DAVID BEATTIE Advertising Manager Second Mall Registered Number Page A THE HERALD November Remembrance Day services Sunday Lest we forget Jesus said A man can have no greater love than to lay down his life for his fellow man How much the soldiers who fought in the war must have loved their coun tries Our men must have believed with all their hearts that the family and friends at home were worth dying for They helped to preserve our past and enrich our future As a part of their future as a symbol of the many lives that were taken and denied any kind of future I wear my poppy with pride When think of the young men whose hopes and dreams were ex tinguished so that I may hove a bright future I feel sad yet grateful We all live in Canada in freedom and unity because of their strength and courage The poppy symbolizes these qualities and should be an Inspiration to us all to live as those who fought would have us live We have the veterans who survived the war to be an example Since theyve been there they know all too well what a disap pointment it would be for the world to In order for us to fulfill the dreams of our soldiers we must try to take on the qualities symbolized by our pop pies strength and courage Combining these attributes with a love for every man of every nation we may be a world of peace Isnt this the quality of life that man strives for And so as we on Remembrance Day place our wreaths around monuments of our brave soldiers we can be proud that our country is a free one As we stand in silence we thank God for this freedom and pray that the whole world may be free and peaceful This day of remembrance should be carried out in our every day life as we try to build a world for our dead soldiers to be proud of Through faith in God I know all our men who died for us have been given the peace that can only come from above words were like a promise I believe and I know all the surviving soldiers know that theres a special place in heaven for them An essay written for the Royal Canadian Legion by Gallant a Grade 12 student in Charlottetown PEI One mans tribute Albert Brooks the Acton resident who regularly contributes poems for this pages Poets Comer has written the following Remembrance Day poem We thought timely sentiments deserved a slightly different placement this week LEST WE FORGET Say goodbye to my Mother for me sad bury me near the shore Down where the big goat bang volley and roar They who live of who fell on allied land Soldier tbey must fight for this we understand Along my grave the beautiful flower may be I gave my

one man great power to hold Or with his might be get bold This world Is run by people some on a wicked scale Men with authority without love and truth they fall Letter from the editor Paul Hairy heroes the company that manufactures fuel fodder for the various friends of man had me In stitches last week with an editorial mailout about lis Purina Animal of Fame to which three new heroes two dogs and a cat have just been added Apparently the animals and their owners receive plaques at a special ceremony at Maple Leaf Gardens Pet lovers I suppose wouldnt find anything at all funny about the massive public relations program that has Immortalized 31 dogs 11 cats and one horse thus far because they cither averted tragedy or helped in one dramatic rescue or another Those rescued no doubt take It pretty seriously too Its absolutely amazing to me though bow many cots mustered the common decency to wake their owners when their house caught fire Most cats I know would awaken grumble about the smoke and nonchalantly pad out the back door In search of were involved In fire rescues Before I go any further know everyone Is Just dying to find out how the horse got in there I myself expected a tearJerking tale of some sympathetic mare deliberately letting a fox outrun the hunters but in reality It waa a quarterhorse called Indian Red who drew attention to an elderly woman lying In a snow covered ditch near Newmarket three years ago Amazing Then there was little Monster a Toronto mutt who broke his customary silence one night In 197S to rouse his master and thus foil breakIn at a stare adjacent to his home The year before a deafmute cat called Baby found Its St Boniface master unconscious after a heart attack went straight to his wifes bedroom and repeatedly Jumped on the bed until she awoke and followed the cat to see what was the matter The Hall of Fame is full of stuff like this endless stories about your basic household pots with cute names like Charlie Brown Nuisance Mr Lonesome and Brown Dog Alas the stories originates in Hilton Hills a Burlington cat named Patches being our nearest pet celebrity Perhaps I should write Purina about remarkably courageous pet I came across in Georgetown some years ago It all started when a locallyknown nomographer attempted to contri bute to the delinquency of minors by secretly stashing his most offensive material along the Canadian history shelves at the public library This disgusting person knew full well that local students would soon be pouring over the shelves contents in search of answers to their school history Before that could happen though Rags Peruvian a guinea pig who still holes up at the library was routinely wandering from shelf to shell as port of his appointed dusting duties To make a long story less boring Rags discovered that something was amiss between Laurent Louis St and Sir Also aware of the approaching students studies he set about eating every last scrap of pornography thus saving a number of Georgetown preteens from almost certain moral decay librarian discovered Rags courageous effort when sweeping up some remaining scraps and pellets later on Now that address for Purina In Fridays WEEKEND EXTRA GAR A tackles new problems Sylvia Tyson in concert In the Churches plus part ten of our church series Police radar returns Community news Hatfield brings artillery to constitutional bickering By Stewart MacLeod Ottawa Bureau The Herald Anyone still questions the proposition that this constitutional process Is divisive need only ten to New Brunswick