Port Perry High School Students Study Attendance Much has been written about student retention. Although Port Perry High School does not have a high drop out rate, students decided to take the student retention issue into their own hands this year. In May 1993, 11 members of the 10 to Stay In School Committee travelled to Ed- monton to attend a national Stay In School Conference. On their return, they decid- ed to conduct a survey at Port Perry High School to determine students' needs. The survey was designed to deal with reasons for at- tending school, the school climate in both the teaching and program areas, and reasons for staying in school or dropp- ing out. It was conducted early in this school year to gather as many students' opinions as possible prior to any of them dropping out. Eight hundred and for- ty of the school's 1100 students completed and returned the survey forms. "The results were sur- prising," said committee members Doug Taylor and Nicole Gibson, herself a former drop-out. "We learned that grade 10 seems to be the year that more students consider leaving school and, therefore, the year that it is most crucial to counsel students about the benefits of staying in school until graduation." School Based Support counsellor Cindy Cole agrees. "We need to continue to expand on the positives of staying in school." she said. The committee noticed a downward trend in at- titudes about school at the grade 9 and 10 levels, which reversed to become a positive trend in the follow- ing grades. Many students expressed indecision about staying in school or dropp- ing out of school. Few dif- ferences existed in the answers from male and female students. The students felt strongly about the need for good relation- ships with teachers and in- creased support for students who are single parents. The 10110 Stav In School Committee is composed of about 15 students, ages 15 to 21 years, who are still in school or who have dropped out and dropped back in again. They are busy at this time presenting the results of their survey to school and board officials and to various conference groups. Beginning Dec. 1, they sat down with staff at Port Perry High School to come up with suggestions for pro- gram changes and addi- tional support mechanisms which could be put in place to encourage students to stay in school. Committee members are confident their work will result in more attention to students at risk and increased stu- dent retention in the years to come.

February 16, 1994 Opinion a page for expression for you and us About Immigration by Bob Watson It is very unfortunate that Sergio Marchi, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, has decided to carry out the liberal Party's campaign promise to keep the annual im- migration into Canada at 250,000 people. Oh, we know that many more than that number want to come to Canada but we believe that the first priority in this issue is to calculate how many people we Canadian tax- payers can accommodate with the tax dollars available. Our opinion suggests that at the most we should allow 150,000 immigrants into our country. At least, however. !Marchi says that refugees will be dealt with quicker than before. Our current policy has been to put refugees into accommodation (for which we taxpayers pay!) and keep them there for two years. They are also for- bidden to enter our work force. We believe that our government will have to face the cold, hard facts that Canada may go broke just trying to help refugees. We know that there are millions of potential refugees in the world - but Canada just can't afford to han- dle everybody who wants to come here. If we are going to get our federal finances back into shape, every department must be reorganized and effi- cientized. This country can't continue to spend and borrow. Let's get realistic! Immigration is not an area of govern- ment which can help the economy. But we suggest that new immigrants should have skills to offer us. Minister Delivers 1994 Immigration Plans sergio Marchi. Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, has presented the government's 1994 immigration levels to the House of Corsunom. The target for this year is set at 250.000. "This level reflects this government's commitment, set out in the Red Book. to maintain immigration at approx- imatel% one percent of Canada's population." stated Mar- chi. "Specifically. prormses to prionne family class and in- dependent skilled immigration, while promoting a humanitanan policy toward_. refugees, have been honoured .. The number of family class immigrants will increase by 1,300 over last year for a total of 111.01)o), representing 45 percent of overall levels. The stream for independent im- migrants - those selected primarily for their labour market skills -- will increase by almost 10.000 for a total of 96,00. This class. combined with business-related applicants, ac- counts for 44 percent of the total levels. In keeping with Canada's international commitment to refugees, the number of refugees will be increased by 3.501) for a total of 28.31X) for 1994. Government sponsored refugees will number 7.300 up 7,00,. privately sponsored are set at 6.000 up lAwl. while successful refuge claimants to be landed in Canada are estimated at 15.111)0 1 up 1.4001. Importantly. the refugee levels are at a max- imum with respect to budgetary and settlement programs established in IW3 "I especially want to work more closely and cooperatively with the pnvate sector in resettling overseas refugees." said .Niarcht. "As we outlined during the election campaign, the sponsorship of refugees from abroad by government and pnvate initiatives, will be encouraged as it is a quicker, more humane and more cost-effective means of ensunng assistance to those who legitimately need refuge." The levels report to the House of Commons also contains new information regarding estimated out -migration, visitor visas, student visas. work permits and supplemen- tary humanitarian assistance initiatives for refugees worldwide. These additional insights provide a more ac- curate and dynamic reflection of the movement of people entering and leaving Canada, and will become a permanent fixture of future levels presentations. "While the previous government's failure to establish the 1994 levels last June presented the new administration with time and decision constraints.- concluded Marchi. "I was determined about keeping our Red Book pledges upon which we will build a sound and forward-looking immigra- tion policy."

