~ Season Ragweed pollen is in the air. It's hay fever season for millions of sneezing people. Pollens that are light enough to be carried by the wind are the chief culprits in most hay fever suffering. Trees, grasses, and weeds all have windborne pollen.

An individual's sneezing season may start in early spring, when tree pollen float into the air, and stretch until fall when the first frost arrives to kill all the pollens. In fact, someone sensitive to dust or animal dander or other air- borne material may suffer all year long. ) The symptoms of so-called hay fever are repeated and prolonged sneezing spells accompanied by a stuffy nose and itching eyes. Though the symptoms are annoying and cause dis- comfort, the disease itself is not dangerous.

If hay fever is untreated, the repercussions from re- peated attacks year after year can be serious. Chronic sinusitis -- inflammation of the sinus cavities -- can result. Growths in the nose, nasal polyps, may occur. In addition, about 30 percent of people with hay fever develop asthma, a wide- spread narrowing of the smaller breathing passages. Most lung diseases are triggered by offending sub- stances in the air we breathe. To find out more about ways to prevent and treat lung diseases of all kinds, contact your lung association.

EXPERIENCE e 6 yrs. on County Council e 9 yrs. on local council (6 yrs. as Reeve of Cartwright) e 5 yrs. on Port Perry Hospital PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday. Sept. 19th, 1973 -- 31 TO ALL RESIDENTS OF THE New Township of Scugog LONNY MARK must withdraw name. I sincerely regret that I am obliged to withdraw my name from among the School Trustee nominees for the October Ist election. On September 14, I was invited to attend Law School at the University of Ottawa. This was a long desired but unforeseen opportunity, which I don't feel I can pass by. There were two main reasons why I was running for the Board of Education. One, I sincerely feel that I had some fresh viewpoints which should be ex- pressed on the Board. Two, I believe that I could have balanced the Board by better representing the feeling of young people. SOME OF THE MAIN ISSUES AS I SEE THEM ARE:- YOUR SCHOOL TRUSTEE should be as near as your telephone: To many people "disappear" when they are elected. If you elect LONNY MARK, he will be available and accessible at anytime to discuss any problem or concern you have. Telephone 985-2304. SCHOOL -COMMUNITY RELATIONS should be solid: It should be easy and convenient for parents to visit their child's school. Parents should feel welcome. Not only parents, but all member of the community should feel welcome not only to enter the school, but also to use the facilities. Too often there is an invisible barrier between the school and the community. This should be overcome. OUR TAX DOLLARS have to be allocated wisely: | deserve the best. We have to be sure that our money is being spent on the things that will do our students the most good. We pay a lot of money for our schools, and we SCHOOL COSTS have to be kept under control: .The Provincial ceiling on education spending are a good thing. They keep the annual rate of increase in school board budgets down to reasonable levels. This policy deserves strong support. But care must be taken not to hurt the quality of education. WE CAN'T FORGET the basics in our schools: Today's students have more varied educational programmes than ever before, and this is good. But we can't overlook the basic subjects. In the elementary schools, reading, writing and arithmetic (the 3 R's) should get first priority. And in high school, the traditional backbone subjects shouldn't be overlooked. Board (3 yrs. as vice-chairman) e 3 yrs. on Central Ont. Planning Board for SOUND, SEASONED LEADERSHIP to head the new "Scugog Council" LAWRENCE MALCOLM for MAYOR To delve into the foregoing issues will produce a number of issues and sub- issues which also must not be avoided. It is my sincerest wish that one of the candidates will adopt and impliment my platform. If one of the elected trustees does adopt my platform, I'll be around both to offer help and ensure its implimentation. My education and ex- perience have I feel qualified me for the position of school trustee and even though I am disappointedly obliged to withdraw, I am still interested and offer any assistance I may be, both to the school trustees and the members of this new community. If I can help anyone with anything related to the school board or education in general, please don't hesitate to call me. I won't be home, but someone will either take a message and foreward it to me or tell you how to get in touch with me. I am disappointed that I will not have the chance to represent you on the school board at this time, but I wish you to consider this as a postponement. I will be back with additional education and experience. As responsible memk.rs of the New Township of Scugog, I urge you to attend the all-candidate meetings and question the candidates. Find out what they are going to do for you. Make sure that the elected trustees live up to their promises. 1 wish to extend a thank you to all those who supported me, and a special thank you to my nominators. I remain at your disposal, Respectfully yours, Lonny Mark
