P.T. A. The Wild Bull of the Pampas was Luis Angel Firpo, a 6'3 200 pound boxer from Argentina. His wild hair, bobb- ing head and furious fighting style led writer Damon Ru- nyon to give him his nickname. Both he and his nickname are remembered as a result of his September 14,1923 battle with the Manassa Mauler, Jack Dempsey. The bout lasted only two rounds but those two rounds were a real slugfest. Dempsey had been downed twice, while Firpo had been leveled by the Mauler six times. Firpo fought like a wild and maimed bull but was brought to the mat for the seventh and final time by Dempsey in the 57th second of round two. Q. Is there more caffeine in coffee or in tea? P.R. A. A pound of tea contains a little over 200 grains of caf- feine. Steeping the tea for five minutes extracts only three- quarters of the caffeine and, since there are 200 cups of tea in a pound, a properly brewed cup of tea will contain less than a grain of caffeine. A pound of coffee contains less caffeine than a pound of tea but because the total extraction of caffeine during brew- ing is nearly complete and because a pound of coffee prepares only 40 cups - the total amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee is 1-1.2 to 1-3! 4 grains, considerably more than in a cup of tea. o� lG WS Kion Rd., Unit 5 Picks nngsq,Ont.

Ajax is one of 79 Ontario municipalities receiving allocations for the produc- tion of 6,900 non-profit housing units for 1968. Since 1966, when Ontario began administering the program, more than 13,500 units have been committed across the province, for a total of almost 20,500 units by the end of 1988.

Feb. is, ism Opinion a page for expression for you and us Sunday Shopping by Bob Watson Well North York Mayor Mel Lastman has failed to con- vince his council members to back him on a pfebescite to find out what the majority of people in his city would like for a Stutday- The group strongly opposing Stay shopping has managed to persuade a number of council members not to vote with the mayor. Of course, as Mayor I astman points out, how do we know what the majority of citizens want if they don't have a chance to express themselves. In our country the quiet ma- jority never seems to rise and vent its feelings - it is always the very vocal minority which gets its way with politicians. And speaking of politicians we believe that Ontario Premier David Peterson is losing his public reputation by constantly refusing to make decisions such as Sunday shop- ping. With large chain stares on the verge of being open Sunday, the premier wants every little municipality in On- tario to decide on the issue which certainly doesn't fit most chain stores. Leadership is in short supply in our province and country these days with those elected relying on polls and opinions which ensues their re-election rather than what is best for the community. We feel that Sunday should be a day of rest. What do you think? Why not send in your opinion. To save time just clip out this editorial and mark ••yes'. or "no" to Sunday sbopp- ing.

Restructuring Metro Dear Sir: The importance of proposed legislation deah with the restructuring of Metropiitan Toronto Camcil should riot go umrioticed by the people of Metro. Unfortunately. since the Government's proposals would take effect for the Municipal Elections in November of this year, very little time has beat idt for thoughtful delibera- tion_ The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario believes that every citizen of Metro has the right to understand fully and has time to respond to legislation which will have far- reaching implications for their community. For this reason, our party was successful in forcing the Bill to a Standing Committee of the I owstatuae, where we will move amendments calling for: 1. The extension of the date of implementation of the Bill from 1984 to 1991 so that reform may be carried out within a reasonable time frame. 2. The establishment of an independent dectoral carom. sion, as was the case federally and provincially. in deter- . . wardbo ndary Changes. 3. The election of the Metro Chairman in an at -large com- petition across Metro. 4. Metro Councillors should be elected to jointly serve the area in their local municipality and Metro Council, as is now the case in the City of Tonto. This would serve to reinforce the crucial link between local and Metro Councils. The principle of the reform of Metro Toronto government is not in dispute. The way in which that reform is im- plemented is cause for concern. I urge interested in- dividuals to make their views known to the Chit of the General Government Committee at Queen's Park which will bold hearings during the first week d February. It is one important step in making sure the right thing is done for the people at Metro Toronto. The formation of the seventh largest government in Canada shouild proceed in a responsible and responsive mariner. Yours truly, W. Donald Cohssens M.P.P. Markham House Prices Moderate Hose price increases have moderated in recent months in most major Canadian centres, accarding to a survey released by Royal LePage. ..Although Prices have con- tinued to rise in most centres since last Fall," says Ozzie Jurodx, President, Royal LePage Residential Real Estate Services, "the rats of increase has slowed considerably compared to earlier in the year... However, based on strong market activity in the first half of 1987, house prices in many areas are now considerably higher than they were a year ago. Have higher house prices forced first-time buyers out of the market? Not according to Royal LePage statistics. -.

