10 Have you travelled north on Yonge Street lately? If so you may have noticed some activity next .door to the “Summit View Gardens" Restaurant. last week we opened the new Datsun dealership serving Richmond Hill, Aurora and Thornhill areas. The existing building has 2 floors (you can only see the top floor from the street) with 4 working bays. 2 offices and lots of space for service parts” We plan to build a 40‘x18’ extension for the display of new cars. and our 3%: acre lot allows lots of room for future expansion. ATo round off our service to the com- _-... HJUAL- L_L...s_.. \\ \\\\m u...“- y v..r........-_t munity we are selling FINA gas and oil products between 7 am. and 10 pm. I have been in the automobile business for 10 years. during which time I've sold nearly all the imports and most of the domestic products. During the last two years I was General Sales Manager for Canada‘s largest Datsun dealership located in Vancouver. {This company sold over 2,000 new Datsuns last year.) The automobile industry today is going through an interesting transition showing a very strong trend towards the import automobile. There are obvious reasons why imports are becoming more and more popular. As traffic becomes more con- gested and as parking becomes more and more difficult, people are turning in increasing numbers to a handicr- sized automobile. However, I believe the main reason for the current accelerated increase is that a New Breed of imported car has appeared on the scene. accounting for almost all of the increased sales penetration. No longer does the economy-minded buyer have to settle for transportation which is lacking in performance and appeal and whose main virtue in addition to economy is that it will go from A to B. Since these cars offer many of the comfort and performance features of regular-sized cars. many buyers are taking another look before spending twice as much money to buy a car which is twice as expensive to run and twice as difficult to drive in traffic. The new im- ports are beginning to satisfy a latent demand. carving out an entirely new and unexplored market. in a different area but in much the same way as Rambler did in the fifties and Mustang did in the sixties. Japanese automobile manufacturers. relying heavily on extensive market research in the North American market. were the first to introduce this new type of autoâ€" mobile and today have by far the greatest share of this market. Japan replaced Germany in 1968 as the second largest automobile producing nation in the world and sales of Japanese automobiles are increasing more rapidly than those of any other nation. Here in Canada Datsun is now the No. 2 selling import and as many financial and motoring magazines point out with Datsun's remarkable growth over the last 5 years it won‘t be long before they are No. 1.

NOTE: Volkswagen registered in 1969 35.456 passenger vehicles; Toyota 16,648 units. Trade figures show that Japan is buying 5 parts from Canada to Canada‘s 3 parts from Japan, so with Japan‘s ever-increasing purchases of Canadian natural resources and produce. the Datsun has a high percentage of Can- dian content. If this is beginning to sound more like a commercial than an “import auto report” it is my intention to give you forewarning that interspread amongst the reports of the import automobile market. I will be including a few points why it will be beneficial to buy your new car from a company called Neill Datsun Ltd. If in the future col- umns to come the “Datsun points" outnumber the “import reports" I hope you will excuse a salesman's enthusiasm for th~ product he believes in.

He was appointed superintendent of the Mission'Hospital in Rat- lam, Central India in 1954. and remained there for about 14 years. Dr. McClure had been twice honored with the doc- tor of divinity degree, and was elected moderator in 1968. He was introduced to the meeting by Mrs. Evelyn Van den Hoek of the Uni- versity'Women's Club, who was responsible for arrang- ing the series of lectures. How does she happen to be on sale at Nipigon Stock Farm. a couple of miles north of Richmond Hill, at 19th and Bayview Avenues? And how does she happen to be in the same barn with a 24- year-old grandson of Man o’War. two Tarpan wild horses from Eastern Asia, two calves, a Shetland pony. 30 riding horses. two chickens. a Mus- covy duck and a jealous Mal- lard drake? A terrific medical tradi- tion has been built in the Orient by missionaries, Dr. McClure told the audience of Well, owner David Coppin says it all started with the Italian community’s Spaghetti Dig-in on Centre Island last summer. Mr. Coppin was hired to haul Michele to and from Centre Island from a zoo on Highway 10 near Brampton. to attend the festivities. Then about three months ago the 200 was looking for a place to provide board and room for 'Michele. They again called on Mr. Coppin. But there have occasionally been such things as a lion, a leopard and a bear. The Coppins seem to like animals. They had a bull's box stall in the barn. The money involved for boarding Michele was so good that they couldn‘t refuse. So Dave again took out his two-horse trailer and ‘brought the elephant home. ‘ One of these days when it gets a bit warmer. kindergarten lstudent Shelley Coppin just ‘might take Michele along to school and have a real hit item for show and tell. Then the zoo folded and Mr. Copp'm is selling Michele to; recover about $1.000 owing after three months He bought the Tarpan horses. the ducks and the chickens from the 200 because the live- stock looked like they needed a home. he says.

