ST. CATHARINES, ONT.
(CP) — The old joke about
calling a suicide hotline only
to be put on hold isn’t fanny
when it happens in real life,
says the director of this city’s
distress centre.

Centre officials are some-
times forced to put the tele-
phone on hold all night be-
cause no one is available to
work the midnight shift.

Volunteers are desperately
needed, said director Mar-
garet Elliott. Because of the
current trend toward two-
income and one-parent fam-
ilies, it’s difficult finding
people who are able to work
overnights, she said.

“Ideally, we'd like to find
about 20 insomniacs,” said
Elliott. “There may be shift
workers or early retirees out
there who would be perfect
for the job.”

NEW YORK — Cars have always been something
more than a way to get around. Take sex, for instance.
instance.

Way back, Henry Ford was thought to have designed
the seats of the Model T to discourage lovemaking. But
the car had so much headroom, say two American
authors, that couples managed to overcome the
constraints.

In a coming book, Driving Passion: The Psychology
of the Car, Oxford University psychologists Peter Marsh
and Peter Collett explore the roles of the car as an
extension of the home, as an expression of the owner's
personality, even as a pet.

“The passion most closely linked with the automo-
bile, however, is purely sexual,” they say in a Psychology
Today magazine article adapted from their book. Despite
Ford's alleged prudish intention, the “impact of the

replaced the porch in many suburban areas.

“We identify so closely with our automobiles that it
makes sense to think of them as extensions of the home.”

In the 1950s, drivers began adding personal touches
to their cars in a big way as they sought to assert an
identity through their vehicle. Plastic bug deflectors
became the craze, the authors said, even though these
ornamental baubles didn't deflect bugs.

Today, vanity licence plates are a common means of
personal expression: the farmer whose plate needs

urologist’s 2PC ME.

Marsh and Collett say the pet-like characteristic of
cars has long been recognized, too.

SIGN OF FAILURE
The authors believe that the relationship can be
taken too far, however. They contend that passion
wagons — vans customized with velvety boudoirs and
other mobile means of seduction — are really an
admission of sexual failure.
“They are the cars of men who have to try that little
bit harder than everybody else,” Marsh and Collett say.
The authors also trace ways in which the car has
been embraced as part of the family.
In the mid-1930s, they say, the car came to rival the
home as a prestige symbol. The garage, once a shed.out

and opportunities for mastery and control.

“We pet them just as we stroke dogs because both
provide the ii ion derived from inating objects
of affection.”

Apart from symbolism, the psychologists believe
driving causes physical impulses which, in turn, can lead
to a vareity of emotions.

Nerves react as the body accelerates, sending signals
through the spinal cord and increasing muscle tone,
which “vastly increases the body's state of arousal.”

The central nervous system translates this into
emotions. For some, it is fear; for others, “a flush of
emotions that sorne liken to orgasm.”

Discount brokers cost less

By SHAWN MeCARTHY
~ Canadian Press

So you've been studying the financial markets and think
you can probably do'as good a job at picking stocks as the
full-service broker you're paying hefty commissions to,

‘Well, you'can put your ability to the test with one of the
rapidly growitig discount brokerages, which advertise
commissions up to 85-per-cent less than a full-service broker.

But be warned: You need the experience, time and
inclination to manage your own portfolio. What you don't get
from a discounter — and what you pay a full-service broker
for —.is advice on what and when to buy and sell, based on

So what you save in commissions may be forfeited in
lost profits that an expert broker could help you gain, says
John Bart, a finance professor at the University of Windsor
and founder of the new Canadian Shareowners Association.

cent of the value of the deal. Green Line says its surveys
indicate that a full-service broker would charge $191 for such
an order — nearly two per cent of the value.

At Marathon Brown, an order of 1,000 shares that cost
$50 each would result in 4 commision of $100 — 0.2 per cent
of the value of the deal. The firm says the same order could
cost $553 at a full-service brokerage — about 1.1 per cent of
the value.

Most full-service brokers refuse to make their
public.

worth the additional benefits,” says Bart, whose
is an independent, non-profit group aimed at helping
investors and investment clubs improve their skills.

Discount brokers — virtually non-existent five years
ago — now represent from six to 10 per cent of the
multibillion-dollar market for trading securities in Canada.

In the United States, discounters represent about 25
per cent of the market and representatives of the industry
here say there's no reason why they shouldn't reach that
level in Canada.

‘The range of products vary. At the TD’s Green Line,
clients can only buy stocks and mutual funds, but it plans to
expand that to include bonds, other fixed-income invest-
ments, options and futures.

Marathon Brown and other discount houses already
offer the complete range.

SOME ADVICE

Livingston and Price note the discounters are obliged to
offer at least a minimum amount of advice under the rules of
the Ontario Securities Commission.

Under “know your client” rules, the brokers must have
on file what experience investors have and what their goals

are.

By TONY VAN ALPHEN ~

It’s never too early to
teach your children about the
right ways to handle money,
say financial advisers.

Kids can learn a lot from
little things like shopping
with mom and dad, living
within an allowance and
operating a newspaper route.

And since children invari-
ably copy their parents, it's
important to set a good
example.

“For instance, if you buy
on impulse, it creates a
wrong impression that you're
throwing money around and
you have a lot to spend,” says
Catherine Munro, a Toronto-
based financial planning con-
sultant.

COINS TO START

Educating your kids about
money can start at age four
or five. You can help them
establish the function of coins
by letting them spend small
amounts from time to time
when you go shopping.

As they get a little older,
encourage them to consider
the value and price of various
goods — give them an early

If your children collect
things like baseball or hockey
cards, they probably know a
little about trading and get-
ting good value. So when
you're trading in an appliance
or car, take them along and
explain what's going on.

FAMILY BUDGET

Financial counsellor Chris
Snyder, author of How to
Teach Your Children About
Money, says parents should
start involving their children
in things like household bud-
geting by the time they're 11
or 12.

“There's no need to get
into the size of the mortgage
or, for that matter, your
income,” says Snyder.

Figures of that kind won't
mean much to children until
they're well into their teens.
On the other hand, refusing
to say anything at all about
your finances because you
manage them badly is wrong,
experts say.

“The children will sense
what's going on, one way or
another, so they might as
well learn from your mis-

takes and help you turn over
a new beaf,” says Snyder.

Munro stresses that if you
teach your children budget-
ing, “they'll have the skill for
life.”

One of the most important
things parents should con-
sider is a child's allowance. A
regular allowance satisfies a
child’s emotional need for in-
dependence, says Snyder,
who conducted a survey of
450 children for his book.

Experts say if children are
given money whenever they
want it rather than an allow-
ance, they aren't learning to
deal with limitations.

“Kids value money more
when it’s theirs, not their
parents,” says Snyder. “Have
you ever watched a seven-
year-old deciding whether to
buy a chocolate bar or a
comic book? When it’s their
own allowance money at
stake, the choice may take
Juan half an hour.

“If it's change cadged off
Mom, it usually takes less
time because Juan knows
that particular supply is un-
limited and can be called
upon again.”
