Durham Home Sales Top 1990
Some 47% more homes
were sold in 1991 than 1990
in the Durham Region by
local realtor s. reports the
Oshawa & District Real
Estate Board t ODREB I .
These statistics show
that even during rough
economic times, the
residents of Durham
Region still have faith in
home ownership as one of
the best investments they
can make.
"In 1991 there were 5,671
residential sales," says
Board President Mark
Smith, FRI, CMR: "com-
pared to only 3,837 the year
before.,.
71he average price for the
homes sold by members of
ODREB in 1991 was
$153,119. compared to
$165,375. for 1990, a
decrease of 7.4%.
"I feel that the reason for
the drop in average price is
that 43% of the homes sold
went for between $100.000
and $149,000 compared to
3D% in 1990." says Smith.
-This his shows that there is
still high confidence for
first time horneixtyers. As
the interest rates dropped,
people who had been
waiting to buy their first
home were now able to, and
people wanting to sell their
starter home and move up
also now had that option...

Let's Believe In Equality
by Bob Watson
After months of dialogue and political discussion on
Canada's constitution a great many Canadians are ab-
solutely fed up'
millions of tax dollars have been poured down the drain
while all kinds of ideas and input have been given to the
money happy politicians at Ottawa.
We believe that most Canadians wish that the Trudeau
regime had never created a constitution for us when we ran
our country on the very flexible British system of justice
built on centuries of experience. Americans told us not to
get a constitution because in their country many resolutions
are stalled because of the number of states required for
changes. So why don't we abolish the constitution and
revert to the better way I
Then there is the constant aggravating reference to the
"distinct society" in Quebec! Why can't Quebec look after
its own French language and culture without a special
power' It seems to us that province has been "different"
for a long time without a note in the constitution about being
"distinct".
All Canadians of every province are "distinct". If it is
decided to give any special powers to Quebec - like the con-
trol on immigration which it has now - then all provinces
should have the same power.
Let's take the "native people" demands for self-
government. R'hv can't each Indian reserve that wishes
self-government become a mlmicipality. But let's not give
native peoples separation from Canadian rule when they
are sucking billions out of the Canadian governments while
each native person works in our society and pays no income
tax'
Come on, don't we believe in "equality"' We believe that
each Canadian citizen should be equal and there should be
no special privileges for any person who leans on his or her
race or group from centuries back in time.
This is 1992 - let's act like today. not yesterday'
Why French First?
Dear Ed
Why French First' Yes indeed "Rin• French at all"'.
Why are so many Canadians in any petty position of
authority so desperate to push the French language down
our throat° Is there money in it somewhere' Are they get -
ung paid for it enough to sell their country'
Official-bi-lingualism only applies to a number of Govern-
ment Depts. Canada is not a French speaking country; no
matter how maty people he when saving that it is.
Your reader B. Slingsby is perfectly cat. ect. Perhaps I
can define Britain England for him. In 1606 King James the
6th of Scotland became King James First of England and in
I7Td' came the Union of Scottish and English parliaments