Ontano's Heritage - More Than Meets The Eye is our theme for this year's celebrations. What we are all ex- periencing at this very moment contributes to the seamless continuity of Ontario's past, present and future heritage. Our heritage is the '57, chewy which was built by Oshawa's GM plant. It is the turn -cif -the -centum• Victorian house sit- ting on the corner It is the Toronto Blue Jays winning back- to-back World Series championships. It is the majestic beauty of Niagara Falls. Heritage takes from the past what a community thinks is valuable and wants to preserve. It comets in all forms - from the tangible, our old buildings and archeological sites, to the intangible, our rites and rituals and our stones. And it is also our natural, cultural and spiritual heritage. Heritage is the total environment w•e have inherited from the past, are Improving in the present and will hand on to the future. Ontario's heritage, first and foremost, is about people. Our identity and character are rooted in a rich and diverse heritage. Everyone has a place. Let us all celebrate the values and institutions we share as Ontarians, as well as the diverse traditions and aspirations of our many peoples and communities. This week marks a time to appreciate and acknowledge the people in our communities who dedicate themselves to conserving and developing our heritage. We applaud their contribution. Dunng Ontario Heritage Week I encourage you to express commitment to conserving and sharing your heritage through support and participation in local events. Yours sincerely, Anne Swarbrick, Minister of Culture, Tourism and Recreation. Make Your Feelings Known Queen's Park Report Anne Swarbrick, M.P.P. Scarborough West Interim Report on Correctional Services Released The Commission on Systemic Racism in the Criminal Justice System, set up by the Ontario Government, recently released its interim report. Interestingly, problems identified by the Commission were already identified and being acted upon by Solicitor General and Minister of Correctional Services David Christopherson. The research undertaken by the Ministry on its own with correctional staff was shared with the Com- mission as it prepared its report. The Ministry recognizes that systemic racism exists in the correctional system and that it must work to eliminate it. The Commission report identifies three main problems: racial hostility and intolerance in institutions, racial segregation of inmates, and racial inequality in the delivery of programs and services. Here's what the Ministry has done so far: appointed a race relations coordinator for Correctional Services; establish- ed four worksite anti -racism committees on a pilot basis to promote discussion of racial and cultural issues and resolve issues at a local level; developed a statement of profes- sional ethics, with the help of staff and union represen- tatives; provided training for staff on the government's Workplace Discrimination and Harrassment Prevention Policy; and reinstated funding for ethno-specific program- ming.. We believe that positive change is possible, and we're con- tinuing to wont towards elimination of systemic racism in the criminal justice system. News From Ottawa from Dan McTeague MP Ontario Riding Prime Minister Jean Chretien has announced a com- prehensive national action plan to combat cigarette smug- gling in Canada. "We now have a government in Ottawa that is prepared to take decisive action against cigarette smuggling which has reached epic proportions across our country," said Dan McTeague. M.P., Ontario Riding. "Over the last few years, cigarette smuggling has been increasing steadily without appropriate federal initiatives to combat the problem. As a result, cheap contraband cigarettes have been able to find a lucrative domestic market, especially among our youth. In addition, con- siderable tax revenues derived from the legal sale of cigarettes in Canada, that would have been used for our social and health programs, have been lost," added McTeague. "'Ile government's plan involves several interrelated components designed to crack down on organized crime. target individuals who break the law; reduce the pro- fitability of smuggling; stop the illegal importation of Canadian -made cigarettes from the U.S.; fund anti - smuggling measures through a surtax on tobacco manufac- turing profits: and reduce tobacco consumption. par- ticularly by young people.- concluded McTeague. About Cycling from Metro By Cycle History was made in November of 1993, when Metro's Transportation Committee voted against Metro's Transportation Department and referred the issue of wide curb lanes to Metro's new Cycling Committee. Now we're on the verge of another historical moment!Metro's Transportation Department recently presented a plan to widen Sheppard Ave. in Scarborough ( near the Rouge Valley) to four lanes for can - and trucks. But at a recent Metro Council Meeting, led by Olivia Chow, Council modified the plan to include Bicycle Lanes. Now Metro By Cycle needs your help'. There are fears that Metro Transportation Department will go back to council and argue that it's not kpossible to include the Bike Lanes in the road widening plan - the curb lanes will be extremely wide at 4.5 metres. Metro By Cycle needs you to phone contact your Metro Councillor to let them know just how important this prece- dent setting decision is to you and that Metro Council can't back dowry from this decision ( Metro Council is elected - Metro's Transportation Department is not!). The original vote at council was close. Today it's an arterial road in Scarborough but tomorrow it could be a metro road in your neighbourhood. This is a critical first step and we need your support and action! Let your councillor know the importance of these Bike Lanes to vou.

