This Space Could Be Yours For '9 PER WEEK Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. May 16, 1990 opinion a page for expression for you and us About Bicycles by Bob Watson The other day we almost hit a young cyclist who was hid- den behind a car coming out of a shopping centre exit and we were going in. Suddenly this young fellow riding his bike on the sidewalk appeared from behind a car right in front of us. Our brakes worked and he was saved from injuries or death. We can't understand why our police forces are not crack- ing down on cyclists who all seem to believe that they can do anything on a bicycle and it is OK! Back in the 30's bicycles in the Toronto area were licens- ed and police regularly gave tickets to young people riding on the sidewalk just as the police do to motorists violating the rules. In our opinion it is high time - before young people get kill- ed or wounded - that the rules of cycling are enforced. Cyclists don't know that it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk with a two wheeled bicycle. They don't know that they must dismount and walk their bikes in a crosswalk. They don't know that that cut in the sidewalk is for wilieelchairs, not bicycles. And they don't know that when on the road with cars they must obey the Hiles of the road! The reason that most young people do not observe the rules is that they have never been told the rules. Before cyclists get hurt, could we not have some publicity on how- to ride a bicycle and what the rules of the road are'. Oppose Sunday Shopping Dear Editor: Survey Shows -Majority Opposes Sunday S opPng One issue which really concerns retailers in Ontario is Sunday Shopping. The vast majority of survey respondents are opposed to Sunday Shopping. Their six reasons are per- suasive! Enclosed is a copy of the report that appeared in the Spr- ing 1990 issue of Realty Flash. published by Coldwell Banker's Realty Consulting Group. It recently conducted a survey of tenants in three sectors of retailing: food, mer- chandise and service. You willwant to read this survey while you consider what action your community might take regarding Sunday Shop- ping. The economic consequences can be serious' Fairness For Families promotes the prompt and strict enforcement of the Retail Business Holidays Act. We want to prevent the erosion of the Act by the adoption of municipal bylaws that effectively protect the retailers' and the retail employees' human right to observe Sundays and other public holidays. Fairness For Families is an Ontario coalition of businesses, churches, citizens' groups. retailers' associa- tions and trade unions, all of which strongly oppose wide- open Sunday Stopping. Some of our social concerns regarding wide-open Sunday stopping are explained in the enclosed article. You are welcome to use it as you see fit. We would like as many retail employers and employees as possible to enjoy a com- mon pause day with their families and friends. They deserve it as much as others do. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Sincerely yours.

Mainstream Canada The Big Lie By Terry O'Shaughnesst Federal Finance Minister Michael Filson says over and over again that the Goods and Services Tax is simple. Finance Committee Chairman Don Blenkarn frequently blusters that the tax is fair and easy to collect. Revenue Minister Otto Jelinek assures Canadians that the GST is workable and no problem to administer. As the saying goes: "What is wrong with this picture''" What's wrong with this picture, aside from the rather disturbing image of this smiting `see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' trio, is that the GST is a tax which will be far from simple, deeply unfair, and light years away from being work- able. Even a brief look at the tax shows the government's obvious manipulation of the facts. The proposed 7 per cent GST will, for the first time in this country, tax most goods and services. This 7 per cent tax must then be awkwardly com- bined with nine different provincial sales tax rates (the province of Alberta with no retail sales tax being the sok exception) creating a complex two-tiered federal/ provincial sales tax nightmare in the stores for both mailers and con- sumers. This is how "simple" the GST will be. Thousands of smaller retailers, faced with the costly purchase of new cash register systems and even more hours of burdensome paperwork caused by the complexities of the GST; will be faced with unfair com- petition from large department stores which can much more easily absorb the extra cost. Having spent the money to acquire new cant register sys- tems capable of coping with two tar rates, retailers could then face the added expense of reversing the whole process should the federal GST be har- monized with the provinces. But, even worse for thousands of other small businesses, the demands on the cash register industry will be so great that not all firms will be able to get service by January of next year. And that will create absolute chaos at the cash register for these small businesses and con- sumers alike. This is how "fair" the GST will be As for Revenue Canada, they will see their ranks bloated by at least a feu thousand rookie bureaucrats charged with the complicated implementation and administration of the now infamous tax. Revenue Minister Jelinek thinks the tax will be so "workable' he is hiring ex - RCMP officers