Is There Racism?
by Bob Watson
The recent episodes in downtown Toronto have created a
lot of dialogue about racism in Metro Toronto. Dudley Laws
and his fewhundred supporters tried to give the impression
that their view about "white" people being racist was a
popular view in the "black- community.
Metro Toronto is probably the one city in the world with
such a wide variety of races living together and living
together with such little friction between each group.
Our wonderful urban area doesn't need a Dudley Laws
and his couple of hundred supporters to create a situation
where racism is promoted and inter -racial contacts
destroyed.
This is Canada where everyone should be friendly with
everyone regardless of race, colour of skin or religion.
However, we do not believe a provincial law on racism
should be passed by the Rae government because the
Dudley Laws gang campaigns on the front lawn. Racism in
one form or another has existed in this whole world since
mankind started.
Anyone who can't stand our way of life should leave this
beautiful land and go back home and aggravate their own
kind.
This is Canada and all immigrants should attempt as
soon as possible to become good Canadians. The Dudlev
Laws aanR should "n t1; - not fight us'

Heartened Home Buvers Boost March Sales
Residential MIS sales rose lu.l per cent in Canada's z

Association f CRF -A,
March's home sales garnered a 29.9 per cent increase
over volumes sold in February. 1990. In fact, all of the 25
cities surveyed posted sales gains
Numerically. 24.72E homes traded hands during !March.

Change of Seniors Grants
In the 1992 Ontario Budget on April 30th. Treasurer Floyd
Laughren announced that the Ontario Tax Grants for
Seniors program will be replaced by a new Ontario Tax
Credits for Seniors program. These changes, which will af-
fect every senior citizen in the Province of Ontario, are
designed to provide needy seniors with the maximum
benefit from the program. Lou income seniors will get the
highest tax credits and higher income seniors will see their
credits reduced or eliminated.
Pierre Blais Salutes Volunteers
Federal Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Pierre
Blais had recognized the contribution volunteers make to
Canadian society.
A study published by Statistics Canada shows that in 1987,
the last year for which figures are available, approximate-
ly 5.3 million Canadians volunteered their time and talents.
This figure represented 27 per cent of Canadians over the
age of 15.

News From Ottawa
from Derek Lee
MP Scarborough -Rouge River
Remember 19689 Back then the Conservative govern-
ment promosed us that the Free Trade Agreement with the
United States would enable Canadian business to be com-
petitive through guaranteed access to U.S. markets. That
would mean jobs, jobs, jobs.
But, instead of increased sales for local firms, we have
seen layoffs and bankruptcies. We have seen companies
relocating to the U.S. Now communities such as Alliston,
Ontario. Becaneour, Quebec and the interior of northern
B.C. and Vancouver Island could be hurt very badly as a
result of current trade disputes. Increased costs for duties.
decreased access to markets and the high costs for duties.
decreased access to markets and the high cost of our social
support system will mean Canadian companies - and, most
importantly, their employees - will continue to feel the ef-
fects of Mulroney's great Canadian sellout.
When the FTA was negotiated, the definition of "subsidy"
was unclear and ambiguous. This flaw in the agreement
has allowed American firms to harass Canadian industries
such as steel. lumber and pork. For example. the U.S. Com-
merce Department ruled on March 6. 1992 that Canadian
softwood lumber exports are subsidized. As a result, soft-
wood lumber will be subject to a 14 8 per cent duty which
Kill cost Canadians more than $-loo million and could spell
the end of the softwood lumber industry. The U.S. has also
slapped countervailing duties on magnesium manufactured
in Quebec because it claims that cheap power rates are an
unfair subsiciv.
Rules of origin are not spelled out clearly in the Free
Trade Agreement. Consequently. on March 2, 1992 U.S.
Customs ruled that Honda Civics made in Canada did not
meet the requirement of having 50 per cent North American
content and therefore would be liable for $30 million in dirty.
The key issue in the dispute is whether the engines in the
cars should be counted as North American content. The
engines which are produced in the U.S. are manufactured
mainly with material imported into the U.S and do not
qualify as American-made.
Chapter 18 of the FTA. which will be used to resolve both
disputes, is also usadegaate. It states that disputes handled
under this chapter are not bundling unless both countries
agree. Therefore, even d Canada wins the recent dispute on
content rules, there is no guarantee that the U.S. will live by
the ruling.
It is obvious that the trade deal between Canada and the
United States does not benefit Canadians - even the mat
who negotiated the deal are now admitting that. The only
way to save our nation's jobs is to rectify the flaws in the
Letter To The Editor
Our neighbouring country's practices are not all
desirable. If our sort or daughters were living next to
undesirable influence or neighbours we would be very con-
cerned about wrong habits spreading: instead we seem to
worship habits because of their source. But we must be
selective and not be overwheined - in some cases we should
break the tie. We may have to stiffer some at the break but
not nearly as much as we would suffer if we accept some
habits and their consequences.
Canada is in financial difficulty and our provincial
government is considering gambiuhg casinos to rectify our
Problem. The provincial NeA Democartic Party at one
time would never even have considered gambling as a
source of revenue. A country or person that is not able to
live within a budget, that is not necessarily due to their own
lack of effort or itdtstn . it is due to usury. The more
desperate the budget becornes the more desperately we
turn to the game of chance, gambling is another extension
of usury. Our economic philosophy has to change, that calls
for tolerance and confidence on the part of many more peo-
ple,
Our provincial government may merely and temporarily
be trying to direct some of the money Canada's Federal
Government has attracted and collected through various
means and will not now share. Our New Democratic Party
Government has never in the past condoned gambling. If in
desperation they consider this attempt at gambling casinos
as a temporary measure it becomes so entrenched it can't
be curtailed or remedied later. Other undesirable vices
follow, corruption breeds corruption. Our hardships and
sacrifices become more unbearable in the future than the
remedial tax restructuring we would have to bear now. The
unfortunate consequence is the government that would app-
ly these remedies for today would be voted out of office for
tomorrow by an opportunist party.

