REPORT FROM QUEEN'S PARK BY MURRAY GAUNT M.P.P.'HURON-BRUCE INTENDED FOR LAST WEEK , This week in the Legislature, the Provincial Environment Minister tabled a bill introducing the long-awaited legislation requiring environmental assessment of the impact of .major construction pro- jects. The bill will require companies, municipalities and government ministries or agencies to prepare such an assessment before, projects are approved, and the Environment. Ministry will then either approve the project, suggest changes or refer the matter to an environment- al board for public hearings. This legislation will initially apply only to government projects, but after "a couple of hearings" will apply to municipalities and private com- panies. The Minister indicated that it is not the intention at this time to pay expenses for those appearing before the board, and told the House that the Govern- ment final deciiion on which projects go ahead and what pollution control measures are required. This legislation will disband the eight- member environmental hearing board, and substitute a' new 'environmental assessment board with at least five members appoint- ed by the government. Under the new law, the Ministry can force installation of the right anti-pollution measures before a project is allowed, and a major project, coming within the scope of the new legislatiori, is described as any plant "that has an effluent discharge, either in air or water, any company that has dangerous emissions". • William A.

TODAY'S HEALTH by David Woods In the days when Britannia ruled the waves she was undoubtedly helped by the' fact that her sailors, in their voyages to the far-flung outposts of the Empire, had dis- covered how to ward off scurvy. This unpleasant disease, charac- terized by weakness, anemia and spongy gums, 'is caused by a defi- ciency of vitamin C. In the days before refrigeration, mariners were particularly susceptible to it because they lived for months at a time on salted meat and no vegetables or. fruit, It became knOwn as sea scurvy. And so the British sailors, need- ing all their strength to. colonize the world, loaded their ships with the humble but durable lithe. (And that, incidentally, is how they and their compatriots on land became to be known as Limeys.) Not that the' lime is the only -source of vitamin C; other citrus . fruits like lemons and 'oranges con- tain considerable 'amounts; and it's also found in varying degrees in Most other fruits and vegetables. Interestingly enough, huthan be- ingi are among the few creatures whose bodies don't manufacture their 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 THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL LUCKNOW, ONTARIO What's New At Huronview Mrs. Muriel Harrison of Goderr - ich was guest soloist for the Sunday morning chapel service concluded by the Chaplain of the 1-lome, Rev.

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: Although 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 des- troy the ascorbic acid content iu vegetables. While Dr: Anderson's eiperi- ments have shown that the massive doses 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 combatting 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 claims that it has a role to play in the cure of heart diseases and men- tal illnesses are unproven, says Dr. 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 c • important nutrient.
