suggested there would be a major cab net shuffle in July or August And if this happens to annoy the Prime Minister Just a bit he will no doubt be appeased by the Homer assessment thai looked strong re freshed and confident when he spoke on national television a few nights earlier He didn even bat an eye when he said it Someone wanted to know whether Horner would resent being called a turncoat Heck he didn mind being called a maverick while in the Tory caucus Was he on a power trip Heck power all my life Was he an opportunist Anybody as far in debt as I am had better start looking out How had he informed Conservative Lead Joe Clark about his decision Well you see Clark had issued an ultimatum hours earlier and Horner learned about it through the press Now he was returning the favor It wise for me now ell you what I think of Joe Clark Joe Clark has enough problems on his plate right now I don think f should give him any more Yes we got the message It went on like this for nearly an hour a breezy break in an otherwise dreary expanse of sombre Ottawa press conferences Just listening to Jack explain what his brother Hugh an Alberta Conservative cabinet min thought his move was well worth price of on Actually I am still not sure what Hugh thought of Ihe move that beside the What did emerge wilh absolute clarity was the fact that Horner as a Iberal cabinet minister will not be lowering his vocal volume And here was also he suggestion that if he make it lo cabinet he will Ottawa Bureau Of The Herald Jack Horner said he had just come ih rough the saddest day of his life but he did a magnificent job of hid is sorrow as he held a press conference to announce his convert on to Liberalism The 49yearold Crowfoot MP a 19year future within the Conservative parly give every indication he was having a ball as he f elded questions about the exciting new challenges ahead There was even a hint he had some rehearsals beforehand because he managed to smile warmly as he uttered the words Prime Minister Things change rapidly in politics Some of the questions wcrcn easy for the well built rancher He was reminded for that he had earlier referred to as a dictator and the country should know how he feels about his new leader Hell said the former Tory transport no one is perfect not even Trudeau But have to assess who is in the best posit on to solve the problems facing Canada and Western Canada Mr is still a very powerful person he remarked And that got him off the hook as far as the dictator remark is concerned Mr Homer recurring theme was that he made the painful decision to join the Liberals after Mr Trudeau and other Lib erals suggested I could make a greater contribution to Canada and lo Western Canada if I were to assist them the Liberals I have today decided to accept that challenge NO CHANGE And within minutes of this announcement the noholds barred MP was demonstrating that he would be as outspoken as a Liberal as he has been during his long career as a Conservative In fact he appeared to be almost contradicting Mr who had impl he had not discussed specifics lowering such as a possible cabinet appointment with the wavering MP The new Liberal made It clear that the subject was indeed high on the agenda that had disc folios and that was agreed Homer really be effect on the backbenches Furthermore he added if there wasn a cabinet appointment forihcomlng my stay in the Liberal party might be shorter than was in Ihe Conservat xal volume Ions Positive or negative By GERRY Feeling tired listless rundown do you have that ache all

the direct result of feeling high due to the negative ions being produced Count such as Russia Hungary Switzerland Germany England and already nave negative Ion generators In hospitals schools and commercial office buildings In England Fox a well known physician discovered remarkable results in curing migraine through the use of negative ions The British police forces uses negative ion generators According to scientists we breathe due to pollution and artificial cooling terns can become saturated with too many positive Ions When this happens we become prone to a number of Ills We spoke with Jim or International an Ontario company that manufactures negative ion generators Some people are more effected by too jnony positive Ions that others he said An Ion generator wilh volts AC the voltage then switches to DC and produces to volts per second This electrical charge then splits the molecules of air producing negative ions that are pushed away from the generator in a steady stream Mr expressed doubt as to the effect of socalled spray cans of negative ions These sprays arc supposed to spray negative ions and charge the air for those who want a bit more lip out of life I suppose if one had a spray can feet high 10 feet of water and 10 feet of pressure and could keep the stream flowing constantly might be possible to produce enough negative ions akc an appreciable difference but such a spray can might be a little awkward he said No one is claiming thai negative Ions arc a cureall for whatever ails you But the results shown in medical papers such as the collective report AeroIon Therapy by the Carlo Foundation or the newly released Ion Effect by Fred Soyka point out fairly substantial proof that too many positive Ions have a definite effect on the way we act feel and recuperate When the air is Tilled with negative ions we feel exhilarated soothes and rejuvenated while too a positive ions in the air has the opposite effect So time you are feeling down In the dumps consider your ions Turn on your negative ion generator or lake shower whichever suits your pocket book No wonder Niagara Falls is the honey Clear as mud i Despite the sad

