Big Jim Leeson parks his Cessna Skyplane, zips up his jacket and goes to pay a house call. By flying, Wiarton's Dr. Leeson figures he's beaten one of the biggest problems facing the progessive rural doctor today: Isolation from his colleagues and the big city medical centres. With his Cessna he can hop down to Toronto in an hour for a lecture. Still, he admits, a rural practice might not be every doctor's cup of tea, I'm a farm boy myself...I'm used to it, he says.

Complete overhaul of Roman Catholicism is proposed by Prof. Leslie Dewart in a new book, Religion, Language and Truth. Dewart, 47, teaches philosophy at St. Michael's College of the University of Toronto and has already made a name with an earlier book, The Future of Belief, published in 1966, which claims that there is no fixed truth. Dewart now argues that people's religious beliefs are determined by their language.