The more money you accumulate in your plan, the more com- fortable the lifestyle you can look forward to when you stop working. To get the best results from your RSP, you have to manage it properly. That means reviewing your plan periodically, monitoring your returns, and, most im- portant, choosing the in- vestments that are right for you. Because they combine safety and guaranteed return, many people use interest-bearing in- vestments such as guaranteed investment certificates or term deposits as the core holdings in their plan. It's a good idea to continue to do that, even when rates are down. However, if you're com- fortable with the idea of ac- cepting a little more risk in exchange for potentially higher returns, you could consider diversifying your RSP. You do this by incor- porating other types of in- vestments into your plan, such as mutual funds. If you decide to diversify, keep in mind that the better the potential performance from any investment, the higher the potential risk. ' Here are the three types of investments you can in- clude in your RSP: Savings -oriented in - .vestments are best suited for investors seeking max- imum safety.

It arrives an- nually with a resounding, yet reassuring, thud. Its full name is the Directory of Community Services in Metropolitan Toronto. But is the social service com- munity, it is known simply as the "Blue Book". The 1994 edition of the "Blue Book" is the definitive listing of the area's community, social service, non-profit and governmental agencies and programs. It really is the one essential source. Its 810 pages detail the services provided by over 1,200 individual agencies. the Blue Book is designed by question rather than by answer - you indicate your needs and the Blue Book leads you to the solution. The volatility of the com- munity service system throughout Metro Toronto has resulted in changes to over 65% of the entries - a record. In addition, nearly 50 new agencies are listed. The Blue Book is publish- ed by the Community Infor- mation Centre of Metropolitan Toronto. In many ways, it's one of Metro's best kept secrets. It is an independent non- profit agency which has been in existence since 1952. Its basic mission in- volves linking people with services. Low Back Pain Chiropractic Management On Wed. Feb. 16th at 8 p.m. at the ballroom, Crowne Plaza Hotel, 225 Front St. W. Toronto there will be a public meeting with Prof. Pran Manga, who will speak on ••Chiropratic Management of Low Back Pain." An interdisciplinary au- dience will hear first hand why University of Ottawa Professor Pran Manga recommends in his recent- ly released report that chiropractic management of low back pain is more ef- fective and cost effective than treatment by physi- cians. The Manga Report,com- missioned by the Ontario Ministry of Health, in- cludes findings and 10 recommendations that could, if implemented, save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars annually in Ontario alone. Other key findings in- clude chiropractic care of low back pain is more ef- fective than alternative treatments; workers suf- fering from low back pain injuries return to work more quickly when treated by a chiropractor; and there is a far greater level of patient satisfaction with chiropractic care as oppos- ed to medical care. Manga will outline his findings and their potential impact upon taxpayers, how back pain patients, and the health care system, at this public meeting organized by the Ontario Chiropractic Association and the Hamilton Chiropractic Society. Prof. Manga will take questions from the floor. Fashionable Fundraiser Celebrates 30th.

