= 18-PORT PERRY STAR-Wednesday, Dec. 5th, 1973 = Sic] BILL comes to being prodigal with natural resources that are going to be exhausted and can never be replaced. And I haven't even mentioned such ridiculosities as electric tooth-brushes and electric carving knives. Don't get me wrong. I'm no Spartan. I'll drive to work rather than walk. And leave "that great 'hulking, rusting monster, that required so much energy to be built and burns up so much more, sitting in the parking lot all day. The point is, I could walk to work, and it wouldn't hurt me. In fact, it would be jolly good for me. And I don't expect my wife to get out the scrub-board and wash her hair in rain- water. But it might be jolly good for her, if she had to. Women, and men, have too much time these days to sit around and worry about their nerves. Our fairly immediate ancestors didn't have time for nerves and ulcers. They didn't need pick-up pills to get going. There was no alternative to just getting going. They didn't need three martinis to whet their appetites. They were just plain hung. Nor did they need sleeping pills to get off at "night. They were just plain pooped. I'm not scared of an energy crisis. It, might even be interesting. Anyway, I have, my own energy crisis every day, when the alarm goes off at 7:15. That's what I call a real crisis.

First report on Nutrition Canada National Survey " Norm Cafik, Parliament- sary Secretary to the Minister "of Health and Welfare, the Honourable Marc Lalonde, recently . announced the publication of the . first Report of the © Nutrition Canada National Sutvey. This first Report of the Nat- ional Survey is the result of more than three years of research, - implementation and analysis. Mr. Cafik underlined that Nutrition Canada was the -most comprehensive nutri- tion survey undertaken any- where in the world. Basic findings of the Nutrition Canada Report confirm many of the nutrition problems which have been suspected for several years and some of the findings are very astounding. An analysis of the results revealed no con- sistent effect of income, sea- son, community type or place of residence on the nutrition status. The Nutri- tion Canada Survey shows that a large proportion of adults in Canada are over- weight, and, surprisingly, that caloric intakes alone do not seem to account for this problém. People who are overweight and those who are not, do not differ greatly, in the number of calories they consume. Mr. Cafik pointed out that the aim of this survey is to formulate a National Nutrit- ion Policy which will respect the priorities set in this Report. Mechanisms for monitoring the nutritional "health of the nation will be established. Systems will be devised for dealing with nutrition problems before they reach serious propor- tions. © Any future action, explains Mr. Cafik, will be based*on the following priorities: strengthen the regulatory role in ensuring that Canadian food supply is- nutritionally adequate, de- velop effective programs to inform . and educate the Canadian public, "gear the training of health profess- _ionals to meet the present nutritional needs of society, develop systems for monitor- ing and surveillance of the nutritional health of Cana- dians. These aims summ- arize nutritional priorities suggested in this report, which also recognizes the right of every Canadian to be well nourished.
