1 4tib0ntel ogroer14i2 st stouffville quebec quota not a valid argument t t seems one of the main con- a cerns with the constitutional reforms is the fact quebec will receive one quarter of the seats in the house of commons this comes down to a ques tion of not merely demograph ics but prejudice what about the seats that have been guaranteed since 1867 for pel there are four who is objecting to this guar antee what of the guarantee for the territories why is there no objections being voiced here one or two extra seats for quebec will not matter one iota in the implementation of gov ernment policy as no one party is ever likely to hold all 25 per cent of the provinces seats this argument is akin to two small children who have each received a gift one is always going to think the other has the best of the bargain howev er what is best for canada would be to set aside preju dices and vote with a clear head here is the you never forget your firsjfeirkey unfortunately 7 our never forget certain things your first car your first air plane ride your first kiss and your first turkey this past weekend i learned from my mistakes and decided my parents house was a much option than trying my own hand at a bird once again last year however was a dif ferent story there was much ceremony when i made the deci sion to serve up a 10 pounder last thanksgiving to a bevy of friends who for the most part were spending their first holi day away from family acting as surrogate father would be fun i suggested to my wife who had reservations we had made chicken with stuffing and had stuffed mani- cotti but never a big bird i offered to do it all right from the yams to cranberry sauce kim reluctantly agreed but with one watchful eye onthe kitchen when the fateful day came i made bread sauce corn on the cob carrots with a honey glaze no less chilled the wine heated the rolls whipped the potatoes and generally had a ball doing it until it came to the bird i used my mothers world famous stuffing recipe but hav ing never stuffed a turkey before i made my first mistake when i molded the breading eggs spices and sausage into a minute with mair big wet ball i found out later you dont kneed stuffing and you dont make a ball out of it that is usually the way it looks when it comes out of the oven so i thought no more about it i sajted the birds insides laid aside the gizzard and all those other nasty bits for the gravy and the cats and set about stuffing the turkey after i had jammed it with the wet gooey ball the cavity was only about half full not enough i made another big wet ball and pushed it into the turkey at this point kim came in to check my progress mistake number two came when i shooed her out immediately spouting off about how well it was all going i didnt want her to think i was making a pills of the whole thing because i was short on stuffing into the oven went the bird and for 20 minutes a pound i basted primped and carefully spiced my creation giving it all the attention of a small child company arrived wine was served and at the appointed time with much ceremony out popped the bird with a flourish of the electric knife i set to carving while oohs and aahs came from the dining room theres no meat on this bird i screamed in horror it was true skin broasted golden brown and under that were bits of stringy flesh and then just bone i was crestfallen kim came in and quickly discovered mistake number 3 youve cooked it upside down she said we sent out for pizza stoufrville tribune publisher editorinchief editor patricia pappas

it will undergo a miraculous transformation my hair always goes wrong until the day im due to have radical surgery performed on it suddenly it shines more bright- ly than a shirt washed in sun light hangs more beautifully than an original chanel has more body than arnold swartznegger and exudes more bounce than tigger but ive made the appointment and in any case it doesnt usual ly look like this thus previous experiences notwithstanding i go ahead my first thought as i emerge from the salon is that i didnt get what i asked for then i arrive home and look in the mir ror the hairs right it just looked kates corne a lot better on the model in the magazine than it does on my head and while my hairdresser can achieve that artfully tousled look my attempts at the same studied disarray suggest that i have just been dragged through a hedge backwards fortunately the angst engen dered by selfinflicted hair woes lessens with age while i can live with the fallout from a rash change of style however my chil dren are less easily mollified mornings start early at chateau gilderdale by 630 my son is desperately trying to gain control over his hair with a dollop of mousse the size of a compact car it wont go right and he begins to lose his temper my hus band who spends about two sec onds combing his own thatch is unsympathetic particularly in view of the fact that another of his combs has disappeared and he has a pretty good idea of the culprits identity a few heated words are exchanged exit son hurling the last remaining comb while my husband mutters darkly about priorities and the crass selfish ness of youth meanwhile my daughter is in her bedroom spraying her crown ing glory into submission and- renderingthe air unbreathable in the process now if only what was inside
