future.

Parents: Show more concern about drugs
The sociologists and historians of the future will scratch their
heads in confusion and disgust as their research will reveal to them
that the parents of 1980 were willing to sign petitions, form interest
groups, make recommendations, badger elected representatives and beseige
school boards about any perceived, actual or future threat to
their children's health education and welfare - but allowed drug dealers
to exploit those same children with barely a murmur of protest.
Absenteeism, drop-outs and classroom interruptions have prompted the
Ottawa Board of Education and some Parent Advisory Committees to embark
on a drug familiarization program for parents. In October, the parents
of the 1700 students at Glebe Collegiate were invited to a drug education
forum featuring police and social service representatives...about
30 parents and students attended. The OBE, as a Continuing Education
course, offered two eight-hour, 12-person seminar courses on drug
education for parents, receiving additional publicity via an article
in the Glebe Report..five parents signed up. A dismal reflection on
parental concern.
To be forewarned is to be fore-armed. The parent who familiarizes
him/herself with the forms and effects of illegal drugs, before his/her
child is exposed, can develop personal policy, give the child guidance,
and recognize usage fairly quickly. (Bear in mind that children are
now exposed to drugs by 10 years of age.) Attendance at a drug education
forum or seminar Coes NOT imply that your child is involved with
drugs. In fact, one of the most effective deterrents to drug use is a
child's knowledge that a parent cares enough to become informed about
drugs.
Knowledgeable parents armed with indignation and working as a group
can be effective in curbing illegal drug traffic among school children.
Talk with your school guidance counsellor,. or call Mary Wallace at

Possible reprieve for First Ave. School
by David Bouse
First Avenue School may be saved after all, according to Barry James,
head of the campaign promoting renovation of the existing building.
The Board of Education's recent decision to establish a second
Ward French immersion centre at Hopewell Avenue School next fall has
given his campaign a substantial advantage. Prior to October 15, the
"new" First Avenue School would have required at least 20 classrooms to
accommodate a growing student population from the Glebe, Ottawa South,
When the Board decided that the "new" First Avenue School would be
essentially the same size as the present building, the "Save First
Avenue School Campaign" immediately approached the Board and asked them
to reconsider their earlier decision to demolish and rebuild. This
request for reconsideration was made because no apparent reason could be
found for not renovating the existing building.
Following Mr. James' request, on October 20 the Board Management Committee
resolved with one dissenting vote to look at an updated comparison
of costs between renovation and reconstruction. On October 29,

Work continues on Mutchmor gym.
Mutchmor news
The Mutchmor All-Star Soccer Team has been declared the Ottawa Board
of Education soccer champions after winning the annual fall tournament
for elementary schools. Four teachers and 70 children participated in
the 30 noon hour and after-four games that preceded the tournament.
Four teams of grade five and six boys and girls are now involved in
house league volleyball games after school.
Construction work on the new gymnasium is proceeding on schedule.
The foundations have already been poured and some preliminary plumbing
installed. During November, the stage in the present gym will be
removed and a partition erected to provide a passageway to the new
addition. The present gym will, therefore, be even more reduced in size.
Mary Sproule, kindergarten teacher and co-ordinator of the volunteer
program, organized an evening workshop on November 5 to outline the
responsibilities of being a volunteer. Forty-three parents have offered
to help out as regular volunteers. Call the school at 563-2267 if you
would like to get involved.
Friday, November 21 and Monday, November 24 are scheduled as parentteacher
interview days. The first report card will be issued just prior
to the interview dates.

