St- ITII A Apr Let us salute our volunteers Every day lions Canadians take time from their work their leisure their homelife to their talents and energies to seek solutions to problems in their com They are young old and every age in between They come from every economic group from every race religion and ethnic background They share in common their commit ment to improving the juiJity of life for all Canada volunteers fill many roles direct delivery of a myriad of human and social services advocacy for virtually every conceivable cause governance of a complex network of voluntary organizations and public agencies They work in neighborhood associations schools hospitals public interest research and lobbying groups museums and libraries Tney help the powerless to have an effective voice help our institutions to be sensitive to the needs of individuals help our to resist the special in and to act for the people Volunteering is such a pervasive part of our society that virtually every Canadian at some time or another in his or her life is a volunteer whether it be in a structured service delivery setting on an ad hoc community com or as a good neighbor All of these volunteers share in common a willingness to interact positively with others and a desire to expand their own personal horizons through service for the common good As the nation enters a decade it is confronted by exceeding complex problems that will strain capabilities will test our charade as a nation Many of them inflation the energy crisis the growth of litigation the entrenchment of bureaucracies will directly challenge our tradition of volunteer citizen in volvement Yet thest problems in the long run can only be effectively ad dressed through that involvement All of our institutions whether they be profit or profit public or private ultimately rest on the committed work of individuals National Volunteer Week offers a time to ricogmrc that the commitment is not passe thit it is cherished nurtured by Canada s citizen volunteers A Hardy thanks It been a long time since Georgetown felt so proud of its hockey heritage The guiding lights behind the local hockey leagues gather annually to honor one of their own in light of that heritage and the Bantam tournament organizers make Georgetown a peren magnet for their level but the Raiders spectacular accomplishment this season has lifted community pride to new heights It was a startling pair of playoff series that took the Intermediate A champions all the way to the Hardy Cup in such a brief period of time That not to demean the many teams which took the Raiders on through the season Local hockey fans were treated to dozens of excellent games thanks to fervent dedicated competitors and that the season In such excitement Is a tribute to the league s cross Canada organizers The behavior of some Georgetown fans as well as the visiting team during the finals does tend to leave a bad taste but that cannot detract from the relative restraint of the Raiders and the good judgement of their management There is plenty of glory the very fact of the Raiders stunning vie one that promises much for the future as far as Georgetown premier hockey team is concerned and one that stands as a true example for all other Hills teams Our congratulations to the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders April is Cancer Month Sword of Hope The flag of any nation is a source of pride to the peoples of that nation a family crest a club insignia all are proud symbols containing meaning for certain people or groups The symbol of the Canadian Cancer Society is the Caduceus Almost every one of the many thousands of men and women volunteers in Ontario wear it at one time or another In hospitals it is woven onto the sleeves of the volunteers yellow smocks It is engraved on all the Cancer Society literature and on its stationery It is recognized by everyone as the symbol of the Society Thousands of years ago the laid aside until the fight against can I Greeks had a god of medicine called In his temples healing was carried out His symbol was a staff with a serpent twined round it This staff sometimes a caduceus came to be the badge of the medical profession The Canadian Cancer Society took this symbol and changed it slightly intoa more militant form Instead of a staff they have a sword the sword of hope the sword that will never be Theserpentremams For countless centuries it has been a token of renewal of health and strength In using the is its proud symbol the Canadian Cancer is informing the world of the war it is waging on cancer of the hope that Society has for renewed health for all who may have this disease and of its final objective of banishing this disease from the face of the earth forever COMING FRIDAY in the Weekend Extra Model railroaders Community The Little Blue Hedgehog New faces in the GLT Student employment strategy Journal holiday raises ire during MPs question period Ottawa of The Herald Normally when a Member of Parliament rises to propose a motion under Standing Order it a time to relax doodle perhaps have a with a Commons guard With rare exceptions motions proposed during this dally 15minule period are not worth hearing II essentially a time tor Tones lo demonstrate they ore opposed to Just about everything and for the Liberals to display the ludicrous limits Uioy can reach in defending the government But occasionally your cars perk up And m did the other day when Stan Darling ihe Tory MP from Parry Sound rose in his place and began talking about the forthcoming hoi day for the television show The Journal You know that the or thereabouts flagship program of Ihe CDC that having changed our social and sleeping patterns Is going off the air for nine weeks so we con go through It all over again Call Between the coming and going of The Journal along with Ihe coming and going of Daylight Saving Time I am not sure Canadians will ever get their