They are uneducated and have absolutely not imagination, Their transportation is primitive!" I disagree. I feel that Canada is progressing. Although its north- land is cold and sparselyipopulaat- ed, it is now showing signs of. de- velopment. Oil companies are ext- plopg for minerals and oil. The inhabitants of this so-called, "un- liveai?le" land have managed to survive. They have managed to keep their way of life to some ex- tent. They are now being educat: ed and live in better houses but they still believe in their own cup - toms. The Eskimos and their cul- ture make up a part of our great nation. Since most of Canada's popula- tion is situated near the border it is greatly influenced by its neigh- bors.

The Commission has been instructed to examine the longgrange electric power planning concepts of Ontario Hydro for the period 1983-1993 and beyond, td relate them to -provincial planning, to the utilization of electrical energy and to environmental, energy and socio-economic factors; and to re- port on a priority basis 'on the need for certain Ontario Hydro projects present- ly under consideration. To ensure that its reports will reflect the views of a representative .cross- section of the. people .of Ontario, the Commission is anxious to meet at this early stage in a preliminary and informal fashion with as many persons, groups and organizations as possible. Accordingly, the Commission has decided to hold a series of Preliminary Public Meetings around the province to inform the public of the Commission's activities, to encourage the public to participate in them and to invite com- ments and questions on the manner in which the Commission should conduct its inquiry. The Preliminary Public Meetings will be as informal as possible and will not involve the calling of evidence or cross-examination of witnesses. However, they will be followed in due course by appropriate public hearings during which there will be ample opportunity for concerned citizens to express their views on the many aspects of electric power planning which touch and concern every person in this province. Preliminary and informal meetings will be held in: ri1 Ifiti WINGIIAM Nov. 27: 8 p.m. Preliminary Public Meeting, S. E. Madill Secondary School, Gymnasium, 231 Victoria East, Wingham. The Commission invites interested persons, groups and organizations to attend these Preliminary Public Meetings: 1. to learn about the terms of reference, objectives and implications of the Commission; 2. to discuss with the Commission a list of the issues, either general or local, which the Commission ought to consider; and 3. to discuss with the Commission the manner in which its. inquiry ought to be carried out, the procedures, timing and location of the public hearings, the dissemination of information to the public and the use of this inquiry as a means of increasing the public's awareness of the relationship between electric power and the duality of life in Ontario. Because of the nature and purpose of the Preliminary Public Meetings, lengthy written submissions would not be appropriate but all persons, groups and organizations, particularly those who for any reason may not be able to attend the aforesaid Preliminary Public Meetings, are invited to submit their views on the above-mentioned matters briefly in writing by letter of other written communication delivered or mailed to the Commission not latet than four days prior to a Meeting. The Commission's address is: Royal Commis- sion on Electric Power Planning, 7th Floor, 14 Carlton Street, Toronto, Ontario M5B 1K5 and its telephone number (call collect) is: 1-416-965-2111.

