Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 16, 1979 9 Why 1 should Be Elected as the Federal MP for Durham Northumberland As a Canadian and a New Democrat I have a commitment to Canada's future. I want to pass on to my children a future that is secure - one where everyone has a job, a decent standard of living protected against inflation, a healthy environment. A future where Canadians have control over their own resources. 1 recognize that we have aany problems-rising prices, rising unemployment, national unity. But there are solution-real ones-solutions Bob Martilla The Trudeau Government has been drifting, uncontrol- led and uncontrollable, and sbould be replaced. The good people in the Trudeau Cabinet have left, unable or unwilling to be mereurubber stamps for a Prime Minister who treats them, as he does Parliament, with an arrogant contempt. This quarrelsome attitude of Mr. Trudeau is obvious in his relationship with the Provin- cial Premiers as well, with the result that today, after il years, the number of Provin- cial Liberal governments has been reduced from five to none in Eastern Canada, and in Western Canada the once- great Liberal Party has been destroyed, both provincially Telephone 263-2241 which are fair and responsible. And I believe that the only party that can govern Canada so that we can prevent the further decay of our economy is the New Democratic Party. Trudeau and his Liberals have had their chance. And they've proven they don't have the solutions. The Conservatives haven't bothered to give us the answers. No plan to deal with high prices, no indistrial strategy. Clark is saying: give me your country, I'il let you know what I plan to do with it after I'm elected. As the MP for Durham Northumberland I would work What I am trying to do is keep more of your tax dollars in your pocket so you can spend them according to your own priorities - not those of some politician or bureaucrat. This is particularly important now when politicians are living in a dream world of irresponsible spending and regulation - a dream world that ignores rearity. Wile almost every person recognizes that he or she cannot live beyond his or her means without suffering serious economic consequences, we have had federal governments that spend more than they had for 15 years in a row. Last year they spent 12 billion dollars more than they had - that's $500 for every man, woman and child in tbis country. ,Wile most of us recognize that a hobbled horse cannot run, our politicians have been hobbling our industries with a tangled web of regulations and and federally. But what is the alternative? Can the N.D.P. under Broadbent elect a Govern- ment? Would Socialist dog- fas and principles improve the lot of Canada's people and Canada's future? Should the Government own and operate the principal means of produc- tion, supply and distribution? No thinking, responsible per- son in Canada today could possibly answer "Yes" to any of those questions. The Progressive Conserva- tive Party is the only national political movement that can replace the Trudeau Govern- ment. Neither the N.D.P. nor Creditiste parties are truly national in representation. Your invitation to explain "Why I should be elected as the Federal M.P. for Durham Northumberland' is in the generous impartial tradition of the news media. I welcome the opportunity. I am a Canadian and we are proud of Canada - proud of our land - our flag an dour Queen. We know we live in a land of great opportunities where our abilities and skills are fully recognized. A land where our efforts are rewarded by the fact we have one of the highest standards of living in the world. We are one of the leaders among the 15 indus- trialized countries in terms of the "quality of life ' we lead. In the past decade we have Hampton with Ed Broadbent and my other colleagues to provide sound economic leadership. We would establish a Fair Prices Commission with real power to investigate and roll- back unfair prices. Supermarkets and other industries have been earning record high profits while we've been paying record high prices. It's time you and I had someone fighting for us on prices and that's exactly what the NDP's Fair Prices Commission would do. By the way, Clark and Trudeau voted against Broadbent's plan. Secondly the NDP has a plan to help Canadians own their own homes. We've red tape. Businesses now spend more time collecting taxes, filling out forms and complying with regulations than they spend on research and development. How can businesses thrive under those circumstances? While most of us would agree with Jack Kemp when he said that "When you tax something you get less of it and when you subsidize something you get more of it" our governments apparently do not because they deliberately tax the productive and subsidize the inefficient and unproductive. Well -- you can't ignore reality because reality won't let you. The reality of high taxes and excessive government regulation is a Canadian industry becoming iess competitive in a competitive world. It is the 3.1 billion dollars of Canadian capital that left this country last year to find a more hospitable place to create jobs Even their most ardent sup- porters cannot believe .that either could possibly form a government although it will be interesting to see which of these two groups will form tbe third largest Party in the next House of Commons. But only the