Truth About South Africa
by Bob Watson
The Toronto Star editorialized this topic in its last Sunday
paper and revealed how biased and uninformed Canadians
-are about Soufh Africa.
To show how biased The Star is its front page carried a
:story about an opinion entitled "Step Up Apartheid Fight
Canada Told" while the more important nevus story about a
bomb explosion in Johannesbtirg injuring 56 and killing one
person - all white - was relegated to page 2. Talk about bias!
In its editorial the Star says it isn't true that there is so
:much economic opportunity in South Africa blacks flick in
from other African states. Sorry Star but this is very true as
the surrounding states are run by communist regimes aid-
ed by the Soviet Union where individual and economic
freedom is very limited. The cold, bard facts are that black
Africans placed the right to place an "X" on the ba" se-
cond to having a nice house, TV set and car, which they can
get in South Africa.
This week Extenal Affairs Minister Joe Clark will be
chairing a Commonwealth conference on South Africa. Un-
fortunately his attitude towards South Africa seems to be
dictated by a group of African National Congress people at
Ottawa. whom our federal government is truing like an
embassy of a proper country instead of as a lobby group
from a Soviet Union backed organization. If the his&
dissidents in South Africa are so poor. haw come they can
afford this elaborate office in Canada? Wbo is paying for it
- the Soviet Unica?
The situation in South Africa has never been reported
realistically in the Toronto Star and we challeage this daily
to tell us what would happen in South Africa if suddenly the
black dissidents took over the country. For an answer look
at Mozambique. Zimbabwe, Uganda or Kenya and you will
see countries where individual freedom and economics are
terrible. But the black dictators are not allowing
democracy either.
Removal of the white government is not the answer for
the majority black people. Some 5 million black South
Africans have economics, schools and a better way of life
than most other Africans. The answer in South Africa is not
easy rho• obvious and we believe the answer should be left to
the people in that country.
A satisfacton• answer will not come from Canada
because our politicians are ignorant of the real problems
and answers. Removal of the influence of the Soviet Union
and its Cuban troops would help a lot towards the start of a
change in that society
No Complaint?
In, Bob Watson
Inst week a Worldways Canada plane carrying 246
passengers from Britain had to climb sharply to avoid colli-
sion with two Soviet bombers as well as two U.S. fighters off
the coast of Newfoundland. Fortunately no one was hurt but
if this writer knows that Soviet military planes violate
Canadian air space daily, we ask the question: "%by
doesn't Prime Minister Brian Mulroney know about this?"
And the second question is: "U the PM knows about this,
when will we hear him announce restrictions m the Soviet
Union. or is he too busy giving South Africa a bard time?"

Child Amputee
Nene year old Lisa Butler was reoattly in Kitchener
meeting a special group of children. Unlike most of the
children Lisa knows in her hometown, these kids were all
amputees - just like Lisa.

lin The War Amputations of Canada Child Amputee
(CHAMP) Program. As a member Liu receives financial
assistance with all the costs associated with wearing an ar-
tifncal limb: the cost of the limb itself (or that portion not
paid for by a medical plan); travelling expenses to and
frau the rehabilitation centre: special adaptors for hob-
bies: recreational limbs for sports of all kinds and more.
The CHAMP seminar Lisa attended brought together
more than 65 Ontario amputee children, ranging in age
from six months to 19 years, for three days of information,
counselling and general 'eomrader'y'.
But the highlight of this seventh annual seminar was a
new session entitled: "Computers and Your Future".
Champs, 10 and older, were introduced to an innovative
computer training program for disabled individuals.
The War Amps is deeply concerned about the future of its
Champs. This introduction to computers was an attempt to
show the Champs a career possibility and to spur their in-
terest in the ever-growing field of computer technology.
Concern for the employment of the disabled is not new to
The War Amps. It's the founding philosophy of their Key
Tag Service which began more than 42 years ago. Disabled
adults are employed in all facets of the Key Tag Service;
much of the west there now involves the use of computers.
For the majority of children, this seminar was their first
opportunity to be in a group situation with other amputee
children. Some may never have had the chance to meet
another amputee child. CHAMP has found such an ex-
perience is tremendously beneficial for the children.
"nie child often comes away with a new attitude,.. states
Chadderton. "If they had bean Muctatnt to wear an artifical
limb before the seminar, they usually change their mind by
the end of the weekend. The child goes home and literally
asks Mom or Dad to be taken to the prosthetist.
The War Amps provides financial assistance and
counselling to more than 1200 child amputees across
Canada who are missing limbs from birth, medical reasons
or accidents and all the funds come from the public throto
donations to the Key Tag and Address Label Service.

