'leo-er-va--'-,'-. tA MI There is little doubt that the Spadina decision will play an important role in the outcome of this year's balloting. The scrapping of the Spadina - or the Wm. Allen Expressway - had more impact on this region than any other in the Metro area save, perhaps, the Spadina core whose residents ob- jections led to the decisions to stop further construction in the first place. The Weston-York Times circulates in the provincial ridings of Yorkview, York South, York Forest Hill, Downsview and Etobicoke. During the campaign we will endeavor to provide our readers with as complete an election coverage as a weekly newspaper can undertake. Premier Davis has not helped the chances of electing any P. C. candidates north of St. Clair by ending the exprmsway just where it was at Lawrence Avenue. Mr. Nixon and his statement saying that he would continue the expressway to Eglinton does not sit too well with residents of the Borough of York either. It is five weeks to election day.

The symposium will have as its theme "Education in a World of Mass Communication". There will be three separate panel discussions, with distinguished Canadians as chairmen of each: “How Will the Media Influence New thinking and new techniques have opened up a wide range of opportunity to enrich education and promote personal development at every age. But these new opportunities have brought problems with them: how to get the best out of the new ideas and techniques - television, videotape, cassettes and so on _ how to fit them most efficiently into existing needs and systems. Both federal Finance Minister Edgar Benson and provincial Treasurer Darcy M c K e o u g h h a v e acknowledged that the widespread unemployment of last winter would linger through into 1973. In short, that there was not going to be any miraculous overnight recovery; and certainly for the coming winter, the situation would be serious. The overall impact of the Nixon surcharge measures raises the prospect that next winter's unemploymet could well be just as serious as last winter's. If there is any such danger, then it is imperative that goveminent action, at both the federal and provincial level, be taken now. Jobs aren't created overnight; the planning and execution of any jobcreation projects takes some months; without action now, there is no hope of it being effective for But the most important point of all is that this raises the prospect of a further addition to the unemployed ranks which had already been deemed as serious for the coming winter. There may be some dispute about the number of jobs that will be lost in Canadian industry which relies on the American market. There may also be some argument over the federal government's counter-measures to lessen the impact. the political reaction (or should I say "all the reaction of politicians") to President Nixon's imposition of a 10 per cent surcharge on im- ports into the United States.

Premier Davis and many of his colleagues have been quite vocal in giving advice to Ottawa, and urging federal authorities to take the matter seriously. Sometimes the advice has been uncertain, even con- tradictory: for example, the provincial treasurer, in conjunction with other provincial treasurers, urged Ottawa to devalue the Canadian dollar when they were called in for con- sultations and a few days later, Trade & Development Minister Allan Grossman urged great caution, and said that Ontario did not favour devaluing the Canadian dollar until all "diplomatic" avenues had been exhausted.

This legislation raises more questions than it an- swers; but in principle it is soundly conceived in its objectives, and the public will just have to accept it on faith, and hope that it doesn't become an abuse of public expenditures.

