PAGE 8,WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13,1974, WHITBY FREE PRESS a - à KALNINS ON...0 l Canada's Success Magazine Every hot-blooded male, 1 presumne, by now must be familiar witb a magazine called Success which is published in Toronto by Jack Watll. The naine of the publisher may not mean anything to you, but the mag's naine certainly should ring a bell. Unofficialîy, it is the Canadian answer to the A merican counterparts - Playboy and Penthouse magazines., Like most men's magazines which cater to the sophisticated maie audiences i North America, the Success magazine features nude photographs, risque jokes and' sexual fantasies in story form. The materiai I1 saw i the last edition, now available on aIl news stands, is, to say the least, less than satisfactory. lTe pictures appear'to be "wa shed-out" somewhat, either by the photographers who took them, or the printers who tried to reproduce them. In either case, they look very pale and down-right ameteur- ish. Then, there is the usual phoniness that accompanies the nude photograplis, taken most ikely by maie chauvin- ist pigs. The end result becomne§a big bore and a big laugh. And, as far as the stories go, thfe7' also appear to show the Iess realistic aspect of our everyday life. A reader is asked to consume a lot of garbage about people he bas neyer heard of before. One is temptedl to ask "Are there any interesting Canadians to write about?" In my opinion, there are none. The citoons, 1 must say, fare a little better. Here and there one gets a chuckle out of a funny situation. Well, this is basically what you wiII find in the Success magazine. 'ne other day Alan Dickson, alias 'Simon Ford', app- roached me for photographs. 1I have a job for you", he said. "I need some pictures of Jack Wall". It also turned out that he needed pictures of a guy who's about to sue the Success publisher for $80,000. So, we first stopped at a poor man's place for his version of Success magazine. As expected, bis story was ail gloom and doom. He showed us a number of NSF cheques, presumnably made out by the Big Man himself - Jack Wall. Then, we dashed to Jack WalI's penthouse apartment in the Hyatt-Regency Towers Hotel. Needless to say, Jack was a bit surprised to see us at the door but lie let us in. While Alan started firing questions about the NSF cheques, 1 had pîenty of time to browse around. 1 came across a half-empty bar, a numnber of girly magazines, a cold coffee pot and some not-too-interesting etchings. Despite the wal-to-wall carpeting and black leather chairs, the place generated a cold and impersonai atmosphere. The mani himnself was dressed casuaily and Iooked a bit tired. Perhaps, 1 thought, it is a price of Success one bas to pay for'being a high-wire publisher. 1 started taking some pictures and in about 10 minutes my job was complet- ed. But, Alan stayed bebind with bis bag of questions - unpleasant as they appeared to be. Later on, 1 was told, the self-appointed publisher stuck to bis original story that Success is and always wilI be' a Success. Oh, yes, there is a "temporary problem", according to Jack, but this will be settied in a jiffy. My $80,000 question stili remains: How "temporary" is the problem of Success magazine? For one, we can do without Success magazine for some time to corne. Who needs Success? West Lynde Community Assocatio The West Lynde Comnm- unity Association bas taken the first steps toward the election of its first Executive. At its General Meeting of January 17, the Association appointed a Nominating Co- mmittee and instructed the Committee to make arrange- ments to hoîd an election in late March. The Nominating Comm- ittee has held its first meet- ing, and issued its first bulle- tin announcing the- slate of officers, to be elected and inviting candidates to corne forward. -Sandy Macmnillan, speak-, ing on behaif of the Nommna- ting Committee said "We hope over the next six weeks to encourage as many cand- idates as possible. We plan on holding a series of inter- views with ail our candidates; and by issuing a series of election bulletins, we will publicize their candidacy." The Committee is also considering the use of Cable T.V. to hold an all-candidates meeting in order to reacli as many 'of their members as possible. Mrs. Macmillan said "We expect a visible and vigourous election campaign. We feel that by doing so we can em- phasiz e participation and i- volvemnent in our Community Association because partici- pation and involvemnent are. vital to a successful associ- ation."

Response t ai question- naire the Ministry sent out illuis- traites that among 129,884 children entering school at ages four, five or six in Septenîber 1972, protection levels against diseases such as mea- sles, diphtheriaî and polio were sur- prisingly low. 0f aIl the children entering school, only 58.6 per cent had received measles shots.

However, about 75 per cent of children entered school with protection against diph- theriai, pertussis (whooping cough), rjetanus and polio.

In fact, there's no reason why you-and your children-shouldn't entist the help of medical science to suive off these diseases forever. And immnunizmrion is very clearly the responsibility of the individua.il ,ind of the famnily physician in his role as advisor, not of the schools or other social institutions.