New Safety Record For lite Corporation
Last month, Ontario Hydro staff at the Bruce Heavy
Water Plant completed 5 million worklhours without a lost
time injury. These employees
now hold the company record
for working the longest without a lost time injury. This safe.
ty record started in July of 1963 and continues to grow with
each hour waked safely.
This performance has attracted the attention of Shell oil,
who are evaluating their own
safety programs and looking
at organizations that have achieved safety excellence.
Currently, there are over 500 employees working at the
heavy water plant, located at the Bruce Nuclear Power
Development on Lake Huron.
Export Revenues
Ontario Hydro sold 552 million kilowatt-hours of electrici-
ty to United States utilities in May. These electricity sales
earned over $2 trillion in net
revenues.

Parents train child for a dry night's sleep
when the Smiths first realized
he had a problem Bill was 8
years old. Now he is 15.
"Don't worry, he'll outgrow it"
The doctors kept telling them. The
last time had been four years ago.
But Bill was still a bedwetter. He
would wake up in a dry bed just two
days a week. Five doctors had tried
their best. They put Bill through
many tests. wrote numerous
prescriptions, ordered hospital stays
and even performed surgery.
Nothing seemed to work.
"Over the last 15years, we felt for-
tunate if the bed was dry two nights
in a row." says the boy's father, who
asked that their real names not be
used. Bill could go to visit someone
and spend the night But he might
stay awake the whole time, because
he was embarassed and did not want
to wet the bed.
Then, several weeks ago. the
Smiths heard of the Canadian
Children's Centre. They sent away
for free literature and saw their own
son's story being played out What
had hit them hardest was an earlier
story that linked bedwetting to
arson.
"My son tried to burn down our
shed." says the father. That's when 1
said 1 am tired of hearing 'don't
worry he will outgrow it' -also
found out bedwetting is harmful
physically and emotionally. if
bedwetting can be stopped. why,
should we allow our child to sleep in
this condition. if my son needed
braces. i wouldn't hesitate."
Many don't outgrow
bedwetting
Children don't always stop
bedwetting says Canadian
Children's Centre director Vincent
Fowler. In 14 years the Centre has
successfully treated thousands of
bedwetters. and receives a large
number of inquiries from adults
who still have the problem.
But quite often a doctor will
say 'Don't worry; your child will
outgrow it' That's because most
doctors don't want the parents to
worry. A history of bedwetting in
the family can reduce the chances
a child will outgrow it"
Psychologist Dr. Warren Bailer
of the University of California at
Los Angeles writes "Evidence ac-
cumulated casts doubt that
children outgrow bedwetting Most
bedwetters hide their feelings and
shame, and 'embarrassement are
their constant companion. Correc-
ting bedwetting often produces
remarkable results in family reW
tionships, behavior, school work
and peer contact"
Bill was dry nine weeks after
the Smiths sent for the Centre
literature and eight weeks without
a wet bed, they have started to
notice other changes.
"My son has always been very
quiet, very withdrawn. He seldom
Wks to us. I guess that's because
he was teased a lot when someone
who'd let him stay at his home let
the cat out of the bag." says the
father. Today Bill reaches out for
affection from his family in a way
they've never known. He also ap-
pears much calmer.
Bill follows the patterns of
many "nocturnal enuretics" as the
condition is medically known. For
them, the problem is more than
just a wet sheet nuisance. Unfor-
tunately, it's still a closely closeted
problem few people are willing to
seek help for or even discuss with
their family physicians or friends.
Harmful physically
and emotionally
"These children can become
social outcasts," Fowler says,
'Their bedwetting problem makes
t difficult for them to join the
,rowd, to go to camp, or. spend the
eight with a friend. They live in
,onstant fear of ridicule that
somebody will uncover their pro-
11em. Bedwetting is not an ac-
!epted thing to do.
"To offer a child a reward to accomplish
something when they're sleeping, they can't win.
It sets them up for failure."
He noted that the resulting
shame from bedwetting during the
sensitlKe age of a child, can be
devastating. Often hostility,
resentment and feelings of rejec-
tion or antisocial traits that can
carry over into adulthood.
Our success goes beyond lust
stopping bedwetting." Fowler
says. "Most parents tell us that
their children are happier with
themselves. The children like
themselves more and so do their
parents. A child who likes and
respects himself is more capable
of liking and respecting others.
'A tremendous amount of
stress is removed from the whole
family. Often they weren't even
aware it was related to bedwetting.
Parents often find a great
behaviour and attitude change in
the ch i Id."
"Schoolwork often improves
and so does the child's attention
span and concentration. There are
some real, positive benefits from
stopping bedwetting"
But bedwetting, he explains
can leave emotional scars both on
children and parents if the pro-
blem isn't treated quickly. And as a
general rule, he says, children
