Lansdowne Park and Aberdeen Pavilion Up for Grabs by Paulette Roberge About 150 Glebe residents attended a meeting June 23 to voice their concern over the future Some spoke in favour of of Lansdowne Park. retaining the northeast section of Lansdowne as a park, while others supported-a non-profit housing proposal. Several members of the Glebe Tenants' Association. were in attendance to argue that the Glebe, which enjoys a diversity of socioeconomic groups and lifestyles, needs the mechanism of non-profit housing to permit lower income families to remain and partiSandra Hawkins, a cipate in the community. member of the Association, says housing would be constructed behind the fire station, where existing buildings are an eyesore to those living on O'Connor Street. Katherine Dobbin, a resident of Adelaide Street, maintains the area should be developed into a larger park to accommodate children. Although the existing ballpark and wading pool would be retained, according to the Tenants' Association's proposal, Ms Dobbin felt those not living in the proposed adjacent housing development would feel inhibited in using them.

"I'm not against public housing, but I object to the location. The Lcids need a nice playground as they have no place to go," she said. Ms Dobbin felt the high incidence of vandalism was due partly to the lack of a wellequipped park. The Citizet's Committee of the Glebe Neighbourhood Study -and the Lansdowne Development Advisory c,-,mmittee (LDAC) recto City ommended uouncil that the area be used solely for community recreation. Their recommendations will be revised in light of the added new element, the Glebe Tenants' Association's desire for housing to be a priority. Don Ray, Chairman of the Lansdowne Park Committee for the Glebe Community Assoc-
iation, says the tone of the meeting was that housing will be considered in future.
Another meeting will be called by City Council Alderman
Michèle MacK-1 before the revise,i recommendations are submitted. Sandra Hawkins feels the proposal si,ould reflect all the community's needs, and not just satisfy a specific group. The possibility of housing in the park remains uncertain with decisions still to be made for the fate of
the Aberdeen Pavilion (formerly the Cow Palace) and the Central Canada Exhibition. The City Commission has completed a $20,000 study on the feasibility of repairing and renovating the ailapidated Pavilion. Its recommendations are still forthcoming. Lansdowne cont'd. page

By Sheila Johnston On July 31 members of the Capital Ward Community Health Clinic steering committee will define and explain to Board of Control, at City Hall the application for a grant to do a needs survey in Capital Ward for a Health Clinic. What is a health clinic? It may be a group of professionals offering social conselling, it may be a group of medical doctors and nurses giving primary health care (this particular component is called an H.S.O., a health service organization) it may be a group of nutritionists, teachers and medical professionals offering guidance and education to people for healthy lifestyles (this particular component is called health promotion). What will the Capital Community Health Clinic be like? It is not yet certain what components are needed. You will have to tell us, when we do our survey. One characteristic of health clinics in Ontario is that each one is unique. Each clinic has evolved its awn system of administration varying from a clinic run completely by a community board, to a clinic being administered completely by a hired co-ordinator. Some clinics (Vanier) are completely funded by the region with no medical facilities, some clinics_(Sandy Hill) are funded completely by the province with only medical facilities. The uniqueness of each community requires that each community know itself and express its own qualities and needs in the choices of programs for its clinic. Why do we need a clinic? Two studies, one done in 1973 for the renovation of the United Church into The Glebe Community Centre, and the Neighbourhood Studies done in '78-'80, established the need for a health clinic. A community health clinic for Capital Ward would serve the people in the Glebe and Ottawa South and possibly Ottawa East (25,000 people). Some of the advantages of a community health clinic are that it can offer people a health service within walking distance, and a health service that responds to a community and its particular needs. In Sault St. Marie the clinic has proven to the province that their clientele spends significantly less time in hospital thus saving the government and us as taxpayers a sizeable amount of money. Presently health services are fragmented and specialized. A health clinic that has medical, social and health promotion components co-ordinated under one roof can help a person with all their problems rather than sending them hither and yon to this specialist and that, none of whom communicate personally with one another. A health clinic gives a community a choice to deal with its health problems in a co-ordinatedand pexsonal manner where the individuals involved are present to, conscious of and responsible to each other. Also a community clinic lends us an opportunity to start looking towards healthy communities and health lifestyles through health promotion. We encourage you to learn about health clinics over the summer and be ready for the survey in September. Lansdowne from page

Cattle Castle Costs Climbing We have a problem at Lansdowne Park.