Britain defeated France in 1759 and in 1763 King Louis of

Mainstream Canada
A national
tax tragedy
BY :Michael R'vc•ks
Fact: '•The Goods and Ser-
vices Tar has cost Canadian
businesses almost $10 billion in
implementation and compli-
ance costs. It has taken an
unprecedented toll on con-
sumers, small business owners
and the economy as a whole To
introduce this tax, and levv such
an enormous cost burden when
the economy was in the midst
of a severe recession, is uncon-
scionable."—president John
Bulloch, Canadian Federation
of Independent Business,
November 5, 1991.
Fiction: "Canadians will
realize the GST isn't a bureau-
cratic nightmare after a week,
two weeks, or a month of learn-
ing how the tax works. The GSr
win sell itself and won't be an
issue in six months or the next
federal election."—federal rev-
enue minister Otto Jdinek,
January 4, 1991.
Now, the sobering truth can
be known. A massive new study
carried out by CFIB has clearly
shown the crippling ins p the
GST has had. A total of 25,362
small- and medium-sized busi-
nesses from every region of
Canada responded to a survey.
conducted in June. The sun•vey
asked business ownersto detail
the costs acs.x-fated with the
new tax and the results were
then extrapolated to the overall
economy. The Overwhelming
response is the strongest the
organization has receised to a
national sur%n in its 20-vcar
histor.
Asked about the overall
impact of the GST, -1 per cent
of rcapondcnts sets the tax has
had a negaticc efte:t on their
businesses. Only K per cent of
small business owners feel the
GS -T has benctitted their oper-
ation. The number one reason
for opposing the GST is the
extraordinary costs of impic-
menting and operating the
new tax.
Bulloch explained that the
GST's total price tag for 1991—
$9.6 billion—is comprised of
two different costs associated
with the new tax system: the
one-time cost to a business of
implementing the GST; and the
ongoing costs associated with
collecting and remitting the
GST. "While the federal
government sat back and
watched the massive revenues
generated by this tax conte
pouring in, the small business
sector, for one; was spending
Pots of motley just to imple-
ment a system to collect it." The
total one-time costs (which
included point-of-sale equip-
ment, professional fees, and an
unrelenting drain on owners'
time). extrapolated to the entire
economy, will reach S3 billion
by the end of the year. Impor-
tantly, almost three quarters of
this tab (74 per cent) will cone
out of the pockets of smaA
firms as compared to a mere
6 per cent from larger firms
(more than 100 employees).
CF1B .ice presidennt, research
and chief economist. Catherine
Swift, says the one-time costs
are enough of a burden but the
ongoing costs, otherwise known
as compliance costs, have been
nothing short of lethal.
"We asked respondents to
evaluate the monthly coot of
colicti-ting and remitting the
GST. The total was a whopping
SS:`9.9t) per month. By extra-
polating the curve% results to
the entire Canadian economy,
the total :ompliancc cost to
business will reach S6.6 billion
tier 1991."
In concluskxn, Bulloch swm
"If there was ever am doubt,
( anadian can now safely con-
cludc that the GST simple does
net work. The government owes
this country an apology in the
form of rapid policy changes
towards a fairer, simpler tax,
something the GST is not."

Ciseplex saves $4411411,0110 with energy efficient bulbs
Cineplex Corporation expects to save $400.000 a year with
the installation of energy efficient lightbulbs in all of its 60
Ontario theatres.
Cineplex is the first company in the province to imple-
ment energy efficient lighting throughout its operations in
Ontario. The company received incentives from Ontario
Hydro totalling $140,000 to help offset conversion costs of
about $625.000. With an estimated energy savings of 28 per-
cent annually, the company will recover the conversion
cost in about 14 months.
In another energy conservation initiative Cineplex is
distributing Ontario Hydro coupons to movie-goers for sav-
ings on energy efficient lightbulbs in the home. The com-

Bill 143 Will Affect
Rights Of Muncipalities
Don Cousens, Progressive Conservative Environment
Critic, is demanding the government hold public hearings
on Bill 143, the Waste Management Act. Hearings would
provide more input into the precedent setting bill that is
speeding through the legislative process. Hearings would
also address municipal rights and the long term implica-
tions for municipal waste disposal in Ontario.
"Bill 143 gives the Ministry of Environment (MOE)
power to unilaterally dictate waste management pro-
cedures, which are traditionally and legally overseen by
municipal governments," says Cousens. "Years of legisla-
tion giving municipalities the right to make their own waste
mangement decisions will be wiped out. In its place will be
a bill giving the MOE the dictatorial right to enforce their
own ideas about waste management. Ibis bill removes all
legislation enshrined in the Municipal Act, The Ontario
Municipal Board Act, the Planning Act, the Environmental
Assessment AM and the Environmental Protection Act as
pertaining to waste disposal systems."
"This bill is moving quickly through the legislative pro-
cess and could become law before municipalities in Ontario
are aware of it. At that time it will be too late," says
Cousens who believes public hearings in January will
benefit Ontario municipalities and give them the opportuni-
ty to raise their concerns with the government.
Bill 143, made public on Oct. 24. 1991, is the first piece of
environmental legislation from the New Democratic
Government to establish new guidelines for landfill sites in
the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and sets a precedent for
ministerial intervention into waste disposal processes in
every municipality in Ontario. It makes null and void all
waste menagement agreements a municipality may have.
"What is offensive and reprehensible about Bill 143 is the
speed at which the government %•ants to pass this bill. In
fact many municipal politicians have not had an opportuni-
ty to analyze the bill and many will not be sworn into office
until after Dec. 1," explains Cousens. "Municipalities in
Ontario have had no time to react...
..This government is breaking its own mandate of listen-
ing to the people,** says Cousens, " and by rushing through
this bill without taking into consideration municipal rights,
long term impricatias and input from municipalities. in-
dustry and business they are in violation of every process
they have insisted previous governments fogow."
Colleens is outraged that the proposed list of landfill sites
for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). to be released in
November, will not be released until after Bill 143 is passed.
"nue bill demands landfill sites to be chosen immediately
to alkviate the waste crisis in the GTA. Under these
emergency measures, the bill denies affected
municipalities the ngbt to an assessment hearing." says
Cousens. "This list of sites should be nude available to give
municipalities time to react...

