The figures represent only 6) per cent of the Glebe area polled and the association expects more once all lists have been compiled. According to steering committee member Dave Hagerman the object of the canvass was to advise Glebe residents of the association's existence. A brochure was distributed encour- aging membership and informing residents of upcoming meetings which are open to the public. A steering committee meeting held on Jan. 10 with 18 members' in attendance dealt with policies and future plans of the association. With the federal election campaign in full swing now, it was suggested an Ottawa-Centre candidate's meeting be organized dealing specifically with housing issues. The Glebe Tenant's Association says at the present time it does not have the resources required to organize a candidate's debate on housing.issue-s. The association plans instead to formulate questions dealing with tenants on the federal level to direct at Ottawa-Centre candidates at other campaign meetings. Steering committee member Sandy Howell says, "At this point of our development we don't have the base to deal with the issue." Most areas of concern to Glebe tenants are the jurisdiction of municipal or provincial authorities.

"In fact it was one of these that first brought this whole matter to the attention of Planning Board."

As a result of the Caucus of Council, Planning Board met Dec. 21, 1979.

We are extremely concerned to learn in Decem- ber's GLEBE REPORT that Regional Transportation has recommended the removal of the stop signs at Fifth and Chrysler. In discussing this matter with several of our neighbours, it would appear that no one is Walter Campbell Originals aware of the complaints concerning these stop signs. What reason does the Region now have for recommending the removal of these signs? Many of us remember the major problems we had a few months ago when the Region tried to reinstate major collector routes in our area i.e. Fifth Avenue. Citizens who thought this matter was closed years ago, had to fight again for ground they had already gained. Removal of the stop signs at Fifth and Chrys- ler is the first step. Within a short period of time, given the waythings seem to happen between the Region and the City of Ottawa, we will see other intersections affected and possibly those signs all the way down Fifth Avenue. It will then be too late - Fifth Avenue will be a major route from the Canal to Bronson. Although we are aware that the stop signs at Fifth and Chrysler are not part of the official Glebe Traffic Plan, we have noted the way decisions and regulations seem to be altered to suit the needs of particular legislative bodies, which serve different interests, i.e. the City Vs the Region. On behalf of the Bank and Fifth Residents Committee, we wish to indicate our opposition to the removal of the stop signs at Fifth and Chrysler and we urge all those who are concerned to contact Alderman MacKinnon.

Perhaps this period of political uncertainty is the appropriate time to launch an alternative party with a refreshing new philosophy. One that lies outside a left-wing or right-wing orientation. 199. The 'Green Movement' has already made its presence felt in a small but very significant way in its first federal election in Britain, where the Ecology Party ran in 53 seats. The movement has also been significant in BOOK NOW FOR the politics of France, Italy, in the European Parliamentary elections, Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania. EUROPE!

Our services are free The Elm as a Pollution Indicator Call us for The elm tree has a very large leaf surface area, the largest of any tree in North America. If all the leaves of a mature elm are placed edge to edge on the ground,they cover about 10 acres. With this much of its AIRLINE TICKETS surface exposed to air pollution, it is natural that it would be more susceptible to disease than other trees. Thus when the elm bark beetle comes along, the tree is too weak to fight back. Other tree species will soon follow the demise of our stately elm.

Minor repairs with caulking compound, inserting new wood pieces, touching up with a paint brush can save trouble if action is taken quickly. A "stitch in time saves nine": Covering exterior wood with metal or plastic siding is expensive, and in most cases is completely unnecessary. It also changes the appearance of the building and reduces the heritage value. Most repairs and routine maintenance can be done by the hôme handyman with a minimum of effort and cost. If hired help is needed, don't just trust the yellow pages or newspaper ads to locate a tradesman - the best way is to find one who is actually working on a similar job on someone else's house and is doing a good job.

This is not so. All the stop signs installed as a result of the 1974 Glebe Traffic Plan met the warrants of the Regional Transportation Department and they are not up for review or evaluation. The multi-way stop at Fifth and Chrysler was installed even though it did not meet the warrants, with the under- standing that it would be reviewed after a trial period. It is as a result of this review that the Physical Environment Department (the bureaucrats) is bringing the item tp the Physical Environment Committee (the politicians). The final decision is up to City Council on Feb. 6. At the risk of being redundant, I would like to reassure Glebe residents that this is NOT the beginning of any attempt to remove Stop Signs in our community. Region Responsible In reply to Mrs. Bernice Hamer's query in the December issue of the GLEBE REPORT, I have been officially informed in writing by Mr. Michael Sheflin, Commissioner of Transportation for the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, that RMOC has no plans whatsoever for the Bronson and Carling intersection. As this corner is the intersection of two regional roads, it would be the Region,and not the City who would become involved in any transformations or renovations to that corner. The Region has no plans for the intersection. Increase in Fines for Lansdowne Events