Leaving aside the debate as to whether the city and area can support more events if the facility is built, it's very clear the recommendations conflict with the City Council's proposals to build non profit housing in Lansdowne Surely the City doesn't want to make Lansdowne even busier and noisier and then force low and moderate income families to live in its midst?

With regard to my letter (northeast corner of Bruce Rosove Lansdowne Park) in the June GLEBE REPORT; after a conversation with Howard Smith, it appears that my first paragraph was in error.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR STAINS
-
When you get a spot or stain on your garments I. Avoid heat! Never press over the stain with an iron. Heat sets stains. Do not rub! Avoid rubbing the stain with either water or a cleaning agent. Rubbing may chafe the fabric or even damage the colour. Have stains removed promptly! Some stains are very stubborn, and can become permanently set in the warmth of a drawer or clothes closet. Tell all! Fresh stains are easier to remove than old stains. Call the attention of your cleaner to every stain. Inform him as to what caused the stain. If you worked on the spot tell what you used.
Help for Small Businesses Small Business Development Bonds'(SBDB) were proposed in the April 21, 1980, fiscal statement delivered by the Minister of Finance in the House of Commons. On June 13, 1980, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of State for Small Business made public draft income tax legislation to provide for SBDB's. While some financial difficulties encountered by small businesses have been partly alleviated by recent declines in interest rates, the SDBB is intended to provide an added measure of relief to small business. This is indicative of the importance that the Liberal Government attaches to this vital sector of the economy. The measure will reduce the cost of funds to qualifying small businesses by enabling them to obtain low cost financing for development. Interest payments entered into after December 11, 1979, but before 1981, will not be treated for tax purposes as dividends. Therefore, they will not be taxable to the lender nor deductible to the small business. The Minister also outlined detailed eligibility requirements for borrowing under a SBDB which can only be used to make new capital investments or to finance research and development expenditures.

Sarah Clothes Comes to The Glebe By Madeleine Cross A little bit of Rajasthan has foundits way to Ottawa. Half way around the world in small villages in India fabrics are being loomed, dyed and printed in beautiful, traditional, intricate patterns for Sarah Clothes. The natural dyes come from pomegranates,saffron, and indigo. The wood blocks are cut by hand and some of the traditional designs incorporated may go back several hundred years. Sarah Pouliot, with her incredible energy, perseverance and insatiable appetite for creativity and work has "created a unique look which has become a classic". She was the first to incorporate the popular primitive pleating with western-style designs. Sarah doesn't follow trends - she's a trend setter.
"There's no pointin being a follower. When it's in the media, it's in the last stage. I,just go where it takes me, making women look more attractive, graceful, lovely, feminine---more like themselves." Sarah sees herself as an artist. She has studied art but does not have any formal design training. By following her own intuition, innate creativity and many long hours of hard work, Sarah has found success.
A Housewife Enters the Business World There are three stores in Canada--the original location on Elgin Street which Sarah calls "small but mighty", a second in Toronto's posh Yorkville and now a third one in the Glebe at 775 Bank St. In addition there's a wholesale business. Eatons carries her line in Canada and there's a distributor for the European market. Sarah started 30 years ago making dollclothes. Then at the Stratford Festival she worked as a cutter.Then, working out of her home, she began custom-designing clothes. In 1961, she and her family moved to Ottawa and by 1967 her clientele warranted a workroom on Elgin Street. In '71 there was an opportunity to become involved in an enterprise in Thailand. During a stopover in India, Sarah fell in love with the Indian fabrics, designs and colours. This was what she had been looking for and a way was found to get her designs manufactured in India. A little rooftop flat was obtained in New Delhi and an office established. Utilizing the cottage industries in the small outlying villages, the designs were put into production. It was a giant step into the business world for a 40-year-old housewife of 17 years who had no previous business training. In retrospect Sarah chuckles when she remembers how she struggled making out her first sales slip. There seemed to be a myriad of details to contend with. It soon became evident that one can learn as one goes along. And that is how she acquired the first hand knowledge of running a business. With tenacity, the intricaciesof the international business world were then mastered. "If I can do it anyone can do it," claims Sarah. Last year the combined gross income from wholesale and retail sales was over half a million dollars. But Sarah doesn't want to expand; she's quite --appy with the status quo. The designing, creating and retailing of her collection is very gratifying and she wishes to maintain control of the high calibre which she has worked so hard to attain

