This fine Elm on Percy Street at Renfrew is (regrettably) one of the last specirnens remaining in the Glebe on non- NCC prop- erty. It is, however, alive and well and one of the biggest and

best examples: it looks like it will be around for a good many years to come. Take a look next time you pass that way.

Neighbourhood Study Update

by Eric McSweeney, Capital Ward Animator

The staff of the Glebe Planning Office wish to thanIc all those who have volunteered their time to make the Glebe Neighbourhood Plan a success. We have all learned more about our community, how it works, its strengths and its weak- nesses.

At this time, the Glebe Draft Development Plan is being sent to technica agencies. 'These agencies, such as the police and fire departments, Bell Canada, Ottawa and Ontario hydro, are asked to comment if any of the proposals would interfere with their operations. In the Fall, the citizens' committees will review any changes required by the technical agencies. If the changes are major, which is unlikely, the community wculd also review these changes. VVhen the changes are in- corporated into the plan, it will be forwarded for political approval.

The first political body to review the plan is Community Development Committee (CDC), followed by City Council. CDC is the committee of Council delegated to review in detail aLl neighbourhood plans before they are broughtbefore Council. CDC has decided to review the Overbrook Develop- ment Plan beginning'in late September. This means that the Capital Ward plans are not likely to be reviewed before the November 13th municipal elections.

CDC has, however, made another decision which may help expedite the Capital Ward plans into reality. There will not be new neighbourhood studies beginning this Fall. This means there will be more staff available to carry the plans through to implementation.

The Glebe Planning Office will remain open through the summer. Being anew face in the Glebe, I am looking forward to meeting many of you, so drop in at 195 First or call us at 563- 3379.

No Ferry At Rideau Canal

by John McLeod

Regional Council has rejected the idea

of ferrying pedestrians and cyclists across

the Rideau Canal during the two years

or so that Pretoria Bridge is being re- built.

Before the Regional Council meeting there had been concern among Glebe, Ottawa East and Centretown residents that no bridge at all would be provided during the reconstruction of Pretoria Bridge. Three cornmunity associations

Instead, Council approved approximately co-operated in sending a joint mem- $150, 000 for the construction of a permanent orandum to all Regional Councillors, pedestrian-bicycle bridge at Somerset, pro- urging a temporary or permanent ped- viding the necessary funds can be obtained . estrian-bicycle bridge. If such funds cannot be had, a temporary Some Glebe residents expressed con- pedestrian- bicycle bridge just south of the cem that Regional Council had over- Pretoria Bridge will be constructed.

Alderman Joe Cassey was quoted in

the Ottawa Citizen as saying that the

boat crossing was "utterly ridiculous" in view of the periods pf freeze-up and

thaw. It was he who proposed the temp- orary bridge near Pretoria. Alderman

Brian Boums of Wellington Ward success- :fully persuaded Council to give first

priority to a permanent bridge at Som- erset, and second priority to a tempor- ary bridge near Pretoria in the event that additional funds are not available.

looked the inconvenience no bridge would have to the 2500 pedestrians and bicyclists who now use the Pretoria Bridge each day, most of whom would not find the Somerset bridge useful.

Other residents noted that there are two elementary schools in Ottawa east attended by Glebe children, and First Avenue School attended by Ottawa East children. A permanent bridge at Someet would make necessary the bussing of Children betweea the two neighbourhoods.

Former gas station located on Bank at Clem ow, now slated to become fast-food restaurant.

Glebe to Get Fast-Food Outlet The former Gulf Station at Bank & Clemow may soon be converted into a fast-food restaurant,

according to information received recently by the Glebe Report. Chris Koutsocilis, of Sparta Building Maintenance, has told us that his firm intends to renov-

ate the existing building at that location. A building permit was applied for August 8 and

work was scheduled to begin shortly afterward, pending City Hall receipt and approve/ of more

detailed plans. The restaurant is to have 38 seats. Local zoning requires the provision of eight parking spaces

and the size of the lot appears te-permit this. Information received from the Glebe Site Office indicates a liquor license may eventually

be applied for. Some neighbours have expressed concern over potential traffic and odour problems that might

accompany the opening of such an operation. Clemow Avenue residents, some of whom have

homes that already back directly up to the controversial Self Jet Auto Wash on Glebe Avenue,

feel that their dead-end segment of Clemow would be used for on-street parking for the

restaurant, and that food odours could become objectionable. Area residents no'w must live with

an almost constant cooking smell emitted by the nearby Kentucky Fried Chicicen outlet on

Bank Street.

BOOK NOTES

by Alfred Holden

$3.95 and Worth It!

CANADA'S CAPITAL INSIDE OUT, by Colleen Anderson Kong,

published in co-operation with The Ottawa journal. Copyright

Waxwing Productions, Ottawa, 1978. $3.95, paperback.

