idea ByBOBRUTTFR Herald editor Fred has come up with a better idea In the fight to conserve energy Or ralher Ihe yearold Nova Scotlan resident has a step backward and come up with a winner A wireservice story recently detailed how the Air Canada technician built a log cabin and insulated his roof by using sod It alive and he mow every now and again for dandelions and see that it doesn create problems But it sallowed him to heal his home a wood stove since it dried out and indications are winter weather sees no heat loss through roof because frost a on the grass Not only is he achieving a saving on fuel coot and consumption but he total coal of the roof whs about to per cent of he coal of a conventional roof His idea may start renewed thinking among home designers to provide what may be Ihe ultimate insulation for roof construe lion ft also a renewable resource that can be used and reused without great concern about the loss of a valuable resource I and don forget you read It here first sod roofs will become the rage In new home construction within the next decade Meanwhile out on the west coast a new radical approach Is being taken to hillside construction on he shores of Vancouver Stilts arc being used construct homes bulldozers ore allowed remove any of the and natural growth is maintained for drainage in an effort to prevent erosion and other problems now experienced in such settings But there have been problems associated with the development of a of homes In hat area Local authorities while endorsing the plan have no criteria for inspection The provincial government which has two ministries involved In inspection of elevators and trams can decide who has the responsibility for a tram cum elevator an inclined railway really which will lake residents Up he side of the hill from large parking lot below well federal mortgage inspectors have been caught in a over the lack f bulldozing of tree stumps and other ground level growth under homes as regulations now prescribe will be Interesting to watch the development of this subdivision because the principles applied In this case may also be applied across country in other areas Some day we might find our present hazard lands which do not provide a censer ration environment natural habitat or cultural use becoming an area where our expanding population can dwell for Ihe good old days and wring our hands impolenily about loss of values or spend hours over decrying ikdown of family and the advent of I fit permissive the nonviolent hard working communities do some- ihey live heir beliefs But look what they gel for Do we try In some small way emulate them Do we encourage their peaceful attempts to live us they feel right wilhoul infringing on our rights lo and spend more Incredibly no

ralher thin residential linds he drafi proposals for the regional official phn v before public seems odd that while council professes lo support the pnnci pie of saving farmland one of lis committees is innsiigiiing the use of farmland for road purpi ses When ihe phn for redesign of Trafalgar back for it is hoped members will attempt approve the project without need for farmland use If not hen would appear lhal he good intentions and principles under which council operates applies only to devel of homes If indeed the spirit of policy is lo save farmland then it must be lo ill situations and

check my schedule for this afternoon oh yes well like I said these things happen you win a few you lose a few But hove to dash now 1 due to tec off in an hour You know how is Too ridiculous to be token seriously I wonder What comes across loud and clear is a total disrespect for human life or human dignity of personal prejudices or cultural exchanges we would probably all agree that no such person should ever be doctor should ever be in the position of holding another life in his hands Such a person has a complete lack of human understanding compassion sen but most of all he disregards the sanctity of life and places little or no value on No matter how often a doctor looks upon the face of death it Is something he never becomes comfortable with The life of each and every patient is a sacred trust a trust that is never taken for granted Each day doctors face life and death decisions They never come easy it never becomes a matter The willful taking of human life is a heinous we call it murder There is arm thing about an act of murder that strikes a cord within the deepest part of the human soul Who among us remains unmoved upon a brutal slaying How much more so if the victim is an innocent child Today there is a mass of faceless sheep in guise of womankind who are led to believe have the right to take a human life These misguided souls seem to be under the illusion thai

