Ontario Housing Talk Delayed
In a letter received from
the Regional Commissioner
of Planning and Develop-
ment with regard to the
Ontario Housing Action
Program, local
Municipalities are asked to
indicate whether they are
interested in this program,
and in what way the Region
could assist them.
The Pickering Executive
Committee this week
recommended that Council
should defer responding to
this letter for one month.
Mayor George Ashe pointed
out that there are two
meetings coming up shortly,
and that it would be

premature to respond to the
letter until these meetings
have taken place. Mayor
Ashe said that "the Housing
Action people have asked for
a date to be set for a
meeting.' "Also," he said,
"Oshawa is sponsoring a
meeting of heads of
Municipalities that have
been offered this program.
This meeting will come up in
two week's time, and the
intention is to discuss the
cost implications in given
municipalities."
Interest Rates Resolution
A resolution approved by
the City of Belleville con-
cerning the cost of borrowing
money was this week en-
dorsed by the Executive
Committee of Pickering
Council.

Region Approves
$36 Million
Current Budget
Although five members of
Regional Council sought to
strike the proposed 1974
Current Budget, it did
receive the support of the
other 25 Council members.
Councillor Des Newman of
Whitby, attacking the
Finance Committee for its
$36 million budget, which
during the course of debate
bad another $110,000 added
to it, said that it was the duty
of Council to cut down on
spending in a time or rising
costs.

money will come from it was

Lynx Ave
Dangerous
In a recent letter to the
Executive Committee of
Pickering's Council, Mr.
Allan Seamans raised the
_slue of a dangerous in-
:ersection at the corner of
Batory and Lynx Avenues in
�Pe West Shore area. Ac-
cording to Mr. Seamans
dere have been many cases
u near accidents at dills
.orner and, in his opinion, --it
:s Inevitable that someday
vorneone, or possibly several
people will be injured'. Mr.
-eamons recommended that
a Stop Sign, or at least a
field Sign should be in-
stalled at this location.
The Executive Committee,
after discussion, decided to
recommend to Council that a
Yield Sign should be in-
stalled at this intersection
and asked for a report from
the TownEngineering
Department on how this
should be implemented.
Use Privies
For A While
In a recent report from
Dave Bass, Pickering
Director of Recreation and
Transportation, it was
recommended that the sewer
line connection from the Bay
Ridges Kinsmen Park Field
should be postponed until
such time as the system can
be connected to the proposed
Sandy Beach Trunk Sewer.
Mayor George Asbe,
concurring with Dave Bass,
said that this would
represent a saving of several
thousands of dollars. It
would involve, he said, the
temporary use of Vnvvies'
until some time later on in
the summer.

shown that $11,356,000 will
come from a Regional Levy.
For the homeowner in
Durham this will mean an
average increase of 28
percent in taxes. However,
Finance Committee
Chairman George Ashe of
Pickering said that it would
be more fair to view this as
an increase since 1972, as in
1973 taxes were down pen-
ding Regional Government.
In addition to the Regional
Levy, it was shown that the
total of $36 million will be
made up of $5,023,000 in

Provincial Grants;
$11,473,000 in Provincial
Subsidies; $8,067,000 in User

It was also shown bow the
money will be spent.

