woman in the crowd stood holding a baby and asked Garth Turner why he had changed his stand on abortion What would change your mind that the unborn baby child deserve protection sht asked the MP The woman said she voted for Mr Turner partially because his is opposed to abortion My personal beliefs are pro- life he said But I am the representative of voters What I am saying now is the same thing I

Hilts Action for Nuclear Disarmament Investors want a hot tip Want to save the world You can do both with a new type of investment that will salve the consciences of many investors It getting harder to invest these days Putting money into a bank or a mutual fund often means a high rate of return but it can also mean financing corporations that do things you might not agree with building weapons for the arms race doing business in South Africa or polluting the environ ment Now Canadians can direct their capital to socially responsible com panies and cooperatives through ethical investment A couple of years ago I started socking the baby bonuses into the Ethical Growth Fund a mutual fund run by the Vancouver City Savings Credit Union Its policy is to invest only in Canadian com panies which make non military products or services maintain good labor relations and refuse to do business with countries where there is racial inequality Perhaps it was risky put the kids money into a fund too new to have any performance record but I luted its style How did it per form Its 15 per cent of return in first year surpassed the to Stock Exchange composite and last year it performed better than almost every other mutual fund in Canada Sometimes nice guys do finish first An added attraction in this case is that there no income tax on the earnings Baby bonus money in vested for a child is deemed to be hers and she declares the income It also nice to show the children that the way their money is used can and does make a difference Other ethical investment funds include Energy Probes s En Investment Fund and funds in Edmonton and Winnipeg You can make one large invest or smaller monthly con tn buttons Recently a speaker on marketing told a group of ex ecutives that the bywords for