with Janice Sonnen
Dear Members,
Yes, members! Even if you haven't paid your dues this year (nat
would be hard to do, because we don't presently levy annual member
ships!), you are a member of the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group
(GNAG) if you live or operate a business in the boundaries of the
Glebe. Membership in GNAG (pronounced variously GEE-nag, and just
NAG, as in gnat, husband/wife) gives you a voice to and a vote for
your Executive, a body of 12 members who at present are concerned
primarily with booking and organizing activities in the Glebe Community
Centre (GCC) and adjacent areas in co-operation with GCC staff.
Review of GNAG mandate
Constitutionally, GNAG's mandate is to:
a) 'provide...a means in a partnership with the City of Ottawa,
Recreation and Parks, to develop policies with respect to the programming
and operation of the Glebe Community Centre;'
h) 'promote and encourage the development of a diversified program
of services and activities both within and outside the Community
Centre which meet the needs and interests of the community residents;'
'...encourage the fullest utilization of all the facilities and
resources of the community to meet these community needs;' (this surely
means YOU among other resources!)
'...co-ordinate objectives and activities with other organizations
in the community and throughout the city;'
'to provide a body through which the people of the community can
serve their own needs and maintain active communications with each
other.
When this large and very attractive facility was opened as a community
centre five years ago, the Glebe Community Association (GCA)
wisely decided not to establish a committee within its own structure
(as was common practice throughout the city) to co-ordinate activities.
Instead, GNAG was separately established as a non-profit corporation
with the specific goals listed above. Together with the City's
Community Development Branch, innovative programmes such as the preschool
portion of the summer camp, Professional Development Days for
students, a Pentry, and an upgraded After Four Programme have been
designed and tested at this centre and now are prototypes for similar
prigrammes elsewhere in Ottawa.
The Group also reviews requests for booking space with City staff,
and priority
given to neighbourhood meetings and activities (which
must be open to others in the community and city.)
Centre houses two "firsts"
The Parents Pre-school Play Group which operates five days a week
from the centre was established and is operated by a caring and wellorganized
group of parents from the Glebe. The GCA and the GLEBE
REPORT have office space in the Centre, and the Glebe Day Care Centre
operates from this building's basement. The latter two were 'firsts'
in community centres in Ottawa.
Funds made on one project are earmarked to finance high costs of
recognized service projects provided for the community. These services
include scholarships for courses, After Four, and summer camps; and
no-charge meeting spaces.
The Glebe Community Association, on the other hand, represents the
commuility on a much broader scale. It is concerned with property,
traffic, parks, zoning, and planning and development of the physical
and environmental aspects of the Glebe and a liaison on behalf of the
community with the City Council.

To ensure co-ordination, representatives of
the two bodies are exchanged, so that we may advise
each other on items of common interest or
shared experise; but we are two different and
distinct co-operating bodies.
Do, by all means, remember to renew your GCA
membership; do attend and feel free to:book
community meetingsat the GCC; and do tell your
GNAG executive which events you wish to organize
or hold at the Centre, or help to plan for the
community.
Fortunately, however you pronounce it, GNAG is
hard to say without a smile. Do exercise your
right and responsibility to ensure that its programmes
and services continue to move in a positive
direction:

Milks and Merry Men make Magic Mondays
Andrew Hale
By Jinny Slyfield

The Magic Kerchief
If the Glebe Community Centre suddenly disappears one evening, it just
may be the work of magician John Milks and his class of magicians-in-themaking.
Many marvelous feats are performed there on Monday evenings:
John, who has another job during the days, is a semi-professional magician
who would dearly love to concentrate on magic full-time. His interest
developed five years ago when he was given a book for Christmas. Since
then, it has become his passion. He works most often with children--at
the classes and at birthday parties--and his fondness for them is apparent.
He directs the class with a mixture of pizzaz and the implied threat that
any troublemaker may find himself under a horrible magic spell.
John encourages the boys to develop self-confidence and public speaking
abilities by preparing tricks to perform for the audience of peers
each week. These may be tricks he has shown earlier, or new ones they
have learned on their own (or from their Dads).
The class which I attended consisted of boys between the ages of 8 and
12 who were well beyond the beginner stage of the other class. They were
good: Coins and cards vanished, nails bent under the concentrated gaze
of an 8 year old, scarves fluttered and capes swished.
Try as I might, I could not make the men of magic reveal any trade
secrets (apart from John's telephone number which is 729-5584). Finally,
I climbed on my broom and flew out the window.

