Dec 12th at 11 a.m. Dunbarton High School Notes by Tom Docherty This past week at Dun- barton was one of the most important dates in the school year for graduating students. Last Friday was the last day to send Ontario university application forms to the Ontario Universities' Application Centre in Guelph. Each student is entitled to three choices of Ontario universities they would like to attend next fall. In February, an amendment form is sent back to students to make any necessary changes to the application. In April, semiester one marks and mid-term semester two marks are sent with the ap- plication to the student's desired universities. It is a common misconception that the application goes directly to the universities. It actually goes only a a central computer in Guelph and is sorted. It costs $18 to have this done so the universities can get the ap- plication without any Another event was "'lite Great Cookie Crusade", which ended Mon. Dec. 3rd. Dunbarton students were asked to sell boxes of Selec- tion creme cookies as part of a fundraiser for the school.. Money raised goes towards new bleachers for the football field. We would like to thank those who sup- ported Dunbarton High, and won't those cookies be a special treat this Christmas! In conjunction with the Cootie Crusade the Student Activity Council held a "milk chug -a -lug" contest in the cafeteria. Relay teams battled against each other to see which team could get each member to guzzle their milk down, finish a cookie and whistle in rapid succession first. It was pretty rowdy, but a lot of fun to watch. Loot for an article on girls' sports at Dunbarton next week in this space.

However, now that we have heard from former Tory cabinet minister Sinclair Stevens about the secret deal to keep our dollar value high for the benefit of Americans. it seems more understandable although we disagree strongly With keeping interest rates high and our dollar high com- pared to the U.S. dollar. We still believe our econommy would improve rapidly if Mr. Crow of the Bank of Canada would announce that the in- terest rate is going down one percent each week until it is 61n' Let's work for Canadians -riot anyone else' Native Self -Government by Bob Watson We don't agree with the native peoples wi'ren they say that they want all the "goodies" from the Canadian society. can work and earn money in this society and not pay income taxes.

This doesn't quite fit in with the native peoples %sew which is to have complete control of their lives but also live on the cash (which we don't have) that the rest of tis supply to the federal and provincial governments via taxes.

Mainstream Canada Eight reasons for delaying the GST By Terry oSAtaug nessy The furious debate over the federal government's proposed Goods and Services Tax has. at time, threatened to overtake the bottom -lite opposition surrounding this tax. But with the GST implementation date (Jan. 1. 1991) drawing ever closer this opposition has taken on a new urgmcy as Canadians, feeling completely alienated from their government, face the daunting prospect of this complok and costly new tax. Catherine Swift, vice presi- dent and chief economist of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, says that the difficulties created by the severely -flawed GST are convincing arguments to delay the fast -approaching implementation. "The combination of a bad tax at a bad time," says Swift, ..will be so debilitating, the government should quickly realize that a delay is the only course of action." Swift puts forth the follow- ing reasons for delaying the GSI`. 1) There must be further federal/provincial negotiations towards a joint tax collection and revenue-sharing agreement (similar to that which took place in Quebec) before the complex GST can be considered workable; 2) The economy must be stabilized. As the country enters a recession compounded by high interest rates and a high dollar, the GST will only serve to farther dampen consumer spending. The federal govern- ment must lower both interest rates and the dollar so that the shock of the GST's intro- duction can be more easily absorbed: 3) Cash register chaos must be minimized. Thousands of small businesses will be scrambling to obtain new sys- tems or make major modifica- tions to their current systems in order to be able to compute a provincial saks tax on top of the federal GST The cash register industry has already said that their simply isn't enough time for all small businesses to make the necessary modifications before Jan. 1, 1991; 4) The new federal bureauc- racy that will be created by the GST will be very difficult to eliminate if other provinces Later want to harmonize and collect a new combined tax; 5) There are a number of court challenges regarding the GST which won't reach the Supreme Court until March 1991. Should the challenges go against the GST, the interna- tional money market's response to Canada could be extremely National Ballet Season The National Ballet of Canada will open its winter season with "Coppelia", Feb. 13th to 17th and Mar. 6th and 7th.