S14,7e9,000 For ie
For 1974 the Regional
Durham Council has ap-
proved a Capital Budget of
$14,749,000. This amount
includes $1.564,000 for
projects proposed before the
inception of Regional
Government. The net Capita
Budget approved was
$12,072,000. A summary of
expenditures was given as
$10,082,000 for Sewer Ser-
vices; $2,409,000 for Water
Services; $710,000 for
Conservation Authorities;
$100,000 for Homes for the
Aged; and $W,000 for Police.
The total debenture
requirement of the budget
will be $11.1 million, of which
$3.6 million will be tax
supported. the balanee of
the debenture debt will be
financed from such sources
as local improvements,
reserves and charges to
service users.
Before the Capital Budget
was approved by a majority
in Council, Councillor John
Goodwin of Whitby suc-
cessfully moved $166,600
from the Current Budget to
the Capita Budget. This
amount was for Whitby
projects including $34,000 for
the Victoria Creek Pumping
Station, $26,000 for a new low
lift pump at the Water Plant,
$64,000 for municipal water
projects, and $61,000 for
municipal sanitary sewer
projects.
Council Rejects
Move To Cut Back
Four times Councillors Des Newman and Gerry Emm tried
to cut the Regional Public Works Department Staff when
considering the budget last week. And four times they went
down to defeat. A successful motion, not to allow any further
manpower cut proposals and to pass the works budget as
presented, was finally introduced by Councillor Jim Pot-
ticary of Oshawa.
Coiaciuor Newman's fust motion was to reduce the staff
by 60 people. He explained that this was not a cut in present
employees but only in proposed hirings. The Department
currently employs 283 people and proposes to hire another
120, bringing the total to 403. Councillor Newman's first
proposal was to cut the increase by 50 percent and save the
Region " million. However, Councillor Alan Dewar,
Chairman of the Public Works Committee, explained that the
hirings had already been approved and were the absolute
minimum required.
When Council did not support the cut of W people, Coun-
cillor Newman proposed a cut of only 10 percent, or 40 em-
ployees of the total proposed staff. Councillor Garnet
Rickard of Newcastle said 'If we do not take staff on here, we
will have to ask some of the local people to do Regional work.
This takes away from the Regional idea. Also, we must
remember that if we want to provide services then we must
have staff". This amendment was lost, as also was a further
proposed amendment to cut the staff by 37 — being deferred
vacancies pending budget approval. Councillor Rickard also
warned "We can gain public support by cutting, but by doing
so we are admitting we were not responsible before."
After the last unsuccessful motion to cut the staff by 25
employees, Councillor George Ashe of Pickering said '"Ibere
will be more of a crunch facing Council in 1975. Let's take our
lumps now and not postpone the inevitable."

Hockey Violence
An inquiry into hockey violence seems an ent way to
bring out into the open a growing activity which should be
banned. We don't mean "hockey" - we mean that strange
game which seems to allow two players to exert their
passansandphysical promessina man tomanpitched battle
on an ice surface.
The recent Philadelphia - Bo stn game was a typical
e xamp ieofh and to hand c cribat. a nd thes a neswas rescued
in the nick of time when the players finally began to play
Stanley Clip hockey.
unfortunately, many of our youngsters who ploy minor
hockey could be i niluenced by this NHL example to believe
that that is hockey.
We had thcaght t hit the Russia - Canada s eries h ad p roved

A Profession
Or Union
by Robert Nixon,
Ontario Liberal Leader
The teaching profession faces the most momentous decision
in its history - whether to emphasize the professional aspects
Early Morning Taxi
Four o'clock in the morning. Tuesday, early October. And
raining. I t has been raining for three days, a drizzle punc-
tuated only be brief surges of drumming on the roof of the
car.
You've long since ceased to notice that your headlights
illuminate nothing. You drive now by some mental radar,
moresubtlethansight Becauseyoucan'treallysee.
The drunks, indignant a nd reluctant, have all been ferried
home. The night people have completed their dark and
urgent errands, and it's quiet Because it's Tuesday, and
silent you thick. Along with the silence, there's something
about the rain. Maybe most suicides happen at four o'clock
on rainy Tuesday morning. (In a quiet rain, of course; a
thunderstorm is too threatening to die in. an fear keep a
person a Ave?)
The thought is broken by the crackle of the radia. The
dispatcher is talking to one of the cars downtown. I t must be
thef irst real soundyou've heard in twenty minutes. Sudde*
,the dispatcher erupts in a sharp burst of laughter, and you
e.
wish you'd heard the joke. At least he's alivThere'a dim
of teaching or to move toward certification under the Ontario
Labour Relations legislation and carry on its negotiations
with its employers, the various school boards, as a union. It is
obvious that both alternatives offer cocain advantages,
particularly when a militant response to unacceptable
government policies in the last few months have shown that
the government was forced to withdraw from those policies
since the 100,000 teaches in the province were wholly
committed and unified in their stand.
My own opinion is that the students, the teaches, and the
community at large would be best served if the teacher
moved to strengthen the professional aspects of their
responsibilities. This would require two specific decisions;
the first with the teachers, and the sexoed with the govern-
ment of the province.
To begin with, I fed that is is necessary for the various
affiliates representing secondary teachers, elementary
teachers. athdic teachers, the women public school
teachers and the men public school teachers to reinforce
even more than w the past their cooperative strength
through a single organization, the Ontario Teaches
Federa tion. This would not require the abandonment of the
.affiliates, but the recognition of a strengthened professional
aspect of teaching would corse about more quickly as far as
the community is cancerned. with the emphasis on the
teachers acting collectively and accepting the regulation and
control of their own overall organization, the Ontario
?adieus Federation.
The second change will require the Ministry of Education to
establish by statute an organization which will have the
power to regulate and discipline the tear' P a, and also have
the power to certificate them under the general structure of
the education statutes of the province.

