New principal for community school

by Martha Lemieux First Avenue Public School has recently acquired a new principal, Mr. Norman Wing. Mr.

Wing's transfer from Pleasant Park Public School to First Avenue marks his second experience in a French Immersion - English stream school.

Mr. Wing was born in Ottawa but grew up in Lyndhurst, a small rural town located in Leeds County. He attended the local public school where he received both his primary and secondary education. From there he went to Teacher's College and then into the profession itself. After becoming a seasoned teacher, he returned to Ottawa University to acquire his Bachelors and Master of Education on a part - tirne basis. He added the final touch to his academic training by following the principal's program at Queen' s University.

Mr. Wing heartily supports community schools, a reflection no doubt of his happy days at school in Lyndhurst. He views them as "some touchstone to touch upon" in our highly complex society. The school for him is an integral part of the cornmunity and should act as a continuum in the life of the child. He embraces his new job in the spirit of "adjusting his philosophy to the philosophy of the community". 14e intends to pursue a worthwhile combination of the two.

Area committees formed On Thursday, October 27, after years of waiting, and many meetings, the Glebe sect.on of

the Capital Ward Neighbourhood Study finally got uriderway. At a well- attended general meeting at the Community Centre, residents approved with minor

amendments a committee structure worked out by the planning staff from opinions expressed at earlier area meetings, then broke into five area groups to constitute their working committees.

Area committee meetings, as well as interest committee meetings (transportation, commer- cial, land use, etc. ) are already scheduled. Please see the notice in this paper.

All meetings, at all levels, are open, so make this your plan by noting on your calendar the next meeting planned for your area, as well as the interest committees which most concern you, and be sure to attend, so that the Plan will reflect your needs and interests.

By Sandra Hawkins On October 20, 1977 a group of Glebe residents and would

be residents came together to explore the possibility of form - ing a Glebe Non - profit Continuing Housing Co - operative. This responsible group of citizens are concerned that there be housing in the Glebe for a diversity of income groups. The Rehabilitation Housing Co- op would be based very much on the Dalhousie Housing Co - op experience which has proved to be quite successful. What is a Rehabilitation Continuing Non- Profit Housing Co- operative?

A Continuing Housing Co - op is a group of people living in the community who come together and incorporate them - selves under the Provincial Non- profit Act. This is not to be confused with co- op housing where a group of people live

co - operatively in one housing unit which may be rented from a private land lord.

As a legal non- profit corporation the Continuing Housing Co- op is eligible for Central Mortgage and Housing assis - tance in buying and renovating housing units at below market costs. This allows that member residents of individual hous - ing units with-in the co - op pay monthly payments to co - ver only the costs of their particular unit which over a period of time is relatively lower than rising market values. A Re - hab. Co- op is one which buys deteriorating properties at a

reasonable price and again with CMHC funding renovates the units to broader community standards.

Continuing Non- profit Housing Co - operatives are an alternative to Public Housing and expensive private owner- ship. It is one which encourages community self - reliance for control over quality and price of living space.

Membership is initially made up of both residents and non- residents of the co- op units. Homeowners and renters in the Glebe are invited to participate in the development of this community based endeavour. Residents of the Glebe Housing Co- op units ultirnately are expected to be respon- sible for the management, maintenance and education in- volved for the co- operative.

'There will be a first General Meeting on November 15, 1977 at the Glebe Community Centre, in the basement hall, 7:30- 10:00 p.m. Come and learn more about housing Co - oper- atives through films, slides, literature and most of all th - rough discussion. Its your Housing Co - operative and it be - longs in the Glebe!!!

Illiteracy: Another stab at the beast

by Rob Southcott. Grade 13 Glebe Collegiate The Ontario Ministry Education, in its continuing crusade to wipe out illiteracy, has come up

with yet another brainstorm. A recent booklet, published by the Ministry, has outlined new procedures for teaching English

in the provinces Secondary Schools; procedures who's three year implementation has already begun. The essence of the booklet is the statement that all students in Ontario, in addition to having at least four grade 12 credits in English, must have these credits in courses made up of one -third writing and two-thirds reading.

A possible exception to this guideline will be Glebe Collegiate, according to Glebe's English department head, Brian Doyle. Mr. Doyle said that Glebe would be allowed to include some of its writing courses as viable English credits wider the new guidelines.

Why Glebe ? Well, once one takes a look at Glebe's English c'epartment, it's not hard to understand. Glebe is known to have onc of the hiszhest standard of F,nglish in all of Ontario, and offers probably one of the broadest English curriculums. Glebe has approximately 1900 students enrolled in English courses, though the student population is only 1760. As Glebe offers reading courses in grades 9 to 13, and writing courses in grades 10, 12 and 13, then these figures show that a number of students are taking more than one course in English. As well, the Glebe English department offers Dramatic Arts, Filrnaking, and a Journalism class which publishes a newspaper on a bi - weekly basis.

Wi'th the new guidelines reading courses at Glebe will remain the same as those in the rest of the province, with the same necessary ratio of reading to writing. Hopefully, however, the existing writing courses will be the exact opposite : i.e. one -third reading and two-thirds writing, but they will be worth the sanie compulsary English credit. Both Mr. Doyle and assistant department head, Ian McKercher were pleased with this arrangement, as it means that the writing courses at Glebe will not be changed. The Drama, Film and Jounaalisrn courses will then become options, not counting as one of the manditory credits.

But, the question remains, are these measures really going to be effective against Ontario's apparent sins of illiteracy ? Both Mr. Doyle and Mr. McKercher seem to think they will prove beneficial for most Secondary schools, and that they shouldn't interfere with any of the present English programs at Glebe. Nevertheless, both agree that the real solution to any problems of illiteracy in Ontario is not just to change the curriculum, but to increase the amount of time that students spend in English classes .Mr. McKercher said that this would likely result in a decrease in other classes, probably those in the basic sciences. "But what good is 'snowing how to write a scientific formula if you can't communicate it in your own language ?" asks Mr. McKercher.

So why not just increase the numl,r of English classes ? Simple. Ever hear of -budgets ?

For quite awhile now, antique airplanes have been the obsession of a select, if not growing, number of people. One of these has been Broad-

way Avenue's Captain John

Williams, who stands out among antique airplane enthus- iasts because he is fortunate enough to own a classic that's in magnificent condition; a

Canadian-built Tiger Moth0

built by DeHavilland of Tor- onto in 1942.

The Tiger Moth has quite a

history. Being the first fast air- plane to be equipped with an

engine that could run reliably up to 2000 hours without being overhauled made it one of the

most economical airplanes to run back in the 30's and 40's. It was used as the trainer for almost all Commonwealth pilots during the Second World War. The planes were equip- ped at one point by the British

with bomb racks but few if

any such planes saw action in

the War. They were' also intended for anti-submarine

patrols but in this role they weren't very successful because they had no radios and thus had to return to base to report sightings. By that time, the sut, would be long gone.

Captain Williams' plane was

built in 1942 and served at the Prince Albert Flying School where Capt. Williams' father learned to fly on that same plane. It was transferred to the Windsor Flying School in

1944.