ELLIOTT If you have seen someone walk- ing around the school this year wearing a suit and a tie, -and look- ing like a member of the Toronto Argonaut's Football Team, it is probably Mr. Elliott, Althoiiiih.he enjoys most sports, his favorite activities are bowling and soft- ball. Even though Mr. Elliott is an outdoor man he still finds time to read a good book. After Mr. Elliott finished ele- mentary and secondary school at Sarnia, he spent 4 years at Waterloo University in Waterloo, taking Mathematics. It only makes sense then that he teaches grade 9 and 10 Mathematics. Last year you- might have had Mr. Elliott if you took boys' Physical Education because Mr. Elliott supplied for two weeks when Mr. Campbell was injured. Mr. Elliott coaches the senior basketball team and therefore is a very busy man. Mr. Elliott hopes to be here for awhile because he likes the school and the enthusiasm of the Students. He feels we are good students which leads him to make the statement that he l lees teaching. His favorite colour is blue and he loves eating spaghetti. Mr. Elliott lives in Wroxeter. He hopes in his years to come at F. E. Madill he will be able to maintain his good relationship with the students and I'm sure he will, because of his outgoing personality. • Good luck in the future, Mr. Elliott. —by Mary Anne Alton School Daze ,. After the recent student - teacher ping-pong game, Mr. Hawkins, triumphantly bouncing a ping-pong ball, waltzed into the Math 551 room, "I have for sale (bounce, catch), a ping-pong ball (bounce, catch), which is a champion ping-pong ball (bounce, catch), which last night (bounce, catch), remained unde- feated (bounce, catch), because of the two expert players (bounce, catch), for the low cost (bounce, catch), of only $100 (bounce, catch), which next year will be (bounce, catch), $1000 (bounce, catch) . It will be per- sonally autographed (bounce, catch), by myself and Mr. McLennan (bounce, catch) . Any prospective buyers please con- tact me (bounce, miss)." In History class the other day, current Americans were heated- ly being discussed. One particu- lar topic was about a man, who although was a millionaire, had accepted a $10,000 bribe, which ruined his political career. Mrs. Campbell, amazed by this fact, questioned a fellow history teacher why a' millionaire would want "a lousy $10,000." To this the other teacher retorted, "How do you think he became a million- aire?" Caveat Emptor BUYING LARGE QUANTITIES OF BEEF With the consumption of beef increasing steadily the consumer should think about the good and bad points before buying it in bulk. Before you buy beef make sure your family will eat all the differ- ent cuts and kinds of meat. If they only like certain cuts there is no point in buying large quantities. Less tender cuts such as braising ribs, stewing beef and soup bones can be made into tasty meals at a reasonably low cost if you have the time to cook these cuts at a slow rate. If your family will only eat certain kinds and cuts keep your eyes open for specials on. your favorite kind of meat. eg. If hamburger is on sale buy four or five three pound packages. You can cut up the meat later as you need it. Another item of concern is the amount of edible meat you are receiving from the carcass. There is usually about 25 per" cent 0 w w to th hi is f e. carcass 14440 a t it/14"1"e). { etc. You have to pay for the hanging weight of thecarcass.not the amount of edible meat by itself. This is very important to remember. Weigh the meat after you bring it home to see if you got ttie weight of the meat you paid for. A hind quarter is the most expensive per pound and a front quarter is the cheapest per pound. You also must know the quality of beef you want. The highest quality is Al which of course is the highest price. So if you don't mind a low quality of beef and more waste (fat and bones) you could save money by buying it. Cutting, wrapping, and freezing costs are usually added onto the prise per pound. Freezer space could be another problem to cope with. You must have facilities to store the beef you have purchased. If the butcher does not freeze the meat remember "you cannot freeze more than fifty pounds of meat in a sixteen cubic foot freezer in twenty-four hours." If you put more than this in a freezer this size you are taking the risk of your meat spoiling. In some areas you can pay to have your meat stored and frozen in meat lockers. For every thirty to forty pounds of frozen meat you need one cubic foot of freezer space. If you want to save money by buying large quantities you must be prepared to pay the cost all at once or else you will pay back the money you saved in interest. If you have one of your own beasts butchered be absolutely sure that you are getting your own meat back because some butchers have been known to ex- change the meat for someone else's meat which is tough and tasteless. One way to make sure your meat is fit for human consump- tion. is to look for the "Canada Approved" seal. You should also buy beef from a butcher you know. The grades of beef are indi- cated by colors. "Red indicates Canada A, Blue — Canada B, Brown -- Canada C, and Black — Canada D. The best guide to buying beef is to look into the matter and find out the pros and cons of the plan. —Jeff Cardiff 11B Smoking and The Non -Smoker Non-smokers are subjected daily to large quantities of annoy- ing and health damaging smoke. If a non-smoker spends one day in a smoke-filled room, this is equivalent to smoking one pack of cigarettes. The life expectancy of a 25 year-old man who smokes two packs of cigarettes a day is eight and three -tenths years less than that of the comparable non- smoker. The average smoker (two packs a day) inhales more carbon monoxide in 16 hours than is allowed under the current Na tional Air Quality Standards — a • non-smoker in the same room would get half as much. One smoker in four minutes can raise the tar content .of the air 36 times the level considered safe. There is six times' as much sidestream smoke produced as there is smoke inhaled. Side stream smoke is more polluted because it isn't filtered. Being in a smoke-fifled room for two hours is equivalent to smoking 10 cigar- ettes. Smoking is a definite health hazard. Hydrocaulons are the cancer-causing agents in cigar- ettes. Smoking in females between the ages of 12 and 18 years has in- creased 15 to 18 per cent in the last-fi`"e r `iv Unborn infants may be affected by the mothers who smok'e and may 'become undernourished or be born prematurely. If pregnant- non-smoking regnantnon-smoking women breathe in tobacco fumes they too can de- velop the same problems with their babies. Chances that children with smoking parents will get pneu- monia or bronchites the first year of life double. Lung cancer in wo- men who smoke is five times greater than in the non-sniokers. Smoking causes lung cancer, oral •cancer, cancer of the larynx, etc. These are all from the tar and nicotine in, the cigarette. Pipe smoking is recognized as a cause of lip cancer. There is clear evi- dence that inhaled cigarette smoke is the leading cause of lung Cancer. Cigarette smoking is casually related to lungcancer in men; the data for woen is less extensive but points in the same direction. What can be done? We could ban all tobacco ads and increase the taxes on tobacco. We should try to educate young people about the dangers of smoking and we could follow the example of some states in the United States. They have made it illegal to smoke in certain public places. Perhaps, the time has come for the non- smoker to stand up for his rights. INSPIRATION: Ours is a world where people don't know what they want and . are willing to go through hell to get it. —Don Marquis Through our iivee we inevitably. have to distinguish wrong from right.

To regulate these standards is possibly even more difficult than it wasto create them. Most of society has received the act of competition as right.. Sure it's right as long as you win. Aslong as you, and your team, and your community, and your country win, it's great. As babies we meet our first challenge which is the honor .of competing for the "prettiest baby" award. Afterward the child is strolled home frightened by the unaccommodating crowd, screaming his defiance to the sweltering heat, and tired because he missed his nap, all f* a parched blue ribbon. But the parents are in their glory, and together they will receive gratifying recognition from all. Another event is that of small boys ona ball diamond, challeng- ing equally small boys in a game that will someday -develop into baseball. As the home team loses the children shout hatred at kids they don't even know.
