NEWSTART lm financed entireiy by the Federal Government, Provinces contribute facilities and support sucb as, In Alberta, the active co-operation of the Alberta Human Resaurces Devel- opment Agency. The northern Alberta area where NEWSTART is located is rich in nat- tiral resources. The developmeut lm ihenomenal. The potential of the Atha- Zbasca Tar Sands staggers the imagina- tion. In three years Fort McMurray has grown from a trading post o! 300 toaa bustling, modern city of 7,000. The problema is that the Indian and -~Metia people of the ares are not train- ed ta take advrartage of new jobs creatý ed. Many o! them live in abject poverty. Consequenbly, ib is necessary ta bring in l oubside people to n'ian the buge n'ew ;developments, and, theref are deveiop- ment ini the region does flot belp the native people. NEWSTART là a training program deuigned to give the native population *the oppôrtunity ta obtain a basic edu- cation, personal and life skills, home and family management, vocaionai -and occupational skill training ta en- able them ta qualify for the job appar- tunities in the area. Yesterday I talked ta a NEWSTART *trainee. A 45 year aid Indian. He had neyer gone ta school. Two months ago lie could not nead or write. Yesterday be was readîng the Readers Digest.

Publicity a ut o! Ottawa concen- trates on the 'mare dramatie and im- portant legislation such as The Officiai Languages Act and the Crîminal Code Ameudments. Less publicized legisis- tion Is being processed in Parliament fnom day ta day. I might bniefly review in this Report four statutes passed receutiy. New Anti-Dumping legisiation now pravides that duty may be charged where gaods are irnported into Canada at less than the normal value if this is causing on threatening to cause material injury ta an iudustry or producer ln Canada. Amnendmeuts ta the Patent Act, the Trade Marks Act and the Food and Drugs Act are part of the government's programme ta reduce drug prices. This legislation is aimed at increasing com- petition in the industry by facilitating the importation a! drugs into Canada. The statute provides that the govern- ment may make regulations gaverning the protection of the public in relation ta, drugs manufactured outside Canada. The Publication o! Statutes Act provides that aIl Acts o! Parliament will be prnted lu bath Engiish and French in paraliel columns, thus assur- ing that lawyers and judges will have bhe laws readily available ln bath off i- cial ianguages. The Navigable Waters Protection Act was oigiuaily passed to protect Canada's navigable waters f ram man- made obstructions such as bridges, dams, transmission ines and wharfs. Arnendmeuts passed at this session of Parliament are designed ta bring the Act up ta date. lb removes certain anomalies in the aid legislation and particulariy it ensures that navigable waten remains navigable for the barger ships which are being constnucted ta- day. 1 4%« 1 b - GEO.