rush of static, then silence again.
As if motion would bring theworid back to life, you pull out
into the street going somewhere. A forgotten tune plays in
your mind to the rhythm of the wipers. Another sound, cool
a nd hypnotic; the sound of your tires on the wet pavement,
like a distant surf. The sounds of solitude.
When you start thinking like this, it's time for a coffee, and
thedonut shop is on the next corner. The sudden rush to your
bladder, of all the coffee you've drunk this night,
assassinates the thought with a sharp finality, and you drive
past the oasis of light and noise. The agony will pass because
it always has, and with an odd perversity you know you
won't get out of the car for a while yet But you're certainly
awake now.
Asifheknew, the dispatcher calls your car number.
"Get the emergency door."
•'Right" J
Your thoughts change direction with the car as you thread
your way through the back streets to the next little in-
stalment on your destiny. The hospital. Obviously a bigger
instalment on someone else's destiny. You wonder what this
one is a Il a bout_
There is a pattern to hospital fares in the small hours. Your
passengers have usually done something very foolish and
they seem, more often than not, to live in low -rents I housing.
It's as if the more affluent arranged to do their dying or
break their bones, or take their overdoses during proper
business hours.
Sure enough, there's the police cruiser at the emergency
door, lights and engine off. It's a good bet that your fare
arrived in the cruiser. Whatwillitbethstime?
You reach over to open the back door, and the four of them
get into the cab; a boy and a girl about f if teen, and two adults
who must be the parents. The gir: is pale as death, and al
four seam to be in shock_
Thesilence hangs in the car like a heavy curtain, and it's no
time for conversation. A few seconds' pause at the next stop-
light, and you catch a glimpse of the girl in the rear-view
mirror. The pallor of her thin face is almost luminous, and
you wonder if you have everseen anyone so vulnerable.
A ten-minute ride, and you pull into the driveway of a solid
middle-class home in a neighbourhood that is just beginning
to show its age. Respectable, and somehow dusty -baking,
even in the rain. "A dollar eighty, please". You wish you
didn't have to break the silence.
As they start up the walk, the girl steadies herself hand-
over -hand against the side of the car. Then you notice that
both of her wrists are heavily bandaged. There can be only
one reason for that
You back out of the driveway slowly, as if any sudden
movement would shatter this fragile life the doctors have
refused to let her leave. What awful despair can drive a
fifteen -year-old kid to a thing like this? And why were you
wondering about suicide a half-hour ago?

year-round guide is

Plants have six basic needs,
light, soil, water, food,
proper temperature, and
air. If you can supply them,
your plants will flourish, but
ignore any one, and the
results can be disastrous.
"All garden plants need
light. But begonia will burn
up in direct sun, and a
tomato will refuse to fruit in
the shade," Mr. Bradshaw
says. The shade chart in the
Lawn and Garden Guide
shows where to put the
various plants.
"Your soil may be sand and
dry too fast Or heavy clay,
which gets waterlogged.
Now can you fix it?" Mr.
Bradshaw asks in the guide.
"Any sail can be improved at
once by adding humus (the
scientific name for rotted
organic matter). Humus can
be added as compost, peat -
moss, leaf -mold, composted
manure, discarded
mushroom manure. It opens
up clay soils, makes sandy
soil hold water.
"Compost is cheapest and
best You can make your
own.
"You should put a 2 -inch
thick layer of compost on ail
flower and vegetable beds
every spring without fail.
Mix it into the soil to a depth