A sad story
about Canada
By Michael Wycks
This is a story of widespread
suffering. This is a story of tax
annihilation. This is a story
about Canada.
Once upon a time, Canada
was a country with millions of
satisfied citizens Sure, there were
the usual problems -icy winters,
mosquito -filled summers, spo-
radic unemployment, rising food
prices -but for the most part, fife
in the "Grew White North" was
considered good.
Life changed -governments
ran up huge deficits, recessions
raged. unemployment levels spi-
ralled, business and personal
bankruptcies shot up, and a tax
avalanche fell heavily upon the
People. Bleakness ruled the
land. Politicians argued
amongst themselves about a
solution, and of course, none
was found. in rode a would-be
knight on a white charger,
otherwise known as the gover-
nor of the Bank of Canada, to
try to rescue the country from
its critical state Interest rates
were juggled. the inflation rate
fluctuate!, and the Canadian
do1w climbed up and ups After
much pain and discomfort,
inflation was brought under
control and itteest rates stabi-
lized at a reasonable kveL The
governor bad fitnDy met his
objective The thinking was that
a period of low inflation with
tow interest rates would work
magic on Canada's economy
and rescue it from mediocrity.
But the knight was no Merlin
and the economy continued to
l
anguish-
This story continues with
Canada now experiencing a
Period of low inflation. In
January of this year the annual
inflation rate was just 1.6 per
cent, the lowest level in more
than two decades. But there's
still a problem, and it's a big
one: three-quarters of January's
inflation rate is made up of
taxes. The Bank of Canada's
index, published in its monthly
review, suggests most of Janu-
ary's increase in the cost of liv-
ing resulted from levies like the
Goods and Services Tax,
provincial sales taxes, and
tobacco and gasoline taxes.
As inflation has declined,
taxes have quickly come to
account for a much larger share
of the overall increase in the cost
of living. One can readily con-
clude that inflation will remain
lower still because of the beat-
ing consurners are taking from
taxes. Even with the slow eco-
nomic recovery seemingly now
at hand. you can't atpect con-
suaners to mcitase their demand
for goods and services when so
much of their income is being
pilfered by taxes.
The monetary policy of the
Bank of Canada can be an
important tool for managing
the country's economy. How-
ever, when the public is mun-
dated with taxes, no amount of
magical monetary policy will
titre our economic ills. The
Canadian people ase etperienc-
Ing tax adnaushon and one need
only look at the cross-border
'gypping bonanza and the bur-
sconnig underground economy
to witness how this coarse t-
mnent is playing itself out.
This is indeed a sad story.
Unfortunately, it's no simply
fiction; for Canadians, it's the
cruelest of realities Until our
elected leaders address this
heavy tax burden, there will be
no happy ending for Canada.

