east on Dunlop Street in Barrie from the Five Points during the winter of 1948 there was snow snow and more snow Dear Sir It is hard to believe that our Board of Education did not approach the Human Relations course in morc positive way which would have been acceptable to the public What reasons did they have to integrate this program into several different courses Why do they have to tcach this subject in whatever form in Kindergarten and other early grades Is it really that necessary to teach things like homosexuality eutanasia sex just to mention few and have our childrn work on it by discussions projects and decision making Sure those things exist but do our children really have to know and study it Do you think by doing so they will be better workers more successful in their careers profes sion Programs like this do not prevent unwanted pregnancies VI and so on as statistics in other countries practising this type of education for years have proven it Sweden started with sex educa tion in 1949 and became compulsory in 1957 The VD rate per 100000 in 1949 was 150 By 1969 it had rsicn to 409 The Curriculum of the Human Relations Course for grade 12 states on page 154 Even if we madc contraception easily available across the counter in stores or dispensed from vending machine in public washrooms still think they would not use it says Dr Cowell Dr Carol Cowell is Chief of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynocology at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto Some dedicated educators think this is must for our children otherwise they would not have spent that much time effort and our money on it Some parents say there is some good in it this may be true and that is why it is so dangerous Lets compare it with food for the learning mind of the child There are all kinds of ingredients to com plete the meal or gulash as Dr Shaw has put it in rillia There is lot of good things in it plus few very poisonous ingredients which make the whole thing unacceptable Should we let our children swallow that gulash letters to the editor it cnroll their children in this course and we can let ours stay out of it In other words Those who want it should have the privilege to put their children in we should not have to pull ours out Lou Frcundorfci Shanty Bay Dear Sir We thc counscllors of thc Oxford Regional cntrc arc forming the nuclcus of profcssional

Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service In Malta the gallant fighting island Of World War Two which won the George Cross the last British sailor has finally gone the last Royal Ensign has been hauled down The naval dockyard which in the heyday of Victorian Empire service the battleships and smaller craft of the worlds mightiest navy is empty Rear Admiral Oswald Cecil the last com mander of British forces in Malta which have been there continuously since the island was conquered from the French in 1800 offered up this farewell doggcrel Eighteen decades of our history weve shared with you Now the hour has arrived for our sad adieu The thin British presence on departure says much about the long since miniscule role of Britain in naval events in the Mediterranean The little fleet that sailed from Valettas Grand Harbour taking the admiral and his small force away was single destroyer and troop carrier with single ASW Nimrod fly ing over them In 1929 Britain imperial still had 86 ships in its powerful Mediterranean squadron of which nine battleships from it and from the Home Fleet anchored in Valetta Harbour at onetime And in the depths of World War Two when the Germanltalian bomber squadrons from nearby Italy and Italian North Africa tried to wipe out the island Churchill worried over its possible loss FLTLRE ROL All this is now part of departed empires history The realities for the Republic of Malta are those of so many new nations in the Third World new industries markets and longtcrm survival Unlike other former British possessions where substantial raw materials needed much local labor in Malta the needs of the British forces and of the Royal Navy meant steady employment The naval dockyard which was actually leased out to private operators several years ago was historically the islands largest and most reliable employer Now the Americans who long ago replaced the British in the Mediterranean as the major naval power facing the big Russian fleet in that sea are wondering if Maltese Prime Ministcr Dom Mintoff will invite the Russians to use or even run the dockyard Mr Mintoff who is devout socialist and believer in nonalignment says no Soviet naval prcscncc will replace the British onc Rathcr he is pushing tourism and the islands potential as laxhaven mainly for very highlaxcd Britons who have come to Malta to live and hence to become consumers in the islands fragilc economy The Libyans to Maltas south have political interest in the island with Libyan prcscncc in llic form of military mission and Libyan studcnts centre in Valctta The NATO naval brass at Brindisi the naval basc ncar Italys lip and centrally locatcd in thc Mcdilcrrancan are very worlt ricd about those apparent Libyan and Soviet intcrcsts in the island Though Malta has been an independent na tion since September 1961 Prime Minister Mintoff has sccii thc final British withdrawal as the sign of ultimnlc iiidcpcndcnce RAI SOVIET EXAMPLE He is unlikely to trade this long function of the British in his island republic for an uncer tain Sovict onc Tlicrc arc too many bad ex amplcs around Europe and the Middle East of the loss of political control from
