Page 8, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, August 20, 1986 Carrots . . .a legend ora myth? (NC) -- "Cat's Eye'? Cunningham was one of Britain's legendary fighter pilots of World War II. His unusual eyesight enabled him, cat- like, to see a lot better in the dark than most. It helped him to shoot down more than 100 enemy planes. ""Cat's Eye" was also a carrot freak. While other pilots would re- duce the tension by eating candy- bars, or chewing gum, Cunningham would gnaw on raw carrots, claim- ing the gnawing was good for the teeth. ' Carrots are full of vitamin A, and without this vitamin eyesight may deteriorate. An obvious conclusion is that if a deficiency of vitamin A impairs eyesight, a supplement must improve it. This conclusion, not without substance, was quickly recognized in war-time by a young member of Britain's Ministry of Agriculture. While the country had numerous shortages, carrots was not one of them. Indeed there was a surplus of carrots at that time. The young man, so the legend goes, persuaded Ministry officials to promote a demand for carrots and eliminate the surplus by relating the carrot-eating-practise of "Cat's Eye" Cunningham to the British public: So successful was the cam- paign that there was a carrot short- age two years later. The downside was that when a British fighter was shot down over Germany, the Germans found a cockpit full of chewed carrots and carrot tops, and no pilot. They con- cluded that the Brit-fighter planes were being flown by donkeys. And, as we know, they lost the war. This column is an excerpt from Dr. Somersall's forthcoming book, Your Very Good Health.

TOWNSHIP OF SCHREIBER PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN é Since the Public Meeting in respect to the proposed Official Plan was held, Council has made a number of changes to the Plan's Sensitive Area designation and policies. This notice describes the new policies and designation and indicates how residents can com- A comprehensive plan for forest research and management and a demand for free trade with the United States were just two points raised in a speech delivered on August 15 in Toronto by Abitibi-Price's Corporate Marketing and Development Vice Presid- ent William W. Hall. The forest plan, Hall ex- plained, is needed to help the resources industry, esp- ecially newsprint producers in Canada. "It means that industry and the federal and provin- cial governments must co- ordinate their efforts (in) forest research and man- agement,"' Hall said on be- half of the Ontario' Forest Industries Association. *"We have also got to do a better job of protecting our existing forests from insects, fire, and disease, 'and we must keep up the pace on regeneration," he added. As for trade restrictions on industry products, Hall told those present at the Rotary Club luncheon that he believes of Toronto , More winners The Terrace Bay Police Force's Bicycle Safety Pro- | ques on August 15.

Hall had harsh words, though, for government in- tervention in the industry. "Money from federal and provincial govern- ments has been used to prop up operations that aren't profitable," he said.

He added that these gov- ernment grants do more harm than good as they create an imbalance in supply and demand. "'Rather than creating jobs, they dislocate them from one region to another ...to be blunt, they don't contribute to the long-term viability of our industry."' Hall hinted that things would be better with a tax- based system that rewards risk-takers who use their own money to back up their assessment of market forces.