Giebe Report November page 10
Insulation really works for Glebe homes
by
Barry Kiefl
For the past three years we've been steadily imprevin
the insulation standards and incorporating other heat
saving measures into our Second Avenue home. After rol -
ing the major recommendations of government and industry,
the fuel savings have been significant and fuel consumption
has been reduced by some 60 per cent;in the 1979-80 heating
season only 365 gallons of fuel were used by the
home's forced-air oil furnace.
Most home owners are dubious about any real savings to
be had from "retrofitting" an older home, and are probably
concerned about after-effects: stories of poisonous fumes
(usually associated with foam-type insulation), cracked
walls, unsightly exterior changes, excess moisture resulting
in wood rot, poor ventilation, and stale air are all
common but none of these problems have arisen in this case.
By using Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation -approved
materials, researching a bit of the theory and methods of
application, and carefully overseeing the contractor we
used to "blow" insulation into the exterior walls, there
have been no negative effects. There has been one major
surprise, the added comfort of cozy rooms. Before insulation,o7_
a cold morning the second floor bedrooms were uncomfo-_-Lable;
i-ce used to form on the electric wall sockets
and leave puddles on the floor but now the home is warm
throughout.
The house is a two-storey, stucco, 3-bedroom home, with
full basement and is approximately 1500 square feet. The
furnace is the original fuel-oil furnace installed 15 or
more years ago and is probably the last improvement that
could be made to the heating system. No other heating
source is used except the wood-burning fireplace found in
many Glebe homes (actually the fireplace usually ends up
cooling off the upper regions of the house by drawing in
cold outside air.).
The house faces north-south so the winter sun adds heat
through south facing windows-last year a full-length
_riple-glazed glass door was installed in the southernexposed
kitchen adding welcome light as well as heat on
sunny days. The north-facing windows, including a large
bay window, are all heat-losers; most of the double windows
are old-fashioned wood storms, well caulked and tight
fitting. All interior windows have copper weather-stripping,
which provides a satisfactory air-seal. A storm
door was added to the front entrance two years ago and
since then we've also been turning down the thermostat at
night. But it was when insulation was added to basement,
walls and attic that heat savings were really noticed.
Insulating an attic is a relatively simple affair which
most handymen can do in a few hours and it's where most
people begin. However, by starting here you can inad-
vertently block access to walls which you may want to in- and the attic was further fortified, consumption dropped
sulate later. Upon first examining the attic I found that to approximately 365 gallons, a savings of more than 60
there was really no insulation at all in the home. Just ;per cent compared with the pre-insulation years. Of
before the 1977-78 heating season I added about 50 bags of icourse, many factors are at play, including the amount of
loose-pouring vermiculite insulation, which I later learned Isun in a given winter and variations in house temper-
had a relatively low R-value (heat "resistance" rating) of
only about R-2 per inch of material; and it takes a large
number of bags to cover a small area making it quite expensive.
That was the year before the federal government',
Canadian Home Insulation Program (CHIP) came into existence
which now offers insulation grants of up to $500 for
materials and labor on houses built before 1961.
The next stage, at the beginning of the 1978-79 heating
season, was to insulate basement walls. This was accom-
plished by using 2x4 wood studs to hold friction-fit fibreglass
batts of R-12 and R-20 dation; the higher rated
insulation was used in the upper part of walls where heat
loss is greatest. Polyethyi,n,_, plastic film, acting as a
vapour barrier, was applied to both sides of the insulation
although a vapour barrier is normally used only on the inside
surface of insulation; the basement walls were often
damp and the plastic film will keep the insulation dry.
Afterwards the studs were covered with drywall and panelling
and the basement was finished as a playroom for the
children.
Also at the start of the 1978-79 season a contractor wa,
employed to blow fibreglass insulation into the exterior
walls. The walls had about a 4-inch uninterrupted air space
between the two stories that could be filled with insulation;
blown fibreglass was used because it has a high R-
value and it is not susceptible to water damage. It can
be more costly and difficult to apply than the other
commonly used blown insulation, cellulose fibre.
Having insulation blown into the walls brings up visions
of messy holes drilled into inside plaster walls
ot bricks removed on outer walls but in this case most
of the wall cavities were filled from the attic, avoiding
any mess at all. However, this method can't be
used to reach the wall space below windows, so 2' holes
were drilled in the window wells (later repaired with
wood doweling) and therefore no drilling was done in any
wall surface.
The homeowner should check to ensure there are no
obstructions in the wall cavity and that the contractor
fills each space between wall studs; in January or February
you can actually feel cold wall surfaces in the
areas missed. Hold back some portion of the payment
until the cold weather comes and make sure the contract
stipulates the amount of insulation to be blown into
the wall -- ask for a refund if the full amount isn't
used. We also got a written guarantee that in the first
year we would use at least 30 per cent less fuel than
the previous year.
The contractor also finished the job I had begun of
insulating the attic, although I decided later to add
still more R-20 fibre glass batts (1979-80 heating
season), bringing the attic up to approximately R-40
value. The contractor also installed air vents in the
roof, for releasing moisture-laden air. A true vapour
barrier, which keeps inside moist air from passing
through walls into insulation, is desirable but isn't
usually feasible in a retro-fit. All exterior plaster
walls and ceilings were, however, painted with a special
vapour-barrier paint.
What were the results? The table shows fuel consumption
in the home for the past five heating seasons. In 1975-
76 and 1976-77, before any insulation or other heat saving
measures wereinstalled, almost 1000 gallons of fuel
were used each year; and according to the weather bureau
these winters were not substantially colder or warmer
than succeeding years. The relative coldness of a winter
heating season is measured by "heating degree days"(HDD)
which is the average of the maximum and the minimum
temperature each day subtracted from a constant and
added up for the year. Last heating season, which
seemed warmer than average, was actually colder than the
previous year, 4,855 HDD compared with 4,777 HDD in 78-79.
In 1977-78, when insulation was installed in only a
portion of the attic, the fuel consumption dropped by
about 100 gallons. In the 1978-79 season, when the walls
and the basement were insulated, the fuel consumption
decreased by 555 gallons. Then, last year, when the
areas in the walls missed the previous year were insulated
ature, but in general our insulation program has be-r a
gleat success.

