ing the thoughts of most of the audience. This Canadian Opera Company production at The O'Keefe is sung in English, a language that does not lend itself easily to a musical setting of conse- quence. To be as kind as possible let us say only that many, perhaps most, of the audience could not make out the words in any of the songs and frequently could not comprehend many of the spoken words. Years ago one might have been inclined to fault The O'Keefe itself and that cavernous stage but that doesn't wash anymore since the installation of its state of the art sound system. It's true that many of the voices were thin. Leigh Munro in the title role might well have been giv- ing an afternoon recital and Richard Stilwell as Count Danilo seemed to be experiencing a throat pro- blem. The soprano. baritone matching might well have been a con- tretemps itself. Soprano Crtsten Gregory as Valen- cienne and tenor Gregory Kunde, as her loveseemedCamille, seemed to fare better but even so, were difficult to understand at times. Only reliable Mezzo- soprano Janet Stubbs as Zo:o the gnsette and Scott Robertson. who isn't even listed as a singer, in the comic role of Njegus. seemed to be singing to the potential of the roles. Still, even thin vases should be articulate so voice quality cannot be the answer to the seeming pro blem. Our conclusion is simply that The Merry Widow should be sting only in its original German. with or without the ex- cellent C.O.C. surtitles. That said, let us address ourself to the overall pro- duction. Well friends, it's simply sumptuous. The costumes and set designs are striking and the or- chestra superb. On reflec- tion it's difficult to deter- mine if it might have been contributing to the pro- blems of the voices. It doesn't really matter though; the lilting Lehar melodies are always a joy and one is content simply to relax and let the glorious sounds of the master wash over one in waves. The third act is arguably the best of the three and the highlight of it is surely the ballet divertissement per- formed by former National Ballet soloists Luc Amtot and Vanessa Harwood. En- chanting! By all means attend The Merry Widow. We warrant You'll enjoy but, we sug- gest, not perhaps as much as should be possible. Last night we attended the C.O.C.'s production of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Review will follow shortly. IN PRINT: On a recent short trip to Miami we indulged ourself by re -reading Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Now, we know what You're thinking; howinell can anyone, even a speed reader, finish The Decline on a short holiday? Ob - Worlds viously we had some ad- vantages. The first is that we had read it before. The second is the subject of this little piece. Fawcett Premier have published an abridged edi- tion. Ordinarily one should avoid abridgements like the plague but not this one. Editor Moses Hadas was a historian of some renown himself and what he did in this work was delete some of the long detailed chapters that are of in- terest principally to scholars; rather like the lineages in the Holy Bible. In no way has he diminished Gibbon's work. In every way he has made it even more enjoyable. Gibbons completed his monumental task in 1787 (Hadas published his in 1964 ; the book is in its ump- teenth reprint and we don't know how we missed it) and yet the observations of a civilization's decline are still valued today. Indeed. all around us one can see the decay setting in. It will not happen in this writer's lifetime we believe but if enough people could read this wondrous wort and take it to heart it just might not happen at all. ON RECORD: We didn't spend all our time in Miami reading. One of our more pleasurable outings was a Happy Hous ramble over to the nearby Beacharboa Hotel where we were entertained by Steve Allison. Steve plays a fine guitar and has a strong, even mean way with songs. His lyrics are clear and his emotions up front. He gave us a 45 of two of his compositions which he recorded on the Margantavdie label. They are Dream and The Ville. Both fall pleasurably on the ear despite some rather less than perfect engineer- ing standards at the Grand Cutter studios in Lorain. Ohio. Anyway. we wanted to mention young Steve Allison because we have this gut feeling that we're going to hear more of him in the future. Steve Allison. Remember that name. IN CABARET: The first Classical Cabaret concert of '88 is scheduled for Sun. Feb. 7th at 3 p.m. in the George Ig- natieff Theatre. Artists to be presented are soprano Katherine Johnson and the husband and wife song and dance team of Scott Smith and Lesley Ballantyne. Lesley is presently appear- ing as one of the leads in 42nd Street at The Limelight. The guest Master of Ceremonies will be George Ignatieff, former Chancellor of the Universi- ty of Toronto and the gentleman after wham the theatre is named. He has had a long and distinguish- ed diplomatic career and is an eloquent spokesman for the cause of peace. Classical Cabaret is a fine way to spend a Sunday afternoon anytime of the year but particularly so in this dreadful dull period between the yuletide and Easter. We are often asked the location of the George Ig- natieff Theatre. It's at 15 Devonshire Place just south of Varsity Stadium. ON T.V. Just a brief reminder, if one is needed, that this is the weekend of the eighth annual Variety Club of On- tario Star Time Telethon on Global.

