the HERALD Home Newspaper ot Halton Hills Established 1 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown Ontario GARNET COWSILL Publisher and General Manager DAVEROWNEY Editor PHONE J STEVEN FOREMAN Advertising Manager Milt Number Page A THE HERALD May 19SS How is toughest Its all very well to outline what can be done but a recent tourism study doesnt take Into consideration the costs or manpower involved in suggesting improvements The study released by Peter Barnard Associates of Toronto did a and thorough job in figuring out our weak points and suggesting ways to alleviate them However were wondering just who is going to pay for making tourism go Hills and elsewhere in the region Many of the r why wtjdont have the required attractions to bring in more tourists is because we lack the financial resources from the private sector to build up areas Here are a few examples The study noted at one point Halton Hills lacks motel and hotel space compared to our neighbors to the south But the market demands for more hotels just isnt evident Similarly it would be a terrific boon to tourism to develop either the Old Glen Mill or the Barber Mill for a convention centre but the costs of developing such a project would be enormous Would taxpayers be willing to subsidize a bold en trepreneurin an effort to bring more tounsm to town We also wonder why regional chairman Peter Pomeroy said the federal Progressive Conservatives were waiting to act on establishing a VIA Rail line to Acton based on this tounsm study When Halton MP Otto was in Acton the summer of he made it sound as if a VIA stop was a fait accompli with no mention of a tourism study to prove its worm Suggestions for improvements in tourism seem to us to be a job for private enterprise But do private businesses or even our local Chamber of Commerces have the capacity to make significant changes We look forward to the third volume of this study due this summer which will tell us how We reap benefits Hire a student this summer and well all reap some benefits Summer is the only opportunity in the year for our youth to gain job experience on a full time basis By hiring a student for the summer a firm is elevating ayoung trainees finding permanent employment when they graduate Students provide enthusiasm and theyre willing to try many different things in exchange for the confidence and teaching pointers shown by employers Employment statistics show our youth as being par ticularly disadvantaged when it comes to finding jobs It will take initiative by businesses to correct this All students ask is a chance to prove themselves To gain experience they peed to find a full time job expenen There are a variety of government programs available and all it takes is a phone call to the student em ployment centre If you can help a student with his or her future call No true isolationist ourselves then it might not be so bad but we can t the consequences of our actions touch everybody around us Even my friend the true isolation 1st forgot lhat he was married and had a family forgot that he was a part of a family and if he went off and did his own thing in the far reaches of norhtern Ontario he would be leaving behind him many lives that would be touched by his actions to a greater or lesser degree Wc cannot escape from our present merely by kidding ourselves that il doesn t exist Neither can we stand opart from our future The life that is given to us we hand on We give our children a heritage of Physical life and Spiritual character We are not selfcontained individual units lhat has Its beginnings in the mists of time and Its end is out of sight in the future A young scientist who believed only In the present and who proclaim lhat this life was all there was no future no life after death was set to study biology He was watching the birth life and death of some cell organisms He saw them being bom growing creating and dying Suddenly he stood up from the micro scope I am not alone and I do notendatdcalh lam a link In a chain It is a terrible responsibility we have we leave something ourselves in the world as we leave something of ourselves In our children Sowehavoan affair with mortality and mortals also have an affair with God We cannot stand opart from Christ In life Christ Is a constant presence Christ sees us all life is lived In his sight A man can more escape the Christ than he can escape from his own shadow There is no place that he can leave Christ behind there Is nothing that he can do unseen This is either a terrifying thought or a very comfort one It depends on your relation with Christ Not even death breaks our link with Christ In this life we live conscious of his unseen presence in the next wc see Him face to face Death Is a chasm that ends in obliteration It Is the gale way that leads to Christ No man can be a true isolationist no man can truly be the Master of ship and the captain of his soul He is bound to his fellow men and to his God by tics thai will not break Levesques future pessimistic Ottawa Report By Mi Everything being written by Quebec insiders these days points to the probability of Premier Bene pulling down the curtain on his political career the moment he gets the results of four provincial being held on June And perhaps Ihis will indeed be the scenario It t require an act of unusual courage to predict thai the Parti will fare rather badly in those byelcctions Quite apart from the fact that public opinion polls Indicate thai favor the Liberal party by a ratio of to it is also an Interesting fact lhat even in happier times for the the parly has always been incapable of winning Although it has successfully ought two provincial campaigns PQ has been defeated in successive ions And right now having been badly fractured by abandoning Its Founding principle of Quebec the party has seldom been so unpopular It pessimistic wonder there Is so speculation about omrai Queens Pork Dink lon much Mr HI I- ACTORS And quite apart from the practical political considerations there are still floating questions about the premier personal ability carry on There have been several occasions when his behavior seemed shall we say some what unusual and in January doctors said he was suffering from severe exhaustion furthermore within the last couple of weeks there seems to have been a disagreement between premier and Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson over the socalled Canada Clause which guarantees educational language rights in the Canadian Constitution II might as the minister said be just a question interpretation but considering the delicacy of constitutional debate In Quebec it was no fleeting incident In Tact It was after these conflict statements that several of the premier s longtime supporters began predicting of ihe record as usual thai