Keep Up The Forces
by Bob Watson
We notice that Defence Minister Bill McKnight is quoted
as saying that the government cannot justify current
defence spending in a time of economic difficulty! And he
suggests that there could be cuts in funding for personnel,
operations, maintenance and new equipment.
Well, that is just great. Here we are next to the United
States and almost letting it look after our defence now. We
have very minimum numbers and equipment in our
defence forces and this government is suggesting defence
cuts!
To meet the deficit of the federal government we believe
that defence cutting should be near the bottom of the list.
Let's put the cost of half a million civil servants first. This
group's number could be cut drastically if the government
streamlined its operations. For example, the government is
spending about a billion dollars right now on the GST set-
ting up a huge staff to send cheques back to citizens who
qualify for rebates. Any intelligent government would
create a tax that is efficient and economical to collect and
administer. The GST concept is the most expensive ever.
Canada's armed forces require a consistent backing by
the government to keep it in top shape militarily as well as
with great morale for its personnel. Cutting its budget
would kill morale and that would be very stupid, in our opi-
nion.
Young Offenders Act
Dear Sir:
I read with interest the letter of Mr. Gordon Doman with
regards to some revisions that are proposed to the Young
Offenders Act through Bal C-58.
It is clearly the intention of the Government to make it
possible to put "young offenders" into adult court more
readily than is presently the case. Under the current cir-
cumstance, if a youthful offender is charged with first and
second degree murder, judges are reluctant to send this
young offender to adult court because of the very severe
penalties that are associated with that crime, should the of-
fender be found guilty.
Our amendments to the bill make it possible for the judge
to send the youthful offender to adult count because we have
now made it possible for that youthful offender to qualify
for parole a little more easily than the adult offender.
If we do as you request and not approve Bill C-58. the
lower sentences that you are complaining about will in ef-
fect, be the reality because the judges will refuse to send
the young offender to the adult court and therefore, they
will qualify for a maximum of only 3 years in detention.
Our proposal With Bal C-58 can put these people into adult
court where they will qualify for 10 or 25 years in prison and
even if they are paroled a little earlier than the norm, they
will still serve far more than the three years as you indicate
in the letter.
So, instead of lobbying against the amendments to the
Young Offenders Act, you in your organization, should be
very clearly supporting the changes we are making so that
young offenders who deserve more than 3years, in fact, end
up with more than 3 years in prison.
Clearly, you should be supporting Bill C-58 if you do, in
fact. believe tougher penalties for yang offenders.
Sincerely,
Rene Soetens,
Member of Parliament

To Commemorate Canada's Efforts In the Se-
cond World War
Four 39 -cent commemorative pis the second set in a
seven-year series. are being issuedby Canada Post Cor
poration Nov. 9, in conjunction wrath mrembrance Day.
These stamps. which mark Canada's contribution to the
Allied effort during the Second World War, depict the
mobilization of Canada's resources on the homefront. They
feature scenes of the family. the community, food produc-
tion and scientific research.
With the fall of France in the spring of 1940, the Second
World War had begun in earnest. Canadians everywhere,
whether on the battlefront or at home, knew they would
have to do their share to help win the war.
As thousands left for overseas, their loved ones took their
ace. The efforts made by Canadians on the homefront
quite literally, at home. Knitted socks and sweaters
were sent to bombed -out families in Britain. Garbage was
saved for recycling. Entire communities pulled together by
organizing scrap lives to collect anything of possible use:
paper. rags. metal, glass, rubber and even bones. People
everywhere were forming car pools to conserve gasoline,
tsohrayring housing, buying Victory bonds and cultivating vic-
Whatt was grown in these backyards was used to help
meet the enormous demand for food. Farriers suddenly
found themselves having to feed not only Canadians but the
Allies as well. Under the control of a special Cabinet com-
mittee. food production was greatly increased, despite the
scarcity of farmers and machinery.
Many Candians applied their scientific and technical ex-
pertise to the war effort. The National Research Council
turned its talents to developing new weapons, while doctors
and scientists worked with their Allied counterparts to
carne up with inventions that in some way would hdp win
the war. All the while. the war machine was being fed by
Canadian Industry, which had been revolutionized by C.D.
Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply, to satisfy the over-
whelming demand for military equ ipmnent. Factories
across the country took on willing workers, most of whom
were women, many of them wonting outside the home for
the first time.
About The Stamps
'puree of the four stamps graphically depict the changes
at home as a result of men being called to war: a family
gathered in a living room without the father, women
volunteers assembling packages for overseas, and worsen
harvesting food in the fields.
The fourth stamp portrays a person in human centrifuge
during the testing of the anti -gravity night suit, one of
Canada's scientific developments during the war.
Designed by Pierre -Yves Pelletier of Montreal, the
stamps are based on illustrations by Jean-Pierre Arman-
ville, also of Montreal. A total of 15 million stamps have
been printed in five -colour lithography by Ashton -Potter
limited, Toronto.
Irish Terrorists
It seems ridiculous that the British government doesn't
deal a tougher hand against the IRA terrorists who have
once again killed a group of British soldiers. With no death
penalty these Irish terrorists, if caught, merely get confine-
ment in a prison. The people they kill all have weeping
family members. In our opinion, all terrorists should be ex-
ecuted for killing innocent citizens.
And we suggest that the Pope condemn these miserable
people who seem to enjoy killing these human beings.
The 44 contestants from all across Canada here in Scar-
borough to compete for the coveted title of "Miss Canada
1991' spent a busy week before the pageant.
On Mon. Oct. 22nd a lunch was held at the Radisson Hotel,