to enforce the new regulations. But perhaps the biggest he of this cynical initiative is the e irenchcd Jan. 1, 1991 deadline for implementation of the new tax. It is definitely not written in stone that the GST must be in effect by next New Year's Day. Where it is written. how- ever, is in the Mulroney govern- ment's pre-election blueprint whereby the Canadian voter will supposedly have "forgotten" the pain of the initial impact of the tax by election day—by which time the new revenues from the GST will have started to roll in. And one more he to add salt to the wound: a golden future painted by a blatantly manipu- lative television ad campaign where the GST makes the world a better place—brought to you by the federal government and bought by your own tax doilars. These arc just a few ecam- pks of 'the big lic'. well give you more in the next few weeks. CFIB F 0&jm 5«vcv Here and There Funding Extended For Tenants The provincial government will continue to fund an after- hours telephone Hotline for tenants in Metro Toronto, Frank Faubert, M-P.P. Scarborough Ellesmere says. "I think the services provided by the Hotline should be ac- cessible to as many tenants as possible," Mr. Faubert said. "With the funding now in place, tenants will have that extra support system should they have any questions or pro- blems. " Grant To Dance Festival Canada Dunce Festival Danse Canada has received a provincial grant of 575,000 to help mount a national dance festival scheduled to run in Ottawa June 23 to July 1. Northern Telecom has also contributed $75,000 to the festival which is entitled the Northern Telecom 1990 Canada Dance Festival in recognition of this major corporate spon- sor's contribution. Funding from the province and Northern Telecom will be used to help cover the artistic costs of the hundreds of Ontario dancers and choreographers who will participate in the festival. Answer On Seaton To the Editor I am writing in response to the letter written by Mr. Henry Stolp, chairman, SDC Development Corporation. Mr. Stolp was right when he wrote that, "There has been much confusion, ignorance and misunderstanding about the province's proposed development of the Seaton lands north of Pickering" - but this is changing. The government of Ontario has created a blueprint for a compact community that uses land wisely when it announc- ed recently that Seaton, an area in the Town of Pickering just northeast of Metropolitan Toronto, will eventually be home to 90,000 people. Right now, the land consists of 7,000 acres of provincial land populated by about 350 residents. As Mr. Stole points out, some people do regard this as just another idea from government that will never see the light of day. But those people are wrong. Work will begin as soon as possible to create a commnurni- ty that will be an example of the provincial government's commitment to our environment, such as with the en- couragement of the use of public transportation and reduc- tion of household waste. The first stage will house between 5,000 and 7,000 people. A wide variety of homes will be available to households of all incomes, including non-profit homes for tenants, starter homes for first-time buyers and others for second and third - time buyers. Homes will be available in a full range of prices and rents, with many sizes and types of homes available to suit families, senior citizens and single people. What is important here is that Seaton will be a compact community which allows for the most efficient use of land, water, energy and public transit. One way of conserving land may be to create narrower roadways and build sidewalks on a single side of the street. Water conservation maybe ensured by building stan- dards such as low -flow showerheads. Energy efficiency can be encouraged by implementation of standards for thermal energy efficiency. And to promote a cleaner emironment, in addition to recycling, reducing and reusing waste, local disposal will be promoted, as well as the use of public transit so that residents will be less dependent on their exhaust -producing automobiles. Mr. Stolp hits the nail on the head when he supposes that "Critics must criticize," and perhaps no one is more aware than the local MPP, but to those critics and opponents I will say this: Seaton will be a working model for the corning century of a community that is not only available to households of all incomes, but of one that is also emirontmemtally friendly. Yours sincerely, Christine E. Hart. bIPP York East Here and There $7.3 :Killion In Grants Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation Ken Blade has announced $7.3 million in grants for new and expanded recreation facilities across the province.

The Guild name became world renowned for the quality, originality and fine craftsmanship of the works created on its grounds. .Although The Guild no longer supports the vast colony of artists that it once did in years gone by, it still maintains, supports and strongly endorses the work of four artists, resident ar- tists of The Guild including Elizibeth Fraser William- son, sculptor in cement fon- due and clay; Dorsey James. sculptor in wood; Burt Winters, painter in watercolour; and Michael Clay, sculptor in stone and wood. They have worked and exhibited on The Guild grounds for more than a decade and maintain The Guild's standard for originality and fife craft- smanship in the fine arts.