He rubs her trunk, talks and pats. She rumbles and trumpet; and swings her head from side to side. munuumnulmnum about 50 people. “Prolestants usually used medical missionaries as an opener. Roman Catholics had nursing orders and brothers well trained in science." When the Rockefeller Foundation sent a team of scientists into south China to study parasitic snails that in- vade the human body. he said, they found that the study had already been done many years before by a Catholic brother who had classified all types of snails to be found in the area. and had illustrated his works with -painstaking drawings and diagrams. Before the British with- drew from India in 1948 they had founded 17 medical schools to serve military needs. India now has 92 medical schools. but the N11- phasis is on private practice. In a country where there is one doctor for every 40,000 people. Dr. McClure de- clared, private practice is an anachronism. In China the facilities â€" x-ray. labora- tory and other services of hospitals â€"- were available to private practitioners, but this is not the case in India. Providing these services cannot be done by private enterprise. he said. In such a situation a government has to be socialistic to have relative success in death control. His 13 years as vice-presi- dent of the local medical as- sociation kept him in touch with 8,000 private practi- tioners in Nepal Province in India, but without supportive services. private practise is a very weak thing. State medicine has been free in India for 200 years. The Maharaja financed mediâ€" cal care for all subjects in his province. but when they found it too costly they cut back on food to patients. supplying only bread and porridge. The relatives and family were responsible for preparing food for the patient. There was some wisdom in such an arrangement. as a person did not then run the risk of eating food prepared by a person of another caste. Also. the- family was instrucâ€" ted in the preparation of the foods needed by the patient. Modern techniques in pre- ventive medicine and the new “wonder drugs” have put quite a strain on medical facilities. however. Dr. Mc- Clure citied an instance of four doctors seeing 1,963 patients in one day. “And it is getting worse because people are gaining confidence in Western medi- cine.” With money supplied by UNICEF, and personnel and mum“mum“mumlmmmu\‘mmmmmmmlIn1nummmmunummuumummmulu1nuummumunmmuunummmnumunmmuum\mmmmnuuuuluml1mIlnnmlnunu\ln1mlm\\lmmmmummmmmmuummumummumnuuu-I Tompkins Chrysler Dodge Ltd.

Family planning is the number one health pro- ject in India today." Responding to subdued snickers from the audience. Dr. M c C 1 u r e commented “There is no smut or smirk about sex in Indian and Chinese cultures. They can talk about the physiology of birth and conception the same as you talk about your ulcer or your blood pressure. There is no religious prew- dice against birth control other than among orthodox Roman Catholics.“ Early in his talk. Dr. McClure commented that medicine in the Orient is geared essentially to western ethics m i n u 5 Christian charity. Doctors are called “vultures”. “It makes you wonder how much of our western civiliza- tion can be transferred to another culture without the Christian ethic in it?" And half an hour later he spoke of an orthodox Hindu orthopedic surgeon who add- ed a 25 bed wing to his pri- vate hospital “because the poor people were interfering with my private practice." He provided the poor people in his hospital with free food, treatment and othope- dic appliances. More recently. said Dr. McClure. Ma d a m e Indira Gandhi. Prime Minister of India. refused to let this happen. She insisted the government dig into the rail- ways’ sinking funds, that monies be diverted from hydro electric projects to feed the people. “She would not let them die." Commenting on the cur- rent situation in Biafra, he recalled the last famine in India’s Bengal Province when between one and tw0 million people died of starvation. Starvation causes irrever- sible changes in the body chemistry, and can have ef- fects on the mind that are permanently disabling. No- thing can bring them back when a specific point of pro- tein deficiency has been reached, and the best thing that can be done is to feed those who are still above this “point of no return." He compared it to a battle situation. ‘iYou have to treat Taylor‘s Reliable Victoria would like to Mr. Donut: A & W Drive-In Harvey’s Allencourt Lanes ABC Bowling Pop’s Tavern The Richmond Inn Motor Hotel Yangtze Pagoda Tavern Kinnear Pontiac Jordan Wines Cosmo Music Co.

