4 The Canadian State.man, nowmanvllje, May' 13. 1989 EDITORIALCOMMENT Salvation Army Cails for Assistance Everybody is familiar with the Wônderful work that the Salvation Armny's thousands of dedicated workers carry on in many fields and in many couritries of the world. They provide a service unobtainable froo.n any other source and do it witbout too -nuch bragging or patting themselves on the back. In fact, they do these humani- tarian things so quietiy and unobtrus- ively that there is a dianger that their efforts may be overlooked and taken foi granted. This month. the nly time during the year they ask for help, ThE. Sal- Vation Army is conducting its annual Rèd Shield Campaign to raise ftinds so their great work n'ay be contintied. They are not hegging for help, merely requesting that you provide them with funds to take care of the expenses in- vnlI'ed. They'll happily undertake the hard part, the seeking out and adminis- tering to those who require their -nag- nificent aid. You won't have to dirty your hands or visit those in prison, the unmarried mothers and the others who mnay be desperately in need of help. Ail you are being asked to do is set aside for thte Red Shield appeal some of your rnoney to assisi. Give the Salvation Arm y's Red Shield appeai your help. They deserve it and you'll feel better for having takcn some part in helping others. Start Encouraging Achievers The time has co.ne for socief % to Stop pampering and glorifying so-called idunderdogs" and "misfits' and start encouraging achievers. according tb the Hon. Robert Welsh. Q.C., N.P.P. for Lincoln, provincial Secretarv and Min- ister of Citizenshîp for the Ontario government. Hie was addressing the second an- nual convocation of Mohawk College of Applied Arts and Technologv (for- merly the Hamilton Institute of Tech- riology). held last week. At the convo- cation, 16 students were graduated from the three-year diploma course in textile techno1ogv-. iinclîding Lloyd Douglas Nichols. Boumanville. In his address.

"'As Minister of Citizenship for Ontario," he said, "I amn convinced lhat it is impossible to arrive at, a gond soc- icty by any other rneans or techniques other -than the development of gond individuals, and therefore, gond citi- zens."

Your Canadiari Red Cross urges \oti . . . don't be a Lemming ! This su-nmer : Think, don't sink ! F un ds for the Federal Campaign The two principal "bagmen'" of the miajor political parties, Edward Gond- k2an, Progressive Conservative, and Senator Richard Stanbury, Liberal, dlaima they have their work more than eul out for themn this timne as they prepare to colleet campaign funds for the June 251h federal election. They do not think money will come ton easily this time around. 'The principal sour- ces, they feel, have been tapped ton often, ton soon. Because rnonry is needed for elec- tiôn campaigns the great debate has rtarted again about disclosure of the iource of campaign funds. Neither the Liberal nor the Conservative party agree wîth those who advocate com- plete disclosures, to the extent that namnes would 1-e oamed. They seem to agree that the public should be inform- ed as to the amounits collected and the cost of election campaigns but no more. Il is now estimaled that the NDP will spend about one million dollars on the June 25 campaigo while the two major parties will spend in excess of three millions each. They estimate Ihat they will spend an average of $1.5.000 a riding and there are 264 ridings. Natur- ally they will spend scarcelv anything ini some ridings and $30,000 or more in others. Robert Statifield, Conservative leader, recently said he doubted the wisdomn of requiring the namnes of cani- paign fund contributors to be made public,.lHe felt that a strongly-entrench- ced governiment could use Ihe informa- tion to dry up campaign fnnds for opposition parties. H-e also feit il wouid erlargp the built-in advantage a gov- ernment has in control of election machinery patronage and this would make it more difficult tb upset. While il is known thai industry makes contributions, sometimes very large contributions, it is likely that con- tributions are made to more Ihan one Party by such industries. The party ini power likely gets a slightly bigger slice than the opposition and while argu- mrents Ihat might apply to making pub- lic contributions f rom corporations, they do flot apply with equal force to contributions frorn individuals. We have been told of individuals who have given $200 to $500 to their candidale's campaign fund each election and we think, as many do, that such individ- uals have the same right to make con- Irihutions in secret, *Just as theY mark their ballot in secret. Many times through the years there have heen resolutions before the Commons which would have campaigo expenses paid in pari, at least, f rom- the public purse. At other limes there have been resolutions to require that the source of campaign funds to be divu.lg- ed. This ma y be the last federal elec- tion campaign paîd for on the nid sys- 1cm of contributions, entirely. Certain- lv the political climate is ripe for a c hange and public opinion, we feel, is attuned to the need for a change. If and when legislation does provide for th(- payment of campaign expenses. il will have bo have built-in safeguards which will rigidly restrict campaign spending or it will be worthlcss. -Smiths Falls Record-News ~b%~anabin dtit#mu n* 4.%l The Newcastle Independent0 The Orono News CD .P Autherzad au Seoend Clrift Mail bY the Post Office.Dept., Otawa, anid ICtr ym.nt ci pottag e ncnsh Produced evory Wednesday by THE JAMES PUBLISHING COMPANY LIMITED P.O.

Only the Liberal Govern- ment of Newfoundland, the Conservative Government of Ontario, and the Social Cre- dit twins of Alberta and British Columbia bave been contintuously in office longer than the Nova Scotia Tories.