Here and There Lambion generating station celebrates 30 'r9 December, 19M marked a milestone for the Lambton thermal generating station near Sarnia. The station celebrated its 20th anniversary of producing electricity for the people of Ontario. It is planned that Lambton will con- tinue providing power for at knst another 2D years, so the station is in the middle of its lifespan. Since Lambton first began producing electricity in 1969, the station has played a significant role in meeting the needs of its Ontario customers. L.ambton's four 50D -megawatt units were the first 500 megawatt units in- stalled in Canada. At full power, Lambton can produce enough electricity to meet the requirements over one million Ontario homes. Lambton is now being prepared for the installatwe of On- tano's first two scrubbers (equipment that removed sulphur oxides from gases). 7be scrubbers are to be operating at Lambton units 3 and 4 beginning in 1984. October Home Sales Down The aggregated number of residential sales fell 28.2 per- cent in Canada's 25 metropolitan centres during the month compared to the level recorded the previous year, says The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). Increase in Forecast of Private Power Con- tribution Hydro has increased its forecast of the amount of elec. tricity it expects to be able to buy from private power pro ducers in the next ten years. President Robert Franklin said Hydro now est imates that by the end of the century private sources will be able to pro duce at least 2,1ou megawatts. This represents a 3D percent increase over previous estimates and means most of new, electrical supplies (not including the Darlington Generating Station) in Ontario during the next decade will come from private sources. :{:=:ti=:=?sv:-:•::•::•::•:~:::::•:•:•::::-: �::v: is •:•:v: � :ti:•}:•: negative and certainly not worth tax, the likelihood of numerous the gamble of premature im- businesses not being ready for plementation; Jan.

Nov. 29th at Metro's Transportation Committee meeting Scar- borough Councillor Marilyn Mushinski and Doreen Z. Howe, President of the Donwood Park Com- munity Association ap- peared before the commit- tee to argue against a pro- posed Metro resolution to change the 50 kmh speed limit from Ellesmere Rd. and Lawrence Ave. E. to 60 kmh to make it the same for all of Brimley Rd. A resident, Mr. Copeland, emphasized that Brimley Rd. is all residen- tial and Mr. Mark said that some councillors suggest that we should move if we don't like it. He also said those who live opposite Brimorton Plaza have an advantage as some refer to it as "their parking lot". Metro wants to prohibit parking on the west side of Brimley Rd. between Ellesmere Rd. and Lawrence E. at any time except Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. As well Metro wants parking to be prohibited on the east side of Brimley Rd. between Lawrence Ave. E. and a point 152 metres north and between a point 775 metres north of Lawrence Ave. E. and Ellesmere Rd. at any time except Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Parking is also to be pro- hibited on the east side of Brimley Rd. between a point 152 metres north of Lawrence Ave. E. and a point 775 metres north of Lawrence E. from 7 a. m. to 7 p.m. except Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Metro Councillor Bob ,Sanders said he drives to Metro along Brimley Rd. and feels that the 50 kmh speed limit should be kept and further feels that the restriction on parking should only be during rush hours. Tie votes killed the pro- posed changes to parking and the speed limit and so the committee will report to Metro Council on Dec. 19th that it feels that the situation should be left as it is.

Clune, trustee for ward 16, was re-elected chairman of the Metropolitan Separate School Board at the in- augural meeting of the board held on November 26. Michael J.

Clune said the boa. -^d will maintain its commit- ment to a "Christ -centred" school system and will at- tempt to provide its students with the knowledge, skills and values to be at peace with themselves and to be gain- fully employed in this new social order.