should be able to make it through
the night within six months of be-
ing toilet trained during daytime
hours.
The concerned parent
Bedwetting is known to cause
emotional problems if not cor-
rected before school. So the ma-
jority of inquiries come from
parents of four year-olds looking
for a solution prior to their
children starting school.
Many other parents get upset at
the child because they know
friends and relatives can
sometimes smell the odor, and the
cost can average over $300 a year,
just for laundry.
Some parents will reward their
children for a dry night or scold
when bedwetting occurs. But
Fowler says "To offer a child
reward to accomplilsh something
when they're sleeping, is a no-win
situation. It sets them up for
failure."
He notes that a 3% year study at
McGill University concludes that
deep sleep, not the child, is to
blame as the No. 1 cause of
bedwetting.
Causes and effects
"Bedwetting can cause a tiny
bladder and so does waking or
reduc ' .
ing liquids." he says. "You actually
encourage bedwetting by waking
them "
Afterawhile, the child develops
some strongly ingrained habits
and negative self -expectations,
which make it harder to overcome
the problem, he adds. Repeated
bedwetting episodes at night. and
the frequency of day time voiding
may tend to keep the bladder
underdeveloped and the sphincter
or lock muscle weak. Most bedwet-
ters are very sensitive The child
may also, become overly sensitive
about being a bedwetter. This anx-
iety connected with bedwetting
can make the problem worse.
After children are toilet train-
ed, he says, waking in the morning
weanng a diaper or sleeping in a
wet bed can't help but affect them
emotionally. They know they are a
disappointment to themselves and
their parents.
Folk remedies
There are plenty of folk and
traditional remedies, but they
often do more harm than good
because they delay proper
therapy.
Improper methods of treating
bedwetting can include: walling or
lifting a child at night, restricting
or reducing liquids during the day
or before bed, rewards, scolding,
drugs, waiting to outgrow it, and
treating it medically. All of the
above methods can produce harm-
ful side effects.
Scolding only makes the pro-
blem worse, because the child
ends up denying how badly he or
she feels to the parents.
Medical attempts
Medical intervention isn't as
prevalent as it once was, it also can
worsen a conditon.
Both the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and the American
Medical Association say drugs are
not the treatment choice.
Fowler notes that the American
Academy of Pediatrics established
that bedwetting is not a medical
problem, and advised against most
medical tests or drugs. For exam-
ple X-rays close to a child's
genitals poses unnecessary risk bf
radiation.
He notes that a surgical pro-
cedure where the urethra or
urinary passage is enlarged has
been popular. But Fowler says the
healing and a scarring process cah
cause the urethra to become
smaller. The Smith's son - Bill
underwent the operation and it
didn't work.
Psychological
considerations
Staff psychologist Arnold
Keller says the worst so-called
solution -without question - is for
parents to wait until children
Outgrow the problem. This is
because toilet training teaches
children the difference between
right and wrong. success and
failure, clean and dirty. So
bedwetting only reinforces
negative feelings and can lead to a
poor self image.
"It's not that they outgrow it it's
that they stop talking about it" he
says. Most bedwetters hide their
feelings in shame. They try to hide
from the parents any inkling that it
matters. So parents often don't
think it affects the child. If a child
does not show signs of the bedwet-
ting bothering them, this can be
serious.
"The majority don't work to
their full potential," he says. Sinco
they are active during the day they
are deep sleepers with a short at-
tention span. Keller says they
often have difficulty com-
municating with their parents
because of the guilt associated
with bedwetting. One study show-
ed three of every four institu-
tionalized juvenile delinquents
were or had been bedwetters. Un-
fortunately, too, says Keller, there
is a higher incidence of suicide to
children who are bedwetters.
The older personality type it
that of the over -achievers, who try
to prove they're OK Keller says
they knock themselves out to be
successful. All of this can cause
parents to suffer gui It when family
or friends start blaming them foir
their children's problem. And as'
last straw, parents sometimes have
resorted to rather cruel methods
of stopping their children from
bedwetting.
Keller says one family admitted
beating their child and making
him sleep in a wet bed - admittedly
the first time they'd been abusive
-and contrary to their love and
desire for their son to stop wetting
the bed.
Fortunately, Fowler says,
bedwetting can be corrected in
almost every case. Parents can cor-
rect it right in the privacy of their
own home. The centre enjoys a
success rate of about 97 percent of
those accepted, using the Dry Bed
Training method Fowler
pioneered.
The method now called The
Fowler Method, was first
developed in Australia at Adelaide
Children's Hospital. The dif-
ference is that The Fowler Method
can be done outside of the
hospital, with parents or adult
bedwetters working on their own.