May 16, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: Ballet is our personal favourite of the performing arts. We are quite content with repeated viewings of the classic works such as Swan Lake, Les Sylphides, Spectre de la Rose et al. Most of the newer works we find to be enjoyable at best but not really inspiring af- fection. Of course we're showing age but the "newer„ works don't seem to have the grand quality about them. How pleasant then to at- tend the National Ballet's premiere of James Kudelka's newest work. Pastorale and experience a surge of new found affec- tion. It is new but eschews novelty as it clings to the style of the masters whomever they might now be considered to be. Set to the music of Beethoven's beloved Symphony No.6, Opus 68 in F Major, it represents an afternoon in the country as enjoyed by aristocrats -probably of- ficers on furlough -and their ladies and by young people of the soil. The events are overseen by an enigmatic lady in black who might be reflecting upon lost love. There is no plot but each viewer will make his or her own determination of the amount of sexual congress if any. The music is, of course, superb, the concept mtniigw ung and the choreography well worthy of the con- siderable talent required to do it full justice.

A quartet of pas de deux is the challenge hurled at the dancers and beautifully met. It is not for us to say which couple impresses the most; we will only state that Martine Lamy and Serge Lavoie generated pastoral steam. Prior to the series, Guella Witkowsky as the Indy in Black danced a pas de cinq with the young gentleman. Such is her ex- pressive power that one could almost palpably feel the sexual tension rising. An octet of country folk dances joyously as does a group of youngsters poised on the brink of adolescence and ready for the pleasures of the flesh. (Truth is, our only real criticism of the work is the gently obscene gestures which these students of the National Ballet School are called upon to deliver. It's not of- fensive, mind you; only suggestive.) Quite charming are Vic- toria Bertram and Jacques Gorrisen as their bucolic parents, keepers most able and indeed willing to enjoy earthy pleasures themselves. The highlight of the work, however, is the final dance between Gizella Witkowsky and Serge Lavoie. This is truly in the grand manner and surely destined for separate inclu- sion in future recitals and competitions. We suggest though, that none will ap- proach the first time un- pact onpact of Miss Witkowsky and Serge Lavoie. In- croyable' We salute Mr. Kudel ka and now plead with him to turn his attention to the creation of a full lengttt ballet.

The evening ended with Glen Tetley's Voluntaries, a work in which fine danc- ing is wasted in almost vulgar displays of the human body. The body itself is anything but vulgar and should never be thought as sucb we hasten to add. Our use of the word is in reference to what we consider a vulgar waste of talent in inferior choreography. Relative age can learn from youth and we suggest that Mr. Tetley study close- ly losely the work of Mr. Kudelka and then turn his own ex- cellent talents in the same direction. Mr. T. was in the au- dience the night of our at- tendance and it seemed to us that he was looking quite thoughtful. Be encouraged Mr. Tetley; it is not too late. ON STAGE: Tempos fugit and its passage necessitates the following passage. Toward the close of World War I a group of front line Cana- dian soldiers were second- ed into an entertainment unit under the command of Captain Milton Plunkett. The group took its name from the misspelled divi- sion insignia and became The Dumbells. Wildly suc- cessful in wartime, it stayed together during the peace until 1931 playing the major theatres of North America. Now, The Legend of The Dumbells, fust presented at the Charlottetown Festival -1977 we believe -is on the final leg of a national tour and playing at the beautiful Winter Garden Theatre. You must see it! Now. one could write that it's necessary to see it because of its historical significance. We -e -e -el maybe; but we recommend it for sbeer entertainment value. The show is not without flaws, about the few of which, more later. but is in the main, two and a half tours of virtual non-stop entertainment featuring many of the grand old songs of W.W.I. That war, name notwithstanding, was not great but the songs that came out of it were. Not surprisingly the com- posers' names are not given in the program pro- bably because the songs are now in public domaine and there is no need. Pity. Among the more than two score songs are predic- tably, Pack Up Your Troubles, Tipperary; There's a Long, Long Trail; Mademoiselle from you know where; Roses of Picardy (written by Hayden Wood, my late step -father's boyhood churn); My Old Dutch; Oh, It's a Lovely War! and the unforgettable (we had wistfully thought) Wat- chman of the Night. The only major song missing is Ivor Novello's Keep the Home Fires Burn- ing, Mr. Novello died in 1948 and in 1977 his songs were still presumably under copywrite. All are