Premier Richard Hatfield as he unleashed his latest harangue about his fellow premiers Wow he certainly let fly After that Montreal meeting of provincial premiers that was he one In which Ha and Premier Davis of Ontario were cheerfully Invited to take their leave the New Brunswick premier called It a shattering experience and he went on to suggest that the remaining eight provincial leaders were more interested in attacking Prime Minister than In constitutional compromises II was we all thought pretty strong stuff coming from a provincial premier Even In our peculiar Canadi an way of governing ourselves it Is not common for one premier to attack his colleagues particularly when they are cut from the same political cloth Perhaps we thought Mr Hatfield waa In the heat of the moment overreacting to the situation and after a period of cooling off he would declare that the Gang of Eight while taking a different tact than the expelled Gang of Two still had ho best interest of Canada at heart NO RETREAT Talk about a miscalculation Far from retreating one tiny step Mr Hatfield took one more day to think things over and then instead of taking potshots he opened up with his full artillery In his State of the Province address to the Chamber of Commerce he said that If the Gang of Eight has Its way that Canada may not survive And for part he would help to throw them out of office Now when a ConservaUve premier says that about some fellow Conser vative premiers one tends to sit up and take notice If they the eight premi ers win this fight the country wont survive because they have so blocked themselves Into a position that maintains the only rights that count aro provincial And after being asked to leave the Montreal meeting the premier made It clear it wont happen again At he next meeting over the discussion of the future of Canada theyll leave theyll be kicked out By whom By the people of Canada and Ill see to it When Is the last time you heard a provincial premier say that about bis fellow premiers STRONG SUPPORTER From the beginning of this whole messy constitutional exercise Mr Hatfield has been a consistent support er of Prime Minister Trudeaus package and when the premier decid ed that a consensus was unlikely be stoutly defended unilateral federal action He even went to lobby for Its acceptance by Weals minster But until this recent Montreal meeting Mr Hatfield was restrained in bis criticism of other premiers In fact his most quoted criticism was directed at his ally Premier Davis for not accepting the principle of minority language rights In Ontario But now there is nothing restrained about the New Brunswick premier After being treated as a constitutional enemy in Montreal he declared that the eight were Interested only grabbing more power for tbemserra I ha ppen to believe in a strong federal government but I also believe its compatible with strong provinces And for expressing that view he said I got the back of IbeJr hand Even when all 10 premiers were being relatively civil toward each other there was Utile hope for a compromise agreement with the prime minister on this issue In view of this latest eruption it would appear t this tiny hope has turned to fantasy Incos a symbol of continuing compromise Queens Park By Derek Nelson Park Bares The Herald in Sudbury which dally Injects a massive tons of sulphur dioxide Into the atmosphere is a symbol for almost everyone For Inco Itself It la living proof of lust how far the company has come how quickly with em down from tons In years past and the local environment much unproved To the Environment Ministry the Superstack and the control orders placed upon the company are testimony to the governments ability to juggle the hard choices of Jobs revenue and technology versus clean air The current emission level and the standard of l9M tons that Inco must reach by are actually both limits on production at the Sudbury site To go to full production would require breaching those maximum figures Environmental pressure groups many of whose members of the Toronto townhouse variety want the figures reduced to regardless of the coats In Jobs or cash POLITICS TOO But It Is In politics where Inco is rapidly becoming a Supersymbol Ontario government officials travel to the to talk about what add rafn much of it from the US midwest Is doing to the lakes and possibly the forests of the Canadian Shield Some American politician immediately counter that If Ontario serious about add rain It would do something about the single largest sulphur dioxide polluter In North America And both the liberal and at Queens Park make a lar point How can the province have credibility south of the border when It cant even clean up its own act home NORTON TOO Thats why Environment Minister Keith Norton has been taking a pasting In the legislature for not ordering even lower emission standards for Inco Liberal Leader Stuart Smith said that Installation or a new furnace could bring emissions down to the ton mark And MPP Floyd Belt noted again that Into Itself thought 1500 tons was possible in technical rather than commercial terms as long ago as 1978 Nortons response was that this cannot be rushed A new type of furnace for the Sudbury works is okay In theory but is a way yet from being a practical reality MUST DO The existing furnace Is SO yean old and near the end of the road A new furnace coating upwards of million could bring emissions below 1000 tons a Inco says So what is being talked about here are not massive differences In numbers such as existed a few years ago The question appears to be more one of timing What is Important for our credibili ty Is that as the trend line remain the same the emissions must keep getting lower TO per cent of the sulphur Is already prevented from escaping That means tons maximum in no matter what the demand for ore It means too a firm decision by hen for the levels in the next stage Incos smokestack la Just too much a symbol for any other solution SQUAD FOUNDER RETURNS It was night for the Air Cadet Monday night and abort parents showed up sea children parade la their