he might not last long after the result- of those four by elect ions are known A candidate in one of the byclections who is strongly favored to win is Liberal Leader Robert Bouras His presence In the National Assembly would obviously increase the day today pressure on the troubled premier I ACES CONVENTION Mr and bis cabinet now are putting the finishing touches on the province proposal for reopening constitutional talks with Ottawa It Is assumed that the premier Is acutely anxious to reach agreement with the Mulroney government and thus put Quebec signature on the Constitution before another provincial election is held Having said that federalism should be given one more chance Ihe render would obviously like to prove Is point Some of his supporters think lhat If he can make constitutional progress that crucial election until next spring the last moment for him to go to the But first he must survive these four and Important the party national council meeting on June 13 One party source was quoted by The Canadian Press as The council meeting will be a catastrophe If the party is humiliated in the and Mr does not announce his departure And on the face of it that assessment would seem reasonable enough It just lhat the peppery little premier has worked himself out of so many seemingly impossible situations before one hesitates to accept the Inevitability of his demise Whatever else he is is a survivor of historic proportions However the Quebec Insiders who ore now so pesaimlsUc with their predictions know this belter than most us So I guess wc can assume lhat barring an astonishing upset In those byclections Mr Lcvesque Is about lo come facetoface with a crisis that for him appears unprecedented one sided By REV Peter BARROW Knox Presbyterian Church The other day a man said a very strange thing to me he said I am alone I can do without other people I am a true isolationist and it set me wondering whether we can ever be cntlrel alone Later on In the same week I happened to be reading the Gilford Lectures given by McNelle Dixon and strangely enough he was speaking of the relationship between man and God and man and roan and man and the Universe round about him He said Man has an affair with God and an affair with the mortals What he was saying is that we can neither untangle ourselves from God or from our fellow men We cannot stand apart from our past our present or our future A man is a mixture of every one and everything lhat has gone before him A man does not start from nothing he starts with all the things that his ancestors have passed on to him This is easiest seen in the outward things of life next time you see two ladles bent over a pram listen to their conversation He got his mothers eyes got his grand fathers mouth Hes got his great grandmother a chin andso they go on Add to what get from our ancestors hat which we learn from our parents and teachers from the place that we live and the people that we meet what he psychologists call our environ All these things conspire to make us what we are No man can disosaocl ale himself from the stock from which he springs although he does temper the material from which he Is made In his own particular way We cannot stand apart from our present Our society Is pushing us closer and closer together There Is nothing that anyone can do that affects only himself Anyone of us has Ihe power to make someone happy or sad equally we have the even greater power of making others good or bad wo could bind up the evil In our lives so that it affected no one but During the recent provincial dec tion on ill Leader Bob rejected as irrelevant the Communist Party a critical endorse ment of his party And It was They had too few votes to affect outcome in even one riding They are not even Ontario fourth party That honor belongs to the Libertarians who have out polled Communists total votes and per candidate for three elections a row Still there is another element to this one sided loveIn by the ist3forthcNDP That isthe question of why it was One theory has it that the Reds arc out to hurt the New Democrats by their support since most people in this reject the trendy line that Communists are people Just like you and me They of course They are the political arm of Soviet dictator ship operating In Ihis country for the promotion of Moscow In historical terms and the the CCF were strong opponents in the political and union wars of the 1930s through the 1950S It the

Chairman OLD FIGHTS The Communists even made tactl alliances with Conservatives to hurt the CCF as when the pair engineered the Ontario election with the goal of decimating the CCF It succeeded The Communist argument was New Democrats stood In the way of revolution by the evils of capitalism The reforms were more dangerous lo the Communists than was Conservative support of capitalism since Marxist history said he oppressed masses would naturally gravitate to Red arms as capitalism made life worse But that was the old days In the past years a more sophisticated Communist Party knowing Itself dead in electoral terms has done Its work for the Soviets In other ways Communists have either joined the calling themselves ex in the process or worked along side New Democrats In various organizations of a leftist or American of peace flavor NEW WAYS One mark of their success lo take a recent example is a visit by Soviet trade unionists to meet trade union lata here something the old CCF and union would have rightly considered an obscenity Or when former NDP member Mac Makarchuk invited a Soviet parliamentary delegation to the Speaker Gallery here to be welcomed as though they were the freely elected representatives of a fellow democracy But that kind of moral confusion pales beside thinking on the only aspect of Soviet Western relations that really matters military and security affairs The opposes our participation in NORAD NATO and Star Wars It seesnoSovletmllllary threat Much of its rhetoric In fact Implies It la the S that Is Iho threat to world peace and the Soviets who are aggrieved Thus it opposes cruise missile testing and defence production here such as parts manufacturing for the cruise COMMENTS What has this to do with provincial polities Nothing although Rao did say in the campaign there are no water tight jurisdictional compartments when it comes to ihe future of peace he was attacking Star Wars One could make the case that the election of the federal NDP would be fundamentally dangerous for the military security of the Western Alii and the 40year peace It has ensured However while relevant federally the Communist endorsement ally is simply an irritant which Incidentally Is why this column Is appearing the election rather than during it council added two more police officers to the new town force Monday when they hired Forrest