By the end of the war it only

had 150 hours flying time on

it. The government sold it

to the Royal Canadian Flying

Clubs Association, where it ended up on floats in the Port

Hope Harbour. In the 1950's

it was badly damaged by a

hurricane there. After that, it was repaired. It exchanged hands twice before Captain

Williamsboughtit in 1968.

Captain Williams' mechan- ic of the last three years has

been Elaine Summers, one

of only two female engineers in Canada.

The last Canadian air show in which Captain Williams part- icipated was on September 23.

He led a squadron of five Tiger Moths, and a Fleet Finch.

The plane is kept at the Russell Airport and looked

after by Golden Triangle Air

Services. It frequently visits

tl

A civilian pilot at 17, Williams 0 arc' aeI Or

0 tail his -le has

about 400 hours on his own

plane and almost 600 hours on

another Tiger Moth. He graduated from the Air

Force Flight School in 1967

"Jeff Morgan" Blue notes Music teacher at Glashan

Jon Playfair rehearses for Jeff Morgan

by Andrew deBurgh White Jeff Morgan has been with Glashan Interrnediate School for two years or more now. He had

previously taught at Laurentian High School. Having obtained his B. Mus. and B. Ed. from Ottawa U. and McArthur (Queen's) respectively, he was looking for a suitable foil for his parti- cular talents and interests when he was encouraged by Bob Goodfellow, principal of Glashan, to join the school's music department.

Jeff now teaches instrumental music to approximately 320 pupils drawn from grades 6, 7, and b The music courses will prepare the student for further study on entering high school. For many, music will remain a pleasant hobby, but for the more proficient it may be the first step into a career in music. They are all taught how to care for their instruments and how to read music, but most of all, Jeff tries to show his students the challenge and rewards that music can bring.

He does this too,in his musical appreciation periods which he also teaches to students drawn from all grades at Glashan. In these classes, he encourages his pupils to get involved with mu- sic whether it be 20th century or baroque.

Jeff also teaches groups of young musicians in evening courses two nights a week: The National Capital Symphonic band, a group of junior musicians who have had a year or

two of training with their instruments, and the woodwind ensemble, a group of more mature and advanced musicians.

Morgan's biggest success as music teacher at Glashan has been the band he has formed from 55 of the more proficient musicians in his grade 8 class. Those students play the whole range of woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. This band plays two or three public concerts per year and has received considerable local acclaim !

The band gives the, young musicians their first feeling of playing music as an entity, as well as the discipline of playing with others. It gives them the confidence to improve their abilities further: Jeff often encourages the more able to take additional private lessons from members of the NAC Orchestra, and to purchase their own instruments.

Jeff is pleased with the situation at Glashan. The warm relationship and camaraderie between students and teachers combined with fine discipline and proficiency makes an ideal learning situation, and indeed the band by its efforts continues to give testimony to the talents of this

fine music teacher.

"Symphony in Blue for Pop Bottle and Kazoo" may well have to be the only music at some future Glashan band concert if we dont support City principals' recommendations to budget for instrumental music at the intermediate level.

The Elementary and Intermediate Principals' Association met two weeks ago to address this problem. They agreed to request that an annual allowance of at least $4 per instrumental student be budgeted under the Programme Development portion of the Capital Funds Budget to begin January, 1978, or to expect the programme to fold.

That's not very much money, considering that an annual allotment of $5.65 per home economics student and $8. 22 for each industrial arts student (that's metal arts and woodwork) is already allowed at junior highs. Why? Because these program- mes require special equipment with lirnited lifetimes and main- tenance requirements.

Instruments are delicate machines which require regular ad- justment and maintenance with careful use under normal condi- tions with four students sharing most instruments at Glashan, the present stock of equipment is certainly well -used: On the cost side, the $1220 which would become available with this year's 320 students taking instruction (that's more than half the school!) would cover the cost of instrument repair and mainte - nance ONLY,.., not replacement, not music (much of which Jeff Morgan funds himself), not expansion.

How has the programme survived so far with no specific funding beyond the original grant made to begin instrumental instruction 5 years ago? Mainly, Mr. Goodfellow and his staff are to be applauded for somehow keeping music at Glashan by squeezing funds wherever they can be wrung from the annual allotment of $24. 26 per student - - which covers ju about everything from textbooks to staples. As well, the students of Glashan cared enough to earn $3,000 in the past three years by selling candy bars to purchase instruments.

Other principals aren't sure they can continue to juggle budgets on this hit and miss basis to ensure the continuance of a program -

me which now offers to students where the programme exists (at no student cost!) the chance to develop proficiency on a

musical instrument and to play in ensemble. About a dozen years of age finds a youngster's attitude, physical development, and learning capacity at a prime for such instruction.

We simply can't realistically continue to ask Mr. Goodfellow to choose a clarinet mouthpiece or trombone slide over doorknobs and mimeograph paper. Nor should we trust the continuance of

instrument instruction to good luck or chance. The Principals' Association is reasonable.

A call to your favourite OBE Trustee or a letter to the Board o Dr. Hal Willis would help ensure instrumental music proper

placement in Programme Development. We hope the school has been saved. Now let's work to preserve

the quality of its programmes!

Citizen reporting causes concern

The Editor: I read with some amazement an article by Don Lajoie in the

Citizen October 22 on the progress of the neighbourhood planning process in Canital Ward.

The Glebe Community Association wholeheartedly endorses the efforts of the anirnators to encourage participation by all residents and groups in the ward, and in fact brought up the ne- cessity, as well as the difficulty, of doing so in all preliminary meetings with the planning staff.

It is therefore rather puzzling to read that"the Capital Ward planning sessions are in danger of becoming a middle-class forum for middle- class values"- rather as if such input from residents is sornehow suspect or sinister!

Could it be that the Citizen's reporter arrived on the scene with his bundle of prejudices and stereotypes, rather than an enquiring mind?

However, my main concern is with the aLleged fear that the residents will "railroad through a plan infringing on the rights of the businessmen".

The reporter obviously did not attend any of the preliminary area meetings, in which residents were asked to list three or four things they liked about living in the Glebe, as well as three or four they disliked. High on every group's list of likes was the "excellent, varied and convenient shopping in the community". Scarcely anyone failed to mention this as one of the most at- tractive features.

Under the circurnstances, it hardly seems likely that there is some conspiracy of residents to

do harm to the merchants in the area, or that there is, in fact, any serious conflict of interests.

The residents want a healthy shopping area on their main street, and the merchants surely

want a healthy, secure community as their basic market. I realize that reality can sometimes make dull reading, but hope, albeit somewhat wistfully,

that reports on our very interesting excercises in local democracy will in the future bear a

closer resemblance to real life. Joyce McCaffrey, President, Glebe Community Association.

Peppermint The mint family of herbs is a large one. There are more than 20different kinds of mint and

hundreds of related species. Apple mint, Indian mint, Corsican mint (which is used for making creme de menthe liqueur), horse mint spearmint are just a few. All of them possess the same properties and have been used since ancient times.

