AThe limit is 20% foreign content in RRSPs (or RRIFs). The- govemnment stipulates that any investment that has 80% orffmore Canadian pontent is considered Canadian for purpioses.of ARSPS. By the saffe token; if it is only 79% Canadian, It.Is consiçiered fareign. Let's use a $10.000 mutuel fund*RRSP as.anexamrple Initially youuinvest $8,000 in their Canadian equity fund and $2.000 in.their'globýal fund. That looks like the 80/20 ratio., Many Canadian equity funds elso use their 20% forelgn limit. Therefore, 20% of the $8,000 ($1,.600)>15 also in foreign equitiesý That brings us up to 36% of' the 'total value - n still completely legal;. The percent is based on original purchases, floton current market value. 'So, if. the foreign investments grew much faster than the Canadien ones, the percent of current market value could be even higher.' 87King St.-E.'Oshawae* '79-7777 Q .

Brian McHugh- Weed Man owner How do I know if my lawn is having al prtblem wit white grubs?ý A*e Over the lest three years many lawrýs in the Town of Whitby have been, damageçi by the white grub or more correctly the larvae stage of the EO.ropeen Chafer Beetie. After hatcing inearly August the white grub will begin feeding on grass roots. They live below the soul surface and actually« chew off the roots of the grass. Since the grass roots have -been destroyed, the lewn wvill appear yellow in patches, just like the lawn is drying -out. The damage looks quite similer to symptomns of dryness and many homeowners mistakenly assume thet the lewn is in need of water. Other symptomns to watch for include: animais like skunks and raccoons digging up the lawn and bîrds feeding on grubs leaving pencil-sized holes. Often dameged turf will roll back like a cerpet An insect control application cen be applied during August and September to stop this damage. 718 Centre, St. N. Unit #1, Whitby e 666-3187 Qe. Dr. Mat Peacock - Chiropractor ,What is the clicking sound I hear when my spine is being adjusted and is it bad for me if I "crack"'my own spine? A. There is a fluid between the* spinal joints, similar ta finger joints, which allows, for proper uriai n uiga dutet pressure within the joints is altered and the resulting sound is a "crack' or "pop". The sound.is,,sim'ilar.ta that af "cracking" your knuckles'but the effeots of adffusting the spine are obviously much more therapeutic.'Althaugh"cracking" your own ýspine creates the same sound, the, effects are, much different. When a chiropractor adjusts your spîne they are very specific ta which joint is being affected. When yau adjust your spine the effeot is very general and may lead ta loose ligaments. Intérestingly, when. your spire "clicks" wiff- . euiar aînovement, it is usually an indication that your spine is, misaligned and should be examined., DR. MATT PEACOCK DR.