New Electric Rate Up 8.6%
Ontario Hydra's electricity prices will increase an
average of 8.6 percent next year, Robert Franklin, Hydra's
President and Chief Executive Officer, announced today.
"I said at the beginning of our rate review process last
sprung that Hydro would be unable to keep the 1991 increase
in line with previous increases,.. Franklin said.
'"Rhe pressures on Hydra's costs were considerable then,
and are even stronger now," he said.
"Ile main pressure. then and now, is the cost of bringing
new generating and transmission facilities into service.
Other pressures include increased spending on en-
vironmental protection, the upfront costs of energy effi-
ciency programs, and a requirement for additional pension
funding...
Some costs will be higher than forecast last spring,
especially wages and equipment rehabilitation costs,
Franklin said. "Reese added casts, plus Canada's hi in-
terest rate policy. have driven the increase up by almost
one percent since last March."
Looking ahead, Hydra's President and CEO said he was
also concerned about the impact of events in the Middle
East, including the rising price of oil, and noted that the
federal Goods and Services Tax, zone it is passed and
carries into effect, will increase the consumer's cost of elec-
tricity still further.
For most of the province's 312 municipal utilities, the
average utility increase of 8.7 percent will man individual
increases ranging from 8 to 9 percent. The utilities deter-
mine the price they charge their customers by adding On-
tario Hydros charges to local costs.
The electricity bills of the almost 2.3 million Ontario
customers served by municipal utilities now average just
over $65 a month. Those currently paying this amount will
pay about $4.50 to $6. more per month as a result of the On-
tario
Raates four industrial customers served directly by Ontario
Hydro will increase by an average of 7.8 percent. Rural
customer served directly by Ontario Hydra will see an
average increase of 8.7 percent.
Actual increases vary from customer to customer depen-
ding ns
on consumption patterns, transmission delivery costs
and various other factors.
In its August report, the Ontario Energy Board recom-
mended a 7.8% increase, the figure Hydro had originally
proposed. Franklin said the increase reflects acceptance of
most of the Energy Board's recommendations.
In the 17 years the Ontario Energy Board has been
reviewing electricity rates, this is the fifth time that
Hydra's final increase has been higher than the Board's
recommendation. It has been below the recommendation
six times, and they were identical six times.
STATFACTS
In the decade since 1979-80, Statistics Canada figures
how, net profits flowing to provincial liquor authorities
have increased an average of 7% each year.
For the most recent 10 -year period, Statistics Canada
figures show, the volume of beer sold has increased an
average of I% each year.

Heart & Stroke Needs
$222,000 Funds Raised
The Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Ontario is to
provide funds appropriate
for research and education
to reduce death and
disability from heart
disease and stroke. This
year the Scarborough
Chapter's fundraising goal
is o22,000.

nual revenues are raised
through four key fundrais-
ing programs: Person -to -
Person Giving Campaign
in February; Bequests and
Memorial Programs;
Direct Mail and Special
Events.
Person -to -Person
the Person -to -Person Giv-
ing Campaign is the most
labour-intensive, requiring
an estimated manpower of
over 4,000 volunteers to act
as resident chairs, zone
chairs, area chairs, cap-
tains and canvassers.
Its success is very depen-
dent on detailed planning,
good organizational skills
and close co-operation at
all levels of the canvass
structure.
Heart -at -Work
The Heart and Stroke
Foundation will initiate an
office campaign to cater to
potential donors who are
rarely at hone when can-
vassers call.
Companies will be coo-
tacted and asked to par
ticipate by having
employees act as can-
vassers in the firm's
various departments.
Dear Neighbour

Neighbour' volunteer pro -
grain is basically tradi-
tional canvassing, but with
a personal touch.
Each volunteer receives
a package which includes
prewritten letters,
envelopes, return
envelopes and an address
listing. The volunteer will
then address all of the
envelopes and after per-
sonally signing each letter,
drop them in the mailbox.
This program is effective
for those residential areas
that have little, if any
coverage during the door-
to-door campaign, and the
program is not limited to
February.

