WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1974, PAGE 3 Pryce - Jones Im pressed By Whilýtby) Wtitby -Arts Incorporated "demonstrates very clearly that it understands its re- sponsibility to the commun- ity and fulfilîs it with great competence," Hugh Pryce- Jones, director of develop- ment of the Art Gallery of Ontario, told a Station Gall- ery audience Friday nîght at the opening of an exhibi- tion by Canadian artist John Gould. Mr. Pryce-Jones compli- mented the gallery, which opened in 1970, cn the broad base of its membership and appeal. It demonstrated "a real sense of commitment to the people living around you.- 'You are most fortunate," he said, "in your coordinator. I know how dedicated she is to the task of trying to cover the whole spetrumn of creative effort for the benefit of Whitby and district people of every age." Later he said: "We somne- times envy the kind of flex- ibility you have here - the fact that you can involve yourselves in s0 many differ- ent kinds of creative work." Mr. Pryce-Jones pointed out that the Gould exhibition Arts was part of the Art Gallery' of Ontario's extension pro- gram - one of nearly 60 exhibitions appearing in mare than 100 Onitario centres this year. They are seen by an çstimatéd two million Ont- arians living outside of Metro Toronto. "You will realize from. this," Mr. Pryce-Jones said, "that, in terms of' activity, what you sce at the Art Gallery in, Toronto is only the tip of the iceberg sa far as the Gallery's total effort throughout Ontario is- concerned." 1He reported that the great- ly enlarged Art Gallery of Ontario will reopen in Sept- ember with a major exhibition of Canadian art, including the Band, MeLean and Dun- can collections; the $ 1 5 mill- ion gift of sculpture and graphies from famed British sculptor Henry Moore; and the Zacks collection of 500 wo»rks of 2Oth Century art. The Gould show at the Station Gallery continues un- tii Aprîl 2lst. There will be a John Gould Film Festival ait the GaîIlery on Friday, April l9th. National Symbol For Metric Conversion A distinctive "M\" and stylized maple leaf form the national symbol - for met rie conversion in Canada. The new symbol - soon to be seen on goods and products produced in metrie units- was unveiled here Wednesday, March 6, by Metric Commission Chairman S.M. Gossage. Use of the symbol by organizations in ail sectors of the economy to identify metrie' materials, supplies, publications and products, will mark Canada'% adoption of the International System of Units, or SI for short, the formn of metrie measurement Canada will use. Although the symbol is registered under the Trade Marks Act 'with. the Metrie Commission as its owner, it may be used free of charge by all organizations produc- ing met rie Canadian products. The symbol is designed to bring attention to the metrie aspects of the design, produc- tion or use of any item or service. It can be used ta highlight a private or public organization's progressive im- age, backing up a "'metrie first" theme in advertising. It symbolizes too an! organiz- ation's innovative leadership in the national process of me trie conversion. Whether used on products .or in displays, the symbol signifies that where metrie units and symbols are used, they are in accordancej with the National Standards of Canada: the International System of Units (SI) andthe Metric Practice Guide. Usually shown in red. the symbol can also be reproduc- cd in variations of red, in black, or in white on a red background. Its format lends itself ta a wide variety of- means of reproduction. The potential uses of the symbol caver the products of almost every sector of the Canadian economy. it can be applied to a pen as easly as ta a plywood panel, ta industrial products as cas- ly as ta packagd- consumner goods. The symbol was designed by Gottschalk and Ash Ltd., of Toronto and Montreal. TODAY'S HEALTH Consum ers Concerned about food additives by David Woods Space travel, pollution and the TV dinner aire ail producis of mod- ern technology. More and more people aire asking where. that technology is leading us - especially where food is con- cerned. 0f course we can't simply turn back the dlock and retuiîn to a rus- tic past where main sustained himself an 'anc acre and a cow'. Nor can we find a solution in the so-called natural foods - organically-grown vegettables, for example - because there aren't enough of them ta go araund. But you're entitied bo know' what goes into the food you buy. or what's been removed from it. And how much of the tampering with food is necessary or nutritional. Let's say right away thtit most of the processing is Jane for a gaod purpose. The technology that gave us canning and freezing, sa we don't have ta be constantiy hauling arotind sacks fuil of gralceries, has Jane uis a faivor. Similarly, the ehemnical additives that preserve food are obviously helpful. Jams without benzoic acid, for instance, would quickly go mouldy. Other chemicals aýre used ta stop fats becoming rancid, Ia im- prove taste and texture, and to con- trai bacteria. Nluch of the bread we Inîy tnder- goes a variety of chemical manipu- lations: flour is rnilled, then l'le Paul Alexander Clinie in co-operatioli with tle Whitby Library and the Whi- tby YMCA is ot'Ièring a Fànm- ily Life Series.

Nutritionists advise avoiding foods like synthetic snacks, artificial creamers, fruit d rinks with no fruit in them - and non-enriched cereals with perhaps Iess nutrient value than the cardboard packages they corne in. They aiso suggest taking a littie more time: balancing diet between the convenience foods and thase that need more work but provide more nutrition. For instance, cooking rice f rom scratch rather than buying it in a package is flot only less expensive - it*s better for you. As world food supplies become scarcer, the trend is ta more rather than less technology being brought ta bear on what we eat. And even ta the development of more totally synthetic foods. Knowing what's, in your food is the first step; bâlancing diet between, conveniencet and nutritional values is the second. And. if technology makes this harder ta do - youi can always grow your own tornatoes. One nutritionist 1 know grows them in her apartrnent.

But with bread, as with other foods, the manufacturer gives us pretty much what we want. We want bread that stays fresh longer - so that's what the baker gives us. Most manipulation of food has ta do with convenience, hygiene, and preservation and starage.