We found it difficult get a copy. Shirley Leishman Books,

88 Metcalfe, and Prospero Books at the Billings Bridge Plaza

still had copies when we last checked.

Ottawa has changed. Few and far between are the people

who insist on perpetuating its image as that of "dullsville on

the Rideau" and even they are running out of excuses. There's

enough to see, do, and experience herein Ottawa to keep

reasonably energetic people busy all year 'round. And if the

wide circulation of WHAT'S ON IN OTTAWA is any indicator,

Ottawans themselves, as much as tourists, are eager to find out

about and take advantage of the facilities of die National Cap-

ital Reg i011.

For them, as well as the visiting tourist, CANADA'S CAPITAL

INSIDE OUT, a new and comprehensive guide book by Colleen

Anderson Kong (and produced in co-operation with the Ottawa

Journal) may prove to be the definitive work on the subject.

Here, finally, is everything you've always wanted or ought to

laiow about the capital: things to see, do and enjoy presented

in an entertaining package of insight and information.

A Guidebook Plus Based on Colleen's weeldy journal column, CANADA'S

CAPITAL INSIDE OUT, the guide book is a virtual encyclo-

paedia of things to see and do in Ottawa 'after you've been to

parliament hill'. The staple guidebook fare of where to eat,

drink and stay is supplemented both by Colleen's personal

insight and large, extra chapters comprising a bibliography

of Ottawa shops, boutiques, exotic food stores, sports and

recreation facilities, and service/emergency- oriented inform-

ation. Whether you're fishing for something to do or stuck for

a store that has what you want, you can look it up. Whether

your bag is antiques, auctions, or art galleries (or anything

else), the information you need is probably filed neatly in

this volume. Full of surprises all the way through, though, you'll also

find out that your friends can visit the capital and enjoy the

dignity of places like the Lord Elgin for utterly reasonable rates;

that The Pantry in the Glebe Community Centre offers "thick

sandwiches on health bread, marvelous muffins, excellent

coffee, a variety of fine herbal teas...and great prices"; that

the 'best show in town' is (where else) at the House of Commons;

that the imposing statue on Wellington at the head of Metcalfe

is that of Sir Galahad, a civil servant who jumped into the Ot-

tawa River in 1901 to save a damsel in distress and drowned;

and that those authentic 1953 red London buses zipping tourists

about town can lean at a forty- five degree angle without

tipping over. Colleen's Great Capital Walks chapter provides five short

interest-walks (with maps) of various older Ottawa neighbour-

hoods (unfortunately, the Glebe/Bank St. walk, published in

the Journal this spring, appeared too late for inclusion in the

book. It's worth noting, however, that the mention of a large

number of Glebe businesses--Handa Foods, Herb & Spice, Mrs.

Tiggy Winkle's, Big Cheese, Southpaw Cycle, Paddlin' Mad-

dlin' to name a few-- attests to the reputation the 'Glebe'

stretch of Bank Street is enjoying as one of Ottawa's most inter-

esting and wried places to shop).

Shopper's Bible "The Insatiable Shopper" is a chapter definately worth

browsing through. No matter what your interests you're sure

to find a couple of stores or shops you'll know you ought to

visit. And the variety of outlets covered is amazing: separate

sections, with an annotation for each shop, cover antiques, auctions, art galleries, new & used books, ethnic boutiques, fashions, handcrafts, flea markets, junk shops, Icitchen things, 'nearly new' stores, newsstands, surplus stores and toy stores.

The chapter on 'things to see and do' adds bird watching and picnicking to the usual Museum, Sightseeing Tour and Statue potpourri.

Mrs. Kong has even provided a short history of Ottawa. Al- though this sort of thing is usually intended for tourists, ignor- ant natives (most of us? ) can probably learn a lot by giving it a quick read. Did you know that Hull was once called Wrights- ville (after Philemon Wright, of course, the hardy New England- er who set up the first successful settlement here).

Other trivia inforrns us that the marble inside the fine National Archives building is from Vermont (where else?).

A public washroom directory rates local loos. You can find out where to buy strictly recycled paper, or,

where to sell your clothes hangers for up to two cents each. Where to rent binoculars for $2 a day. Where to rent a mat for less. Or even an airplane.

It's all here. CANADA'S CAPITAL INSIDE OUT. Not a book for people who want to think Ottawa is dull. Give a copy to your friends in Toronto or Montreal and watch them tum green with envy.

DINING SPOT with barbara riley

A pleasant eating experience, at indoor or outdoor restaurants, depends upon a number of factors--food, service, atmosphere, price-- but half the pleasure of eating outdoors lies in watching the rest of the world stroll by. Vehicle traffic can help provide an atmosphere of life and color, but cars are not enough. Outdoor restaurants are most congenial when there is a happy throng eating and drinking and another crowd walking by on the street.

