The Town with thousands of dollars expended within the past year on planning and the region adding a further $1.5 million the indication would appear that both levels of government are concerned with planning. Unfortunatley most of the money has been spent in consideration of draft, plans and development while existing problems have gained little or no attention. The business areas in the_smaller centres certainly fall in the group where little attention has been directed. Mr. E. R. Lovekin at a recent meeting stated that we have $1.5 million worth of coloured maps, reports etc. in the region but nothing else to show for it. It is a fact that money is being spent on planning and a considerable amount at that and to date there is little to show for this expenditure. In the matter of Orono the opportunity does appear to present itself where the municipality could take a good look at the centre core area and it may well be that the Reid Hardware property could be used as a parking area, something desperately needed in the Village for the area shoppers. If the Town should purchase such property it could be that they charge it back to those over a period of time to those doing business in the area under a local improvement scheme. Although this may be politcially acceptable there is the fact that all commercial enterprise pay an added business tax and in Orono for what? The Towri has let the parking regulations slip to a point that the business section is now a parking area for everyone, day and night. And even when the works department sends in the street cleaner it is impossible to do anything with some beneficial results. It ||ay be that one would consider that local businessmen should take, the initiative but this will never happen and if the area is to continue as a business Section it will take direction from the municipal council. Its fine to build castles in the sky, but only after some of the existing problems are corrected. Much is ado about opening a new area in Courtice for development. Why not place this emphasis on the existing smaller cemtres in the Town. WE WILL NOW BE AWARE Although some of the metric measurements have been evident over the past year in one form or another it will now come to the fore with the daily report of weather temperature being denoted in Celsius degrees. Many look to a comparison between the two scales but this will only confuse the matter further. It should not be too long before one relates to the new temperature scale and will through experience come to know what 10 or 20 degrees Celsius really means. In a few weeks we will ahve forgotten all about the old system with it put on the back shelf for good. HEALTH FOR ALL On April 1st, April Fool's Day the metric measurement of weather temperature came into effect with the full use of the Celsius measurement. Normal spring temperatures will range from 5 degrees Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius. Freezing point is 0 degrees while boiling, point is 100 degrees. There will be no more 90 degrees in the shade, common in past summers when the fahrenheit measurement measurement scale was in use. Celsius measurements came into use on April 1st for all temperatures and will be thus recorded on all weather reports. The Celsius scale was thus called in honour of Anders Celsius, professor of Astronomy Astronomy at Uppsala Sweden who devised the scale in the earl; You're never too old to hear better Montreal--A free offer of special special interest to those who hear but do not understand words has been announced by Beltone.

Protecting young lungs Teenage and adult non- smokers are speaking up to protect themselves against second-hand smoke. But toddlers toddlers have a tough time speaking at all. Since young children can't defend themselves against -tobacco smoke floating in the air, it's up to parents to get the message. The message rs this: your smoking may be hazardous to your child's health. Researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Tropical Medicine studied the incidence of pneumonia and broçhitis among thousands of children in their early years. They found that youngsters in the first year of life had a higher rate of these two diseases if their parents smoke. The rate was highest when both parents smoked, somewhat less when only one parent smoked, and lowest when both parents were nonsmokers. Tiny lungs have trouble "protecting themselves. Cigarette Cigarette smoke generated by parents' smoking actually doubled the risk of an infant's attack of pneumonia of bronchitis. bronchitis. "Attacks of pneumonia and bronchitis, particularly in the first year of life," say the researchers, "can still result in infant death despite prompt and vigorous treatment." The warning is chilling. Children who have respir- * atory illness in the first year of life, the researchers say, have also been found to be subject to chronic respiratory diseases later in life. Another major study showed showed that respiratory illness among children was twice as common when the parents smoked at home compared to kids who had nonsmoking parents.

He made many worthwhile contributions to scientific knowledge, not the least of which was the therometor based on 100 degrees difference between the freezing and boiling point of water. The Metric system is slowly being brought into use in Canada and as many housewives housewives are aware toothpast has for the past six months been measured under the metric system with few problems existing. In speaking with Mr. Jim Stutt of Stutt's Pharmacy in Orono he points out that toothpaste packaging has been been standardized by law and feels it has been a definite improvement. In the past different different manufactures had different different weight packages and in some cases even if the packages looked similar in size their weight did differ.