The coming winter should see some of the
Glebe Development Plan recommendations brought
into place at Dow's Lake. The Executive
Committee of the Regional Municipality has
passed City council's recommendations that:
a) "the region consider installing pedestrian
controlled lights or similar devices on
Bronson between 2nd and 3rd Ave" - to be undertaken
by the Transportation department as part
ot their 1980 Priority Review Program.
h) "the Bronson/Carling intersection be
improved to increase its efficiency for cars
and pedestrians" - construction is expected
in 1981 on the south-west corner to increase
efficiency of eastbound to southbound right
turns.
c) "the left turn from northbound on Bronson
to westbound on Sunset Blvd. be prohibited
during rush hours" - to be implemented for a
1 year trial period.
The recommendations re:crosswalks across,
and left turn prohibitions from, the Queen
Elizabeth Driveway seem to have disappeared
and will require deliberate follow-up at City
Hall and NCC Headquarters.

fruit and groceries is another small local

Gordon Wang who, of four brothers, was th2 one to
stay and run the business as, one by one, his brothers
grew up and moved away. Gordon Wong lives in
the Glebe with hisfamily. He stayed here because
he enjoys the grocery business and likes helping
his customers.
Aladdin's Pet Shop has been in business for 26
years, 23 of them in the Glebe. Owned bY Otto
FIegel, this store is well known all over the city,
which Mrs. Flegel attributes to their comfortable
atmosphere, reasonable prices and personal service.
The Grand Old Guard Part II
By Jan Brummel
The years have passed...20, 30, 40 years and more. Tenants have come
and gone; homes have changed hands, yet these businesses have stayed.
The businessmen have emotional and physical ties with the Glebe and have
been rewarded with a loyal clientele.
Glebe Tailors and Furriers opened for business in 1942. Sam Nadolny
started in a quiet way. Material was hard to get at that time so Mr.
Nadolny offered just the service of tailoring. Now his business is much
larger and will be expanding soon to include a wide selection of ladies'
clothing.
Mr. Nadolny was and is an active member in the Glebe Businessmen's
Association. He remembers the clean-up weeks the Association used to
sponsor. All the store owners would dress up in old clothes, sling some
brooms over their shoulders and, with the help of a marching band, they
would parade through the Glebe. This was a community effort to promote
the cleaning up of front yards and streets. Sam Nadolny hopes that a
revitalized G.B.A. will be able to organize special community events like
this again. Mr. Nadolny will remain with GLEBE TAILORS until he retires.
At that time, six year partner and owner Lou Strolovitch will take over
the business.
A.J. Silverman of Rideau Upholstery established his business in 1931
on Rideau Street. Twenty-six years ago, however, he moved to the Glebe
because he liked the area. His store has changed little in those 26 years
but continues to attract customers from all over the city with quality
,,-orkmanship.
Broder Electric has been around the Glebe since 1931. Fred Broder's
Eather first worked out of his home and later, in 1945, he took over the
store on Bank Street. It is a small outlet store and Fred Broder keeps it
a quiet, unobtrusive place.
Thomas Studio was opened 40 years ago by T.M.
Thomas. When he retired his son Vincent took over
but Vincent decided to sell the business. The store
changed hands but was finally sold to someone who
was already convinced of THOMAS STUDIO's worth and
viability.
In 1942 THOMAS STUDIO took the wedding photographs
of Bert Rushton and As wife. In 1951, Mr. Rushton
began work in the store. The studio's name was kept
and with it was retained the intimacy and patronage of
the place. In 1967 Gary Rushton, son of Bert, bought
the store and, since Bert Rushton passed away,
Gary has worked in the Studio with the aid and
assistance of his mother.
These are our stores, our businessmen. Each
store is individually owned and operated. The
owners know many of us on a first name basis and
cater to a dependable, returning clientele. For
that reason they stress friendliness in their
staff and quality in their merchandise. A salute
to themerchants of the Glebe, the GRAND OLD GUARD.

