Recycling Is Essential
by Bob Watson
Time is passing by and our local governments do not
seem to be aware of the urgency required by all the citizens
and corporations of Metro Toronto and area. We refer to
our garbage which is mostly being buried in landfill sites.
We believe that it is time for everyone to be required to
sort their garbage into different piles for recycling.
Take organic garbage, for example. All those orange
peels, banana skins, egg shells, leaves and waste food
should be directed into the sub soil of our local agricultural
lands. This means deciding what land must be retained as
agricultural and what lands can have new subdivisions of
homes or factories.
Those of us who have experienced the joy of seeing
organic waste producing terrific vegetables and fruit in a
short three or four vears are keen to see this major recycl-
ing project undertaken at the earliest possible moment.
Many of us are taking waste newspapers to the city's
local recycling bins and ordinary paper to the paper bites
already but there are many other garbage possibilities
which must be investigated and started.
We urge our local councils to tackle this project im-
mediately as time has run out on the present wasteful
system of dumping into holes in the ground.
Beyond His Role
by Bob Watson
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who as the leader of
Canada, represents us Canadians in world affairs. For that
reason we find it very objectionable that the PM has sent a
telegram to Nielson Mandella in a South African prison on
the occasion of the prisoner's 70th birthday.
Why does the PM constantly interfere in South African af-
fairs when he says nothing about the 25,000 Cuban troops do-
ing wort for the Soviet Union in Angola. tion does he send
encouragement to the Afghan fighters who are struggling to
regain freedom in their country against forces backed by
the Soviet Union.
Perhaps the PM and his right arm, Joe Clark. have been
brainwashed by the members of the African National Con-
gress who have been given a place in Ottawa as if they
represented a country instead of a group of dissidents who
are backed by the KGB from the Soviet Union.
In our opinion it was very improper of Brian Mulroney to
send this telegram to Man fella w the South African W.

For the second year in a row, the cost of owning and

erble that of inflation, according to the Canadian Automobile
Association.

Reactor Retubing Award
Ontario Hydro has received an Outstanding Technical
Achievement Award for the retubing of two reactors at the
Pickering nuclear generating station- The Ontario Associa-
tion of Certified Engineering Technicians and
Technologists presented the award to Hydro in recognition
of the "outstanding achievements in resolving complex
technical problems" during the retubing of the two nucler
units.
Unit 1 at Pickering station began producing electricity
again last fall following replacement of the 390 tubes that
hold the uranium fuel. Unit 2 is scheduled to return to
operation later this year.
Chairman and President Robert Franklin accepted the
award, on behalf of all employees involved in the retubing
project, at a ceremony at the Pickering station last month.

I pcornised you a storN last week for your interesting
paper so here it is.
It's abouit a man I've known for many years as a long

who refuses to give up. He's now 85 years.
Up for a I mile walk before seven in the morning. then to
breakfast, then to his mnovations, probably more than two

Canadians because of the severe and unkind potent laws the
only country in the Western world so restrictive, indeed the
life of the inventor in Canada is pure terror.
There are or were few cars or makes that Seager hasn't
worked on and all this with a severe case of shingles.
Seager and his wife -75 years' feed the birds regularly and

Library Computer Network Completed
The $1.3 million Ontario Public Library Information Net-
work t OPLIN t linking 129 county and public libraries
throughout Ontario by computer is completed, Minister of
Culture and Communications Lily Oddie Munro said last
week at a reception at the Guelph Public library.
OPLiN enables public libraries to access the Utlas
database which contains more than 40 million titles for
inter -library book loans. Also, the system provides
librarians with a rapid means to verify and locate items
and to send electronic messages. The project took four
years to complete. Personnel at the Guelph Public library
were the last to be trained to use the system.

DAVID SOMERVILLE Workers
A recent decision of the
Supreme Court in the U.S. has
sent shockwaves through the
ranks of union leaders both there
and in Canada.
The decision said that
unionized workers can It be com-
pelled, through their forced cum
to support union politicking with
which they disagree. The decision
affects all those workers who are
required to pay dues but who
have chosen not to join unions as
members.
The cast was brought by 20
employees of the American
Telephone nit Telegraph Co. who
argued that their unions use of
forced dues for political purposes
violated U.S. federal law. The
Supreme Court agreed and ruled
that the forced union dues of
non-members cant be used for
non -collective bargaining ac-
tivhti s.
The ruling could restore Mr¢
sums of money to many
unionized American workers.