Progressive Conservatives have formulat- ed and expounded a positive, constructive, comprehensive and workable set of policies to reform our tax system, reduce the cost and scope of govern- ment, cut taxes, reduce our swollen debt and deficit, provide incentive and encour- agement to work and expand so that our unemployed can find jobs, and we can get Canada working and moving increased the number of jobs available by 8.8 per cent. Between 1973 and 1976 alone, no less than a quarter of a million new jobs were created for Canadians - the highest number made available by any country in the world and our average family income during the last ten years bas increased by 118 per cent. These are figures which may be verified by all Canadians. They are the answers to those prophets of economic doom who contin- ually negate the achievements of Canadians and downgrade our economic successes. I am a Canadian and we are proud of our multiculturalism. Canada is a land where the heritage of our different proposed a plan to actually red uce mortgage payments, not just give you a hand out at tax time. With this nlan, a person with a $40,000 mort- gage at-11 per cent should save up to $960 a year - that means about $80 every month in your pocket. Clark's proposal will add more than 3 billion dollars to the national deficit, and provide less assistance to middle-income familhes. There is also the NDP's plan to help middle and lower income Canadians. A cost-of living tax credit. The plan will actually increase Canadians take-home pay. A family of four with an income of $20,000 a year will receive $240 a year and industry. The reality of printing worthless dollars to pay for government deficits is inflation. Each new worthless dollar dilutes the value of existing dollars. Reality is also the cost of supporting the massive, bloated government that does the taxing and the regulating. Last year your governments took more than haîf of the income of most productive Canadian wage earners, including most of you, through direct taxes and through hidden taxes, such as federal sales taxes, tariff and excise taxes. The federal government alone spent more. than $2000 for every man, woman and child in the country - that's $8000 for a typical family of 4. Ten short years ago tbey' only spent $2000 for thattsame family of 4. All that money comes from you and me. The Libertarian Party of Canada thinks it's time we paid attention to reality. We again. Only the Progressive Con- servatives have a team of responsible, experienced, knowledgeable people work- ing witb Joe Clark, ail of whom could do a far better job than the Trudeau Cabinet members. All of whom, more importantly, are eager, inno- vative, and responsible to this country's needs and aspira- tions, in stark contrast to the present tired and passive office-holders. Only a Clark Government will have as a Prime Minister a young, decisive and energe- tic man, a responsive and sensitive family man with a real sense of morality and integrity, who knows all parts cultures is maintained and encouraged. Truly we are a mosaic of different back- grounds from all over the world. In that diversity lies our strength and the varied richness that makes our country great. I am a Canadian and we are a free land. Free to worship in our own way; free to speak our opinions; free to elect the government that represents us. Indeed the freedoms we enjoy are an example to the rest of the world and the envy of other less fortunate lands. I am a Canadian and share with you the economic and social benefits of our country's continuing achievements. I believe in a Canada united by a strong federal government to help fight inflation. A pensioned couple with an income of $7,000 or less will receive $399. These are only a few of the NDP's policies. We also believe that Medicare must be protected-permanently. We need a long term industrial strategy. We must start using our energy supplies to their best advantage. And, we can do it in ways that would employ more Canadians. All we need is a federal government energetic enough to start looking for solutions. I hope you will consider giving me your support on May 22. - Fred McLaughlin can no longer afford this bloated and disruptive government system we now have. We can no longer afford to let politicians buy votes with our money. The first return to reality is to have an objective. Our objective is to have the least government possible - to get the government out of our bedrooms, out of Our kitchens, out of our board rooms and out of our wallets so that we can all get on with living our own lives as independent responsible citizens. To stop inflation we propose that it be made illegal for governments to deficit finance. To start to reduce government we propose an immediate 10 per cent reduction in government spending. Things like foreign aid to dictatorsbips (almost 667 million dollars) can be eliminated entirely. Most other spending programmes can be cut back. The reduction in government taxing and a parallel reduction in government regulation will allow business to create real wealth producing jobs for many of those now employed in unproductive jobs in the civil service and for many of those now unemployed and willing to work. The Libertarian Party is a new party only 6 years old. We have 59 candidates running in this election fron Prince Edward Island to British Columbia. Why you might ask should you