performed well by a cast that is awesome (current buzzlelic O word) in individual and collective talent. They are as follows and, as ever, not necessari- ly in order of importance or Great Wail Graffiti Series Tracey Bowen has been enjoying a successful art career for several years. An accomplished Scar- borough artist, Bowen is a ,graduate of Fine Arts at York University and has participated in many shows and exhibits since 1962. She served as vice- president on the board of Ddrectos of Arts Scar- borough from 1966 to 1987 and is artist -in -residence at the Borden Business and Technical Institute. This spring she is prepar- ing to present a display of four panels entitled "The Great Wall Graffiti Series". This mixed media exhibit, inspired by images of Toronto's Chinatown, blends a number of visual elements to represent this busy and colourful area of Toronto. "I wanted to give the same impression as when you drive along Dundas Street quickly and all the things kind of blur together." says Bowen. "It is no specific thing, but a layering. To do this, I used a lot of Chinese newspapers, tissue and rice paper. Then I add Paint. You can also say it represents the many cultures we have in Canada, and how one is layered on the other... visit China. "Some day I'll Fo there," Bowen asserts, 'when things settle down a bit." The public can view Tracey Bowen's exhibit at Cedarbrae District Library, 545 Markham Rd. from May 7th to June 4th. For more details call 431-2222. 1990 Basya Hunter Series Leah Posluns Theatre is presenting the 1990 Basya hunter Playreading Series to be held at the Leah Posluns Studio Theatre on May 14th, May 28th and June 11th at 7:30 p.m. En- trance is free but reserva- tions are appreciated. The Basya Hunter Playreading series was created to develop and en- courage new plays by serious playwrights. The format of the evening is a playreading followed by a public forum and refreshments. May ?8th the play will be "Bitter Friends" with playwright Gordon Rayfield and directed by Jordan Merkur.

Our apologies if we have missed anyone because all surely deserve individual mention. The talent is about half and half divided between singing and dancing and on the night of our attendance the dancing won out marginally. And now we must address the few faults in the show, at least for the present and ignoring historical inaccuracies completely. The performers are not miked. This is possible in a theatre such as the Winter Garden acoustically designed for the natural voice. Regrettably, the pit band still seems to think it's playing for miked singers and frequently drowns them out. We're sure this has been cor- rected by now but it was a tad annoying on opening night. As well, Director Alan Lund seems to have forgot- ten that the Winter Garden is not the Charolottetown theatre and excessive gestures and posturing are not needed in the intimate surroundings of the former. Truthfully, they look almost amateurish which must be an embar- rassment to a cast of coo- sumate professionals. These are easily correcti- ble faults and, we are sure, no longer in evidence. So go see The Dumbells-you have only until May 26th -and en- joy. AL FRESCO: Well, Ontario Place opens tomorrow and once again there is an exciting array of entertainment lin- ed up for The Forum and The Island Club. We'll be mentioning the various at- tractions throughout the season but wish to mention just a few at this time for reasons that should become apparent. Next Monday it's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur- tle Live Slow in The Pizza Party Caper. We have no idea what it is going to be like but it is to be presented at 11 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. at The Forum. Kowabunga! On Wednesday the On- tario Place Pops Orchestra will present Garfield the Cat with full orchestration. Again, we have no idea what it's all about but if it features everybody's favourite feline then it has to be good. We'll be there! And, as always there will be Last Night of the Proms, conducted this year by Michael Lankester. FAST EXIT: With apologies to Boulay de la Marthe, "War is worse than a crime; it is a blunder". Wed. May 16, 1990 THE NEWS/POST Page 7 United Church Conference In PickeringMay 25 - 27 The 66th annual meeting of Toronto Conference of The United Church of Canada will be held May 25-27, at the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Road, Picker- ing. About 550 delegates from 350 congregations will con- sider 61 resolutions and petitions calling for action by the Conference of the up -coming General Council in August in London, Ont. Of the 39 petitions to the General Council level of the church, roughly 25 relate to the church's 1988 statement "Membership, Ministry Environmental Groups To Spend Over $650 000 The Black Creek Project, a local citizen's group, and the Conservation Council of Ontario have joined farces to rehabilitate and enhance one of the Greater Toronto Area's most polluted streams - the Black (geek. The demonstration project will also show other urban communities throughout Ontario