Friday Halton Hills Outlook Outlook It Friday by The Herald home or a division of Canadian Company Guelph Street Georgetown Claim Mall- Number PUBLISHER Don EDITOR Dave Rowney ADVERTISING MANAGER Carl Smke MARKETING REPRESENTATIVES Pom Lowes Sharon Marshall Bo wen CLASSIFIED Terry Colter Elaine Kuyshyn WRITERS Am Brian MacLeod PRODUCTION Dave Hustings PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS MylesGilson Annie Olstn Lou Foreman ACCOUNTING Dave Walker Pauline Miller Tbeir Outlook Mission in Norway a very hot debate They re burning the midnight oil La Ottawa these days trying to how Canada might realign Us defence policies And one of int hot topics we gather Is whether we should continue our commit men I to help defend Norway The funny port of this is that some people are taking it seriously as If It mailers what Canada is commit ted to do should Norway be invaded The latest story to hit somi front pages has External Affairs Minister Joe Clark hinting that our com merit to send troops to Norway In time of war might have be withdrawn One would gel the impression from reading various accounts that should the hint here would be a lorrendous shift the balance of power Ottawa Report One Imagines that hint revcrbearating the Kremlin Wow the Russians could be saying now that we won to worry about the Canadians we can finally go ahead with our plans to in rale Norway Go ahead Join the minority and laugh What amazing is that so few people are enjoying a chuckle But hen official has always taken things too seriously In this case the Norwegians ore showing the some tendency REACT And It not all confined to of The Ottawa the to the subject of our mission In Nor way And after seriously weighing all the arguments It concluded that Canada must maintain Its commit merit to end that country For all kinds of political moral alliance and northern environment reasons we must not withdraw from Norway said tbe newspaper To its credit the editorial did not mention military reasons the fundamental for the commitment when it was made back In 1967 Editorial writers like lawyers know when its best to overlook certain evidence To raise the military aspect of this military agreement would no doubt involve reference to our recent prac run at defending Norway It took our troops three weeks to complete the friendly invasion largely because the equipment had he shipped on one and three Panamanian ships there is no guarantee these tubs would be available or thy In time of need We might hue to commandeer one of the Prince Edward Island ferries IMPACT In any event a senior military of was stating the last week when ho that if Nor way was Canadian troops get in within And unless the Russians or other potential preferably in writing fine us a start that isn I good would be a luck of d in go to the trouble of irter and Panamanian vessels and be late for war If there is thing best be on time for it an invasion Apart from everything else it embarrassing walk In late Gong hick to Ottawa Citizen editorial To discord this commit meni would simply not be understood nol by Canadians not by Norwegians not by NATO com maralcrs to differ Now that we have established It takes three weeks to get and Norway want foreign troops stationed during peacetime I have this gut feeling that Canadians Norwegians and even NATO commanders might learn to live without this particular Canadian security blanket But I hasten to add that If any of these groups show the tightest in disposition to the let by ail means leave things the way they No harm is being done and if anyone gels a kick out of being Nor ways defender what the heck I believe in capital punishment EDITORS The following was filed for publics ion In The Herald Dear Mr Mulroney I am Robin MacLeod as a con I would like to stale my opinion on the reinstatement of capital punishment I have seriously thought about il and I you should bring back capital punish another life in a planned way The Inst two people that were hung was in in Toronto Some people say you should feel sorry for the killer try to rehabilitate him I that it Is a wasli of time and tax payirs money rehabilitate so nieone They Ihit in Canada they will gin the killer life Life in Canada I life it is only yinrs Hie is only years Why do Judges that they ore gn lid VC J yon life when they V V if UK mini In love my worm hobby lorms so much 1 fill my Indue with stuffed with fresh worms should If I m so nuts about worms that I build a fronted worm farms nil over my living room shot Id my friends worry I m operating of course on the principle I live alone asking anyone else for help with the worm collecting I m digging on anyone else property and I certain don expect anyone else to love my worms m assuming thai not hurting anyone I just quietly enjoying my wwrms and not knocking door to door trying my neighbors in my worms I m minding my own business perfectly happy and con eiil and filled with a great deal of personal satisfaction Ann Landers would no doubt I lee a just as did for man who collects everything Ills friend wrote in lo say Bob collected dolls tonne books coins and old car parts He was restoring an old car in garage so his ruck which was kept on the street was stolen twice He drove miles a weekend to go to swap meets garage sales and wreckers The friend said the apartment was stuffed so full of Junk there was barely room get from the front door to the kitchen When his molhcr was in town she had stay In a motel because was no room at guy house The place was a fire Bob who was and who had a job never doted and had no Interests except collecting Ann aided with the writer who thought Bob had serious pro blems Ann said he was in dire need of counseling for But why If guy happy and not bothering anyone why should the friend care It appears that because the guy docsnl live up the friends and married or with a girlfriend there must be something wrong with him Ttiits like saying Picasso was sick le obsessed with his I he rush from dm ntr after a fish meilialcly make a with design of the fish skeleton baked the t he wear pants with the stripes going horizontally when be rest of world was wearing vertical he paint what could called Picasso labeled as obsess Maybe this collector is as much a genius in his own way Who knows what treasures assembled he has Edison type phonographs Won the look silly if It turns out this guy hod an eye for real treasures and place is worth a mint Not that monetary value should have anything to do with it One Omans The friend approve of the fact that Bob had borrow money to buy all this Junk But people row money buy fancy cars boats clothes shoes and furniture and toys They II borrow hundreds of thousands to buy a house Bob Just has Ions of material possessions in stead of a few As for the fire trap arc libraries if not fire traps Rows and rows of books magazines documents Should we close libraries Counseling is supposed to help so meone with a problem If Boh Is hap py why does he need fie working and he actively pur suing a hobby Sounds like fun to me driving GOO miles on weekends ex and looking for treasures And maybe Bob docsn like his mother staying with him If they say you arc toing to gel life in prison you should get life in prison Life In prison to mi means life only I fee thai punish ment should be brought back maybe there wouldn I be as many murders There are miny different of capital punishment that you could bring effect Some of the types of capital lint could be brought inlo effect are Hanging chair pulling the killer in front of a firing squad lethal lion gus clumber and I hi guillotine Capital punishment is a great Ihlng why should the killer live If you kill someone you should also die Pulling someone in Jail or reform school is unwise because in my view they get good treatment while they arc in there and when they arc parol they can kill someone else If one person kills another person they should also die Capital punishment is the best way to stop murder If capital punishment is brought back people will think twice before com milting murder Yours sincerely Robin MacLeod Thanks for your help Dear Sir I deeply appreciate coverage newspaper gave to Volunteer Week There arc approximately 1 IH2000 volunteers active in i every year The of this participation can be conservatively estimated at million dollars worth of work each year