Other options include
Phoners - volunteers phone
from home or in the Scar-

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON RECORD:
It was Artie Shaw who
first articulated the down
side of extended play recor-
dings. When most recor-
dings were three minutes
long, the orchestra and
singer had to get in, get
down, get dirty and get out
.. in 180 seconds.
This led to tight, ar-
ticulate arrangements and
disciplined performances.
It also kept the listener
from boredom.
Mr. Shaw's observations
were going through our
greying head while at Sut-
ton Place recently to see
and hear Sonya Papp in-
troduce Destiny, her latest
album for Artiste Records.
She is a nubile youngster
(her bio says she's
seventeen -well, maybe)
and seems to have a
pleasantly powerful voice.
Regrettably, it's not well
served by her material, nor
by the arrangements of
same.
Destiny is what we
believe is now called a
dance album, meaning, one
supposes. that when one
wearies of listening to Miss
Papp, it's in order to get up
and dance or, at least, go
through those motions that
are now accepted as danc-
ing-
And, truth to tell, Destiny
does become boring. What
is at fust an infectious
beat, soon becomes
repetitive and then
downright relentless. As
well, there seems to be no
discipline of construction in
the compositions. None
have a definite ending; all
just fade out with
repetitious chord lines. As
Artie Shaw observed,
"they just fade away"
It would be nice to say
that after listening to
Destiny, one is sated and
Ksome are. We,
however, were merely
bored. That's too bad
because Sonya Papp is a
nice, young girl with talent
and she deserves
something better for her ef-
forts.
We wish the young lady
well and hope we're wrong
about Destiny but we don't
think it's going to make it.
Miss Papp is young
however and there will be
other opportunities.

THE FUREYS:
We're not announcing a
gathering of family for the
former head of the Na-
tional Film Board. No, the
Fureys here refer to the
Irish folk music group
which is appearing this
Saturday at Massey Hall.
Davey Arthur and The

we believe to be their first
local appearance.

THE SMOOTHIES:
It had to happen one sup-
poses. The Guy Lombardo
Orchestra has been
reconstructed. Yes, the
Royal Canadians are back,
under the direction of Al
Pierson and will be appear-
ing at Roy Thomson Hall on
Nov. 23rd.
The Lombardo charts
are well constricted and
relatively easy for stilled
musiciamr to follow. So, the
sound of the Royal Cana-
dians can be reproduced
and, we imagine, with con-
siderable
oo-siderable fidelity.
We cannot see, however
how anyone can even ap-
proximate the sweet sax-
ophone so:uhds of Carmen
Lombardo, nor the pure
trumpet of his brother
Lebert.
And where is there a
singer with the distinct
sound of Kenny Gardner or
even Carmen Lombardo?
To try and imitate the lat-
ter singing solo is only
caricaturish.
And finally. there has