Summer Backyard Fun
Coping which acn,-e
youngsters is a daily chal-
lenge, particularly during off -
school times when their ener-
gies seem boundless. And for
those frequent "snack -
breaks." it's quite a feat to
satisfy their needs.
Be prepared — that's half
the battle — and rely upon a
handy supply of nutritious
snacks and refreshing drink-.
to get you through their con-
stant demands for treats and
cooling beverages.
For backyard fun, mix up
a large pitcher of '-Summer-
time Punch", a sparkling
drink that combines orange
flavour with lemon juice and
apricot nectar. For a delici-
ous go -with, the young set
will enjoy "Crunchy Peanut
Butter BaUs-. a combination
of nutritious ingredients like
peanut butter, nuts and cereal.
This easy -to -make cereal
treat requires no baking, and
is refrigerated to serve as
desired.
For cooler days make the
children "Award Winning
Jam Cookies". These are a
favorite with everyone. Ask
the children to roll the dough
into balls and spoon the jam in
the cookies when they are
baked.
Summer wouldn't be sum-
mer without "Super No -Drip
Pops? Moms and kids love
this fruit flavoured thirst quen-
cher. Make these pops in
paper cups, ice cube trays or
in plastic moulds. A real treat
for the hot, hazy days of sum-
mer.

AT THE O'KEEFE:
One of our more
treasured L. P. s - long since
transcribed to cassette - is
a Columbia release titled
Broadway Show Stoppers.
Produced by the late God-
dard leiberson, the title is
self explanatory.
As much as it's possible
to have a favourite selec-
tion from such a plenitude
of riches, ours is arguably
Valse Milieu as stag by
Clive Revill in the original
production of Irma
LaDouce. It's a bittersweet
sort of song and performed
by say, Noel Coward or
Ronald FYankeau it could
be a brittle piece.
Mr. Revill, however,
dray not
ality�dof the
aforementioned gentlemen
infuses it with rather more
sweetness than bitterness.
It's a masterful perfor-
mance.
We have never had the
pleasure of seeing and
bearing Mr. Revill in per-
son and are much looking
forward to his appearance
in The Mystery of Edwin
Drood which opens next
week at The O'Kede for a
scheduled regrettably
short run.
Drood is, as most know,
based on the last novel of
Charles Dickes which was
uncompleted at his death.
Somehow Rupert
Holmes, the Pina Colada
man, contrived a musical
out of it and it enjoyed a
hugely successful run on
Broadway starring Cleo
Laine. This O'Keefe pro-
duction, in addition to Mr.
Revill, also stars Jean
(Dingbat) Stapleton.
Although Miss
Stapleton's voice is admit-
tedly not what it once was
she can still deliver a tune
nicely and she and Mr.
Revill should be quite a
combination.
Scholars have delighted
for years now in trying to
determine just what did
happen to Edwin Drool.
You won't find the answer
In this show but you will be
imrited to offer your opi-
nion. That's one of the very
strong attractions of
Drood; the audience is in-
vited to offer its solution.

Even Senor Peas we sug-
gest cannot shatter that
perception and this CD
might not achieve the
recognition that it so clear-
ly deserves. What one is
trying to say is that this is
not for everyone.