It is the peppermint (Mentha piperita) that is valued for its aromatic flavor, and used in pharmaceutics and cosmetics. It relieves pain, cramps and is a great helper in settling the stomach after an attack of vomiting. The tea has an antispasmodic effect, stimulates produc - tion of bile and is altogether helpful with gall bladder trouble.

Peppermint oil is a useful item tokeep in the medicine cabinet; it soothes headache and when applied to a bothersome tooth will act as a mild anaesthetic .Fresh mint leaves or oil rubbed externally on places affected by gout or rheumatism will help to relieve the pain.

The Greeks and Hebrews made a perfurne from mint. Roman women would chew a paste made of mint and honey to sweeten their breath and men used to put it in their wine to give it aroma. Mint is still strewn on the floor, placed in beds and even in sacks of grain or near cheese because its odourskeeps mice away. Oil extracted from the peppermint leaves has long been used as a flavouring in toothpaste and washes, chewing gum and candy. Peppermint may be used as an infusion for bathing the face which gives it a fresh and healthy complexion.

Peppermint leaves (fresh or dried) are used mainly for making tea. Pour one cup of boiling water over one heaping tablespoon on peppermint leaves, infuse 10 minutes. Add honey and lemon if you like and drink for pure enjoyment, or for relief from colds, headaches, indigestion and nervousness . Its aromatic flavor and healthful qualities (rich in Vitamin A and C), make it an excellent drink for young and old and in between.

Wanted: A spacious old home, centrally located

Mamie Johnstone

A group of Ottawa women are changing the image of the private club as a préserve for Victorian gentlemen wreathed in smoke, to a home away from home for progressive women.

"Today's clubwoman could be a professional working down - town or perhaps a homemaker returning to law school," says club representative Cynthia Bled. Aged between 25 and 55,

club members would be interested both in personal develop- ment and in the community. Most of all, they crave a place of their own free from the pressures of work or home. To be able to relax in peace, to make plans, write and think her own thoughts is the goal of each member. She should be able to invite friends for a quiet drink or dinner alter work or to enjoy a sauna after a session of exercise."

To satisfy these needs thirty -one founding members are looking for a house large enough to contain a tea room, dining room, bar and lounge, reading, music and writing rooms, sauna, games and exercise rooms and a large meeting room. The address of the house, if suitable, would become the name of the club as the club's model, 21 McGill , in Toronto was

inamed., "We want the club to have a relaxed atmosphere where members can meet and make friends, generate ideas, and find positive support;' says Cynthia Bled, Algonquin Economics teacher and club representative. "Although there are other clubs in Ottawa, the only facilities that offer full participation to women are sports-oriented ones.

The ncw club is open to all women willing to sLc scribe -

there are no educational, professional or other qualifications.

Mer participate as guests of women. There is an initiation fee of $240 and a general member:hip fee of $150 .nnu,lly. This contrasts favourably with initiation fees of almost $1,000

at 21 McGill. Visiting members of each club would have

reciprocal privileges. The club hopes to reach a membership of 250 within three years.

Once a house is found and converted, many activities are

planned. As well as recreational programs and sports, arts and

crafts, the club would offer professional development courses,

language training and travel opportunities such as a scheduled tour of China next summer. In addition, the club is planning poetry readings, art exhibitions and special speakers.

The club facilities will be available for rent by other Ottawa

organizations with priority given to wornen's groups, Cynthia

Bled says. In the meantime, members are participating in

monthly events such as a December wine -tasting party in

cooperation with the Italian Embassy. Anyone interested in

joining the club or finding out more about it is invited to attend a meeting Thursday, November 24, 1977 at 8 pm, Colonel By Pavilion , Room 707 (The Penthouse), University of Ottawa. Jean Pigott, M. P. will speak. For further information you may contact Kathryn Mowat at 828 -6433 or Cynthia Bled at 749 -9616

ROOMING HOUSES IN THE CITY OF OTTAWA REPORT OF THE ROOMING HOUSE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROCESS CITY OF OTTAWA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

The Rooming House Advisory Committee sponsored by the City of Ottawa has completed a report on Rooming Houses in the City. The report is cur- rently being made available to all interested parties as part of a public par- ticipation process prior to consideration of its recommendations by the Community Development Committee, the Ottawa Planning Board and City Council.

The Report covers a variety of aspects of Rooming Houses, including the need for rooming accommodation, municipal definitions of rooming houses, zoning aspects, parking standards, property standards, and the problem of costs of maintenance and renovation. The main thrusts of the twenty-two re- commendations of the report may be summarized as follows:

Recognize the need and value of rooming accommodation as a small seCtor of the housing market.

Revise existing municipal definitions of a rooming house for the purpose of municipal zoning and property standards by-laws.

Increase the number of roomers allowed in private houses in residential zones throughout the City, expand the number of zones under which rooming houses would be allowed.

Decrease the existing parking requirements for Rooming Houses and specify parking standards for roomers occupying private houses.

(NI) Specify new minimum property standards for rooming houses.

Open up funding channels for rehabilitation of rooming houses and for supplementing rentals for some categories of roomers.

Review existing conversion policies, zniid approved neighbourhood plans with respect to their implication for rooming houses.

(viii)Evaluate acquisition of some rooming houses by the City of Ottawa Non Profit Housing Corporation.

(ix) Evaluate the establishment of Housing Information Centre for the City of Ottawa.

The Report is available from public libraries in the City. Copies of the sum- mary of the Report and any irv»iries concerning the report can be directed to Gwynfor Symmons or Nancy Walker, at 563-3181.

"A short distance from the Arctic Circle lies a still remote community where people tab< to plants with amazing results; on previously barren soil, veg - etable and flower gardens proliferate, animated by angelic forms." The above quote is taken from Peter Hawkins book THE MAGIC OF FINDHORN - the story of

Findhom is remarkable. It is

said that it is "where people are reborn, and faith, love and energy triumph." Why not register and find out more? P.S. All food for this seminar will be provided by Use Kyssa of 'The Pantry' fame

Immunization Action Month Page 8

Has your child beenvaccinated? Although last month was officially declared as Immunization

Action month, the Canadian Institute of Child Health feels that the subject is sufficiently serious to warrant another look.

Are infectious diseases a problem in Canada? It is

astonishing that, despite the _availability of effective vaccine, infectious diseases are still among the four leading causes of

hospitalization of children- with accidents, respiratory pro- blems and congenital anomalies being the other three. Many of these infectious diseases could be prevented by immuni- zation.

Do children ever die from preventable diseases? Some children still die each year from these diseases and others develop serions complications such as encephalitis, pneumonia and hearing loss. One study shows that about 1 in 10 children who have measles get complications. In Canada in 1975,

9 children died from whooping cough, 2 from diphtheria, 7 from measles and 2 from rubella (German measles). Also, more than 100 babies are bora each year with serious defects because their mothers had rubella during the first three months of pregnancy.

Who is responsible for seeing that my child is irnmunized? Immunization is not compulsoiy. It is the parents' responsi- bility to make sure that their children are immunized. Your child may be immunized in public health depaitutents, com- munity clinics, hospital clinics and schools or this may be carried out by family physicians or paediatricians.

