SI' CE • DEPENDAISAL:11T TODAYS CHILD You might guess from Jerry's expression that he is a lively boy and indeed he is. Jerry is alert, active and constantly on the go. Just now he is on mild medication to quiet him down a little. This lad has too much energy to sit down with a book but he will watch a few favorite television programs. • Jerry is in Grade Two and is felt to have average ability. He is not working up to his potential, however - perhaps because he is so active. Tall and slightly built, eight-year-old Jerry has blue eyes, blonde hair and fair skin. Information on his background is limited but he is probably Anglo-Saxon. Jerry's foster home is in the country where he loves the carefree life and the open spaces. He is good friends with dogs and cats and is fond of hunting for frogs and snakes or whatever- other small creatures he can find. Since Jerry is accustomed to children of all ages, he can fit into a family wherehe will have brothers and sisters. However, the Children's Aid Society hopes there will_ not be many other children in his adoption home so Jerry will get an abundance of attention. To inquire about adopting Jerry, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. Ronnenburg Insurance Agency ARE NOW PAYING A HIGH OF -R. TRUST CERTIFICATES MONWTON,.

The Ontario Government came under fierce attack in the Legislature this week from both Opposition parties over the Province's increased sales tax, and was challenged •by Liberal Leader Robert Nixon to take the issue to the people in a general election. Mr. Nixon described Mr. White as smiling gravedigger who is sealin g the fate of his party with this tax". N,D.P. Leader Stephen Lewis said the tax increases were cruel and hit poor and lower income people particularly hard. All Opposition Members spoke on second reading of the Bill to increase the sales tax from 5% to 7%. It turned into the strongest attack yet on the Davis Government by the ..Oppo- sition. The main thrust of the Opposition argument was that , the sales ,tax was a regressive tax and this increase would be Inflationary. John MacBeth (P. C. York West) was named Chair- man of a Committee appointed to investigate the building of Ontario Hydro's new head of- fice. The 11 member Select Com- mittee of the Legislature has been named to look into the circumstances surrounding the granting of a contract to Canada Square Corporation Ltd. , to build new offices for Ontario Hydro at the corner of Uni- versity Avenue and College Street. The Committee, according to the Chairman, is prepared to look into charges of political patron- age.. It has been alleged that Canada Square got the Hydro contract .because of Canada Square President Moog's per- sonal friendship with the Premier, and because he don- ated to the Progressive Con- servative Party. The Globe and Mail in a front page story last week has said that Ontario Hydro paid a firm of architects $1,485,000 for plans of a new office and then decided not to build the offices itself. I am on the Committee along with James Hullbrook from Sarnia for the Liberal Party. There have been a number of grants made this week under the Conservation Authorities. Act. They are as follows. (1) A $325 • grant for initial capital development in the Hehn Wildlife Area to the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority. (2) A $1,500 grant for initial development programme in the Brussels Conservation Area to the maitla.nd Valley Conservation Authority. (3) A $1,025 grant to the Saugeen Authority for capital im- provement in the Brucedale Con- servation area in Bruce Town- ship. (4) A $3,250 grant to the Saugeen Authority for capital im- provements in the Russell Con- servation area located in Kin- cardine Township. The hazards of cigarette smoking are well-documentedi, but how about the hazards of other. kinds of smoking? • • The latest government survey concluded that about 30 percent of university students in this country are marijuana smokers. Other surveys have found higher percentages and also indicated increasing rates among high school students and even preteen- agers. Because marijuani is ellegal o research has been severely re- stricted. Few studies have ex- plored the effects on the lungs at the New York 'University Medical Center, these findings may have important implications for the long-term effects of mari- juana smoking. In his own pilot studies with people smoking pot, Dr. Haas found that some sub- jects developed similar symp- toms as hashish smokers: sore throats, hoarseness, and trouble in the upper respiratory area. He also foulnd marked differences between the effects of smoking cigarettes and marijuana. Ciga- rette smoking narrows the air passages in the lungs, while pot smoking appears to expand those passages. It will take years to amass the facts about smoking mari- juana.

But some experiments have suggested a direct corre- lation between smoking hashish, which is a strobger substance than marijuana, and chronid bronchitis. A recent study of 31American soldiers found that most of the men-developed symptoms of lung trouble after smoking hashish re- gularly for three to four months. Nine men developed severe shortness of breath and coughed up mucus, which indicated dis- tress in the ower respiratory tract. According to Dr. Albert Haas Facts missing on marijuani .;141E- gitUSELt.
