PAGE Lets keep the lakeshore for recreational purposes There is point at which the desire for industrial assessment in city becomes counterproductive Last week at meeting of the city recreation advisory committee Florence Steele member suggested the commit to do something to preserve wat tee try erfront land for recreation Jumping quickly on that was Ald Er nie Rotman Redevelopment of the lakeshore area is out of the committees league quoth Aid Rotman Most of the land is already slated for light industry or commercial use and the city wants to attract more If the land is available the city w0uld be foolish to tie this up in any type of recreational use he said We hope Ald Rotmans thoughts are not official city policy 20 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner March 10 1956 Dat tle began

register 61 some an ever carried out in this coun try The Ocean Dumping Control Act went into effect in Decem ber and Canada was about the 16th country to sign the agree ment Dozens more are ex pected to sign this year It requires that all ocean dumping from ships or aircraft be controlled through federal permit system Permits will not be granted to dump substances known to cause harm to the marine environment such as mercury plastics oils and highly radioactive material Penalties for dumping without permit may range as high as $100000 The research here will load to recommendations that some sites be moved some retained and some allowed to continue only under certain conditions This site was chosen because it is used most frequently in BC although there are 30 to 40 scat tered along the coast MATERIAL PLENTIFUL The dump is circle two miles in diameter An estimated 250000 to 500000 cubic yards of material has been located so far The final total might be much higher Whats there Construction foundation diggings scrap lron bed springs con crete pillars with reinforcing rods cable televiSion wires rusting steel bands bricks and boulders So far we havent found car body but we expect to said Mr Hoos Theres even garbage dump from land down there be cause when Falsc Creek in Vancouver was dredged out to build marina garbage dump was shovelled up and brought out here Weve even found hu man teet clay tile and nails When the biologists sent the Pisces down into the area they found out why area fishermen had complained of torn nets The dumpers are untidy There is junk scattered for miles outside the dump area BIBLE THOUGHT And they of the circumcis Ion which believed were aston ished as many as came with Peter because that on the Gen tllcs also was pourdd out the gift of the 11on Ghost For they heard thcm speak with tongu es and magnify God Acts 1045 46 The same convincing eviden ce that assured the early church of what had happened to these people is once again making its appearance in multitude of Christians today and the majority of larger ob jects have missed the target AREA UNMARKED Captain Robin Jones skipper of the Pandora explained it is difficult to find the dump target because although it is marked on nautical charts there is no marker on the ocean itself Sometimes these guys who come out here to dump are lazy But sometimes its dark and the skipper has his hands full with scows behind him and lots of traffic and he also has to watch his radar Mr Hoos said initial research indicates that larger marine life such as shrimps and rock fish actually like the dump be cause it provides sort of arti ficial reef for them But its not so good for things like ground worms Tests of the sludge for chem icals indicated nothing except good old mud and Mr lloos is determined to find out if the chemicals ended up in the food chain organisms So another branch of Environment Canada oceanaquatic sciences will carry out more tests on the dis persal of dredge spoil next month In the meantime the scien lists are filming from the inside of the Pisces With visibility up to 12 feet because the ocean is clearest in winter when the alo gas have died they have photo graphed the eerie littered seabed in startling detail By the time the research is finished later this spring the scientists will have 7000 feet of film 30 hours of videotape and more than 300 photos Then will come the months of analysis Political veteran dies of influenza WASHINGTON AP Rep resentative Wright Patmon dean of the United States House of Representatives who spent

GUESS THEY HAVENT QUEENS PARK 235 HEARD ABOUT MY NEW SOCIETY Health insurance rates are likely to increase By DON OIIEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO We will be seeing tax increases in Ontario this year short time ago Darcy Iicheough speech said that if he had to raise taxes this year the new revenue would be applied to debt This was all the signal needed to tell us that tax increases are on the way No treasurer likes to have to increaSe taxes And he doesnt even mouth wucd about them mcs they are inevitable Excn thug it will probably be an election next year we can assume hat b005ts are on the way Naturally the prospect of in creases leads to conjecture as to just where they may hit And the most logical area would seem to be in health in surance premiums It

election Human cell much more complex surface has extraordinary structure By BRIAN SULLIVAN NEW YORK AP The hu man cell the very stuff of life is being shown in new basic rc scarcb to be remarkably more complex thing than ever believed Until now the cell has been seen as jellylike mass of cytoplasm surrounding nu cleus containing the genetic ma terial the chromosomes and as smooth and round object All living things all plants and animals are made up of cells from simple singlecell or ganisms to higherorder plants and animals like man made up of literally billions of coils Now cell biologists are finding that the surface of the cell has an extraordinary architecture or structure and that its func tions are marvelously detailed and subject to control If the surface of the cell were the skin of balloon and the air inside the rest of the cell the new findings would be like dis covering that the skin of the balloon is made up of highly or ganized smaller structures with elaborate functions An enormous resurgence of activity has taken place in cell biology in the last few years says molecular biologist In perhaps five years some scientists believe the research ers may be able to take the cell apart and reconstruct it un derstand how it works In five years we may have solved the fundamental problem of how the surface of the cell controls some of its most im portant functions says Dr Gerald lidclman 1972 Nobel Prize winner from Roekcfcllcr University in New York and recognized leader in roll rc search Such an understanding of how cells work might be fundamen tal to controlling cancer Says Dr Lewis Thomas president of Memorial SloanKettering Con trc Underlying mccliauisim have not yet been glimpsed plainly by anyone but there is general atmosphere of quiet elation in the cell biology com munity with conviction that the neoplastic canceroust ccl now is an approachable prob lem it is not the impenetrable puzzle that it seemed just low CANADAS STORY

to foil cell what to do to tell cell to sit down to tell retinal cell not to go roaring off lulu lung and kill In the newest cell biology work to cite just one portion of it there now is some indication that cell may be controlled in part by protein molecules asso ciated with the surface in what has been called the Surface Modulating Assembly or SMA There is experimental evi dcncc that the surface mom brnnc of the cell is fluid structure on which and in which surface proteins may move and diffuse like ice skat ers on the surface of rink or corks in the sea AN 111 STIMULATEI lbcsc corks

Columbia accepted also are under systematic con trol by assemblies of protein molecules just below the sur face by the SMA The protein structures are called micro tubulos and microfilamonts Some or these components of the SMA may in fact control the signals for cells to divide The idea is supported by the fact that the process can be stimulated and then stopped in the laboratory by adding chemical which binds and stops the corklike surface move ment just as though giant magnet below the ice rink had locked all the skaters in place The chemical used to block the process derived from the jack bean plant It is known as Von Dr Edclman cautions that the new theory of cell surface control is indeed only theory so far and great deal remains to be proven or disprovcn RESULTS PROMISING Nevertheless the ex perimental results provide at least some experimental basis for the notion that the cell sur face must be looked on as more than just membrane for ac tive and passive transport he says There is some promise that within the next decade we will understand the regulation of some of the most fundamental cellular procescs by studying the molecular structure of the cell surface This

classic case of incon sistency The government chose to ig nore the fundamental difference between gain you mizh make when you risk your savings in investment as opposed to the assured income from em