"Your garden and lawn
should get a good thorough
soak once a week. Dant give
a daily sprinkle! Sprinkling
each day keeps roots near
the surface, and they quickly
get dried up or burned.
Water until the sod is moist
to a depth of 6". Check by
digging into soil with trowel.
"Most garden plants look
terrible in poor soil. Many
will die. The truth is, they
were bred to be fed'. Just as
farmers fertilize their crops
frequently, you should feed
your garden. Because - it
must be obvious - the food in
the soil gets used up. This
applied to vegetables, trees,
shrubs, flowers and lawns.
They all need feeding every
year.
"For vegetable gardens, I
recommend 'CIL Flower &
Vegetable Food' or `CIL
Grow -All'. 'CIL Flower &
Vegetable Food' is designed
for those who want a general
purpose fertilizer for flowers
and vegetables and 'CIL
Grow -All' is designed as a
general purpose fertilizer for
new lawns, as well as flower
and vegetable gardens.

"Lettuce hates the heat.
Corn hates the cold. So plant
lettuce and other cool -season
crops early so they grown
during the cooler weather.
Corn, melon and other
warm -season crops should
be planted when continuous
warm weather is in sight.
"Plants, like people, hate
stuffy stagnant air. So don't
crowd them together. Ask
your nurseryman how far to
space your plants apart. Soil
must be dug over so that air
mixes with it. Roots need air
too! By adding compost to
your soil, you help keep the

Balcony Gardeners . .1
6et Ready
Although apartment
dwellers are limited to the
size of their balconies for
flower and vegetable gar-
dens, with careful planning,
the right purchases and the
correct materials, these
small open spaces can be
turned into havens for
flowers and vegetables, said
John Hughes, horticulturist
with the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
A wide variety of hanging
baskets is available at
garden centers and garden
supply stores. These are
quite acceptable to grow
flowers or vegetables. Patio
pots make excellent con-
tainers for stake tomatoes,
beans and peppers. If you
are a handyman, you might
consider making wooden
window and porch boxes to
increase the amount of
space.
"One aspect of container
planting that gardeners
should
keep in mind is the im-
portance of a proper soil
mix," says Hughes. "Since
these containers hold only a
small amount of soil to
support the plants' growth
during the gardening seasom
it should be fertile and well -
drained." A coarse soil mix
with lots of peat moss is
ideal Fertilizer will have to
be applied on a more regular
basis. Liquid fertilizers can
be mixed with the water and
applied every other time
when the plants arewatered.
Garden fertilizer should be
side -dressed or sprinkled
around plants and raked
lightly into the soil.
Because of the relatively
small volume of sort that is
used containers can dry out
quickly. Crushed stone or
inverted pot shards should
cover the drainage holes in
hanging baskets and patio
pots. A new product called
Hydrogel can be in -
corpora ted into the soil mix
to reduce the need for
watering to about one-third
norma I requirements.
Checks should be made
frequently for insect and
disease problems, and plants
treated at once if necessary.
With a dva nee pla nning a nd
careful selection from the
wide variety of suitable
vegetables and flowering
plants, apartment dwellers
can turn their balconies into
relaxing, green areas this
summer.
Planting Time For Gladioli
"Mid -May until early June
is the ideal time for gladiolus
planting," says Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food horticulturist, Burke
McNeill. With proper timing
and correct planting
procedures, gladiolus
blooms will be ready :o
decorate your living room by
July.
Before planting, the
gladiolus corms should be
cleaned and dusted with
Sevinforthripcontrol Glads
grow well in most soils - even
heavy clay - but prefer a
sunny location. For best
results, the soil should be
worked to at least eight
inches prior to planting.
While glads may be grown
in borders, the most
satisfactory way to grow
them is in rows in the gar-
den. The corms should be
planted at row spacings of 12
to 18 inches apart and spaced
from tour to six incloes within
the rows. "Dig trenches six
inches deep and cover the
corms with two to three
inches of soil," advises
McNeill. "As the shoots
grow, the balance of the soil
can be pulled into the
trench..'
Fertilizer is not required in
most soils at the time of
planting, but a complete
fertilizer such as 7-7-7 could
be applied when the shoots
reach the fifth leaf stage.
Apply about one-half cupful
to every five feet of row.
Very easy to grow, the only
care glads usually require
during the summer months
is weeding.
House Sales Reach Record
House sales in Metropolitan
Toronto reached a record in
the first five months of this
year, according to a survey
by A.E. LePage Limited.
The Company reports that
20,125 properties were sold
for $848,334,853 in the
January -May period of this
year compared to 16,20B
residential transactions for
$547,849,290 in the similar
five months of 1973.
May was a record month
with 5,198 sales for
$234,404,611 against 3,942
residential deals for
$145,055,312 in May, 1973.
The average price of
properties sold in May this
year was $45,095 compared
to $36,797 in the similar
month of last year. In the
first five months of this year.
the avrage price was $42,153
compared to $33,801 in the
January -May period of 1973,
the A. E. LePage Limited
survey revealed.
The total number of
properties listed for sale last
month increased by ap-
proximately 20 percent,
which presents a better
balance between supply and
demand which may be
reflected in a levelling in
average prices.
It should be noted that the
number of newly completed
and unoccupied dwellings
across Canada is at the
lowest level in history, with
only 2,617 single, semi-
detached and duplex units
availabein March this year
compared to 4,239 vacant
new units in March 1913.
In the Toronto Metropolitan
Area there were only 138
newly completed unoccupied
dwellings in March this year
compared to 182 in March,
1973. The apartment
vacancy rate is virtually nil.