Madeleine and Sarah Pouliot to assist with the production. They work a year in advance of each season and at present Sarah is in India working on the summer of '81 collec-
tion.
Like her mother, Andree loves India and the people. She has found them to be warm, friendly and very helpful. However, "there is no sense of urgency in India" says Andree and at times this does cause some minor difficulties when Western deadlines and orders must be met. This doesn't phase Andree for she has an affinity to the Indian culture and merely smiles an understanding smile as she says, "the only thing predictable about India is that is is so unpredictable." Sarah wanted a location in the Glebe not only because she lives here but because of the interesting people and their lifestyle.She feels she can make a contribution to the.fabric of the Glebe. It's exciting to be here now in contrast to the staid situation she found in 1961--"except for the IGA there was nothing in the Glebe; it was really deadly. Now it's exciting and cosmopolitan." It has taken two years to find the right spot and it is on the sunny side of the street. While the store was being renovated friends and customers have been stopping by to welcome Sarah and to check up on the progress. "It's great to feel so at home, very comfortable ana creative here in the Glebe, and to see people walking by in the clothes you've designed.
Work
Art's Market Some of the success is definitely attributed to the artistic talents and expertise contributed by Sarah's eldest daughter, Andree, 25, who exudes endless enthusiasm. "I grew up under the cutting table", says Andree and it's obvious she flourished in that environment. It was there she got her informal training in textiles. Her formal training was obtained at the High School of Commerce and the Ottawa School of Art. Andree's designs reflect a sensitive appreciation of nature. The handpainted tops and sundresses she creates are exquisitely executed with a delicacy of brushstroke that is very oriental.Some of her fabric design: combine stylized patterns that date back several centuries in India. She is fascinated by beautiful and unusual colours which she experiment, wic utilizing them to enhance her designs. Andree also does the artwork and the ads for the business.Andree also enjoys working with the customers and helps out at the Ottawa store and the Toronto store which is managed by younger sister, Madeleine.In between all this Andree travels to India

The Ontario Government recently introduced legislation to change the composition of the Council for the Regional Municipality of OttawaCarleton. The legislation as proposed would insure that Ottawa would not have a majority of seats on Regional Council despite the fact that Ottawa constitutes 56 per cent of the Region's population and The GCA made a contributes two thirds of the Region's tax revenue. presentation to the Ontario Legislature Committee studying the bill and strongly endorsed the City's arguments. In our discussions with Claude Bennett, MPP for Ottawa South, and Reuben Baetz, MPP for Ottawa West, both gentlemen did not even acknowledge the validity of the City's facts and figures. More importantly, they did not act in any way to protect the interests of the City residents who elected them. When the GCA questioned why the Legislative Committee did not hold public hearings on this issue in OttawaCarleton, Mr. David Rotenberg, the MPP piloting the bill, replied with an attack on the GCA as an organization despite the attempts of the committee chairperson to conduct the meeting in an appropriately parliamentary style. Why is this issue important? The legislation was in fact passed and so Ottawa will not have a majority on Regional Council. Our taxes will more likely be spent in line with the priorities of the outlaying municipalities rather than the priorities of Ottawa. This could be very important when we approach the Regional Municipality for Funding for the Capital Ward Health Clinic, or when budgetary priorities The Mayor for-children's daycare facilities are established.