Parents should keep a written record of the vaccine that the child received and the date of the injection. You will need this information if the child is taken to emergency for treatment of wounds. The doctor will need to know if the child's tetanus immunization is adequate. It is information that is required when your child begins school and if immun- ization is part of the school healch program, you will need to know what has already been given and when. It is also needed if you move to another locality or travel abroad.

When should my child be immunized and for what disease? Immunization should he started by two or three months of age and should follow a schedule as recommended by your public health clinic or your doctor. Most families will have received a recommended schedule with their October family allowance cheques.

What is a "booster"? This is an injection that is given following the primary immunization to reinforce the child's immunity.

Is immunization available for all infectious diseases? No, but research is in progress to provide protection against dis-

e as es such as chicken pox, gonorrhea, infectious mononucleosis.

Is there a way to protect my child against diseases for which there is no vaccine? In some instances, temporary protection may be given or the disease modified. Check with your paediatrician or local health authority.

What is the risk of damage to the baby if the mother de- velops rubella during the first three months of the pregnancy?

Overall, approximately 50%. The earlier the maternal infection occurs during pregnancy, the more severe the fetal damage. The most common problems are heart defects, deafness, blindness and mental retardation. A pregnant wo- man should not receive rubella vaccine.

If my teenage daughter has never been immunized for rubella and I am uncertain if she ever had the disease, what should she do? Is it too late for her to be immunized? No, it's never too late to immunize against rubella. A

simple blood test can be done to determine whether vao- cination is necessary.

If my child has had polio vaccine by needle and we move to a place where polio vaccine is given by mouth, is it necessary and safe for the child to be revaccinated? Regardless of whether the first immunization was by needle or by mouth, if further doses are needed it is perfectly safe to follow the practice of where you are living. U. What should I do if I suspect my child has an infectious disease? Keep him at home and contact your physician for further advice.

Eleanor Milne,

sculptor and designer Eleanor Milne is a sculptor working for the Government. In her home on Powell Avenue

she told me about the vvork she has done during the past 15 years, most of it in the Parliament Buildings. I followed up the information with a visit to 'The Hill' to see the stained glass windows and ceiling in the Chamber of the House of Commons, and the frieze in the lobby which Eleanor designed and worked on. As the autumn sunlight poured through the brilliant glowing colours, I found the windows breathtaktngly beautiful. They are 27 feet tall,made from thousands of pieces of glass, representing the Canadian Provinces in floral emblems. The richness of design and execution create a rare and exquisite visual experience. Miss Milne also supervised the restoration and modernising of the Charnber ceiling. Originally painted during the First World War, diamond shaped patterns incorporate the arms of the different provinces in muted colours, contrasting with the almost overpowering impact of the cathedral-like windows.

Close by in the Lobby is a 120x4' limestone frieze relief carving. Done in neo-Gothic style in keeping with the character of the building, it is a philosophical allegory of Canadian history, representing ideas and results of actions. Here you see the original inhabitants of this land. scenes from life in peaoe and war, with trade, fishing, farrning, lumber, mining and a host of detailed sculpture. This major work was started in 1964 and took five years to complete.

This summer Eleanor was responsible for refinishing the original desks in the House of Commons, (about 200 of them) and designing the speaker's console for the recently in- stalled T.V. All of this had to be done in time for the Queen's visit and opening of Parliament on October 18t h.

Now she is working on a series of limestone carvings representing the salient points of the British North American Act. I went with her to the warehouse studio on Somerset Stree, to see this work in progress, and met three of her assistant carvers. The sculptures are aboat six feet tall depicting the powers of the provinces.

They will be installed in the House of Commons next year. I also saw the 10 foot table being made for the clerks of the Legislature in the Yukon, and the speaker's chair for the North West Teritories which she designed.

Unlike her work for Parliament, Eleanor made two abstract sculptures for a Public Works office building at Tunney's Pasture in 1970. These are 20 feet by 14 feet each in copper which was beaten to create a three dimens.onal effect of light and shade, following the nature of the material. She also repaired and designed bases for two bronze statues by Allward representing Justice and Truth outside the Supreme Court of Canada on Wellington Street. These were originally intended as a memorial for King Edward 7th and had become badly damaged over the years. In 1967 Eleanor Milne was awarded the Centennial Medal for Special Services. Born in Saint- John, New Brunswick she studied wood engraving at the Museum School of Fine Art,

anatomy at McGill, and sculpture at L'Ecole Des Beaux Arts in Montreal and Syracuse Uni- versity She learned the techniques for stained glass windows in London, England t the County Council College of Arts and Crafts. She has designed and built sculpture in wood, bronze and stone and her work is in England and the United States as well as Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa.

Jazz, tap and batons by Arlene Harrison

Anne Holtz Taman is a champion of champions. Not only has

she herself been a Canadian baton twirling champion but her

students have also been to the top in the Canadian championships.

Anne is a jazz, tap, and baton twirling teacher and choreo- grapher who, just four short weeks ago, moved her studio into

the Glebe. It couldn't be a more centrally located studio, situated as it is over the Honda motorcycle store at Fifth and Bank and what 's more, it is a huge bright studio, very condu - cive to movement.

As for Anne, she has a pleasant easygoing marner which gives you a good feeling when you enter the studio. Her students are both relaxed and keen with her, able to "play" with her one moment and work very hard for her the next.

About 200 students study with Anne and her 2 assistants, Josee Chiappa and Ann Robertson, the most popular classes being the jazz classes followed closely by tap and baton. The minimum age for jazz is 8 years while the minimum for tap and baton is 4. There is really no maximum age. (Mothers, if you want a non - Slim 'n trim way to keep fit, then try the jazz

classes at this studio.) Although there is a remote chance that Anne will start up a

couple of new classes in January, her year normally begins, like school, in September, and winds up in early June with a recital at one of the local high schools.

John Conway: He left them laughing

by Ediaond Hum "There's an old rule in show business," John Conway ,ays. "When you leave the stage, you

leave the audience clapping away and wanting more -- and then you don't go back! Besides, I Iniew it was time to retire when mothers who had seen the show in their childhood started bring- ing their kids to see Chich in the publicity tours."

Chich. That's how John Conway affectionately refers to his main puppet, Uncle Chichimus, who, along with Hollyhock, Slimey the frog and others, endeared themselves to the Canadian public through television, from the early moments of TV at the CBC in Toronto, to the (far, at CJOH- TV here in Ottawa.

Conway worked with people like Norman Campbell and Norman Jewison, both of whom started their careers as directors of the Uncle Chichimus show, and enjoyed celebrity status dus'- big the height of the'show's popularity. He established an innovation in puppetry by brealing out of the puppet stage and having his puppets appear on ladder steps, fences and the like. AU the programmes were improvised around a certain theme, and in the early days done live.

But Conway decided it was time to go in 1966, and left TV and puppetry to teach English, first at Champlain for three years and then at Glebe Collegiate.

