He is indeed a Joshua leading aur nation out of the wllderness of chaos and increasing indecency into. a love and family sol idarity. Yours truly, Rev. R.H.

Af~E'/? ~~'O/?K? 64'7 a4~3 VTYR Q~~?/~kFOOD Rep.ort from Q ueen's P.ark Une of the more sensitive issues facing the Government of Ontario, bath naw and or the next few yéars, are the prd'blems of aur young people. Beceause the Governm ent, recagnized these patentiai difficulties somfe time ago, in 1972 we established the Ontarioa Youth Secretariat for the purpose of gathering information on the interests and problems of the ieà tiÈe yauth population of this province, and transmitting this information, ta, the variaus Ministries, along with recommendations on action that could be -taken. ,The Youth Secretariat, which has a very small staff, is designed ta 1look after young people, rather than programs. The staff of the Secretariat attempts ta reflect the point of view of young people within the government, and coordinat.e and comment on ail the different Government activities in arder that these might resuit in maximum benefit for aur yourth. The Secretariat is headed up- by Terry Jones, M.P.P. for Mississauga North, who reports directiy ta, the Hanourable Margaret Birch, Provincial Secretary for Social Deveiopment. A few of the specific areas addressed 'ta date by the Secretariat are youth crime prevention; faImily planning; sparts and alymnpics; caun 'cil for disturbed children; residen- tial services; bridging the generatian gap; and probably most important these days youth career and employmenti opportunities.t Ta me the main objective of the Youth Secretariat is communicating. For instance, in the area of career guidance,c a series of conferences wee coardinated by the Seçretariat inf an attempt ta find solutions ta the many problems which affect the career development of young people. -Through meetingsr with - representatives of local Chambers of Commerce, industry, high schooi guidance departments and educational authorities, the Secretariat cauld develap palicy proposaIs, alternatives and recammendations to effectively resolve issues relevant ta, the career development of Ontario's yauth. i As an affshoot of this dialogue, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities introduced in 1977, the Ontario Career Actionr Program. Through this pragram, young people between the I ages of 16 and 24 who are not in shcool and cannot find empioyment, are provided with work experience and training in the private sector, as well as in variaus OntarioaC Government Ministries and agencies. Trainees receive a 1 weekly paycheque of $100 from the Ministry, for a maximum ofy twenty-six weeks. 1n41978, OCAP provided 5,750 jobs at a total c cost of $9,300,000. IL Attached ta the main Secretariat is a group which is il respansible for coordinating the experience-based summ er I youth employment pragram. Last summer this pragram,' called Experience '78, provided 13,500 jobs for young people. Each of the jobs was designed ta compliment a young person's academic, and career interests. Although plans, for 1979 summer break have not as yet been finalized, I certainly anticipate that the Experience program will continue. If the Youth Secretariat is ta continue ta fulfili its raie as a focus far yauth concerns, it follws lagically_ that it must maintain knawledge af what these concerns are. Therefare, a channel of communications must exist froni young people tliraugh. the Yauth Secretariat, ta the variaus sou ,rces, a f programming and decisian-making within the government. It wauld be naive ta think that someday every yaung persan in Ontario would be directly invalved with the Youth Secretariat. However, it is an obtainable objective ta have existing a 'channel' fram every young persan ta the Secretariat (iLe. John knows Mary, who knaws Sue, who knaws Fred,. who knows the Youth Secretariat). This way, should there be a groundswell of concern over a specific issue in any <part of the province, it will reach the Secretariat. Similarly, if there is an issue oh which the Governinent desires input, it will have contacts throughout the Province. As soan as infoÉnýation is availabl *e, I plan ta highlight in this column the variaus programs ta be sponsored by the Provincial Government for students during the summer of 1979. In the meantime, if you would like more information on the Youth Secretariat, please contact my Canstituency Office at 683-6707. A nutritious breakfast wiII give your day a good start by David Woods Breakfast may not be the most glamorous nieai of the day, but 'nany nutritionists see it as the most. important one because it allows the body ta take on fuel when, it needs it most - before journeying into the day ahead. 1But a good breakfast, lhey point out, isn't necessarily a big break- fast. Gone are the days when people 'iad the time and the inclination ta A'restle with chops, steaks 'and kid- rieys in the early momning, or ta quaff a few jugs of aIe with the norning.rmeal as the Elizabethans and the Tudors did. Getting the right nourishment at breakfast has ta, do with what you ..at - not with how much. And a 'tutritiaus, enjoyable first meal of the day cfn be light, simple and .asy ta prepare. The secret is ta take on fuel in the momning. Not ballast. A cup of cofi'ee and a piece of toast may leave you wîth the feeling that you've had breakfast, but they don't .ontain enough nutrients ta see you through ta midday. Chances are, if you're like many of us, you'Il make up the deficit with mid- norning snacks - cookies, candies, or doughnuts, perhaps - that are high in calories but Iow. in real nourishment. Sa why not start the day with the foods you need' for health and * energy. There are plenty of thern. And there's no need to, have the sanie thing every day. The idea, nutri- tionists, say, is ta strike a balance - eating something from the five main categories of food: protein, fruits and vegetables, rnilk- or milk prod- ucts, bread and cereals.- Here are two examples of sim- .pie breakfasts that contain these nutrients: unsweetened pineapple chunks, grilled cheese and bacon on a hamburger bun; another one: applesauce, toasted ham sandwich and milk. T'hese two suggestions corne from an Ontario Ministry of Health pamphlet entitled Breakfast ini a Hurry which also contains a num- ber of other tips on preparing the flrst mealof the day. It is available from the Health Resource Centre. Communications Branch, Ministry of Health, Hepburn Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario M7A 152. Marilyn Winarski, senior cons,- tant in nutrition at the Ministry, emphasizes that breakfast -doesn't have ta be stereotyped. We always tend ta think of it as a bacon and eggs meal. But "with a little imag-, ination," she says, "it can be turned" into an exciting,and nutritions one.' Different each morning." So have a good breakfastVltl make your day. 1 &%&'L,446 . dm. a