That said, allow us a sug-
gestion to the producers.
There are precious few
musical instruments that
warrant sob performances
and the guitar is not one of
them. Yet, flamenco must
be preserved. Why not
have Senor Pena play
mano a mann through the
magic of overdubbing"

IN PRT:
Well, one has finally
copmpleted The of
the Master by Jack L
Chalker. Books three and
four - Warriors of the
Storm and Masks of the
Martyrs (Ballantine Del
Rey) - wrap it all up and
one is left with only one
mystery; why only fain
books abort five rings?
We suspect it's because
Mr. Chalker and his staff -
the boots are clearly not
written entirely by him -
amply grew weary of the
task. Certainly we grew
weary reading the well in-
tentioned quartet.
Regular readers will
recall that the premise
behind the boots was that
Earth had been controlled
for centuries by machines
that kept the universe or as
much of it as was deemed
desirable in a state of
primitivity to prevent its
destruction.
Still. Master System had
devised a scheme by which
five nags i keys) properly
placed could unlock the
system and allow mankind
free will once again_
No, Mr. Chalker doesn't
trot out an allegory of
Satan and his minions
rebelling against the
Creator. He does, however,
have his epic heroes
wonder if their ultimate
success is worth it.
To be fair it's an intrigu-
ing concept that the
author(s) set out but one
wonders why so many
volumes were necessary.
Actually one knows but is
not churlish enough to print
it.
Anyway, we've checked
for popular appeal of the
book (err regular waitress
at Maxwell's) and ap-
parently they have been
well If you're a sci-fi fan,
you'd best make your own
determination of the worth
How can you

mind's potential?

We should mention, at
the risk of stringing things
out like Mr. Chalker, that
he does write about
something in the last
vokrne that almost makes
the exercise worthwhile.
That's the idea that a
noachine or system can
drive itself insane with con-
Meting
oo-flirting programs: one to
help mankind, another to
maIr e his self help as dif-
ficult and as cruel as possi-
ble.
We rather suspect our
desk terminal has read
Rings of the Master.
Our admiration for the
writing of Gore Vidal con -
tins to grow. We are
much aware that we've
criticised in the past what
we consider to be his
sometimes over verbosity
but that doesn't diminish
the impact of his words.
Messiah (Ballantine) is
one of his first works. Writ-
ten in 1964 but dated in the
declining years of the 20th
century, it's the story of the
establishment of a
religious cult that em-
braces the idea that death
is all and devoutly to be
wished.
It brilliantly anticipated
the excesses of the
reverend (we refuse to
capitalize the devil) Jim-
my Jones and in fact, one's
heart chills at the thought
that the reverend J.J.
might have been influenced
by Messiah.
The book is frightening
as a narrative and yet at
the same time as one
should be trembling with
fear, one is almost sighing
over the brilliance of Mr.
Vidal's writing.
If the book has a fault at
all it is that Mr. Vidal's
writing style is so per-
vasive as to risk diminish -
met of the point he is try-