how to manage ur- ban streams. The two will be spending over x,000 dur- ing the next two years on four demonstration pro- jects to rehabilitate and renaturalize the Black Creek into a healthy, natural environment. The projects include: stream bank erosion con- trol using aesthetically designed rip rap (broken rock, cobble or boulders) and vegetative bank stabilization techniques; a reforestation program for the entire watershed using Design Innovation Awards Go To Students Michael Fane (of Scar- borough), Ross McGtnrin (of Ajax) and Steve Hayhoe (of Schomberg), a team of third year Centen- nial College architectural technololgy students, tied with a Ryerson group for Ontario's Design Innova- tion Award in the '89/90 R-2000 Student Design Challenge April 19. All Ontario post- secondary students were eligible to submit designs for single-family detached Centennial -Rouge United Church by lyn Dempsey The eregular meeting of Centennial -Rouge United Church Women was held the evening of Tues. May 9th. Joyce Helyar, presi- dent, presided and Jessie Bartley acted in the absence of the secretary. Doreen Burton led the worship service giving us the thought that God's love is not a handicap. When one is loved that person has you in his thoughts constantly and cares about you. God, too, gives His Love to each of us, just as He gave His love to the disciples at Pentecost and n their lives. We were left with the thought that God accepts us as we are and where we are. Shirley van Putten, a Tupperware agent attend- ed the meeting and displayed the products and gave a demonstration us- ing the Tupperware uten- sils in a microwave oven. She prepared three foods: chicken, rice and apple crisp - At the conclusion of the business session everyone enjoyed sampling the prepared food and other refreshments supplied by Tillie Anderson and Eve Forster. The meeting clos- edbyrepeatirig the Mizpah Benediction - The next meeting of the United Church Women will be a dinner meeting at the home of Anne Chil- homes to meet the R -MM federal energy perfor- mance standard. The com- petition has been sponsored since 1985 by the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Select Homes Designs of Van- couver, and Fiberglass Can. of Toronto. "Centennial's technician and tecnbology programs are one of the best kept secrets in southern On- tario," says engineering technology dean Bob Chap- man. The $1,500 prise will be used, together with last year's $4,000 prime, to pur- chase much-needed capital items for the architectural department's new space. Hot on the heels of this success is the news that David Genesse (of Whitby) won a silver medal in the 1990 Ontario Skills Olym- pics CAD (computer- assisted drafting) competi- tion on April 21. The CAD prize inchdes a medal for the student, the school, and the teacher, as well as several items of autoC,AD software to make Centennial's system even more up-to-date.

Ikebana Is Japanese Art Of Flower Arrainging "Ikebana" is known to peoprle as a traditional an of flower arranging, born and cultivated in Japan. This art is typically Japanese repenting the time hollowed tradition of Japan. There have been flower the attars of Shinto and Buddhist temples in an- cient tines. The flower ar- rangements as they were cannot be called Ikebana". In short, we may set the point of depar- ture of "Dwbana" at the time when there arose a clear intention to decorate the living environment with flowers and to ap- preciate them by adding varices ideas. The forms of .•Ikebana., vary aceor thing to the age and character of the artist. The essence, however, lies constant and this is namely the spirit or idea of .'Ikebana'.. If you come across an arrangement not agreeable or old fashioned to you, it is not the spirit but the characteristic of that particular arrange- ment or school that does not match your taste. The spirit under which the Sogetsu School was born was to create "Ikebana" that matches actual life, something that deserves the name of art. It is to be fresh, vital, and dynamic. Various poses of flowers and trees in their infinite beauty, variable according to the seasons; abundant creative ideas; and the beauty of vessels in their environment - these three elements combined make the "lkebana" of the Sogetsu School. Sofu Teshigahara was the founder of the Sogetsu School in the early 19th cen- tury. The spirit through art moved with the tinges and has been a true reflection of the new Japan. Mr. Teshigahara named the school "Sogetsu", the Chinese Characters mean- ing Grass -Moon, an an which encompasses the operintm of the universe. There are branches and study groups of Sogetsu School all over the world. It started in Toronto under the leadership of Mus. Kyoko Abe, who received her training and teaching cbpkmm in Japan. The members of the Sogetsu Ikebana Toronto East Chapter are from many cultural backgrounds but share common interest. They have been studying Sogetsu Ikebana and form - ed the wrom to further their knor`ge by having workshops. exchanging ek- periencesand sharing their creations at the annual flower show.

