Page SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday No vember 3 1S1 This ones special Blood clinic needs support The best thing in life is free In our hospitals people are examined treated Riven blood when necessary and hopefully cured But in our blood donor clinics how many of you are in the lineup of potential donors EVERYONE between the ages of 17 and 65 citizen or otherwise who is in normally good health can and should give blood for blood is the common denominator uniting all people Each adult has to 13 pints of good red blood in his system Remove slightly less than one pint the amount donated to a Red Cross Blood Clinic and the body replaces it automatically the liquid por of the blood within hours and the red cells within three or four weeks The most common blood type in North America is O and 46 per cent of the population have it 42 per cent have A blood nine per cent have blood type Of these types per cent or most people have an RH positive blood grouping whereas 15 per cent have an negative grouping This information is all measured and printed on a card for you when you donate blood ana its a handy thing to know Your own blood type might be the same as your sisters and fathers but different from your mothers and brothers In case hospital supplies run low which they do periodically it is good to know who the family can give to or receive blood from another especially if it s a rare type Please stop in at your blood donor clinic next Monday Nov at Holy Cross Church Auditorium Mo To Hype over Trudeau on TV had us on the edge of seats Letter from the editor Ottawa Report By Stewart MacLeod Paul Not a bad idea If you think of Canada as a business It time to start asking our inlaws if need some extra help in the factory or on the farm And to carry the analogy further if the business is failing poor management is likely to blame That the kind of thinking that s led Syd of Georgetown to an intrigu ing suggestion regarding the state of the nation If Canada Is a business buying and selling things he says why not hire business experts to run if I spent a fair amount of time last week trying to punch holes in the Idea butapart from some flaws regarding the Charter of Rights and our basic idea of democracy which are indeed critical it not a bad Idea Retired from the pipeline business Mr hard work and nationwide problems Hes quite astute concerning politics especial ly at the national level little ample of those men and women who currently constitute our federal Parliament 1 seriously doubt Mr Marder a con tention that per cent of our MPs are lawyers by profession but I m sure sympathetic toward his belief that many lawyers have larceny In their hearts The solution he believes is to recruit real experts In business hiring them on a oneyear contractual basis to run the country They buy things from countries to meet our needs and sell things that we produce here all at the best possible prices If they ve done a good responsible Job on behalf of Canadians at the end of the year their contract is renewed If not they re fired Who does the hiring The party leaders alone without their army of timewasting MPs Perhaps retaining the leaders would leave us some room for the democratic vote Mr Marder Is acutely non partisan Clark Is a ninny s up to something that devious bastard and just voices the pipe dreams Common sentiments nil Maybe the businessmen running the business idea could catch on too Their qualifications would be the key you see and who would deny that the qualifications of many MPs particularly those suffering from Jet lag are suspect Ottawa Bureau of The Herald When Prime Minister decided tospread his economic fireside chat over three nights and set off a merry old political row in the process was It really because he felt this was the most form tlons or was it a brilliant marketing strategy Officially It was the former People the prime minister maintain that It was merely a case of Trudeau warning to ensure that his message about our serious economic situation was understood by his listen and that they be given time to reflect on what he was saying It was felt that tin message would be better digested from three 15minute tele- cists rather than from one whopper But looking back on the unholy fuss that erupted over this allied tele cast one is left whether the prime minister and his advisors might have had marketing promotion In mind whin they settled on the threenight format In any event they certainly got that promotion And let face It ti people around the prime minister are not entirely dumb have no way of knowing what went on In Trudeau inner sanctum prior to the telecasts but you can almost imagine some of these bright young people wondering how best to turn the event into a real nation grabber And It t take long for someone to decide that what was needed was some prelelecast hype And what better way to achieve this than to for an unprecedented three consecutive nights of air time SMART STRATEGY The reaction of opposition parlies would be quite predictable They would be outraged with this alleged abuse of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp And wllhanyluck bythetimeTrudeauwas ready to lake to the airwaves the whole country would be talking about him and