He is right on this score too. Cars are like pampered brats and Public transportation is also far safer.

(nt John St.) When North York councillors Mon, lay debated the merits of extending Avenue Rd. north of Highway 401 into Willowdale, Controller Gordon Hurlburt said that in the transporta- tion field, public transit should be given priority over the private auto- mobile. The car, particularly in the centre of urban Metro, will soon be out- moded said Hurlburt. In our opinion the sooner that is recognized by all borough politicians, the better. Second: since the neod for a vastly enlarged achool is chiefly due to large apartment structures at the corner of Jane and Woolner, has anyone con- sidered building the required school right into this complex? -tiisu" Upttqhtertng Ltd.

Pritchard and French Avenues. The need to tear them down, we are told, stems from a drastic increase of the school age population which is largely due to a rash of high rise apartments being constructed in the area. The first question that comes to mind is, is it really necessary to ex. propriate so many homes to enlarge George Symes public scl,tool and its grounds? Has school board seriously investigated the feasibility of building I high rise school to reduce the amount of land required? New York City, we understand, has had a great deal of success in its high rise school building program. UPHOLSTERING The news that some 40 families will be forced to vacate homes be- cause their land is required to build a new school again raises a number of questions that demand answers.

Ring 11' no. “no GARAGES MUSIC When the last Metro transportation study was published about a year ago, priority was again given to roads and expressways. In supporting public transportation, Gordon Hurlburt and Warren Heenan are on the right track. We hope there are many others who will agree with him. With these points in mind, we sub- mit it is high time that Metro and borough planning boards and councils established public transit as priority number one for this urban area. A former president of the Toronto Real Estate Boar], Warren Heenan, point- ed out some time ago that the Yonge St. subway, as short as it is, sparked a billion dollar development boom. Realtors are now predicting that the same thing will happen along the new Bloor-Danforth subway route. As Heenan also stated: “Subways pay for themselves a thousand fold even if they don't earn a dime." The automobile, in fact. has become such a greedy land user in recent years, it now threatens the aesthetic and economic life of our great metro- polis. Countless millions of dollars in essential tax assessment has been buried under concrete and ashphalt because of the four-wheel monster. need 10 to 20-Iane expressways, in- creasingly wider roads and thousands of acres of city and suburban parking lots. Trains, streetcars and subways on the other hand only need a pair of double tracks to be in business. When York council decided a year ago to expropriate IM homes to re- place parkland being lost to the Spa- dina expressway, homeowners raised such a howl and stink over it that they forced council to back down and adopt alternate plans. We hope however that Chairman Dr. Ronald Christie and his school hoard will reconsider its decision to grab these people's little homes. The public as a whole views with great. distaste a council or a school board that expropriates a, house on one block so that a developer may line his pockets by building an apartment on another block. Third; since York council and school board obviously were warned that the Jane Woolner complex site would generate an enormous number of school children, why didn't they require the developer to provide the school site since he is the one who is making the financial killing? If the unhappy victims of Mariposa, Pritchard and French hope to save their homes therefore. they too had better get on the telephones and start hollering.

Current concern. is focused on the hippy sub-culture in Yorkville, says Dr. Smart. Every deviant culture evokes scorn and disapproval within the larger community.

WHY TAKE LSD But this does not answer the question of why all these young people go there, why there is a need for Yorkville if all is well in society. Why do they take LSD and other hallucinngens? The Yorkville population is a young one with the major- ity between " and 23. Most hippies have a limited stay and leave within I few years. A SEARCH FOR MEANING Some teenagers say that it is part of a search of mean- ing: to find out "Who am I," "What am I here for" and "Where is the World going" _- also: "How can I fit into it or change it." What makes drug-taking so prevalent among young people today: Dr. Smart reports the ma- jor effects of LSD are tart- able depending on the per- son's mood, expectations and previous experience with it. The main effects are visual and emotional. Most people feel numbness tingling, chills, nausea and physical weakness, especially in the early stages.

No one is able to guarantee a safe dosage. Many cases are reported in which I single moderate dose of MD led to a profoundly adverse reaction in otherwise normal persons. Suicide and psychotic reactions sometimes occur. Another novel suggestion for MD reselrch concerns its use with terminally ill pl!- tients. ISD researcher E. Rut believes that many ter. minal cancer patients become depressed and isolated in their last few weeks of life and that LSD might give them some sort of training in prep-n- tion for death. He said that explicit pain was considerably reduced and a happy, oceanic feeling was usually obtained with LSD. These are the facts. How an we impress on our teen. agent the dangers of experi- menting with LSD. It may be that it will prove useful in developing or foster. ing creativity. It might allow people to approach aesthetic problems with fresh and uni, que attitudes. ventional middle class values. Perhaps Yorkville provided a place for monastic withdrawal with an emphasis not on the- ology but on self-understand- ing and social philosophy. What is most disturbing is the "tippy emphasis on drug-tak- ing. Prolonged adverse reac- tions from IBD and from STP have occurred in Toronto. It is obvious that hippies are cttl. ling for stronger wine and louder music, nys Dr. Smart. Doctors have been expert menting for 20 years trying to find a medical use for LED, without success.

Another site that had been mentioned is Eglington flats, between Jane and Scarlett Rd., but this idea, too, has been ruled out as unfeasible. Allen threw cold water on this idea by chiming that the federal government won't make the site available. He will attempt to convince Metro Toronto that fac- ilities for the games should be incorporated into Metro's massive waterfront plans which include a jet-port and I. string of man-made islands which are to be complet- ed some time in the 1970'a.

So now we are stuck with a lot of postage stamp schools, and have to expropriate some more."