Conway was born in Toronto, and was partly raised near Peterborough, where as a boy he developed puppetry as a hobby. At 15 he left home and never went back. He turned to travelling on the road and to various jobs for money. As a consequence, he didn't go to high school very much, but managed to enter the University of-Toronto for his B.A. in English. In his second year of university he left to become a navigator for the Air Force. He later returned and finished his studies, and became a University teacher of English at UBC.

In 1946 he attended an amateur dramatic arts company run by Dora Mayor Moore which was also the training ground for Don Harron and Mayor Moore, Dora's son. It was this little pool of talent that soon became very involved in the CBC.

Since nobody had had any experience with television, everybody was a potential candidate for work, and Dora Mayor Moore's proteges were immediately approached.

Mayor Moore became TV programme director, and John Conway, because of his heavy in- volvement with puppets, was asked by the CBC to do a show.

He chose a puppet that he had used before as an old king for a puppet production of"St. George and the Dragon", and renamed hirn Uncle Chichimus, "imus" coming from the Latin for 'good, better, best'.

"I made Chich as a part- old man, part-baby sort of character with exotic pretensions," says Conway.

Hollyhock was to be the female foil to Chich, and Pompey the naive juvenile character. "They were all stock characters, and their Jobs and ages changed depending on what wa: needed in a certain skit.

Conway rehearsed for six months before the cameramen, doing dry nins so that the technicians would get some practice with the new marvel of television. On SeptemLer 8th, at 7:15 pm in 1952, a 15 minute programme called "Let's See", serving as a preview for the night's entertainment, hit the airwaves in Toronto on CBLT. Percy Saltzman became the first person to be seen on Canadian television, doing the wea - ther mid- programme, and cavorting with Uncle Chichimus and the gang. The programme was an instant hit

Sinclair changed mind At first Gordon Sinclair panned the show as beii ",:utesy",

(in his column in the Toronto Star). He wondered in print what other bright ideas the CBC had in mind for its television programming. But eventually Sinclair changed his mind and became one of the most devoted fans of the Uncle Chichimus Show, which appeared week daysat 6:30. Sinclair was not alone in his devotion. Uncle Chichirnus became the 3rd highest rated programme in the country, beaten only by Sat- urday night hockey, and "The Big Revue", a Canadian variety show.

Dozens of magazine and newspaper articles covered the success of John Conway and his puppets. And when Percy Saltzman moved to a new show ("Tabloid") he was replaced by Larry D.

Mann, who was an accomplished Canadian actor. As the top-heavy bureaucracy grew in the CBC, its handling

of its stars became notorious. "The CBC bureaucracy has al- ways wanted its stars under its thumb", says Conway while put- ting his thurnb on the table, squishing some imaginary bug. "It wants them all under its control. And every so often you'll get these waves of dissatisfaction against the CBC; people leav- ing for the States or going to the private stations."

Although Conway had offers to go to the states, he decided not to as he felt the characters of his puppets had roots in small town Ontario. Hollyhock was really a down -to-earth Ontario girl, Chich a quixotic old- timer. So he offered his talents Ernie Bushnell (vice -president of the CBC at that time) and Stu Griffiths (head of CBC English programming), who were one of many applicants for the lucrative Toronto private station. And although John Bassett (of Toronto Telegram fame) received the licence, Bushnell and Griffiths did get the licence for Ottawa, where CJOH -TV was established.

Conway didn't mind moving to Ottawa. It had always been a good town for puppets; in

pre -TV days Conway used to appear at Ogilvy's with his puppet show. But this time Conway was to specifically do a children's programme (the show was to air weekdays at four), and work around cartoons and commercials. He introduced Slimey, the frog, For the first time women were used to talk to the puppets, like Syd Patrick and Jean Price. 'And the show was a big hit.

After 16 years of professional puppetry Conway felt trapped by his own success. Since every- one stereotyped him as a puppetrnaster, Conway could not do other things in show business that he wanted to do, lilce producing a television production of a ballet. He developed psychoso - matic backaches during shows, and was admittedly getting tired of puppetry. So on Oct. 1,

1966, John Conway did his final show and said goodbye to television and to puppetry. fe

Doctor John'' Conway definitely wanted a change of careers, and having been a teacher years before, and

having the qualifications, he went to work as an English teacher at Glebe Collegiate. In the English department he is affectionately lmown as "Doctor John", a nickname coined by fellow English teacher Bruce MacGregor. Conway says he likes Glebe, and approves of the unique English programme found there.

"I won't touch it anyrnore", says Conway of his puppetry, "It ended as a hobby years ago". When asked why he and Uncle Chichimus have not been caught up in the nostalgia craze, Con- way expresses piuzlement. "I guess the kids who watched the show belong to a generation thaes been forgotten. "

And where are Chich and his comrades right now? They sit placidly in a dusty window case in Conway's Broadway Street home. Relaxing now after years on the road and in television studios, they look larger than life, beaming witir past glories.

Percy Salftzman hams it up in a skit on the Un, le Chichimus show.

programs... Many thaiaks to Mary Kovacs for an excellent job of co-ordinating a very successful Flea-

market. Financially the net proceeds from that event totalled $460, which will be applied to

progra_mming and equipment needs. The Fall Courses program (thanks to Allison Dingle and Brian McFall) and the Children's

Saturday Workshops program (thanlz to Sheila Johnston and Pat Mercer) are now underway. We

are disappointed that several of the new course offerings in the Fall slate had to be can-

celled because of low enrolment, namely Law for the Layperson, Tax and Estate Planning, and

Intermediate Conversational French. Instructors in all cases are highly qualified and experienCe

professionals. We feel that there may have been some reluctance to enrol in such classes at a Community

Centre, rather than an educational institution. Also, that we perhaps could have provided rno

detail on these new courses. Our desire is to bring such quality courses to the cornmunity, aci

we are prepared to offer these courses again in January, together with a class in astral nav,g.

tion (of special interest to sailors and would-be explorers) if there is sufficient interest. Please

let us know whether you wish to take these courses, and what your interests are for possible other

courses and activities. (Call the Community Centre at 563- 3116 or me at 233- 4108)

Planned upcoming events at the Centre include Lakeside Players' production of Hansel and

Gretel this Sunday afternoon November 6 (remember the great fun at last Spring's production of

And.rocles and the Lion), Adult Fitness Classes commencing November 7, the Craft Fair Novem-

ber 12 and 13, and the Potters' Guild November 24 to 26. Also, mark Sunday afternoon F2.0 cern

ber 18 on your calendars for a family afternoon of carolling, tree decorating and fun at the an-

nual Christmas Party at the Centre.

...and renovations Since the September report, Mr. Beric Graham-Smith (a Glebe resident) of Elwood and Hen-

derson Architects has been hired by the City to act as a consultant for the renovations plan. Initial work is presently undersay to incorporate the community's priority renovation needs into

the initial plan. All plans and proposals will be reviewed by the G.N.A.G. executive prior to implementation. Actual renovations are presently slated for next Spring. Communicate your

droughts and wishes to Betty Maione ('38-1589) who is co-ordinating this major effort on behalf of our community.

Special thanks to our Alderman, Joe Cassey, for his ongoing support.