February 16, 1994 THE NEWS/ POST Page 7 Scarborough Doctor Plays Role In High Blood Pressure Study Dr. John Charles of Scar- borough is one of some 90 Canadian physicians serv- ing as investigators in a pioneering international research project, the "Hypertension Optimal Treatment (HOT) Study," and is seeking patients with high blood pressure to par- ticipate. Dr. Charles and his worldwide colleagues are seeking something physicians have never had fore: a specific target for lowering blood pressure. The ambitious study will be evaluating a total of 18,000 patients, including 1,500 Canadians, men and women, aged 50 to 80, with primary hypertension. Pa- tients interested in par- ticipating or physicians in- terested in referring pa- tients should call 1--800-361-5233. "It is clear that lowering blood pressure reduces risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. The question is how low should we go? If we treat hypertension more aggressively than we do now, will the incidence of cardiovascular illness and death continue to decline?," asks Dr. Car- ruthers of Dalhousie University and Victoria General Hospital in Halifax and Canada's represen- tative on the international "Hot Study" Executive Committee. "Hot Study" coordinators believe that study results could significantly influence the future of hypertension management interna- tionally. The Canadian arm of the "Hot Study" will include a cost effectiveness compo- nent. "We hope to find out how many heart attacks and strokes are prevented and at what total cost to our health care system," says Dr. Carruthers. Endorsed by the Euro- pean Society of Hyperten- sion, this prospective, ran- domized study is expected to follow 18,000 patients worldwide for a mean period of 2.5 years (equal to at least 40,000 patient- years) . The "Hot Study" will assess the relationship between major car- diovascular events, such as non-fatal myocardial in- farction, non fatal stroke and cardiovascular death, and target diastolic blood pressures of 90, 85 and 80 mm Hg during an- tihypertensive treatment. Heart disease and stroke are Canada's number one killers, and hypertension is Scarborough Arts Events Thurs.

A recent study of the Canadian Heart Health Surveys Research Group, entitled "Prevalence, control and awareness of high blood pressure among Canadian adults," found that 16 per- cent of those subjects are unaware of the condition." Patients will only par- ticipate in the study on the basis of informed consent. The HOT Study is regulated by several in- dependent committees which will manage its ad- ministration, evaluate clinical events, monitor its safety and validate its ac- curacy. The international co- ordinating centre is at the Ostra Hospital, University of Goteborg, Sweden. Dr. Pierre Larochelle of the University of Montreal and the Hotel Dieu Hospital in Montreal is serving on the international Steering Committee and Dr. John McKenzie of the University of Manitoba and Health Sciences Centre in Win- nipeg is part of the Interna- tional Data Audit Commit- tee. For the purposes of this study, Plendil (felodipine), a calcium antagonist, has been chosen worldwide as the antihypertensive treat- ment of first choice. Plen- dil was selected because it is highly effective, well tolerated, and can be used in a variety of patients, in- cluding those who take other medications. Other agents may be added as necessary. The Hot Study will also evaluate if low doses of ASA added to antihyperten- sive treatment reduces the incidence of major car- diovascular events. Secon- dary analyses will focus on the influence of other fac- tors on the study's out- come.

