2, Oreno Weekly Times, -Wcdnesday, April 28, 1982 Second Claseý Mail Regstraton Numnber OMMS Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy C. Frrester, Editor WilI Not Tolerate 1982 Price Intreases Last week in printing a circular for a Canadian Firm doing business across Canada we were struck by a statement in the letter that they would flot tolerate any increase in the cost of supplies by their suppliers during the remainder of 1982. The letter, or course, was being mailed to ail suppliers of goods and materials. The letter further pointed out economic conditions and restraints that must be met to combat these conditions. The firm does have the impact to hold suppliers to their demand. Certainly an indication that restraints are filtering down to the private sector. In mentioning this to Joe Klasner of Plydesigns in Orono he further added that a number of their suppliers and thoseof Curvply were now submitting letters guaranteeing no price in- crease in supplies for the remainder of the year. And in fact, he said, many sales representatives positions were being eliminated in an effort to eut costs. These positions were being replaced with telephone answering 'services. The Federal Government has been callîng for restraints from the private setor, industry, and labour, but that means nothing until action is taken by the private sector. The above is an indication that something is happening and it is as well. noted in the auto industry in the United States and in many other industries across North America. Restraint will have more to do with.economic recovery than anything else and until it comes to al sectors of the nation it can have only minimal effect. It is now time for ail forms of government to exercise the saine restraint that they ask from the private sector. Everyone should have to share in the cut-backs just not those that may be afffected through the free enterprise system. A worker at General Motors could hardly be expected to shave his take-home pay envelope while teachers, doctors and civil servants, whether with the federal goverient, provin- or municipal, are granted increases in accord with the rate of inflation. If we are to have restraints they must be nationwide. Wbat sympathy should a person have for a doctor, now net- ting annually $64,000, by their figures, or $80,000, by that of the Province, for an increase of over 30 percent over the next three years. Certainly they are flot starving or on the poverty line or even coming close to such a position. Their demands are nothing more than inflationary causing greater hardship in the province and country and at a cost to those, in the majority of cases, who are now having a hard time to make ends meet. Further the Province of Ontario dealt with a heavy hand, a year of two ago, by legislatîng back to work hospital support staff who do flot have the right to strîke. The province deems these people providing an essential service in medicare and as such do flot have the right to withdraw their services. It is hard to understand why doctors are not included in the samne category for surely their services are equal to importance to that of support staff. Yes, governments now have to buckle in, in that part of the economny over which they have some control, and as well, such as those industries favoured with a monopoly position such as Bell Canada now suggesting a 25 percent rate increase. It's unacceptable and as well most damagi ng to this nation to have the lower income groups pay the shot to correct the economic condition that exists. 1 arn ùidebted to a woman inOttawa who called mie recently to give mie her perspective on the story involving General Mlotors and Iraq. 1 say I arn indebted, because without her i would probabiy have responded to it in the usual Canadian way -- that is by wearing sackcloth and ashes again, and waliowing in our own presumed Can- adian miediocrity. I can't see into the Canadian mnd of course, but I've spent nearly haif a century in this country and l'm getting to know my fellow occupants fairly vweII. And 'd be wi 11i ng to bet that mnost of us, "hen we read or heard the story, or saw it on television, said to ourselves Kendai INews Take time to live:, It is the secret of success.

The partially burned body was found by a neighbour. Coroner Dr. Chris Hall, Oshawa, pronounced the victim dead at the scene and an autdpsy later conf irmed death from a heart seizure. Loss of a shed and a garden tractor is estimated at $2,500, states a Newcastle lire department spokesman. the equivaient of; "Humph, nothing ve ry surprising about that." We thought or even'said things like: "wsouldn't you know it, the damned UAW vuon't, even tal k to GM about freezing wages in exchange for job security, and now it turns out they can't even build a car which doesn't fali apart. " Or if we are of the opposite persuasion, we said something lîke: "Bloody GM. Can't even desiin or execute a car that the Arabs wvuld buy. No wionder the Japanese are cornering the car market. " How many of us said things like- the lady from Ottawa. What she saidin effect, was: "Wait a minute. 1 have a littie Chev that is the best car I-'ve ever owned. 1 leave il out ait winter in a parking loi, and it starts every time 1 try it. Why oh why must w4e aiways knock ourselves and our products? " That isn't an exact quote but that's the gist of it, and whether she's right or not,. three cheersý for her. 1 have owried Fords, Chrysier products, and GM products, and 1I must admit V ve had good service f rom ail of thern. I have a GMC truck at the moment, which is one of the finest pieces of mrachinery I 've ever had the pleasure of operat- ing. Whly wouid 1, of ail people, when 1 first heard about the cancel lation of GM's contract with Iraq, assume it was really the cars that were wrong. And assuming they woere wrong, why wouIdn't 1 be charitable enough to admit that thebest run companies, with the most wi11iing work forces, can screw up from time to time. Why was it my instinct to assume that the Iraqi criticism was justifîed,, that the clapped-out Malibus were just more proof of the bank- ruptcy of our way of life. l'Il tell you Mhy. It's because in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, until death do us part, i arn a Canadian, and only now and then, when 1 comne to my senses, am 1 proud of it. That's not news, but that too, is reality. the following clipping. While I was in a motel of- fice the mianager tore open a bulky package and dozens of vegetable seed packets tumbi- ed onto the counter. " Where are you going to plant ail those seeds?- I ask- ed. "I have many gardens and 1 don' t plant, weed, water or hoe any of them," she said. "But I get the freshest vegetables you ever saw. Every year I hand seeds out to friends who have gardens. When harvest time comes, they remember where they got the seeds." To those who are planting gardens be sure and buy a couple of pound of dutch sets (onions). Plant peas very ear- ly, here and there along the row put in a dutch set onion. Then when the peas are pick- ed the onions will be a good size and keep on growing. When putting out your tomato plants put an onion between each plant. Then in the laul you'll harvest some fine onions as 'well as tommtes. Beginners plant tomato plants much too close together. They need a lot of, roomn to branch out. Plant some corn, beets, carrots etc. Now in two weeks tîme plant some more. Then in a month plant some more. In that way you'Il enjoy them agt their peak of flavour.