In 1939 International Craft Shoe Repair was
owned by McConnell's but Bill Moskluk was an employee.
By 1955 when he bought the store he was
already a firm Glebe fixture. His place has a
barber shop conviviality about it. Customers and
friends intermingle or, more likely than not, are
one and the same. People will stop in just to exchange
a few pleasantries and then go on their
way.
Bill Moskluk is almost 65 and is beginning to
feel a bit tired out. Recently his store was
closed for a couple of weeks; Bill was in the
hospital "because my legs gave out." For this
reason he would like to retire but if his customers
have anything to say about it, he will never be
allowed to go. Some have heard the rumours and
are already stopping in to ask him to change his
mind.
It is not the first time the Glebe has been
concerned about Bill Moskluk. Four years ago there
was an accident. Mr. Moskluk's thumb was cut off
while he was at work. Fast action and the help of
a neighbour enabled hospital staff to sew the
thumb back on. Good as new, Mr. Moskluk gave this
reporter the thumbs up sign with two well-matched
thumbs. Get well cards and phone calls poured
into the hospital while he was there, resulting
in a newspaper picture and write-up which Bill
proudly keeps.
Bill Moskluk doesn't look his age. He looks
trim and full of physical energy. If and when
he retires it will not be to a rocking chair. If
and when he retires, Bill Noskluk will be missed.

Weavers' Guild draws crowd at Centre
By Jinny Slyfield
Judy Rygiel at her floor loom.
Doug and Dini Cameron
Glebe Community Centre visitors took a step backward in time the weekend of October 25-26. The Ottawa Valley Weavers
Guild was holding its second annual exhibition and many of the exhibitors wore period costumes and displayed antique
pieces of weaving and equipment.
The majority of exhibitors sell from their homes. Most begin by taking a few lessons but very quickly become "hooked"
and go on to buy several looms and spinning wheels and branch out to knitting, wall hangings and crochet.
One new member, Shirley Browsky was always interested in weaving but started only a year ago after restoring a log farm
house near Rockland. "The house seemed to be crying out for a loom;' she said. Now she has 2 looms and 3 spinning wheels.
Sometimes the entire family becomes involved. Her 2 sons, her daughter and her husband all help Dini Cameron of Ashton
in te weaving process. They buy the wool either from the co-op at Carleton Place or local farmers, wash, comb, dye,
spin and turn out handspun yarn in natural colours. Mrs. Cameron does spinning and weaving to order and designs and
sells knitting patterns. She used about 80 fleeces last year.
Judy Rygiel is the only Master Weaver in the guild. She first began taking lessons at the "Y" ten years ago and now
teaches there herself. She owns 11 looms and specializes in garments, large bedspreads, and blankets.
One display was set up especially to attract potential weavers. Several looms were available to "try-it-out". Children
especially were interested in adding to the table runner on the table loom.
The Guild is in its 32nd year and has 100 members. Meetings are at 7:30 n.m the First Monday each mcnth at the
Devon,,hire Public School on Breezehill Avenue.

THE
ART PAGE
ititith Jane Bower
If you have been reading this art page for more than a
year and a half, you will look again when you see Monica Pine
in the heading. She is well-known for her 2-15 years of service
to the GLEBE REPORT as art editor. Less well-known is the
fact that she is also an artist. The Plant Gallery has just
hosted a display of her flower studies and experiments in
col our.
"I am absolutely fascinated by every aspect of nature,
the turn of eleaf, the drop of dew," says Monica Pine, and
nature is the unifying subject of her exhibit. On one hand
are detailed line drawings of flowers in pencil (and one in
gouache.) On the other hand are brilliantly coloured
abstract paintings, some on paper and some on masonite
which evoke the moods of nature without being representational
in any w, Abhorring acrylics, she paints wit0
plastic enamels and adds colours in layers achieving a variety
of effects.
Central to the exhibit is her design for a stained glass
window for St. Paul's United Church in Prescott. This unique
piece blends both her interests in linear composition and in
colour. Since the churCh has not yet been completed, the
window has not yet been executed.
Monica Pine was born in Surrey, England and working beside
her father, the well-known Punch cartoonist, H.M.Bateman, she
learned the art of drawing. After attending the Ruskin Art
School in Oxford, she went to Paris to the Ecole des Beaux
Arts for three years where she was exposed to very dramatic
uses of colour. She spent one year in Italy painting with
her father and then returned to England to St. Ives where she
worked in the Penwith Gallery. There she had the stimulating
experience of getting to know the sculptress, Barbara Hepworth,
painter, Ben Nicolson, and potter, Bernard Leach.
Then 25 years ago with her husband, Michael Pine, a
sculptor (whose work has since been recognized at Expo '67)
she came to Canada, a turning point in her life. Ottawa in
the spring with muddy snow ab3unding was her first Canadian
experience and she says she would have gladly taken the return
boat if she could. "Staying here, I had to totally rethink
space and reevaluate the influence of environment," she
says. Thus began a child-raising period where art had to
play a secondary role although she did find time to teach at
the Ottawa School of Art.