Remember, your Coaching your child's hockey team is one child is like all players, and extra pressure of the greatest challenges you can face as a can age self-esteem and take the tum coach. By establishing clear roles and out of hockey. objectives, and using effective communication, you will ensure the experience is rewarding for your, your child and other participants. Here are more suggestions: At the start of the season. establish that you will treat your child like ail other players. Commumcatc this to vour child and ensure heishe understands that your relationship is coach -player at the arena, and parent-child once you leave. Respect these roles by leaving the coach at the rink: don't continuously talk about what happened at the arena. !Never compromise these roles by overplaying or favouring your child this is unfair to otter players and will cause dissension among players and parents. On the other hand never place unrealistic demands on your child just to show everyone that you - give your child the same objective feedback you provide to all players: be honest and specific and leave v_ our emotions out of it - don't live your life through your child: let than experience the game on their own - use assistant coaches to provide your child with different perspectives on the game Circumstances sometimes dictate that parents serve as volunteer coaches. Develop your hockey coaching skills through the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) and Initiation programs and encourage other parents to do the same. sales' Welwyn Wilton Katz A very special "Cupid" thank you to all staff who so Willingly donated their free At Upper Canada College time to return to school to help assist us with our dance.

(There are those who (believe it doesn't deserve one, for reasons best left unsaid lest they be con- strued as invective over perceived slighting treat- ment.)

This is the final instal- ment of a trilogy that has previously included My Boy Friend's Back ( And There's Gonna Be Laun- dry) and ditto ( the Cycle Continues) .

Along the way, she tangents -pure journalese - into reflections upon her childhood in Sudbury as the daughter of Greek im- migrants to rationalize her view of society. (Hey Honecakes, you should have experienced growing up as a Celtic Scot in T.O.'s Junction, perilously close to the Honky'.) Her material is hilarious and her delivery of same, virtually flawless. She's bold but not overly brash, bright but not blinding, comic but not crass. Well, perhaps just a tad as in her description of being whisk- ed to a bridal shower after making love. . ."But Honey. I'm not, you know. fresh." Or, in describing a telephone conversation with a girl friend ... No. you didn't interupt anything. He's just wiping his d—k an the curtain."

We saw it again at The O'Keefe recently and were, as always, completely won over by it. Jeremy Ransom was a last minute replace- ment for Pierre Quinn and he partnered Sarah Green as the lovers Franz and Swanilda. It's not known to us how often the two have danced together so one is forgiving of a few lapses more than compensated for by the sheer enchantment of see- ing these two youngsters portraying young love in dance. Among the soloists, Stephan Arnold was quite winning in the title role and Caroline Richardson was an enchanting Dawn. The second act of Coppelia is a virtual diver- tissement but one in which the role of the corps isn't downplayed. The corps was in fine form on the evening of our attendance and the discipline instilled it by ar- tistic Director Reid Ander- son was clearly evident. One young man stumbl- ed, recovered quickly and continued dancing. Then, he stumbled again and. . .again kept dancing. Pro- bably few in the audience noticed the double fault. A fine tribute to a fine corps. Incidentally, it was the same spot on stage where the two miscues occurred and The Column has notic- ed before that it's an awkward one. It's to the au- dience left and about half way between the lap and the cyc. One suspects it has something to do with the resillienncy of the stage timbering at the point. If we're making any point at all it's that we had to be alert to see even the tiniest of flaws in this most enjoyable of ballets. HAPPY NEW YEAR: The current scabrous weather ought well con- spire to conjure up quintessential dog days. Yet, living as or like a dog needn't be all that had, for the next 12 months anyway. This is the Chinese year of The Dog and The Column was there to help usher it in. The place was the Man- dann Club on the top floor of Dragon city. The cor- porate host was the Hong Kong Tourist Association. The reason for the gather- ing was the pure pleasure of fine food over nine courses and good compa- nions sharing the pleasure of welcoming a new year. Of course, it's hereditari- ly moving to one who still regards Haugh Ma Nai as the apogee of the solar cir- cumnavigation. ( We're mixing mathematical disciplines with family memories here but what matter?) So, we found ourself with the movers and shakers en- joying a wonderful evening and making a few mental notes on the way in which our world is becoming more hon wgeneous. There was the traditional Dragon Dance but one notices the dancers were weaning blue jeans and sneakers. There were servitors in cloth caps with were arrtifi�cial and attach- ed to the caps, sometimes askew. Still quiddity is what it was all about and the occ - Sion succeeded admirably. Incidentally, why anyone visiting Hong Kong would wish to eat anything other than oriental cuisine escapes us but be aware that the city offers cuisines from around the world. One can even eat Kosher. Oi vey! THEATRE NEWS: Fine food was also the order of the day following when we attended luncheon at the Canadian Stage Cen- tre.