The recommended project would see the widening of Steeles Avenue from 2 to 4 Imes
between McCowan Road and Pickering Townli. . The widening would feature an urban
cross-section (curbs and gutters) between McCowan Road and the Rouge River crossing, and
a rural cross -sectio+ (grass ditches) from the Rouge River crossing to Pickering Tow. line.
The widening design minimozes the impact to vegetation and features storm water quality
control strategies. a landscape master plan. and extra pavement width for cyclists. .

5000 Children Treated
To Skydome Baseball
A dream come true will
take place for 5,000 young
baseball fans and their
adult escorts as they're
treated to a major league
baseball game on May 16,
at Toronto's Skydome,
Marion Boyd, Ontario's
Minister of Community and
Social Services announced
last week.
And that dream come
true is Blue Jays Kids Day.
For the past nine years,
tens of thousands of
children have watched and
squealed in delight as they
spilled mustard on their
shirts and did "the wave"
with hordes of other
screaming farts.
The Blue Jays Baseball
Club, the Variety Club of
Ontario - Tent 28, and the
Ontario Ministry of Com-
munity and Social Services
have teamed up for the
tenth year in a row to make
this special day happen.
The Toronto Blue Jays
have donated the seats for
the game against the Seat-
tle Mariners. The Variety
Club, the world's largest
children's charity, covers
transportation costs from
designated points in On-
tario to the game. The
ministry provides staff to
co-ordinate the project and
McDonald's Restaurants
will donate ballpark franks
and refreshemtrs.
"A lot of people have
become involved during
the last ten years because
they know it's a fun and ex-
citing day," said ministry
co-ordinator, Lloyd
Kishino. "This is one of the
most rewarding and unique
projects organized for the
kids by Variety Club."
Metro Councillor Marie
Labatte, Chairman of the
Metropolitan Transporta-
tion Committee has an-
nounced that the long-
awaited feasibility study to
implement a network of
reserved lanes throughout
Metro for taxis, buses, car-
pools and bicycles is com-
pleted.
"'This is the report to get
is moving," said Coun-
cillor Labatte, "It focuses
on traffic management
measures and ways to en-
courage people to use
public transit."
High Occupancy Vehicle
(HOV I lanes are curb lanes
reserved for the use of
taxis, buses, bicycles. and
cars carrying three or
more people. Where possi-
ble, these lanes will be in-
corporated when a road
widening takes place. HOV
lanes were implemented on
Don Mills Road in
December 1991. Variations
of the HOV concept are in
place on Bay Street. Eglin-
ton Avenue and Dundas
Street.
"Metro is breaking new
ground with this initiative.
No other jurisdiction has a
reserved lane network to
the extent proposed in this
report . " The report oon-
cludes that such a network
will help to improve transit
efficiency during peak