Alexandria's ALEXANDRIA'S, on Somerset just east of Bank, is a delightful place to spend three or

four hours over dinner on a summer evening. The Eastern European menu features entrees such as Chicken Kiev ($8.95) from Russia, Djuvec (also $8. 95), a Yugoslavian dish of lamb, zucchini, eggplant, and green peppers, and the house specialty, Kaczca Alexandria (10.95), half a roast duck with a choice of gooseberry, white wine, and raisin sauce or cherry, red wine, and raisin garnish. We tried a Czechoslovakian dish of veal cubes with noodles and some pork chops Polish-style with tomato, sherry, and sour cream sauce, $6.95 each. Both dishes were delicious.

Dinner also included Russian bread with garlic butter and three kinds of spicy, cooked vegetables--beets, cabbage, and green peppers. For starters, we had a refreshing cucumber and sour cream salad ($1.95) and a tasty mushroom and sour cream appetizer served hot on a round of bread-- a real treat. Dessert was Yugoslavian palacinke (1.95), thin pancakes with fruit rum and raisin cake, and fresh fruit with sour crearn or kirsch, price frorn $0.65 to $1.95. A litre of house wine at $6. 50, a most reasonable mark-up, and good coffee accompanied the meal.

The weelmight we visited Alexandria's the tables were full, with people enjoying a long, leisurely dinner and waving and chatting to friends passing by. In keeping with the atrnosphere the service was also leisurely, even a little too relaxed at the end as we waited first for dessert and then for the bill. But if you intend to have dinner you will need a few hours to eat your way through the generous portions. Warning: dieters should stay away unless prepared to sink their good resolves in a sea of sour cream.

Primaverra Café LA GONDOLA'S PRIMAVERRA CAFE, at Bank and Gloucester, was also full of happy, hungry

people when we dropped in for lunch. Although most of the outdoor tables are screened off from the street, the animated customers and bustling staff satisfied the requirement for move- ment, color, and people- watching .

The Prim averra is in the quick lunch business with snappy service and a short menu. The combination mini-pizza ($1.95) and the Primaverra Special ($2.60 for a double hamburger, french fries, and cole slaw) are the best buys and they go down well with a 90-cent mug of beer. The Special's hamburger (two meat patties, one and a half buns, onions, tomato, cucumber) was good--but the french fires were soggy and pale--doesn't anyone make crisp, golden chips any more? The pizza was tasty with a nice thin crust (three cheers for La Gondola!)

The Primaverra is a popular spot. It filled up quickl y at noon and several customers, obviously regulars, had their beer and pizza set in front of them almost as soon as they sat down. Our service was quick and cotuteous; we were in and out in half an hour, giving the overworked a chance to get back on the job early and the underworked th irty minutes for shop- ping, strolling, or downing another beer.

The Villa Deli THE VILLA DELI, on BankoppositeLansdowne Park, offers a little tcuch of life in that concrete

wasteland. It recently opened an outdoor area and has plans to expand the interim to include

a steak restaurant and a bar. In the meantime, it serves smoked meat, roast beef, turkey, and

salami sandwiches on rye or Kaiser roll for $1.95; - the smoked meat is the best - thick, hot

and spicy. The Colonel By Special ($2. 85) includes a smoked meat, french fries, cole slaw

and dill picicle. I had eaten at the Villa Deli when it first opened and the french fries then were

the best I had ever tasted in a restaurant - piping hot, very cr'isp, golden brown. Now, unfort- unately, they are like all the rest, tasting overcooked and looking underdone.

I have passed the Villa Deli several times and have never seen anyone at the outside tables; during my supper I sat in solitary splendour. Is it because the outdoor liquor license is not expected until mid-August and so the customers, serious drinkers all, stay inside? More likely it is because this area lacks the street population which makes an outdoor restaurant appealing. This may change when-the Rough Riders are in town and Lansdowne Park comes alive, but otherwise that section of Bank Street is only a four -lane concrete strip with few pedestrians-- not an inviting atmosphere for outdoor eating.

The Baker Estate, Holmwood Avenue

Reader Reminisces About Baker Estate

'Lditor, Glebe Report:

While my address now is

not in the Glebe , I have many pleasant memories of living there for sixty years.

In your June edition, you published a photo of the Baker

Estate. on Holmwood Avenue (formerly Center Street).

I have many happy mem - ores of the Baker place--the large old house on the banks of Brown's Inlet-- and of the Baker farnily.

