Bars Reds, GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- Canada Drops Meet Plans TORONTO (CP)--The Cana- SOME NOTES ON THE HIGH COST OF LIVING Some of our best friends are practitioners in Optometry, and allied fields, but one thing confuses us -- their general fee structure, or price scale. i . It seems to vary, unreasonably to us, with geographical location, so that too often the consumer is asking, if- only in a whisper: "What yardsticks are used, what is the general line of reasoning behind all this?" : * What is your reaction when the pri eyé-glasses varies as much at $3 in the " in: three stores 7 \ This so-called crazy-quilt pattern does not apply only to glasses, prices of which often appear unreasonable, contrad- ietory as the stock market.' It also appears to apply to the fee scale of the top "'spec- falists'* in the profession, such as eye surgeons (ophthaimol- ogists -- "a physician specializing in the study and treat- ment of defects and diseases of the eyes," says our dic- tionary). Why is there such variance in the standard fees, quoted beforehand via telephone, for a '"'refraction" (testing of lenses) among ophthalmologists (forgetting for the moment that the same situation exists among Optometrists)? Why should the office of one city ophthalmologist quote a price of $8, yet another $10, and. still another (in the same office quarters) $12, for a "refraction"? But. dont's get dis- couraged, some Torito Ophthalmologists charge as much as $15 for a "refraction," and may be worth every cent of it. In fairness to ophthalmologists as a group -- like astro- nauts, Nafional Foothali League quarterbacks, authors. of two- year municipal traffic surveys, and other highly-skilled pro- fessionals, they are not all in the same intelligence group. Some undoubtedly are smarter than others (also some "'re- fractions' are more time-consuming than others); tnerefore, there should be a reasonable leeway in their fee scale, but ig the difference in the services rendered really that great? Is one worth $7 more than another for such a standard service ? A PLEA FROM THE CHILDREN | CHILDREN'S PRAYER (Oshawa division): Dear Lord, please give the Oshawa Centennial committee, and City Coun- cil, the wisdom to fully understand our most urgent need for at least two indoor swimming pools strategically located. in populous areas. This matter has been ignored too long by _ our elected representatives at City Hall. Please give them, also, the courage to stand firm in our behalf, regardiess of outside pressure for other Centennial proposals." CENTENNIAL PRODUCES "NOTHING PROJECTS" Only a few more than 100 of Ontario's more than 900 municipalities had their Centennial plans completed last week. They included 18 municipal parks, 18 municipal buildings, 12 community halls-and arenas, nine libraries, eight fire halls, four artificial ice plants, three museums, three public works buildings, three swimming pools, two cemetery vaults, two cemetary improvement projects, one recreation complex and one castle restoration. This information was voluntered at a Centennial seminar for town planners, architects, engineers, professors and civil servants in Stratford last week, during which Peter Eldridge, director of planing for Peterborough, predicted that the Cen- tennial would produce the biggest spate of nothing-projects in the history of Canada. The seminar urged municipalities to get away from the idea that only new buildings constitute significant projects. It recommended more attention to long-range programs of land acquisition for public open space and recreation. It encouraged local Councils to work with private enterprise in providing these open space, It urged the preservation and restoration of interesting architecture, maintaining the living history and not treated like a butterfly collecion, impaled on pins and put under. glass. Architect John Pratt gave a word of sage advice: | He said it was no good bewailing poor civic design and bad planning if the critics were prepared to do nothing further about it. "If the Utopians got into poliiics, one or the other would be cured,"' he said. "Planning must be integrated with the political structure. Politics. is a stimulating, purifying and at times thoroughly disgusting experience, but you should get in." Controfler William Archer of Toronte threw out the same advice: "Come out of your seminars and get involved; if you can't make the team, at least get on the bench." : All at the seminar agreed that imagination has not been pe overworked asset thus far in planning of Centennial pro- ects. of a new pair of of two city blocks.
