Home Newspaper of Hills WEDNESDAY JANUARY It A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Main St South Georgetown L7G 3ES Ontario WILLIAM Publisher BOB RUTTER Editor Experiments conclusions in two years Halton Region is the first restructured municipality in Ontario to designate its chairman role as that of part time It is a change in the accepted philosophy of the position and will be keenly watched by municipalities across Ontario to see If the ex works Morrow who was acclaimed by voters in Ward during the December municipal elections has been accepted by Halton Hills residents as a capable and hard working politician His drive ability and diligence in serving these residents will no doubt hold him in good stead as he approaches a new challenge in his political career To say his perception of the Job is unique is an understatement He is faced with shaping a council filled with divisive and opposing forces His first and major task during the next years will be to eliminate where possible parochialism which has been evident since the region was formed Mr Morrow chose a strong platform on which to base his He is prepared to return whatever powers are shown to be sorted at the local level and be will not attempt to overshadow the role and image of the four area mayors During a press conference Mr Morrow reiterated his opinion that the chairman should not usurp the power of council and abide by its direction It is a noble gesture which will take two years to see whether it is successful Mr Morrow is a man of strong On The Horn Front opinions and he may find that he will have to make these known to council during his tenure He faces criticism from several areas notably from fellow regional chairman who see their lob as a full time venture Indeed Allan his appointed predecessor said at one time aunnjt the past two months that he has worked as much as hours a week Peel Region chairman Lou Parsons commented following councils election last week that it will be a short time before both Mr Morrow and councd learn that the role of chairman is not part time But he is not concerned with anything more than what is hap pening in or what direction Halton will take during the next two years Regional council which over the past three years has been a loosely bonded group of 24members will find itself under tighter procedural control and this may be the key factor in whether council will finally resolve its most pressing issue of landfill management It is going to be an Interesting two years Time will tell whether the proposals for redefinition of regional powers and a chance to meet area municipalities as equals will work We can only offer our best wishes for success in Mr Morrow new endeavors What occurs in the next three years may offset the turbulant start Halton had in and set the tone for the future of a growing prosperous community dont care what we think I was sitting in a Hull restaurant the other evening surrounded by an enthusiastic group of junior college types who talked optimistically about possible Quebec separat ism me These kids all of voting age had not even mentioned the economic consequences of an independent Quebec Then I thought all those federal cabinet minister who talk of nothing else and all those statements about how undecided Que becers when told Independence would result In lower living standards would soon be confirmed federalists again Federal studies are under way to prove separatism would be an economic disaster Parti stud are under way to prove the opposite And here were those students some of them In such practical classes as engineering and electronics talking about culture langu age price and other aspects of separatism that having nothing to do with the almighty dollar Then again thought a recent state ment by Premier Rene to the effect that federal ministers and Prime Minister In particular have lost touch with the youth of Quebec He Mr Trudeau doesnt know what young are thinking now says the premier He out of touch I am certainly in no position to know whether Ihii is true evening in a Hull restaurant Is a somewhat Incomplete educat Ion but I think It fair to ask whether we are placing loo much emphasis on economics when we talk about the future of Canada I was always told that the surest way to drives teenage son away from home is o tell him he incapable of making it on his own BUT WHAT Yes I think a good case can be made for the argument that when and if Quebecers decide on Ihelr future economics will play only a minimal rile In lhat decision Trouble I have no idea what will play a maximum role And from many of the socalled I am not sure who does have these a rawer Trade Minister Jean Chretien has been of Canada will he absorbed by the Americans and then Quebecers will be engulfed by a urging sea of unlllngual Urban Affairs Minister Andre suggested an Independent Quebec would be plunged into lonely turmoil Union Leader Blron says that If Quebec separates some BOO francophones In other provinces would be abandoned to English And the former federal cabinet minister now a member of the Quebec national assembly says But be go into details and 1 would certainly be at a loss to explain a satisfactory tales campaign And Mr Trudeau comments on Ihe subject so far haven helped clarify the Issues at stake OFFERS VARIETY At various times he has emphasized the economic aspects saying we must defeat inflation and high unemployment to show discontented Canadians that It worthwhile that Ihe economy can perform In way which can meet his legitimate aspirations Then he has talked about making French speaking Canadians feels at home In all of Canada which must be seen as a desirable place to live This means not only desirable from an economic point of view which It must be for all of us but It also means desirable from the linguistic and cultural paint or view and that means that they must be able to feel that they can fulfil themselves in a cultural sense In a human sense belter in Canada than they could In a separate Quebec Canadians repeated and repealed We must all do our part if Canada is to be held together And has been louring Western Canada saying the thing In Quebec City Mr is saying It really doesn matter what is being said in English Canada Friendships between the two cultures can improve only when thereto a new constitutional arrangement So as concerned Canadians how do we make a practical contribution to national unity Two months after the Quebec election there don t seem any apparent answers And during that evening in the Hull restaurant when I noUced that all those young separatists were Ignoring economic Issues I also noticed they didn spend too much time discussing what was being said in Canada Actually I got the Impression they t care Hopefully they will remain In the minor Deprogrammingcutting to the core and restoring life to many young people By Gerry borough Deprogramming Is a word given birth to In the past decade as a result of the ever Increasing number at religious cults claiming young people from all walks of life Deprogramming can be free jr pavpd for Heartsick parents can spend tens of thousands of dollars on professional crammers in that their daughtcr can once again