Warming Trend Continues
A first glance at
Canada's temperature
data for 1991 indicates the
national trend of warmer
weather continues.
Although some parts of
the country, especially
Newfoundland and
Labrador, experienced
temperatures slightly
below normal, the nation
was generally well above
normal. The warming
trend was most evident in
the high Arctic, the
Prairies, Northwestern
and Southern Ontario, and
Southern Quebec.
The data also show's that
1991 was the 10th warmest
year since 1931, thus conti-
nuing the above normal
trend of the past several
years. During this period of
record, the warmest year
was 1967 and the coldest
was 1972. Temperatures
fell after 1967, placing 1968
eighth and 19M 41st. Since
then. the national
temperature average has
been rising, with 1990 rank-
ing 14th warmest. Eight ilf
the past 11 years are in the
warmest 30 percent of the
period while four of the
past 11 years are in the
warmest 15 percent. Thus,
although 1991 only ranks as
our 10th warmest year, the
recent national warming
trend continues.
The analysis was con-
ducted using as many
observing points as possi-
ble dating back to 1931. The
data was aggregated na-
tionally to provide an index
that shows each year's
departure from normal, as
established by the
reference period.
A more detailed
historical analysis of Cana-
dian temperature trends
will be published during the
first quarter of 1992 in the
next report On the State of
Canadian Climate.

Alzheimer Disease Forum
The Alzheimer Society
for Metropolitan Toronto is
bolding a free public forum
on "Down's Syndrome and
Alzheimer Disease: Care
and Management", on
Thurs. Jan. 30th at 7:30
p.m. at Mount Sinai
Hospital, 600 University
Ave, in the 18th floor
Auditorium.
Dr. Anthony J. Holland,
the Senior Lecturer and
Honourable Consultant
Psychiatrist with the In-
stitute of Psychiatry,
Bethlem Royal and
Maudsely Hospitals in Lon-
don, England has been
selected as guest speaker.
Dr. Holland will examine
the correlation between the
two diseases, and will ad-
dress the dilemma of pro-
viding appropriate care to
persons with both condi-
tions, and the service and
options available to victims
and caregivers. His exten-
sive research and publica-
tions in this discipline
qualifies Dr. Holland as a
leading expert in this field.
The forum will be follow-
ed by a question and
answer session. For more

OPERA NEWS:
It has become a comic
cliche to employ an open-

ly by aspiring novelists .. It

It wasn't dark and it was
daytime but it most cer-
tainly was stormy on the
day we attended a luncheon
at the Tanenbaum centre
given to announce the

All this, while the latter
portions of the 1991 92
season are still in residence
at The O'Keefe. We mean
of course La Boheme and
Romeo et Juliette. Our full
review of those works will
follow.
A new production of
Rigoletto will open the
92 93 season on Sept. 19th
at The O'Keefe.
Massenet's Werther
opens there on Sept. 26th.
One must confess puzzle-
ment over the popularity of
this turgid work. It seems
difficult to believe it was
written by the same man
who gave us. among many
other fine works of course.

Le Jongleur de Notre

On Nov. 11th the Elgin

with Rebecca Caine: The
Phantom of the Opera will
obviously still be rurrung
at The Pantages. Also of
note is the inclusion in the
cast of Wendy Nielsen in
her first major stain -stage

more than simply passing

Tice concerts will run in

in the future column.
The COC is the only
established opera or-
chestra in Canada and was
created in 1977. It has a
permanent membership of
about 50 instrumentalists
but the size of the full or-
chestra varies according to
the demands of individual
operas.
Far from resting on well
earned laurels, the Cana-
dian Opera Company con-
tinues its gently aggressive
thrust toward the ultimate
goal of becoming the
premier company in the
world. The goal is within
reach but there must be a
permanent opera house.
Once again, however. we
must put forward our sug-
gestion that the
Elgin Winter Garden com-
plex would be ideal.