what he was likely to say It would be akin to a prefight weigh in when the boxers rode a few punches to build excitement- for the main bout Neither Tory Leader Joe Clark or New Democratic Party Leader Ed Broadbent let the strategists down They were furious as they charged the prime minister with media manipulation and they even went further than expected In demanding the resignation of Pierre Juneau This of course gave Juneau an opportunity to call his own news conference to attack the opposition for attacking him What an unexpected bonus for the promoters Mennwhili all the feuding particl pants kept churning out press releases along with of correspondence that was being exchanged at a furious pace For a lime It looked like leaflet warfare And In the meantime the prime ministerial telecasts along with all the assorted preliminary bouts were being talked about on the fronl pages of the nation newspapers and on all television newscasts It was becoming the biggest event since the British fleet set sail for the Falkland Islands MANY QUESTIONS Would Joe Clark respond lately or wouldn he Who would actually hear s words before they were telecast Who would write the What would he hear Would Pierre Juneau be forced to resign What would the folks in Ihe corner tavern think of the messages The list of intriguing questions grew like And by the time the prime minister was ready to talk about the worrisome winter ahead the entire nation was perched on the edge of seats Ion cameras were sot up in pubs to get the reaction of unemployed service station attendants the CBC has listening in Calgary to offer immediate reaction the presidents of every business organization Were on phone lines ready with cryptic com men Is and every commentator and columnist in the country was offering play by play coverage building excite ment for the next round The advance men for a Billy Graham crusade and they don I come any better could not have done a more effective job of creating excitement for a series of Its just possible that people as they claim themselves forsee this as they innocently asked for three nights air time for partisan talks with the nation But I can have my own suspicions Plight of Sudburys jobless DISARMAMENT reveals unseen political side The Pros and the

to blurt on All Queen Park Bureau of The Herald In the dispute here by MPPs over whether to have an emergency debate in ihe Legislature concerning the employment problems of Sudbury neither side logic was of highest calibre But the issue itself is probably the single most difficult employment or unemployment hurdle to be cleared Ihe province climbs out of the current recession The unemployment rale in bury is between and per cent and even optimists don t expect any return of the boom limes Ihat the city saw In the 1060a MPP Floyd Nick el Belt moved that the ordinary business of the Legislature be set aside to discuss Sudbury plight as a matter of urgent public importance Although the Liberals supported the Speaker John Turner ruled that there had been two such debates already this year one as recently as Sept and anything said so soon would be repetitious He ruled against the debate The appealed and the government benches upheld Turner although int Sudbury Conservative MPP Jim left the Assembly just before the vote Tory House Leader Tom Wells made the weak argument that what was coming up happened to be the wind up of an important debate mainly the wage control legislation for government employees If we were just going to deal with some trivia piece of legist today perhaps it would serve our purpose well to debate it here again he said But this observer always thought an emergency debate was held or rejected on its own merits not on the prominence of the legislation that it happened to be displacing On the hand Laughren noted It Is on emergency now just as It might be two days from now Or In short the Assembly might do nothing but debate Sudbury from now to eternity under that enter a ON RECORD This time Turner was right The viewpoint of both is already clearly on record as is Ibelr groping for an answer to the long term viability of the Sudbury basin The New Democrats and Liber start from the premise that the Conservative government has failed over the years in two major and specific areas and Falconbridge Sudbury two big nickel producers have not been forced to do all their refining in Sudbury as they should have been Instead of exporting semi finished material as for as Noway Nor has there been more than tentative steps to try and reduce Ontario 5 billion trade deficit in drilling and mining machinery even though this province Is among the world largest importers Counting spinoff Jobs replacing such Imports alone could give up to 15 people work TORY VIEW The Conservatives respond that they are doing all they can within the limits placed upon them Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope said If the province forced more refining here and thus caused the existing European refineries to close there would be even less market demand for Sudbury nickel Other sources some of who like Russia may already be dumping nickel can meet European needs But this answer why refining required here back when the Sudbury basin had close to a world monopoly