December 5, ISM Bill Watt's Worlds DINNER THEATRE: Season's Greetings, the current presentation at Stage West Theatre Restaurant, is an ap- propriately titled and singularly well chosen holi- day attraction. Written by the prolific Alan Ayckbourn, the British Neil Simon (or is it vice versa?). it offers rather more farce than the playwright's usual glossy insight -one has the suspi- cion of pot boiterism-but is none the worse for it. Set in England -the Midlands one presumes because of the accents - Greetings offers the wacky goings on of an affluent family from Christmas Eve through to Dec. 27th. The characters are the man of the house, his wife, her sister. his sister, that sister's husband• a family friend, his pregnant wife, a writer guest and the man of the louse's uncle. The last named is played by Bernard Fox who is the nominal star and certain draw. Mr. Fox is probably best known for his role as Dr. Bombay on the Bewit- ched television show. In Season's Greetings his role is that of a middle aged man who has spent a lifetime in security work and has the natural suspi- cion of all such types. We've all met them. In one scene, for exam - Oe. he surprises one of the couples in a coupling man- qu6e. Neither is married to the other but instead of be- ing morally outraged, Un- cle Harvey is more con- cerned that they might have been rifling the presents under the tree. Got the idea now? It's not a difficult role but the temptation towards ex- cess must be fought off. Mr. Fox does so, possibly aided by the workmanlike direction of reliable Ron Ulrich, and succeeds in a fine comic portrait. Nigel Bennett, a lookalike for the late Gor- don Jackson, is all amiable observer rather more in- terested in electrical gadgets than in his wife. Elizabeth Richardson as the wife is understated frustration while Judv Leigh -Johnson is eviderit sexual frustration as her spinster sister. June Garba is a walking nvmpho mar- ried to a twit of a doctor played by Guy Bannerman. Derek Boves is amiable Eddie, best friend of the man of the house and pret- ty Peggy Caffey is along as his not too bright but happi- ly pregnant wife. Anthony Bekenn is Clive, the visiting writer who finds himself the physical magnet for three of the four worsen. All are sexually aggressive in varying degrees. one because she has plenty of sex but wants more. one because her in- KALLY' S MID -WEEK DINNER SPECIALS Served MON.-Thurs. From 4 m.

All perform well and work beautifully together but it is the play, silly and in- consequential as it might be, that carries the day. There are many comic and downright hilarious moments, so many that they cannot all be listed here. However, one must mention the scene where the twittish doctor is rehearsing his puppet show intended as a holiday treat for the children. He is so in- ept yet so serious about it all that one is almost con- vulsed. And, for extra pleasure in the scene, watch the reactions of the other performers, par- ticularly Bernard Fox. Oh, and we can't con- clude a review of Stage West without mentioning at least one of the buffet specials. This time it's Fillet of Red Snapper.

It's personal while never being sensational, detailed but not technical, light but never flippant. Rather like the man himself. It has always mystified us that so many people keep such poor records.

There will Highland Creek Women's Institute by Evelyn Dempsey Twenty-four members and seven guests met at Centennial -Rouge Hall at 12:30 p.m. Nov. 14th for the International Meeting of the year and a delicious In- ternational food luncheon before the regular meeting time. Many tasty ethnic dishes were enjoyed by all those present. After the meal, the guest speaker, Joan Livingstone of Peterborough, was in- troduced by Jeanne Liv- ingstone. Joan has recently returned from a tour with the Albertan Friendship Mission to Japan. She gave a very in- teresting talk about the trip and highlighted her ex- perience of time spent liv- ing in a Japanese home. She related the difference of their home life customs to our Canadian customs. Joan also showed us pic- tures and artifacts that were gifts given to her. Mary Miller thanked Joan for her splendid talk and extended thanks to her mother, Beulah Van Criegran for accompany- ing her. Roll call was answered by naming the special dish brought to the luncheon and its country of origin. Business matters were discussed and reports were given: Ann Tonkins Friendship Convener, told of cards sent to shut-ins. Jeanne Livingstone reportd on the day some of our members attended the Women's In- stitute Booth at the Royal Winter Fair. Dorothy Harding, Clara Lahmer. and Mary Miller reported about the leader- ship course of Bread Bak- ing held at Van Dorf. Cathie Closson, Jeanne Livingstone, Mary Miller and Marion Paquette told of the activities of the 88th Convention of Central On- tario Women's Institutes. The theme of the conven- tion was "The Nineties -A Decade of Challenge". We can expect changes. They highlighted the ban- quet and as this was the 60th anniversary of holding the convention at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, a special birthday cake was made and piped in at the appropriate time. Harvey Wood was the guest speaker for the even- ing, bringing a dynamic message. The Orangeville Ontario Group, "Just Friends" gave musical selections. The convention proved worthwhile. The meeting closed by singing "O Canada". A special learning day by the leaders, Dorothy Har- ding, Clara Lahmer, and Mary Miller on "Bread Making" with Quick Yeasts was held Nov. 6 at Centennial -Rouge Hall. Eleven people took advan- tage of the course. It was a great day and tasting the results of our work proved very rewar- ding. Many thanks to the super leaders. The pupils now have to show their skill and have baking ready to display and sample for Summary Day at Van Dorf, Nov. 29th. On Nov. 21st, fifteen members met at the home of Evelyn Dempsey for dessert, tea and coffee. The purpose of this meeting was to arrange for Christmas Cheer items to be distributed to elderly shut-ins and others. Desserts left over and other items were sold to help swell the "Cheer Fund". The next meeting of the institute takes the form of a Christmas Luncheon and party at Scarborough Golf Club. On Dec. 5, is "Christmas at The Lee", Stoney Creek, Ontario. It is a worthwhile trip to visit this museum home and see how Christmas was celebrated iia by -gone days. Christmas Greetings to all and a Happy New Year from Highland Creek Women's Institute.

