Ww During the first 100 years after Confederation, every generation of Canadians lived better than their parents. But then we abandoned our heritage of biblical values, and began to slide into catastrophic debt, social decay, violent crime and educational collapse. Wouldn't it make sense to find out where we went wrong, and change direction again? Here's just one example of how to do that. Families are the nation's strength. The CHP's 'Family-Friendly Tax Credit' would strengthen families by providing $1,000 a month if one parent stays home to raise their own children. What would be the results? Families would be strengthened. * We'd get better care for children: parent care is almost always better than daycare. * We'd avoid the huge tax burden of the Liberals' national daycare scheme, estimated to cost $12-15 billion a year. : * 1.5 million existing jobs would be opened -- mostly entry-level jobs that would benefit youth, Canada's worst unemployment problem. See how biblical principles, on which Canada was established, produce sound ideas that have been proven to work? The CHP is the only federal party that endorses the "supremacy of God" clause in the Constitution.

The documentary, enti- tled Silent Music, is being directed by new film maker Christopher Lane, a recent graduate of the film program at Trebas Institute. Mr. Foote, 41, was the director of the film studies program until being promoted to the position of director of the Toronto campus of Trebas last week. Mr. Lane became inter- ested in the life and times of Mr. James, a long-time associate of Charlie Chaplin's who began his collaboration with the great film make in the 1950s. His research led him to Mr. James' home, just south of Port Perry. "Chris researched it, and found out the guy lives in Whitby," said Mr. Foote, who was scheduled to wrap up a series of interviews with Mr. James this week. Mr. Foote, who has written film reviews for The Weekend Star since the paper began, will also narrate the film, and act as executive pro- ducer. Mr. Foote stresses the important role that Mr. James played in Chaplin's Port Perry's Centre for the Performing Arts Plus Greensleaves Trio "A Celebration of Christmas" TACTUS and Greensleaves Trio together will perform a Christmas program including 'spicy rounds and Jolly carols'.

"In the later years, Chaplin was frustrated with the rinky-dink scores attached to his silent films, so he hired Mr. James to work with him," said Mr. Foote, who cred- its Mr. James with provid- ing "an extraordinary insight into Chaplin away from the movies." Although he relied heavily on his associate to produce the scores for his films, Mr. Chaplin never listed Mr. James as com- poser in credits, said Mr. Foote, instead crediting him as a musical associ- ate. Despite that slight, Mr. James remains loyal to his former partner, said Mr. Foote. Mr. James and his wife, singer Phyllis O'Reilly, still entertain at seniors' homes near their Whitby home. It is hoped a rough cut of the film, which has a low production budget of around $200,000. will be completed by the end of December. CBC television and TV Ontario are among the potential buyers for the film, said Mr. Foote. at 2 p.m. on Sunday will Richters to host winter herb festival Richters Herbs will be holding a winter fes- tival of herbs on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 25 and 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both day.