never been anyone quite
like Guy Lombardo himself
as a front man. His broad
smile and charming man-
ner with audiences were
guaranteed to produce and
radiate good feelings.
Of course we intend to be
at Roy Thomson Hall and
are certain we'll enjoy the
performance. But, ob how
we will miss the originals!
Dark glasses will be de
rigeur to hide the tears
we're sure will flow.
THE BEAUTIES:
By the time this appears
In print the new Miss
Canada will have been
selected. We wish her well
in the strenuous year that
lies ahead of her.
We were present at the
first media luncheon for
the contestants held at The
Radisson -Don Valley and
once again were reminded
of the relationship between
beauty and intelligence. In-
telligent people are not
always beautiful but
beautiful people are always
intelligent.
We were seated between
Mirra Ann Simrak. Miss
Sarnia and a knockout dou-
ble for actress Katy Jurado
and Catherine Lesiw, Miss
Interior of B.C. and a dou-
ble for an early love of
outs, Nancy Chisholm.
Both young ladies are ar-
ticulate and charming. As
well, they possess a natural
grace, not the stuff injected
in a modelling school but
real grace of carriage and
character.
There are those who are
inclined to downgrade the
Miss Canada Pageant and
that is their privilege. Do
not, however, think of the
contestants as mere bun -
bas. These are intelligent
young ladies worthy of sup-
port and encouragement.
Go get 'em tigresses!
THE BEASTS:
We rather much enjoyed
the recent presentation of
Mame at The O'Keefe and
starring Juliet Prowse. It
most certainly wasn't land-
mark entertainment but it
was bright. glitzy and
everything that a touring
musical should be.
After riding the criti-
ques, however, of Twit
Agnerway and ever more
Wilder Enfieldpay, we feel
obliged to offer the follow-
ing.
ollowing. Did they go to see
Mame at The 9 Keefe or go
to the O'Keefe to maime?
Sad.
ON SCREEN:
Memphis Belle ( Warner
Brothers) is an interesting
enough motion picture
about the crew of a Flying
Fortess in World War II.
We say interesting enough
in qualification because we
saw the original Memphis
Belle. It was a documen-
tary by Robert Wise and
most compelling.
All the special effects in
the world can't take the
place of the real thing and
the current Memphis Belle
is doomed to pale in com-
parison.
Still, younger readers
and viewers might well en-
joy it.

In an effort to curb these
recent trends and to underscore
the importance of fire safety
awareness, Eveready Batteries
is sponsoring the annual
"Change Your Clock, Change
Your Battery" program, with
the endorsement of the
Canadian Association of Fire
Chiefs, the Association of Fire
Marshals and the Fire Commis-
sioners.
"The national education
campaign encourages the public
to change their smoke alarm
batteries in the fall when they
change their clocks back to
standard time," says Eveready
co -spokesperson Lanny
McDonald, former Captain and
now Vice -President of the Cal-
gary Flames. Adds co -
spokesperson Sylvie Bernier,
Olympic gold medalist in
diving, "If you've taken the
trouble to install a smoke alarm,
make sure it works. And make
sure you know what to do when
you hear that alarm."
The annual reminder serves
to underscore the need for
routine smoke detector main-
tenance. Fire officials say a
working smoke alarm can
double the chances of surviving
a fire by providing critical early
warning and escape time.
"If your smoke alarm is
battery operated, replace the
battery at least once a year or
when it's low — don't just re-
move it. With no battery a
smoke alarm is powerless to
save your life." said Marcel
Ethier, Executive Director,
Canadian Association of Fire
Chiefs.

How To Influence, Persuade & Negotiate
How much do people
remember you? What kind
of first impression do you
make?
Vince DaCosta addresses
these questions and others
during his Interpersonal

Did you know that 85% of
your success as an en-

Gathering Of The Clans
In Nova Scotia 1991
The flavor of old Scotland
will bubble to the top of
Nova Scotia's cultural
mosaic next year as the
province hosts - for the
fourth time - The Interna-
tional Gathering of the
Glans.
This province -wide
celebration promises to at-
tract thousands of Scots
from around the globe for a
summer -long celebration
of festivals, gatherings,
community events and
highland games.
Nova Scotia has been a
haven for Scottish culture
ever since "The Hector"
landed in Pictou in 1773
with a boat load of highland
refugees to start the wave
of Scottish migration that
has has such a profound ef-
fect on the history and
heritage of the province.
Since that time, many
Nova Scotian of Scottish
descent have distinguished
themselves in the fields of
business, politics, and
education.
More importantly, the
descendants of these Scot-
tish pioneers worked to
maintain the culture and
customs of their homeland
so that today many areas of
Nova Scotia are more Scot-
tish than Scotland itself.
Around the Iona area of
Cape Breton Island some
residents still speak Gaelic
and the village is the loca-
tion of the Nova Scotia
Highland Village. a
museum complex which
tells the story of Nova
Scotia's Scots from the
days of the early pioneers
to the settlements of the
late 19th century.
Not far from Iona at St.
Ann's is the Nova Scotia
Gaelic College of Celtic
Arts and Crafts. the only
such institution in North
America where Gaelic
language and music such
as bagpipiing are taught.
And in the mainland town
of Antigomsh, the oldest
highland games in North
America, dating to 1869,
are held every summer.
The 1991 International
Gathering of the Clans will
focus on these and other
elements of Scottish
culture. There will be plen-
ty of music, song, competi-
tions, sports events and
clan gatherings.