Ancient Egypt & Nubia Galleries
Featured At Royal Ontario Museum
The Royal Ontario
Museum ( ROM) ushers in
the new year by opening
two new permanent
galleries, the Ancient
Egypt Gallery and North
America's first Nubia
Gallery, on Thurs. Jan.
23rd.
Between the two
galleries visitors can ex-
amine 2,000 antiquities
from the ROM's perma-
nent collections which ex-
plore the history of these
advanced and highly ac-
complished civilizations
that once flourished in the
north-east corner of Africa.
The ROM's Egyptian col-
lection is the finest in
Canada and is ranked
among the top six in North
America. The collection
contains 20,000 objects
featuring a variety of ar-
tifacts which document
everyday living patterns of
the ancient Egyptians
population.
The munseurru's Nubia col-
lection is among the largest
in the world and is par-
ticularly strong in material
dating from between 200
and 1820 AD.
Together, the new
galleries will display a
remarkably broad range of
artifacts from simple
agricultural tools and
everyday eating utensils to
magnificent jewellery,
funerary furnishings and
delicate pottery.
They will help to
demonstrate what
specialists have learned
about the indigenous
cultural developments of
the ancient Egyptians and
of the inhabitants of a
region once known as
Nubia, now divided bet-
ween Egypt and Sudan.

The Ancient Egypt
Gallery consists of 1,650 ob-
jects and is divided into
four secTions - history, dai-
ly life, and religion, plus a
large wall relief il-
lustrating the "Voyage to
Punt". These themes ex-
plore the flowering of
Egyptian political struc-
tures, arts, religion, and
technology covering major
periods of Egyptian culture
from 4000 BC to 400 AD.
The Nubia Gallery con-
isasts of 350 objects and pro-
vides a chronological
history of Nubian cultures
beginning with the forma-
tion of hunting and fishing
villages in 45M BC and con-
tinuing through key
historical periods to
Modern Nubia in the 20th
century.
Admission to these per-
manent galleries is free
with admission to the

A recent study of prostate
cancer patients indicated clearly
that an alternative to surgical
castration is desired. The multi-

showed that, when given the
option of Zoladex or surgical
castration, more than three