Once a year, in the 1910-

1915 period, the ladies fioiii

St. Mathews Anglican Chtirch

(then on First Avenue) held a Summer Festival on the Baker property. The entrance to their home at that tirne was only frorn Holrnwood, with a gravel laneway (flanked with lovely shade trees) con- necting the house with the street.

How we children looked forward to the Summer Fest - ival. Chinese lanterns were strung from tree to tree, with booths lining the side of the laneway selling various hand crafts but, of course, only two booths attracted the at- tention of a 10-year- old: the

fish pond and the candy booth got all my money.

During the typhoid epid- emic in Ottawa about 1912,

our tap water was dangerous. The City placed large wagons filled with well water obtained from a well on the Ottawa Dairy property on Somerset at various street corners. People would come with pails for their drinking water.

We were lucky. Mr. Baker had a well with an iron pump and allowed us kids to get our drinking water from it. Never once did I hear the Baker family scold a child at the well (and I am sure we were not always on our best behav- iour).

I have always felt I owed the Baker family a thank-you for all the pleasant memor- ies.

For Yvette Gleason, a divorced mother of six, living on Mother's Allowance, September 5 will be a very special day. She will be one of the first full-time students at the new Adult Day School in the High School of Commerce.

Because Yvette has had no formal education, she will be enrolled in the Basic Education Program at the Adult Day School. Here, in four eighty-minute periods a day, Yvette will study English and Mathematics, and receive remedial teachirig in reading and comprehension.

Yvette's life began to brighten seven months ago, when she enrolled in the weekly Basic Education Program at the High School of Commerce.

There, for the first tirne since she moved to Ottawa from the Quebec coimtryside seven years ago, the 46-year-old woman foluid people like herself. Although she felt very frightened the first day and could barely sign her name to register, she saw that other people in the class were in the same situation. With that realization, she was able to relax and plunge back into the world of learning. Now, after only seven months of one class per week, Yvette has completed the grade three curriculum. She studies as much as possible at home, and hopes to finish her basic education and enter high school. Yvette's changed outlook reflects the progress she has made since starting in the basic education program. Where she used to be afraid of doing even small tasks,like grocery shopping, alone (because she couldn't read the labels), she can now face such problems without fear.

She radiates confidence in her newfound abilitie , and is enthusiastic in encouraging people with no formal education to come forward and join the program. "Don't be afraid or worried", she says.

People like Yvette are not the only ones who will benefit from the new Adult Day School. The school will open its doors to anyone out of school far one year or more who is eighteen yeas of age or older. There is no outer age limit. The school will offer these people a day program leading to a

Dandelions! Nothing could be easier to firad than Dandelions. This

plant is a well known weed or pest growing in meadows, fields or pastures. It's name originates from the French "Dent de Lion" meaning Lion's Tooth.

From early spring to late fall the leaves and roots of the dandelion can be used as home remedies. An extract of the root is a very good blood purifier, and the young leaves are delicious in potato salad. Very often the roots are ground (after being dried) and supply a drink sirnilar to coffee, which is free of caffein; usually they are blended with grains and dried fruit like figs. This coffee makes a delicious drink with milk and honey.

The tea is known for the relief of gastric symptoms, bilious headache, spleen and gallbladder pain. In French the Dande - lion is called Dis -en -lit because of its diuretic effect. Dande- lion tea is made in the usual way with 1 Tablespoon herb tea to 1 cup of boiling water, let steep 10 minutes, strain and sweeten to taste with honey. A slice of lemon improves the

flavour which is slightly bitter and not as aromatic as mint or fennel. This tea is also slimming and helps rheumatic pain.

Dandelion is rich in vital minerals and vitamins including calcium, iron, magnesiurn, potassium and silicone. It is

surprisingly helpful and well worth trying to drink Dandelion tea or coffee for a month or two.

Juice squeezed from the milky stem of the Dandelion and applied to a wart or corn is called a cure by many. Don't wipe the fast-drying juice away, several applications may be necessary, but remember, don't lose patience!

Memorable Day

"A Day to Remember" could refer both to the play of the same title and the lovely trip to Morrisburg where the show

takes place. We took the special guided

bus which leaves from the Voyageur Terminal on Saturday and Sunday a 9.30 am (until Labour Day), and on arrival in Morrisburg we were met by two of the play's artists who

accompanied us on a tour of

the St. Lawrence Parks, and gave a well informed and lino - ginative talk on the history of

the Seaway. After a delicious buffet lunch

at a Golf Club we were taken to the Prince of Wales Theatre (named after one of the villages sunk in the building of the Seaway.)

"A Day to Remember" is an exciting musical experience - lively, joyful and sad. The story is an unpretentious tale of village life in a bygone era.