Already, more than 40
different festivals are plan-
ned for the '91 Gathering of
We Clans in Nova Scotia.
The opening ceremonies
will be held at the Halifax
Metro Centre during the
opening night of the Nova
Scotia International Tat-
too. The 1991 Tattoo, a two-
hour entertainment ex-
travaganza, will feature a
Scottish theme in honor of
the international gather-
ing-
Over the years, many im-
migrants from Scotland
have distinguished
themselves in Nova Scotia.
One of those was
Reverend Thomas Mc-
Culloch who arrived in Pic-
tou in 1[103 to start a career
that included medicine,
religion and education. His
founding of Pictou College
in 1816 marked him as the
Father of Liberalized
Education System in Nova
Scotia. He was an avid
naturalist whose collection
of bird specimens promp-
ted a visit from the famous
J.J. Audubon who pro-
nounced his collection the
finest of its kind in North
America. His home in Pic-
tou "Sherbrooke Cottage..
is now a provincial
museum open during the
sutnmer months.
Another noted Scot was
the Cape Breton giant,
Amus MacAskill who mov-
ed from the Scottish
Hebrides to Nova Scotia
with his family as a six-
year-old in 1831, and
developed into a seven -
foot, nine -inch, 425 pound
gentle giant with tremen-
dous strength that flowed
across an enormous
shoulder spread of three
feet, eight inches.
He toured Canada. the
United States, the West In-
dies and Europe as a
member of P.T. Barnum's
Circus. He died at the age
of 38 at St. Ann's, Cape
Breton, where today a
small display of his
clothing, some
photographs and some of
his furniture can be seen at
a museum in Englishtown.
Perhaps Nova Scotia's
best known Scot was an
American from
Washington, D.C. who only
came in the summer, but
whose brilliance is still
part of everyday life
around the world. Alex-
ander Graham Bell, born in
Edinburgh, citizen of the
United States and inventor
of the telephone spent the
last 32 summers of his life
at his family retreat, Beinn
Bhreagh, near Baddeck.
Nova Scotia. Here, Bell
continued his experimental
ways - from kites to
airplanes, hydrofoils to
iron lungs - and a museum
in his honour, the Alex-
ander Graham Bell Na-
tional Historic Park, is a
popular tourist attraction
in Baddeck.
No doubt the spirit of
those Scottish pioneers will
pervade the ceremonies
surrounding the 1991 Inter-
national Gathering of the

Figs find a niche amidst growing interest in nutrition
Spiced Fig Compote
Growing consumer concern
about the nutritional value of
the foods we eat has resulted in
a search for natural, nutritious
alternatives. As a consequence,
the fig is enjoying a resurgence
in popularity among North
Americans. This is hardly sur-
prising since dried figs are a
high source of fibre. calcium.
roo and potassium as well as
many otber vitamins and miner -
ah important to a healthy life-
style.
"The taste and nutritmoal
value of figs are making them
mcrasiagly popular. Figs arc
now being used in so malty
ways that it is hard to keep up
with the inventiveness of the
average consumer," says
Noreen Griffee. Director of
Consumer Services for Valley
Fig Growers cooperative, which
produces Blue Ribbon Figs in
California.
The two most common varie-
ties of dried figs are the Mis-
sion, a dark-flesbed fig with a
swoet. hearty flavor. and the
Calimvrna, which is amber -
colored and has a nutlike flavor.
The rich texture of the fig, a
characterism which adds to its
enjoyment, is also the quality
which makes it an excellent
source of dietary fibre. One cup
(250 mL) of dried figs provides
9.54 grams of fibre, making
them the leader in fibre over
more than 100 other fruits. Al-
though there is no specific rec-
ommended daily intake for
fibre, there is evidence to show
that diets with a high fibre con-
tent reduce the risk of heart
disease and certain cancers.
Those on a potassium -rich
diet or those who simply want
to suppkment their daily intake
of potassium can add figs to
their diet. With 712 milligrams
for every 100 grams, the fig
outranks other potassium -rich
fruits such as the buena (3%
mg) and the orange (181 mg).
Figs are an important source
of calcium. One hundred grams
of figs will provide 144 milli-
grams of calcium or about 20
per cent of the daily require-
ment for an adult woman.
Figs are also high in am and
have a taste and texture that are
much more appealing than other
high -iron foods like lima bans
or liver. One hundred grams of
dried figs provides about 15 per
cent of the adult daily rtquire-
mcat of iron.
The only dried figs in the
world packed year-round arc
California figs One hundred
per cert of the U.S. dried fig
production cones from the cen-
tral valley of California. In Cal-
ifornia orchards, the fruit is al-
lowed to ripen on the trcc until
late August to ensure maximum
flavor. The figs then drop onto
a specially prepared soil surface