vote Libertarian? The answer is that your vote can be a message. When you vote for Bob Martilla, Libertarian you are voting positively fortless government and less taxes. You are also showing your dissatisfaction with other political parties. All politicians of all parties will get those twomessages when you vote Libertarian. of Canada, who listens to advice and leads a team by consensus rather than quar- rels, and who bas more experience in government at this stage ofuhis career than Mr. Trudeau did wben he began. It has been a great privilege to represent this beautiful and diverse Riding in the House of Commons. I want to be re-elected as your Member of Parliament so that together we can bring about needed change at Ottawa to do what is truly best for this country. With your help, I would like to be a member of the new team in a responsible Progressive Conservative Government. Allan Lawrence, Q.C. and led by a determined leader who is recognized within the international com- munity of nations. You ask why I should be elected? I feel it is my responsibility as a citizen to participate in and work for the continued advancement of our country. I am aware of the needs and the wishes of the people in the riding of Durham North- umberland. I will be respon- sive to their voice and available to them at all times. As your Member of Parlia- ment I wish to serve. Yours sincerely, Ian Wilson, Liberal Candidate, Durham Northumberland. Dr. Ian Wilson "Christmas Seat People" Hold Annual Meeting Durham Regional Lung Association's Annual Meeting was held on Tuesday, May 8th, at Adelaide House Y.W.C.A., Oshawa. The 1979/80 Management Committee was formally installed, its members representing Bowmanville, Orono, Oshawa, Seagrave, Uxbridge and Whitby. Gordon Terwillegar, principal of Sunset Heights Public School, Oshawa, takes over the Presidency from Helen Rudell, of Bowmanville. Other Management Committee members are: Bill Boagey (Seagrave), Jim Carson (Oshawa), Bill Eastwood (Oshawa), Dr. Myles Fisher (Oshawa), Clare Keith (Oshawa), Bill Low (Uxbridge), Dr. B. Malek (Whitby), Alice Sheffield (Oshawa), Doreen Swan (Orono), Marline Veater (Oshawa) and Jean Winters (Bowmanville). The local Christmas Seal organization welcomed as guests Dr. J.K. Gray (Medical Officer of Health), Alderman Chris Mason and Mr. Les McDonald (Health Education Consultant of the Ontario Lung Association). Guest Speaker was Dr. Stephen Fleming (Ph. D) of York University whose topic, "Understanding the Patient with Life-Threatening Illness", gave considerable insight into the psychological problems of those experiencing chronic or terminal illness. Durham Region Lung Association raised over $80,000 during this year's Christmas Seal Campaign, and the majority of these funds will be administered in Durham Region by local people for the benefit of those in the community afflicted with respiratory disease. During the past year the Association provided, as free Christmas Seal services, a Summer Day Camp for Asthmatic Children, two Family Asthma Courses, two Better Breathing Courses for adults with respiratory disease, supply on reqùest of Cold Weather Protection Masks, financial sponsorship of 11 Baby Sitter Training Courses, distribution of over 44,000 pieces of literature and a variety of other educational or rehabilitative support services. Family Unity Month Held In Ontario, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fully supports the Ontario Provincial Government's pro- clamation that May is "Family Unity Month on Ontario". The strength of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is built on the firm and religious foundation of the family unit. We believe that if the family is firm in righteous beliefs they will be united. If the community has strong united families, then the strength of the nation is more secure. If families are neglected then the stability of the community and nations is insecure. The following is excerpted from President Spencer W. Kimball's Address at the 146th Semi-annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: Abortion Abortion, with all its heart- aches to say nothing of the destruction of life, continues to rise alarmingly. Last year in the United States alone, there were reported over one million legal abortions. That's nearly fifty times the number only seen years before in 1969. One leading authority estimates that by 1980 there may be 2½ million legal abortions. These abortions in many other countries are running similarly high. Abortion, the taking of life, is one of the most grievous of sins. We have repeatedly affirmed the position of the Church in unalterably oppos- ing all abortions, except two rare instances: When concep- tion is the result of rape and when competent medical counsel indicates that a mother's health would other- wise be seriously jeopardized. Certainly the tragedy of abortion often begins with a visit to an x-rated motion picture theatre or fingering through an obscene magazine. The path to the grievous sins of fornication, adultery and homosexuality can begin, too, with the viewing of some of the sex and violence oriented programs now being shown on television, including network television. We must put on the armor of righteousness and resist with all our might these satanie influences. The time is now when we must take a stand fearlessly and relentlessly for the Lord's ways as opposed to those of Satan.