MulikukGrWism Strategy Marks Its First Anniversary
Over $7 million in funding for 63 multicultural initiatives
have been announced by Gerry Phillips, Minister of Citizen-
ship and Minister Responsible for Race Relations,
Multiculturalism and the Ontario Human Rights Commis-
sion
The initiatives mark the completion of the first of the five-
year Ontario Government's Multiculturalism Strategy.
During 1987, 59 projects were initiated in 22 different
ministries.
"The strategy, ensures that programs operated by the
province respond to the Hestia of Ontario's culturally and
racially diverse society. The goal of the strategy is full par-
ticipation and responsible citizenship for all Ontarians,"
Mr. Phillips said.
A conference sponsored by the Ministry of the Solicitor
General for police forces on cross-cultural policing, the
creation of Special Advisor on Race Relation; at the
Ministry of Education, and an interministerial committee
to develop a co-ordinated, long-range approach to the
delivery of both English and French as second languages
are featured among the 1988-* it itiatives.
"In our multicultural society, we are all part of the
mainstream. A new model for responding to our cultural
diversity is emerging in Ontario, a model based on partner-
ship and understanding," Mr. Phillips added.
New Strategy for Cash mer Protection Sought
A comprehensive review of Ontario's consumer protec-
tion legislation, the "Directions Report", has been released
by Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister Bin
Wrye.
The report, prepared by the Legislative Review Project,
brings forward proposals that would assist in the develop-
ment of a new consumer protection strategy for Ontario.
The Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations has
already made preparations to review the report. Following
public consultations, specific legislative proposals will be
developed and brought forward for consideration.
The report's proposals are based on basic principles of
faintness:
'Reasonable disclosure of information;
'Transactional fairness;
*Fair value. or reasonable value for price paid;
Uieasanably available and accessible consumer remedies
or dispute resolution mechanisms.
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, rrsponsibLbbes
and remedies of consumer transactions.
"With the 'Directions Report' as a guide, I look forward
to the development of simplified yet comprehensive can.
sumer protection laws that will take us into the 199o's and
beyond," Mr. Wrye said.
The Directions Report and its suppieaamtary research
papers are available through the Ontario Government
Bookstore, 880 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M7A IM, tel.

Electrical Inspection Fees
To Increase Oct.1
Ontario Hydro's elec-
trical inspection fees will
be increased by 10 per cent
starting Oct. 1, 1988. "w in-
crease is the first in three
years.
"Fees for our electrical
inspection service have not
been raised since January,
1985," said Hydro's
Manager of Electrical In-
spection, Jack Dicker.
`•Hydro has been able to
postpone fee increases
since then because of im-
proved productivity. The 10
per cent increase this year
will allow us to improve
service and meet yising
costs due to inflation.
The new fees affect in-
spections for all residen-
tial, commercial and in-
dustrial installations. The
cost to inspect a typical
single family residence will
go up about $6 to $78 under
the new fee structure.
"Inspections are re-
quired lander the Electrical
Safety Code for all work on
electrical installations,"
Dicker said. "Inspection is
necessary to ensure the
safety of the public and the
proper operation of elec-
trical equipment. -
4 Year Old Contributes
To The Red Cross
Four-year old Corey
Smith of Ladysbridge Dr.
sent $2.19 to the Scar-
borough Branch of the
Canadian Red Cross Socie-
ty recently.
Corey requested that
some of the money be given
to the "poor people" and
some to "stop wars". Cor-
ey wrote "I don't want peo-
ple to fight, I think that
their leaders aren't
smart. "
The Red Cross wrote to
Corey to thank her for her
contribution and assured
her the money for the poor
people would be used to buy
food "for people in a far
away country where they
cannot have gardens to
grow food because they do
not get any rain."
They wrote that the
money to stop wars "is go-
ing to the leaders of the
Red Cross in Geneva who
can talk to the leaders and
presidents and generals of
the countries where there
is war."
Corey was invited to visit
the Red Cross head-
quarters on Bellamy Rd.
She accepted the invitation
to attend with her parents

