What this country needs is a baby boom Georgetown Acton Wednesday Feb 23 Isnt it kind of nice to see the govern men putting the boot to some finaadal wheelerdealers for a change Instead of bluntly us common chaps that we must toe the line with and with in flation that the working man and the farmer are greedy and should be happy that swollen rates of usury bare come down and that theres a Big Rock Candy Mountain in the Sky if we Just continue to trust in it the government Ian t it kind of sad that a government should sit around on Its trig fat tail con- potbelly has so grown with pats on the shoulder campaign contributions and suggestions that whatever happens can be covered up or obfuscated by comforting stuff like You re doing fine Jack I love Just dont get caught Isn t it kind of nice that once in an tee age democracy actually works That a placid government even a majority one which usually turns over every contro versial issue to a Royal Commission which requires three years and millions of dollars to produce a report that nobody reads can be forced into taking strong measures by an Intelligent well p and determined Opposition and actually has to get off its butt before the fandango is danced to Its last note Isn t It amazing that government with it huge staff of experts in practically everything have a due that some trust companies are shaky people are polluting other peoples water we are building national and provincial deficits which will put our country fairly quickly in with the Third World countries our defence forces are a snigger around NATO our industries in general are still in the 1950s as far as equipment management and production ore con cerned t it be wonderful if someone could put the boots to the government as the latter has done to private enterprise The only person who can the Auditor- General and after a couple of front page stories which prove that the Canadian public is being sold everything but the Brooklyn Bridge be is swatted off like an annoying mosquito Wouldnt It be great If people actually read the statement of the bishops that people are more important than policies rather than Why dont they stick with their beads or If theyre right why dont let the Canadian Manufacturers Association rewrite the Ten Commandments Wouldn It be simply splendid if some nonworking housewife who has been putting in hours a day seven days a week for years walked up and gave cabinet minister Judy Erola a tax allowance for nonworking spouses This is the worst column I nave ever written Nothing but questions Of course they dont need answers because they are rhetorical questions too long Too many clauses beginning with which If a student offered this as an essay I would rip a to ribbons Maybe its because becoming confused like everybody else in this country But who normally a decent responsible citizen willing to share to contribute to work out better can be anything else but confused when he finds himself surrounded by venlality and apathy in high places In places fury In low places and whimpering from all directions can keep himself looking at the plateaus rather than the valley There I go again Another rhetorical question Another ramljisg sentence K Lets get off this querulous note I getting as bored as you are No more questions Short sentences Right Right Getting rid of is no solution Nor is Joe Clark who would sell his aged grandmother on the slave market to become prime minister again Even for two weeks What this country needs is another baby boom It would take a couple of years to get it going but If the whole nation got down to it the economy would soar once again All our industries were geared up to the fantastic boom of babies after World War Everybody needed diapers booties baby buggies toys smashed

internally If corporations could solve their own problems consultants would be out of busi ness David Williams of Williams and Associates In Acton claims Williams a quality assurance consultant responded strongly to comments made by management consultant Gordon Bonner In an article In a recent Issue of this news paper that companies could solve their own problems There are no doubt problems that com can sort out by themselves but they still need an unbiased outside opinion but the arrival of those products at their intended destination on the promised delivery date We do that with telephone- follow up after the order la placed company visits written guarantees and generally pushing until the products arrive Williams explained The expediting service is a cost saving process If a manufacturer has to close down his assembly line because certain parts have not arrived he loses money Public meet on quarry blasting There will be a public meeting next month for citizens concerned about blasting from the Indusmln quarry Friday at the Acton councillors dropIn Councillors Miller and Ross revealed they had met with industry and provincial officials about blasting com plaints that morning Councillor Sheldon was also at the meeting Councillors have been probing the noise and house shaking problems resulting from the blasting for some time now Also at the Friday morning meeting were three Indusmln officials two others Involved with seismograph monitoring of blasting two representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources one official from the Ministry of Labor and two representatives of the Ministry of the Environment Miller explained they found out the blast travels out two ways through the air and through the ground The impact from the blast through the ground travels only a short distance its the waves from the blast going through the air which make homes shake One day people will hear and feel a blast another day the same charge Isnt felt Its all because of the weather the councillors noted On a cloudy overcast day when the wind Is blowing a certian way it will be felt Indusmln tries to avoid blasting when the weather is condusive to people feeling the blast but because weather can change rapidly sometimes they end up blasting when It Is overcast Weather may be perfect for blasting when they start planting the charge but be poor by the time they have to set It off The Ministry of Labor for safety reasons wont allow Indusmln not to set off a blast once the charge is planted A date for the public meeting will be announced in the future CAMPAIGN