You cannot devote too much time. to the heavily wounded. you may lose a dozen others by infec- tion in the time you spend with one." Many people in India live on the borderline of protein deficiency by choice, de- clared Dr. McClure. They are vegetarians for religious reasons. and their own source of protein is beans and lentils. “The essence of a culture is the religion of that cul- ture. and the coming of science has put a terrific strain on religion." A man must choose be- tween becoming a liberal in his religious thought. or he must have a “compartmental mind." Bayview â€" Bonnie Brickles. S Gentles. Maartin Hielt Richmond Hill â€" Michael W Bonnell. “Many Canadian scientists have a Sunday school the-oâ€" logy and a very advanced scientific mind." Liberalism and industriali- zation are breaking down or- thodoxy in the Orient. said Dr. McClure. Socialism is providing housing for the workman as well as for the machine. The orthodox Bra- hmin is put “on the hot seat" in compromising with the traditions of caste on the job, while trying to maintain them at home. Don Head “The women preserve the culture in the home. and when the woman goes to work. orthodoxy is aban- cloned." No Indian, said Dr. Mc- Clure, would dream of going to work without first medi- tating for from one to three hours. “He would never go to work without first greeting his God." Day care for the children of factory workers is excellent in India. and every factory with more than five em- ployees has to have a labor DR. ROBT.

V _ Asked for his Views on marijuana. Dr. M c C In re laughed. "Everyone knows what I think of marijuana. I worked for seven years in Arabia with people who use marijuana. In the east they use hashish. which I believe is a strong form of mari- juana. Most of the stuff that is passed in Toronto is very little ‘grass'. An Arab would not give it to his camel." He added. “The hashish king in Arabia is a very good friend of mine. He is a non- user. and his hashish is never adulterated." Responsible men in Egypt, said Dr. McClure, may take hashish once a month. going on a “hunting trip‘f just as busineSS men of the Western world go on "fishing trips." They know they can relax. and they are very spartan about their habits until they have returned from hulking, then they bring out a piece of hashish similar in appear- ance to a graham wafer. It is put on a hookah which lit anti passed around. “They would not dream of driving when they have been taking hashish." In India. he said. the ha5< hish man is known. "They do not trust him with imgor- decisions, and they ‘never. never trust him with money." Hashish is very cheap 'in India. anyone can buy it. and i1, is no hardship for a mid- dle class person to use it habitually, “But, most don't want it. It is all right in a camel civilization. but not for a man with financial re- sponsibilities. nor for a man who is using machinery." (Marijuana is taken from the flowering tops and upper leaves of the female hemp plant. Hashish is obtained from the resinous material exuded by those tops and leaves. Marijuana ranges from greyish green to greenish brown and is coarse. looks like oregano or coarse pep- per and sometimes contains seeds and pieces of stem. Hashish is sold in solid looking cakes or blocks rang- ing from light brown through medium brown to nearly black and is much more pot- ent than marijuana.) u Because we live in a motor civilization". said Dr. McClure. “Hashish is unao ceptable here to me." The next lecture in the series at the library will be delivered on March 2. by Dr. Donald Misener. director of the Great Lakes Institute and professor in the physics department at the University of Toronto. .He will talk about “The Great Lakes and Their Environment."
