insurance Although it might be diffi cult thmg to sell to starryeyed Back in the days when the husband was usually familys sole breadwinner insurance policies were tailored to give the wife steady income in the event of her husbands death But says Garcia the life in surance needs of family in which both partners have stable job are not the same as those of family that counts al most entirely on the husband for its financial security ROLE CHANGED The increasing par ticipation of women in the work force changes the role life insurance can play About two per cent of all fam ily heads in Canada now are di vorced and Garcia says that represents fourfold increase in 10 years Also the number of outof wedlock births now varies be tween eight and 10 per cent in the different regions of Canada and 90 per cent of all unwed mothers are choosing to bring up their children themselves Garcia says that between 1973 and 1978 the number of families headed by single parent and receiving social assistance nearly doubled reaching 19 per cent of all iiimilies receiving aid Up till now we havent been able to find equivalent mecha nisms to guarantee secure in come for singleparent families headed by divorced or unmar ried person The women con cerned have had to fall back on the government as soon as they found they couldnt meet their needs through their own Mm Poem for those lost in fire By JEAN GABLE Barrie Horticultural Society September is lawn month when people plant new lawn or renovate an old one There is usually period of wet weather to stimulate growth Days are cooler and good for ger minating seed or root growth However right now while temperature is still high is the time to spray for all broadleaved weeds Be sure and remember to keep the spray close tot he ground never spray when there is breeze and to me hose Sprayers for weedkill are No No as you can not control them well enough If you get rid of the weeds now you can fertilize again in early September and give your lawn real boost for another season Watch for mildew at this time on Perennial Phlox Monar do Veronica and Lilacs Spraying with Benomyl is the answer to this problem The Barrie society spent

former teacher at Barrie North Collegiate and member of the Ar boretum committee It was planned to use it in the dedica tion service as the new memorial will become part of the arboretum but it got misplaced am sure you will enjoy it THE ARBURETLM Like islands in fretful sea The Place Of Trees is tumult free place of rest and quiet joys Surrounded by the citys noise Here is place to look for peace Where troubles fly and worries cease Here is place where all may find Beauty joy and pleace of mind Where man and Nature work in tune And growth continues late and soon beauteoUS thing joy forever worthy goal of mans endeavour Whener man builds destruction starts Crumbling his homes machines and arts But trees improve increase expand Advance the efforts of his hand Here in their youth are to be seen The maple oak and evergreen The elm the ash the birch trees white Spreading their leaves to catch the light Memorys trees are tended well For they have much of love to tell Of those whose lives well ner forget Their influence is with us yet In days to come great trees will spread When those who placed them all are dead Great trunks will rise and branches merge Arching above the grassy verge Now through the trees long vistas sweep Where squirrels chatter shy birds peep River of sunlight pools of shade And long barred shadows on grassy glade And here and there white birth clump And here and there an ancient stump And cobweb nets bejewelled with dew And treetop cones against the blue Here stolling couples courting come And those who sigh and also some Who linger while their children run Among the trees for sport and fun Here nesting birds their secrets keep Where poplars whisper willows weep And here the weary come to find Rest and refreshment for the mind In time to come these things shall be Woodland beauty for all to see And many will walk where the founders trod Far from thefutile nearer God James Savage Written June 301979 and dedicgted to Synnotti

University of Calgarys medical centre and biochemist Dr Chris Tan is one of the physicians doing that work The biochemisit is manufac turing one of the four kinds of Interferon one of the most promising weapons in the battle against the modern scourge Interferon has kind of notoriety right now says Dr Martin Jerry the head of can cer research at the universitys oncology research unit It looks promising but we have got production problem that stands in the way of test ing says Jerry But notoriety may be an un derstatement for the attention Interferon is receiving through out the world One type leukocyte Inter feron has had demonstrated ef fects on nonmalignant growths But it is difficult and expensive to produce with one pound estimated to cost billions of dollars The human leukocyte Inter feron now used in research comes from Finland and is measured in picograms trillionths of gram But Tan is producing human fibroblast Interferon from con nective tissue cells rather than white blood cells as is leukocyte Interferon And more im portantly he is producing it in relatively large quantites milligram amounts Jerry says its significant but it isnt the kind that is being tested so widel throughout the world now an is receiving so much attention MAY BE EFFECTIVE Its different entity he says But one of the contribu tions that could be made is to look at different kind than the standard kind like leukocyte Fibroblast Interferon might be more effective with connecting cell cancer Eleven Albertans and Swede were the first persons in the world to be given human fibroblast Interferon produced in the University of Calgary laboratories last year The treatments part of ex perimentation to determine whether the dru was tolerable did not pr uce magical results Some of the patients suffered little fever and the supply of Interferon was exhausted Ann Landers Survival name of game Dear Ann Landers Recently you published letter from woman who suffered from

Insist that the children do as their father says They owe him obedience But if he wants their respect hes going to have to earn it one day at time Erma Bombeck Catchy phrases in government f1 By ERMA BOMBECK The government is just full of catchy phrases The latest one youre going to hear lot about was offered by an administration official as solution to the energy crisis He said Americans must learn to maximize per sonal discomfort How are we going to maximize personal discomfort you ask By lowering temperature settings forming car pools and riding buses How do you like that For years Ive been maximizing my personal discomfort via car pool just didnt know what you called it Ironically the first car pool had nothing to do with con servation or with the shortage of gas Shared rides were in vented by Thelma Flagstop an Indiana housewife who in 1933 volunteered to pick up four youngsters to take them to birthday party She made arrangements for another mother to pick them up Despite the fact that two of the children lived within two doors of the party the idea caught on like wildfire Children didnt want to walk anymore They liked the idea of clim bing into car and going byebye playing with the windows and jumping up and down on the seats The rest is history In 1978 there were six billion 973235 car pools in the United States all manned by mothers You may remember the blizzard of 79 in Chicago where there were only two cars on the road snow plow and mother carrying five little girls to baton lessons Carpooling may soon become new way of life in this country It would be selfish of me not to share my expertise with those soon to embark on the carpool experience The chili rule No chili will be eaten off the dashboard before 1030 am Riders must know where they live If not they must have directions pinned to their sweater Occupancy by more than eight in the back seat is not permitted If passenger announces dont feel so good take him seriously always familiarize my passengers with the nausea drill on the first day so they may go directly to the nearest exits with precision Follow these rules and you will not only minimize your joy but your level of frustration will polarize wouldnt have said it quite that way but the government would Pollys Pointers Vinyl strip renews coat DEAR POLLY My black raincoat still looks new except along the edges