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON YOUR TOES:
The National Ballet has
concluded its Spring
Season at The O'Keefe with
a program of four short
works: two of them new.
two of them familiar. Let's
dispose of -cops, consider -
the former first.
About the best that one
can say of Split House
Geometric is that the title
is unconsciously hip and in-
deed, suggestive. Watching
it, one truly feels like split-
ting the house i.e. observ-
ing the classic Navy
rmnoeuvre of getting the
hell out of there.
Split presents two
couples dancing to the
music of Arvo Part's
Fratres for Violin & Piano.
Well, it's dancing only in
the sense that the
movements are reasonably
fluid and rhythmic. But
there is nothing attractive
about them.
On the evening of our at-
tendance, the quartet of
Sarah Green, Greta
Hodgkinson. Peter Ott -
mann and Johan Persson
gave an excellent best in
performance but it was in a
vain cause. If one had
wanted to see apache danc-
ing. one world have gone to
Hell. uh Hull. ( Come to
think of it the two are not
dissimilar.)
John Alieyme has been
the Resident
Choreographer of The Na-
tional but has now accepted
a position as Artistic Direc-
tor of Ballet British Cohrn-
bia. the thee to B.C. Mr. A.
Good luck. but no more
Split Houses please.
Glen Tetley took on an
obvious challenge in
choreographing Stravin-
sky's Rite of Spring, par-
ticulariy after a former Na-
tional Resident
Choreogmpner, Constantin
PWsatas had done it so well
a few seasons ago.
Stravinsky is to music as
Salvadore Dab is to pain-
ting. We are beginning to
think that Mr. Tetley is to
choreography as Bob Hope
is to hoofing. reasonable
skill but tongue firmly in
cheek.
Mr. T.'s Rite presents the
company in flash coloured
outfits suggesting nudity
cavorting around in some
supposed underground in
preparation of the ascen-
sion of The Chosen One.
Muscular men and almost
equally muscular women
make all sorts of
movements. some of them
suggestive, some com-
bative, none of them pleas-
ing to the eye.
Look, we don't wish to be
outrageous but watching
the work could make us
think of nothing more, or
less, than Monty Python's
Gay Boys in Bondage. Get
the picture?
To be fair, the work does
demand superb muscular
coordination, strength and
skill on the part of all the
dancers but then, so does
gymnastics which has no
place on any stage in any
theatre unless so billed.
To be honest as well. one
trust admit being offended
by the costuming. We don't
mean what it was meant to
suggest but rather what it
reveals. Everyone knows
that ballerinas are not
voluptuous. If they ever
seem so it's because of
costuming. Ballerinas are
quite muscular and to see
them so presented is to
take away much of the
magic of the stage.
During the presentation
of Rite we tried to concen-
trate our mind upon the
darling buds of May. The
eyes. however, saw nothing
but tiny knobs on saplings.
A most disappointing
work. for us anyway and.
we suspect, much of the au-
dience. The applause was
perfunctory and for the ef-
forts of the dancers, not the
wok itself.
Paquita, ah Paquita.
what a gorgeous piece of
theatre in general and
ballet in particular!
It's really a long diver-
tumeme,nt to the music of
Minkus and Drigo as
choreographed by Natalia
Makarova after Peitips.
Yet, it's a divertissement
in the grand manner:
romantic dancing, elegant
movements, superb
presentation -
Kimberley Glassco
paired with Rex Harr-
ington as the principal
dancers arc, as always,
thrilled with their
elegance. (There's that
word again Messrs.
Alleyne and Tetley. ► Yet, it
was the work of the four
Ladies of the quartet danc-
ing the variations who won
the hearts of the audience.
They were Jennifer Four-
nier, Margaret Illman•
Sarah Green and Chan Hon
Goh. Miss Green's Varia-
tion III can only be describ-
ed as spectacular.
And. Paquita can only
and best be described as
what ballet should be.