It really is a memorable day and all for $15 including bus

fare, Luncheon and theatre ticket. by Ilse Kyssa

GLEBE REPORT page 8

The Glebe Little League Maier Division All-Stars had an impressive month of July in their attempt to represent District 2 in the Ontario Little League Finals.

What began as an exhibition Series in Ogdensburg, N. Y., finished in an exciting City Final which saw Glebe edged 4- 2 by Pinecrest at Lansdowne Park.

All games for the District 2 Playdowns were played at Lans- downe in the most impressive tournament in recent memory.

Glebe opened with an 11- to 1 decision over Alta Vista, with 12 year old Bill Bennett on the mound. Our local boys followed this with a 36 to 4 trouncing of Aylmer in one of few one-sided games in the tournarnent. In that game, Joseph Kovacs and Michael Seulthorpe belted home runs for Glebe. In Glebe's thrid game of the tournament they were edged 10-8 by Brockville despite a late iniaing rally.

The tournament is a double-knockout affair which enables a team to drop a game without being eliminated. Thus Glebe with their loss had to win five straight to capture the District 2

championship and represent the area in Thunder Bay. After the Glebe game, Brockville lost 12-1 in Pinecrest thus

setting up another match between Glebe and the Seaway entry. A strong pitching performance by Lawrence Cucciato and a well rounded hitting attack enabled Glebe to edge Brockville 6 -5 in an exciting encounter. Glebe were victorious in the bottom of the final innning when Bill Bennett scored on a Brockville throwing error.

From here Glebe went on to hammer both Overbrooke and Frank Ryan by 11 to 1 and 12 to 4 scores. Meanwhile Pinecrest had reached the final with victories over Canterbury and Brock- ville.

The final game then was set, with Glebe facing Pinecrest on July 31 at Lansdowne. Glebe welat with their ace pitcher Law- rence Cacciato in this most important game. A steady rain handicapped both clubs in the contest and despite an excellent performance by young Cacciato on the mound, the Glebe bats which were the terror of the tournament could not come alive. Pinecrest eliminated Glebe 4-2 led by Kerry Munroe at the plate and at shortstop. Pinecrest thus went on to rep- resent District 2 in the Ontario Finals in Thunder Bay.

This was the first time in many years the Glebe had reached the City Final and the whole area should be very proud of these boys and their coaches.

An entire month which began in Ogdensburg, N. Y., left them just short of their goal. Nonetheless congratulations are in order from THE GLEBE REPORT and the entire community.

Hockey Format Revised by Ted Britton

As the new school year approaches, thoughts begin to arise as to the format of the new hockey association in our area. In mid- June it was officially decided to join the Brewer Hockey Club with the Optirnist Hockey Association to form the Ottawa Centre Hockey Association.

Enrollment has been on the decline in the past few years in both associations, so it was felt that by joining forces the entire centre core of the city would be better represented. The maj- ority of the games for the House leagues will be played at Brewer Arena, but it may be necessary to have at least one night of play at nearby McNabb arena.

The Ottawa Centre Hockey Association will likely enter teams in all divisions of the National Capital Minor Hockey Association in 1978-79. This means that youngsters and young men 7 to 20 years of age will be welcome to participate in programs from Tyke to Juvenile.

This year, as in the past, the new association will be organ- izing a pre-season hockey school and coach training camp in mid-September. However, due to the expected large enrollment in all divisions, applicants are advised to register early. If you wish to register NOW you can, by calling Don Campbell at 233- 3156 or Brian Veitch at 729 -5827.

Changes Made to Tot Lot Proposals Parents of preschoolers liv-

ing in the northeast corner of

the Glebe continue to work

enthusiastically for a Tot Lot in the area.At a meeting of

the parents on July llth,Her- bert Otto, ably assisted by Maria Schouten,Camren Quin

ton, and Yoko Trotter, presere-

ted a revised plan for a Tot Lot on the closed portion of

Clemow Avenue east cf Bank which was approved in princi- ple.Tbe plans include some conventional, well- loved ele- ments - swings, of course, and a two tiered sand box. There

are sorne new concepts too- a winding pathway for toddlers to travel on root or on trike; and a small bridge leading from

one play area to the next.Com- fortable seats for Dads and

Murns have not been forgotten! However, concern about the

project has been expressed by the residents who live adjacent to the proposed site. At a mee- ting between project organizers and the Clemow Ave. residents to discuss 'these concerns, there was a valuable exchange of ideas and all agreed that a

need for a Tot Lot in this area

Tennis Champs Left, Jack Jeffrey, past president of the St. James Tennis Club, pres- ents the Jack Jeffrey Mixed Doubles Trophy to winners Mrs. Val- erie Priddle and Alfred Maione.

residents feel that a Tot Lot with the accompanying equip- ment would be incongruous on

the street as it would be ele- vated above the grassland of the park on each side.