Every year each man, woman and child in Canada consumes the equivalent in energy of 49 barrels of oil-- at least half of which is wasted. Much of this waste could be prevented if our communities were planned with their energy requirements in mind; the "endless" supplies of fossil fuels are running dry and we must re - examine our "energy carefree" lifestyle.

A special exhibit entitled "Habitat and Energy" will be held on the third floor of the National Museum of Natural Sciences from October 7, 1977 to January 29, 1978. The exhibit is pres - ented by the 1,,luseum and the Ministry of State for Urban Affairs.

A look at Nature can provide us with energy use patterns to follow in the future, for nothing goes to waste in the Natural System; plants capture energy from the sun and transmit energy to all other life forms tluough the endless cycle of the "food chain". As animals and plants die their bodies decompose and either provide the building materials that are recy cled into the system, or become fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas -- the accumulated results of millions of years of life and death that we are so quickly depleting.

We are at a very critical point in our history, a tirne to choose to follow our wasteful use of energy as in the past, or choose a more "energy wise: path. Come to the National Mus - eum of Natural Sciences before you make that choice! See "Habitat and Energy" -- and understand ottr responsibility to future generations.

The National Museum of Natural Sciences is open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm daily, except Mondays, and is situated at the corner of Metcalf and McLeod Streets.

Meat at Simpson's by Alfred Holden

It has been said that there's always a market for something better, and Art Simpson, for many years a businessman in Ottawa South, has taken this statement to heart and opened his new meat store at 655 Bronson Avenue.

Spic and span, well staffed with experienced people and well stocked with meat, fish, and poultry, Art feels that he has indeed provided customers with something better than the standapa_and impersonal chain store fare.

Besides the more personal, customer-oriented service he has introduced, Art has brought to the area an interesting innova - tion by providing a telephone ordering service. In fact, Art has been surprised by the large numbers of orders that now come in by telephone -- more than he expected. He stresses, how - ever, that all orders, big or small, by phone or walk-in, get the same priority. ',Whether you want just a few slices of cooked ham . . . or fifty pounds of steak, we do our best-- which means fast service and only the highest quality meats".

Art Simpson has been in the meat business for thirty years, and most of his staff of six bring with them several years of experience. A fan of the Glebe, he feels there is a large local market but nonetheless has many regular clients from all over the city.

The store has been open since October 1i. Their hours are Tuesday to Friday 9 to 6, S2turdays 9 to 4. They're closed on Mondays. TwO lines are available for telephone enquiries: 238-2533 and 238- 2534. So, if you're tired of supermarket lines and assembly -line service, Art Simpson is ready with a new version of old fashioned service where the owner is in the store and the staff experienced in their business. To anyone making their first purchase at Simpson's, the change is notice- able and welcome.

Publicity seeker. . . . or populist?

A MONTHLY LOOK AT EDUCATION AND EDUCATORS by GERRY TRUDEL

Roy Bushfield, a Federal Goverlament employee and father of two, entered politics over a

school text book. Dissatisfied with the re- action of teachers and administrators when he complained about the condition of a book his young son brought home from school, Trustee Bushfield decided to enter politics. His first attempt was unsuccessful, but as he says "he learnt the political game fast" and his second election bid carried him onto the then Ottawa Public School Board as a Trustee.

His record on The Ottawa Board of education is both progressive and conservative. Trustee Bushfield counts amongst his achievements "progress that has been made with the education of children with learning disabilities and "students' rights". He considers "failure to control Tending and the militancy of teachers" as areas where the "Board has lost control". Bushfield is certainly credited by ma_ny with having been the driving force behind a progressive move to introduce special education classes into secondary schools; others who are perhaps more con - servative in approach feel that "if it hadn't been for Bushfield and his outspolcen opinions, par- ents would be cornpletely over -powered by strongly unionised teachers".

Roy Bushfield's fellow Trustees re -act in an interesting way to questions about his role and effectiveness as a member of The Ottawa Board of Education. One colleague replied "that b*****d" and hung up the telephone when asked to give an opinion. Others who are more closely identified as being, in a general sense, on the same side of most issues as Bushfield commented that "Roy's only problem is that he gets carried away in debates. He has more common sense than anyone on the Board but as soon as he has made a good point he ruins it by going on the attack".

As far as Glebe residents are concerned Trustee Bushfield's opinions with regard to the future of Glashan are interesting. Bushfield has stated publicly on many occasions that Glashan should go. He feels that the "site is 'inadequate" and that students should be returned to "their local community schools" to "solve not only the problems with Glashan but also declining enrolment difficulties". At the moment Glashan's future seems assured but the declining enrolment ques- tion, at least for the forseeable future remains and Glebe residents may want to take the oppor - tunity to talk to Bushfield and express their views. At the moment Trustee Bushfield does not Chair any of the Board's committees but he is a member of all standing committees (Finance, Education, Property & Personnel) along with the other Trustees. He 3ndicat that he is "more than happy to hear from the public" and can be reached at: 997-4774 (offit ,) or 733-9657 (home).

Ils theme is the modern drive for sex as a substitute for love. Coming into this theme is the need for sex as a means of keeping in touch with humanity the more desperate the need, the more perverse and desperate the sex. Alienation, loneliness and solitude seem (primarily in this film) to be channelled into sex also. It's not an indictment (or if so, then a light indictment) but rather a statement about the ravages of the Seventies' plastic love (love ain't nothing but sex misspelled) and warped sex.

This complex theme is explored through the character of Theresa Dunn. Keaton manages the role quite well, but never fully transforrns the character to a double- personality of nice primary,. school teacher by day/freewheeling sexpot by night. This is fine: the Jekyll- and-Hyde role been worked to death. However, by fault of Keaton or Richard Brooks (director and screen-writer) Miss Dunn, no matter how 'sexful' she becomes (prostitution in the end), never loses an under- lying innocence. She never actually seems to descend inot the peal confusion and turmoil of the basically good person caught in the trap of the singles-bar, cocaine , disco and assorted modern inventions.

theme not carefully explored This is the movie's unfortimate drawback-- it has an important theme, but one which was

not carefuLly explored. As if aware of this,Brooks develops a few very obscure scenes, leading the audience into surreality, then suddenly snapping back into reality. Some were effective (like the last scene, done completely to the rhythrnic beat of strobe), some laughably eccentric, such

as a 'momentary' whim by Dunn to kill herself after her fanaticaL love for a professor is thrown

back in her face. In this she stands on a street corner, immediately snaps into a fantasy about love and sex , and then is back on the corner.

Also, despite the many flashing neon colours, despite the stylish disco dancers in smolcy late- night disco dens, despite the cocaine dealer named Jesus and the various loners, losers and

desperate users of sex Miss Dunn encounters---even this naive reviewer- at-large didn't get a real punch- in-the-gut feel for the seamy(or steamy)side of singles- 'cruising.

who's in love, who's a pervert Another (deliberate)obscurity was in guessing who was in love and who was just a pervert. Miss

Dunn was early thrown into doubt about love altogether, having several tirnes been spurned. She is obviously full of love ,by nature, but there remains her fascination with one-night stands: temporary sex complete with insincere wails of 'I love you' in the heat of passion.

