I THE HERALD Wednesday IX 1M- Page Problem solvers are intellectually lazy The bulldozer of Maple Avenue and soon of Street Is a symbol for everything that is mori bund and intellectually lazy in Canadian problem solving In todays finetuned world brute strength is counterproductive Economies like the American and the Russian that seemed so power only yesterday are in serious trouble because their ruling elites refuse to adapt and to learn and to change their approaches Japan and WestGermany by com parison tiny countries with no resources have become the worlds powerhouses How come I have never been to Japan and therefore am unable to talk about it but I have several times been in WestGermany the last 25 years and I can tell you something about the changes I have observed there during this time In the mid sixties in the first flush of the economic miracle or Wirtschaftswunder the Ger mans had a love affair with everyting they deemed modern Those were the days when they widened roads and tore down old houses to prepare their country for the avalanche of cars that rolled off the production lines of Volkswagen BMW and Mercedes Benz It took them on ly 10 years to realize that the car is a toy everybody wants to play Passive Reducing Exclusive Ladies Salon for 50 J 8734907 Guelph St Rear Entrance Georgetown with that the playpens however have to be limited in size or the whole country will eventually exist of nothing but high speed roads You can not talk to a German motorist about speed restrictions Its like talking to an American about gun control But you can slow a German motorist down by making the street appear rower At first trees and hedges were planted on the sides of the roads later lanes for bicycles were taken off the roads or grassy strips seeded to make the roads in narrower Did this bring the country to economic ruin Far from it as we all know Some lives were saved instead Next the com munal administrations started to push the cars out of downtown districts by turning those districts into zones for pedestrians only On the edges of downtown they er rected underground or high rise parking garages where the cars had to be left At first the mer chants who operated stores in these districts feared that their customers would stay away This prediction proved false There isnt a town anymore in WestGermany that hasnt a heavenly restful pedestrian downtown where the shopper is the absolute king Huge crowds flock there at all hours of MAID SERVICE WHOS BEST mm THATS WHO THEAWARD WINNER HEM omnErrup TV SHOW COAST ID COAST For FREE

table of an outdoor restaurant admire outdoor art that adorns a network of pictures que streets lanes and squares Last but not least they do a lot of shopping When you look at the crowds you begin to wonder if the Germans ever work How come they have so much time to sit around and eat cake or sue each other up A lot of kissing goes on in these dreamy spots and women who want to approach men for a chat or vice versa are definitely not harassed Most Germans work whenever they want to Only some factories that still have pro duction lines have their workers all work at the same hours The majority of factories and offices operate in teams and these teams decide when they work early or late in the day or at night In that way the 30 million cars and trucks that are registered in West- Germany are not all out on the road at the same time and traffic jams are compared to the of the country few And do those Germans work They are trained better than any other workforce in the world They pro duce more per hour than any other workforce the world They make more money than any other workforce in the world They work shorter hours than any other workforce in the world have started with the goal to reduce the workweek to 35 hours by the year 2000 They take longer holidays than any other workforce the world They are better hous ed than any other workforce in the world Because of all this they are more motivated than any other workforce in the world Their pro ducts show it Everything made in WestGermany partakes of a quali fy that is life enhancing What a civilized country Increasingly when I