Another concern centers a- round the vacant lot on the southeast corner of Bank and Clemow. The future use of that space could impact on the traffic patterns of that area, which in tirrn, could be further complicated by the presence of a Tot Lot on the roadway.

As a result of the meeting, the residents have written the Han. C. M. Durry, Chairman of the National Capital Com- mission, asking if the Tot Lot could be put within Central Park itself.

Further action on the project is dependant on theN. C. C. 's reply.

Glebe Shows Well by Ted Britton

New Role for Eileen Scotton

The name Eileen Scotton is familiar to you all. This (long- time)residet of the Glebe has been prominent in educational circles through her participation in the Ottawa Board of Edu-

cation of which she was chairman three times.Equally well lmown in the political arena,she has contested the provincial riding of Ottawa-South on two occasions. In addition she has served on the Boards of many charitable organizations as well as

being a Governor of both Algonquin College and Carelton U. Eileen's active rol,=: in the promotion of "Daffodil Days" for the Cancer Society was one of her most noteworthy achievements.

Mrs. Scotton now continues her efforts on behalf of the unfor - tunate but in a differentway. She is Executive Director of Ott- aw a- Carelton Citizen Advocacy. This is a relatively new organ- ization to Ottawa and turns around a unique concept - the matching of a lay volunteer with a handicapped in a one-to- one long term relationship. The volunteer (called an advocate) tries to assist the handicapped person(called a protegé) in over- coming the difficulties imposed by his handicap and society's prejudicial attitudes. The program tries to help the mentally and physically disabled as well as Senior Citizens who are

struggling with institutional life. At this time,because of the presence of several Senior Citizens Homes and Group Residences for the mentally retarded, seven residents of the Glebe are ben- effiting Tom the help of Citizen Advocacy.Another young woman who is slightly nentally handicapped and is making a valiant attempt at living on her own is waiting to be matched.

On the other hand,only one resid at of the Glebe is an advocate Thus the help for protegés living in the Glete has to be imported. Perhaps some of our readers can redress this irnbalanceby becom - ing involved in this program because as Mrs.Scotton says, "Eve- ryone in the Glebe is important to us. Helping one another is

one of the reasons we are such a strong and vibrant community". If you are interested, please phone Citizen Adv-_cacy at 725-

La Leche League

Babies in Knapsacks Welcome Here .by Mamie Johnstone

Members of the newly-formed La Leche League were considered a bit eccentric in their Chicago suburb in 1956. Not only did they breast- feed their babies in an era of almost univ- ersal bottle-feeding in America, but they also carried their babies about town in knapsacks on

their backs. A saunter through Billings Bridge Shopping Centre today reveals how popular back- carriers

have become. Hugims, front carriers for infants, are the latest development in portable people aids. Similarly, breast feeding has made a big come-back around the world thanks to organizations like La Leche League. (La leche is milk in Spanish). We think of ourselves a-s

the grandrnother or aunt substitute", Ottawa group leader Jennifer Camfield says. "In our society many women have never seen a real baby nursing and when they encounter problems they are unprepared to deal with them. This is where La Leche League can be of assistance".

Jennifer's ainvolvement with the League began after she moved to Ottawa from Edmonton in 1970. With a two-month old baby, she found the company and support of other expectant and nursing mothers a great help and source of pleasure. Now the mother of three healthy chileiren aged 3- 8, and a group leader, Jennifer introduces monthly topics at meetings and is

on call to mothers needing assistance. Anyone interested in the art of breast feeding and mothering is welcome to attend meetings. Babies also welcome.

Often expectant mothers combine membership in La Leche League with prenatal courses offered elsewhere. Many Ottawa doctors refer patients wishing to breast feed to the League. There are now over 3000 LLL groups located in 43 countries.

"You can think of la Leche League as a woman with a baby in her arms and a smile on her face, proud of herself and eager to share with you the wealth of all she has experienced and learned" -- The Womanly Art of Breast Feeding. LLL encourages the early development of strong family ties between parents and children and stresses the importance of mothering as a very special vocation. "Sometirnes women today feel pressured by all the expectations people have for them. La Leche welcomes all women and is happy to reinforce and help develop the ntuturing instinct in the new mother" says Jennifer Camfield.

Statistics show that La Leche League mothers have the greatest success in breast-feeding their babies. One mother states "I could relax and enjoy the baby when I learned through the League that my milk supply would adjust to the baby's needs. I no longer needed to worry about schedules".

An example of the League's success is another young wornan who had started feeding her baby by bottle and was able to switch to breast-feeding two weeks after birth with the encouragen,ent of the local Ottawa La Leche chapter. (each group consists of 12 to 20 members who meet in private homes once a month. There are now 14 groups in Ottawa--a phenomenal growth from the two groups in 1970.