Festival performers this year include singer songwriter Lenny Gallant; recording artists, The Barra MacNeil's; the Rosa Vaughn Trio; Jim Payne; balladeer Clary Croft and latin-style guitarist Oscar Lopez. Some 20 acts in all will perform at three venues - the marquis tent on Blockhouse Hill, on the har- bourside wharf next to the Fisheries Museum and downtown on the town bandstand. There are evening con- certs every night. Thurs- day to Sunday, and two afternoon concerts Friday through Sunday. This year will also feature a chiktren's program. The Lunenburg Folk Harbmw Festival is part of this year's "Village Fair" promotion, a province -wide celebration of Nova Scotia's small town hospitality and community sprit. The sea -flavoured setting and nautical charm of Lunenburg, famous for its ship -building skills and Victorian era horses. adds an air of authenticity to the festival now in its 9th year as a showcase for maritime -style songs, stories and music. Lunenburg is Nova Scotia's busiest fishing port with one of the world's largest fishing processing plants, located on the out- skirts of town. The racing schooner Bluenose, and its replica Bluenose 1I, were built and launched from Lunenburg shipyards, and mariners from around the world come to Lunenburg for ship's fittings, marine iron- work and drydock repairs to wooden vessels. Old Town Lunenburg has been declared a National Historic District with some 400 heritage buildings displaying the fancy wood- work and Victorian -age ar- chitecture of the last cen- tury. Lunenburg also hosts a major Craft Festival, July 9-10; the Fisheries Exhibi- tion and Fisheries Reunion. Aug. 25-28; and the Oktoberfest Celebration, Sept. 27, Oct- 2. The Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival is one of some 450 different com- munity festivals and events taking place in Nova Scotia as part of "The 66 Days of Summer", in honour of the 66 incorporated towns and villages sponsoring "Village Fair". Lunenburg is located on Nova Scotia's scenic Ughtho se Route. along the south Atlantic coast, about an hoir's drive from Halifax. Greater Fort Lauderdale i� l1 .` ►` i 1 .

In 1991 tourism earned almost $17 billion in revenues in Ontario. The tourism industry is a large employer. Ontario tourism accounted for over 272,000 direct jobs in 1991. Large corporations and multinational companies are part of Ontario's tourism industry, but the industry is made up primarily of independent businesses, often located in small communities. Tourism's ability to create and maintain jobs will continue to be important to the economy in all parts of the province. Almost 159 million visitors travelled within our province in 1991. Over 24 million of these were foreign visitors. By a wide margin, Ontario receives much more revenue from tourism than any other Canadian province. In 1990, British Columbia received 16% of the national total, Quebec receiv- ed 18%, while Ontario received 36% of the national tourism receipts. Tourist activity in Ontario helps raise Ontario's interna- tional profile by attracting non -tourism business. Much of the tourism infrastructure, such as hotels. meeting facilities and airports, is used by non -tourism businesses and is crucial to the development of international businesses in Ontario. Tourism increases the familiarity which potential in- vestors have with the province and showcases the benefits of Ontario as a place in which to do business. Worldwide, tourism is a very large industry with tremen- dous potential. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, it is the world's largest industry and the world's largest generator of jobs. Canada is among the top ten tourist destinations in the world, but from 1986 to 1991 Canada is the only one of the top ten which experienced a decrease in numbers of international tourist arrivals. Projections for the growth rate of tourism in Ontario over the next decade vary but there is a firm consensus that tourism will grow at a rate appreciably greater than the provincial average for most other industries.