Off With His Head! b WeWbow Witty St. George was coni, he had a fire breathing dragon coo- stantly on his tail, yet be found the courage and strength to slay the dragon with the sward of truth. And so it is with our dragon, a dragon that preys on the weak, a dragon that destroys the foundation of man. It is time we took up our sword, the sward of truth, and lopped off this dragon's head with one fell swoop! I speak of the Supreme Court decision to allow Abortions. The decision to allow abortions now unveils the truth cat least for a short time until it finds another bush to hide behind.) No longer will equality, and the legal rights of a woman to control her body, interfere with the truth! Let is focus on the dragon: A nurse, whose position was to aid doctors with new born, shared an experience with me that shook my perception of life. She was casually handed a live pr"e`matuvrdy born baby weighing only ounces, in an ice-cold stainless steel kidney -boon used to catch vomit, and told to " dispose of it". "It" was to die hours later. but still the nurse comforted the child. She laid him on a bed of cotton swabs, and wrapped him with towels to keep his tiny booty warm. The babe moved, and squirmed. The tiny chest heaved with breath. She comforted him in his moment of death_ The dragon is the misconceived notion that the foetus is not a Child. A Toronto channel televised coverage of the actual celebration in front of the abortion clinic, and there for all viewers to see, was a person holding a sign that read: ..Abort God"! The laws of this country are bused on the laws of God, and the pursuit of these laws is what has given this planet some kind of or Therefore, to abort God is to Abort Cider and Freedom as we know it and love! Many do not hold Jesus Christ as the Son of God, but few hesitate when He is proclaimed to be a gentle, loving and forgiving person. Jesus said. " .. as you did it to one of the least of these my bretheren, you did it to me." The meaning is clear, though each is free to interpret this anyway they Choose, the result is the same. Abort God? Abort God indeed! Do you Goose to Abort God, and to adopt anarchy? To throw out Order? By the Living God! please dime .. but Choose to uplhold order and justice, and choose not to Abort God! Indeed, choose to fight .. but choose not to fight ourselves, for the dragon will Choose also, and it will choose to grow within us. Instead Choose to fight the dragon. It is time to take up the sword. . and time to slay the dragon! Choose wisely! Woodbine Willy c / o 25 McCowan Rd. Scarborough, Ont.

The public is going to have a chance to comment an the new ward boun- daries at a special council meeting an Feb. 22 at 7:30 p.m. The six Metro wards car - respond to the number of seats Scarborough has been allocated by the pro- vincial government's plans to have direct election to Metro Council. Scarborough presently has seven seats on Metro but will lose one because the number of seats on Metro is being cut to 34 - 28 politicians who sit only on Metro Cauncil plus the six area mayors who sit on both. The new Metro ward 1 will consist of Scarborough wards 1, 2 and 7; Metro ward 2 is wards 3 and 10 combined; Metro ward 3 is made up of wards 4, 5 and 6; Metro ward 4 consists of wards 8 and 9; Metro ward 5 is wards I1 and 12 and Metro ward 6 is wands 1.3 and 14. This plan has received mixed reviews. While it was approved by commit- tee basically because it does not touch the 14 local wards, it has been criticiz- ed because it makes some wards significantly larger in population size than others. The new ward 3 (wards 4, 5 and 6), for in- stance, would have a population of 92,000 while the new ward 2 ( wards 3 and 10) would only have 61,500. Controller Bill Belfon- taine and Alderman Doug Mahood have both propos- ed schemes which would distribute population on a more equitable basis but would mean some changes to existing ward boun- daries. .'If we're going to do this, we should do it properly. ��14 It's not fair to have some wards with only 62,000 and others with 92.000,..