moy as well read murder on demand We have laws that protect our wildlife Save a Seal Save the Canadian Bison Save the Timber Wolf hunting restrictions ito preserve the species wildlife sanctuaries We protect defenseless things yet what Is more defenseless than an infant Where Is our cloak of protection lo save this most Innocents The danger of abortion on demand Is that it places little or no value on human life Where heart beats there is life and the human heart begins to beat on or about the twenty fifth day after conception By the time a woman finds that she is pregnant the infant tobe has a beating heart a beating human heart One cannot over emphasize the danger of ralionalliing when humanity begins If we rationalize the unwanted child should be denied life Tor the comfort of the mother the possibility of future neglect his safety from hunger hi right too lifeof quality how long is before we cry out against suffering blind weak the Infirmed the crippled who may all lack a life of or someone version of It Abortion Is something thai already exists The life of the mother always takes precedent but itts always a careful weighing of one life against another by those who are not emotionally involved No doctor knowingly endangers the Ilfc of his patient No doctor knowingly brings a off spring into the world Rape is an ugly crime no woman should have endure such on act without the righl to deman Justice for her human dignity But to use rape as justification for another human Indignity is equally wrong Abortion on demand does not safeguard our young it docs Just the opposite The young are now and always will be somewhat foolish and headstrong Emotionally ihey lack and experience You cannot put an old head on young shoulders It is often said if Is true that wc have to build our laws taking into consideration the emotional Instability of youth Abortion on demand allows an already highly emotional young person sanction for lack of preparation for lack of maturity Maturity is ihe ability to see down the road ahead maturity demands preparation and forethought For the older woman abortion on demand offers little Abortion Is not something that Is very quickly forgotten Paul a noted German physician and author says No woman can gel over an abortion without suffering mental harm Prom time of conception the body prepares for pregnancy The body and lie hormones have already decided on pregnancy When mind decides otherwise Kune says result amounts to a violation of Ihe soul by the mind Very often the price is a variety of psychosomatic disorders that last a lifetime pregnancy lasts only nine months Recently I was told that I should come into the century a man still zips up his pants and walks away while the woman is left to pay piper That fine but what of the emotional scars when dealing with the fact lha you knowingly killed your own offspring Whether women like It or not they have to decide to take a life Man has yet to make any great Improvement redesigning nature The lime for action takes place before conception not after true and being swayed by the moment is a human failure But do we have to compound that failure Abortion should only be considered as a life and death emotional death Included situation Abortion is something that must always beheld In the moat delicate of balance Tor if pendulum swings and a woman can demand a life as her right we will have lost forever the sine Illy of life If he blind m Mind nd right must push something let them push preparation on demand Abortion on demand does nothing to solve battered babies by stopping the of babies and barbaric solution Abortion on demand Is murder on demand and God help ail if that every becomes anyone right A friend in need indeed By STEWART MaeLEOD Ottawa a Of The Herald In looking at how the prime minister finds all these jobs for his former cabinet colleagues we mentioned the recent appointment of M Bud Drury to the further to see whether Trudeau devotion to this close circle of colleagues is in the beat interest of the country There is no doubt about qualiflc lit ions and experience He was educated at Bishops College Royal Military College McGIII University and the University of Paris and during ihe Secondworld War be reached of brigadier the age of He was a hotshot young diplomat after the war and in 1949 the age of only 37 he became deputy minister of national defence And entering politics In he held different portfolios until his resignation from cabinet In 197G During his entire period In Ottawa be established a well earned reputation a lough nononsensendministralor If he bung led any bureaucratic projects no one seems to know them One colleague has describ ed him as perfect company director mclhlng he did between his bureaucrat and political car era BIG INFLUENCE Within cabinet had an influence and it was obvious that rehedhcavllyonhimforadvice But when be resigned from cabinet 16 months ago he sold it was lime for younger voices be heard and he wanted to make room for them Drury was hen But when the prime minister establishes a profound rcspact for someone s ability he tales see them go to pasture There are dttens of examples of him recycling old colleagues through unrelated careen When resigned Trudeau lost no lime in recruiting his services as a special representative for const ilutional develop ment in the Northwest Tcrrilorics But this assignment I been entirely smooth sailing for the old administrator He has rubbed some native groups ihe wrong way some don i want to meet him and he has been criticized for not spending enough lime in But the criticism dtdn t rattle the prima minister When this latest vacancy arose and Trudeau looked around to see who should become the new SCO year head of toe National Capital Commission be slopped at whose work in the Northwest ics is not complete I have every confidence In his ability do a great job said the prime minister goes without taring But with al candidates availableforajobirtetlds it fair to question Trudeau choice STRANGE CHOICE The chairman of the National Capital Commission has to work different regional governments and organisations In coordinating the development of the capital The hassles are constant swapping buildings for parkland bringing on bicycle pathways trying to reach agreement on grants in lieu of taxea and struggling maintain a cordial relation ship with separatist government in Quebec which a federal pre sence across the Ottawa River In Hull And while Quebec I the federal government In Hill Ihecilyof Ottawa certainly doesn t want it either The biggest federal related Issue in the city right now the large scale transfer of public servant to ncwbuildingslnlfult Ottawa now has nearly four million square feet of vacant office So with this in mind it passing strange thai Trudeau should pick Drury whose hard nosed determination played a Urge role In the government moving so many people to Hull And later as minister of public works was ullimatUy responsible for the new office buildings to house these workers The mayor of Ottawa certainly didnt welcome the appointment and it unlikely that Parti Qucbecois government will regard the former Liberal a family You can respect loyally and anyone who knows would certainly respect his ability and his great to the country but in this case I think the prime minister should have looked a bit farther afield as though needs money Bible Digest Moreover as for me God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you but I will teach you Ihe good and the right way Samuel In light of this should never take lightly a prayer request or a burden that comes to our mind to pray another IMtt ly Milan IB Mvtrlli inoomt
