Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1965 --- PAGE 4 Housing Investigation In Oshawa Two statements bearing a close relationship to each made at a recent meeting of the Oshawa Planning Board. One was a quotation by 8. D. Hyman from a report of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation to the effect that 170 homes in Oshawa and 1700 in the districts from Pickering to Bowmanville are sub-standard, for various reasons, other were Taken in conjunction with that must be a statement from Dr. J. W. Watt, supervisor of environ- mental sanitation for Oshawa, that there is at present no city opliga- tion which deals with the housing problem "in any satisfactory way." Arising out of this discussion came the formation of a committee to investigate and stud) provincial legislation dealing with this subject, This study, it is hoped, might providing for minimum housing and property city's premissive lead to a by-law atandards for Oshawa, The board of health has already ap- Second Languag It can be iomatic that travel in foreign countries has a great educational value and is a accepled as ax strong broadening influence.

It is over a year since the Ontario legislature enacted permissive legis- lation giving the municipalities wide with ¢ powers to deal sub-standard housing conditions within their boundaries. If the situation in Osh- awa is such as is reported by the Central Housing and Mortgage Cor- poration, then it is time that the civie authorities, such as the plan- ning board and the board of health, take a good look at this legislation to see how it can be applied to the improvement of these 'sub-standard housing conditions in Oshawa.

OTTAWA REPORT Details Are Given Of Dr. Howe's By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA ---. On Sept. 3 Jast year, I described for the first time what has since achieved Canada-wide fame as the Doc- tor Howe carnivorous diet The secret slipped out, I wrote, when I noted the gargan- fuan breakfast being enjoyed by Murdo Martin, the 47-year-old, 463-pound New Democratic MP Timmins, His modest menu of three fried eggs, ieces of bacon, three pork sausages and two large cups of coffpe with cream, '§ suppose that is your only medl of the day?"-I asked him. "The only meal before my lunch of a cold plate with salad and cheese, and my supper of jellied consomme and a large steak,"' he replied That little exchange touched off the Doctor Howe Story; it also very vividly described the ampleness and the unusualness of the permitted diet. On the Dr. Howe-regime, nobody need become a midnight icebox raider DEMAND FOR MENUS Ottawa and Toronto , news papers, country-wide radio net- works, . and communica tion media have copied the Thomson newspapers in spread- ing this stors Dr. Howe, the New Democratic MP from Ham- ilion, redu 1 hi weight from other 914 to 170 nd immed h waistli from 46 to 35 inches in a little more than four months, At the end of that per- iod, he had to buy.a lot of new clothes, but he looked and felt robust and energeti and did not have the sagging face mus ociates with the low-calory diet cle one a These results have caused a widespread demand for -specifie details of the diet, and typical menus.

The only addition Dr. Bill Howe suggests is to- mato juice or avocado. pear For lunch; again Murdo Mar- lin's meal of cold plate with salad, and cheese, is good, Bill Howe would add jellied or hot consomme, The salad can con- sist of lettuce, tomato, avocado hard boiled egg, cold as- paragus, sliced peppers and cress. A delicious addition is three tablespoons of corn oil in which stilton cheese has been crushed -- the recommended salad dressing. For dinner, you could start with smoked salmon, oysters or aviatr hen any soup, except 'ontaining pasta or rice or barley; then perhaps cold lobster; and end up with ice cream so long as it is made without sugar--such as dietetic delight, marketed by Bordens, which is sweetened with cal- cium cyclamate Milk, cream, butter and cheese, and eggs, as pure ani- mal products are permitted, as well as any animal or fish--in quantities limited only by taste Beer is not allowed, but scotch and water or gin and tonie or dry white wine are all included in the diet. It doesn't sound so hard to take, does it? If you don't cheat, you can eat, drink and slenderize, slices those Must Move Slowly On Milk Marketing By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--In debating the new Milk. Act the house was united against the Hennessey Report plan of marketing All parties were in agreement that a province-wide pool which would buy all milk offered would be too drastic a first step. It would be too big and too sudden, it was said. It would tend to. knock down the price of milk. And it could put the milk industry through "economic convulsions", . a term used by Liberal Murray Gaunt But there wasn't any such agreement on whether the act, and the program it will initiate, would be a success. AIM ACCEPTED It was accepted that the aim of the program is to bring about equality of-price and op- portunity in the industr More pertinently it was in ended that the thousands ° of concentrated producers who now are barred from the fluid milk market would bé able to get into this market if they wished or at least get grade A price Grade "A. milk--now they usualls 't al least $1 a hundredweight less for thei The opposition was oplimis tic. but also not too specific how the aim would be reached It is clear that if it is reached it won't be overnight Agriculture Minister Bill Stewart stressed that changes POINTED PARAGRAPHS Among thirgs cians call the incurable cold "pharynyo - conjunctive fever", If you can pronounce it clearly, you haven't got it. other physi Russia has apologized for the damage done by students to the U.S. embassy in Moscow.

The acreage rights granted under tobacco marketing are a privilege. They are a privilege that is worth a lot of money. This is probably the single most important obstacle to working out an equitable and principled solution to the ta- bacco problem \ tobacco farm today repre- sents a big investment. A great deal of this investment is rep- resented by the monetary value of the ."rights,"" This, first of all, adds to the production cost of tobacco, And it means that to shake up the industry could bring on drastic financial losses. Further it holds back tobacco" farmers from switching to other less valuable crops The privilege in milk has been in fluid milk quotas, and they again have caused most of the trouble in this field course, FOUR SEASONS TRAVEL Representatives For All Major Canadian Resorts toct Four Seasons Travel about ir populer conducted tours of the HIGHLIGHTS OF CANADA.
