the HERALD Home Newspaper of Hiib Since 1866 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited I i i Manager 1 IMHtsI Mill I Vane Till Tuesday June JIM Second Class Mai Registered Number Terry Fox Newfoundland through Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and Quebec and into Ontario Terry Foxs Marathon of Hope crossed all borders to reach Into everyones heart He left Newfoundlands east coast early In 1880 and outpaced the spectre of his own rate for nearly 3 miles before It caught up with him in Thunder Bay With tears In his eyes he told newsmen of the secondary cancer that spread to his lungs then flew home with these hard but ultimately generous words m going to do my best to get back here and start again but if I don make It the Marathon of Hope better go on without me On an In ternational scale Terry Fox think ably bold and courageous un der taking was an exciting graphic display of youthful determination and hope that raised some million for the fight against one the worlds biggest killers On a national level Terrys trials and tribulations were a unifying force barely acknowledged In the eastern provinces at the outset of his run the coasttocoast wave of sympathy and Inspired support that finally washed over him last summer In Ontario was a loud proclamation of national solidarity albeit a shortlived oneness of purpose whose memory will linger an to inspire new generations On the local stage politicians and the usual VIPs took a courteous backseat to the college kid from B C while the cancer unit and several friends gazed In awe at a slight but strong boy whod hopped all the way from the Marl times in pain and enduring initially racing the possibility of his campaign financial failure At a personal level there Is that recurring Image of Terry alone on the highways or New Brunswick and Quebec before the media finally realized the scope of his story and before it dawned on any of us that he might really make it across Canada Picture Terry that spring with few curbs ide fans to applaud his effort and only caslonal vehicle escorts to secure his route and proclaim his presence Think of the vast distance he jogged just to reach Ontario then the applause began Terrys death Sunday morning strikes us not so much with a sense of loss but a sense of sacrifice let us offer up this ex ordinary young mans life and his worthwhile efforts as a demonstration for all generations that cancer can indeed be beaten yes even In spite of Terry death and that on a more universal scale these obstacles Inherent to life can be overcome not by one man deter mlnatlon then by a nations ho ring of love and hope Terry we promise you the Marathon of Hope WILL continue joys Stop picking on Joe Clark Its harder than you think TERRY FOX 19581981 Ottawa

all day Wednesday in Glen Williams low a Bureau front of mc is a letter from a lady in containing Incisive instructions to stop picking on Joe Chrk She thinks rightly or wrongly thai there has been too much of ihs kind of thing So just as television networks issue those viewer discretion warnings to children 1 feel obliged lo issuoa reader discretion warning lo that nice lady in I am pick on Joe Clark again It not that I particularly wont to In fact I like Joe Clark and I have a great deal of for the way he has battled back from that disruptive convention Months have passed since I had anything critical to say the troubled Tory leider Hut then he made of those trips into Quebec And so often hip pens when the Conservative leader visits IhatTory wasteland he becomes j 1st far too understanding Try as 1 m 1 recall one occasion on which Clark has failed to express some degree of understanding for events In the fact that his party has oil every MP from that province apparently dampened his ism QUICK This dirk has displayed a unique understanding for the fact that Premier R has himself lo sovereignty association independence separatism or whatever you wunt to It Just two months after he assured Quebec voters tint this wis not an Issue and there would be no if his part were mandate the premier now urging his militants to light ever for his cherished oat It remains our fundamental iommilnnnl he has said It ionic is any great surprise because I does hive a problem with separatist militants Hut bee this quick turnaround comes perilously close political dishonesty the premier Is going to have to Ire id very The majority of will remember that just three months ago the Parti yuebeiois official platform contained these Without detour or subterfuge up intend to respect the decision of the 1 And reference to sovereign ly this official platform lb the referendum result does not us lo steps toward this is tint or t if Nairn the would not forget about Quebec independence the very renson for its existence But Is it for the leader of a federal to express his heartfelt under standing or s difficulty MM Ill ejue Clark did say he was sorry lint the premier had the issue of sovereignty association But then as is his wont he kept on However I can understand why It happened The is obviously going to have take more extreme positions as lakes more extreme positions have a situation where Mr wants to change Canada from a federal system to a unitary one and 1 suppose that when Mr Levesque sees that happen he and his party arc inclined to try to change the federal system from a federal basts to basis of sovereignty association Again I want to apologize to that lady in Sarnia but what Clark said is an absolute crock Every last comma of proposals were known to Levesque when he went Into his election campaign declaring as I earlier point out that without detour or subterfuge wc intend to respect the decision of the May 19B0 rereren dum And at every opportunity he chose lo reassure that Independence was not an issue If Joe Clark as leader or federal party has any obligations in this area surely It is to remind Premier of his campaign commit The last thing he should be doing is telling he can understand why has been forced to revive the issue There arc many faults In Prime Minister constitutional proposals and Clark has done an admirable job of fingering them over the last six months But to suggest even in the moat tenous way that the pa trial ton package can somehow jusli fy the revival of the Quebec independence Issue Is Irresponsible
