Sunday Morning Smile
There was a high-school English teacher who was well known for being a fair but hard grader. One day after
receiving a B minus on his theme paper, a student in hopes of bettering his grade and in the spirit of the Valentine

day, he received in return a valentine from the teacher. It read: “Thank you… but it’s still BE MINE-US.!”

FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE FOR DOCTORS THREATENED: The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) has
proposed a modification in its operational principles which, if adopted, would severely restrict the rights of conscience of physicians by
forcing them to do certain procedures or prescribe certain pharmaceuticals against their own moral or religious convictions in some
cases, or to make a formal referral to another doctor in others. The draft policy can be read at http://policyconsult.cpso.on.ca.
The CPSO will accept feedback from the public on this issue until February 20th. One may write the College of Physicians and Surgeons
of Ontario, 80 College St., Toronto, ON, M5G-2E2 or submit feedback online at http://policyconsult.cpso.on.ca/?page_id=5191
