In a previous letter to the "Port Perry Star", I expres- sed concern about the reli- ability of the nutrition information contained in Dean Kelly's columns. My letter resulted in a lengthy telephone call from Mr. Kelly, in which I expressed the wish that he choose his references with greater care. For the next few weeks, I was 'elated, as he concen- trated his tirades on the banks and others; however, my joy was short-lived, because he soon began to write about nutrition again. What are Mr. Kelly's edu- cational and professional qualifications in the field of nutrition? It is difficult for a person with little or no formal training on a subject to differentiate between good and poor quality inform- ation. The Toronto Nutrition Committee (a group of nutri- tionists, dietitians, and home economists) has published a FOR SALE Olympic Lottery Tickets Port Perry Star 985-7383 i list of sources of nutrition information, to aid others in its evaluation. I note that a majority of Mr. Kelly's sources appear on the "un- reliable" list. Very seldom does he refer to respected profession journals such as the "Journal of Nutrition' or the "Journal of the Amer- ican Dietetic Associations", or Sin to information from government sources or our Regional Nutritionist. Mr. Kelly does not seem to take into account that nutri- _ tionists often disagree on research results and inter-' 'pretation. How many of the theories put forth by him are corroborated by scientists other than those who, origin- ated the idea? - Responsible writers note opinions on hoth sides of a question. It is my belief that there is a potential for harm in the type of material written by Mr. Kelly. Ithas a tendency to frighten people, yét offers no real guidance in good nutritional habits. In his column, Mr. Kelly has not yet written about a very basis, simple guide to good nutrition...Canada's Food Guide. By following Canada's Food Guide, and choosing a variety of proper- ly prepared, good quality foods, a normal person can be reasonably assured: of being well nourished without the addition' of extra vita- mins and minerals, and with- out resorting to fad diets, which may prove harmful. Yours sincerely, Linda McLaughlin Nestleton, Ont. 'Nothing wrong with Goreski's camp' June 11, 1976. To Concerned Camper: I am very happy to see that you have camped from here to Halifax and congratulate you on being fortunate enough to have found excel- lent campsites all along the: way. Fortunately, for individ- uals like myself there are still some campsites avail- able where you are not hand- ed a list of Rules and Regu- lations telling you what you can and cannot-do. Yes, if you wish to camp in Provincial Parks, Nationaal Parks and plush privately owned parks you may con- sider Goreski's Summer Resort a little on the prim- itive side. I for one leave the City and bring my children to the country so they can decide for themselves what they want to do to entertain themselves. I find it deplor- able but understandable that the vast majority of native" Canadians have become so accustomed to Rules and Regulations that they find it impossible to enjoy the freedom of deciding and making their own re- creation. I can only feel sorry for you and others like you who must allow Govern- ment Agencies to decide what you want to do and even how you should do it. I can only say with a large lake like Scugog at your doorstep, a game reserve next door to your campsite and an Indian Reserve less than -a-mile away the need for swings and teeter-totters has to be reserved to imbeciles or those two lazy to seek their own pleasures. . I too have camped in many resorts in this country and find nothing wrong with Goreski's. 1 am also a concerned camper and am not ashamed to sign my name. Stanley T. Smith 89 Cavell Avenue Toronto, Ont. 3 PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, June 16, 1976 -- 5 Enjoys working with boys but needs more help Dear Sir: These are just a few words in regards to the article entitled "Hello , It's Kick the Parents time Again" in your May 27th issue. I would like to say that there are two sides to every story. I would like to defend our side, the side of the leaders who voluntarily run and operate groups such as Guides, Brownies, Cubs, Scouts and others. I have not got two girls in Guides, but, what I do have is approximately 24 boys in Cubs, all between the ages of 7 and 11. I enjoy working with the boys, but sometimes every- thing cannot be done by 2 or 3 leaders alone, such as camp- ing and daylong trips for an example. Ido agree that it is hard to get up at 6:00 a.m. to get your son dressed and at the Scout Hall by 7:00, but who is it that has to get up early and be at the Scout Hall before 7:00 to meet the boys? Not only are the leaders there before 7:00, but they are also with the boys all day or week (whichever it may be) devoting all of their free time. This does not even mention the countless num- ber of hours spent planning and arranging these events. As for the comment made concerning 'Public Applause", I disagree com- pletely! Leaders do not need public applause, they need help! Help with most or all special events which they have planned for their group. Without help and co-oper- ation from parents, special events and activities cannot always be carried out pro- perly, which MAY be a reason for such a decline in boys organizations! Three leaders can only do so much with 24 boys on their hands. Do parents really know what it is like to be a leader of a group such as Cubs? Do they realize the difference in the amount of time they spend working towards the group, and the amount of time a leader spends? I really begin to wonder if parents appreciate what we do for their children. Are we helping to educate the child- renin an enjoyable way, or is it just a babysitting service that we are operating? Tell Me!! I know that in my Cub Pack, we do get parent co- operation and it makes the whole Cubbing program more enjoyable for the cubs, leaders and even the par- ents. Unfortunately some groups are not this lucky and cannot operate efficiently. In conclusion, I ask you, "is it so bad to spend a little time and effort to make your children happy, and enjoy life a little more?" Yours truly, John Zoet, R.R.4, Port Perry. 