The answer given is the Honourable Donald Irvine, Minister of Hous- ing. This statement is in- correct. The only people who can stop the build- ing of high rise apart- ments on the proposed site are the coun cil of the Town of Whitby, the people who zoned the property for high rise apartments in the first place. The council can do this in three ways: 1 . Refuse to issue a building permit. 2. Amend the plan of subdivision. 3. Expropriate the site for civic purposes. Ail th ree of these actions could result in court proceedings. Mayor. Newman stated to a delegation from West Lynde Subdivision that the Town had made a mistake and he received praise from a local week- ly for saying so. Having madle the mis- take the people who made it should correct it and flot blamne the Mini- ster of Housing for doing his job which is to pro- vide housing for people who need it at a cost which they can afford. Thank you for your kindness in printing this letter. Yours truly, John R. Frost 501 Dundas ST. W. Whitby, Ontario Ref ined flour and su-gar are -harrnful Dear Sir; There is an old saying that one does not con- vert the opponents of a truth. One waits for them to die, and a newv generation to grow up acquainted with the truth from the beginning. So says Dr. Carlton Fred- ericks, a leading U.S. nutritionist. Baha is grateful Dear Sir; I am instructed by the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Whithy to write and thank you very sincerely for the amount of news coverage you have -given to our Faith in the last little while.

Yours truly, CM. Cole, Secretary S.A. Baha'ls of Whitby. The harm inf licted by white flour and refined sugar has finally been recognized by the power- fui ""Journal of the American Medical Assoc- ication". A recent JAMA article gave a blist- ering indictment of re- fined white flour and sugar as contributing to heart and gaîl bladder disease, appendicitis, diverticulosis, clotting of the deep veins, hiatal hernia, and cancer of the large intestine. On Heart disease the JAMA article remarked "Evidence is accumulat- ing that shows the ren-oval of fiber (such as bran is removed f romi white flour) from the diet raises cholesterol levels, a process that predisposes to coronary heart disease"'. (D.P. Burkitt M.D.) ln another article, "Prevention Magazine", (1,500,000 circulation) reports 1"paradoxically those nutrients for which bread is potentially a crucial, even unique source, are removed in the milling of white flour from wheat. Fibre, -pyridozine (B-6> and the essential fatty acids in wheat germ (source of vitamin E) are al remnoved and yet very few, if any, widely con- sumed foods can provide thesý. nutrients in conm- parable quantities". (B-6 is of ten deficient in women taking the pilI) Researcher and author Dr. Erwin Di Cyan states that flour is high in cad- mium, a poisonous mi- cronutrient believed to increase high blood pres- sure and heart disease. (from book "Vitamins in Your Life" - Simon and Schuster 1974). During the past twvo decades when per capita income doubled, the national expenditure on fruits and vegetables feli 50 per cent. Snack foods went up 80 percent; soft drinks up 80 percent; cakes and pasteries up 70 percent; fast foods up 100 percent. FACT: More th an 2,500,000 Canadians of ail ages have some form of heart and blood vessel ailment. More than haîf of aIl deaths each year are due to heart disease (25 percent among people 45 to 64 years according to the Cana- dian Heart Foundation. More than 76,000 people die of heart disease in Canada each year. FAÂCT: Gall bladder operations have doubled to some 35,000 each year in Ontario alone at a cost of $100 million. Ontario will spend $3 billion on health care this year. Doctors want more money and may bill patients over anc1 rwrete: p. ~L~P w' lette rs box 206 whit.by above what the Ontario Health Plan already ppys. FACT: Chîldren can benefit most of aIl if they are trained from the start in eating and living patternis, says the Ontar- io Heart Fou ndation. Next time you reach for white bread, pastries and sugar-filled foods or soft drinks, you may be inviting a fatal heart attack, arthritis or sur- gery for appendicitis or gal bladder, or some form of cancer. Noted Canadian researcher and biochemist, Dr. Abram Hoffer flatly states that white flour and refined sugar do more damage to health then ail the smok- ing and alcohol corn- bined. An ounce of preven- tion is worth a pound of cu re! Yours for better health Dean J.
