levels in the mill pond have been blamed
for the collapse of a 20-ft. section of the
Lower Town Dam last Thursday night. The
major problem now is not how to rebuild it,
but who is responsible for the structure.
Wingham Town Council and the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority both claim
the dam belongs to the other. So until some
decision is made as to who is responsible
for the structure and who will pay for its
repair, the water drains slowly through the
breach—and it may do so for sortie time.

The fellow in the TV
commercial whose • snuffles,
snorts and sneezes seem to come
to an abrupt halt within seconds
of taking "instant relief" typifies
our desire for lightning cures.
Even though we don't really
believe in the man's instant
return to health and happiness,
something rubs of — an
increasing reliance on pills and
potions.
Nowhere is this more t rue than
with the so-called mood
modifying' drugs.
These are being swallowed in
ever-increasing numbers to
relieve anxiety, tension and
depression — and to soothe
troubled nerves.
Chief among the minor
tranquilizers are diazepam and
chlordiazepoxide - marketed,
respectively, as Valium and
Librium and under other trade
names. v .
In many ways, both have
served us well. Coming on the
scene in the '50s, they have
replaced the more dangerous
barbiturates to some. degree.
They do what they claim to do,
and they pose no undue threat of
addictive or overdose problems.
For many people whO have
transient problems with anxiety
or depression that don't call for
full-fledged psychiatric help, they
have proved a welcome crutch.
But some addiction researchers
are alarmed at the increases in
consumption of these minor
tranquilizers. They say that, in
many cases, anxiety or tension
relief from popping a pill may be
only a temporary solution; that
the poppers may just be masking
the problem, rather than seeking,
out its cause and cure.
A contributing factor is that
family physicians, who prescribe
70 percent of these drugs simply
don't have the time to talk to the
patient•at ,length — and perhaps
to prescribe a new lifestyle, So
they write a prescription inst ead.
And the same family doctors are
understandably reluctant to refer
patients to a psychiatrist for what
may amount to a condition one GP
describes as "chronic
uptightness."
And yet most of us have come
to expect instant relief from what
ails us — from chemicals., Many
doctors agree that a lot of minor

tension and anxiety problems can
be solved by changing our
patterns of diet and exercise. But
a GP who sees 50 or more patients
a day just isn't in a position to
provide tailor-made advice ab out
lifestyle —even if he thought
people would follow it.
What that means is that we
have to re-educate ourselves
about undue reliance on
tranquilizers: if you have to take
them rand some people do) make
sure your physician is aware of
what other drugs you're taking,
and whether you drink alcolhol.
Although both diazepam and
chlordiazepoxide are
comparatively harmless, they can
interact with other pharm-
aceuticals — and with alcohol
But if youre like the man in the
commercial — looking for a
quickie cure — you probably wont
find it in that little bottle of pills.'
And there are other ways' to
relieve tension, to control st ress
factors and bring down blood
pressure. Systematic exercise is
one obvious method. But some of
the mind-over-matter activities,
like Yoga, t—iirgraelp too.