Attends World Conference
On Environment
The World Conference on the Changing Atmosphere,
which was held in Toronto last ween, is a key step in helping
humanity adapt to environmental change, says Pauline
Browes. M.P. Scarborough Centre and Parliamentary
Secretary to the Mmister of the Environment.
..This conference was the first of its kind," Browes said,
"and it will be a key step in developing international
agreements and strategies which will assist humanity in
adapting to environmental change.."
Over 300 international scientists attended the conference
to review a number of atmospheric issues. Foremost
among those issues was the "greenhouse effect" in which
air pollution leads to an intensification of the sun's rays
which increases global temperatures. Scientists predict
that the greenhouse effect could seriously change our
climate.
,.This conference was a result of initiatives taken by the
Canadian government in response to the call for action the
by World Commission on Environment and Development,"
Browes noted. The Chairman of the Commission,
Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Brundtland was in Toronto
for the conference.
.'The atmosphere represents our most common resource.
We must take action today to protect it for tomorrow,"
Browes said.

the title because he's been
doing the mayor's job for
years. But Controller Joyce
Trimmer, who's running
for mayor herself, says giv-
ing Morrish the title just
four months before
November's municipal
election is unfair because it
gives him an edge if he too
runs for mayor.
Alderman John Mackie
called the whole argurnent
"absolutely revolting" and
"a sleazy move". He told
council during the hour
long debate that it demean-
ed Morrish, Trimmer and
Mayor Gus Harris who
started it all by calling
Morrish deputy mayor.
Trimmer argued that the
title would make Morrish
the heir apparent to the
mayor's job in the eyes of
the public. She said council
has done without a deputy
mayor all these years and
does not need one for only
four months.
Trimmer criticized Har-
ris saying that there would
be no need for a deputy
mayor if he were doing the
job for which he was
elected and getting paid.
Harris said giving Mor-
rish the title was not an-
nointing him the next
mayor. He said he was just
spreading the work load
around.

Bill Watt's Worlds
IN THE CLUBS:
Time was when Toronto-
nians wanting a little glitzy
night life had to shuffle off
to Buffalo and the Town
Casino, Chez Ami or
McVan's to get it. Times
have changed. Buffalo is
going through a fallow spell
and Toronto is currently af-
fluent. The shows aren't in
Buffalo now, they're in
Toronto as witness Haigh
Voltage, the summer show
at the Imperial Room.
One thing that hasn't
changed though is the pro-
vincial attitude - Hell! call
it snotty - of some of the
local critics. They're at it
again with High Voltage,
damning it with faint
praise and suggesting that
it's something less than
Las Vegas.
Well, of course it is:
there's a world of dif-
ference between the
seating capacity of say.
Caesar's Palace and the
Imperial Room. But if High
Voltage is less than Las
Vegas it's most certainly
considerably more than
Buffalo and some of these
apple cheeked youngsters
wound do well to consider
that.
lt's not a cultural land-
mark and isn't supposed to
be. It's a fast paced stow
that features music and
dancing. a touch of magic,
some bare bosoms for the
men and some beefcake for
the ladies and the lavender
Wt.
The songs are tuneful
and melodic and include
New York. New York (as
accompaniment for a male
stripper). Slaughter on 10th
Avenue a personal
favourite of ours from
Rodgers and Hart's On
Your Toes), Look of Love
and something like twenty
or so others including
Michael Jackson's Bad.
It's a slick show and the
timing is impeccable.
Something else to keep in
mind is that it's good value
for the money. We're not
suggesting that it's inex-
pensive but a couple elec-
ting for the package deal
that includes dinner can
get away easily under a
Bill.
Oh yes, about those bare
breasts ( female) ; in at
least one number the bar-
ing is hardly worth the
trouble, unless one is study-
ing mosquito bites. That's
not necessarily our opi-
nion; that's what was
stated to us after the show
by a brace of admittedly
well endowed young ladies.
Ah, modern days.
ON SCREEN:
Though it's hard to
remember. Jack -Billy Bad
Ass -Nicholson used to have
a nice physique. He can't
act but he has a proclivity
toward the use of four let-
ter words that seems to ap-
peal to the hoi polloi.
Bruce Willis has a good.
natural looking physique.
No one knows yet whether
or not he can act but he
sloorasell can use street
words and he's currently
hot in the industry.
So, more or less by
default, audiences can now
endue Bruce Willis endur-
ing impossible physical
stresses in something titled
Die Hard. We suspect the
title might well prove pro-
phetic. This high blown