ONTARIO PC Mike HarrisLEADER Business Report
Ontario Business and The Political Environ-
ment
"In an international and global marketplace in which
trade barriers are falling by the minute, who would choose
to locate a plant or a factory in Canada? Who would choose
Ontario? What could this province possibly offer that could
overcome a 50% tax disadvantage?" Appearing before the
Mike Harris Task Force on the Ontario Budget, Lawrence
Tapp, Vice -Chairman, President and C.E.O. of the Lawson
Mardon Group, said government must ask itself this impor-
tant question.
Until recently, Ontario had no difficulty attracting and
keeping investment. A skilled and educated labour force,
high standard of living, reasonable taxes and good govern-
ment regulation made us a desirable location to set-up
shop. But that was until recently.
According to a 1990 Canadian Federation of Independent
Business study, Canadian firms face a total tax load
anywhere from 20 per cent to 50 per cent higher than those
in business in the United States. After 5 years of Liberal tax
increases Ontario's latest budget has added to the differen-
tial. Ontario is at the top of the tax load scale!
The Rae government talks about a partnership between
business, government and labour but, in reality, business -
government relations have reached an all-time low.
Business faces the task of effectively communicating the
needs for a stable business environment to Rae's govern-
ment. But the communications have to be two-way. It's im-
portant that you know what type of legislation the govern-
ment is working on. We have prepared this edition of the
Mike Harris Business Report to help you get a handle on the
changing political reality at Queen's Park.
Here then, are some key issues and areas affecting
business:
Deficit Recovery Plan Jeopardized
In an attempt to keep the province's record deficit from
reaching new heights, the NDP government announced a
deferred payment schedule on Ontario's debts. Surprising-
ly, the announcement on Oct. 2 offered no major cuts
despite warnings the three biggest -spending ministries
(health, social assistance and education) would face budget
reductions.
Instead of arts. the N7DP postponed spending most of the
$6Wffuflion removed from this year's budget. This has left
the P.C. Caucus wondering whether the budget will need to
be revised again. Already. the NDP Treasurer is starting to
hedge on his long term deficit reduction pians.
Despite his Projections last spring. now the Treasurer is
saying it will be tough to bring the annual budget deficit
below $7.8 billion over the next three years.
Stable Business Environment Threatened Fur-
ther: NDP Cater to Big Labour Demands
Tariffs between the U.S. and Canada are set to disappear
by 1999. It gives us less than a decade to ensure Ontario
business is positioned competitively against foreign
markets. Hae in Ontario there is much work to be
done ... The business community is fighting mad about ex-
pected NDP changes to the labour laws... And. they are say-
ing no to anymore payroll levies. ( Business is still feeling
the pinch of the $2.5 billion drained from Ontario's private
sector when the previous Liberal government enacted the
Employer Payroll Tax in January 1990) . The folkiwwirg are
some of the government's changes to the rubs.
Labour Law Reform Proposals
Anticipation of the NDP's upcorring amendments to the
Labour Relations Act has the Ontario Progressive Conser
vative Caucus extremely concerned. The Minister of
Labour has proposed amendments to the ad that would tip
the existing balance in labour-maragernennt relations by
making it easier to unionize and more difficult to conduct
business. Major recommendations included in a leaked
Cabinet Submission include:
- Anti -scab provision - employers would not be allowed to
hire replacement workers or use employees from another
location to do jobs normally held by those on strike.
- Employees would not be allowed to cross the picket line to
return to woe.
- Where the parties have been in a legal strike or lockout
position for at lent 30 days, the Ontario Labour Relations
Board (OLRB) would settle a first collective agreement
upon application by either the union or employer.
- Unionization would be made easier through several
technical changes including: allowing unions access to
employee lists and to the employer's premises during a
union drive; restricting employer's rights to speak to
workers during a union organizing drive; automatic cer-
tification when 50 per cent ( now 55 per cent) have signed
union cards; and, eliminating the practise of petitions.
- The OLRB would abandon its traditional position of
neutrality and be given the power to impose a settlement. If
negotiations were deadlocked, the OLRB would be em-
powered to look at the substance of proposals, rather than
(as at present) the narrower issue of whether bargaining
was in bad faith.
- Provide the OLRB with the discretion to order the
disclosure of information relevant to issues in dispute in
bargaining (including financial information).
EmployV Wage Protection Fund - Bill 70
After six months of persistent effort by the Ontario PC
Caucus, the Rae government scrapped most of Bill 70 - pro-
vincial legislation that held company officers liable for
severance in event of a bankruptcy.
We argued that proposed amendments to the federal
Bankruptcy Act provided protection to workers. The On-
tario PC Caucus believes it is unnecessary to have two
levels of government providing a wage protection program.
Although they eventually amended the bill, the Rae govern-
ment passed legislation that allocated 5175 -million of public
money to a provincial wage protection fund. If you believe,
as we do, the federal program makes the provincial pro-
gram unnecessary, you'll be frustrated to learn that
unemployment insurance makes it foolhardy. As much as
527 -million from the provincial fund could be subject to a
claw back by Ottawa. It is ridiculous. The province will
make payments that are destined to support the federal
unemployment system.
To make matters worse, we fear the Rae government will
impose a payroll tax to sustain the fund after the spring of
1992.
Voting on the legislation took place Oct. 15. Both the
Liberals and the NDP supported the bill. The PC Caucus
votedagainst it.
Pay Equity
Despite the recession, the NDP announced plans to bring
another 420,000 women under the pay equity umbrella. On
Oct. 2, however, the, government acknowledged that the
high cost of implementation would force them to defer the
program until next year.
The private sector will be expected to absorb all
associated cast of implementing the pro&; am.
Employment Equity
The NDP have announced their intention to proceed with
employment equity legislation by the Spring of 1992. If a
private member's bill introduced by Rae in May 1990 is any
indication, the new legislation will be unreasonably tough
on business. His bill would have required all companies
with annual payrolls of more than $300,000 (only 8-10
employees) to develop and post detailed employment equi-
ty plans within one year. Penalties for failing to comply in-
cluded fines of up to $100,000 for a first offence and $200,000
on a subsequent offence, with the legal onus on firms to pro-
ve innocence once a complaint from an employee has been
"ed.
A recent poll by Omnibus Consulting Inc. revealed
business favours a cooperative approach that would let
firms set their own timetables, which would be vetted and
subsequently monitored by the provincial government
through spot audits. Business felt a numbers drive system
would only lead to tokenism, undermine the merit princi-
ple, and reduce productivity.
Minimum Wage Increase
Ontario's NDP government plans to boost the minimum
wage by 30% over the next rive years. This will bring it up to
6D% of the average irudustrial wage - or about 57 per hour.
For starters. the government will raise the mimmurn wage
to $6 hour an Nov. i of this year. It also plans to eliminate
the differential with the student minimum wage by 1992. A
recent University of Toronto study predicts this policy win
result in the loss of 53.000 jobs.
Society Seeks Volunteers
The Don !Ifills unit of the
Canadian Cancer Society is
turning the heat on its
recruitment blitz to attract
volunteers to participate in
the 19M April residential
campaign -
There is no such thong
as too many vohnteers."
says Bruce Allan, vice-
president of the Don Mills

people as possible who can
donate an average of 10
hours each to this critical
campaign- The more peo-
ple who participate the bet-
ter our chances of achiev-
ing our fund-raising goal...
Mr. Allan notes that the
April campaign ign accounts
for approximately 2D to
25% of the unit's annual
fund-raising total.
Volunteers are requared