Jeremy Ransom danced
les pas de deux from
Ddibes Sylvia. This was
immediately after Split
House and we cannot
escape the feeling that it
was so scheduled in order
to keep the audience after
the earlier work. If so, the
reasoning worked and one
is grateful that it did.
Sylvia is one of the great
ballets and Iko Ddibes is
one of the great composers
of music for the ballet.
Sylvia is arguably his
finest work. The
choreography is by Ilan'.
and Balanchine after
Eglevsky. All that is need-
ed for a complete triumph
is fine dancing.
Enter Miss Ulman and
Mr. Ransom with their
almost patented -and we
make no apology for the
repetition of the word -
elegance. The two are
delightfully matched in
both talent and attrac-
tiveness.
Four works: two suc-
cesses. In baseball
parlance that's paying 500
and that's not bad.
SUNLMER THEATRE:
Your correspondent has
never allowed himself, or
anyone else within his
po arnetre, to forget that
show business is 50% show
and 50% business.
The reason "the show
must go onfor instance.
is that management has no
intention of giving an au-
dience its money back. ►
Yet, it's a magical business
and most of les associated
with it, bowe -er miargioal-
ly. are so because we love
the magic of it all. Only
that magic can account for
a pleasant experience at
the recent media con-
ference nicely hosted by
G.M. Martin Onrot to an-
nounce The O'Keefe's Sum -
One of the four slows is
the award winning City of
Angels. It's a send up -
maybe -of Hollywood in its
gold years and the great
private eye flicks: sort of a
Busby Berkeley musical as
it might have been written
by Raymond Chandler.
The male lead will be
played by BaM Williams
seen a few years ago at
Stage West in Romance,
Romance.
The female lead will be
Betsy Joslyn. She took her
Monday off day to fly up to
Toronto to sing a couple of
numbers from the show ac-
companied at the piano by
its musical director. She
was and, we're sure, is sen-
sational.
Now, just consider.
Here's a young, attractive
lady with a day off from a
gruelling show: yet, she
flies up from New York for
a noon hour presentation of
two songs.
That's dedication! That's
show business!
Two of the other offer-
ings are Cats and Evita.
Evidently Toronto can't get
enough of them. Cats
played to a 92% audience
last summer. Of particular
note is the return of Valerie
Perri in the title role of
Evita.
The fourth show is The
Music of Andrew Lloyd
Webber with Michael
Crawford, the original
Phantom of the Opera. We
Deed hardly say more.
Still, we hasten to add
that each show is booked
for an initial short run.
That means that none will
"Amadeus" A Magnificent Production
by Frank Knight
The difference between
professional and communi-
ty theatre is not matey but
artistic discipline and pro-
duction values. Too often in
community theatre, the
lack of production values in
a show is due to lack of
knowledge and/or training.
Stage Centre Produc-
tions Artistic Director, Mr.
L. Garth Allen, is a man
whose theatre knowledge
and integrity is beyond
question. This is shown
time and again in their pro-
ductions which are of a
very high standard and
professional appearance.
In their fmal production
of their 15th anniversary
season they chose the play
'Amadeus" by Peter Shaf-
fer a leading British
playwright.
In a provocative way it
deals with the confronta-
tion between Antonio
Salieri, court composer at
the court of Austrian
Emperor Joseph 11 and
Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart.
Peter Shaffer has
speculated on this confron-
Ubw and supported by
certain circumstantial
evidence, has woven a tale
of breathtaking dramatic
power. The setting of the
play is. of course, 1'th and
Ilea century.
Keeping in mind what I
stated previously. this is a
magnificent production. It
has an integral unit set of
such beauty and at-
masphere to take your
breath away. Tlx group
built everyone of the
chandliers, the furniture,
the special props, and even
the spinnet! All the
costumes (which are
beautifully
coordinated)tbe hats, the
wigs and even the shoes!
The lighting, sound and
whole presentation is
superb. On the artistic side.
the 23 actors showed
be extended regardless of
custom if other scheduling
doesn't permit. So, don't
wait to purchase tickets.
Get them now. You'll be
sorry if you don't. War-
ranted!
L AF F TIME:
With that cut line, we
should be back writing ads
for the old Casino burles-
que theatre. (It was on the
site of the present Sheraton
Centre. Progress? )
Anyway, after leaving
The O'Keefe we found our
way to Stop 33 of Sutton
Place at the invitation of
Mary Arsenault. The occa-
sion was the media an-
nouncement of the People's
Comedy Festival. Running
from June 12th to June 21st
at several locations
throughout the city, the
festival will welcome -u-
tually the best of North
American comedians.
Among them will be Mort
Sahl, George Carlin, Louie
Anderson, Jim Carrey,
Yakov Smirnoff, Sandra
Bernhard, "Wierd Al"
Yankovic, Tim Conlon and.
.George Burns.
It's been stated that this
will be Mr. Burns' first ap-
pearance in Toronto since
1927. It might be his first
performing appearance
since then but he and
discipline and wonderful
ensemble work and I wish I
could list the whole pro-
gram. Enough to say is that
the two main characters.
Salieri played by Roger
Kell and Mozart played by
Ken Godrnere were skilful
in their acting and
characterization and gave
us two outstanding perfor-
mances.
Judy Gans gave us her
usual lovely stage presence
and acting ability as
Mozart's wife. This is a
$'must see" show for
anyone who is interested in
live theatre. Tickets are
still available for this last
week.
The show deserves a
100', sellout. It is
presented at the Fairview
Library Theatre, 35 Fair-

8 Million Involved In Fitness
Canada's Fitweek, May

celebration of physical ac-
tivity in the world. Now in
it's tenth year, Fitweek has
already introduced
millions of Canadians to
physical activities of their
choice while eacorag.09
them to remain active year
round. This year
organizers anticipate that
over eight million Cana-
dians win participate in
various activities and
"celebrate active living".
In view of the fact that
only one third of the
population is active enough
to benefit their health.