985-7672 Bill Smiley This age is golden rt CA SY - A ol pn eats 4 A TX, It seems, when gne looks around, that the, Great Revolution of the 1960's has petered out, as most revolutions do. And, as usually happens after a revolution, the pendulum is swinging toward conservatism. The Savage Sixties, featuring a vicious war in Viet Nam, student uprisings, draft dodgers, the growth of strident feminism, and the blossoming of four-letter words in the mass media, have simmered down into the Sacred Seventies, when inflation and unemployment are the bogey-men. Most obvious evidence of this is the race for president in the States. There's not a liberal in sight. It's like a game of musical chairs in which every participant is striving to be a little farther to the right then the guy who made the last speech. I'm not entirely unhappy about this swing of the pendulum. While revolutions often produce freedom, they also produce excess- es, and that of the Sixties was no exception. It produced a violence, a callousness and a viciousness that was probably unparalleled 50 YEARS AGO Thurs,, June 17, 1926 The Ashburn boys, playing on home grounds Saturday de- feated Goodwood 3-0 in a football game. The 'game in Claremont ge- cently ended in a tie turing Milton Sills and a supporting cast of 3000 including Enid Bennett, Lloyd Hughes and Wallace Beery will be shown at the Port Perry Picture House in the Town Hall, June 17th, 18th and 19th.

The present church was dedicated on Sunday, September 30, 1966 and the total cost of its was $3,627. Lynda Heayn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Heayn received her Gold Cord, highest award in guiding. in western civilization's history. Remember? The kids were on drugs. The parents were on the booze. Cops were called pigs. Language that would shock a sailor came out of the mouths of babes. It was fashionable to be filthy if you were young. Hard rock replaced anything resembling music to be listened to. Cults of various degrees of obscenity flourished. Muggings multiplied. Hijacking hit the headlines. It was a nasty, nervous decade for society to grope through, and as a basically conservative person, I'm glad it's fading, even though it has left a fair bit of detritus as it ebbs. / Not all of it was bad, of course. Many of the old shibolleths were swept away and replaced by something saner. The social, political and economic status of women took a giant step forward. There was a new honesty, as much of the stuff our parents used to sweep under the carpet was pulled out, looked at squarely, and found to be merely, funny, not frightening. There was a new and healthy skepticism toward politicians, culminating in the not so incredible discovery that some were liars, some crooks, some both. , Our institutes of higher learning got a good shake-up, and their traditional stuff- iness swung toward something verging on license. In short, a lot of the phoniness of our society was exposed for what it was. A lot of rocks were turned over, and a lot of things crawled out from under them, and died in the hard, clear light. That's all to the good. Every revolution must crack some eggs to make an omelet. And every revolution inflicts wounds, some of them savage. : But society is the sum total of individuals. And just as an individual who has been mugged, knifed, raped or otherwise abused, must retire and tend his wounds, so must society. There must be a healing time. Perhaps the Scared Seventies is such a time. Certainly there is a trend. Hard rock music, hoist on its dwn petard, is being replaced by country and bluegrass music. Transcendental meditation is replacing the acid trip. Most people are fed up with the pure pornography that has flourished. Es that sacred cow, hockey, has turned péople off, including aficionados, with the mind- less, but contrived violence of its goon shows. Hijackers are harried and hunted down. Maybe, just maybe, we're in for a brief Golden Age, in which the arts will flourish, ripoffs will become a thing of the past, excellence will be restored as an aspiration of the young, and children will honour their parents. But don't hold your breath. Maybe, just maybe, movies will start having a plot again. And policemen will be pals, not pigs. And music will be enjoyable, not excruciating. And vandalism will vanish. But don't hold your breath. : Maybe, just maybe, town engineers will go around holding hands and singing, "I think that I shall never see, A sewer lovely as a tree'. But don't hold your breath. Maybe, just maybe, politicians will start letting their left hand know what their right hand is doing, and remove both hands from the pockets of the taxpayer. But don't hold your breath. I'm a realist. 'I don't hold my breath. But I'm also an optimist. So, whatever it's worth, welcome to the new Golden Age. The Argyle Syndicate Ltd.