new softball season by beating Claremont All Stars by a
score of 24 to 5, in Claremont on Dominion Day.
On Tuesday May 219, our girls were host to Ajax All Stars
which was played in Brougham. Both teams made some
errors due to lack of practice caused by the wet weather we
had this month, but strong support from the spectators made
the difference and our girls pulled the game out by a score of
17 to 12.

Marching Concert Band .
Royals history dates back
to the 1920's when the
original band was
established in Scarborough
By the 19Ws there had been
many changes in name and
uniform.
In 1967 the Optimist Club of
Scarborough adopted the
group and assumed spon-
sorship of the band. It was
decided to include girls to
expand the membership.
In 1968 band director,
Douglas C. Ferguson
became director of the
Scarborough Optimist Brass
Ba nd. The group consisted of
some 20 youngsters, a few
miscellaneous instruments
and other rela bed equipment
The band participated in
several small local parades,
school fun fairs, little league
openings and travelled on
occasion to Woodbridge and
Uxbridge.
Frain 1968 to early 1973 the
organization went through a
period of adjustment.
Membership began to ex-
pand so rapidly that the
practice facilities were
inadequate.
In 1973, after consultation
with band parents, the
Optimist Club of Scar-

mportant possessmm
This is what Ontario is doing
to help you protect it.
nma
Most of us get sick or have an accident
at one time or another. And left to our
own resources, serious illness could
often cripple us financially.
So the government here in Ontario
has developed a plan to provide health
care for everybody, any time it's needed.
That plan is called Ontario Health
Insurance Plan— OHIP. (The "H"
stands for "Health, " not "Hospital.") The
Plan is administered by your Ontario
government for us, the people of the
province, who pay into it regularly so we
can benefit when we need it.
How does the Ontario Health
Insurance Plan work? Like this:
First, you apply for coverage —on a
"Group" basis where you work, or you
can pick up an application form at any
bank, hospital, or OHIP district office.
Next, you'll pay modest premiums to
cover yourself and your family towards
the time when health care is needed.
People on welfare, students, and
others whose incomes fall below a
certain level, are eligible for assistance
in paying their OHIP premiums. No one
is excluded for lack of money, but you
must apply for such premium assistance.
Benefits include: physicians' services
- standard ward hospital accommoda-
tion • X-rays - laboratory tests - drugs
required in hospital a operating and
delivery rooms a radiotherapy -
chiropractic, osteopathic, and chiropo-
dist services - eye examinations -
occupational therapy a physiotherapy
speech therapy • nursing and medical
care in nursing homes and homes for
the aged - Home Care service -
ambulance • certain dental surgery.
Payments may cover costs entirely or
only in part, depending on the nature of
the claim.
But remember: Membership in the
Ontario Health Insurance Pian is not
automatic — you have to apply for it.
And be sure to carry your identification
card or OHIP number at all times.
If you would like more information,
visit any OHIP district office. Or write to:

