Tired and devoid of ideas the government continues to use "band-aid" measures when major surgery is necessary to get the million or so unemployed back to work. The Quebec problem is the same one that affects the rest of the country. PEOPLE WANT JOBS! The most recent major study has shown that this in fact is a major contributing A Irwin Kydd, Mrs. Crosier and James Houghland. There were 18 tables. play- ed.

The following Boy Scouts from Utica spent the week- end at Camp Samac: factor in the separatists move to leave Canada. Welfare and unemploy- ment insurance give nothing in return-are wasteful of human resources and de- stroy ones dignity and self- respect. Even worse they are often self perpetuating. IDLE MEN ARE LIVING DYNAMITE! Must the government wait for an- other FLQ crisis before they act? Workers and students without jobs can become violent with despair. Have student riots all over the world and terrorists not taught us anything? Com- munism breeds on the un- employed and the dis-- illusioned. Reports that young This is what Ontario's Senior Citizens are doing tohelp all of us, all year. During Senior Citizens' Week, Ontario is calling everyone's attention to the contributions and needs of our province's seniors. Talent doesn't retire. Senior Citizens have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with future generations. They are enriching the cultural life of the province by participating in every aspect of Ontario's artistic activities. They are also coaching sports, teaching, driving other senior citizens to appointments, assisting them to fill outincome tax returns, and serving in many other different ways. Ontario is helping our seniors do things for themselves even while they do things for others. There are over 1000 senior citizens' clubs and 90 senior citizens' centres in Ontario. Special grants and other assistance are enabling older people to return to school dnd university. Health services, financial benefits, tax credits and alternative types of housing have also been made available to seniors.

"Good Luck'. : Canadians are being taught terrorist tactics in Germany and formerly in the Cuban embassy in Ottawa should remind us of what a handful of FLQ did in 1970. IT CAN HAPPEN HERE! It is happening in Holland. Ottawa has announced it has purchased a number of two-man tanks for "domes- tic use". Does that not, tell us something? Before 'this happens Ottawa might consider the formation of a peace corps, a national guard, a new forestry service, new road building programs, new trades courses, more apprenticeship training on the job, to name a few that could help the situation. ARAL Pr fats wT continued paddlers. There were 183 canoes in the "Nonquon", withi.two people in each canoe, and well over half the entries were local people. And, of the eight - paddlers at the dinner, four were from Bowmanville! Come now, Port Perry paddlers, this is no way to support your own Town! You missed a hugely successful and happy even- ing, so it is ultimately your loss, but you should have been there to applaud Mrs. Scott and the other organ- izers for all their stalwart efforts on your behalf. To. all those who were responsible for 'Canoe the Nonquon" my many thanks for providing such an Not fit to govern country If China can adopt an industrial plan to surpass that of the U.S. in the next 23 years with more than ONE BILLION well educat- ed productive people all with jobs surely Canada with all our natural resources can create jobs for those who want to work.