proper sleep DOG TIRED Anyway getting back lo Stan Darling what he wanted to know was why it is necessary just three months after The Journal was launched to plan a nineweek vacation lor its employees asked Minister t Pox explain to the Canadian taxpayer just why such high priced staff nablc to handle the job were hired In the first place or to dismiss these poor exhausted employ ccs and replace them with profession capable of handling the pressures Knowing so llttlo about the pressures of a dally television program I want to whole heartedly embrace Darling Hon but I do admit to being mildly curious about the reported exhaustion of The Journal employees And I did raise my eyebrows when spokes man Cecil Smith explained that everybody has to have a holiday and on a show like this the dally pressures and problems are really something The main reason I raised my eyebrows Is lhat The Journal Is only three months old and prior toils birth employees t three months going through dry runs to ensure the program could be sustained with on a permanent basis One could be forgiven for thinking that most pressure problems would have surfaced during that Initial three- month period Somehow I don think we got our money worth from those dry runs And given the incred rall coat of The Journal the CBC won reveal the actual figure I don t think we taxpayers arc getting our money worth from most publicized program in CBC history GOOD SUMMER However it should be a good summer for Barbara reported annual contract worth more than and her cohost Mary Lou With no Interviews between July and Sept they should look refreshed In the fall What makes the case less convincing In my view Is the fact that just about every professional is already Into the act of claiming pressure and stress on the job Just In the last month I have read the same complaints from doctors firemen waitresses lawyers and commission salesmen the public understand the stress they face And from a 1937 magazine I have found evidence that airplane pilots face shorter lifespans because of stress Last year a California psychiatrist declared housework to bo one of life more stressful occupations But I have never heard of any of these professions and occupations offering a threemonth fully paid dry run to fom liarlze practitioners with the stress they would be facing Only the with generous assistance From the taxpayers offered this unique service And what docs it get us A summer thout The Journal that a what Just like Barney Miller While the CBC should generally be free of governmental or parliamentary Interference this is one time I would like to see corporation officials called In lo justify this incredible on And I like to see It done before The Journal goes on lo plan a winter break or perhaps regular profession a I Development Days Exministers grandstanding leaves gallery embarassed Queens Park Derek Nelson Queen Park Bureau Herald What a sad and sorry scene It is to see magnificent Canadian technical achievement dragged through the mud of Queen a Park politics and mainly because of the incompetence of Speak John Turner Admittedly he had a good deal of help from Margaret Scrivener David a tough politician whose partisanship went too far this time Lastneek the senior management and shop stewards of Spar Aerospace builders of Ihe on space shuttle Columbia were in the Assembly gallery here Now the rules of the legale lure are very plain Only government ministers can make statements not opposition members nor Conservative back Scrivener who once served In ihe cabinet no longer does But she rose anyway announcing It was a point of privilege and proceeded statement praising Spar Aerospace contribution to the space shuttle STOP HER a paragraph ft was obvious even the most dense observer that Scrivener was not speaking on a valid point of privilege but playing minister Yet Speaker John Turner did not do his duty and cut her off She went on for three more paragraphs before an exasperated Pat Held rose on a point of order to note just that fact NOP House Leader Marie Sudbury East also rose and added that be had deliberately kept silent because he wanted Scrivener lo finish because lhat would act a prece dent allowing opposition members to make statements Turner said the objection having been raised I wilt uphold It meaning that Scrivener was not allowed to nlsh her speech The Spar people left bewildered by the events Former Speaker Jack Stokes Lake pigon used to be of running the Legislature like a railroad conductor he was by profession He was too authoritarian critics said But at least under Stokes the legislative tended to stay on Ihe What Is even morn extraordinary about Turner initial inaction is that he knew Scrivener was about to break the rules of the Assembly and was quite prepared let it happen unless someone objected During a further discussion of the a few days later Turner explained that Scrivener had request ahead of time she be allowed to moke her statement WALKER MISSING Turner at first said it would be more appropriate that Industry and Trade Minister Gordon Walker do so but on learning he was not available told Scrivener to proceedon one I made it very clear if Ihere were any objections then It would be ruled out of order he said In fact no to her at time and suggested Deputy Premier Bob Welch or any other cabinet minister who happened to be available be Altemat Scrivener could have thrown aside her statement and asked for unanimous consent of the Assembly brief Introduction She later compounded the insult by firing off a letter to Spar attacking Ihe shameful behavior of the opposition parties even though it was her initial attempt lo breach the rules and Turner use of a blind eye to view her actions that crested the absurdity of not being able to celebrate a Canadian space triumph POETS CORNER and our CHURCHES series return next week Halto From our THIRTY MIS A Town 1 granted permits on to the Fair