The stated purpose of the project was to profile the nature of the current cultural composi- tion of the Lester B. Pear- son C.I. student population and to determine whether cultural values influence students' education. The project proposal was initiated by the Pearson school administration and the students have received their active support throughout the project. A detailed questionnaire was developed and ad- ministered on Dec. 9, 1993. The survey was anonymous and student participation was volun- tary. The full participation of all Pearson students was definitely encouraged. The students have inter- preted the survey results in their religious and linguistic attitudes toward school. The development of a new Pearson Cultural Profile could havea signifi- cant impact on Pearson, a school which has always at- tempted to improve in- struction for the students. It will help us to work toward having an even more integrated student body and the survey could clearly have an influence on future decision-making at the school. The Pearson C.I. office staff was very helpful in the typing and preparation of the final survey for school use. Students in the OAC Computer Studies class coded and tabulated the survey results. The results of this surrey should make it easier to live by the school motto. "Peace Through Understanding*'. The following is a sum- mary of the pnncipal fin- dings of the report: Represented in the Lester B. Pearson C.I. population were 31 distinct religious affiliations. Aside from the 574 born in Canada. 530 students were born in 58 different other countries. For 707 of 1109, their first language is English. Among the 402 ESL students, there were represented 45 other languages. The dominant second language groupings are Urdu. Gujarati, Can- tonese, Punjabi, Patoi, Tamil, Arabic, Hindi, Viet- namese, Portuguese. Of the 1109 students, 790 are Canadian citizens, 282 landed immigrants, 30 are refugees and 7 visa students. For the students, the birth countries of their fathers represented 83 dif- ferent countries and for their mothers 92 different countries. The United Nations has designated Toronto the most culturally diverse ci- ty in the world. These Malvern statistics il- lustrate the reason why we have earned that designa- tion.

Don't Use Big Words by Stefan Sierakowski In promulgating your esotenc cogitations or ar- ticulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable philosophical or psychological observa- tions, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compact comprehen- sibleness. coalescent con- sistency, and a con- catenated cogency. Eschew all conglomera- tions of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descantings and un- premeditated expatiations have intelligibility and voracious vivacity without rodomontade or phrasmical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psit- taceaus vacuity, ventrilo- quial verbosity, and ven- triloquent vapidity. Shun double entendres, prurient jocosity, and pestiferous profanity, observant or otherwise. In other words, talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly. Say what you mean, mean what you say, and "Don't use big words". 0SHAWA & DISTRICT COIN 0.112B The Coin Club meets once a month during most of the year except July and August, and normally meets on the se- cond Sunday of the month, unless it's a holiday.

COMMENT: We have been sent, and are grateful for a copy of Metro's Culture Plan, Redefining Our Cultural Framework. It's well put together and bears all the hallmark of some care in preparation. Having said that, however, one feels con- strained to ask why it was produced in the first place. No one needs to be told or reminded that the country as a whole is going through tough economic times. Culture is all well and good. It is in fact probably what makes life worth liv- ing. But surely, survival comes first. Let's concen- trate on jobs (repairing Metro's dreadful roads would be a good start) and the prevention of crime, among other issues, before "redefining our cultural framework". In any case, isn't there a bit of ox- ymoronism in the word "redefining"? How can anything be redefined? Either it's defined or it isn't. And. why is Metro so con- cerned about culture? Surely that should be a na- tional not regional con- sideration. Can it possibly be the case that Metropolitan Toronto is already plann- ing for that inevitable day when it joins Quebec in seceding from Canada? IN PRINT: Congrats to gorgeous Joyce Barslow as her Wed- dings and Honeymoons magazine begins its second year of publication. It just keeps getting better and better and securing more retail outlets including the important Lichtman's chain. Helping it along is a simply bodacious line up of contributing writers in- cluding Gino Empry and someone named Watt. He's the youngest and hand- somest of the W. FAST EXIT: R.P. M. magazine recent- ly ran a photograph of Clive Davis, the Englishman who is presi- dent of Arista Records the pronounces it to rhyme with barrister. Cor!) Mr. Davis was with Col- umbia Records when it was known as the Tiffany com- pany and headed by God- dard Lieberson. The latter was a man of fashion and one of his trademarks was the wearing of pocket han- dkerchieves made from the same material as the mat- ching neck tie. In the photograph, Mr. Davis is wearing such a pocket handkerchief in ob- vious emulation of his former employer. Too bad he's wearing it in a tuxedo. Tacky, tacky.