Two men, both considered by her as only one night stands (relations have taken an odd twist in her life), apparently love her but are unable to express it. Early on, she made her love (or perhaps her love for the idea of love) obvious, but it was rejected outright.

The real emotional turmoil this modern void between adamant definitions of love, sex, friendship, man, woman, etcerera, is not played up. The only look we get at the mental darkness

Miss Dunn was supposedly suffering was the drawing by her of a windswept, torrnented woman.

"Thats me when I haven't had my fix, "she explains.

smoothly directed A more technical fault-- one of the few, because technically the film was smoothly directed--

is the half- development of characters. Several characters are left unfinished, notably Amy, the young deaf-mute whom Miss Dunn 'loves' very much. By the final destruction of Dunn, all the characters given an initial development are left unfinished.

Again, it is technically a well- directed and well- written film, meaning that it is always

interesting, the acting is good, the disco music fitting, the sex scenes are artistic, and the

climax is brilliantly edited.

"Valentino", directed by flamboyant Ken Russell, is itself far from flamboyant. In fact, the film illustrates that without the eight-foot phalluses, giant pinball machines, and oversize platform shoes, little extraordinary distinguishes a Russell movie

The film (written by Russell and Mardik Martin) opens vvith

Valentino's death and subsequent mobbing of his coffin. Varioirs characters, notably his first wife, his second wffe, and her old female lover, and Valentino's agent (who seemingly cared for hirn the mos-t) parade into the mortuary and relate their involvement with the great silent-screen lover.

dull script Considering the brilliance of Martin's "Taxi-Driver script,

'Valentino" is overly dull, lacking a really original story-line and any clever dialogue. The plot unfolds well,however, with frequent reminders of Valentino's death by the jumps forward into thPpresent'-- the reminiscing acquaintances by the coffin. Disturbing, I found, were the infrequent shots of Valentino himself, in the coffin, astrange wry smile on his ovep- red and widely coveted lips.

I am not too knowledgable about the Rudolph Valentino story but much of his life seemed to be cut down or removed-- on a

whim of Russell, perhaps for the sake of film length. Whatever the cause, the viewer does not leave with the feeling of 'knowing' Valentinothe film leans towards the obvious or sensational events of his life.

This is unfortunate, for though there is no dearth of material about the insane 20's and the begirming of the Hollywood star, complex (which will and has destroyed hundreds of people), Valentino seems to be one of the first 'simple' men caught in the madness. And driven to his death by it.

Nureyev commendable Big surprise is Rudolph Nureyev's commendable acting. Not

only has he no Russian accent, but he has a good Italian accent! He doesn't shift much from an expression of Sicilian bravado, but he does act the part convincingly. As mentioned, the character of Valentino was not examined too closelycertainly not a part Which would require Max von Sydow or Al Pacino. But he does develop the confusion which evidently grew in the character from his rise to stardom to the disastrous boxing-match for his honour and subsequent death.

Other acting, by Michelle Phillips (his second wife), Carol Kane (the wornan who introduces hm to film), is smooth and professionaL Again, the characters are pretty flat, not requiring great acting talent.

direction adept Russell's direction is adept and professional. He makes clever

little films. He keeps interest by constructing visual "loud noises" to keep audience attention. Examples: initial mobbing of mort- uary; Valentino's first encounter with a film- actress in an extravagant casino scene, featuring zany Mr. Fattm: an extensive segment showing Valentino in jail, surrounded by perverts; a crowd of female fans chanting an adoring poem to him while he makes fevered love to his wife.

There isn't a whole lot of integrity in Russell's method of wa,ding off tedium.

BO porno Perhaps the film was re- cut before its Ottawa showing, but I

found very little pornography in it and no obscenityfor those concerned with rumours of Nureyev's,uh, overexposure.

One note about "Valentino" is that it does quite effectively capture the insane, media-crazed spirit of the twenties. The twenties the rich knew. AndValentino's short life, regardless of how it is portrayed-- is the epitome and anticipation of a series of such tragedies: Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keaton, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe

Brewer Hockey begins new season by Ted Britton

The Brewer Hockey Association has opened its 1977-78 season. This year Brewer has en- tered teams in the Peewee and Minor Bantam divisions of the National Capital Minor Hockey Association. Once again the Brewer Club has a representative in the South Ottawa Midget League.

The House League programs begins this week in all divisions. Tykes (6-8 yrs) will practice on Sunday mornings, Atoms (9-10 yrs) Thursday evnings, Peewee (11-12 yrs) is held on Tuesday evenings and the Bantam (13-14 yrs) division plays on Thursday evenings.

The House League programs are in urgent need of adult volunteers. There is a good pos- sibility that unless more volunteers come forward a portion of the House League program may have to be cancelled. The League executive wants only that a volunteer give up one hotir a week to aid youngsters in our community.

If you can find one evening a week free, please contact Don Campbell at 233-3156. Also if you still wish to register for the Hott,e League you can do so any Tuesday or Thursday from 6;00 to 8:00 p. m.

by Susan Pye (Community Animator for the Study)

Since the initiation of the Glebe Neighbourhood Study on September 15, 1977, a lot of people have met together to discuss their concerns for the Glebe. There was a fairly good turnout in most sub areas and the 94 people who did attend were able to produce a base on

which to build our neighbourhood plan goal and objectives. Three of the major recurring themes were:

people like the quaint and friendly 'Glebe Village' atrnosphere created by the variety and uniqueness of shops in the community. people like the variety of lifestyles present in the Glebe and want to preserve and promote a healthy mix of age and interest groups in the area. people like the diversity of housing stock and the 'historic feeling' some of the housing types project.

However, despite the good work begun and the healthy numerical and geographic representation achieved in most areas, we have yet to hear from interest groups such as landlords, students, senior citizens, special needs groups (such as the handicapped), youth, industry, schools, local business persons, universities, churches, senior citizen homes and ethnic groups. Participation was sought from the following interest groups:-

A merchant meeting was called on Monday, October 24 at Hopewell Public School. Michael Crutchlow, owner of Lightning Bakery, 586 Bank Street, visited 111 stores in the Glebe to personally invite the business people tc5 the meeting -- 11 business people attended. The enthusiasm of these people promises to create a core from which increased business involvement can be expected.

A VTR (video tape recording) session was launched Friday, October 21, in order to tape interviews of both merchant and resident perceptions of commercial needs and problems in the Glebe. The tape produced from this session will be made available to future planning meetings. The VTR team' consisted of three Glebe residents, Sandra Hawkins, Roger Peters, and Chris Brown (also animator with Ottawa Cablevision) and myself. We intend to continue using VTR in the merchant community and other non-participant sectors in the coming months. Anyone interested in joining in this effort please call me at 563-3379.