only be decided after consultations with elected officials and community groups. The resolution was adopted on a virtually unanimous basis. The meeting endorsed the concept of Lansdowne being developed as a community park, in other words making it a place for people again. This has the approval of the Glebe Development Plan and of the GCA on the Lansdowne Park Advisory Conuittee, where we are ably represented by Don Ray and Bob Mona?han. My sense of the public meeting was that for the immediate future the City should stop blocking funds and instead invest monies in the Park's recreation facilities. Over the medium to long term, particularly after arrangements have been made to relosate the Exhibition, the use of the Park to meet the social and housing needs of the community should be studied in detail. For example, the idea of locating the health clinic or a new daycare facility in the Park has been mentioned. In practical terms, the City may lack sufficient funds to finance all the desired recreation facilities in the next year or so, so why not pick up on the idea of developing the playground area in the northeast corner through a voluntary community effort. Tnridentally, the last issue of the GLEBE ZEPORT carried a letter to the Editor complaining this column underplayed the issue of housing in the Park. The author of the letter now more clearly understands that readers were in fact given advance notice on this issue through this column in the May issue.
June 25, 1980 Dear Howard: I wish to thank you for your participation in our delegation to Queen's Park on Wednesday last. While we were not successful in convincing the Committee to amend the legislation before them, I think it is important that we were present to make a formal submission. I was particularly pleased that the debate was not confined to municipal elected representatives but that community reps were also present. Your presentation served to emphasize the fact that the debate is not an academic question of interest only to politicians but rather an issue which will have a serious impact upon the communities which comprise our City. This direct and open access to our provincial representatives is a process which I think should be continued in future. Thus I look forward to our continued collaboration in matters of community concern. I appreciate your co-operation, particularly in light of the short notice. If ever I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Marion Dewar, Mayor
Results of Lansdowne Meeting At the June 23 public meeting, there was an active discussion of how Lansdowne Park should be developed in future. The meeting was in part triggered by Park officials signing a contract to hold a food fair which caused noise, pollution and other problems for the neighbourhood.

Heritage Status for First Avenue School? In response to last month's column, several families either called or wrote expressing support for the rentention of the existing First Avenue School and its renovation rather than the construction of a new building. No one supported the demolition approach. Though several conversations with the Mayor, our Alderman Michelle MacKinnon, City officials and Heritage Ottawa, a consensus was reached and the City is moving towards designating the school, a heritage building.

Schools: An Important Expression of Community History BY: Halina Jeletzky

The new Glashan School
Ottawa's schools are important community structures. More 6ften than not the carry the name of an important thoroughfare or the name of a progressive family or individual who is singled out in this way for community efforts. Glebe's Mutchmor Public School is such a school. The Mutchmors (the name is apparently gaelic and means "big After moving cap") first appeared in this area about 1830. out and back into the district in the 1870's, the Mutchmors became prominent citizens. Mutchmor and Garland was one of Ottawa's largest merchant firms during the 1870's. Later the family was involved in real estate. Several Mutchmors settled in the Glebe and there constructed fine homes for their families. (ref. Public Archives Ottawa
PUBLIC MEETING Wednesday, July 30 1980
-- 7:30
p.m.
Glebe Community Centre To review a Park Development Proposal for Lakeview Terrace Park, at the corner of Bronson Avenue and Lakeview Terrace. This project was initiated by residents on the Lakeview Terrace Ad Hoc Park Committee, which is affiliated with the Dow's Lake
Homeowner's Association. The proposal is to enter into a jointly funded development between the neighbourhood resident group and the City of Ottawa.
Please drop in to review and discuss this proposal with representatives of the Ad Hoc Park Committee and other residents. If you have any questions, please contact tir. R. Harrison, Chairman, Ad Hoc Park Committee, at 237-6402.
Schools also reflect the constantly changing face of communities since alterations are made within the schools as the community expands or diminishes. The older Public Schools, and these include the former Osgoode, First Avenue, Hopewell, Lady Evelyn, Mutchmor, Crichton and others, are particularly interesting in this respect. Central Ottawa ha many different types of schools ,some recently built and some built at an earlier date. Each is valuable in that it offers a way of comprehending the history of the community in which it stands. This comprehension is not as easily grasped through residential structures since most of them were designed in groups. Schools are valuable expressions of community history and should be protected for this reason. Below: Top,'Centretown School Bottom, Uppertown School

Killeany Towers Needs Landscaping In December 4974, Metcalfe Realty Limited obtained from City Council approval of a site plan for Killeany Towers ONE and TWO, including landscaping treatment. As we all know, only the first tower was built and the owners did not carry out any permanent landscaping reasoning that it would surely be damaged or destroyed during construction of Tower TWO. Officials of Planning Branch have suggested that "in the event that construction of the new development has not commenced by the end of the first quarter of 1980, that the City lift its extension time for construction and require permanent landscape treatment installed at that time." (Memo from Jim Thoms, Director of Planning, July 9, 1979) It seems that five years is a sufficiently long extension period and that it is time for Metcalfe Realty to implement the conditions of their agreement by installing proper and permanent landscaping, particularly in regards to the gravel parking lot.

