ANDREWS WASHINGTON Reuter The United States Navy has Opened an engineering school for senior officers who it has been found dont know their way around ships boiler room Recent congressional testi mony attributed poor mainte nance and readiness of many ships in the fleet to the lack of engineering experience of sen ior naval officers The first class of admirals and captains assigned to major ship commands has begun in the navys propulsion training facility in Idaho Parts of the threemonth course also will be held in the navy shipyard in Pu get Sound Washington Admiral Hyman Rickover the father of the nuclear sub marine recently told the House armed services committee that only about 15 per cent of the navys ship commanders had engineering experience The outspoken admiral said it has been vogue in the navy since the end of the Second World War to avoid lessglam orous ship engineering duty and at the same time seek graduate education and advanced de grees in political science and international relations LACK KNOWHOW How then can you expect the captain of ship or his su periors to make critical in ection of his engineering ant identify deficient condi tions and evaluate recommen dations from subordinates the admiral asked the com mittee He said many officers believe graduate de recs in nonengi neering fiel will help them get jo when they leave the navy But doubt they will The admiral said the initial class of about 25 students will be given an improved capacility to inspect manage and upgrade ships under their command By GEORGE McCAGUE MP DufferinSimcoe Many of you knew our former member of the Legislature Rev Wally Downer not only as our official represen tative at Queens Park but on personal basis But how many of you know just how much be contributed to the Ontario Legislature First elected for Dufferin Simcoe in 1937 Wally was re elected in 1943 despite the fact thathe was serving overseas as chaplain in the Canadian Ar my While in the Army he was based in North Africa Italy and Newfoundland By 1945 he had returned to Canada and was reelected receiving majority in every polling division He never looked back KAY POSTS In the Legislature Wally held several key posts For five years from 1955 to 1960 he was Speaker of the House position which requires great amount of patience and thorough knowledge of parliamentary procedure It is never easy to gain the respect of all the mem ers when you are in this position yet one indication of Just how everyone did think of him was the gesture made by the Legislature Press Gallery In 1959 Wally received an honourary life membership in the gallery the first time in history foraS aker In 1960 We Iy was appointed commissioner with the Liquor Control Board of Ontario position he held until April 1976 As you can see Wally led long and colorful political career Colleagues from across the province often approached Vaccines for influenza is tapic at Goldwater By SHIRLEY JENNETT COLDWATER large number of interested persons were in attendance at Cold water Senior Citizens River side Centre when Dr Brown spoke on the topic In fluenza The speaker was arranged for and welcomed by treasurer Elsie Rhines Dr Brown began his address with an explanation of what virus is and stated that the first epidemic of in fluenza was recorded in 1510 and 31 large scale epidemics have since occurred He related that there are types of in fluenzas Group which is the most potent and tends to develop mutations or undergo genetic changes and form new viruses one of which was the Asiatic or Hong Kong Flu of 1957 Group causes slight illness attacks mainly young people and those in institutions and is not killer Zeroing in on the predicted epidemic of Swine Influenza ex pected to be prevalent this Fall Dr Brown referred to the 1918 20 outbreak when 50000 people in Canada died from virus the same or very akin to the one expected to arrive later this year However he cautioned that many died of com plications such as bacterial pneumonia which patients con tacted easily once their bodys natural defences were weakened Drugs equipment and medical knowledge were far inferior to that of today He also wondered if the current stories coming out of the US were not being blown slightly out of proportion Vaccines to combat Swine Flu are being developed in Canada but most will come from the US and will arrive in our area in November Those 65 years of age and over also the chronically ill or those who suf fer from heart or kidney By BEULAH TOMPKINS Mr and Mrs Murray McDonald and girls of Lon don spent the

Swine Victoria Vac cine while those in the 20 to 50 year age group will be in noculated with Swine Vac cme At this point children under 20 are not scheduled for an im munization program since it is the feeling of medical per sonnet they will not devlop the disease seriously enough to warrant it Pregnant women particularly those in their final trimester should receive the vaccine Dr Brown felt that the guidelines extended and anyone would be able to get an innoculation The vaccine which is effective for minimum of year and maximum of will be delivered to the Municipal Health Departments and local Health Units who will un doubtedly set up clinics for im munization The vaccine is made by in jecting the virus into fertile chick eggs at certain stage of development few days later the live virus is extracted from the embrionic egg The virus is then killed People allergic to eggs can get reaction following immunization or there may be localized reac tion due to the protein in the dead virus human body must build up antibodies following immunization therefore one is not entirely protected from that particular strain of influenza for approximately weeks Any one who had the Swine Flu in 19181920 will still retain an tibodies in their bloodstream but the amount of protection will vary from person to per son Dr Brown concluded his lec ture by stating he was taking the threat Swine

tryside away from the hustle and bustle of Montreal Spera Residence offers haven for young people with problems such as drug addiction and al coholism The treatment centre foun ded in 1971 and located on farm near this town 25 miles southwest of Montreal is cred ited with having strai tened out the lives of many have passed through its doors Of the 112 young peeple who have completed voluntary six month or oneyear programs only 12 are known to have re turned to drug dependency or crime One resident an 18yearold former burglar and drug traf ficker says when he first ar rived at the farm he did not know what he was going to do with his time with no booze or drugs available But now Ive got plenty to keep me busy and Ilike it that way clean my room collect and wash eggs and talk to the staff and the other kids He says even scrubbing the cattle and cleaning up the manure makes him feel good because he does the job well never knew how to do anything well before thisexcept roll joints and steal BEGUN BY DOCTORS Spera was launched by Dr Norman Eade 47 and some of his eclleagues at the Montreal Childrens Hospital Dr Eade rofessor of both pediatrics an pharmacology says the farm was originally in tended to treat drug users but those involved in the program have realized since that drugs are rarely at the root of the problem Drug dependency is just symptom of other problems bad home life school troubles or general feeling of worth lessness Dr Eade says Drugs may be good point for us to start with but theres usu ally lot more than that in volved Mary an 18yearold former heroin addict and prostitute is graduate of Spera Residence She had lived alone and avoided school after the age of 12 and was once jailed for assaulting policeman After spending year on the farm she had sto ped using drugs and returne to school She now works as volunteer nurse in Toronto hospital One of the staff members at Spera is 28yearold Charlie McGarrity onetime drug pusher USED DRUGS got into dope at 13 and was hooked on booze and heavier drugs within couple of years he says started rip ping off stores to get bread to buy stuff with and eventually ended up in juvenile court seventimes gt After six months on the farm everything turned around for me because people cared enough to try to communicate with me Spera is model of the Nor mal environment called for report on Quebec juvenile den tention centres released in February The report was based on oneyear study of the provinces 73 juvenile detentiOn centres by ninemembr committee headed by Manuel Batshaw 1t recommended that an open network of communitybased services be established as an alternative to detention and maximum security centres This network should emphasize diversity innovation and flexibility About 40 per cent of children in detention centres should not be there the report said ACTION PROMISED Quebec Social Affairs Minister Claude Forget said the government would take rapid action to set up such network Mr Forget said decisions have already been made to limit the use of maximum security centres by offering such alternatives as youth hostels foster homes group homes and community rehabilitation programs Dr Eade says he has tried unsuccessfully for government funding for Spera private fundraising campaign now is under way Its the craziest thing he says If we were to close down for lack of funds most of these kids would wind up in detention centres or jail where it would cost the government $10000 to $1000 to keep them But here for just couple of thousand per youngster we can not only keep them out of deten tion but change their lives in the process Berrys World ©1976 by NEA Irtc And another reason we dont need an Intelligence Oversight Committee is weve had too many oversights Involving intelligence already
