7%Te Canadian Statesman, Bnwmanvffle. May 28, 1969 EDITORIAL COMMENT Public Sentiment Where taxes are concérried, there ' la grùwing retson to béliéè that the back of thé Canadian carneil is nearing brekin-pontsays the current issue of Industry. Certainly, on al aidés, at every *incarne level an~d in every part of the ceôuntry reports abound of a rising Chorus of protest. It 18 a protest which is flot directed at any one particular goverriment but at ALL of themn - Ottawa, the provin- ces, the municipalities AND the school *boards. Its message can be summed up Ani one word - "Enough !" The President of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, John R. *O'Dea, put it succinctly in a recent address béfore membera, of the CMA *branch in Sherbrooke, Québec. Said he, If1rt:arn any judge, the typical * Canadian is by now thoroughly fed up .with the demands made on him by this gGvernment and that government, dem- anda which have in recent years meant ,an inexorable escalation in the percent- age of his earnings taken from him in taxes of one kind or another. "Hé is fed up with the interminable ,;wrangling bétween the various levels of * government over who should get what ,a.nd who ahould pay what. "Fed up with having ta finance one dubious expenditure after another. P'ed Up with being required ta subsidize :waste and extravagance at EVERY level of goverfment. "Fed up, ifl a sentence, with for- ever being asked for more and more and more - and knowing with awful certainty that it will stili not be enough. "Employers, of course, are always among the first to fail victim ta an extra turn of the tax screw. Sornetimes they :cannot even get back moneys which -belong to them, moneys which are nat properly taxes at aIl. 'This la well illustrated. by Ot- tawa's attitude toward overpaymnents to the Canada Pension Plan. Employers have been told that these overpayments regrettably cannot be refunded from the federal plan because the provinces haven't agreed to do so ! "If on top of everything else we are now to have governments compet- ing with each other ta see who can get in f irst with new taxes as well as more taxes, we are going to make the invest- ment climate in this country well nigh intolerable to Canadian and foreigner alike. "There are other places in the world which hunger alter development capital and we should not delude aur- selves that even a rich, resource-en- dowed country like Canada will always have enough of it regardless of the poli- cies it follows. Other countries have made that mistake. IT arn not here reflecting on any one particular gove'nrnent, nor arn I refusing ta admit the necessity for reasonable taxation, but any country with a three-tier system of government will always need ta be especially care- fui that it does flot unwittingly create a tax jungle that will stifle flot only those within - causing more and more of those most needed ta leave - but become increasingly unattractive ta those outside. "I arn aware of the tendency in some quarters to dismiss warnings of this kind as the predlictable and dis- countable lament of business. It's an easy line ta take but, I firrnly believe, a grossly mistaken one. "I arn wholly convinced that on this subject there neyer wvas a time when management was more generally vaicing the sentiment of the general public than now. . .. One Hand Is Not Enough Canada shares with the US. a car driving distinction (of sorts) that is .not claimed (and not wanted) by any other country. For many years the Ontario Safety *League bas been trying, with littie noticeable success, ta persuade people not ta drive cars with the lef t band holding on to the roof, or the rigbt arm stretcbed along the seat back. The League now quotes the views of Stirl- Ing Moss, who entered more races than any other driver in history, and won m2ore. "In the 15 years I competed In grand prix races ahl over the world, I drove for 125,000 miles at top speed - up ta 250 mph. I'vedriven 170 mph on ordlnary two-lane black top roads for mzile after mile. I've driven mare than twice that far on the raad in ordinary passenger cars. And for every mile, on Itrack or road, I bad BOTE hands on the steering wheel. Nothlng la more stupid than one- hand driving, and as for the common American practice - one sees it almost nowhere else'in tbe world - of driv- ing witb one WRIST draped looseiy over the top of the steering wheel . .. I don't know wbat ta say. If I bad ailowed myself ta drive with one hand, I'd have been dead many years ago. Wben the one-hand driver faces an emergency - a blowout, a head-on col- lision, a cbild on the road, wbatever, be's bopelassly handicapped. He will turn the wheel too far or not far enougb; the precision of contrai he needs is cornpletely beyond hirn; the half-second he needs ta get bis other hand in operation - more, if ha bas te bring it off the car's roof ! - will see the emergency-over and done with. The expert drives witb his left hand at 10 o'clock - thinking of the steering wheel as a dlock face - and bis right hand at two o'clock. Or, alternatively, at nîne o'clock and tbree o'clock. Witb your hands in 'this position you bave absolute contrai." You Can't Have It Both Ways Layznen who query television executives about the impact of their medium on current behavior often have the uneasy suspicion tbat the latter are walking two ways at once. They report with pride their effec- tiveness as purveyors of goods and services. Tbe pîtch for cereals, bair- spray and easy credit frorn finance companies presumably pays off. Cer- tainly, TV gets tbe lion's share of the ,advertising dollar. However, when It is suggested tbat , the programs themseives are equally .influential, the story changes. When .asked about the connection between the Incessant gunplay on the screen -and the rising crime rate and disres- * .pect for law, they answer solernnly that there Is none at ail. Confronted with the sîmilar techniques used by psy- 'chotic mass killers in variaus places .they vigorously reject the idea that television bas been eithèr stimulus or teacher. "We only reflect current pat- terns, we don't create thern" is tbe stock answer. It la difficuit ta se bow communi- cations experts can have it bath ways. EFitber television advertising is not wbat they dlaim, and the buyers are *being rooked, or prograrns that tie view- -ecrs ta their sets leave a patent residue. *1 No one would contend 'tbey are soleiy responsible for violence. 'Many other factors are present - the der- anged mindi the frustrations that trig- ger the explosion - but a concerned public feels there is a genuine relat- ionship between some television fare and violence. Several stLidies in this field have been made. We need more of them. In the meantime a little soul-searcbing on the part of those who work in this explosive, patent mediumn wauld be weicomed. GOD'S OUTDOORS Wben, at tirnes, your hife seems dreary, And its burdens bard ta bear, Get out inta God's own sunshine, And you'Il find sweet salace there. Christ went often ta a garden, Wben the way, He sought ta know, lni tbe quiet, scented stillness, H-e was shown the road ta go. When He told us ta cansider The tal hues, grawing fair, May we grasp their pure, clear message, "We, as they, are in His care." -Marjoria Cunninghamn ïbSI SS Dbe %anabian I 'p '5 * The Newcastle Independent The.

I was raised ln Bowman- ville and 1 don't recognize vaur narne at ail after liv- Ing there for 30 years. The unions were there then and 1 amn sure they are there ta stay. Yau ask same questions; why not let the ernployee make his own decision as ta what Union he shail join. First af ail let's put It this way. You wanted a job, you got one. If you are so particular on what union you join then you started at the wrang job. because that'i the union thât is looking after the rest of the ernployees ln that factory or wherever you are working. Secondly I1right suggest that you learn about unions before you try ta tell some- ane how ta run one. I agree with Mr. Prime it Is a tree rider that you are, belng able ta get all the benefits that are gotten for union employees and so they should, they pay union dues ta be able ta have these benefits. I amn sure If nt all possible that the union would let Yeu be a frec rider without benc- fits or annual raises and just pay you $1.25 an hour be- cause that's aIl they would have to pay you and there Isn't a thing you tan do about it because :you don't beiong ta any union.

Rodney, Ontario, May 20, 1969 Dear Sir: I would like ta subrnit this letter under my hand but with the direction of the 65 farmers in my area who went. with me ta Toronto on May 13, with high hopes that we might, by aur pers- onal attendance, and under action from aur elected re- presentatives, have some In- fluence on putting sorne teeth int,oBill 140 (Farmn Organization Act). Our present feeling Is one of utter frustration regarding the dernocratic process, an d alsa of pure disgust with the governrnent power that can apparently bulîdoze through legisiation at the whim of a Minister of Agriculture. We fully realize that as a direct resuit of this fiasco, we are Intended to be sub- jected ta a furtherance of a do-nothing Federation of Agriculture under a con- scripted united name of GFO wlth the full blessing af the government of the day and wlth virtually no opposition from an unknowning or uncarlng Opposition. It Is also glaringly clear, that, wlth a horse and buggy farm organization that will be totally Ineffectivé In any- thing but finances, 50% 49 VEARS AGO (lune 3, 1920) Mr. Fred Wooldridge spent the weakend wlth hià broth- er, Mr. Samn Wooldridge ai G.