THE Works in Progress ART PAGE and Future Exhibitions wfth Dinah Showman

For the aficionados of Pat Durr's miniature acrylics, she's still producing them. Wells Gallery is the place to go to view her latest works. Pat's currently thinking big and has begun a new series of large,mixed-media paintings. "More gestural,"Pat describes them. Another artist on .a new tack is Ken Finch. Ken heads for the Gatineau once a week to paint and collect images for a new series of large, abstract landscapes. "I'm experimenting," Ken says,"and hope to show the results this summer." John Tappin's large wood and plastic light sculpture, nearly completed, was conceived for the stairwell of The Amberwood Village Country Club, Stittsville. It is an ambitious and intrig- ing work. John expects to continue sculpture in wood combined with plastic or bronze. His work is on view in his basement studio at Corpus Christi. Photographer and printer Jaan Krusberg has just produced a silkscreen and co-produced "The Ninth Annual Family Slide Show" - a photo- fantasy and spoof which Jaan says he may like to show at The Glebe Centre next Christmas. Geos magazine will publish this spring some of architect John Leaning's fine drawings .of the north. And if the public is lucky, an exhibition of the same will be arranged at that time. Monica Pine is off to England for a month to feast on galleries and sketch. When she returns she expects to organize a retrospective exhibition of her varied works. Jeannine Robertson is currently working on a suite of four silkscreen prints. She is aim- ing for completion by Confederation Day. These will be shown at The Braam Gallery of which she co-owner. is John Tappin at work on light sculpture.

This was part of the iniquitous OHATS (Ottawa-Hull Area Transportation Study) proposals, which calmly recommended the criss-crossing of the city with new artèrials and expressways, regardless of their impact on established neighbourhoods or on the homes of the people in them. Ottawa was to be delivered, bound hand and foot, to the automobile. This outraged many Glebe residents, as well as others in threatened parts of the city, and the neighbourhood association movement took off. I shared their sense of outrage, and when I became NCC Chairman in September 1969, I found many NCC staff members of a similar mind. We decided to do what we could to bring about a saner approach to transportation and traffic problems. For one thing, I made a number of speeches attacking the automobile; one was delivered in Glebe Colle- giate in January 1970 to a group of local Community Associa- tions. I ended the speech with what I hoped was a resounding call to arms: "Whether you like it or not, you are at war with the automobile. You must fight, but you can only fight effectively by banding together and exerting political pressure...You will lose battles...but you can win the war:" One of the best things we at NCC did was to call on John Leaning, Glebe resident and former NCC employee, to draw up a plan to show how a neighbourhood could protect itself against the incursions of the car. He had been doing work in this field, using the Glebe as his model, and he prepared for us what came to be known as the Leaning Plan. Essentially it involved restricting access from outside, eliminating through streets as much as possible with stop signs, making things easier for pedestrians,and seeking to push traffic on to per- imeter arterials such as Isabella and the Driveway.

Tom says this is because he knows that the restaurant busi- 200 FIRST AVENUE ness is a tough one. The owner/manager puts so much into his restaurant, 232- 0110 financially and emotionally, and these people need encouragement. The Fords believe that the best restaurants are those where the owner/manager is present; his supervision ensures the quality of the food and service and results in more satisfied customers. This is one enormous advantage which independents have over restaurant chains. The chains, on the other hand, have the financial resources to sustain a new branch while it gets going or even to carry a poor restaurant for a while. Can reviewers make or break a restaurant? Yes and no. A bad restaurant will fail, regardless of what the reviewers write. A favourable review can increase business - on one occasion by as much as 300 percent. Tom and Mary stressed that they are reviewers, not critics. They try tO inform the public about a restaurant's performance measured against the restaurant's own objectives. They do not attempt to write a definite judgment based on an absolute ideal. You can have good junk food, for REMODEL NOW example. The Fords have been told of customers who enter a restaurant with a Ford review in hand and order exactly those dishes mentioned.

Twenty years ago the most exotic food in town was garlic spareribs and chicken fried rice. Today the locals are satisfying their taste buds with Greek, Mexican, Indian, and Afghan dishes while starting to demand fresh fish and undercooked vegetables from the non-ethnic establishments . Yet too many restaurants cater to the lowest common denominator with identical menus and decor: heavy on atmosphere, slabs of meat, and iceberg lettuce awash in a gluey dressing.