Willis is a New York

Los Angeles on Christmas
Eve to visit his estranged
family. His wife Bonnie
Bedelia ( looking more and
more like Bernadette

highly successful corporate
executive but this honest
N.Y.C. cop worries about
his backlog of cases and
cannot believe that her
work is important. Sheesh!
Anyway he visits her in

being held. W7rile he is

broken into by seeming ter-

they don't see Willis and it
becomes his mission to

were able to enjoy other
items on the excellent ex-
isting menu as prepared by
Signora D'Orazio, the
owner; manager, and what
an evening we enjoyed!
We say without reserva-
tion that the buschetta at
Carolyn's is the finest we
have ever tasted. Fact is,
one could make a fine light
meal of the excellent soup,
some bruschetta and wine.
But, why stop there when
there are so many other
delicious items for one's
delectation? The pastas
are uniformly superb and
the accompanying
vegetables always crisp
and coloruful (like the
selected ingredients in the
Carolyn's house salad).

Report from
Queen's Park
Hon. Ed Fulton
Minister d Transpabtion
MPP Scarborough East
Study Finds Provincial Powers Threatened Under Trade
Pact
The Canada -U.S. Trade Agreement makes room for a
third party at the federal -provincial bargaining table, con-
cluded a report prepared by Attorney General Ian Scott.
Under the Agreement, the U.S. Government will have the
right to insist that the Canadian Government intervene in a
wide range of matters, many under provincial jurisdiction.
New provincial programs in a wide variety of areas will
require the approval of U.S. politicians and interest groups.
If the Americans object, they will have the legal right to re-
quire the Canadian Government to intervene and attempt
to override provincial programs.
A dramatic reduction of the ability of both federal and
provincial governments to shape their future is a key fin-
ding of the report. "This will mean that provincial attempts
to respond to the social and economic needs of their citizens
will be severely constrained in the future," Mr. Scott ex-
plained.
The Attorney General was quick to point out that the
Agreement is not just about the specific matter of a new
pricing policy for wines and spirits. The report emphasizes
that the trade pact will result in a broad impairment of
government assistance to many of Ontario's industrial and
resource-based sectors.
The report finds that Canada's ability to regulate energy
and natural resources, health and social services, and
culture will be restricted under the Agreement. In addition.
the Agreement will prohibit "Buy Canadian" investment
rules and other measures designed to encourage business
start-ups and protect jobs.
Through this report, the Attorney General will be ex-
amining the federal enabling legislation on a sector by sec-
tor basis in fight of Ontario's constitutional concerns.
"ConLsti;tutional change in this country should not be
achieved as an afterthought. It is important for all Cana-
dians to understand and openly debate changes in the way
we are governed," Mr. Scott added.
Grace Six Reading and Mathematics Levels to be Assessed
Education Minister Chris Ward has announced that his
Ministry will conduct reviews in reading and mathematics
for Grade 6 students during the 1989 89 school year. This ef-
fort will enable the Ministry to assess the effectiveness with
which programs are being taught in Ontario classrooms.
The reviews will be carried out at 100 English-language
and 100 French -Language schools and will be publicly
available in December 1909.
In making the announcenxit,Mr. Ward stressed that the
reviews are not designed as, or intended to become, a
mechanism for comparing the performance of student
against student, school against school, or board against
board. Nor, the Minister stated. do they represent a return
to province -wide standardized testing, a system discarded
by Ontario in 1967.
'The Provincial Review process," Mr. Ward said, "is a
key part of the government's commitment to make our
system of education more accountable to the public and is
intended to provide parents, students and educators of On-
tario with a clear evahcation of how wefl our system of
education is performing and bow effectively it is meeting
the demands we create for it."
Polygraph Out. Police Sensitivity Encouraged in Reducing
Trauma of Sexual Assault Vietims
Polygraph or he detector tests will no longer be permitted
when questioning victims of sexual assault, Solicitor
General Joan Smith has announced.
The directive is one of two important initiatives intended
to reduce the trauma of women who have been sexually.
assaulted. Mrs_ Smith has also announced that her ministry
will encourage police forces across the province to develop
expertise among officers in dealing with cases of sexual
assault.
While commending the Metropolitan Toronto Police for
establishing the key position of sexual assault co-ordinator
to deal with the complex aspects of such cases, the Solicitor
General recognized that most police forces across the pro-
vince do not have sufficient resources to appoint a full-time
co-ordinator. She emphasized, however, that it should be
possible for most Ontario police forces to develop a degree
of expertise in sexual assault cases.
"Because of the number of sexual assault cases in all
parts of the province, we should have police officers in
place who know about sexual assault and its impact on vic-
tims who could evolve into specialists on the crime," Mrs.
Smith said.
On the topic of polygraphs, which Canadian courts will
not admit as evidence, the Solicitor General stated that
"many women may, and often do, wrongly blame
themselves when they are sexually assaulted - although
they have done nothing to provoke an attack. The possibili-
ty of inaccurate conclusions by the polygraph operator
could be dramatically magnified."