A special meeting was held with Carleton University Students Association on October 18, 1977 to inforrn this student elected body of the need for student participation in the Neighbour.- hood Study especially with regards to the need for student housing in both the Glebe and Ottawa South. Angela Sullivan, (231-4380), vice president of the student services at CUSA and Susan Hunter (231-3612), off campus housing clerk of the housing office at Carleton University, have been actively encouraging the participation of both the student and university admin- istration body. If you are a student and wish to plug into these activities, call either Angela or Susan, they'd be delighted to hear from you.

Contacts have also been made in the Italian community of the Glebe, mainly through the efforts of three energetic and involved Glebe residents - Angelina Cacciato (of the Sun Day Company) 238-9435, and Suzanne Vinette, 235-6145 and Angelina's mother Mrs. Cacciato. We hope to continue this effort of encouraging active participation from this group throughout the study. If you would like to assist (and especially if you are Italian spealdng), please call Angelina, Suzanne or myself.

It is your community - your community's future - if you feel therh a place where you can 'plug in' please call any of the above-mentioned people or myself at 563-3379.

Glebe Community Association

tackling school problems by Gillian Welborne

The first Glebe Community Association Executive meeting for the 1977/8 session took place in the community- centre on September 27th. In the President's absence, Sylvia Holden took the chair.

She introduced Rosine Abonyi of the Federation of Com- munity Councils. Miss Abonyi spoke about the need to support the Federation even though the problems with which they are immediately concerned do not directly affect the Glebe. The city of Ottawa is prepared to award a grant of $20,000 to the Federation but expects local groups to share tneir support by each contributing $100. In response to this appeal it was moved and carried that the G. C.A. donate $100 to the Federation and that a letter be sent to the city approviag its action in awarding the grant.

Michelle Pronovost as chairman of the Education Committee, briefed the executive on a meeting July 20th attended by Chris Barde, Director of Planning of the Ottawa Board of Education and representatives from Mutchmor and First Avenue schools. The O.B.E. is, at present, disccussing the future of small neighbourhood schools and the Glebe is one of three areas which is to be examined. A working committee has been formed which includes trustees, teachers and parents of both First Avenue and Mutchrnor schools. The Glebe Community Association wishes to be represented on that committee on the premise "that the role of the G.C.A. is to represent broadly, the community interest, particularly on behalf of those not directly represented by the Home and School Associations". The problems to be considered include the closure of small schools, declining enrolment in the English streams, and the future of French immersion programmes.

The next meeting of the G.C. A. Executive will be held on Tuesday Nov. 22, 1977 at the CDmmunity Centre.

All together now . . .

Three cheers for Glebe Conservers! Who says we are an affluent, uncaring, consuming society with no thought for our children's

future? So many people every day demonstrate their concern for the environment by various means, whether recycling or saving fuel, that it may be tirne to think more positively about ourselves. The image we have gained in the press has been based on facts and has shown us how Ytupid we have been in despoiling our heritage. But there are signs that this attitude is changing; experience has shown that given the opportunity to practice recycling on a conven- ient, accessible basis, people will do so. It is not that we are thoughtless or uncaring, but that we need information about our environrnent and our damage to it. Once_alerted to the problems we have to desmonstrate to our governments our desires for solutions, since without grass roots support our governments cannot take effective remedial action.

Here in the Glebe we are demonstrating daily otur concern for the land. One householder has cut down her GARBAGE from one can a week to one can every two weeks. Another sets the FURNACE at 62 degrees F during the night and raises it to 65 degrees F only when every- one gets home around 4:00 prn. Total savings in fuel oil last winter as compared with the pre- vious year was 120 gallons. More importantly for household expenses was a saving of $58 on the total annual fuel bill. One Glebe resident has had a WATER-HEA'TER SWITCH installed in the kitchen so that she can turn off the heater easily (rather than run down to the basement) when she knows she won't be needing hot water. Last winter we put clear PLASTIC SHEETING OVER DOUBLE WINDOWS that were not required for ventilation or for the view, such as hall and stair- landing windows. This was so successful in cutting down the air intake (euphemism for drafts) that we plan to extend the coverage to side windows in the main rooms and let the view take care of itself through the large central window.

We all know about keeping worms in some soil in a garbage can in the basement to be fed our FOOD SCRAPS (e. g. vegetable waste unfit for broth- malcing, egg shells, tea leaves and coffee grounds), thanks to our well - known conserver, Sylvia Holden. We have also learned from her to save ECG CARTONS and PACKAGING ITEMS such as plastic food trays that can be used as play material for our local day care centre or kindergarten or for young visitors at home. Babysitters might take note of these ideas for amusing their charges. MAGAZINES can - not be put out for newspaper recycling but would be welcomed by nursing homes or hospitals, maybe even your hairdresser, doctor or next - door neighbour. One Glebe resident had the bright idea of a COMMUNAL LEAF - SHREDDER which could be bought by the community and loaned out for a small fee to enable us to compost all those leaves more easily than can be done in bulk. Another person saves those 128 oz. SALAD OIL CANS, takes off the top and uses them as file boxes for important papers.

It would be better to do without PLASTIC JUGS altogether or put them on a recyclable basis, but until a solution is found we must try to find ways to prevent them reaching the dump where they do not decompose. Here are a few ideas gleaned from discussions with people at our Community Centre Flea Markets:

use as watering jugs for plants - one on each floor of the house (did you know that if water stands for 3 days the chlorine is lost?) or for making up and storing liquid fertilizer small ones filled with sand or gravel for ballast can be used in the toilet tank to lower the water level, thus saving water frozen water-filled jugs are useful for insulated picnic bags bottom part cut off can be used as a toilet brush holder or as a pail in the sandbox top part inverted for use as funnel for fondue fuel, for the sandbox, for putting rice, sugar, etc. into storage containers; also for "hot caps" for young plants on frosty nights in Spring cut into strips to serve as identification tags for plants and seeds; I have also heard of strips being made into sun hats by lacing "holed" strips together but I don't have the exact details' !

CLOTHING, DRAPES, FURNITURE, if not recycled at our local Flea Markets can be picked up by Neighbourhood Services (728 - 3737) or given to other worthy causes often highlighted in the daily press.

Does everyone know about the City's pilot project to RECYCLE NEWSPAPERS into housing insulation? Now taking place every Wednesday over the whole Wednesday collection area including Centretown and Ottawa South, our record in the Glebe has been good but could irn - prove. We started off with 22./3 of Glebe households participating to produce 13 tons. We have reached 50% participation producing 17 tons but now we are down to 40% participation for a total of 91 tons. Remember to put it out before 7:00 am in a box or brown shopping bag, rain or shine. The TIN AND GLASS RECYCLING depot is doing record business at the back of the Glebe ICA. We are now averaging 1 ton of glass per week and 200 lbs . of tin. Remember to remove all metal and plastic including lids from the glass and all the paper from the tin, otherwise volunteers will have to stand around with their little kitchen knives doing it. B y checking through the material prior to sending it to Montreal (glass) and to Hamilton (tin), the volunteers save City taxpayers the equivalent of $60 per ton of glass in man hour/ wages.

There must be many more ideas to save energy resources and reduce pollution. Please share them with us by phoning or writing Hazel Mackenzie, 381 Second Avenue, 236- 9054.