Solar P's and O's
Dr. James Bolton has tried like many solar researchers to find how
to replicate the electrical action that takes place naturally in the
chlorophyll of plants. With his group of research people at the
University of Western Ontario, Bolton recently synthesized molecules
known as P-Q's, composed of porphyrin and quinone. Tetraphenyl porphyrin
replaces the actual chlorophyll molecule, but the electron-acceptor
quinone is the same as in the natural cell. Stimulated by rays of
light the P end of the molecule releases an electron to the Q end
creating a charge like that in photosynthesis.
Bolton predicts that we might soon be able to buy a roll of photovoltaic
cell material and fit it to the size and shape of our roofs and
power our homes at a cost of between $1,000 to $2,000.
Phosphorous controls working
In the last issue of the GLEBE REPORT, I wrote an article (Phosphates
Still A Problem) in which I mentioned that sewage treatment plants can
be designed to remove phosphates. Since then I have seen results of
the use of these plants in removing phosphates. For instance, in the
Bay of Quinte both phosphorus levels and algal growth have been substantially
reduced as a result of phosphorus controls instituted at all
the major sewage treatment plants since 1977.
The most significant results reported by Environment Ontario were in
Belleville.
After implementing phosphorus controls in 1978, the
densities of algae in weekly samplings were between 50 to 60 per cent
lower.

Ottawa is doing exceptionally well. In the

Members of the club at lesson
Regularly through the week a visitor to Brewer Pool off Bronson St.
may see young men and women diligently swimming lengths. These are members
of the Ottawa Kingfish Swim Club, the oldest and one of the largest
swim clubs in the region.
Brewer Pool hosts the Central swim team of Beginning, Junior and Intermediate
swimmers, coached by Michelle Wilson. To join, a youngster over
seven must be able to swim at least one length of the pool. In time, he
or she may be chosen to join the ranks of the Senior team, 25 of the
fastest swimmers in the Club. The Senior team also regularly trains at
Brewer pool, spending 22 hours a week in workouts under the experienced
eye of Coach Jay Huneke.
Kingfish offers swimmers competitive training at all levels in various
City pools. Competition with swimmers of comparable ability is encoura,ed
at meets from the local to the national level.
South Ottawa Soccer news

Plans are now being made for the 1981 season which may see an even

coaches and managers are needed for all the levels of play provided by

of its players to fill these positions and so it loses a few each year

Gentlemen and Boys Choir
The Gentlemen and Boys Choir of St. Matthew's Church was founded
some 21 years ago; and its reputation 'ha- grown rapidly under its
three conductors, Gerald Wheeler, Brian Law and Richard Dacey. The
choir has appeared several times at the National Arts Centre, on
radio and television, and it also presents -a spring concert every
year together with a professional orchestra.
All these activities however, are in addition to the Choir's main
function, which is to sing at the Church's two Sunday services - the
10:00 a.m. Choral Eucharist and the 7:00 p.m. Choral Evensong. The
Advent Carol Service (held on November 30 this year) and the Service
of Nine Lessons and Carols (held on December 28 - both at 7 pm) are
traditional occasions, attended by many people; but few realise that
St. Matthew's is the only Church in Ottawa with an all-male choir
singing the enormous repertoire of Liturgical music, in its proper
setting throughout the year.
The boys in the choir come from all over the city, and are between
9 and 14 years old. They rehearse three times a week, on Tues. and
Wed from 4:15 until 5:45pm and on Fridays, with the men from 7.00 -
9.00 pm. The gentlemen, many of whom joined the choir as boys, give
their services voluntarily, and rehearse on Friday evenings. In the
New Year a preparatory choir of younger boys (ages 6-1--8) will be
formed to act as a recruiting ground for the main choir. Any boy who
enjoys singing will be welcome to attend one of two half-hourly
sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 3:45. These classes will be
free of charge and will include singing and ear-training using the
Kodaly techniques to prepare boys for the main choir when they are old
enough. If you would like your son to attend, call the Church Office,
.NOW and get your name on the enrolment list (maximum of ten in each
class). Saint Matthew's Anglican Church is situated in the Glebe, on
the corner of Bank St and First Ave. For more information about the
,her activities at the church, call 234-4024.