Learn More About Exporting To U.S.
A seminar sponsored by
Ontario's Ministry of In-
dustry, Trade and
Technology in conjunction
with the Canada -U.S.
Business Association
(CUSBA), will offer com-
panies the know-how to ex-
port their pacts south of
the border, said Industry
Minister Ed Philip. The
seminar is scheduled to

Philip will address the

our exports to the U.S. ex-
ceeded $55 billion," said
Philip. "I would encourage
any company interested in
developing a new market
for their product to con-
sider attending this
seminar. It will help them
overcome difficulties
associated with the expor-
ting process.,,
Even if a company is
already exporting into the
U.S., this seminar will pro-
vide them with useful infor-
mation that could help
them streamline their ac-
tivities," said CUSBA

Non -Smoking Week
Features Longest Petition
The Council for a
Tobacco -Free Ontario
launched a Province -wide
campaign to record the
World's Longest Petition
for a Smoke Free Planet on
Mon. Jan. 20th, the start of
National Non -Smoking
Week 1992.
Children at Adam Beck
Public School, 400 Scar-
borough Road. Toronto of-
ficially kicked off this cam-
paign with a school
assembly. Youth represen-
tatives from the various
grades were invited to sign
their names in support of a
Tobacco Free Planet.
The Hon. Frances
Lankin, Minister of Health
was present to lend her
support to this event and
the Ontario launch of Na-
tional Non -Smoking Week,
1992.
"We are expecting to col-
lect over 525,000 signatures
on 15,000 petitions from
cities and towns across On-
tario," noted co organizer,
Karen McLean. "Our ob-
jectives are to sustain this
project for the next three
months and collect all the
signed petitions in May. We
will then join them together
for an expected length of
over 2 kilometres and pre-
sent them to political
leaders on World No -
Tobacco Day, May 29,
1992, " added Susan Rosens-
tein, co-organizer of the
project.
"It is our hope that the
project's outcome will con-
vey an important message
to all health
policy -makers," noted
Ludovic D'Souza, Ex-
ecutive Director, Cotard
for a Tobaeco-Free On-
tario "By sngning their
names onto these Petitions,
young people will be calling
on governments to do
everything within their
legal jurisdiction to impose
greater restrictions on the
sale of tobacco to youth
thereby preventing them
from engaging in an addic-
ting behaviour and con-
suming a product which

Brownie treasures kids can make
Is there a kid who doesn't
kwe brownies? They'll en-
joy a double treat with these
recipes because they com-
bine brownies with other
favorite foods like peanut
butter, oranges and choco-
late bats. They're perfect
brown bag lunches for young -
am and young at heart adults,
Best of all, these recipes
are ideal for beginner cooks.
Thcy're quick and easy to
make with Pillsbury's Micro-
wave Fudge Brownie Mix
which comes complete with
its own pan. Kids enjoy these
goodies even more when they
can say "1 made them my-
self".
Because children are fas-
cinated rather than intimi-
dated by microwave ovens,
it is easy to teach youngsters
how to cook with them. An
extra plus is that microwave
cooking is actually safer for
children than conventional
methods. There are no hot -
to -the -touch appliances to
contend with. Do remember
to caution children to use
pot holders when removing
baked foods from the micro-
wave. The food itself will be
hot and sometimes that heat
transfers to the cooking
dishes.
Once baked, brow r.x
travel well in school lunar..,.
Keep them refrigerated, then
wrap them in foil or waxed
paper to include in lunch
boxes. They will be one of
the most popular "traders".
But even if one of these deli-
cious brownies could be
traded for any school kid's
treasure, who would want to
trade?