A lending library is available to members and has information helpful to working mothers,

information about cancer, allergies and other medical problems.

play area, play and compet- ition, play and the handi- capped child, TV, technol- ogy and play, adventure play grounds in North America and

many others. In addition, there will be

films, exhibits, tours and a resource centre. A large exhibit of displays related to play around the world is

planned. The conference is intended

to be participatory and "action oriented" and therefore at- tendance will be limited to about 500 delegates.

The IPA itself was formed in 1961 toward, increased aware- ness of the importance of play and the necessity of adequate and well-designed play spaces

for children. Membership includes per-

sons and organizations from the fields of community plan- ning, architecture, land- scape architecture, park ad- ministration, education, med- icine, social work, and rec- reation.

Safety Reminder

BICYCLISTS are reminded that with cycling so popular, traffic safety (and simple courtesy) are important. In

some areas, Bic ycles must share the seven-foot wide pathways with pedestrians. They must remember that pedestrians have the right of

way on these dual- purpose pathways. All bikeways are marked with a blue, black and white cyclist bgo. Riders should look for this sign and avoid using pedestrian paths when alternate bikeway paths are available (ie., Ottawa River Parkway). Cyclists in the National Capital Regicm

should lmow the fundamentals of safe cycling.

Co-op Looking for Property The Glebe Non- Profit Housing Co- Operative is still looking

for properties to acquire in the Glebe. At a time when rents are high and the stock of available housing is low, the co-op is trying to provide affordable housing in the community.

One of the aims of the co-op is to ensure that there is housing for people of all income levels who want to live in the Glebe. This task must be accomplished at a time when the area is

becoming increasingly popular with speculators and developers ,

whose participation helps drive up prices. By removing some of the local housing stock from the specul-

ation and profitrnaking cycle, and by rehabilitating existing housing, the co-op can do its part to keep the Glebe an afford- able community to live in. By applying co-operative non- profit principles to the housing they live in, co-op residents enjoy the best of both worlds: security of ownership with the flexibility of renting

If you have a housirg problem, or would like more inform- ation on co-op housing in the Glebe, phone the co-op's office at 238-4650. If you know of any housing,(detached, apartments, duplexes or rowhouse) you're urged to get in touch with the co-op at the same number, or drop around to their storefront at 885 Bank . The storefront will be open through the rest of the summer to Sept. 8, and after that tirne, it can be reached at Box 4217, Station E, Ottawa KIS 5B2. Remember, co-operatives are people working together to help themselves !

Stuart Hemsley

Up Parnassus! by Margaret Mills

Editor, lecturer, civil servant, Consul General for Canada in Boston, poet, cartoonist, painter and gardener are only a few of the many accomplishments of Glebe resident Stuart Davidson Hemsley.

Born in 1905 in Kent, Engla'fid, Hemsely cameto Canada in 1928. After completing a Science degree in Agriculture (Biology) at Macdonald College, then an M. A. (English) from McGill, he worked as an editor and as an assistant English lecturer in Montreal. 1During the Second World

War, he joined the Civil Service Commission. While with that departinent, he wrote an animal poem which was to become the basis for his

first book. Having been left to cool his heels in a corridor while waiting for a meeting with a

Rear Admiral, he scratched out on a scrap of paper: "The hippopotamus... is too-much-bottom- ous. " "That was no reflection on the Rear Admiral", he quipped as he related the incident in a recent interview. That irrepressible wit was to become his trademark throughout his long and varied career.

Stuart Hemsley inspected foreign posts for External Affairs unti 1958. At that time he was

appointed Consul General in Boston, a post he held until his retirement in 1970.

'Throughout those years, Hemsley continued to exercise his whimsical humour through his

verses and the speeches he was required to give. Meanwhile, his poetic offerings were published in SATURDAY NIGHT, the ATLANTIC, the OTTAWA JOURNAL, and the NEW YORKER.

In 1954, a collection of his animal verses, delightfully illustrated by James Simpkins of "Jasper" fame, appeared under the title "Beastly Ballads" (iublished by Burns and MacEachern, Toronto).

Included in thi, volume of lively verses are "The Hippopotamus" 1,above), and the "Pterodactyl"

In 1974 another collection,Up Parnassus!(Borealis Press, Ottawa)was published , again illustrated in cartoon style, this time by the author.

In this book ,Hemsley has given his imagination full play and the reader isguaranteea everything from a tiny chuckle to a gut-- splitter.Subjects cover a wide range of topics with many suggested by news items, as in "CornYeild Rise Linked Tc MUsic",from a headline in the New York Times

Not content, however to limiting his talents to light verse,Hemskv also does a great deal of painting. Travelling to different posts gave him an opportunity to sketch and make notes on such varied scenes as Hong Kong Harbour And the lace vendors at Chartres Cathedral in France .These later became subjects for oils. Two of his paintings, one a winter sceiae, the other a summer land- scape grace the walls of St.Andrea's Presbyterian Church on Kent St.