Wants Debate
To The Editor:
The May 15th issue of the News Advertiser carried a lead
editorial stating that it would be supporting the Progressive
Conservative candidate in the forthcoming federal election.
My inunefttre reaction was "So What Else is New." I con-
sider
oo-sider the statment to be a partisan opinion rather than a
position taken after careful consideration of the issues as
they affect the needs of the Canadian people. A newspaper
has in its handsan influential tool that requires it to be most
vigilant about expression of opinion I have serious doubts
about the intellectual integrity governing the statement 1
fed compelled therefore to change this newspaper. I would
like to have the newspaper's reasons for supporting the
Conservative party more specifically. I would like to enter
into a debate with you in the following manner. We would
each prepare statements, apps^tlecimately 500 words, on the
following issues.
1. - Inflation, cost of living and housing
2. - Management and labour dispute and the strike weapon
3. - Foreign ova ership
4. - Unemployment insurance and welfare
5. - rebutta 1
Your statement and mine could be carried simultaneously
in consecutive issues of the paper. Readers could be invited
to submit opinions.
I feel this debate could lead to some stimulating political
discussion. I await with interest tosee if you are willing to
present your reasoning to public scrutiny.
Yours s incerely,
Alban C. Ward,
Vice -President
On tarioSouth Riding,
New Democratic Pa rty.

TODAY'S HEALTH
Lice an for that
lousy feeling!
by David Woods
Next time you tell your doctor
you feel lorry he may take you at
your word, and start examining
your scalp.
Health workers are encountering
Increasing numbers of people with
head lice infestation — a condition
they call pediculosis. Durham Re-
gional Health Unit dealt with 1,300
cases in the past year, mainly
among School -children.
Children are especially suscep-
tible to pediculosis because they're
herded together more than adults,
and it's a highly contagious prob-
lem. But it doesn't tarry the threat
of disease — and it has nothing to
do with dirt. If you're in contact
with pediculosis, chances are you'll
get it. Unless you're bald.
Parents of the child with lice
often react indignantly. Somehow
they think the condition is a reflec-
tion of standards of hygiene in the
home. In fact, there's very little
they an contribute to cause or cure.
But they can learn to recognize the
condition, to report it — and to
co-operate with the health team.
The nits (eggs) are whitish, oval-
shaped and tiny. They cling to the
hair shafts; unlike dandruff, they
keep on clinging. That's why the
person with lice needs medical help.
The nit iatcbes in about a week,
and the resulting louse lives for
about a mondL He (or she) is about
one sixth of as inch long.
Obviously, it's important not to
delay treatment. This consists of
applying special shampoos, us -s a
very fine-toothed comb, and rinsing
the hair in a water and vinegar
solation.
Thurs. May 30th, 1974 THE POST Page 9
Treatment must be thorough to
avoid the possibility of reinfesta-
tion. If someone in the family
is found to have pediculosis, all
bedding, brushes and combs, mat-
tresses, pillows, and clothing (par-
ticularly headgear) should be care-
fully cleaned for family protection.
Nobody knows why the incidence
of head lice is increasing, although
some researchers suggest that pedi-
culosis occurs in cycles — once
every few years.
The louse is more an irritation
than a health hazard. Not only does
it take an hour br so to treat an
affected person, but the risk of con-
tagion to health workers or family
is very high.
So while the lice do no actual
harm, they're a nuisance, a source
of embarrassment — and they're
socially unacceptable. Or, at least,
the people who have them are.
The important thing is to recog-
nize them, and this takes careful
scrutiny because of the similarity
of the nits to dandruff. But if you
see or suspect their presence, accept
that this is a curable health prob-
lem that should receive immediate
professional attention — not least
because the longer you wait, the
more likely it is that the problem
will be passed on to others.
Pediculosis is one condition
where you really do have to start
from scratch.