Joint Initiative To Create Housing For 12,000
Housing Minister Chaviva Hosek and Mayor Art Eg-
gleton announced that the Province of Ontario and the City
of Toronto will work together in a $1 billion housing develop-
ment that will provide homes for 12,000 people in downtown
Toronto.
Approximately 60 percent of the project, known as St.
Lawrence Square, will be developed under non-profit hous-
ing programs, and for ownership and rental by low -to -
moderate income households.
St. Lawrence Square will be modelled on the successful
St. Lawrence Neighbourhood, developed in the 1970's. The
success of this neighbourhood, with its integrated assisted
housing, social services, schools, parks and commercial
uses, is demonstrative of the benefits of this form of
residential development.
Describing the 70 acre development as a "dramatic and
innovative move to provide affordable housing in a city fac-
ing extreme demands,.' Ms. Hosek says that St. Lawrence
Square will add between six and seven thousand units of
housing, providing homes for seniors, families and people
with special needs.
The costs of land acquisition, additional servicing and
preparing the site for development and construction of the
housing are expected to total about $1 billion. The City of
Toronto will fund the project through loans guaranteed by
the Province of Ontario.
The City of Toronto will be responsible for the design and
development of St_ Lawrence Square. with most of the con-
struction being carried out by the private sector.
The first step in the development of St. Lawrence Square
will be a thorough envirorrnenntal rehabilitation of the area.
Soil conditions will be made acceptable for residential use
and several sources of air pollution will be eliminated.
St. Lawrence Square is likely the largest community Pro-
ject of its type in Canada. Homes in the fust phase of this
bold and innovative development could be ready for oc-
cupancy as early as 1990.
Parliamentary Session Wrap -Lip
By the conclusion of Queen's Park's busy spring session,

•a French -language school board for Ottawa -Carleton;
•proposed legislation to allow local governments to

tection;
•a crackdown on car repair ripoffs;
•new trucking safety laws.
The government also announced major health care and
education initiatives.
The government's stated priority to provide new educa-
tion facilities for rapidly growing communities was met
with a $9m -million, three-year capital commitment that
will support comtrucbm of elementary and secondary
schools.