Every few days they write tests, complete exams, hand in essays, make presentations to their class, take part in debates and so on. Every few days they get back the results. Always present is the chance of failure. Always present is the danger of getting a mark, much lower than needed or expected. As a student one constantly is risking their ego and their pride. In one way or another a student is being tested every day. Possibly even every class. Surely that's a pressure that no other segment of our population is under so constantly. This constant testing is only one demanding aspect of being a student. There is a lot of work too. Everyone knows, of course, that students work in school for approx- imately five and half to six hours per day. That doesn't seem too long, but when you add the time spent on homework, projects and studying, the additional hours add up pretty euickly. This is particularly true in e senior grades in secondary school but still true in respect to elementary school too. Its not uncommon, at a busy time of year for a senior student to put in a 12 to 14 hour day in respect to school work. Another aspect about school work which is forgotten sometimes is that it is very tiring. Like all intense mental work it is very demanding. Most people who do both mental work and physical work will readily. admit that they find the concen- trated mental efforts every bit, if not more exhausting, than the physical work. The point is that any student who is working hard at his studies will t tired just as quickly as if he or sh e were cutting the lawn or digging the garden. Letter 17 Quebec St. Oshawa, L1H 2K3 May 11, 1979 728-3725 The Editor The Canadian Statesman 66 King West Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Editor: Having questioned Mr. Broadbent's ideas on capital punishment, I must, to be fair, still challenge Mr. Trudeau's and also briefly Mr. Alan Borovoy's. In 1976, the prime minister said in the Commons, "If a majority vote against C.P. some people are going to be hanged. Their death would be a direct consequence of the negative decision made by the House on the bill." This clearly showed no strong leadership, but was an at- tempt to scare, not say, blackmail the opponents of Bill C-84 into voting against their convictions for fear of being regarded as execution- ers. As murderers are respon- sible for their own deaths, Trudeau's promised "just" society and a "free" vote were meaningless. Thus the liberal leader, not caring the least about the realistic persuasions of the great majority of Canadians, was and is still bent on subjectively deciding what is good for all! Is this the end of participatory democracy? If a secular humanist govern- ment, in its comfortable ivory tower, is too stubborn to want a national referendum on C.P., as Mr. Joe Clark does, on a literally life and death issue, it has no right to continue existing. As we know, Tru- deauism morally violated its own law on the death penalty while it was still on the books. Such an act fosters disrespect and mistrust.

It is the pressure to do well. Ail students want to pass and to pass wel. However even when one is passing his courses the pressure does not go away. There is always the pressure to do better. This has to be kept under control and sensible, but sometimes external factors can be pretty strong. For example a grade 13 student may be under pressure to get a few more marks to get into a particular course he or she wants at university. Sometimes an extra one percent makes the difference. The same is true about scholarships. One less percent can mean the loss of 5,000 dollars in entrance scholar- ships. If one is trying to win these types of achievements, then they are indeed under pressure. It would be very easy for a reader to think I am trying to paint an unhappy picture of student ife. I am not trying to do that nor do I think it is an unbappy time for most young people. It is however a very emanding time and certainly no studere's free of the stresses and strains associated with studies. I am trying to indicate that being a student is hard, demanding work and we must give any hard working student a lot of credit for the efforts he or she makes. As adults we sometimes feel that we are the ones in this society who are under the pressures and stresses of the world. Of course we are, but so are our young people too. I guess when they come home from school some days, upset because, of a poor mark or discouraged and gruff because of fatigue, we need toput it into perspective. After all, isn't that how we, as seasoned adults, act sometimes when we are dealing with our concerns. io the. head of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, gave a good address at the morning service of an Oshawa church. Afterwards, in an adjacent room, he knowledgeably answered a number of ques- tions. I was, however, taken aback when he told me privately that he was totally against C.P. and that his national organization "was going to work like 'mad' (my euphemism) to get MP's across the country to support abolition." Unlike Mr. Clark, it's only too obvious that he has no genuine concern for the Edi*tor greatest personal civil or civic liberty - the right to life! The doing away with the ultimate penalty in any country is, I'm certain, a most shortsighted, stupid, immoral act that is bound to backfire. Yet truth is the last thing many people want to hear.
