Xe RS - oR Pa adn RAE AGRE SEAN Canadians lose 166 eyes during sport activities The Canada Safety Council has voiced concern over the incidence of eye injuries in sports as reported to a Toronto ophthalmologist, Dr. Tom Pashby, by his fellow specialists across the country. At least 166 eyes were lost by Canadians playing amateur sports during the last seven years. It is suspected there have been many more eye injuries which have gone unreported. Hockey has higher eye injury frequency and severity rates than any other sport. It accounts for 80 per cent of reported cases of blinded eyes. During the past year, 63 eye injuries to hockey players were reported and none of these players was wearing a face protector. The average age of injured players in 1974 was 14 years whereas in 1980 it was 26 and a half years. All hockey players should wear face protectors certified by the Canadian Standards Association. When buying hockey helmets and face protectors for their children, parents must make sure of a snug fit and follow instructions attached to each protector. Racquetball and squash players must wear eye protectors with CSA approved lenses. There are reports of 53 eye injuries suffered by players wearing lenseless protectors. Ball hockey goal tenders must wear face protectors, even those playing road hockey. Dr. Pashby is heading up a CSA committee which is developing standards for racquetball protectors. It is expected the standard will be complete by the end of this year. Durham Region Labour leaders have kicked off a campaign against soaring mortgage interest rates that will include a mass protest in Ottawa on November 21st. The Durham contingent will be part of a nationwide protest being organized by the Canadian Labour Congress. More than 12 buses of area protesters are expected to travel to Ottawa, along with as many as 145 buses from the Metro Toronto area. Rick McEachern, a local resident and member of the Political Action Committee (P.A.C.) of United Auto Workers Local 222 in Oshawa, is helping to organize the protest bus trip for the Scugog area. He told the Star in an interview that "Canadians, and in parti- cular homeowners are facing a genuine economic crisis." The government should make it clear immediately, that it plans a lower interest policy, he stated.

The mass protest is hoped to be one of the largest rallies to take place on Par- liament Hill. As well as the area and metro buses, at least 145 buses from other parts of Southern Ontario plus a strong Quebec contingent are expected to voice their anxiety over the current high interest rates on homeowner mortgages. Among those taking part in the protest are the Ontario Federation of Labour, Women Against Rising Prices, the Oshawa Interest Rate Home Owners Group, the Federation of Metro Tenants, Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and Senior Citizens of Ontario group's members. Mr. McEachern added that '"'while the protest is being organized by the C.L.C., it is their intention to include any individual or group who wishes to partici- pate. Any concerned citizen in the Scugog area is welcome to attend the rally and buses will be supplied at no cost for those who wish to join in. A lunch will also be served to the protestors at no charge. Mr. McEachern stated that 'while many home- owners are facing fore- closure on their mortgage due to the ridiculous rates, many rental units will also be affected (if not already) and that monthly rent pay- ments are becoming absurd. Seniors and those on fixed incomes cannot afford to take the brunt of these rates either. "This township is already dealing with a rental unit crisis." "Where will we put all the families who lose their homes if we cannot even provide rental accom- modations, let alone ones they can afford?" he asked. "The time has come when we must stand up, speak out and be counted." I'm sure there are many other Scugog Township residents who are facing a bleak future should mineral offer these benefits?