In commenting on the transportation of dangerous goods within Metro, The Board of Trade believes there should be no unnecessary restrictions on the use of railway facilities. The board says the railways already have strong economic incentives to maintain safe operations and that they should be err oouraged to focus on im- proving safety features. As well. the board believes that, before an alternate route is considered, the proposed solution must not have the effect of simply transferring the risks from one area to another. Comment m Impact of Free Trade w Metro Toronto. The Board of Trade agrees with the generally positive assessment made by the Metro Toronto Economic Development Division regarding the potential impact of free trade an the local economy. The board strongly recom- mends that Metro Council review the Economic Development Division's study, as well as take ac- count of the concerns of less prosperous regions of Canada. before taking a position on the trade agree- ment. The board expressed its interest in appearing before the Economic Development and Planning Committee and in par- ticipating in any future public forums on free trade. Comment on Market Yalu Reassessment of Metro Toronto. The Board of Trade, which supports Metro -wide market value reassess- ment, urged the provincial government to release the Impact Study based on 1984 market vanes to further stimulate public discussion of municipal tax reform. The board believes that once the public is aware that the majority of proper- ties will benefit, Metro Toronto Council will be more inclined to support tax reform when it comes up for a decision in March, 1988.

"Tbey're not growing any more land," we so often bear, but there may be land we have that we are not using. All three levels of government - municipal, provincial and Canadians - own large tracts of land in and near Metro, now mused and potentially useful for housing. Examples of this kind of land include the property earmarked for the propos- ed Scarborough Expressway, the land expropriated by On- tario for a Pickering airport, the land around the bead of- fice of the Central Mortgage and housing Corporation. I have therefore urged that an inventory of all lands own- ed by governments be compiled. Municipal, provincial and Canadian authorities should also confer an the best ways of freeing some of these lands up for housing. Seat Belt Use on the Increase Vehicle seat belt use across Canada increased by 10.8% in 1907 to a record 74%. Last year was the first time all pro. vinces have enforced mandatory seat belt use, Alberta and Prince Edward Island being the last two proviooes to past seat belt laws. Accordingly, leading the seat belt use increase was Alberta's 46.5, improvement over the 1906 provincial total. Ontario's use rate increased marginally by 1.7% to 67.6%, but over the last seven years, seat belt use has increased 23.9%. Ontario's rural drivers have a hill 7 percentage points greater not belt usage than urban drivers. This rural; ur- ban differential is greater than Ontario only in the Maritime Provinces and Manitoba.

Hashish and hash oil are more powerful arms of marijuana - Marijuana is usually smoked in cigarettes called "joints" in pipes or in water pipes called "bongs". The effects of the drug differ for different people, often depending on the mood they are in or their expectations of the ef- fects. Almost immediately after smoking the dru& most people experience a euphoric feeling, similar to being mildly drunk. Some of the more noticeable physical effects include a reddening of the eyes, a more rapid heart beat and often an increase in ap petite. Noticeable mental ef- fects inch de an altered sense of time and difficulty in concentrating. Short term memory is affected. A person on marijuana may forget what happened a few minutes or even seconds after it happened. Psychomotor function is af- fected, delaying reaction time. In the early 1970s, very little research was available an the biological effects of marijuana. To. day there is growing scien- tific evidence that man- jimina use may cause lower levels of mak and female bormooes, and a tem- porary loss of fertility for both men and women. Marijuana smoke can be much more harmful to the imp than tobacco smoke. A marijuana user win in - bale more deeply and hold the smoke longer in the lungs. Increased irritation and damage result. The psychological effects of regular marijuana use are just as serious a can - ca as the biological of fects. Studies show that regular marijuana users often experience apathy, lack of motivation and un- paired judgement. The dromic user, however, is usually unaware of any change of personality.