Now that the election bas been called, some of the fruits o! bis labors cao necseen. While the Liherals under Mr. Trudeau have - so fac, et least -- only lost candi- date strength (at least elgbt cabinet ministers of the Pearson administration will not seek re-election) the Stanfield Tories are ready to commit fresh troops bo the field.

With a slipped disc and an arthritic knee. Weil, what can you do ? You can't drop it. It would break into pieces. And you can't set it down for a rest. You know you could neyer pick it up agamn. This is the predicamnent in whiuli the average middie-aged husband and father finds himnself most of the tinie. That's the fellow you find wander- ing dazcdly in a supermarket; or blun- ciering through a swamp trying to catch a seven-inch speckled trout; gr playing golf with intense ineptitude. If you ask him, he'I1 swear that he's flot quite over the hili yet, that he can carry his world for another few steps. But if you corner hlm and quiz hirn, you'll find that he's not only over the hili, but s]iding down the other side so fast there'1l be nothing but a grease.. bail left when he hits the bottom. He']] also he broke, if he has a wife. My o]d lady, after a couple of quiescent weeks following an operation, is in full cry again. "What do you realiy thinks about that crumbv nid bedroomn suite ?" We bought it on sale 15 vears ago. As far as I'm concerned, it's fine. Theres a raised platform, called a bed, on which to sleep, and a number of drawers without handies, which I cari open with a screwdriver. It's perfectly adequate. "What do you do in a bedroom ariyway, except to go to sleep and get up and stumble around in the morn- ing ?" 1 ask in ail honesty. She gives me a withering look. Apparently thrre are ail sorts of other things a bedroom is handy for. Like putting ladies' coats in when you have a party. Or cutting your toenails in. To .-np, the bedroorn suite we have seerns quite suitable for these and other minor activities. One Sunda\, in February we saw two aspects of nationalism on tele- vision : an awards cerem.-ony at the Winter Olympics at Grenoble, an hour- long feature on The Rise and Fail of the Third Reich. The first reassured us that there is reason 10 hope that nat- ional pride and national identity in diversity can be enriching, even ennob- ling. Then we saw nationalism gone mad. The same two sides of nationalism can be seen in what was the splendor of Expo and what is the nitpicking and parochialism in the current difficulties over bilingnalism and biculturalism in this country. Bilingual traffic signs! God forbid ! And, of course, Ihere are the WASPS and the frogs and the in- dependentistes and the Ralph Cowans. Canada is a mulli-national state, whether we like it or not, and il can be justifiably argued that this multi- nationalism extends beyond the French and the English cultural groups.

Exactly my point. Her ideas run toward a new bedroomn suite, fresh decorating, and a lot of other things that aren't going to make me sleep, or do anything else any better than 1 do in the present shabby, lovable, littie joint. I can't, for example, see me tying my tie with any more flair with a new bedro(yr suite in the background. I can't see that a niew eggshell-blue in- terior is going to make me look or feel any better when I sit on the edge of the bed, groaning gently and scratching, at 7:30 ar.

But he didn't say anything about arguing or being snippy or throwing coid water on her parents' hopes and plans for her. If yon here a tremendous thud one of these days, Atlas has shrugged. Job Stress Not Coronary Vi llain After Ail Men subject to occupational stress are not more susceptible to coronary heart disease, it is reported in The MVedical Post. It is becorning more evi- dent that events early in adult life pre- determine who will fali victim to the disease later. Dr. Lawrence E. Hinkle, Jr., dîr- ector of the division of human ecology of Corneli University Medical College, says these findings reported in a study of 250,000 men (1111n of the total U.S. maie working population) came as a surprise. Dr. Hinkle's findings contradict earlier studies which he says indicated that occupational stresses do play a part in the causes of disease. The men studied fell into three major "mobility groups" : those hired without college degrees and who had remained as skilled workmen; those without college degrees who have been prornoted to management leveis; and those with college degrees at high man- agerial levels. Dr. Hinkle's findings suggest th ýij college men have a Iower rate of coronY ary disease than the non-college mndi- viduals and the incidence rate in each group does not vary greatly at various lahor levels. In the 325 non-college men who advanced to executive level, th coronary attack rates are no highe. than those of men who remained at lower job levels. Not only had they ta compete with their educational peers, but wîth college graduates. According to Dr. Hinkle, job moh' ility and the competitive behavior asso. ciated with promotion and transfer do not increase the risk of coronary heart Mu lti - Nationalism Desirab[e ed Canadians are bhankful we do not. "«By a historical accident," Primei Minister Pierre Trudeau has written, "Canada has found ilseif approximately M5 years ahead of the rest of the world in the formulation of a multi-nalional state and 1 happen to believe that the hope of mankind lies in multi-nation- al ism." Language problems alone diclabe a solution along the lines of mulli-nalion- alism. There are 30 limnes as many ian- guages in the worid as there are nat- ions. Obviously, doubling - or tripling- up is required. This is inevitably going to lead - and has led - to friction. 5h11i, it is the wave of the future. Many already realize that multi- national ism, however conlentious in the beginning, is a richer form of hum- an organization than a bland, homog- eneous assortment o! superficial one- ness. TFhis vvas the attraction of the 01- ympics, and of Expo. And il is one o! the attractions, if we only would real- ize il more, of Canada. 1 "f illed" up on salad plate, the poorest diet given This was how we rqealiy tried le make our balance even!
