While man was still a hunter, he accepted other predators as a healthy part of his environment. He knew their role was to assure him a healthy stock for his own needs. The Caribou-culture Eskimos recognized this and looked upon the wolf, that preyed upon the same caribou herd as they did, as their friend. "Despite all the knowledge available, there still exists a great myth-understanding of the relationship between predator and prey," states the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. "Basically, neither can get along without the other." Of all living organisms on earth, perhaps half a million kinds, at least during part of their life, could be described as predators. Most are animals but a few are plants. Man, himself, is a predator. The wolf, throughout their this provin range, average about one betreated per ten square miles. 'ederation If youve one of the six million Canadians who will be receiving a cheque from the federal government this month, look for a new design, a new color and the recently adopted federal symbol. The new look was announced by the Honourable James Richardson, Minister of Supply and Services and Receiver General for Canada. "Federal Government cheques were changed for some very good reasons," the Minister said. "The new cheques are designed in a way that will make them extremely difficult for an unqualified recipient to cash. The government's action in adopting this new design was The wolf-Ontario tourist attraction Visit our new store....Now Open 3304 Dundas St. W.

"its primary purpose for existence today is for political patronage, not control. The wolf is a valuable natural resource of this province, and needs to be treated as such," says the Remove 50 per cent of them and their population bounces back. By removing part of the population, more food per animal becomes available within the allotted territory, therefore more young are reproduced and survive. As a result, production of animals is encouraged. This points up the folly of the bounty system. In Ontario, taxpayers paid out $38,775. last year as bounty on the destruction of 1,551 wolves. In addition, administration and processing probably cost the equivalent. The new-style cheque will have a light green background and the bar and maple leaf federal logo will appear on the upper left hand corner. Two larger maple leafs will also appear in the background design. The new card cheques will be mailed early next week while paper cheques in the new design will be in- troduced in April of 1972. prompted by its continuous concern for improved security and greater ef- ficiency." Mr. Richardson added that the change also represents a major advance in the standardization of sizes and colors of all cheques issued by the Government of Canada. UNICEF, an agency of the United Nations, is the only organization in the UN. concerned exclusively with the welfare of the world's children. It helps with health, education and nutrition programs for In June, 1971 The Vanier Institute of the Family ac- cepted a report by a Task Force on Family Life Education. The main recommendation was that Family Life Education become a main function of the Vanier Institute. Borough of York children are eagerly preparing for Hallowe'en again and this year the UNICEF Com- mittee hopes to top last year's contribution of $7,337.31. Mrs. Kathleen Crowe of Montreal, independent consultant on Family Life Education, was the Institute’s choice for chairmanship of its new Family Lite Education Standing Committee. Many definitions of Family Life Education have been attempted, but Mrs. Crowe feels that "surely it is any approach ... which helps people to live more Writing in the Vanier Institute's quarterly, Transition, Mrs. Crowe describes the "explosion of concern" for the family of today in the present crisis of change in which the family is living. This change challenges all in Family Life Education to clarify their goals.

The primary aim of Family Life Education, she writes, "is to provide knowledge and develop attitudes to make it possible for people of all ages to find satisfaction, fulfillment and meaning in their lives in the changing world of today." The revolution in education, the passing of the "Puritan work ethic", wide unemployment, are all parts of the crisis of change. People working in Family Life Education must be sensitive to these changes. There are changing roles in the family with more women entering the labour force, and growing numbers of one-parent families due to separation and divorce. In the past adults could give education for living to their children, but with the acceleration of change, and youth’s exploration of alternative "lite styles", many adults feel threatened and uncertain. mothers and children in 115 countries. One dollar buys enough vaccine to protect 100 children from tuberculosis. Five dollars buys enough baby fish to stock three village fish-ponds for local supply of valuable protein. When floods, earthquakes, volcanoes and other disasters disrupt vital services for children ( health, schools, etc.) UNICEF provides emergency aid to The goals of Family Life When borough citizens donate one dollar, the receiving country matches that with $2.50. UNICEF aid is not a charity but a method of self-help. When a goblin with a little orange box appears on your doorstep, please remember he is trying to help another child in a distant land -- a child who also likes to learn, to play, to eat and to be healthy. An area of considerable confusion is 'education for sexuality'. Most such programs are called 'sex education', which many see as similar to Family Life Education. It is only one small aspect. Many who oppose 'sex education', therefore, feel they must oppose Family Life Education. Sex education is usually based on biological facts, and all should be able to obtain it. But 'education for sexuality' helps people to understand their whole growth into full male or female sexual beings, with all the emotional, physical and spiritual connotations. restore their services, Education Mrs. Crowe feels are: (a) to help individuals and families live creatively now in a rapidly changing society, and (b) to enable people to develop the inner strength to face and live with new forms of family life which may evolve. "Man must be helped to be able to operate at a level of adaptability never before asked of human beings", writes Mrs. Crowe. 9 Pc. 2nd Empire French . Burled elm surfaces .

Mr. Henderson is expected to outline a recent public relations campaign directed by the Vancouver Board in Five of the six municipalities in Metro show nine-month totals that are well above the year-earlier figure, and in the City of Toronto the nine-month total is greater than for any lb About 7.3 million Canadians were drinking fluoridated water as 1971 began, a jump of some 330,000 from the year before. But while more Canadians are benefiting from this world recognized tooth decay battler, there are still 8.5 million Canadians who could have fluoridated water, but don't receive it. To the end of September this year the City of Toronto and the five boroughs proved permits for mix with an estimated value of $713,317,312, up from $491,253,721 in the corresponding period of 1970. These are people who are on piped drinking water systems which can be treated, The growth in fluoridation last year was only 1 per cent higher due to Canada's population growth. The figures appear in the latest edition of Fluoridation in Canada, published an- nually by the Canadian Dental Association. There are some 5.5 million Canadians who are not on piped water systems and whose water is not naturally fluoridated, so fluoridated supplies account for 46 per cent of the possible total. The value of projects for which building permits were issued in Metropolitan Toronto in the first nine months of this year was 45 per cent higher than in the corresponding period last year, a survey by The Toronto Real Estate Board indicates. More drink flouridated water DENTAL TOPICS Pollution on realtors' minds Building permits proiect value up Some of the municipalities show a decline on the month when compared with Sep- tember, 1970. but a 30-day period is usually considered too short a period to show a building trend. Within a single month it is possible to get tremendous variations, and a single large project can make the month in which it is approved appear unusually significant. For example, the City of Toronto had its largest total for a single month in August, topping the $73-million mark. aware at their enviroimfent and outline concrete pollution problem - Also ipeaking at the session will be Mr. John Young, f Toronto Realtor, whose firm has recently launched an intensive ad. vertising campaigndesigned to promote the benefits of a clean environment.