Report
hofll Norah Stoner
MPP Durham West
Resolving the crisis in the need for affordable housing in
the province is a priority of the Ontario Government.
The report of the Minister of Housing's Advisory Commit-
tee on the International Year of Shelter for the Homeless
makes a number of recommendations in the area of social
housing.
One of the key recommendations is that the Housing
Ministry work with municipalities to speed up the construc-
tion of low cost rental housing by making government lands
available.
The recently -released report also recommends a
streamlining of the approval process; giving municipalities
sufficient resources; and amending the Planning Act.
The 10 -member committee was established in January of
1967 to identify approaches to and increase awareness of
the problem of homelessness. The report of the committee,
which was chaired by Jeffrey Patterson of the Metro Toron-
to Social Planning Council, was released by Housing
Minister Chaviva Hosek in late June.
Ms. Hosek said '"Ibe strength of the report is that it does
not merely identify the causes of homelessness, but recom-
mends specific strategies for increasing the supply of social
housing to meet the needs of homeless people in Ontario."
The need for co-operation between the non-profit sector
and the ministry to increase that sector's capacity to build
rental housing is emphasized in the report. It recommends
development of a system to facilitate corporate and com-
munity investment and that more funding be provided for
non-profit housing producers and resource groups.
In releasing the report. the Housing Minister said the
ministry has already begun to act on a number of the
Ms. Hosek said "We have already set a social housing
target of 56.000 units in the nest three to five years. This
figure represents a significant push on our put to double
the social housing allocation in the province.
"We are also working with municipalities to streamline
the zoning and approval process and dealing with issues
such as amending the Planning Act. making government
lands available and removing fecal constraints."
The housing Minister added that the government
believes a central response to the problem of homelessness
is the creation of more permanent housing and the gwArnr
ment is committed to working with communities by suppor-
ting local solutions to local prvbiems.
Ms. iioseik and Toronto Mayor Art ExKW recently an-
nouaiced that the province and the City of Toronto will work
together on a $1 billion housing development in downtown
Toronto that will provide homes for approximately Mow
people -
About 60 percent of the housing in the St. Lawrence
Square project will be developed under non-profit housing
programs and for rental and ownership by households with
low -to -moderate incomes_ The first homes w the develop►
neat, which will be located east of Toronto's downtown
core. could be ready for occupancy in 1990.
NORAH'S NOTES:
I am pleased that the Claremont and District Cornmuarity
Association is receiving a grant of 32,177 from the Ministry
of Culture and Communication to help offset the cost of the
150th anniversary celebrations in June.
The Ministry is also providing a grant of $5,918 to the
Pickering Museum Village for resource material and
equipment for a storage area for artifacts and an adjoining
ooaservation lab.
Speaking To You
by Scott Fennell
M.P. - Ontario Riding
Last week I spoke about this government's Gild care in-
itiatives, this week I would like to discuss the employment
situation for Canadian students.
From the beginning this government decided we needed
to take a new approach to training and job creation. After
discussions with the provincial governments in February
1985, we established five basic principles which would form
a new national direction for employment opportunities, and
we followed this new approach. We worked with the pro-
vinces, business, labour, and community groups to ensure
that these training and employment. principles were
mutually supported.
Since the Progressive Conservative government was
elected in 1984, the employment opportunities for students
has improved In June 1988, 35,000 more students had a
summer job than in the same month last year, and 176,000
more had a summer job than in June 1984.
More students had a summer job in June 1988 than in any
other June in the twelve years that Statistics Canada has
been publishing student summer employment data.
For Ontario students, 1988 was the best June on record!
439,000 students had a summer job in June 1988, an increase
of 14,000 from the same month last year, and an increase of
66,000 students from June 1984!
The Ontario student unemployment rate fell from 11.3%
in June 1964 to 7% in June 1988, a drop of 4.3 percentage
points.
These reults show that this government is doing what has
to be done to build real and lasting jobs through a stronger
national economy, and through this a stronger Canada.