OECA is unique in that it is the only body in existence which melds the two fields of education and mass media into a single endeavor. conducting research in the field. There is a growing public cry now to put those on welfare to work. Recently, Social and Family Services Minister Tom Wells, called upon the municipalities to create more jobs, so that people would not have to go on welfare. I hope that is some indication the message is finally being received at Queen's Park. Create the jobs first, and workers won't have to go on welfare, in- stead of letting them go on welfare and then trying to force them to work to pay for their keep. The one approach is positive, and has dignity; the other is debasing. ployed which ultimately reached 25,000. it created 10,000. jobs - a 40 per cent reaction to the unem- ployment challenge. We need to remind our- selves that in a country of Canada's riches in resour- ces, it is not just economic nonsense. it is sheer lunacy to tolerate (let alone deliberately create. as did the Trudeau policies last winter) unemploymet beyond 3 per cent or so. It is economic nonsense because we lose all around: family incomes are cut off so they have to be provided either through unem- ployment insurance or welfare of some kind. Because there is a loss in income, there is a loss in tax revenue at the very time when the public treasury is being tapped more heavily. There is an irrevocable loss of production, for our own and world needs. Perhaps greatest of all, there is the loss of dignity, the creation of family tensions, because of unemployment. For the great majority of people, it is simply soul-destroying. The person with active tuber- culosis of his lungs invariable has a cough and usually sputum. The diagnosis can only be made with certainty by finding the germs in the person's sputum. Chest x-rays are helpful in diagnosis by It has been shown that tuber- culosis is more prevalent in city than in country dwellers. There are more infected people in those areas where living conditions are inferior insofar as overcrowding and poor diet are concerned. Close contact and inadequate nutrition favour the spread of the disease from an infected to a non- infected person. Tuberculosis can be controlled but can it be eradicated? Tuberculosis is caused by a specific germ that is spread from one person to another. If the patient with active tuberculous disease of the lungs coughs or sneezes, he sends germs into the air. These germs may be inhaled into the lungs of healthy people and may cause tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, though infectious, is rarely spread unless the infected person coughs with ac- companying sputum. In the developed or affluent countries there is a marked decline in the number of new cases of tuber- culosis as well as in the death rate. Well, Ahab moped 'cus he couldn't get what he wanted. His wife (a real stinker, called Jezebel, the root of all the trouble) said to him "Honey, you’ll have to liquidate the boob, then what's his There was this poor chap, Naboth. He had a smart bit o' property. Just ripe for developing. This king fellow made him an offer. And Naboth said "No, he wasn't selling" (Reason being his family had lived there for generations, and the place meant more to him than money). Then there was the moral dope. There was this King see; Ahab. Sort of Bay Street tycoon type. Pots of money and power. Thought this gave him a right to everything. And like 'em all, he wanted a lot more. He needled them Baal clowns into an open-air, free-for-all, public contest. And they lost. Everybody turned out to see it. They said "We've been taken for a ride, let's backtrack, and start out right". And they did. But this Elijah fellow cleaned them up. He really did. He socked it to 'em with a healthy dose of the real thing. Like slapping a poultice on a suppurating car- buncle. And T it did the trick. Showed them up for what they were - miserable phoneys. Religious dope, first. There was tons of it around. Like now. Not exactly the same. But similar. Like drugs and star-gazing. The whole works of this - is - it - your - own - thingism. Only then they lumped the lot together and called it Baalism. "Your own bag", you might say. But he came like a hailstorm on the prairies. Blasted a violent swath through the mock-up religion and the mealy-mouthed morality of his time. Then, blow me, if he didn't kick the bucket on a blooming whirlwind! Some Guy! 'Like to know what he did? Well, he cleaned out a whole lot of dope from the body-politic (that means not just the equivalent of Queen's Park or Ottawa, it means the community-at-large) ' Doesn't say where he came from. Nothing about his birth- place. No pedigree. Doesn't even tell us where he shacked up. He just came. Hey, people! There's this guy in the Bible. Name's ELIJAH -- myns 'My God is Yahweh". Tuberculosis Contributed by Dr. Cameron C. Gray Executive Medical Director Ontario Thoracic Society on behalf of Tuberculosis & Respiratory Disease Association What t DON REED Riv. Rood a Minister ot Wnlminslov anud Clturch m Weston, Once the diagnosis is established by finding the germ in the sputum the treatment with a combination of drugs is started. These drugs are taken daily and the length of treatment is essential and worthwhile because almost every person trea.ed in this manner has his tuberculosis controlled and in addition there is very little risk in years to come of a flare up of his old disease. It is because of these drugs which were introduced 20-25 years ago, that tuberculosis is no longer a serious problem. It is important to realize that the drugs now used to control the tuberculosis infection were developed through research. Occasionally it is necessary to carry out a surgical operation in the treatment of tuberculosis but nowadays this is rare, again due tn the excellent results that follow drug therapy. arousing suspicion when an ab- normality is recognized and then having the person seek medical attention. The tuberculin skin test does not diagnose active disease but if the test is positive it in- dicates that the person has been exposed to the germs some time in his life, either years ago or recently. A negative tuberculin test usually rules out the presence of active tuberculosis. (You can read about Elijah for yourself in I Kings Chapter 17, 18, 19 and 21). We all serve the same one God as Elijah. Why don't we do it together? As in Elijah's time, the true faith is under a threat today. And there doesn't seem to be an Elijah around. But there is the equivalent of the 7,000 (the bunch who haven't "bowed the knee to Baal"). People who hold to the faith - in all the churches. Perhaps we are a bit like Elijah in not being aware of other people of faith. If only we would recognize each other and were to get together, there'd be enough of us to make a difference to the situation. I've told this story in hip style because like most Bible incidents (if you read them in the right way) it is very much up to the moment. Let me point up just one of the many things it has to say to "Shake yourself Elijah", the Lord said. "You did a great job. But you aren't the only one. There's a whole bunch who haven't gone overboard on the Baal bit. Cheer up", And Elijah cheered up. He was -a great guy, as I said But just a guy, and not a God. "Gee, Lord", he said, I was the only guy with guts enough to stand up to them and now they want to finish me off. What shall I do?" You see, when he'd had this battle royal with the Baalists, Jezebel went for his blood. His nerve broke. Like a scared mouse he scurried into a desert hideaway. And there, well, all lonesome like, he fairly oozed self- pity. Yep, a great guy that Elijah. But he had his faults, like all of us. Sort of makes him human and not a blessed angel. with a tongue like flaming hell. "You'll go to a pauper's grave", he said, "And, as for your wife, her carcass will be eaten by the dogs". And so it was. Ahab saw the point. And got the job done without a stain on his hands or a blot on his scutcheon. Then he stopped moping and moved in on the property. That was fine.