Rella Braithwaite Addresses- Centennial Rouge Women by Evelyn Dempsey Rella Braithwaite, author and investigative journalist on the history of black people in Canada, and. dressed the meeting of the Centennial Rouge United Church Women, Highland Creek, Apr. 10. Mrs. Braithwaite, who is originally from Listowel, Ontario has lived in Highland Creek with her husband, Bob, and family since the war. Tracing the settlement of black people in Canada from 1629, Mrs. Braithwaite said many were slaves who accom- panied the United Empire Loyalists at the time of the American Revolution. Later there was the underground railway, a System of protesting and moving slaves secretly from the United States into the Windsor -Chatham area, St. Catherines and Owen Sound. Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1834. Rella Braithwaite found that there was a lack of in- formation on black heroes in Canada. In research she observed there had been in- ventors and professional people of great merit. At this time it is important to learn about these people of leadership in order to por- tray them as role models. Her forebears came to the Elmira area as settlers in the wilderness to a place called Queensbush in 1814. They had been assisted in their migration by the Quakers, sometimes known as Pennsylvania Dutch. Many of the neighbours at Queensbush were Mennonites and suc- ceeding generations of black people spoke Ger- man fluently. The black people have suffered discrimination in various ways for many years. But in the 1960's there was an upsurge of public opinion both in the acceptance of black people and in creating legislation ensuring basic human rights. This has enabled black people to participate in all aspects of Canadian life. Lieutenant -Governor of Ontario, the Hon. Lincoln Alexander, was the first black person to be elected to the Canadian House of Commons in 1968. The speaker emphasized the importance of all peo- ple to assume their rightful responsibility for others in the building of the Cana- dian Nation. Accompanying Mrs. Braithwaite at the meeting were her sisters, Rev. Ad- die Aylestock, first black woman minister in Canada and Dorothy of Toronto. In thanking Rella, Evelyn Dempsey referred to her address as an in- spirational insight into the contribution of black pear pie to Canadian Society, Doreen Burton, who in- troduced Rella Braithwaite, invited the au- etience to watch for Mrs. Braithwaite's new book, "Still We Survive", a b�lhY of the lives of black women.

If the system is reasonable, the board notes that it could be enforced without much additional cost to the public and at no great inconvenience to new drivers. The board wishes to ensure that the casts in- curred in implementing such a system are not ex- cessive. Bill 108, the Business Names Act, 1989 Commenting on Bill 106, implementing proposals for a new Business Names Act, the board notes that a nurnber of its recommen- dations have been incor- porated into the text of the Bill ( "Proposed Business Names Act" March 31, 1988). However, the board also notes that a number of recommendations have not been taken into the Bill, and requests reconsidera- tion of them. Among the latter is a recommendation by the board that the registration requirements of partnerships with a large number of partners be limited to, say, ten part- ners.

Usually in my column, I discuss an issue which I believe will be of interest to the constituents of Ontario Riding and mention some of the community events which I have at- tended. Due to the number of local events that I have been fortunate enough to take part in this month, some have not been able to fit in my column. In this week's column I would hke to give mention to those events which did not receive adequate space in my column. Apr. 25th was McHappy Day all across Canada. It was a pleasure serving hamburgers in Whitby, Ajax and Picker- ing, in an effort to raise money for a variety of kid's charities. After a close and heated race, the Ajax McDonald's came out the biggest fund-raiser when it was all over. The Hon. Michael Wilson was in Ontario Riding on April 20th to discuss the Goods and Services Tax with a number of constituents. Mr. Wilson and I met with a number of On- tario Riding farmers to discuss the inherent benefits of the GST related to them specifically. The Finance Minister also spoke to a joint meeting of the Whitby Chamber of Com- merce and the Ajax -Pickering Board of Trade. On Fri. Mar. 30th. I had the pleasure of participating in the expansion ceremonies of Pickering's Chart Industries Ltd., one of the world's largest suppliers of collision repair equipment. This ceremony represented my fifth opportuni- ty in the last year to take part in opening and expansion ceremonies which the companies involved claimed were, in part. a direct result of the Canada -U.S. Free Trade Agree- ment. Chart Industries is now realizing the benefits of the FTA and is demonstrating confidence to invest in their future and that of Ontario Riding. The Hon. Otto Jelinek was also on hand to congratulate Chart and used the opportunity to announce the impkwwn- tation of an agreement between Canada and the United States to accelerate the elimination of tariffs under the FTA on more than 400 items. Over the course of the month I had the opportunity to pre- sent various High Schools with Canada Scholarship Pro- gram citations. These citations are awarded on the basis of academic performance at the secondary level and they pro- vide up to $8,000 over four years to students pursuing degrees in science, engineering and related disciplines. As we approach another school year end, 1 would naturally en- courage students to try and take advantage of this scholar- ship program - Durham Region District Health Council News Guidelines on Presenta- tions to Council A draft set of guidelines has been developed for organizations, agencies, in- dividuals, etc. who wish to make an oral or written presentation to the District Health Council.