Community Sports Notes
Skiing -A Sensational Recreation
At An Affordable Price
Skiing is often thought of
as a sport that requires a
considerable investment in
order to reap the rewards
of participation. This is
simply not true. Skiing
compares favourably in
price with other popular
recreational activities such
as hockey or golf. When
stacked up against theme
parks, tropical vacations
and live entertainment.
skiing offers excellent
value.
It costs about the same to
get a child started in
hockey as it does in skiing.
A minimum investment of
5300 will purchase all the
basic equipment for either
sport. The average
registration fee for a
recreational hockey league
is 5190. This includes one
practice and one game per
week (approximately 2
hours of ice time I. An 8
week program at a local ski
hill is similar in price (ap-
proximately $175), which
incudes a full day lift
ticket and one hour group
lesson for eight Saturdays.
The hockey season is a
little longer m some areas
of Canada ( October to
April � but consider the
value of a ski season. Ski-
ing is full day activity that
can be enjoyed by the
whole family. Your
children can ski together.
and pass egpp cent down
from one to another,
regardless of sex. You wiri
also be introducing your
dlildren to a sport that they
can en)mfor their entire
lives. Skiing is a great way
to enjoy the outdoors, and
skiing opens the door to
limitless vacation oppor-
tunities.
Becoming competent
enough with golf dubs to
play on an Whole golf
course takes most begin-
ners a season on the driv-
mig range. putting green
and perhaps a par -3 course.
Five half bour private
lessors (for approxiantely
$120) would be considered a
crash course. Once you are
ready to tackle the course,
green fees at a public golf
course would average $24.
With dub rental (s10) your
day of golf would cost about
$34. or $58 if you rent a cart.
The average cost of a lift
ticket is $30. Equipment
rental would add another
$20. Skiing is also easy to
learn. Most beginning
skiers learn how to ride a
lift and ski easy runs in a
day. and by the end of a
week. new skiers generally
progress to intermediate
terrain. A one hour private
lesson would cost about $255
- $30, but most ski areas of-
fer introductory beginner
specials winch include lift
ticket, equipment rental
and a one hour group lesson
at $30 or less.
Once you try skiing,
you'll be hooked, and like
all passionate skiers, you'll
employ strategies to get in
the most runs for the
money. Whether you select
a smaller ski area with
lower priced lift tickets, or
bigger mountains with
more lifts and runs, you
can get in a lot of skiing for
your money. Because
many people today are
short of both time and
money, ski areas have
responded by offering 2, 3
and 4 hour lift ticket prices
for those who wish to ski for
shorter more intense
periods.
For those who prefer to
ski at a more leisurely
pace, or according to a
budget, Mont -Saint -Anne in
Quebec has Just im-
plemented the option of a
point system for a lift
ticket. Tickets are valid for
a certain number of points
corresponding to lift ac-
cess. The number of points
used on each lift depends
on the type. length, ver-
tical, speed and mountain
area serviced by the lift.
The point ticket may be us-
ed by one or many skiers at
the same time, and is valid
for a 3 -year period.
Ski areas offer all kinds
of incentives to get families
on the slopes. Free skiing
for children under the age
of 6, and reduced prices for
children in a group of three
or more with at least one
adult, make farri ly skiing
affordable. Other cost sav-
ing opportunities include.
mWtiday packages. dis-
count cards, season passes.
ladies' men's days. free or
discounted skiing for
seniors. two-for-one ticket
specials. mid -week skiing.
aigbt skiing. and early and
late season bargam.
The ultimate experience
for most skiers is a ski
vacation at a destination
resort. For approximatdy
$1300 you could take a Club
Med vacation. or you could
go to Whistler Bladkcomb
in British Columbia and ex-
perience the two highest
vertical -rise mountains in
North America with 3.300
acres of terrain offering
skiing for everyone 155% of
the terrain on both m ouri-
tains is rated for in-
termediate skiers. 23%
beginner and 22% expert , .
World lass accommoda-
tion. cuisine, night life and
other attractions make the
value of a saki vacation
two to beat. Ski resorts
throughout Alberta and
British Columbia provide
skiers with a wide selection
of possibilities to suit every
taste and budget.
If a more moderately
priced get away is more to
your liking, overnight
packages to excellent ski
areas in Ontario and
Quebec start at $100.
weekend packages at $175
and MW and up for a ski
week. Most of these
packages include accom-
modation. meals and lift
tickets. Many packages in-
clude the ski school, with
lessons taught by certified
and highly skilled instruc-
tors. Few family vacations
offer the enjoyment value
of a ski vacation. Fort
Lauderdale in February is
not the only way to beat the
February blues!
When compared to a $40
theatre or corncert ticket, or
$50 for a meal at a good
restaurant, a $34 lift ticket
does not seem like an
unreasonable expense.
Skiers pay it willingly,
because they know what
non skiers have yet to
discover .. skiing is a sen-
sational recreational ac-
tivity at an affordable
price!
Other Cost Saving Tips:
When you purchase new
equipment for children,
many retailers offer large
discounts on your next pur-
chase when you trade in the
used equipment.
Good used equipment is
often available at "ski
swaps" operated by ski in-
structors or the ski patrol
organizations.
Rent equipment when
you are starting out. Once
you have reached a certain
skill level, you can invest in
equipment that will suit
your needs for a longer
period of time.
Your equipment should
last about 100 ski days (ap-
proximately 5 seasons of
weekend use). Do not feel
compelled to buy new
equipment simply because
the hot new colours appeal
to you.
Contact your local ski
area for information on
their special packages for
beginners.
Book value -wise trips
through ski vacation
packagers who wrap up
everything from lodging to
lift tickets. Because these
packagers buy flights,
rvomns and lift tickets in
bulk. they often offer vaca-
tioners solid deals.

