|The Pill Can Cause Vitamin Deficiencies Dr. Emmanuel Cheraskan, noted nutritionist from the University of Alabama was in Toronto recently on a speaking engagement and was interviewed by consumer Editor Lynn Gordon on the Global network, and on CKEY. Dr. Cheraskan often quoted for his research in Prevention magazine made some startling state- ments. "The Pill' according to the Doctor can Dean J. Kelly cause deficiencies of Vitamins B-6 tryptophan, B-12, Folic acid and Vitamin C. The lack of B-6 and tryptophan is blamed by many for those extra pounds, and a few M.D.'s are now prescribing B-6 or a complete B 'complex: vitamin to counteract the action of the pill. Mary Ann Crenshaw books have mentioned how the B-6, Lecithin, Kelp diet she devised with the aid of a doctor has helped thousands keep their weight down, especially women on the pill. Just one B-6, Kelp, Lecithin one hour before each meal does the trick combined with low calorie intake. One woman | know lost 242 pounds in about a month after trying all kinds of diets for months on end. A Bell telephone employee and being concerned with her weight problem which indirectly caused other health probléms she was told by her doctor to frankly take off the exce:zs weight or "don't bother coming back'. In desperation she tried the B-6 Kelp, Lecithin diet | suggested to her and she sent me a letter saying how much better she felt while on the vitamins. A number of other users have confirmed similar results. ; Dr. Carlton Fredericks (Ph.D) President of the International Acadamy of Preventive Medi- 'cine says in an article just published (August 76) from the British Medical Journal, Lancet quote "'B-6 improves carbohydrate tolerance in preg- nancy; does the same thing for women on the oral contraceptive, and has been reported to reduce insulin requirements in diabetics." Even though one does not smoke, being in a room with others puffing away can increase smoke in the lungs of the non-smoker by 25 percent. A woman told me that after having guests for a.card game the smoke from some of the guests caused her to have violent migraine headache, ending in a sleepless night. So remember that for every four cigarettes some- one else smokes, you are inhaling the equivalent of one whole gigarette. The Day George McCullough Bought The Globe and Mail Living in a small town with less than 1,000 people, the avenues left open to a young boy to make a little money was often restricted to collecting bottles, bagging potatoes from 100 Ib. bags into pecks and half-pecks at the local grocer or delivering the Toronto papers for about V2 cent each. To make a dollar you had to deliver 200 papers to the cottagers around Cameron Lake. The often weighed more than | did making it difficult to steer my second-hand bicycle. So it was in the hungry thirties. | recall the day that handsome rugged George McCullough, owner-publisher of the Globe and Mail drove into town in a gleaming streamlined Cord automobile. No one in town had ever seen one as had few people in Toronto. What an impression. Like the first airplane that landed in town. McCullough a dashing handsome figure of a man in his: late thirties left many a lady's heart thumping as he visited the local telephone office to phone his girlfriends all over the world. The only public phones in town were in the telephone office and all were handled by local girls trained in plugging in the right wires and ringing the right rings. As a crowd gathered outside on the main street to admire the Cord automobile, McCullough - protege of mining millionair William Wright (Globe and Mail building named after him) placed his calls with the pretty young bell operator. Waiting outside with my Globe and Mail paper bag proudly hanging from my thin shoulders (weighed less than 90 pounds) | knew in a few minutes McCullough would emerge and "rev up' that beautiful metallic silver-grey Cord. $potting me admiring his beauty, McCullough reached in to his expensive tailored suit and gave me 25 cents for a newspaper that sold for only 5 cents. | will always remember the day George McCullough came to town and bought my Globe and Mail...for 'not long after George McCullough was dead, and with him passed an era in my young life. A loss Don Frew made the surprise announcement (at least a surprise to us) that he will not be seeking another term as a member of 'Scugog Township Council, and won't run in this year's municipal elections. Which is too bad. ~ Local leadership, it seems, is losing ground in many communities and in our society as government gets bigger and bigger, and more and more local autonomy is being usurped by bigger, more powerful, and more influential forces outside of our own once-independent communities. It's also-a sad fact that it's usually those most involved, concerned and enthusiastic people that, become the most frustrated, disappointed and dis- illusioned, when less dedicated people simply sigh "that's politics'. Undoubtedly, Frew was one of those enthusiastic and dedicated. Not a pack-runner, you could always count on Frew to speak his mind, regardless of whether that particular point of view was popular or not. Politicians and politics might be considered less than above board by some, but we doubt whether Don ever compromised his principles in his service to the community. It might be a good idea for other members of council to let the public know what they plan to do in the upcoming contest, and give local residents a good chance to observe, approve, oppose, get involved, and generally do what the public is supposed to do, to be ready for the coming contest. Alms or bombs Canada's decision to cease nuclear co-operation with India may be unfortunate in that it will cause temporary strains in relations between Ottawa and New Delhi. Yet jt was a wise and necessary move. The Indian Government had used Canadian technical assistance to make nuclear devices--or an atomic bomb, to put it more crudely. The Canadian decision is a reminder to all that nuclear bombs remain to this day one of man's greatest follies. It was said in 1974 when India tested its first atomic device that it was merely an experiment. Yet it proved that India could make atomic bombs. The last thing the needy population of India wants are costly and wasteful nuclear weapons. 2 Mankind has foolishly got itself into a corner where the size of nuclear and thermonuclear bombs has become a status symbol. The military establishments of the two super powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, have grown to enormous proportions. The U.S. defense budget now tops $100 billion. Between them, the super powers spend well over $200 billion a year on arms and other defense expenditures. That figure represents 40 years of World Bank loans to the developing nations at the current annual rate of lending. Unfortunetly, the super powers believe that they can afford to splurge these vast sums on weaponry. But of course they can't. And India certainly can't. No nation can afford the folly of the nuclear arms race. India's decision to explode a bomb two years ago was as much of a mistake as was the move by the great powers to begin building and blasting ever bigger nuclear bombs from the mid-1940s onward. The Indian bomb perhaps had one beneficial effect. It reminded us all that we live in an interdependent world. And if India cannot really afford to make bombs because of her poverty, other nations cannot afford them either for quite another reason--for they are the guardians today of human survival in a civilized world. » While national boundaries are merely conveniences that tend to keep some nations rich and others poorer, Governments will continue manufacturing grisly status symbols such as Atom bombs. Only when we move closer to the one world concept that so many dream of will the nations of the earth accept greater trust instead of larger bombs as the lever toward a more just human society. L ®