Crabgrass—that tenacious little weed—threatens a population explo-

last year gaily tossed o$ about 1,000 seeds to harass and embarrass that

Potato Eyes
Many gardeners will depend
on potato eyes to give them
a fresh start in potato growing
again this spring. Others will
use potato eyes for the first
time this year, and they will
have the surprise of favourable
results. -
For the gardener wishing to
grow a few rows of potatoes
for home use or to compare
a few varieties, potato eyes
are a practical source of seeds.
Potatoes fresh from one's own
soil always seem to taste bet-
ter, besides which. fresh. early
potatoes are relatively high in
ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).
Freshly harvested new pota-
toes are the gourmets delight
—they have a flavour all their
own. I like the taste of fresh,
home grown new potatoes.
They do taste better.
Potato eyes are supplied
only by approved seed firms
whose chief business is selling
seeds. The shipper certifies the
quality of the product and
each package has the official
label of the Department of
Agriculture attached.
Potato eyes do better when
they are planted in rows about
20 feet long and to a depth of
three inches (hilled). A sandy
soil produces the best results
—and a side dressing with
Pink Vigoro will feed them
well when tops appear. They'll
have to be sprayed for insect
control, but there are many
good potato dusts available at
the seed house where you pur-
chased the "eyes".

Seat Belt Legislation?
In 1972, according to statistics, 97,000 people were involved
in traffic accidents in Ontario. Of these, 2,000 men, women
and children have died. That is equivalent to the population
of Cannington, Rama and almost half the papulation of the
Village of Pickering — being completely wiped out.
Research studies have found that token usage of lap and
shoulder belts would reduce traffic fatalities by half. Think of
it! One thousands people would be alive today in this
province had they been wearing their seatbelts.
Legislation is being considered to make the wearing of seat
belts compulsory by law. It is a controversial proposal. One
that some people say involves invasion of privacy and in-
terference with personal freedoms. They feel it should be
their option to gamble injuries in a crash.
The logic behind this argument is simply faulty. Highways
built with the taxpayers' money are public property. The
government, to protect the best interests of the people has the
authority and duty to see that these public highways are safe
for everyone.
Once a person sits behind the wheel of a car he has the
responsibility of driving with due regard for the safety of
others. If he is wearing a seat belt during emergency
maneuvers he will remain behind the wheel and thus, have
some control over the car. Therefore, being less of a danger
to pedestrians and other road users. Most importantly
though, is that people needlessly killed or injured impose
unnecessary burdens on many public institutions — hospitals,
police and rue departments to name a few. In many cases
extra burdens are placed on the family, in some cases per-
manent burdens.
Being absent from work for any period of time imposes
additional burdens to your fellow employees. All car owners
share the cost through higher insurance rates. Welfare costs
increase.
The point is that it is simply untrue to say non -weaning of a
seat belt is an individual's right affecting no one but himself.
Mather argument concerning seat belts is that they can
trap the occupant in a burning or submerged car. The
statistics show no basis for this fear. Less than one percent of
all serious accidents are followed by fire or submersion.
Furthermore, the risk of entrapment inside a burning car is
directly related to the degree of injury suffered by the oc-
cupant. A belted occupant is far more likely to remain
conscious and thus able to make a speedy escape from the
car. The sa me case can be made for submersion. I n Ontario
during 1972 not one belted driver died as a result of being
tapped in a burning car.
And with the seat belt legislation there is at least one very
important precedent — Australia. If we achieved a similar
level of safety belt usage in Ontario to that existing in
Australia, vehicle occupant fatalities and injuries would
decrease by 59%. The direct annual savings in medical and
death casts that would result from this decrease would be
approximately $59 million.
Many countries have followed Australia's example. New
Zealand, France, Spam, Israel, Czechoslovakia and many
other western European countries now have laws enforcing
the wearing of seat belts. At least 22 U.S. States are currently
considering similar legislation.
All of these countries have indicated that enforcement of the
law has not been a problem. Most people are, by nature, law-
abiding. Of a random sample of roughly 950 Ontario drivers,
82 percent said they would obey a law requiring the wearing
of lap and shoulder belts.
If such a law were to be enforced in Ontario, I feel programs
providing public information should be mounted with the aim
of making people aware of the traffic safety problem. There
are 3 million passenger cars in Ontario and in 1972 the death
rate increased by 9.3 percent.
Please fasten your safety belts. It is a small price to pay for
your life.
