What happened in far off countries was mostly considered to be their affair, not ours. However, today it is a different different matter. People who live in Asia, Africa Africa and Latin America etc., are no more than 10 or 20 hours away. These people know how we as Canadians live. It means a new revolution revolution of rising expectations in which people want their share of the world's affluence. affluence. Today's headlines may be "Rebels-burn 450 tonnes of food aid destined for the starving in Ethiopia." The severe severe drought there, was threatening a million people with starvation. Another headline says 20 million Americans miss meals, cut down or go without food a couple of days. People in Bierut are living on garbage as the economy fails. Out latest headlines were about Black Monday and the dropping of the indexes indexes on the Stock Markets around the world. This latest headline may delay the implementing implementing of some of our election promises such as more money for schools,hospitals and our municipalities. Now our latest news closer to home is that G.M. is laying off over 1000 workers for two weeks periods alternating alternating shifts. With these headlines, headlines, I'm sure we can safely say. "World Affairs are our Affairs." Mrs. Brown introduced our guest speaker Mrs. Hamre, a member of both local and regional regional council.
