Dr. McIntosh is a brother of James C..McIntosh of RR 4 Seaforth and graduated from Seaforth Collegiate Insti- tute. His wife, the former Anna Haugh a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Chris Haugh of Bruce- field also is a Seaforth graduate. Dr. McIntosh was presented with the award for making an out- standing contribution to the well- being of exceptional childred by York University professor Made- line Hardy who said: "I consider it a great honour to be asked to make the presentation of the second Council for Exceptional Children in Canada Award to educator John McIntosh. I have worked closely with Dr. McIntosh during the past five years and have come to respect and admire hint more the longer I have known him. Dr. John, as he is affectionately known among his CEC friends, has a most enviable pre and post-retirement record in his work , for exceptional children. For this he was well prepared. With a solid rural background behind him, he left Huron County for Toronto where he eventually completed three degrees at the University of Toronto: a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, a Master of Arts in Social Philosophy and a Doctorate in Educational Psycho- Smiles A harried mother observes that at Christmas the kids hang up their stockings."After that, it's a -full year before any one of them hangs up anything again."

Successful teaching experience culminated in his appointment as Inspector of schools for the North York Board of Education where he developed a comprehensive service system over a fourteen year period and where he was an early advocate of some of our most modern concepts in Special Education such as normalization, - integration and mainstreaming, for Dr. McIntosh refused to work only in special ed and retained his contact in regular education as well. Still energetic, ,upon retirement in 1968, he became the first general secretary of the CEC Canadian Committee and" since then, by his personal dedication and effort, has brought the In the days when Britannia ruled thb waves she - was undoubtedly helped by the fact that her sailors, in their voyages to the far-flung outposts of the empire, had discovered how to ward of i scurvy. This unpleasant disease, charthetized by weakness,• anemia and spongy gums, is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C. In the days, before refrigera- tion, mariners were particularly susceptible to it because they lived for months at a time on salted meat and rlo vegetables or fruit. ,It became known as sea scurvy. And so the British sailors; needing all their strength to colonize the world, loaded their ship witlithe humble but durable lime. (And that incidentally, is how they and their compa triots on land came to be known as Limeys).) Not that the lime is the only source of Vitamin C; other citrus fruits like lemons and oranges contain considerable amounts; and it's also found in 'varying Noble Grand Mrs. Margaret Consitt presided at the meeting of Amber Rebekah Lodge on Wed- nesday evening assisted by the Vice Grapd, Mrs. Bertha Mac- Gregor.

Retired again in July 1974, Dr. McIntosh is still active. He is an active layman in the United Church of Canada, and in the company of his wife who is a medical doctor and his children and grandchildren, enjoys a rich life. Dr. John, we ask you to accept this award and in honouring you thus we ask that you grace us with your continued interest in us and presence among us for we cherish you and what you represent.," degrees in most other fruits and vegetables. Interestingly enough. human beings are among the few crea- tures whose bodies don't manu- facture4heir own Vitamin C -- so we have to get the vitamin, also known as ascorbic acid, from our diet. Dr. T. W. Anderson, a researcher at the University of Toronto 'and author of several articles on Vitamin C. says that the amount of it you need to avoid getting scurvy is about 10 mg dai ly. When you consider that a glass of orange juice contains about 40 mg, it's easy to see why the disease is pretty rare today.. Alghough Anderson recommends an intake of around 100 mg a day, the accepted Canadian Dietary Standard is a minimum of 30 mg a day to maintain the body's store of Vitamin C; he further suggests that this is better taken in dietary form than by tablets, although he notes that overcooking can quickly destroy the ascorbic acid content in vegetables.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson McCartney. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Layton While Dr. Anderson's experi- ments have shown that the massive does of Vitamin C (thousands of milligrams per day), recommended in some quarters for preventing or curing colds, are unnecessary, he found that they didn't do any harm either. He thinks that some increase beyond the normal intake may be helpful in combatt- ing colds, but that the danger of the really big doses is in abandoning them suddenly. There is no doubt that Vitamin C is vital to our daily health, but claimslhat it has a role to play in the cure of heart diseases and mental illnesses are unproven. says D.t Anderson. It is known, though, that stress and cigarette smoking serves to deplete the body's store of ascorbic acid, Today, the sun may have set on the empire. But it's still ripening abundant harvests of Vitamin C -- and you don't have to carry a lime with you to get enough of this important nutrient.

Morley agree to The diamond" mines lot probably were Probly riot worked systematically before 1000 A.D. if they were known that early. Diamonds were found in India only by ac- cident in the search for gold. The most extensive opening of mines in India seems to have occurred in the 16th century. When -the famous French jeweller and traveller, Tavernier, jour- neyed through the country in the 17th century, many of the mines ,were producing vast wealth for the native rulers. Diamonds were found in beds and terraces of ancient rock in the Golconda district. The next most iniportant area is the Panna group of mines, which is still producing today, Many of the world's most famous and large diamonds came from the mines of India. Diamonds were discovered in South Africa shortly before the Indian mines were depleted. In the mean time diamonds were found in Brazil in 1721. For the most part the Brazilian deposits lie , in present riverbeds and in terraces above the rivers. Here too, the occurances were alluvial deposits. Present-day operations in Brazil are 'widely scattered geographically with no signs that the Brazilian deposits are near exhaustian. Diamonds are produced also in Venezuela, Guyana, Borneo and Australia and Russia. In fact Russia is the largest producer to-day outside 4outh Africa. Sources of diamonds have been found and or produced today in commercial quantities in South America, South Africa, and Russia. The African diamond story began in 1867 when a young child found a 21 carat rough diamond. Many of the earlier finds in Africa were alluvial deposits, the same as on other continents, but later finds proved to be vastly different. These deposits were found to extend deep, into the earth, The most famous mines in South Africa became known as Dutoitspan, Jagersfontein, Bultfontein, DeBeers, Kimberley, Wesselton and Premier. These mines today produce much of the world supply along with the alluvial deposits on the Gold Coast, Angola, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and The Congo. ... Continued ...