Prairie Symphony a Novel by Wilfred Eggleston Reviewed by Leslie Wallace Unlike some authors whose books have been reviewed in these pages, longtime Glebe resident Wilfred Eggleston is already well known as a writer. He is, however, better known for his nonfiction work on various Canadian historical themes (for example, THE QUEEN'S CHOICE, A story of Canada's Capital; THE FRONTIER AND CANADIAN LETTERS, and CANADA'S NUCLEAR STORY) than he is for his novels or his one book of poetry, PRAIRIE MOONLIGHT AND OTHER LYRICS. PRAIRIE SYMPir.ONY is one of Eggleston's novels. Set in Alberta during the period leading into the Depression, it tells the story of Christopher Niles, a buciding young prairie poet. Like many ambitious young men raised on the prairies during the time, Christopher not only finds himself isolated from individuals who share his love of literature: he also struggles against almost insurmountable obstacles in order to complete his education and to support himself, devoting all of his spare time to the perfection of his impecunious craft. Under such circumstances other loves would seem to be out of the question. As the Depression closes in around him, Christopher continues to deny his longstanding love for a woman while doggedly pursuing his dream of achieving creative greatness in his poetry. Eventually he is compelled to choose between ambition and love, and the young poet's Photo by Jinny Slyfield tortured analysis of his own creative abilities becomes the means by which he makes his decision. PRAIRIE SYMPHONY has been a labour of love for its author, on whose youthful experiences it is based. Composed during World War II, the original manuscript was unsold and more or less forgotten until after Eggleston's retirement when it was discovered in a box of Christmas wrappings. With the encouragement of his daughter, who had long been curious about it, PRAIRIE SYMPHONY was rewritten and subsequently published by Borealis Press. It is a novel steeped in the imagery and the history of its Western Canadian origins. Eggleston's descriptive prose assumes a poetic quality at times and it is this, in particular, which makes PRAIRIE SYMPHONY a pleasure to read. Wilfred Eggleston and his wife Magdalena, who is also an author, have lived in the Glebe off and on since 1929. Their daughter, Anne Elisabeth lives with them in their home on Clemow, where she maintains a music studio. Mr. Eggleston was on the first staff of Carleton College, where he taught English literature. When the School of Journalism was founded, he began to teach there, becoming its head in 1947 and retiring in 1966. His first novel, THE HIGH PLAINS, was published in 1938. He has also written an autobiography - WHILE I STILL REMEMBER. Ottawa readers will be particularly interested in a forthcoming book, LITERARY FRIENDS, a collection of reminiscences much of which is set against an Ottawa background. Wilfred Eggleston's books can be found at the Book Bazaar or at Prospero Books.

Co-op Housing Growth Stunted Brian Eaton Co-operative housing is an idea that seems to be catching on all over North America. But here in the Glebe, it is having its problems. Co-op housing is a form of housing that is a cross between home ownership and renting. Property is acquired by co-operative societies, either public or privately-owned, and is made available to co-op members on a non-profit basis. Members pay rent, or "housing charges", just as tenants would, but since they are members of the organization which administers the housing, they are in effect their own landlords, The more and have a say in the collective decision-making proces,. familiar non-profit housing, however, does not have this built-in equity for résidents, although they may be involved in some of the decision-making process through committees and boards. The Glebe Non-Profit Housing Co-operative is a private co-op. Currently, after three years of operation, it has title to seven housing The co-op wants to expand, but it seems to be held to its units. present size, due to a number of faAors.
Renovation-Rehabilitation Projects In Canada, most of the mortgage money for housing co-ops is underwritten by CMHC, the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. CMHC's expertise, -tiLd the type of housing it knows best how to deal with, is Most of the co-op housing projects in in the new-construction area. Ottawa to date have been of the new-construction type. A project is designed by a team of architects in consultation with a co-op's members, and once the housing is completed the members move in. The Glebe co-op Existing housing is however, is a renovation-rehabilitation project. acquired and repaired, and is filled by the co-op's membership waiting list as units become available. Dalhousie Housing Co-op and the Glebe Co-op are the only two projects of this type in Ottawa at the moment. In Dalhousie, there is still some housing that can be acquired at In the Glebe, reasonable prices and taken off the speculation market. the need is just as great to keep housing off the speculation market, but the cost of acquiring it is considerably higher to begin with than in Dalhousie The Glebe Co-07's inability to grow beyond seven units has limited its development. At present, it relies totally on a volunteer base for its administration. Without additional units, and the administration funds which CMHC would include with them, there is no possibility of hiring a full or part-time co-ordinator to assist the volunteer effort. In general, there is a need for a wider understanding of the unique These include the time problems of rehabilitation housing projects. that it takes to locate suitable housing units, coming to agreement with the funding bodies on their appraisal value, and sustaining membership interest while the co-op is still searching for housing to buy. The Glebe Housing Co-op haseacountered all these problems at one time or another, with the result that its progress has not been uniformly .
N G G by Annie Woodbridge With the summer program or Camp Chimo and adult classes well underway, GNAG is ready to begin programming for Saturday and evening classes for the fall. If you can think of any courses you would like to see offered or would be willing to offer to adults or children, please contact the Vice Chairwoman, Programming, Kim Voelker (233-7463) or me (235-1627). We welcome your input. The first two sessions of the junior camp (ages 6-11) are full but there are still some spaces left for the last two sessions and for all sessions of the Kinder camp (ages 4-5). The preschool camp is full for all sessions - obviously a welcome service in the Glebe. Many thanks to the Lions Club and especially Roy Trudel for sponsoring one Glebe family at camp for the summer. GNAG has done some fundraising to help finance the camp as well. Thanks to Carol Imbert and Oksana Shewchenko, the June 21 Flea Market netted almost $600, and the tremendous 50s dance put on by the Melgund Street Gang contributed another $200. I hope the dance becomes an annual affair. The first summer special event happened July 16 - a screening of the film WATERSHIP DO. The next one is on July 31 - plans are for a drama group to come into the Centre.that evening. These events are open to the community, so please come.

