The assessinent of the west- ern ares froin Pickering east to the boundary of Dariingtou is aprproximately $1,500,000,000.

AN EMBARRASSING MOMENT Th e Orno - Clarke Fire Depart- ment on Sunday afternoon when calied to a grass fire on the Les- kard road were somnewhat embar- rassed when it took the mainpowý- or of somne seven or eighit fire- fighters to get the, firt truck, mo- bile. A dead battery did not respond to fire the motor and the depart- ment was temporarily irjmobile uitîl the men put their shoulder to the truck pushing it out of the fire hall onto the streot. With enough momentuin the truck was pushcd into gear and started to carry on it's duty. The firemen were quick to re- spond to the problem n sd only a few moments were wasted in get ting the machine to roll. The department also answered a eall to the Sheli station at Eu- terprise on, Sunday for a grass fire as well as a grass fire Mon- day, late afternoon, on the pro- perty of Mr. I. Tamblyn just off the Taunton road. Concil Arcepts Clerks Resignation The Couicil of the Township -of Clarke accepted the resignation of the clerk, Mr. Bruce Collins, at their April 3rd meeting as of April 6th. A further motion was also car- ried -in that, Mr. Collins would ho paid in lieu of holidays in pro- portion Vo the number of days worked froin January 1.st at the rate of 2 per cent of this salary amount. A motion presented by the deputy-reeve Kirk Entwisle and G.

He saXi t ;t . _ g , knov this. -,f;It A; ongly that projudice ui-a a direct resu1t of a misin- f xm d public, and tried duririg the cvenIng to set the record strýýght. Lie' pvnted out that our pros- lI t sysU-un forces drUg abusers t,ý brc-re cr-minais aieo. Ho stated that crime would net ho n' cessa:ry if drugs wýre legalized He rerninded the listeners that tho underworld dees net want diuýgs lcgalized as it's a good source 0_II (f income at the oxpense of the users sund the non-users. Tliose who cleal in drugs illegally use the, poice and the misinform- ed public Vo enforce and insure their market lu rdrugs, keeping the price ridiculously inflsted. Rec said that for some resson we have' a society that, bas some 1,500 people now dead from drug abuse In New York City alone afraid to -change that figure to maybe three through the logaliz- aion of drugs. The Docto -r reminded the audi- ence that the pro sent society is drug orientated but that hoe saýw favourable, signs of, this chang- ing. I-T said that for somne reason our society feels it must have happiness and painlessness con- tinually amd therefore seeks pis to, attain this fairy tale stateý of excistence. Ho says that the ad- vertisers would have the public beleive that it's not supposed to over geV depressed, or ired, or anxious, that it's suppose to, be in a continuai state of happiness. Ho çonfirmed that happiness was desirable but certainly not as a continuai state sud nervousnoss and depression were normal stat- os of living. Pulls, drugs, etc. are-ý unuatural substances and hoe stat- cd make us worso, not botter as the media would have us think. For jinterest sake, hoe asked the audience te count the number of ron'mnerciais on televisi;on tfor- di-ugs in thoir varied foims lu- ciuding alcohol. A startling fact hoï brought to the 10<4-tUT wasthe uripubhcized deaths ca.uF(ed1by drug interaction whîch occur ini snd out of, hospit- ai-,. Hoeuprsd the audience with the statistic that ýone-third of the d 'eaths which occur in hosý pitals are oausod by drug inter- action,, that is Vo say, bv two dif- feront types of drogs being, ad- miuistered to one Patient, a'nd both trying to take effect despite the 'other, to the eventuai destruc- tion of the body itself. Ho fur- ther stated that most of the at- tempted suicides lu Whitby Psy- chiatric, whore hoe. aiso works, take place while the person is under the influence of prescribed miedicine. Again, with regard to drug abusers, deaths usuaily re- suit not from n overdose of oee specifie drug but rather froin drug interaction. Ho pointed ont that most serlous abusers are multiple abusers takiug more than one type of drug. He inforin- ed his listeners that while some drugs can pili froin overdoses, imost canriot. Furthermore, net 1ail are habit forming.

For those wh'o were interested in seekîig out the, facts, he ree- omrnended highly, two publica- tions, Licit and llicit Drugs, pub- lished by Little and' Brown, and Mystification of ]Drug Abuse, 1y the Editors of Consumer Reports. publi$hed by Harper anid Row and' written by Henry L.ý Leu- nard and Associates. He'said that rio ore is really ini touch witk realit*, particularly those theor- ists at the top, and encouraged the readlng of those books as a step toward understandiçng th*- problemn as it actually exists an4- flot as what it has heen ekploded to be. Dr. Coulson feit that sOcietY'u moral ideas were upside down. Ho said that we worry over con- sorship with regard to violernce and sex and than asked the aud- ience if they had ever hear'd Of anything being cênsored because it, was dishonest. He said that our society makes sure its chîldron knows math but doesn't fol-1owf through with teaching thein hum- an relations. Ho stress;ed the -f act that our present pattern of living has to bo changed, alog ith the way the putblie iîs used ltolokn at things. Ho added that gettbng aiong with poople was roally simple and he had found. that anyone he tried to, treat wîll vinuld try to treat him well ira refurn. r.Coulsoni further contribut- cd the, suggesýtion that soecty take the time and make the ef- fort to relax itseli the nauralý wa.He said that moments al>ne thinking about the things that bother a person helps. once the problem.is sifted Qut froin the mind, he suggested that a person set about to change the pattorn, whieh has created and ,fed the existing problom. Whîle it M'Y take a little more turne and effort than 11popping a pili or takinig a drink", its effect will beo lasting and character building, creating self reliance rather than depend- ence.