Without provision ln farmn organization for farmers ta combat this extermination by Nvay af one simple Item, "contrai of marketing mach- anisms to allow producers to set a price." the sincere and effective leaders of Farm Union cannot become a part of GFO. The present lead- ership af OFA, who will then becorne by dafault, the leaders of GFO. will again seli the Ontario farmars dowvn the river by way of 4'neffective programs, and will in fact, unknowingly perhaps, becorna the "Firipg Squad" of bahind tihe scenas ,corporate lnterests. A continuance of struggla for farmer leadership is In- evitable due ta, conditions aforementioned. The unity of farmers that has been callad for by the Agriculture Minister la apparently not expected or not nccessarily nceded bacause Bill 140 does not provide for any raspons- ile power ta be delegated ta GFO. a must under Farm Union principles. Unless ac- tion la taken by govern- ment ta* accommodate the climate under which farmers tan effectively operata, anc of two thinga is sure ta hap- pen. Either family farmers will passively go the way of the buffalo and an entire rural way of 111e will be- corne extinct. or to quote the Farm Incarne Report "A violent rural upheaval will take place that will be of littie or no benefit toahay - part of society".

First, let me deal wlth W. Bylsma. Ia your first para- graph I tan agrea with you but for the rest af your lat- ter I totally disagrea. I would lika ta point out ta you there ls no other graup of people that. bas fought sa hard and so long for the bat- terment af their people and for thosa who could nat flght for themseîves as the mca and woman in the unions. I ask you who pioaaarad the Old Age Assistance Att, Compensation Act, Canada Pension Plan, Medicare, Co- op Housing, Public Houslng; I tould mention quite a few more. Why don't they let work- ars decide what union will represeat them"' Answr- They do just that.. How ? The workers vote on It and by a rnajorlty vote they choose their- union. I wish ta point out ta, you, any shop or othar group of people that ara rcpresented by more than anc union do not fare as well as shops wlth anc volte. Let me Illustrate ta you what happens when two or more unions represent work- ers ln a plant. When any ana af thèse groups a luta reach an agree- ment with tihe company. and having exhausted the legal procedures la collective bar- gai-nlng and then vote ta go on strike and flnally strike, and set up theti pickat lunes tbey flnd that they bave ta try ta stop their friends croslng their pbcket linea. Wltness the strike by The Guild la Peterborough, The Times In Oshawa, The Star la Taranto, The Telcgramn in Taranto. Thèse ftghta have been long, and bard feelings bave developed between workcrs ln the different groups. Be- cause af these bard feelings 1 believe ln ane union re- preseating workers in any given shop. Now suppose, (we or per- haps I should say I) deal with W. M. Prime. You, my goad persan, are not apoosed ta the UA.W. Nor are yau- in favor of ItL I arn going te, assume that you have somne other union ln mind. WIien a person cannot are with a majartty de- cision he or asebas the right WEEKEND WITH SMILEY I neyer want ta wish my life away, but somne weekends 1 could do without. and be perfectly happy ta have my life cut short by three days. It started Friday. Somebody called the principal at the school et 8:00 ar. and said there was a bamb planted in the building. Very sensibly, he kicked ail the students out of the plant, and kepi al the teachers in it. It was a rather brutal, but efficient, way of pointing out who wàs dispensable in the systemn. Hordes of police and firemen add- ed ta the excitement. The teachers were twittering like swallows, making bad jokes about ticking brief cases and other bilariousi abjects. As an aid figbter pilot,, wbo had bombed, and lied been bomnbed in more ways than one, I thougbt I should set a good examole, sa settled myself in a corner of the staff roomn and read poetry. Not a soul was impressed, whîch was rather depressing. The kids had a baIl. It was like being l'ocked out of jail. The smokers gathered in their oulside smoking bay and reefed away an the weed as tbough it were going out of style. A number of young ladies, locked out of the school on a cold, windy day and ligbtlv clad, climbed into cars witb their boy friends ta "keep warm." The pool-room crowd headed strairfft downtown. Eventually, the scbool was cleared and we got a sort of half-boliday, while the police searched the building. Every- one rather enjoyed the break in routine except myseif. To sorneone who ia per- fectly organized, such a disruption la very disrupting. It was a fairly hair-raising day for the teachers in charge of the scbool's annual musical cornedy, ta be presented that night. Would there be any audi- ence, with the local radio station an- nounicing, hourly, that there migbt be a bomb in the scbool ? Needless ta say, there was no bonib, and there was a huge audience, and the musical, fortunately. wau anything but a bomb. Happy ending. Who made the phone cal?