FABRIC FACTS
The properties of the fabrics that are used in fabrics
greatly influence the behaviour of a finished garment.
Cotton and Rayon are moisture-absorbent and
contribute to comfort in a wide variety of apparel.
Nylon is very tough and contributes to abrasion and
wear resistance. Acetate is lustrous and contributes to
elegance in dresses and lingerie and polyester is very
wrinkle resistant and strong and contributes to
washability and durability.
Keep and hang tags that came with new clothing.
Today's fabrics and blends are made in such a great
variety of weaves, dyes and finishes that they
sometimes create a difficult identification task. Hang
tags can be helpful to you and your drycleaner.
Always look for care labels. Most garments are
drycleanable. But there are exceptions that create
unavoidable trouble. You can expect any garment to
be drycleanable unless its care label warns that it is
not.

School debate continues
o
ti
ft
The most active issue before the G.C.A. this past month has been the
continuing debate over First Avenue School. The G.C.A. executive
passed a motion in September supporting the renovation of the school.
We conveyed this position to the School Board verbally at two Board
meetings, in writing and through personal contact with various trustees.
We also brought up the issue at the all candidates meeting for school
trustees, in the Glebe.
The School Board, in response to input from the G.C.A., the Home
and School Association and other groups have taken two-decisions.
They have requested an updated costing of renovation and passed a
motion to reconsider renovation when the revised costs are available
in early December. At that time when the Board makes it decision, we
will request that the G.C.A. be represented on a re-structured User's
Committee to assist in the completion of plans for whichever option
has been chosen.
GCA seeks members
One of the matters raised at the School Board meetings (concerning
First Avenue School) waè the question of who the Community Association
represents. We were glad to be able to say we have well over 2000
members in 1980.
Our 1981 membership drive is now in full swing and you have probably
already been asked to renew your membership or to consider joining for
the first time. The Association has been able to speak effectively
in the past, but our continued strength depends on a large and varied
membership. An 'inner-city' neighbourhood such as the Glebe, in con-
trast to a pre-planned suburban community, needs to work together to
preserve its identity and character.
The executive meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
in the Community Centre. The meetings are open to the community. For
information on any meeting or on the Association in general please call
either of the Vice-presidents (Roger Short 234-1371, Kathy Morris
238-2578) or write to the G.C.A., P.O. Box 4058 Station E.

Christ-Roi celebrates fiftieth year
Glebe eport November page 21
In the Ch rches
Father Faucher stands before 50-year old church.
By Mary Ahearn
November marks a half-century of existence for the Parish of Christ
Roi, the small Catholic Church on Argyle Street that serves the French
community from Parliament Hill to the Glebe and on to the Rideau River.
Nestled unobtrusively in the shadow of McLeod-Stewarton Church on Bank
St., Christ-Roi "Chapel" was meant to be a temporary beginning to a
larger structure. The term "Christ the King" recognizes the primacy of
Christ in social and spiritual matters and stresses the values of justice
and equality in our economic and political lives. "A very regal
name for the smallest Church in town," according to Father Jacques
-,nicher, who has been its parish priest for the past seven years.
Rectory purchased in 1930
Back in 1930, a number of French-speaking families petitioned Bishop
Forbes of Ottawa for their right to be served in a neighbourhood church
and school in their own language. The diocese bought the large house
adjacent to the future Church: it proved a very prudent move. It has
served as rectory and apartment for the priest, and the three rental units
help to maintain the Church. Even the hot water heating syStem runs underground
to warm both buildings. The Bishop sent a priest to solidify
the nucleus of the parish and in February 1930 the first mass was celebrated
in a rented store on Bank St., now the home of "Rainbow Glass".
A community spirit evolved and in October 1930, six short months after
sod.turning, the Church was completed. This was the height of the Dep-
ressiop--labour was cheap and there was mass unemployment. The Church was
built 'for an astonishing $30,000:
A one-classroom school was housed in the basement of the Church.
Christ-RoiSchool was to parallel the fortunes of Centretown: because of
the baby boom, the basement classrooms grew until double shifts coule no
longer accommodate the students. Christ-Roi School was built behind the
Church on Catherine St. The students moved their own desks there in
January 1955. The exodus from Centretown to the suburbs closed the doors
of the school 18 years later (1973). A warehouse is now in the School
building. Church records show the peak also--in 1963, there were 50 bap-
tisms and 12 marriages, compared to two and seven in 1930.
An active parish
Over the years, the Church has been an identification point for the
hundreds of Franco-Ontarians in the downtown area. The parishioners
have been very active in cultural and community life under the leadership
of Father Faucher. In the true Christian fashion, they responded
to the needs of the dozens of Vietnamese families, lodged in the Alexandra
Hotel, who fled to Canada after the fall of Saigon in April 1975.
For six months, Christ-Roi basement became a depot for used clothing and
furniture for these refugees in a crisis situation, until government
services rallied to their aid. Later on, in Project 4,000, they sponsored
three Cambodian young people, who are now self-sufficient. Once
a month, a Vietnamese priest from Montreal says a mass at Christ-Roi
for the refugee community.
Father Faucher finds himself very busy reaching out to the diverse
peoples of the Ottawa Core--saying mass for the blind at the CNIB Hall,
for the elderly at MacLaren Flouse, and visiting the hidden poor in various
rooming houses in the area. In keeping with the ecumenical movement,
the enthusiastic clergyman has "exchanged pulpits" with the minister
from neighbouring McLeod-Stewarton Church.
On November 23, the feast of Christ the King, Father Faucher, Bishop
Plourde and the former parish priests of Christ-Roi will concelebrate
a mass to mark its half-century . The Parish welcomes all present, past
and would-be parishioners to celebrate with them.