To celebrate the ar- rival of maple sap, and the making of maple syrup, the Metro Region Conservation Authority has three loca- tions featuring activities for the whole family. Black Creek Pioneer Village, at Jane St. and Steeles Ave. in North York, offers Marvellous Maple, on weekends, from Mar. 12 to 27. Black Creek is the re- creation of a typical 19th century rural Ontario village, and Marvellous Maple demonstrates the Variety Club's continuing program of assistance for Ontario's needy and disabl- ed children. The cause is a fine one and the entertain- ment value is top doUar. One supposes that's why once again we haven't been asked to tap dance. HKAR NOW: Peter Pringle opened last night at the Bathurst Street Theatre in his one man stow "Noel Coward. A Por- trait". We had to miss it because of a prior commit- ment to the opera but will catch up with it soon and pass along our review. Still, it's hard to see how the show can't be suc- cessful.

'1 tlpiN "M NEW!$1064T Pa�r1Sr Children's Breakfast` Clu''b'Addresse's Co'ncier'n's"' The Toronto Children's Breakfast Club has 25 loca- tions in Metro Toronto. Its philosophy is that "all children are entitled to a nutritious breakfast". The concept of the Breakfast Club came about in mid 1984 as a result of many discussions with residents living in the Falstaff Community of North York. The residents and agen- cies had identified pro- blems that specifically dealt with children of Falstaff. They included high truancy rate. frequent lateness to school and below average perfor- mance in the classroom. In addition, many of the single working parents of the community had jobs re- quiring them to leave their homes as early as 6 a.m., leaving sleeping children behind to -fend for themselves". It was thought that a "before school program" would address these con- cerns and the Breakfast Club was born. The club started with volunteers from Katimavik, a federally run program, and placement students from both the University of Waterloo and Ryerson's School of Social Work. The club initially operated only one morning a week, but soon was ex - to five days a week to accommodate its grow- ing demand. A nominal fee at 2.51 was charged. In 1985 the concept of the Breakfast Chub really took off with interest coming from all over the city. From the beginning resi- dent participation was essential. Residents were involved in ail components of the program including promotion, meal prepara- tion, serving and clean up. In addition, from its in- ception, the Breakfast Club has been a community bas- ed program largely depen- ding on support from local businesses Initially, it strictly -it: ated "from hand -to -m, h" basing menus and -als on what was availahi, Although Daily Food Bank and other food sources are utilized, the unavailability of perishables make the cons- tant contact with local businesses imperative. The objectives of the club are: to provide children with a nutritious breakfast, a good role model in terms of eating habits and nutri- tion, ensure they are dress - ,ed according to weather conditions, leave on time for school and:or are escorted to the school buses, provide them with appropriate stimulation prior to school, ensure that they leave with a positive outlook for the day, develop a sense of community and comradery, serve as a focal point for agencies to work together and to arouse support and in- volvement from the com- munity at large. Many new programs have started as a result of the breakfast club. They in- clude the following: Support Group for Mothers The club serves as a meeting place for mothers. Once the children leave for school. the opportunity is there for mothers to in- teract and socialize with their neighbours over a cup of coffee. Mothers from all cultures are able to share common difficulties with child rearing. Cooking (lasses As the result of the breakfast club many children, youthand adults have been interested in and snacks for themselves. Classes have been arraz*- World Veteran Games Opened By Sri Chinmoy The largest World Veteran Games in history took place in November in Melbourne Australia with an opening meditation given by Sri Chinmey, director of the Peace Meditation at the United Nations and of the Sri Chin- moy Marathon Team, an international running team well known in Scarborough during the past eight years for its many road races drawing sometimes over 300 runners in distances ranging from the 1 2 Marathon to the popular 5 km run. Last year Scarborough Parks do Recreation in- augurated a Sri Chinmoy Peace Mile in Milliken Park during the Interna- tional Year of Peace and this March the Sri Chinmoy Oneness -Home Peace Run, history's longest relay run, was generously endorsed by Mayor Gus Harris and met by Bill Belfattaine as the peace torch came through Scarborough - The World Veteran Gaines originated in Toron- to by Dan Farquharson, President of the World Veteran Athletes Associa- tion. This year, there were 4817 athletes registered to participate from 52 coun- tries around the world, in- cluding 61 athletes representing Canada, 43 men and 18 women. Canada has 6 prominent athletes who are expected to claim medals in several different events. Judith Kazdan, age 65, of North York was expected to place in the marathon, 10,000 in and 5,000 m races.

Food and Money Many mothers par- ticularly are interested, as a result of the club, in being a penny-wise consumer when it comes to buying food. The Milk Marketing Board has been approach- ed to provide training. Spotlight for the Different Agencies The Breakfast Club enables agencies to be seen in a less formal setting often establishing a bond and/or friendship not otherwise possible. This is often accomplished by the Celebrity Cook Program. The Toronto Children's Breakfast Club is presently seeking funds from a varie- ty of service agencies and organizations. Promotional packages have been sent out to every service agency in the city. In addition, presentations have been set up with the Egg Marketing Board, the Milk Marketing Board and the Ministry of Agriculture. The "card holder pro - gain" was established as another means to supple- ment the program. This program enables the many supporters of the Breakfast Club to make a small year- ly donation Monies donated are tax deductible and a receipt is issued 1f re- quested. Other projects are plann- ed including the making of a video and the sale of T-shirts with a logo.