Gordon now believes he is on the verge of_ a new style. He is renovating a 100-year old farmhouse on the Gatineau River and feels that the surroundings will influence him to paint landscapes. However, these may well be semi-abstract in style. The house should provide an exciting environment in which to experiment with his new style. It will incorporate his residence as well as his studio, with the possibility of a school or weekend workshop for area students. Meanwhile, his interest in Mexico is very much alive and he looks forward to many visits there in

Gordon Doyle Gordon Doyle is a Glebe artist who likes to travel. During the past six years, he has "I went down made several trips to Mexico. to rent a studio for the winter and became hooked on the country". The small town of San Miguel de Allende boasts an art colony of some 2,000 Canadians and Americans because Of an art school established 45 years ago by Sterling Dickenson. "It's a wonderful place for an artist since it has been declared a national monument. No main structure can be changed, so the cobblestone streets and the facades of old buildings remain frozen in time."
the future.
His sketchbooks are filled with rapid pencil drawings and watercolours which capture the people and the atmosphere of the little town. He found that the colours in pastels teemed to best compliment the mood but he experiments with mixing media for different effects. "The sense of light and colour is very different from here". Back in Ottawa, his paintings reflect a desire to abstract the academic style of the Mexican sketches. He uses glazes of oils to achieve a rich depth of colour and feeling. Gordon is a professional designer, portrait artist and art teacher. He is an instructor at the Ottawa School of Art where he teaches drawing and portrait classes. Several of his paintings were shown at a recent exhibition of instructors' work.

Enjoys Busy Season
By Jack MacRae On Sunday, June 22, the South Ottawa Rovers Bantam 1 Majors, and the South Ottawa Atom I held a combined parctice at Walkely Road. This was great for both teams, as the younger boys had the benefit of a soccer clinic conducted on a low instructor to student ratio, and the older boys gained a bit of coaching experience. This first division bantam team coached by Jim Hamrouni is one of the best in the Ottawa Carleton Soccer League. During the first week of August Jim and his team are travelling to Long Island, New York to attend an international tournament. I am sure the club will be well represented. Another international game was played by our club Thurs. July 3 at Walkley Road when a combined team of South Ottawa Bantam 1 minors and South Ottawa Juniors met Boldklub of Nykobing, Denmark. Gens Viggo Nielsen, Micheal Bzorch, and Henrik-Sten Nielsen gave Boldklub a 3-0 victory. Claus Madson got the shutout. These tournaments and international exhibition games provide soccer playing youth a great opportunity to meet their counter parts from other na ions. r,hallod tb include a complete set of league standings in this month's column. However they are not available for publication due to a few clubs using unregistered players. Hopefully they should be available by next month. As stated in an earlier column the tremendous growth in the number of soccer players in the seventies has led to a great shortage of playing fields in Ottawa. Our club alone fields 21 competitive and recreational temas, plus 16 houseleague temas for a total of around sic hundred members. There are 43 other clubs in the OCSL this year with varying numbers of teams. Needless to say our club supports the use of Lansdowne Park for recreation purposes, and a regulation size soccer field should be a number one priority. .11111111