Transportation Directions
for Greater Toronto.
The Board of Trade
strongly supports increas-
ed expenditures on
Metropolitan Toronto road
extensions and widenings
to improve travel time for
motorists, truckers and bus
users.
The board, however, is
concerned that a better
balance be struck between
road spending and spen-
ding on public transit.
More transit riders use the
buses that depend on an ef-
fective road system than
the riders on subway and
rail combined. Currently,
the Ministry of Transporta-
tion has slotted 37 percent
of a VW million transpor-
tation investment to roads
which The Board feels is
not a proportionate roads
and transit expenditure.
Northwest Metro
Transportation Study.
The board the
supports
fundings and recommenda-
tions of the Northwest
Metro Transportation
Study calling for such solu-
tions as: increased GO Rail
services with a new station
at Eglinton; transit fare in-
tegration and service in-
tegration between Metro
and Peel /York; intersec-
tion improvements;
numerous road widenings.
extensions, reconstruction
of the Gardiner bridges:
and a traffic management
system for the Gar-
diner Lakeshore Corridor.
However, The Board is
concerned that the protec-
tion of land at Rexdale and
Highway 27 for an inter-
regional bus terminal is not
the best location.
The Radwauski Report
(Ontario Study of the
Relevance of Education
and the Issue of Dropouts).
The board supports
many of the views
presented in the report, On-
tario Study of the
Relevance of Education,
and the Issue of Dropouts,
including: the abolishment
of social promotion of
children significantly
behind the grade level; and
the shift in education em-
phasis from one of process
to one of outcome with ob-
jectives in terms of
demonstrable knowledge
and skills.
The board, however,
feels that universally
available early childhood
education for children from
the age of three would have
immense financial, plann-
ing and social implications
and should be examined
more closely. The Board
also disagrees with study
recommendations on
abolishing the high school
streaming system.
Time Limitations for Re-
determination of Tariff
Classification and Re-
appraisal of Value for Du-
ty.
The board welcomes pro-
posed changes to criteria in
which Customs and Excise
officials consider requests
for the re -determination of
tariff classification or re-
appraisal of value for duty
filed beyond a 90 -day time
frame.
However, the board
regrets that the federal
department has not decid-
ed on an unconditional two-
year tine limit for assign-
ment review.
Taxation of Excess Retire-
ment Benefits Ar-
rangemen".
The board urges that the
jurisdiction of the Pension
Benefits Act be clarified so
it is not extended to com-
pensation arrangements
designed to provide retire-
ment income in excess of
the Revenue Canada pen-
sion maximum.
The board suggests leav-
ing excess arrangements to
be negotiated between
employees and employers.
New Federal RRSP Rules.
The board has suggested
a number of major tax rule
modifications which would
enhance participation in
retirement savings plans
by taxpayers while also
providing necessary limits
through Revenue Canada,
including:
-the maximum RRSP con-
tributions for individuals
not belonging to a
registered pension plan
would be the lesser of
$11,000 or 18% of earned inr
corse, less employee con-
tributions.
-the maximum RRSP con-
tribution for a member of a
Registered Defined Con-
tribution Pension Plan
would be the lesser of
$11,000 or 18% of earned in-
come, less employee con-
tributions.
-the maximum RRSP con-
tribution for a member of a
Registered Defined Benefit
Plan would be the lesser of
$7,000 or 19% of earned in-
come, less employee con-
tributions.

tario Premier David Peter
son to pass Bills 86, 87 and

transportation, as soon as
possible.

In April the board made
reference to recommenda-
tions in the Radwanski
Report in a letter to
Minister of Education
Chris Ward, and supported
province -wide uniform
standards of testing. The
Board believes that the im-
plementation of standar-
dized tests would be in the
long -run interests of the
business community enabl-
ing employers to hire
employees who have learn-
ed pleasurable skills.
In response to the
board's submission Mr.
Ward identified the impor
tance of ensuring that
students receive an educa-
tion that prepares them for
a satisfying and productive
life in the world of work.
The Education Committee
is hopeful that a meeting
can be arranged with
Ministry personnel to fur-
ther discuss this matter.

Baby Meds & Mini Clubs Take
Compromise Out Of Vacationing
It's a fact of life. Every
member of the family
needs a vacation. From the
hard-working grade
schooler to the high-
pressured parent. But, as
the kids count the days,
Mom and Dad envision how
they'll really need a vaca-
tion after it's over. How
they won't be able to relax
and enjoy each other's
company.
Club Med knows all about
these trials and tribula-
tions and proposes an easy
solution.
Take the whole family to
"Mini Club" villages at

troduced over two decades
ago by the club. Children
have the exclusive use of
their particular area,
where special activities are
offered tinder the supervi-
sion of a trained staff of
"gentils organisateurs"
(nice organizers).
The concept worts, as it
serves every member of
the vacationing fancily. As
the jtmiors go off each mor
ning to join their peers,
Mom or Dad are not far
away on the tennis court,
aboard a sailboat or tinder
a palm tree with a good
book. The family can
regroup at anytime to do
things together.
Mini Clubs are reserved

