FOR THE PAUSE that refreshes, says Brother Loon as he gets a shot of Vitamin B-12 from Dr, Cam MacKay, a Whitby veterin- arian. The loon was found Tuesday afternoon by R. Badgley of Toronto (left) stranded on Highway 12, south of Brooklin and wound up at the animal hos- pital for a '"'pep shot." Later the bird was released at Whitby Harbor. Dr. Mac- Kay is seen holding the wandering bird. --Oshawa Times Photo School Board Objects To Tax Delineation WHITBY (Staff) -- Distribu- tion of the current Whitby tax notices is being hotly protested by the Whitby Separate School Board, according to a letter forwarded to the town council this week. The board members ate especially incensed over a form revealing the break-down of the 1965 mill rate and base their complaint on two main facts. The letter stated: (a) the in- formation given concerning the Separate Schools is incorrect; (b) such information is divisive and, therefore, not in the best interests of the community as a whole. RATE REDUCED The board explained the Sepa- rate School rate was reduced by .6 mills from the 1964 state- ment. This decrease applied to both residential and commer- cial assessment, but was not shown on the tax form, In op- position to this fact, the board stated, the form shows an in- crease of .7 mills in the Sepa- rate School rate for industrial and commercial assessment. Board members claim their school rate should have been in black as is the town's general rate. The form indicates via a spe- which council has no control', which include public schools, Separate schools and others. The Separate School Board agreed the council has no con- trol over such groups and is also elected to office so is as responsible to the taxpayers as are the school board members. The board suggested the ap- parent purpose of the special statement on the form is to imply that the school boards and others are responsible for the tax increase and not the council. It further implies the taxpayers should remember; this fact at election time. | CAN DEFER ACTION | The board agreed a munici-| pal council can maintain or reduce its general rate by the! simple expedient of deferring action on such items as pav-| ing, storm drainage, or ade- quate salary increases to muni- cipal employees. The school board has obligations as well and must make provision of facilities for teaching the dents of education and school principals, Cost of providing necessary facilities can be reduced in two ways the board stated in its letter: (a) a lowering of the standard of education or; (b) reduction of the number of children, The latter alterna- tive\is not under the control of any school board, it was ex- plained. It was further. pointed out, the parents, who are the electors, would quickly reject the former even if it was pos- sible. The board branded any at- tempt to place responsibility for Whitby's present tax posi- tion on the school boards as totally unfair and an insult to the intelligence of the voters. ASK PROMOTION The board suggested that Whitby should be promoted by all citizens either collectively or individually. They predicted that without additional indus- trial assessment or further gov- ernment assistance, the tax bur- cludes educational facilities for whatever number of school-age courses of education as laid down by the Provincial De- partment of Education, This in- den cannot decrease for some years. The board further pre- dicted that the town's general rate is in the same category.

The loon, a beautiful specimen of the bird family weighing eight and one half pounds, was found 9n the centre of the high- way by R. Badgley, of 324 Rouge Highland dr., Toronto. The motorist stated he had, picked up the bird which was lying in the centre of the road, and threw it into the air in order that it might take wing. "It was then I realized this) bird could only take off from water and decided to take it down to the lake," he said, "When I reached Whitby I remembered William Grylls, a friend of mine who I knew was a bird fancier," Mr. Badgley said: The loon eventually ar- rived at the King Street Public School where it was shown to both the pupils and Mr, Grylls. From the schoo! the loon next travelled to the MacKay Ani- mal Hospital with its two new benefactors. Dr. D. C. (Cam) MacKay checked the bird for injuries, found nothing damaged then gave the loon a "shot" of Vitamin B-12 to pep it up. The jloon was taken to Port Whitby iwhere it was released in the lake. One interesting point, how- ever, indicating the loon defin- itely had some reasoning power was the fact, when released, the bird swam out about 10 feet, spun around in the water, gave out with a high pitched "honk", flapped its wings and then head- ed out for deep water and free- dom. "The loon was thanking us for its freedom," both men stated junembarrassed by a sudden fit jof emotion.

Pharmaceutists obtain their licences only after having served one year as internes in the profession, They study for graduation at only one place, the University of Toronto, al- though there are at least three other colleges that provide edu- cation at the introductory level for future pharmaceutists, The pharmaceutist is only allowed to practice pharmacy under his licence in the Prov- ince of Ontario although there is a move on foot to provide a licence for the profession to be followed anywhere in Canada. Head office for the COCP is Toronto where there is a chief inspector with three inspectors serving under him who work in the, 'field' checking complaints when necessary. The inspectors also conduct periodic inspec- tions of pharmacies throughout selected districts. Other duties of these officers is the routine checking of cases which involve the Infringement Committee and Discipline Com- mittee.

This de- partment encourages university students to enter the profession and also attempts to intain the high standards of service promoted by the profession. 15 DISTRICTS For purposes of simplification the province is divided into. 15 districts all of which come under the Council's jurisdiction. The council meets four times a year to discuss administration, education and many other topics which involve Ontario wharmacists, Bylaws drafted to improve standards and provide additional protection for both the public and pharmaceutist are drawn up at these meet-'! ings. The infringement committee is the official group which deals with all complaints from the public: Pharmaceutists, who do not adhere to all regulations within their licences or other legislation recognized by the COCP, are brought before this roup. When the first group is un- able to deal with serious prob- lems the discipline committee hands out suspensions or can- cellation of licences when necessary. At all times the safety of the public is the 'guiding light' rep- resenting the objective of ac- tions taken by either pf these minor committees and the coun- cil itself. PRESCRIPTION ESSENTIAL One important point, stressed by the speaker, dealt with nar- cotics or prescriptions which may have harmful effects if sold to anyone without a doc- tor's prescription. Mr. Kemp stated that many times pharma- ceutists are criticized by the public for refusing to sell pre- scriptions without a doctor's permission. He suggested this was the wrong attitude since the pharmaceutist is not allow- ed to give out drugs of any kind without a prescription signed by the physician. Another aspect of the profes- sion which is largely unknown to the public is the strict watch kept over all pharmaceutists who may otherwise allow un- authorized people to dispense drugs, Additional strictness is directed at stores or premises which may become unsanitary, and possibly present a bad s Group Seeking Ld s Lodge Visitors WHITBY--St. Mark's United Church Women, Unit No. 7, held' its meeting at the church house with 21 members and one visitor present, The leader, Mrs. Tom Farn- dale, opened the meeting with a poem entitled "May."
