Reflections
(by Ida Ann Blackwell)
The fifth meeting of the
Zurich I "Reflections" was held
on Monday, March 18, at the
home of Elaine Love. The
meeting was opened by the
president with the 4-H Pledge.
We discussed our daily upkeep
and care of our skin. The four
types of skin are (1) dry; (2)
normal; (3) oily arid (4) comb -
ination. Ruby Beierling (our
local Vanda Beauty Counselor)
demonstrated a facial. We learn
ed that there were three steps
in a facial, the first step being
the cleansing; the second step,
toning and the third step, prot-
ection. After the demonstrat-
ion we worked on our projects,
and munched on cheese and
crackers accompanied with
chocolate milkshakes and tarts.
The next meeting will be held
on Monday, March 25 at the
home of Trudy Vandenboomen.
170 recommendations that would
work extensive changes in the
course of policing for the future.
A drastic reduction in the
number of police forces in Ont-
ario has been recommended by
a task force as a means of
averting cost crisis. The Task
Force on policing found two
potential threats to the quality
of police work and one of its
suggested solutions is eliminat-
ing more than 100 forces to mak(
more efficient use of blue unif-
ormed manpower. The report
recommends that the number of
operating forces by cut from
the present level of 179 to bet-
ween 30 and 40. It would leave
21 city and 10 regional • police
forces. In addition there would
be 29 agreement areas in the
south and 10 in the north areas,
where through agreement pol-
icing would be handled by the
OPP or large neighbouring force.
The policing Bill in Ontario in
1972 was $229.3 million and
had average an annual rate of
increase better than 1610. The
cost is outstripping the Munic-
ipality's ability to pay to the
point where in six years spending
demands would be $55 million
more than the cash available,
the report said.
Ontario is willing to see the
price of Western Canadian crude
oil rise to $6.00 a barrel but
only if it is going to stay there
for a least two years. Energy
Minister Darcy McKeough said
he does not want a price rise on
April 1st, the date the current
Federal freeze is scheduled to
expire to be just the first step up
the ladder to $7.00 then $S. 00
and on up to whatever the world';
monopoly price might be. The
Federal Government has frozen
the price of Western crude at
ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS
$4, 00 a barrel until March 31.
Mr. McKeough strongly attacked
the desire of the producing Prov-
inces, Alberta and Saskatche-
wan to raise the price to the
world level of about $10.50 a
barrel. The Energy Minister
THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1974
said art increase to $6.00 would
add approximately 6¢ a gallon
to the cost of heating oil and
gasoline in Ontario. A jump to
$10.50 a barrel would add al-
most 200 a gallon. This "flies
in the face of national interest,
McKeough said, The net imp-
act on. Ontario of a move to
$6.00 crude would be to add
cost of $350 million a year to
people of the Province. Alberta'
net benefit would be $750
million.
Thought about the cost
of prescriptions
lately?
You could do something
about it.
Different brands of the same quality
drug vary widely in price.
Next time, when you need c..
prescription, ask this question, "Am I
getting the lowest cost drug according
to PARCOST?"
PARCOST is a program that assures
you of "Prescriptions At Reasonable COST"
— use it! Your doctor and pharmacist know
about it through the PARCOST Index of
quality drugs,
Think PARCOST— choose a
