the HERALD Home Newspaper of I rflb Since 1806 A Division of Canadian Company Limited Georgetown Ontario PAULJ TAYLOR Publisher and General Manager Editor DAVID BEATTIE Advertising Manager PHONE dm Pitt THE HERALD Wednesday IT Backbencher push may be sufficient What the federal Progressive Conservatives are trying to portray as something the Liberals ought to be ashamed of may be just the ticket Canadians are hoping for The past week saw the Tones gleefully riding Prime Minister Trudeau back because some of his caucus members are malting a strong case for the government to take some actions which will help alleviate the plight of more than a million ployed and suffering Canadians The most public demonstration of Liberal concern came in a tation from a group of Quebec MPs in eluding two cabinet ministers who urged the prime minister to do something for Canadians who are being hurt by the government economic policies Later another group of Liberal backbenchers admit ted to lobbying Finance Minister Allan in much the same man The Tones of course have been trying to capitalize on the political angle by playing up the expressions of concern as an indication of a rift in Liberal caucus ranks The political gamesmanship revolves around the idea of party solidarity which dictates that nment party MPs back the policies of their ministers and keep their com February is Heart Month- How dieting relates to heart disease taints for private expression within le confines of the caucus While it may have Its purposes party solidarity is not always the most politically advantageous stance for in dividual MPs who must face the hostility of constituents when they return to the riding Obviously some Liberals have decided that it would be more to their benefit to be seen to be urging their leadership to action than to share the unfavorable image the leadership has generated by Its unswerving commit ment to the present economic policy The pressure of the manoeuvrings going on within Liberal ranks seems to be producing some ac Hon at the ministerial level The word was out by weeks end that the nment was devising job creation programs to get some of the unem ployed back to work The prime minister has also been reported to be floating the idea of voluntary price and wage controls and getting some favorable reactions from many quarters It remains to be seen what programs flow from these two direc lions but the reports would seem to in dlcate that despite what many think the government has not given up on the situation and may yet have an idea or two to put into practice Courtesy Dally Mercury HEART Old and Heart Disease Third in FourPart Since Ok of the risk actors a woe la ted with heart disease ami stroke much controversy has arisen over and high blood fat levels and their relationship to heart disease and Stroke This Is particularly true w In regard to the dietary intake of cholesterol Several merited population stud have identified

hand the opponents quote stud which suggest thai the Intake of cholesterol may not to healthy people and thus presumably to the majority of the population Their definition of healthy Is Itself contentious However those who favour this approach alio feel that restrictions on the on of food high in cholesterol are necessary only for people who are predisposed toward hypercholesterolemia or excess of cholesterol in the blood However there Is still a large area where agreement Is general and this is substantial by Informal on contained Heart Foundation pamphlets and Department of Health

first aamal Terra Casta Ana it had a Mr was Theyre far Reading between the lines of PMs searing rhetoric By Stewart MacLeod Ottawa Bureau of The Herald When Prime Minister got a load off bis cheat In Vancouver a few months ago by telling his listeners that among other things they djdril know what was going on In the- rest of Canada be was roundly condemned for Insulting his audience In fact one member of the Liberal audience shouted exactly that although this dldn I appear to phase the prime minister I am sorry if I insult you he shot back I was really giving you more credit for your intelligence that I know you deserve There no doubt about It when Pierre Trudeau decides to throw out a bit of scorn there are no halfway measures with him And its not the least big surprising that considering the manner In which he lectured his listeners that night he would receive a great gob of criticism Despite M years a leadership we re still not used to being told off by our politicians 1 ve gone back over that speech delivered In Vancouver and yes it easy to see why some members of audience would be upset But taken in Its full contest it diffcult to quarrel with the prime minister message MESSAGE CLEAR His remarks may have been delivered to British Columbians but he was clearly speaking to all Canadians and what he was saying is that we re taking loo much for granted we re not working hard enough at being Canadl and we spend too much time bitching about things It all poured out of him at the end of his prepared speech when he obviously felt exasperated You be the lost to know about your mountains he told his listen and 1 think CarudJona will be the lastonestoknowaboutlhLscountry it will take the people from Hong Kong and Japan and the United States to know this country and explain it to us Maybe Canada la too big for us he mused aloud Maybe we can hold it all together He said his thought came to him earlier In the day when he poke to high school and wondered what they would give to country when they grow up Canadians are not really concern about their country now really are they he asked You know they 11 applaud when you have the flag and all that but are they really asking themselves what shape It taking and what direction It been going JUSTIFIES LOCATION These he went on are questions thai Canadians should be asking themselves as they go to bed each night And In a particular reference to Vancouver he said that despite great assets great wealth and great people you re full of doubts about the future And it was at this point that he unloaded a bit You re terribly unaware of what a happening in this country terrible unaware Perhaps Canada is simply too big for us he said but at least we should ask ourselves the questions and we should seek the answers and I don believe that we really have been doing that In justifying the location for his remarks he said that Vancouver because of time zones was the last Canadian city to turn out Its lights at night and It a the right city to think these things because you have the last chance for us all And for those who love this vast and wonderfully free country Oils whole country this one country there Is only one road to follow that road leads towards ever closer unity among Canadians It a really a pity that this speech by Trudeau is being remembered for Its socalled Insults Its the overriding message that should really be remembered Heres hoping auto makers listen to ministers message Queens Park Derek Nelson Park Bureau at The era Id Home truths can hurt But some times they can also galvanize people One hopes that is the response of Canadian automobile Industry and the federal government to a speech hereby Industry and Tourism Minister Larry Grossman Sponsored by the Automobile parts Manufacturers Association it was dubbed a special emergency meet Ing on the auto an industry that Is In deep trouble 1901 production was down more than per cent from the peak ear of and was the lowest s nee in Canada and the US This year is expected to be worse IS per cent of the North American automotive labor force Is on nite layoff and are estimated for independent parts Meanwhile Japanese car sales memly nue to climb And Grossman bluntly told the meeting why This a unwillingness to work harmoniously together towards common goats the major difference between the North American vehicle production system and the Japaaeae lion system he said He exempted none of the interest groups connected to the industry from blame vehicle manufacturer independent parts and material suppliers or trade unions Each attacks the others for the Industry s Ills The common theme is that limes are rough that each group is to look after Itself and that it Is up to the other groups to take the initiative Grossman said He suggested Instead that they should face reality together Candidly we must act In the knowledge that much of the North American vehicle lion system has priced and paid itself out of the marketplace he Id MUCH CHEAPER The landed cost of Japanese can Is It to less than comparable North American models The total labor cost advantage vehicle sold enjoyed by the Japanese was half due to lower wage rates and half due to higher productivity But Is not Just over paid workers and executives that are the problem the Japanese simply do the Job better They design assemble and market a car so hours a task that takes North Americans 144 hours Port of the reason that vehicle manufacturers and parts supplier not to mention trade union act like enemies the opposite of Iho sectors of the Japanese auto Industry respond to each other For example Grossman noted vehicle manufacturers want quotas at the same time they In turn buy overseas to the detriment of our domestic