Well Being in Canada.
IM) Fitweek's aim is to
encourage all Canadians to
incorporate regular
physical activity into their
everyday lives. F-itweek
places the emphasis
ease and fun of physal a

The campaign provides
an opportunity for par-

tivities and to socialize
while being physically ac-
tive. Canadians number

simple ways to build

Each year an extensive

Getting Children Fit For Life
"Serious health pro-
blems could result if efforts
aren't taken to make Cana-
dian children lit for life,"
warns Dr. Anthony
Graham, Volunteer Presi-
dent of the Heart and
Stroke Foundation of
Canada.
In promoting the Interna-
tional Conference of
Physical Activity, Fitness
and Health held in Toronto
May 10-13. Dr. Graham
says Canadian children
and youth could be more
active and healthy.
"Active chimer, with
support, will hopefully
become active adults,"
says Dr. Graham. "'Itne
challenge is instilling a
healthy attitude towards
regular physical activity at
a young age. especially
among young women who
tend to leave active
lifestyles behind as they
become teenagers.
"However, there must be
the political and societal
will to make this happen.
All sector of our society
whether it be health,
education, sport, fitness,
recreation, government,
private industry or
volunteer organizations

a real impact on the en-
vironment that affects our
younger generation," he
says.

Surviving The Recession At EARN
For more than boo
unemployed senior ex-
ecutives in the Toronto
area, there's a rainbow of
support and motivation
every Friday afternoon.
That's when EARN - the
Executive Advancement
Resource Network holds its
weekly meetings. Whether
they've been laid -off, given
the golden handshake or
fired, they all have one
thing in common: the
desire to work again.
Sharpening job search
skills, focusing on the right
job and developing con-
tacts for a 1900s profes-
sional search are the
primary concerns at
EARN meetings. Weekly
guest speakers cover topics
such as job lead develop-
ment, resume writing, in-
terviewing skills and
motivation. Plus, a part of
each meeting is devoted to
networking, sharing leads
and building new friend-
ships.
As EARN founder Col-
leen Clarke explains. "Our
self-esteem and identity
are tied so closely into our
work that when we're
unemployed we often feel
like non -entities. The net-
work allows people to feel a
part of something that's
constructive and positive."
Clarke began EARN with
a small meeting of
unemployed executives in
October, 1990, and since
then the group has
registered more than 650
members, 135 of whom
have gone on to new jobs
and many others are on
contract or temporary
assignment.
Clarke explains that high
levels of unemployment
among professionals and
executives have an impact
far beyond their family and
friends. "1t filters right
down to every kitchen table
in Canada. Spending and
investment are cut from
every level of the economy.
The recession becomes a
way of life.
Members of EARN are
the people who hire others:
creators, innovators and
entrepreneurs. It's vitally
important that they con-
tinue to be active. and
we're here to help them
combat the problems they
face in finding employ-
ment.
"People facing a long,
difficult job search tend to
lose their focus, their net-
works dry up and their self
esteem takes a plunge.
EARN helps them learn
new job search techniques,
refreshes their networks
and introduces them to a
support group."
In addition to providing
support to members,
EARN also offers a
resource for prospective
employers: free career op-
portunity postings read
avidly by a large and
talented personnel pool.
And for the significant
others of EARN members,
bi-monthly get-togethers
offer a chance to share
their concerns and coping
strategies.
EARN's weekly
meetings take place every
Friday from I to 4 p.m at
the Toronto North Central
Library•, ltd floor. 40 Or-
chard View Blvd. near
Yonge and Eglinton. New
members are welcome and
are asked to corse at 12:30
for orientation. EARN
members pay a one-time
registration fee of 520, and
$2 per meeting -

IODE Ontario Annual Meeting
IODE's "Focus on
Children in the 1990's" con-
tinued to capture the hearts
of the over 5.500 members
in this province during
1991.
The Lieutenant Governor
of Ontario, the Eon. Henry
Jackman, O.St.J.. B.A.,
LLB.. L. L D.. listened as
the annual reports were
highlighted. In 1991, [ODE
in Ontario raised and spent
over $1.4 million and
donated over 445,000 work-
ing hours of service to this
province.
The total sum expended
by [ODE members in On-
tano for Services work was
$783,500 including 322 car-
tons of articles from the
Provincial Packing Room.
A special Services project
for 1991 was directed to In-
terval House in Kingston, a
Crisis Centre that urgently
required repairs and
renovations to flooring,
bathrooms and a play area
for children. $9,000 was
spent on this project.
The Canadian Associa-
tion of Genetic Counsellors
extended "immense
gratitude" to the Provin-
cial Chapter of Ontario
IODE for the generous
financial support in fun-
ding the compilation of the
"National Directory of
Support Groups". This
directory has been
distributed to a wide range
of medical professionals
and is for the first time
linking families of children
with rare health concerns.
In keeping with IODE's
92 year history of being
proudly Canadian, good
citizenship was recognized.
Provincial Constable Ver-
non D. Fleming of the
Tillsonburg Detachment
was this year's LODE On-
tano Police Community
Relations Award recipient.
Concern for this pro-
vince's best natural
resource, children, was ex-
tended to the Robarts
School in London once
again in providing for the
Enrichment Computer
Camp for Communication
Exceptionalities. The pur-
chase of two Apple com-
puters for the students'
residence and the donation
to the Robarts Scholl fo
Xerox Kurzweil Personal
Reader , an optical scanner
that turns print into
speech i help ensure that
these special children
develop their potentials.

