DATED at TORONTO this 1ST day of MARCH, 1988 Y. Lane Board Secretary Environmental Assessment Board 2300 Yonge Street, Suite 1201 Toronto, Ontario M4P 1E4 (416) 323-4806 responsibility must go with criticism, says reader from page 4 organizations have a chain of command by which a grievance can be aired and redressed. And, for the benefit of the cadet in ques- tion, the courageous and honorable thing to do would be to initiate the procedure by submitting a formal request for interview to the Commanding officer, and then pro- ceed to succeedingly higher levels of command until satisfaction is obtained. I am even more disappointed in the News for allowing a letter of this nature to be published anony- mously for whatever purpose. An opportunity to criticize with- out taking responsibility is certainly not in keeping with the honorable traditions of the cadet corps, and does not serve the best interest of the young cadet, nor that of his or her unit. Frank Leppanen Terrace Bay No vaccine found yet to counter deadly AIDS from page 1 invite calls to the AIDS hotline, which has been expanded to include service in French. Franco-Ontarians can call 1- 800-267-SIDA from anywhere in the province. the English hotline number is 1-800-668-AIDS for calls from this area. "We must try to prevent the spread of the infection because the is no cure and no sign of vaccine," the minister said. "The only line of defence is prevention." Mrs. Caplan noted that the num- ber of AIDS cases reported in Ontario last year was almost double that of the previous ycar. The first confirmed cases of the disease in Ontario were reported in 1982 and by 1987 there had been almost 600. Half of those have already died. "In practically all cases in this province, AIDS is a sexually trans- mitted disease," Mrs. Caplan said. "Education is of paramount impor- tance in checking its spread."
