v I T I I THE ERA WED MARCH A A By Ray Over Head Costs I Although we hate to admit it the modem male with touted hair has at last found a legitimate excuse for keeping us puzzled as to his or her gender After March 17 mens haircuts in this vicinity will jump to which means that for us poor jokers in the baldheaded row an breakdown of about cents per hair The barbers of any community are entitled to a living and have our undying sympathy if the day ever dawns when the modern wiidhair look of the male gives way to a close polished crewcut When that day does arrive we hope the eggheads are given plenty of warning it would be a delightful afternoon watching the barber wade through about 400 worth of hair and get a miserable as recompense only causes pain to hark back to the days when a trip to the local parlour ended up with the big time spenders tossing the barber a quarter and telling him to keep the change Lets be fair on thai score though at that time we were rolling in a month and our board and tobacco We have a new idea for that revised list of rates soon going up in the barbershops why not gives us baldpates a break and provide us with a real refined polish job for about cents A Vital I Representation has been made or will be made shortly to and Aurora councils also to Whitchurch East and by Caryl Services Ltd for subsidies to help maintain an ambulance service in the area had been hoped by the operators that this assistance might have been available at the county level but because York County Council has already prepared the 1967 budget little hope was held for help at county level With the new regulations in effect governing the operation of I ambulance services and type of equipment lo be used the public is assured of better service Each service will be confined to a specific area having no more than 15mile radius from home base Judging by the briefs presented to the two towns Monday night the cost to them in terms of subsidies is reasonable and there should be no in making sure this vital service is continued Dear Editor With regard to your article on page one of your March issue headed Jtabics Outbreak feci someone who has undergone the rabies injections should enlighten those who might have to face such a procedure in the future Last October a pony died at our farm on Davis Drive West King Two veterinarians attended the animal the day it died and were at the time unable to diag nose the problem The next day took the body of the pony to University for an autopsy and received a report from Ottawa that it had died of rabies We immediately contacted our family doctor who prescribed rabies injections for all who had handled the pony included were my wife my three children aged and and myself as well as two neighbours We were particularly concerned for like most people we were of the impression that these shots would be extremely painful a long needle would be driven into our stomachs everyday for days and needless say much anxiety was created particularly at the prospect of having lo subject the children to such a procedure Our misgiving were completely unfounded The shots are not at all painful only inconvenient The doctor uses a fine short needle It In injected just under the kin of ones stomach area and is no more serious than a polio shot Each of us received one shot a day for days As of the ninth shot develop ed recreation in the form of a mild headache and the points of injection reddened and swelled like huge mosquito bites and were ex tremely itchy These subsided in the next three or four days The other members of my family had It 1 the myth of pain etc thai has grown around this matter is all out of proportion to its seriousness This myth could cause the more sensitive to avoid having the in jections either soon enough or not at all and therefore face certain death if they were infected And knowledge of what lo expect would certainly relieve the of those facing the prospect of in jections I contacted the office of the Ontario Minister of Health this morning to suggest that the above information be made public I was lold by a Doctor Large that this had been done in the form of pamphlets sent to the county health units throughout the prov ince It appears that these pam phlets are still in the health unit offices instead of in the hands of the people I was also told that as far as King Township was concerned the rabies problem was not an there having been only approximately cases of rabid animals reported since January I in that township In closing may J note that in jections are given in the stomach rather than the seat because while the seat is comparably a large enough area to accept In- one observes considerably more decorum scratching ones stomach very truly Wilson JUL Newmarket a similar but much milder reae- tion At no time did we experience as described by newspaper accounts and television and radio Up news reports which unfortunately are perhapsunwittingly propagat- a problem I this information made very public for Dear Sir On behalf of the Ontario Heart Foundation I Would publicly like to express my sincere thanks to the groups and individuals who made the recent Heart Sunday canvass the success it was In particular I would like to thank the Catholic Womens league and the Canadian Air Cadets who together formed the hulk of the canvass team The job of canvassing Is a thankless one as it Is hard for the community to realize the over- all value to which these individuals contribute Yours very truly Tom Taylor for Ontario Heart

me a Rolls Speaking of cars guess Ive no kick Shes been lb for two whole days and still hasnt asked mo when she can get her driv ing license A real scatterbrain Canadians who have always re garded their country as a land of open spaces and clean air will be shocked to learn that we are pol luting our water and atmosphere just as rapidly as any other nation the legendary stories of black ness at noon in Pittsburgh of smog that makes you weep in Los Angeles and of soot and dust in Britains industrial Midlands al ways seemed a world apart from our clean Canadian environment Alberta billboards have pro claimed Look up The cleanest sky in the world is above you But now comes word from a variety of sources that air pollu tion is menacing not only every major metropolitan centre in Can ada but is spreading poisonous fumes for hundreds of miles in all directions from such places as To ronto Vancouver Montreal Ed monton and Sudbury In Toronto last month air pol lution on two successive reached levels almost as serious as those experienced in New York City And according to a recent meterological study bad air from Toronto has been traced via bal loons as far east as Quebec City and as far north as Ontarios lush holiday region At a time of increased engineer ing capability and growing social responsibility by industry why should air pollution still be such a problem Neither matter nor energy can be completely destroyed only changed in form or harnessed That is why fuels consumed to power industry or materials used in industrial processes that leave waste matter dont just go after were through with them Pollution control systems can only attempt to capture waste ele ments thrown off by industrial processes The efficiency of the controls depends largely on the investment made in the control equipment This in turn depends generally on how tough or lax a community is in enforcing pollu tion controls Water pollution presents as serious a hazard for our national future Household and industrial wastes have been dumped so free ly into rivers and streams all across Canada that from a recre ational standpoint alone are already severely curbed in their choice of fishing and swim ming locations While water pollution is basic- ally a federal responsibility air pollution comes under provincial and municipal control Provincial resource ministers are scheduled to meet May to work out a divi sion of responsibility Whatever the outcome progress will be made only it national standards are applied in all fields Hut smokebelching industrial plants anil sewage polluted streams are not the only or even the major sources of Canadas air pollution problem Automobile now regarded as major cause of pollution in the Angeles area and the US government has recently applied a federal regulation to control car exhausts This will require auto makers to install new cars with after burners designed to capture and reduce amount of exhaust par ticles which can