Idler from Milton Mayor Don or Jon on the working of com it for Editor Chairman It Morrow Regional Municipality of Dear It Is time to review work that has been carried out by four Committees of Regional Council After sorting through hundreds of pages con thousands words and literally being swamped with reports from Subcommittees I would like to give you a brief summary or my feelings as to what has really happened The Administration il u the head when ihe Treasurer reported wilh some Jusllflcfltlon that sales and income figures show an easing up of the rate at which business is casing off which Is taken as proof that there is a slow but noticeable slowing up of the slowdown The Public Works Committee which Is continually having deal with Engineers and Consultants are quite correct In order and clarify the cautious terminology of experts in saying should be noted that a slowing up of the slowdown is not as good as an upturn In the down curve but it Is a good deal better than cither a speedup of slowdown or a deepening of the down curve and It docs suggest thai about right for an adjustment to readjustment Is month over last month Community Services Committee has certainly covered all heir responsi bill lies especially in turning to unemployment when they find a definite decrease In the rate of increase which clearly shows that there is a letting up of the letdown Of course If the slowdown should speed up the decrease In the rale of Incrcsc of unemployment would turn Into an Increase in ihcraleof decrease of unemployment the deceleration would be accelerated The Planning and Development Committee has always been very basic and down to earth in all the reports and consequently arc true form when they point out he Indicators suggest rather a levelling off referred to on Wall Street as on rock bottom This will be followed by a gentle pick up Ihan faster pick up a slowdown of the pick up and finally a levelling off again If may summarize my conclusions by reporting Ihol It is hard lo tell before the slowdown is completed whether a particular pick up is going to be fast at any rale the Is right for a pickup this season especially if you arc about unmarried and driving a red convertible Yours truly Donald Gordon Mayor Meaningless Statistics were up one point five per being produced are In turn producing Looking through our files YEARS AGO Three

list of general occurrences in vcsltgoted by the North detachment of Keynesian economy fails ByDONOIIEARN Park Bureau In his budget speech Darcy McKcough gave a key quote We used think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending I tell you In all can dor that that option no longer exists and that insofar as it ever did exist It worked only by injecting bigger doses of inflation Into the economy followed by higher levels of unemployment as the next step That Is the history of the last twenty years This quote was from James of Britain at the moment the worlds most eminent socialist TWO SIDES And It expresses succinctly the basic philosophic difference between our two sides in Ontario politics today There are four key economic problems facing the government the world today These arc unemployment Inflation productivity a somewhat lagging economy Actually the economy lagging as much as is the general impression The GPP grew by per cent last year In constant dollars which was down only per cent from the last fiscal year To meet these problems he NDP and to some extent the Liberals would lower con taxes and increase government spending While the government takes position of restraint contending that the spending method would be only patch work which In the long term would only aggravates four of Ihe basic is wedded towards form or the old economics which really doesn t apply in present situation Keynes held that In time of depression you should spend and in of prosperity you should lighten up Aside from whether this would ever apply to any degree any more in our complex society the fact is that today we arc not in a depression We are In economic trouble But it Is not a depression PUBLIC AWARET A big problem facing the government whether it can make the public aware of this The opposition position Is very seductive Cut taxes increase spending more money and more jobs Eureka Also of course a good segment of the public that went to university soma time ago was Indoctrinated with Keynes and wedded to him The most pertinent point that the government can make to drive Its point through could be to stress the resulting In from the spending approach