aNINI=1 Glebe Tenants Association
By Dave Hagerman Ammommommommomr
On June 26, Carol Hay, a tenant organizer with both the FEDERATION of_Metro Tenants Association and Tenants Hotline in Toronto addressed a GTA meeting. Tenant Hotline is a legal clinic funded under the Ontario Legal Aid Plan and exists to provide tenants with advice and representation on landlord-tenant issues. It also has funds for one fulltime salaried organizer. The Federation of Metro Tenants represents 6,000 tenants and organizes around tenant issues. Ms. Hay told the group most of her experience was organizing multi-unit apartment buildings in Toronto but t1;ese lessons could also benefit Glebe tenants. The need to inform tenants of their rights was stressed as the primary task for any tenants organization. Ms. Hay said that even with a reasonably strict landlord-tenant act, many people are evicted illegally with little or no opposition from the tenant simply because tenants do not know the laws. On the other hand, tenants think they have rights that don't exist. "You wouldn't believe the number of people who think they cannot be evicted in the winter," Ms Hay said,adding that this is a false belief. There are indeed very precise reasons and procedures applying to all evictions. Ms Hay also felt not all legislation is adequate.For instance, the rent review procedure is biased in favour of landlords in her view. Also property standards bylaws, because of lengthy procedures, loopholes, small fines, and lack of enforcement are almost a licence to disobey in many municipalities. The federation of Metro Tenants Assoc. has produced a booklet on how to fight rent review. The GTA will obtain copies and try to distribute them throughout the neighbourhood. Ms. Hay said many tenants groups are fighting for stricter enforcement of property standards with increased penalties for property owners in violation of the laws. In Metro areas such as Cabbagetown, Donvale, Riverdale and the Beaches the mobile middle and upper class have almost totally replaced the area's tradilional working class inhabitants through whitepainting.While the Toronto experience gives us insight into the effects of tenant displacement and the resulting hardships, it gives us little direction to protect the rights of both tenants and property owners as the process of "white-painting" continues. At the GTA's next meeting, Tues. Aug. 12 at 7:30 p.m. Glebe Community Centre, a major iteta will be the GTA'S position paper on white-painting, property standards and non-profit housing issues. This paper will provide the basis for the GTA's lobbying efforts in the Fall so all tenants are encouraged to attend.

The Gelebe-IGA Recycling Depot While the IGA's renovations are being carried out, the depot will be temporarily located in the parking lot. People using the depot must therefore be even more careful than previously in ensuring there is no glass on tin lids etc. lying around. Upon completion of the renovations the depot will be placed closer to Third Avenue next to the Davidson Jewellery property. A permanent replacement is now needed for Hazel Mackenzie who, with a fulltime job can no longer devote as much time to the coordination role as she previously could. Please call Hazel at 236-9054 to apply for this challenging position.

This summer, mains will be laid to Jackson Avenue, Kippewa Avenue, Madawaska Drive, and Lakeview Terrace, with the remaining streets to be serviced next year. This change reflects demand as well as size, age and greatest percentage of convertibility of existing furnaces.

officials, police representatives, and Italian Festival organizers, and input into an NCC Landuse study have finally convinced civic and government agencies that if they don't tighten up their public event planning we will do it for them through the courts. Our arguaments are based on two fears: that car-clogged streets will prevent access by emergency vehicles, and that allowing cars on parkland reduces public respect for parks and encourages further abuse in the form of pollution and anti-social activities. The Italian Festival organizers have made a very strong effort to reduce the impact of their activities on our community. We are grateful for their concern and regret that so much rain dampened their mid-June weekend. There are several studies underway to assess problems caused by public events at Dow's Lake and we hope their recommendations coupled with increased police activity, will allow us to relax and enjoy those events ourselves.

Press the ends into the dough firmly. Fill a frying pan with water. For each cup of water in the pan, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
