revitalizat tioii study of the city core The ltpOllS by James MaiLarcn Ltd and Diamond llaiincrs Ltd both of Toronto say proposals to spread about 60000 new residents across the annexed lands over the next it years could create carroriented city which Would favor suburban shopping centres to the detriment of the core area To avoid this danger the consultants say the city should concentrate on redeveloping its existing lands to higher population dcnsi ty to put new residents as close to the core as possible and put off any major residential expansion into the annexed area The city must also provide good road ac cess to the downtown core from the annexed area the consultants say Barries annexation proposals call for developing annexed lands at 20 or fewer peo plc per acre of residential

making residents dependent on their cars the report says Putting most of Barrics future residen tial development southeast of the present city in the lands to be annexed from lnnisfil especially without adequate access to the core area will worsen the roblem by creating demand for major shopping cen tre in the annexed area We are convinced that another regional shopping centre located south of the present boundaries oft Barrie will do very significant harm to the existing core the consultants say Improved access to core shopping for the new southeast sector of the city is of very great importance An access route from the southeast would involve enlarging either Bradford Street or Lakeshore Drive says one of the reports and both possibilities face serious obstacles solution to the

researchers said If the vaccine is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration tFDAi it will be given to three groups of people highly susccpr tible to pneumonia the elderly children with missing or defective spleens and the estimated 50000 persons mostly blacks who suffer from sickle cell anemia the researchers said The results of twoyear study of 77 San Francisco Bay area black children with sickle cell who had been immunized by an ex perimental vaccine were announced at news conference Wednesday by team of researchers from the University of California at San Francisco UCSFi We have not seen adverse effects other than some local pain and fever said Dr Ar thur Ammann UCSF director of pediatric immunology We feel it is very safe vac Cine Dr Ammann suggested the vaccine even tually might join the arsenal of traditional immunizations such as polio given all children STUDY PUBLISHED Joining Dr Ammann at the conference were Dr William Mentzer and Dr Joseph Addiego both of UCSF Results of their study were published today in the New England Journal of Medicine The vaccine is an effective preventive treatment for one of the most important causes of death for children with sickle cell Dr Mentzer said We believe that cause of death can virtually be eliminated by prior im munization The UCSF study found for the 77 children tested the vaccine was lO00ercent effective in guarding against the pneumococcus bacteria ich causes pneumonia and other diseases Doctors said they also found the vaccine ef fective in 19 children whose spleens were missing or defective and were easy targets for the infection similar vaccine was found effective for older adults in series of tests just completed by Dr Robert Austrian at the University of Pennsylvania Dr Ammann said Dr Ammann