But if mushers wait until there is a good base of snow, they won't be able to get the dogs into shape by the time the season begins. So how do they do it? Before the snow flies, most mushers use a home- made, three -wheeled train- ing rig. The driver rides on a platform at the back and the dogs are hitched up with their usual harnesses. As with any athlete in - training, mushers start their dogs off slowly with relaxed runs of short distances, giving the animals a chance to build Hp their strength and en- durance gradually. The Minden Techni-cal Challenge is one of the most exciting events on the racing calendar for a vane- ty of reasons. It attracts the world's top com- petitors, it offers the racing circuit's toughest cause, and, thanks to the Main Street start and finish line, it provides spectators with a close-up view of the ac- tion. Spectators are also welcome to visit the "dog pit" (as the area is called where the dog trucks are parked). There you can check out the dogs and talk with the mushers to find out how it's donne. Wed.

The areas are part of the TTC's ongoing "Your Safe- ty Partner" program and were one of the main recommmendations made in a 1989 report prepared by the TTC, Metro Police and the Metro Action Com- mittee on Public Violence Against Women and Children (METRAC). The report, "Moving Forward: Making Transit Safer for Women", said the TTC should identify "a sec- tion of certain subway plat- forms as secure . . and determine the most ap- propriate emergency response system." These safety features will reduce the feeling of isolation and fear some riders have and help those who are simply unfamiliar with the subway system," said TTC chairman Lois Griffin. Chief general mmanager Al Leach said the TTC is trying out three different types of waiting areas to see which one is best suited for the subway. "Each one has its own merits. We're counting on our riders to tell us what features they like best," he said. The waiting areas at Sheppard and Lansdowne stations are located next to a collector's booth on the mezzanine level. They are equipped with electronic signs and public-address systems that inform riders when a train is about to ar- rive. The areas located at plat- form level, at Queen's Park, Yorkdale, Pape and Main stations, are equip- ped with either a closed cir- cuit camera and intercom system, or with a push- button alarm connected to the collector's booth and TTC's control centre. Each platform DWA is about 20 metres long and lines up with the guard's subway car. All six DWAs have public telephones in them or nearby which can be used in an emergency.

Q: I'm thinking of buying a nein car m 1991. How wX the proposed GST affect prices? A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax (FSI) is now part of the price of new cars. So, while they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991, the expected effect of replacing the FST with the GST on the average $22,000 mid-size car is a reduction of around $850. Q: My son has figured out it will cost $50CI m lumber to build a dock at our cottage if he bought a now. How much will that lumber cost with tate proposed GST.' A: You can expect to pay about $512 for that same amount of lumber for personal use based solely on the changeover from the FST to the GST. Q: I know the proposed GST won't apply to city bus fares but I take the commuter train to work. Will I have to pay GST? A: No. Daily commuter trains are considered a municipal transit service, so fares are exempt from GST. Were here to answer your questions about how the GST will affect prices.