think for them selves and return to a normal life Cult ism is a form of religious worship preaching denial to the point where the cult member no longer functions as an individual Moon les the nickname given to members of the Unification Church founded by Sun Myung Moon has a philosophy built on I am your brain I the vine you arc the branches Young people joining this group enter training centres where family and personality are forgotten These Inno cent young people have a fresh appealing look about them The danger lies In their eyes which sparkle brightly as In a trance while they speak by rote of what their version of God Is doing for them They are brain washed to the point where only cult has meaning Moonles arc everywhere many con vass here in Kills The monies collected from this canvass ing are all turned over to the local centre and the vine Sun Moon watches his branch Another cult claiming millions of young people around the world In The International Society or Krishna Conscious The Hare Krishna cult is another religious group originating in India as on offshoot of Hinduism It claims young people on the average of 19to age The Hare Krishna devotee denounces parents and family background and adopts a new psychology sociology politics and a new culture Between the change in physical appearance and the change in name and a move to a distant temple a young person can be permanently lost to his or her family This losing of personal identity is where deprogramming comes In to he picture A deprogramming psychologist has called the process reality inducing therapy From a legal point of according to the cults who can afford to hire the best of lawyers deprogramming is a conspiracy to deprive people of their religious rights Yet freedom of thought is a very important right in our society and cult worship lakes this from the individual Young people todays are as always searching for something The cult offers security continuity and a feeling of belong It the only purpose in these groups is an of God and a simple loving life all would be But Hit real danger lies in the brainwashing no self quest ion that is fundamental to cult life It Is heartbreaking to Imagine parents hating to kidnap their own flesh and blood and whisking them away to a deprogramm centre in the hope of returning them to a free thinking Individual who places value Policy stated Several times during the post Tew weeks readers have asked The Herald why it has a policy of not printing names of individuals Involved in police occurrences It is not that The Herald as other newspapers does not seek that type of In Formation or sec a need for It to be made public but that by publishing ihLi in formation the newspaper holds as obligation to provide continuous coverage of a par charge against an Individual It becomes almost impossible to follow all court cases which might result from charges laid by police If a charge Is dismissed It must be staled publicly The Herald will continue as in the past to provide coverage of those crimes of a serious criminal nature by following the matter through the courts Newspapers have an obligation to report what is curing within he boundaries of circulation areas but they do not have any licence to malign Individuals through or insinuation The Herald is dedicated to this philosophy on family friends country and sell These cults appear to have strong politic overtones Hitler knew of the advantages of organizing youth beyond personal goals and personal well being all became all for the Fatherland Here is where the danger lies Deprogramming groups such as Freedom of Thought Foundation Parents Fighting Religious Com mimes by Retaking Their Children CLRF Citizens Engaged in Reunltlng Families these groups and many more like them see and cited by rote by the cult member The Individual la no longer one but part of the vine The Consciousness If left to grow unattended the branches these cults may in a surprisingly short time strangle us all The mind is the most powerful of all and who control minds have power beyond any nuclear holocaust or any other toys of war Churches ore tax tree and anyone can found a church Millions and millions of tax free dollars collected in the name of God by walking iambics ore one of the greatest dangers facing us today and as all vines in the beg they look so appealing until they are out of hand and strangle all in the garden Take care the means

probably never heard this quotation It Is a philosophy they subscribe to wholeheartedly With the education system carefully providing the early amusement ray child ren have discovered their natural bent with a vengeance namely school tri pa In fact for my offspring any period of time between excursions is considered nonexistent a suspension of time so to speak Schools tripe are inclined to creep

you store you have to count the cookie Is this now beginning to hit the NDP Is It now beginning to realize there is more than one side to this world It would seem It might be sharp change Such speculation Is prompted by reported statements by prominent members Pat Law lor and James critical of public auto insurance There absolutely against It But they could sec great deal wrong with it Even a year ago such a position by leading members would have been heresy First of the line of party promises of socializing programs In Ontario has uously been insurance And now no Not only that but the members based weir change heart on the experience of tho government in C lis auto insurance scheme was a disaster losing something like W0 million which they now not only recognize but admit rinding fault with another govern mci l Beyond this is the omega Sowhat la it a transformation and what caused it broad change The likelihood la that we are seeing start of a change in the and have been two of the party more enlightened mem But still they have been well aware of the party line and have adhered to It Their Insurance statements would not have been made without weighing the politic al implications and probably discussing them at least with Stephen Lewis If It is a change the most likely direction would be towards a broadening a widening of the spectrum of the concerns of the party It is noteworthy that in his explanation of his doubts on public Insurance Renwlck a former corporation lawyer noted that with drawol of the auto business from the private field in Ontario could lead to higher rates In fire theft and other casualty Insurance In the province This showed an appreciation of industry economic side the picture not expected from the The party of course knows as well as anybody that It has been not only weak but practically blank on economic questions and problems So now Is It going to try and counter this at least in Its public Imago Welcome If true But still don t look for magic overnight For reason because the party has a hard core of demagogues who change from Ihelr old thinking even at the end of a shotgun And then again the parly has a lot of catchin do and then an question If It ha the and minds to do this Lawlor for example said Ihe party was now looking for larger coverage and belter payouts This Is straight out of the liberal book The Grits have been preaching this all along