Rev. Sanguin spoke of Job's suffering and the pain that comes to all human creatures in life. He suggested that as a com- munity of faith, there is no difference in the quality or quantity of our pain but iL the hope that comes from God.

Not that Sir Noel was anti -church but it is in- disputable that he was the quintessential sophisticate and to present him in an old church must surely evoke a chuckle from beyond the grave. One suspects, too, that Sir Noel might curl his lip in good natured scorn at the sight of cold Toronto - marts clad in mackinaws and tweeds applauding his evocation of a more gracious time. (Migawd, doesn't anyone in Toronto dress anymore? ! ) Anywise, Noel Coward, A Portrait presented at the Bathurst Street Theatre does both its inspiration fond the show's creator pro- ud. Peter Pringle is the writer and star of this one man event and it is just a delight to see and hear him. No one supposes that we shall ever see someone like Noel Coward again; so- meone who was talented in so many areas of the per- forming arts. Even his most fervent admirers, however, will concede that he may couldn't sing well and was slightly more than a good journeyman pianist. Peter Pringle, however, is a beautiful singer and a pianist of a stature that ap- proaches brilliance. Both these talents give a dimen- sion of depth to Sir Noel's songs that virtually breathes new life into them. Gone is the sometimes AroundandAbout Your Dining &Entertainment Guide brittle quality - while never sacrificing intentional humour; in its place there is a new affection and even, tenderness. Twelve of his best songs are played and sung by Mr. Pringle and each one becomes a polish- ed gem. London Pride takes on a patina of tough tenderness; in a Bar on the Piccola Marina probes the suppres- sion of a high spirited woman free at last to enjoy life; Matelot becomes quite possibly the loveliest of love songs ever written . .

The secrets of these love potions are revealed during Natural Aphrodisiacs, a special presentation at the Kor- tright Centre for C werva- tion, on Sun. Feb. 14, at 2 p.m. For example, the root of the trillium, the floral emblem of Ontario, is a powerful aphrodisiac. The folklore associated with this plant arose several centuries ago with the native Indians, and was passed on to the European sem. Much of the folklore about bow to attract or repel lovers has been pass- ed down to us from ancient mythology. For example, when Venus lost her lover, she threw herself onto a field of lettuce. Ever since, lettuce has been associated with dispelling lust, and has been considered a good way to get rid of a lover - which could be bad news for Cana- dians. The Kortright Centre is open daily, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is located on Pine Valley Dr., south of Major Mackenzie Dr., west of ifgon ray 400 and Canada's Wonderland.

Ministry of Municipal Affairs Ontario John Eakins, Minister Employment and immigration has once again latncmed its Career Oriented Summer Employ- ment Program (COSEP) for 1988. COSEP is a program whereby the depart- ments of the Federal Government offer post- secondary students an opportunity to obtain summer employment in positions related to their course of study. The program provides the op- portunity for students to gain some wort ex- perience in their chosen academic field. COSEP is a national program, operating in all provinces and in both territories. Who is eligible? In order to be eligible for the program students must be registered full-time at a recognized post -secondary institute and must be planning to return to school full-time in the next academic year. The program is also extend- ed to those students who must article or intern as part of their degree requirements. COSEP is a very popular program for students; usually 50,000 applications are submit- ted by students across Canada. I want to point out that completing an application form does not guarantee employment, but it does add your name to the COSEP inventory. Each year there are about 5,000 jobs available through the various departments and agencies. The positons are filled by a screening process which are refer- red from the established COSEP inventory. Application forms are now available to all in- terested students. Anyone wishing to apply should do so as soon as possible as the deadline date for applying is Feb. 29, 1988. The applica- tions can be picked up at Canada Employment Centres, or at my Constituency Office located at 52 Church St. S., Ajax, Ontario.
