The student is Mr. Jay Madsen who was recently elected as Vice-President of the Scarborough College Student council. Through out his tenure at Scar- borough College, Mr. Madsen's involvement in the college has been extensive. He is a member of the committee that makes all | decisions involving student academic appeals. This committee meets frequently in order to rule on the many and varied problems that students encounter. Mr. Madsen's attendance at these meetings has been impeccable. Last fall the Scarborough More money milk madness? Dear Sir: The alarming statement by the Ontario Milk Market- ing board that milk will go up another 3c a quart or more. not only hits the poor with children but our nations health as a whole. Milk is an essential nutrient containing some of the most needed vitamins and minerals, not only for children but adults alike. Surveys have shown two of the most deficient...calcium and ribo- flavin (B-2) both in milk, can seriously affect our health. Milk contains essential pro- tein(complete), Vitamins A & D needed to fight infection, prevent night blindness, defective teeth and gums, (Vitamin D regulates the use of calcium and phosphorus in the formation of teeth and bones so vital to children). Deficiency can cause retar- ded growth, lack of vigor and muscular weakness. Dr. Zak Sabry, head of Canada's $2.5 million nutri- tion survey reported that 'one third of our medical costs go to repair the dam- ages of malnutrition". In- creasing the price of milk by 45 per cent in the period of one year is eriminal, espec- ially when the Ontario Milk Marketing Board spent $1,000,000.00 in advertising milk this last year. People who eat '"'empty" sugar- filled cereals (some have up to 41 per cent sugar), get most of their food value from the milk....not the cereal. Instead of wasting the $1: million on advertising (1973 spent $750,000.00) the Ontario Milk Marketing Board could return the $1 million to the farmers to keep the price down (control the price of feed grains), or quarts of the "white gold" to the poor. Yours for better health, | Dean J. Kelly. give 2 million College Student Council (§.C.S.C.) appointed Mr. Madsen as Chairman of the Scarborough College Student Council Constitutional Review Committee. In this capacity, Mr. Madsen was responsible for the revision and updating of the rules by which the Scarborough Col- lege Student council governs itself. Continual revision and updating is fundamental to the existance of the Student Councik. The often complex debate at meetings requires frequent reference to the constitutional statutes which must be clearly worded in order to avoid ambiguous and misleading interpretations of the con- stitution. Mr. Madsen has proven to be a capable and forthright person while in positions of responsibility at Scar- borough College. He deserves commendation for his past efforts. As Vice- President of the 1975-1976 Student Council he will serve the students in a sincere and able fashion. Hopefully, more Port Perry students will follow in Mr. Madsen's footsteps. Sincerely, John O"Donohue, President, Student Council. Young people a good investment March 24, 1975 The Editor, Co Port Perry Star. Dear Sir: I was extremely interested in the article recently pub- lished in the Port Perry Star concerning the Community becoming a classroom for high school students. 1 thought how good it was for a community and school to work together in aiding the development of the lives of it's young people. In a day and age when 22 million Canadians own 15 billion dollars in investments, it is a relief to understand that a community is undertakitig more valuable and lasting investments. I felt that the local businessman who was quoted hit the nail on the head when he said he figured he was investing in the future - our young people. For the past three years I've had the privilege of working with young people at Port Perry Baptist Church. The more I work and communigate with them the clearer I gee that there is a God consciousness in all of us, and yet I feel that this spiritual dimension is often neglected or suppressed in the lives of many of today's youth. When this dimension is left out, there is a vacuum in one's existence. This is the mostimportant area of their 'being. For this reason we are investing time in the lives of young people. As a Youth Group (we call ourseves C.F.C. - "Crusad- ers for Christ") we are instructed in the Bible week- ly. It's there we find that Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the LIFE". Now don't run away! None of us are fanatical in any way. We are simply a group of ordinary people who have found this to be a not-so- ordinary truth in our lives. I'm finding out more and more that Bible study neither turns off or scares off teenagers. Many are starv- ing for it. At least our numbers haven't dropped - they're growing. We are averaging 36 young people at our meetings weekly. These kind of results prove it is meaningful and that a need is being met. It can't be knocked. But isn't it good to see young people enjoying what they're doing? Our Youth Chorale participated in -a singing contest recently and the adjudicator commented on all the smiling happy faces. She said "it does -.something._for_you'..- And-it sure does - to see teenagers who have found the answer to life, have purpose, and enjoy themselves. It really does something for you. I find that young people are willing ana wanting to participate in all kinds of activities. Whether it's visit- ing people, preparing a pro- gram, or Bible Study, or planning a sports activity, they participate. Oh, and by the way, our hockey. team won the cup for our Church Hockey League. And one of the greatest assets we have on the team is our screaming excitable cheer leaders. It's certainly not the easiest work in the world, but it's worth everything when you see attitudes deve- loped for the good, and lives developed and changed for the better. It gives a good- sense of satisfaction to be able to invest in lasting values - and to be seeing young lives being invested for Christ. Yours truly, David Payne Youth Sponsor, Port Perry Baptist Church. i Charges irresponsibility in using anonymous letter Dear Sir: Letters to the editor often create controversy. all to the good if different opinions on important mat- 'ters are discussed respon- sibly. However, anonymous personal attacks are not res- ponsible and 1 very much regret your ignoring the con- vention of not publishing unsigned letters, unless clearly personal matters are disclosed, in your issue of Mar. 12, 1975. "Think it over, Mesdames Catty, you are both asking for the best of both worlds but deny it to the rest of the world's population. Is that an honourable or compas- sionate reaction of a really thinking person?" Both my daughter and I consider this remark to border on the slanderous. Neither of us in any way wishes to deny anyone their rights. Change is inevitable. As responsible citizens we must all do our This is: best to ensure the results ot change to be beneficial for the majority of the populat- ion and that adequate com- pensation is provided for those who are forced to re-locate. In the case of the Pickering Airport, steps have been taken, including a public inquiry, to see this has been done. While an apology from your anonymous correspon- dent is unlikely, one from you, Sir, is, we 'believe, in order. Yours truly, Liz Catty, Suzanne Catty. Editor's note We honored the wish of the author of the Mar. 12 letter to remain anonymous, although we have the name on file. We did not at the time of publication, and do not now, consider the remarks to be personal attacks or slanderous.
