the HERALD Home Newspaper Halton Hills Established A Division Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown L7G 3Z6 Ontario PAUL J TAYLOR Publisher and General Manager DAVE BOB L1GHTBOURN Editor Advertising Manager PHONE Second Class Mail Registered Number Page SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday May 1984 Education Week For all the parents who complain they don know what going on education heres your chance to find out Monday marked the beginning of Education Week in Halton Around the community you find a number of op portunities to explore and ask questions about the training of our youngsters and young adults Some schools are holding open houses where parents can actually see what it is students learn in the classroom Others have special events or meet the teacher nights Around town you 11 find a wide variety of student displays in store windows or at thelibrary The idea is to get parents involved and for that reason alone its a valuable time It may be tempting to just send your child off to school this week but consider finding the time to learn about our school system Parents have a role to play keeping up with the changes taking place within our educational system Their children are learning at an ever increasing pace They are starting earlier through the popularity of nursery schools Advanced technology available to children has aided in motivating students and has opened up doors never thought possible years aeo The future of education in is exciting but it takes the support of parents and teachers to make it all work Do your part this week to be a party of the system Delegates bucking nationwide trend Although Liberal leadership candidate John Turner is leading the current polls in popularity local Liberal delegates have bucked the trend In both Halton and Brampton Georgetown riding association meetings delegates were chosen for their sup port of either John Roberts or Jean Chretien but few people have taken up the flag for John Turner In a nation wide poll released by the Globe and Mail Monday the survey found that 39 per cent of the delegates prefer John Turner while Jean Chretien follows with per cent Remaining are the 34 per cent who are either un decided or who refused to reveal how they would vote Delegates interviewed in this area seem to feel Jean Chretien has been a man who has stayed with the Liberal party through thick and thin He s more capable of speaking for the average Canadian we ve been told Not surprisingly the popularity of John Crosbie in north Halton in the months leading up to last June s Progressive Conservative leadership convention conveyed the same message The message seems to indicate that by electing John Turner to the Liberal leadership the Grits would find it difficult to differentiate their man and his policies from that of Brian It not John Turner s experience in politics they re eyeing its his lack of appeal to the common man who values party loyalty and a grass roots touch Good things grow at our expense Good things grow in Ontario among them the provincial government advertising budget Although its growing we don t think it s one of the good things For starters theres the sheer hypocrisy of a gover slamming a five per cent wage ceiling on its em ployees while increasing its spending on advertising by per cent Second theres the enormous bulk of the spending more than million in That figure represents 06 for every Ontario resident And what do we get out of if We get a furnace talking to a psychiatrist the little- known fact that Ontario grows fruits and vegetables a pretty sunset over a Northern Ontario lake a once in a chance to grab at Wintano s brass ring and the nauseating assertion that life is good in Ontario preserve it conserve it

time la m and tickets for adults are Herald photo Trudeau has a second wind Ottawa Report By Stewart Think what you will about Pierre Elliotl Trudeau but never be able to accuse him of going limp during final weeks in office If anything he acting like an apprentice trying to Impress a potent But then this particular prime minister has never followed a predict able course And the opposition MPs who expected days to oiler them a target practice for a more concerned successor should have perhaps known belter For reasons best known to himself the 64year old has decided that his final days will be politically testy and young upstarts across the way if they arc take him on had better be prepared The same goes for the dreaded a even more so There no way that this soon to depart prime minister is going to roll aver and tell ho press that he lias enjoyed its attention over the last Just about any other politician would swallow hard and say something like We vc had our and downs over the years but basically I our jousts Most depart political leaders toss us some such crumbs FIGHTING MOOD But I don t think wo should hold our breath awaiting Trudeau media eulogy Even in pending retirement he flared at the suggestion that he should attend the Parliamentary Press Gallery s goddam dinner He t If the man easing up toward retirement I someone would tell me about It said a prime ministerial employee He seems to be just gelling his second wind Apparently the prime minister now is putting in longer hours working on more projects than he did a year ago And his performance in the Commons has been startling his detractors Not only does he continue tu be highly briefed on every issue that arises he seems to be going out of his way to needle the Opposition and particularly Tory Leader Brian Mulroney Into a fight If lie has been bettered In debate over the last month It hasn been by much Furthermore his attendance record in Pari an institution that he has never overly is quite remarkable He Is there more often than Mulroney So far says an associate I never heard him say that this is something I can leave to my success or Another employee offered the view that he seems to have devoted just one day to his retirement and after making his decision and writing letter of resignation he has put the whole Issue out of his mind TRADITION BREAK This employee that Trudeau is devoting unusual attention to laying groundwork for events that will occur long after he is gone His successor Is certainly not going lo inherit any mess of unfinished business in the prime minister office he said One example of dedication to the tasks at is his appointment of Mr Justice Brian Dickson as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada It would have been so much easier for the prime stir who will soon move back to Montreal to maintain the tradition of appointing a Frenchspeaking judge to succeed Englishspeaking Bora He could even have left the chore to his successor But with the Supreme Court facing so many crucial decisions relating to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and with feeling strongly that Mr Just Dickson was best suited to undertake the tasks he didn hesitate to break the tradition And don be surprised if there arc other traditions broken before the middle of June says on aide The man as fire in his belly II the whole idea wasnt so preposterous you should

wish to express their appreciation lo the Georgetown Little Theatre The set was beautiful and the acting superb TORONTO Of all tile human tragedies verbally replayed within the walls of the Legislature perhaps the most compelling is the plight of employees in companies that shut their doors According to Liberal Leader David Peterson in 1983 Ontario lost facilities with jobs This year there haw been a string more Including almost 1 Jobs affected by Shell Canada decision to move Its office to Calgary from Toronto and almost another lost by Inco decision to close part of Its Port Col bourne refinery But that doesn tell the whole that the Swedish owned plant in this area closed almost three years ago and per cent of those are still without Jobs About eight per cent arc on welfare They are losing their homes Their health is deteriorating he sold MAN1 VIEWS In many coses these are older males ago and up who lack the mobility of the young and who often hove trouble a new skill And It Is the pair suffering and yes waste Inherent In these statistics that make the question of plant closings such a touch one True New Democratic Party policy for example is to force public hearings where company would have to Justify closing or moving And if the firm was deemed to be economically viable it be allowed to shut or leave The government would expropriate Anyone who really believes that in the charged atmosphere of such hearings bureaucrats and politic and would make decisions in the best interest of the company rather than of themselves GRIT IDEA An even worse solution was impll In questions by Peterson about Shell move where he asked what offer the government made to protect those jobs in Ontario Premier Bill Davis quickly snapp ed back what did you want us to do bribe them Times change The business changes It makes sense that a company a owners rather than clans know what Is best for Its future and thus Its employees if they it soon goes under Still that address the human tragedy of those left behind those who for one reason or lother don adjust to their new and unenvi able status NDP ATTACK members have been hammering at government ministers along that line in past days noting for instance iheaverageageofworkersat Inco Port works was and suggesting early retirement pensions And in fact and the United Steel Workers did conclude an early retirement package although not as rich the NDP wanted without government Intervention But what happens as the Bob Mackenzie charged here when a company like Allen Industries In Hamilton closes and