When he isn't writing or painting,Hemsley is gardening , baking his own bread, or walldng about the Glebe.He is currently cc-npleting a full length novel which he promises is in a humorous vein. Until that comes out,Up Parnassus! would make a good addition any summer reading list.

L.A.C.A.C. Means Heritage Ottawa

by Jennifer Roddick

At the Annual General Meeting of Heritage Ottawa Assoc- iation, members were treated to an interesting talk by Georges Bedard, Alderman for Bywand St. -Georges Ward. Alderman Bedard, Chairman of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC), gave an inform- ative introduction to the history and some of the functions of his Committee.

Committee Formed in 1972 In 1972, the Special Mayor's Committee on Heritage was

formed to evaluate the significance of Ottawa's heritage and recommend measures for its conservation. Heritage conserv- ation was established as a significant consideration in city planning and an Archivist and Heritage Planner were added to the City Planning Branch in early 1974. It was decided that a Citizens' Advisory Committee on Heritage be estab- lished to provide information for future heritage prograrns. The primary responsibility of the Committee is to supply the City with advice and assistance on heritage matters. The second major responsibility is to advise and comment on

specific heritage cases as problems arise. The LACAC is composed of up to fifteen persons appointed

for a two-year term. The citizens serving on the Committee have an expert knowledge in the field of heritage and conserv ation and represent a broad spectrum of community interests and organizations.

Since its inception, the Advisory Committee has been instrumental in saving such heritage properties as the Billings Estate and Philomene Terrace. Recent problems encountered centre around the pruchase and design of bronze plaques for heritage properties, and the style of lamps to be erected in heritage areas, such as Sandy Hill. Whole areas of the city have been recornmended and accepted by City Council as

heritage areas. This means these properties can be renovated only by following certain g-uidelines which discourage alterations that detract from a building's historical value.

Pretoria Bridge On the advice of Heritage Ottawa Association, the Advisory

Committee interested City Council is reconstructing Pretoria Bridge in a design similar to the original.

It is the hope of Heritage Ottawa that, working hand- in-.

hand with LACAC,rnore of Ottawa's historical character can be preserved. For membership information, call Mrs. Stella Kirk at 745-0551.

Products Must Meet Standards These inspectors, who operate out of numerous centers across

Canada, make regular store inspections to ensurethat food-rel- ated legislation is respected. They check such items as poult- ry, eggs, meat, dairy products, and fresh fruit and vegetables to make sure they conforrn to established quality, grade, and composition standards. For example, eggs must meet the standards for declared size and for quality characteristics such as cleanliness, shell shape and soundness, size of air space inside the shell, and yolk position and shape. Enforcement of such standards means that consumers can reliably purchase prod- ucts knowing that the quantity, quality and composition dec- larations on the labels are truly indicative of the contents.

Weighing and measuring devices used in retail outlets are also inspected to ensure their accuracy. Items that are packaged at retail outlets are checked by Consumer & Corporate Affairs inspectors to make sure they weigh as much as their labels claim.

Inspectors make sure that full and factual information ap- pears on the labels of food products as required by the Food and Drugs Act and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act. They also check for fraud and deception in packaging in the forrn of slack fill, misrepresentation of contents, or mislead- ing illustrations.

Penalties for Violations As the examples above demonstrate, many aspects of the

food industry are federally inspected in order to protect the consumer. Federal legislation provides penalties for business- men whose products fail to meet the prescribed standards.

If inspectors discover minor violations, verbal warnings can be issued along with instructions forcing the merchant to make necessary corrections to meet required standards. Inspectors may order the merchant to re-label, re-grade, or re- packagè products on the premises. If correction is not possible on the premises, the inspector may seize products to ensure that they cannot be offered for sale before meeting government standards.

If a merchant continues to violate federal legislation, an inspector may issue an official written notice ordering the offense to cease. If the merchant does not obey, or is a hab- itual offender, the inspector may recommend prosecution.

Role of Consumers Consumers have the responsibility to report any unsatisfactory

products, inaccurate weight or volumes in products, or misleading information on packaging to the Departrnent of Consumer and Corporate Affairs. Through the intervention of inspectors enforcing legislation, consumers can rely on the accuracy of labelling information when purchasing food products.

If you feel that you have not received the quality or quantity of goods that you paid for, or that the product has been mis- represented by means of misleading illustrations on packaging, etc. , contact the nearest office of Consumer and Corporate Affairs.
