thar aaonrnm pnsss wednesday july 23 ltw m 4tree 3rts editorial pagm cart revere the hcrje having built the cart the province is now attaching the horse the londonfrc press lays referring to the recerrktakcover by quccns park of assessment function from the municipalities rather thin doing it before getting into regional government it u criticism like this typical of- complaint from the pees and municipalities across the province that no doubt hat been a factor in the government decision to hold a series of information sessions across the province a team of ontario cabinet ministers will hold what a government press releate describes us a series of frank and informal dialogue teutons on municipal government reform throughout the province this summer the meetings are designed us a further meant of twoway communication between queens park and municipalities provincial treasurer charles macnaughton and municipal affairs minister darcy mckeough plan to attend all meetings in the series other cabinet ministers including hubfoua about market prime minister john kobarts will participate in tome of the meetings provincial administration is the oeijy realistic method of reforming antiquated asseumeht practices- and ensuring uniformity but surely the step should hae preceded the establishment of county school boards anil introduction of regional municipal government the free ires uys and adds it is also in essential preparatory move toward the taxation reforms promised by the robarts government the new policies encompassed by the legislation municipal affairs minister mckeough submitted to the legislature are sound m principle but the municipalities have quite legitimate objections to the way the province initiated them ihe avsessment takeover should have come first not as an abrupt afterthought whether the belated explanations which are contemplated will assist in an acceptance of the proposals remains to he seen the huron i xpositor although tome segments of the press and other communication systems would have us believe there it a strong desire in britain to enter the european common market the reverse seemed to be true when this writer visited recently there was much unfavorable publicity about the common market countries and the advantages of britain going it alone were played up one london newspaper published a comparison of the prices in britain for common food staples at against the same prices in france and other common market members in aln every case the british food prices were lower although there were two items which were a weather beaten i a good example of the effect weather hat on our lives was afforded by the recent heat wave when hot humid air moved in from the south making most people in this district uncomfortable after two or three days of the heat and no relief in sight people began to act more irritable for instance last thursday the long distance operator obviously feeling very much under the weather uttered an almost vicious your number please in place of the usual cheery reply the person ansuenng on the other end uttered an irritable yes when he picked up the receiver ambition is retarded by heat even the most ardent booster of summer it sometimes forced to admit there might be something to this idea of winter after all shade higher in price the british taxed up to here now seem dubious of the advantages of joining the economic block some government spokesmen admitted that there would probably be an adjustment period before prices found their true level but the bntons we talked to are wondering if general le gaulle didnt do them a favor by blocking britains entry into the common market the working people in lngland find it difficult enough on an average wage of 20 pounds about 5200 a week to make ends meet without higher costs for food and other commodities tropical countries are supposedly crimeridden when the he it is at its height especially for crimes of passion and this seems to be true in the united states when hot weather invades the large cities race riots robberies and arson increase in leaps and bounds and are not relieved until they get cold air from canada people obviously arc affected by the weather both for the better and the worst ct cetera one ought every da at lent to hear a little song read a good poem see a fine picture and if it were

henry look to your flintlock the injuns arc on ihe war path leli hope it docint come to thai hut the indiani of anada a quarter million of ihe natives of this vail continent have blood in their eye whether its a product of politic or hean wine and they dont need tomahawks howi and arrows and ruity muskets this lime they have two weapons which bring ihem right into the nuclear age one is the white mans guilt complex with which they belabor him at every opportunity the other n the mass media which they are using with a skill that would make a public relation nun turn green there are some fact that have led up to the current confrotation first of all the indians were victims of one of the greatest con jobs in history when the varioui treaties wete drawn up have you ever read one they sound great full of poetic stuff like as long as the rivers run to the sea and the grais grows to the iky and the mountains do not fall down etc etc then comes the crunch in the small print as long ai the indian itays on his reserve and out of the white mans hair especially the scalp he and his children and his childrens children shall receive an annual bounty from the great while queen across the dig water for a whole indian band it might be 1000 pound sterling not cash annually but only the intereit thereon figure out sometime what the interest is on 1000 pounds sterling in 1 yes inflation has caught up with the indian too treaty day according to oldtimers used to be a real fair at the reserves each indian family received its share of the loot and avaricious merchants gathered from miles around to separate the indian and his treaty money as quickly as pouible today he might be able to buy a few bottles of wine second the indian culture or whats left of it is quite dissimilar to that of the white mans it is based on communal rather than cutthroat lociety the romantic refers back to the noble red nun the prignutist calls him a shiftless bum neither is anywhere near the truth he is a human being hes neither red nor any more noble than the rest of us third the paradox exists that the indian his special privileges medical care f the cuffi some people make things happensome watch things happen and some peole dont know what happened littering is not just a bad habit its an expensive one last year it cost the department of highways more than 970000 to clean up along ontarios highways keep a litter bag in your car and help keep ontario clean this summer ficc education no taxes on the reserve etc and yet he is underprivileged inferior housing and education plus plain old discrimination social and economic and now the i edcrjl government with u cold logic that seems to seep down from mr trudeaii says put up or ihut up if you arent happy about the way we run things do it yourself this after years of treating reserves with all ihe largesse and benevolence usually associated with an orphanage the i edcral government propose to dump ihe indian problems on ihe provincial governments and the indians themselves all in the course of five years then fold its tent and steal off into the night the provincial governments want the indian problem like they want the lllack plague so do ihe indians for the latter the canadian governments new policy is a smoke screen to cover failure for the young indians dissolution of the reserves is like burning your boats behind you for the middleaged and elderly it is terrifying indian leader wilmcr nadiiwon of cape crokcr put it succmtly if over simply when he said the new legislation would allow an indian to sell his property for two bottles of wine that docint olve a problem ii creates one s the indians dont want assimilation they want help to get on their feet and some redress for 200 years of being considered secondclass canadians some reserves arc wothlcss mere slum areas some arc extremely valuable as potential resort areas how docs everybody get a fair share if these lands are handed back to tlie indians themselves for disposal as they see fit youre not going to settle that one in five years pierre fclhott the acton free press phone 0532010 buunit and editorial offic foukd la ims ad