LEGAL NOTES
By Frank Oakes
Renaissance of Hitman's Bakery
When we moved to Ottawa 12 years ago, Hitsman's Bakery on Bank Street
in Ottawa South was a regular stop for me. Alas, the retail operation
closed a couple of years later and the bakery became a catering opera-
tion and drapery store.
I had to find a new baker.
As it turned out, I also found whole wheat bread, and all that goes
with it, but I never forgot that marvelous, heavy, white Hitsman's loaf,
and I even considered having Hitsman's cater a bread party for me just
so I could order 100 loaves and stash them away in my freezer.
Well, now they're open again in the same location, and the white
loaf (as well as brown, raisin, rye, etc.) is once again for sale.
Who cares if it's triple the price - there are some things you just
can't live without.
The retail bakery is just part of Hitsman's new public presence.
They've also opened an excellent little restaurant serving a range of
tasty lunch items, including a daily soup (.69), hamburgers (1.64) hot
dogs (.69), quiche, and did you think I'd never say it, sandwiches on
Hitsman's own bread ($1.49 - $2.59).
Tom and I dropped in one Saturday recently in the midst of our usual
weekend flurry and it was like stepping back into the serene past when
there was time to spare, when a loaf cost 28 cents, and when we didn't
feel guilty about eating refined flour.
Back to the good old days
We relived the good old days that Saturday and brazenly ordered not
one but two salmon salad and egg salad sandwiches on white. Absolutely
delicious - what can I say?
We also had chicken soup, chock-full of chicken pieces and just
greasy enough to be wickedly good. To top it all off, we had Hitsman's
donuts and coffee. We could have had any number of delectable sweets,
but we didn't think our re-conditioned bodies could take too much
goodness.
Hitsman's is open every day, Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m.-
7:00 p.m., Sunday from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. to tempt you. The service
is cafeteria style, the premises are attractive and immaculate as
befits a bakery.

Who owns your home?
Not a simple question anymore under the new
Family Law Reform Act. Until the inception of
the Act in March, 1978 the owner was the
person named on the Deed registered in the
Registry Office. Not anymore.
Now, regardless of whether the husband or
wife is the registered owner, the new Act
states as a basic premise that the matrimonial
home is owned equally by them both. The Act
goes on to state that where an equal division
of ownership would appear to a Judge to be
unfair, he may make any other division deemed
appropriate. The result has been in many cases
that although the Deed to the matrimonial
home was registered jointly or in the husband's
name, a Judge on separation or divorce
.
directed that title to the home, whenever purchased,
be vested permanently in the wife.
The above rule also applies to household
contents and any other family assets.
After many years of inequity, the law has
finally come to recognize a wife's contribution.
Under the new approach, a Judge has
absolute discretion to distribute family
assets between spouses according to what seems
fair, no matter what the actual ownership
states. Guidelines given to the court include
such factors as the length of the marriage,
the spouses'ages and their contributions to the
marriage (including homemaking and childcare).
If you are considering a separation there is
more fine print you should be aware of, for notwithstanding
who owns the home, the Judge can
direct that one spouse have exclusive possession
together with all contents for life or any
lesser period and is likely to do so where one
spouse has custody of young children.
It is obvious to you by now that the question
of who owns "your" home is no longer easily
answered. It may not be you.