Olympic Trials Montreal
by Muriel Warden
Scarborough Swim Club

through 17th.
Elizabeth Warden 14, has
made the qualifying Na -
bona] time standard in the
100 and 200 metres

metres freestyle. Bob
Hayes 15, and Nick Bilyk
18, are also backstroke

This is a "once in four

Swimmers may enter on-
ly the events in which they

also must make the Olym-
pic standard in his or her
event.
It is an honotw for Scar-
borough Swim Aub to send

While working with
Reena clients, Nyman was
impressed by their general
lack of inhibition. "They
haven't been socialized to
think that certain colours
don't go together the way
most people have and so
their use of colour is often
more daring." she com-
ments.
Krawczyk was impress-
ed by the originality and in-
dividuality evident in much
of the art produced by the
Reena clients. "In any
other situation, most peo-
ple have a tendency to be
influenced by their peers,"
she says. "whereas here,
no one ever gets the feeling
that they have to paint like
everyone else or be like
everyone else...

moisture and oils. to the same

taut.
Dermatologists agree that the
sun's UVB and UVA rays are
enemy number one of beautiful
skin. The most effective way to
protect skin from these rays is
to wear protective clothing and
protect sensitive areas- Consis-

Good simple skincare need not

Cleansing. The first step in
caring for skin is cleansing
to help remove any impuri-
ties from the surface. While
clean skin is important,
overwashing can dry out the
skin by drawing out the
skin's natural oils and water.
Showering is less drying for

'HIS WEEK
Al from Ottawa
with Rene Soetens, M.P.
Major changes are afoot at Canada Post. The Corporation
has - in the past 10 years - developed from a $600 million a
year burden on the taxpayer to a profit making business
that is recognized globally as a leader in postal and com-
munications technology. The employees are the people who
have made this possible, and the federal government
believes that as the Corporation enters its second decade,
the employees should be given the opportunity to share in
the fruits of their labour.
To this end, the government recently took the first step to
allow employees of Canada Post to own shares in the Crown
Corporation. Harvie Andre, the Minister responsible for
Canada Post. introduced legislation enabling Canada Post
Corporation to create an Employee Share Savings Plan to
allow employees to invest in the company.
Mr. Andre stated that "Canada Post has made fundamen-
tal changes to improve service and reliability. These are
changes that Canadians demanded. Ensuring employee
participation through a share savings plan is a common-
sense next step to ensure that improvement continues...
Improved customer service and financial self-sufficiezncy
are the major factors in the Canada Post turnaround.
Canada Post is now recognized as a modern, effective
postal system able to compete with the best in the world at a
price that Canadians can afford. The Corporation will con-
tinue to develop new technologies in order to meet new
markets. In the process, employees will be fundamental to
building on that achievement as the corporation expands its
courier. parcel. and mail information transfer businesses.
Indeed, studies in the private sector and numerous coun-
tries w'orid-wide have shown that participation through
plans such as this is a strong motivating factor in employee
contribution to customer mer service and economic perfor-
mance.
The federal government believes that allowing
employees to participate through an Employee Share Sav-
ings Plan will usher in a new partnership between manage-
mnent and employees at Canada Post. The results will be im-
provements to both morale and service in Canada's postal
system.

Drug For Treating Schizophrenia
Clozapine, a drug for treating schizophrenia, is to be pro-
vided to the Ontario patients most likely to benefit from it,
Health Minister Frances Lankin has announced.
The drug is intended for patients who cannot tolerate or
are not helped by other drug treatments for schizophrenia.
Although not all patients who try clozapine find it helpful,
studies show that those who do respond often see a
dramatic improvement in quality of life.
