Sales of General Motors passenger cars for January through November totalled 285,060 down 11.2 per cent from 320,934 units sold during the same period last year. Truck sales in November of 9,735 units were down 34.6 per cent over the 14,877 sold in November, 1989.

On December 4, Chief Ed- wards issued a five paragraph public statement which said he called for the investigation No- vember 15 after an allegation was made by a constable work- ing out of 26 Division. . The statement issued by Chief Edwards said the consta- ble was "being interviewed by senior officers prior to an im- pending transfer, made an alle- gation of criminal misconduct by a supervisor in 26 Division (Sunderland)" "This constable alleged that the supervisor had been re- sponsible for ensuring that a friend did not have to appear in court on drinking and driving charges," the statement says. In the course of the investi- gation, a number of officers, ci- vilians and civilian members of the force have been inter- viewed, Chief Edwards said. The results of that investi- gation are currently under re- view by a Crown Attorney who is expected to make a recom- mendation as to whether or not to proceed with criminal charg- es. The December 4 statement did not identify either the su- pervisor or the constable who made the allegations. from 158,540 units sold during the same period last year. "We are disappointed by our performance but not surprised in light of the economic situation that prevails in Canada," said Erdman. The uncertainties created by a week economy, rising unemploy- ment and higher fuel prices have shaken consumer confidence. Ad- ditionally, fleet buyers are postponing their purchases into 1991 as they anticipate the im- pleinentation of GST. "In spite of a softened economy, we are extremely pleased to see that sales of our Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunbird re- main strong. In fact, after only eleven months, our Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunbird are enjoying their best year since their introduction as they con- tinue to lead the industry in sales volume," added Erdman. "Sales of our new intermediate automobiles are still growing substantially with a monthly in- crease of 40.6 per cent over November '89, with the Chevrolet Lumina and the Buick Regal leading the group," he concluded.

The Casia Palace (formerly Bar-B-Q Heaven) is owned and operated by William and Nancy Zhao. And starting this week (Dec 11) the menu will feature a wide assortment of Shanghai, Mandarin, and Szechuan style Chinese dishes. William and Nancy bought the restaurant a year ago. They have extensive working back- grounds in Chinese restaurants in Toronto, and say the decision to serve authentic dishes at the Casia Palace was a simple one. "This is what our custom- ers have been asking for," says Nancy. They added new equip- ment to the kitchen for fast cooking at high temperatures, changed the name of the restu- arant to Casia Palace, and hired chef David Zhang, who learned his trade in China before com- ing to Canada. Just a sample of the menu in- cludes Kung Pao style shrimp or chicken, with a multiplicity of tastes---sweet sour, hot and salty- from ingredients such as Szechuan pepper, hot red pep- pers, garlic, scallions, dark soy sauce, sugar and vinegar. Or the Chef's Special Pork Chop on a Sizzling Plate, light- ly breaded, deep-fried, served on a hot iron plate with a tangy sweet and sour sauce. Another tempting chef's special is the Stuffed Chicken Roll, which is the white meat wrapped in bar-b-q pork and shrimp, deep-fried, served with a slightly spicy sauce and stir fry vegetables. Or try the spring rolls, the hot and sour soup, the Mandar- in sweet and sour chicken (less flour outside, more chicken in- side) or pork, eggplant, scallops or chicken in the Yu Hsiang style. All the dishes are prepared from fresh ingredients and any dish can be spiced to suit indi- vidual tastes. Casia Palace seats 86 and welcomes family diners. The menu includes chicken nuggets and hamburgs for the children (ifthey wish) as well as Canadi- an dishes like steak, chicken, ribs, veal and liver. The Casia Palace is located on Highway 12 (at Thickson Road) just a short drive south of Port Perry. Itis fully licenced and wel- comes private dinner parties. William and Nancy invite you to visit Casia Palace for au- thentic Chinese cooking at its finest.