Lower fat and lower salt meat products,
right for the times
The call for lower fat and
lower saltproducfs has been
heard by Canada's mut
processors.
Recent nutrient analysis
on processed meats show
thtse products to be consid-
erably leaner than pmvi-
oursly reported. "Compared
to current data published in
the Canadian Nutrient File,
Canadian bologna has 12%
fewer calories and 16% less
fat,- explains Dr. Garth
Suodeen, Director of Sci-
entific Activities with the
Canadian Meat Council.
"Wieners are about 18%
leaner." According to
Sundeen, the industry is ex-
pcaing Health and Welfare
Canada to publish revised
and expanded nutrient data
in the near future.
Dr. Sundeen went on to
say, "Manufacture of proc-
essed Wheats is highly regu-
lated under the Canada Meat
Inspection Act and Regula-
tions, administered by the
twined employees of Agri-
culture Canada. The famil-
iar round -Canada- federal
meat inspection legend,
found on the packages of
processed meats, is your
assurance of product made
from wholesome meat in-
gredients, manufactured
uodereontinuous inspection
and packaged and labeued
according to federal gov-
ernment regulations."
Federal regulations set
minimum protein standards
for most processed meats.
Ready -k: -eat sausage prod-
ucts such as wieners,
bologna, pepperoni and
mortadella must contain a
minimum I I% total pro-
tein; breakfast sausages
must contain at least 9%
total protein.
The meat industry is also
providing more information
to consumers. Recently
Agricult,.,, i .:
mated th.,: the l ,,0(_K)
approved lata l,, three-quar-
ters of which are for mut
and poultry products, 40%
bear nutrition information.
Today's processed meats
offer the health conscious
consumer a choice. Retail
shelves are lined with
smoked hams having less
than 5% fat, bacon with 33%
less salt than the regular
product and bologna that is
50% fat reduced. Meatproc-
essors, just like other mar-
keters, are continually fine
tuningtheirproducts to meet
the needs of their custom-
ers.
Today's processed meats
are full of variety.... smoked
hams and picnics; luncheon
meats; salamis; spreads and
pites; fresh, smoked and
cured sausages; smoked
meats and pastrami.... to
name just some of the many
tasty choices. Added to the
product variety are varia-
tions in taste, shape, firm
and packaging methods
w hole loaf to

ient display on the retailers'
pegboard. And for indi-
vidual requirements, proc-
essed meats can be pur-
chased fresh sliced at the
deli counter in the quantity
of your choice.
"The meat industry is
proud of its track record. As
the industry strives to meet
the demands for new menu
choices, the safety and
wholesomeness of our prod-
ucts will not be compro-
mised,- concluded Dr.
Sundeen.

7�•'��7 so
with Rene Soetens, M.P.
As this year marks Canada's 125th birthday, I thought you
might find it interesting to read some facts about the
history of our country's name and flag.
The Name "Canada"
In 1536, two Indian youths told explorer Jacques Cartier
about the route to "kanata". They were referring to the
village of Stadacona; "kanata" was simply the Huron -
Iroquois word for "village". For want of another name,
Cartier used "Canada" to refer not only to Stadacona (the
site of present-day Quebec City) but also to the entire area
subject to its chief, Donnacona. The name was soon applied
to a much larger area; maps in 1547 designated everything
north of the St. Lawrence River as "Canada".
The first official use of the name "Canada" was in 1791
when the Province of Quebec was divided into the colonies
of Upper and Lower Canada. In 1841, the two regions were
re -united under one name. the Province of Canada. At the
time of Confederation, the new country assumed the title,
the "Dominion of Canada". This name was taken from
Psalm 72: "He shall have dominion also. from sea to sea..."
About Our Flag
Canada's flag, as we know it today, was adopted by a
resolution of Parliament and proclaimed by Queen
Elizabeth to take effect on February 15, 1965. That was the
day that the maple leaf flag was first raised over Parlia-
ment Hill.
Previous nags included the Union Flag t commonly called
the Union Jack), first flown over Canada in 1621. and the
Canadian Red Ensign. a form of which was first used
around 1870. The search for a new flag began in 1946 wtien a
select commuttee of Parliament examined more than 1,500
designs. For 18 years, agreement could not be reached on a
new design. However, as the centennial of parliament ap
proached, efforts weir increased to make a selection, and
the maple leaf flag was chosen. its design incorporates the
official colours of Canada - red and white - as appointed by
Karg George V in 1971, with a stylized 11 -pant red maple
leaf m its centre.
