One waits for them to die, and a new generation to grow up acquainted with the truth from the beginning. So says, Dr. Carlton Fredericks, a leading U.S. nutritionist. The harm inflicted by white flour and refined sugar has finally been recognized by the powerful Journal of the American Medical Association. A recent JAMA article gave a blistering indictment of. refined white flour and sugar as contri- buting to heart and gallblad- der disease, appendicitis, diverticulosis, clotting of the deep veins, hiatal hernia, and cancer of the large intestine. On heart disease the JAMA article remarked "evidence is accumulating that,shows the removal of fiber (such as bran is removed from white flour) from the diet raises cholesterol levels, a process that predisposes to coronary heart disease." (D. P. Burkitt, M.D.). Endorse council in study of noise control Mayor Malcolm Fellow Councillors, and Dear Sirs: We, the undersigned, wish to convey to you, our elected representatives, our deep concern and interest on the - subject of noise '"'pollution' and noise control. We under- stand that this subject is currently under study by the Council, and we wish to endorse our whole-hearted approval. As the population of Port Perry grows, so will the noise level. We feel strongly that now is the time to deal with this matter before it becomes a prime factor in the disruption of the peace and tranquility of everyday living. Thanking you for giving us this opportunity to put our thoughts and feelings on this matter before you. With all due respect, Yours truly, Concerned Citizens. Subscriber recalls 50 years ago Sir: Enclosed find my cheque for renewal of my subscript- ion, as we are going to Europe next month and shall not be here when it expires and should hate to miss an issue. Especially the "Remember When". In the May 14th issue, it recalls, 50 years ago, of the planting on the Hooper farm which I helped at that time. The late Arthur Woodley used todrive usin his truck to work and a Charles Howard was the boss there. We look forward to it every - week, and have been coming to Port every summer for-a month, the last three years, aout will not make it this year. Continued success to you and yours, Sincerely, Raymond Mason, Victoria, B.C. . P.S. T arrived in Port Perry, April 26, 1913.

Fibre, pyridoxine (B-6) and the essential fatty acids in wheat germ (source of Vitamin E) are all removed and yet very few, if any, widely consumed foods can provide these nutrients in comparable quantities." (B-6 is often deficient in women taking the pill). Researcher and author, Dr. Erwin DiCyan states that flour is high in cadmium, a poisonous micronutrient believed to increase high blood pressure and heart disease (from book Vitamins in Your Life, Simon and Schuster 1974).

My wife and I are really grateful for the treatment we received in your town. On Saturday evening, May 31, while travelling home, our car (which is a Plymouth) devel- oped a leak in the water hose. We had been stopped there approximately one minute when one of your good citizens stopped to help. He then drove me to the only open service station. At the service station they gave me Enjoy the Star and life 'down under' Dear Sirs: Just a line from 'down under' to tell you how much we appreciate receiving our' home-town newspaper. How nice it is, in spite of being spoiled by friends and relatives keeping in touch, to get a good glimpse of Port Perry life through the Star. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed reading of the many town 'happenings' and of your coverage of the chang- ..t, . RN i Ey >: ing seasons and events, as ours, down here, are chang- ing in reverse. The children especially appreciate the excellent coverage and pic- tures of their schoolmates' activities. We are having a wonderful year in Castlemaine. The four of us seem to be very busy enjoying our respective schools; participating hard at various sports; making new friends and absorbing many new cultural experien- ces. Time is going very quickly for us...a good indication, I guess, that we are enjoying ourselves! However, as busy and involved as we are, we always look forward to news from home including the arrival of the latest edition of the Port Perry Star. Yours truly, Jack & Joan Fisher, Julie & Andrew.

Our friend then drove me back tomy car and taped the hose. (Atthistimel discovered that he runs the FORD dealership in the west end of town). As we were waiting for the car to cool, our friend returned with a new water hose which he had driven to Manchester for. He didn't stop at this. He proceeded toinstallit. He did all this and would not accept a penny from us. We would also like to thank the family just east of the Catholic Church who so willingly let me use their telephone to phone home. Their friendly atmosphere helped 'these travellers in distress". One final thought: If we had more good Samaritans and fewer Levites on the road, this world would be more pleasant to live (and drive) in. Thank you again, and may God bless you. (Matthew 25: 35-40).
