No Heaven can come to us
unless our hearts find rest in
today.
TAKE HEAVEN
No peace lies in the future,
which is not hidden in this
present little instant.
TAKE PEACE
The gloom of the world is but
a shadow
Behind it, yet within our
reach, is joy
There is radiance and glory in
the darkness
Could we but see and to see
we have only to look.
1 BESEECH YOU
TO LOOK
And so at this time I greet you
Not as the world sends
greetings
But with profound esteem
And with prayer, that for you
now and forever, the day
breaks and the shadows flee
away.

police commissions by other
Cabinet appointees. The
Liberal party intended to
push for major amendments
to the bill - amendments
which the Government was
not prepared to .accept. The
Police Act now requires a
board of police com-
missioners to consist of the
head of council, a county
district judge selected by
Cabinet and a third person
chosen by Cabinet.
The Government wanted to
change the law to require the
council head and two persons
appointed by the Cabinet to
comprise a Board. Liberals
wanted to go a step further
and prohibit judges from
sitting on police com-
missions. We also wanted to
give municipalities the power
to appoint two of the three
commissioners - in effect
taking control of the com-
mission away from Queen's
Park.
The Solicitor -General
quietly withdrew the bill from
this week's order of business,
commenting that our
amendments were too radical
and he wanted time to gather
reaction to possible broader
Police Act changes from
municipalities, police
associations, etc.
Amendments to the Ontario
Mental Health Act, intended
to improve the civil liberties
of psychiatric patients and
protect the confidentiality of
their hospital recrods have
been introduced. The
amendments are described
by the Minister as "interim
changes of the Act that
require immediate con-
sideration". It is understood
that while the proposed
legislation• might die on the
order paper, it would form

discussions within legal and
health profession circles
about changes in the Mental
Health Act.
The amendments would
reduce the time a person may
be detained involuntarily on
the signature of one doctor -
from 30 days to 72 hours.
During the 72 hour period the
person must be either
released, admitted to a
psychiatric hospital volun-
tarily or admitted in-
voluntarily. A second doctor
would be required to conduct
the psychiatric assessment if
the person is to be admitted
against his will.
Current legislation allows
one doctor to detain -a patient
involuntarily for up to 30
days, if the doctor believes
the person is a danger to his
own safety or the safety of
others.