Hong Kong — where exotic east meets trendy west
I
Sail through history — a traditionaljunk saih past Hung Bong's modern skyline.
Picture a city of futuristic
skyscrapers framed by ancient
floating villages and tradition-
al Chinese temples.
Inhale the fragrances of a
city that blends Chinese cook-
ing with dishes of the rest of
Asia, Western Europe. North
America and, yes, even
McDonald's.
Listen to a city where the
hum of traffic and people is
muted by the music and cere-
monial fanfare of a traditional
festival.
This is Hong Kong — where
exotic east meets trntdv west
to offer a -one-of-a-kind" tra-
vel experience. Its ma is a
what inspired author James
Clavell to create Tai Pan and
Noble Howse.
This unique mix of old- and
sew -world style is drawing
more and more Canadians
each year to Hong Kong. A re-
cent travel survey showed that
in 1987 Hong Kong wel-
comed 156.500 vnilors &orn
Canada, an increase of 22 per
cent from 1996. This is more
than double the 64 500 Can-
adian visitors that journeyed
to Hong Kong in 1981.
Hong Kong not just a city
Hong Kong is actually more
than a city. One thousand
square kilometres (400 square
auks) in arca, Hong Kong is a
group of tiny islands and
peninsulas that hug the south
coast of China. This territory
consists of Hong Kong Island
itself and a series of 235 out-
Iving islands, neighbouring
Kowloon across the harbour
on the China mainland and
the New Territories, the rural.
green land between China and
the Kowloon peninsula.
Yet one need only take a
brief taxi ride or a short under-
ground railway trip (on the
Mass Transit Railwav) to jour-
ney from the modern office
towers and world-class hotels
to the traditional Hong Kong.
On the south side of Hong
Kona Island lies Aberdeen
floating village — home of
Hong Kong's "boat people".
where homes are junks, streets
are waterways and travel is by

Stanley Village provides
only a sample of the many
scents that waft through this
"fragrant harbour" of Hong
Kong. In sheer variety of fine

other city compares. With
Chinese — Cantonese, Pe-
king, Chiu Chow, Szechwan
and Shanghai — and inter-
national cuisines — French,
Swiss, Mediterranean, Ger-
man, Italian, Thai and Ja-
panese — Hong Kong satisfies
both eastern and western pa-
lates. And this cross-cultural
menu is celebrated annually
during the month-long feast of
the Hong Kong Food Festival.
But nowhere does east meet
west better than in the year-
long series of festivals that
make the busy streets, har-
bours and shops of Hong
Kong come alive with the
sounds of celebration. No
matter whether its the Chinese
New Year in January- Febru-
ary or the Mid -Autumn Lan-

there's always a reason to take
to the streets with traditional
Chinese operas, dancing drag-
ons and ceremonial proces-
sions.

The many sights, sounds
and smells of east and west are
precisely why Canadian visi-

Report
from Norah Stoner
MPP Durham West
A comprehensive review of Ontario's consumer protec-
tion legislation. the "Directions Report", was released
recently by Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister
William Wrye.
The report was prepared by the Legislative Review Pro-
ject which was created in 1966 to review the 20 pieces of con-
sumer legislation administered by the Business Practices
Division of the ministry and bring forward proposals that
would assist in the development of a new consumer protec-
tion strategy for Ontario.
Mr. Wrye said "Release of this report is only the first
step in revamping of our consumer protection laws. My
ministry has already created an internal structure to
review the report and its accompanying research papers.
)Following public consultation, specific legislative pro-
posals will be developed and brought forward for considera-
tion.'
One of the key proposals made by the Legislative Review
Project is the consolidation of the basic consumer protec-
tion laws into a single statute or consumer protection code.
The code would embody the basic rights, responsibilities
and remedies of consumer transactions.
The Consumer Protection Act and the Business Practices
Act are the two major pieces of existing legislation ad-
numstered by the Business Practices Division.
An important task of the review team was formulating a
set of basic principles of marketplace fairness against
which government policies and legislative initiatives can be
measured.
The "Directions Report" concludes that fairness in the
marketplace is founded on four fundamental principles:
reasonable disclosure of information. transactional
fairness. fair value, i.e. product quality, or reasonable
value for price paid: and reasonably available and accessi-
ble consumer remedies or dispute resolution mechanisms.
Most of the corsuuner protection laws in this province
date back to the late 196o's.
A news release from the ministry said it has become in-
creasingly obvious that many ofthese laws need to be
overhauled to more accurately represent the consumer
marketplace of today.
"We wamt to develop a structure for regulatory
mectnnisms and marketing practices that reflect the In recent years, there has been an increase in the number

Q. Where is the Hockey Hall of Fame? M.F.
A. Nothing is ever simple. There are at least two Halls of
Fame for the sport of hockey. The Hockey Hall of Fame
(now located in Toronto, Ontario) was first established as
part of the international Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston,
Ontario by Captain James Sutherland. After Sutherland's
death in 1955, Clarence Campbell, president of the National
Hockey League, announced that the league was transferrr-
ing its allegiance to Toronto where the Hockey Hall of
