trend today is for everything to get bigger It happens in government housing industry and education Haiton Hills is replacing the smaller municipalities of the past The looming apartment blocks which now house more than half of Torontos population are much more lucrative for developers than single dwellings Suppliers of scarce products such as the raw materials for plastics now that we have an energy crisis do not want to bother dealing with small manufacturers And little schools like keep getting closed while large ones are being built Some people would insist that the is good that bigger is naturally better Others are seeing some of the dangers of a society where not just our goods and our foods are mass produced but also our homes and our childrens education We are becoming what a distinguished sociologist called faces in the lonely crowd losing our identities and our values The trend is nude vvoise in that people have so little choice in the matter We elected regional councillors and named our new municipality without ever voting on the larger question as to whether we wanted regional government Two years ago Nurval people opposed the decision to close their school

food and supplies from the affluent industrialized nations of the West The problem is ex to persist and one can only ope that relief and other long range solutions may be for Incoming and intensified

what 10 is all about author and contributor placement committees will be empowered to place 14 year and year old students who are not benefiting from existing school programs into an out of school program or ac Education minister Thomas Wells made the announcement in presenting ministry spending estimates to the legislature Mr Wells said the new program docs not reduce the age at which a student may school which is now 16 Students placed In other programs which could In elude employment or a combination of school and employment will remain on the rolls of heir school until Ihcy are Mr Wells said that the new program is being introduced because or the ministry concern for a small highly select group of and 15- yearolds who do not seem to benefit from existing programs The new program he said is not an escape valve for a par group of students but rather reflects a recognition and acceptance of the fact that legitimate learning can occur both in and out of school There is no reason why students could not earn credits where port of the credit is earned In school and the other portion earned on the job in actual work related experience Students will only be placed In Ihe new program after full consideration of their Individual cose by Ihe local school board placement committee Mr Wells said Plea Made For Stamps Sir Please tell your readers of my plea for used postage

headache nervousness liver and kidney ailments heart disease feeblemlndcdness and a thousand other ailments never been constipated In my life know who follow the same diet as I are constipated I do have hemmorholds and arthritis occasionally and I am definitely becoming feebleminded but I ve had none of those other things though I try not to think of my liver Defective secretions indeed What kind are you supposed to have Effective secretions Don t think I m knocking this book I think John Lust is on the right track even though it has many turnings I haven t seen any signs of feeble

bugging or the more sophisticated term surveillance reference is to the odious invasion of privacy now familiar to everyone as result of Watergate The Bill before the House of Commons to outlaw the possession and use of wiretapping devices will result incredibly in the first law of its kind in Canada At resent It is perfectly legal you to carry on electronic surveillance of your neigh your business com pell li or or anyone else The evidence heard by the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee over the past six months showed that the practice is widespread especially among business competitors Investigative agencies gathering in formation on insurance and Job applicants and among police forces The Bill before the House recognizes the fundamental human right even necessity to privacy at the option of the Individual It will prohibit with a five year Jail term for violation the use of electronic and mechanical devices tape recorders hidden microphones long range or boom microphones telephone line interceptors etc to listen lo record the private conversations of BASIC PRINCIPLE As can be ex pec led all members and parties heartily endorse this basic principle However there is some disagreement on the exceptions to the rule and the controls to be placed on the exceptions The Bill will exempt police forces from the general prohibition provided they first establish lo a judge that they must wiretap to prevent or solve a particular serious crime It also presently allows Ihe police to use a wiretap without prior Judicial ap a I in an emergency that Is where there is no time or opportunity to obtain the Mixed Pans For Gardener If you ve got a gardener in the family or Just someone who likes you don have to choose only one plant per pot Mixed pans as theyre called are becoming popular because they offer a variety of plants in a single container Often a mixed pan will Include a pepper plant some asparagus fern a geranium a begonia and perhaps coleus or dusty miller says Dave Sangster a ticuttural specialist with the Ontario Ministry Agriculture and Food tor Christmas a typical mixed pan might include a single red surrounded by white chrysanthemums If you purchase a mixed pan be sure to find out what color combinations you II get when the blooms appear and the temperature and watering required or the plants in the collection After blooming many mixed pan plants can either be repotted as single or planted cm I doors next spring necessary approval The penalty for misuse of these powers by Ihe police is a fine The evidence Ihey gather as a result of the wiretap such as the finding of a gun a body or stolen money may still be presented In court against the accused Therels a basic flaw in this approach The police will present only the evidence the gun body money etc at the trial They will not reveal the illegal wiretap why should they subject themselves to a line and thus easily circumvent the purpose of the Bill that Is to allow wiretaps only under judicial supervision The way to Insure this control is to make any evidence ob tained by an improper wiretap at Ihe trial This rule would Include the tape itself and the evidence it may lead to gun body etc Such an amendment was made by the justice committee with members from all parties agreeing It insures that the police follow the accepted procedure when they wish to invade our privacy If Ihey don nothing they leam can be used in court The minister of justice is waging a battle in the House reestablish the original rule I feel he is wrong and that such a move would open the door to calculated abuse or this long overdue and wise prohibition against Ironic surveillance If you have a problem idea comment criticism or if you simply wish to get in please my riding office

Lewis was what the economic prospects of he province appeared to be in view of the energy crisis The premier said he t even publicly discuss this until he had facts There was a govern ment study underway which would provide these facts Anything he said in the meantime would be hypothetical and In view of the situation would be irresponsible Mr Lewis and his party benches derided him for lack of planning but he was adamant He wouldn speak until he was sure of what he was talking about The premier of course was right Any statement on energy today can be dynamite One only has to watch the tribulations of the stock exchanges to appreciate this And any statement that Isnt well founded on fact and clear certainly la irresponsible and dangerous With energy changing almoMdaily cool heads arc to be called for and But at the same time the statement will not be too long In coming for the energy situation has bred many economic uncertainties KEY Internally that It perhaps will not ft too much Impact on industry and business Supplies of electricity are good and with coal oil gasoline and natural gas It would appear they probably will be adequate though more costly The home economy In Ontario seems to be in not bad shape But with the crisis situation In the US our external economy is another matter It has already become apparent that US energy shortages could affect production in many fields In that country Then has been talk of reductions In everything from panty hose to steel And If production were to go Into a serious decline across the border It could hit our exports The US is by far our biggest customer And exports are a main artery In our economic health So that while we may not be In an energy we could through association land in something of in economic crisis
