FOR FURTHER INFOR- MATION: Gail Smith, DePutY Executive Director, UNICEF Canada. DV: Juilie Rzeczycki Joe Clark leader of the op- position attended a Political Conservative Bash held by the local Women's Associa- tion. Present amonig 300 peo- ple were George Ashe, Davis's Minister of Revenue, Sam Cureatz, Conservative member for Durham East and Deputy Speaker for the Legislature, Scott Fenneîl, Tory MP -for Nor- thumberîand, Durhamý. Protestors picketed outside of the pavillion against the federal government's wage restraints. Their signs reading 'Leave our contracts alone,' and 'What's a Tory promise?' Clark talked to the pro- testors for. five minutes answering various questions about wage restraints. Later, Clark entered the pavillion and spoke toQ the crowd of three hundred, criticizing the Liberal govern- ment. Before his speech was over, he commented "ail Prime Minister Trudeau has promised, is a long, cold Winter with no more jobs." He' said a Conservative government would create more jobs, bring back hope, Strength, and growth to the country. The origin of words has always fascinated me. We know the meanîng of-the words we use everyday, but rfost of the time we neyer give a thought to where they came from in the first place. 1 saw an item on the Broad- cast News wire the other day which rekindied mny interest in the origins of the language.ý One word which caught mny eye in the BN item was "boycott." t's a relatively newv word, it turns out, and it cornes fromn the lreland of the 1 880's affer a succession of crop failures. Lan- downers were busy evicting tenants who wtere unabie to pay their rent. The Irish Land League, headed by the great Charles Parnell, camne up with a new tactic. Ostracism. In future, any landiord threatening eviction could have a choice: he could accept a lower rent or get the silent treatment. You guessed it: a landlord's manager, named Captairt Charles Cunningham Boycott, was the test case. When he ref used to lower the rent for a tenant he wvas evicting, they gave hlm the business. Local shops refused to serve him, his servants left hïirn, and his crops were in danger. In the end, Captain Boycott fied to EngIand, and the word "boycott" became a part of the language. i mentioned "boycott" to mny father, who gave me a fewý, more. "Expiain" for exampie. From the Latin 1'ex', that is out, and 'Planus' which means fiat. Thus, ex- plain really means to lay somnething out fiat, where it can be examîned and understood. "Panic" is another one. t cornes from the French 'panique' and the G:reak 'Panîkos,' which means of or for the Greek God Pan. When traveilers heard what they thought wvere the sounids of Pan's pipes in the wilderness night, they were afraid, in fact, they "Panicked." "Ketchup" is a good one. It wasn't invented by Mr. Heinz apparently. It comes from a Chinese word, pronounced as neariy as I can tell KE-TSIAP. And it wvas the brine that pickIed fish. l 's a long way f rom f ish brine to the tomato ketchup we ail know today, but that's where the word came from. One more for nowv. "Denimn," the stuf that jeans are made of. Again, "denim" is French in origin. it's short for 'serge de Nimes,' a cloth made famous in Nimes, a city in southern France. Hence denîm reallyï-means 'of Nimes.'lf you're interested, l'il do some more of them somneday. That's not news, but that too is reaiity. Hiealth Unit to increase homemaking services The, Regional Public Health Unit wîll increase homemaking servicer: for the ederly and 'Il citizens. It will be. divided among four agen- cies. On Wednesday night, the Board of Health made a deci- sion to stay with the Red Cross Society's four main branches. A home, care program report shows the need for health care will double in 1983 and triple in 1984. In 1981, the Red Cross' completed 16,533 hours of home care such as shopping, cleaning, laundry, and meals. In 1983, an estimate of 37,305 hours of service is ex- pected, as the health unit' takes on a new chronic care program. The Red Cross is charging the amount of $5.80/hr. for the homnemaking services. The Ministry of Communi- ty and Social Services say "the decision hindges on negotiations of a competitive rate with the Red Cross." FamiIy counselling service to be reduced By: Jue Rzeczycki A municipal service, famîîy counselling will soon be ac- tive to only those vwho are receiving welfare. This ser- vice, in the past, had been of- fered to everyone not Just welfare recipients. Doug Johns, Social Ser- vices councillor, comments, "It1 is foolishi to jonly heîp a fanuîy after differences have forced some famiîy members to go on welfare. It is in Our opinion ridiculous," John wrote, "to deny service to a troubled family, alîow separation to occur with the consequent application of one or more memfbers for public assistance and then ap- ply a band-aid in the formi of famiîy couniselling."- John said, the regfion has trîed to council famniîy pro- blemns before the breakups which later would force peo- pIe to go on welfare. Aiso he questioned the new provincial guideline because it prevents other citizens fo take advan- taeof the program even through the help pay for it through property taxes. Alderman John Dehart also comrmented, it was a shame not to miake the pro- gram available to everyone in Durham. 1 Joe Clark visits Oshawa PC bash