The vote culrninated smre weeks of Intensive debate oh the estimates of the Department of Social and Family Services, during which the resignation of the Honorable John Yaremko, Min- ister of that department, was demanded by several opposition speakers. Mr. Yaremko bore the brunt of the opposition attack which centred around a number of issues including the foilow- ing charges: a) That the Department o! Social and Family Services had failed to spend the $1,000,0.00 voted in the 1968 estimates for Indian development. b) The Interdepartmental Committee on Indian Development had not met regulariy. c) The Federàl-Provincial Cammitte. on Indian Affairs had flot met at any time in 1968. d) The recommendations of the Indian Advisony Committee were largely ignored. e) Indian familles particularly In northwestern Ontario are living in conditions of paverty and squalor. c Thé controversial debate in the i legisiature had severai significant dev- elopments:- 1) The resignation of Chie! Nadiwonc as Chairman of the Indian Advisory r Cornrittee to become the first s president of the union o! the Ont-c ario Indians. f 2) The resignatian of seven of the officiais of the Indian Development e Branch. These officiais it is now tý reported are seeking ernployment n with anather bnanch of the govern- ii ment. r Several proposais were present ed a to the government during the course of t] the debate by opposition members and p by variaus groups interested in Indian p developrnent. These included : b a) A demand by the union of Ontario A Indians for a- crown corporation to ci administer Indian deveiopment. oj b) A request by the Wîdjiitiwin Cor- poration, a northern Ontario corn- o, munity co-operative, for a $50,000. di loan and a $15,000. grant to build e( and repair homes for the Indian di population. G e) A request by the union of Ontario fi Indians for a grant of $54,000. to hi finance a study and evaluation o! fii services to the Indian population. he The problem facing our native oi population is flot difficult to define. It pi is very apparent that the situation is ta not satisfactory, and governments at ail levels recognize this fact. The an- swer to the probiem is somnething else, however, and invoives many many fac- tors that make a solution difficuit. Some of these could be listed as follows : a) The tribal customs that have exist- ed over the centuries and which vary from band ta band make self- determination difficuit. b) The scattered Indian communities which make arganization and ad- ministering of service difficuit. c) The resistance to education, by a large percentage of the Indian population has made it difficuit for these people ta find useful empioy- ment. d) The serious and often adverse ef- fect of our white society's customs on Indians citizens has tended to keep the standard of living at a low level. Alcoholism, is a particu- larly serious factor. e) The division within the Indian community as to which govern- ment Federal or Provincial should have jurisdiction over Indian af- fairs has had a serious affect on the provision of services, As a partial solution to the prob- lem is the definite need for a clear defining of responsibilities in the field of Indian affairs between the Federai and Provincial governments. Two Federal-Provincial agreemnents hiave been signed by Ontario on behalf of the Indian comrnunity. The first provides for the administration of social services, that is welfare, to the Indian comrnunity by the province assisted 'inancially by the Federal goverrnent. The second agreement was design- ed to provide for provincial participa- tion in a prograrn of Indian develop- ment on a 50-50 cost basis. It is in the nterpretation of this agreement that nany of the present day difficulties îffecting our Indian population have heir origin. As interpreted by the province the agreement involved the provision of housing and other services, but the Federal Department of Indian Affairs contends that the 50-50 sharing zosts applies only to the salaries o! ffici ais. The province has since 1967 voted ver $1,000,000. each year for Indian evelopment, but it has largely rernain- ýd unspent because of the lack of a efinite agreemnent with the Federal -overnment. Efforts have been made r the past year by the province to iave the difficulty resolved and clani- ed, but up to the present tirne these iave been of no avail. In the meantime, un nn na atlmr pity hdas n ag na au rrplîîa avn ge.

I belleve. His stories were lntensely lnteresting and very hum- orous alsa. Here ls ane that If my memory ta serving me cor- rectly this story concerna another Quackenbush. Detective Murray stated that Quackenbush was a wanted nman. Describing Quackenbush xplendldly Murray told the story about lîke thiq. For some unknown reasan Quackenbbush actually came ln ta Toronto wbere he wan exbremely well known. Murray described Quacken- bush as a man of prodiglaus physical strength. Along with this terrifie power ln bis muscles he de- llghbcd In mixing lb up wibh policemen. Anather very famous To- ronto detective, Fornest. was then.on duty. Murray simp- ]Y reported everylîhing as lb book. place ln 'his remin- Iscences. Five Toronto policemen convenged up on Quacken- bush at once knowlng his In- credIble stnength. Detective Forrest won close by. according to Mur- raY. Quackenbush piled the entire five policemen ln a heap. Detective Forrest then en- tered the affair. According bu Fonrest's own words, he carrled bis revolver and of course, Quackenbush had no defence against the revolver. Otherwise 1 give Forrest credit for bis statement that Quackenbush "wauld have piled me on top o! the ather policemen".

Hoping this aId happening will- lnterest your readers, Mr. James, I amn, sincerely yours, 'Longboat. Ralph R. Tooley. Sugaor and Spice IT'S GOT ME BAFFLED - lb takes a mickle ta make a muckle, whatever that means. And it takes a lot of rnîckles and muckles to make up that peculiar agglomeration of marn- mais known as modemn society, includ- ing a quantity of crackpots aud a welter of weirdos. Present company accepted. Four different glimpses of modemn society, the human race, in the last few days have baffled me cornpletely. How did we get as far as we've corne? And how corne we haven't got farther ? First of these was a big project at the big shoe factory I work in. Teachers and students have been slaving for months, making. canoes and planning trips. They wound up with about 30 canoes, rnaps, compasses and no brains. With just a littie less fanfare than the Spanish Armada, they set off on a sunny Friday aftennoon, holiday week- end, ta conquer the wilderness and make Etienne Bruie look like a Sunday tripper. lb nained ail day Satunday, Sunday and Monday in the great national park they chose for their insanity. The tem- perýature was a littie abave freezing. They came back exhausted, saaked ta the skin, and frozen ta the marrow. About 50 people were about as misenable as they even have been, or ever will be, in their lives. And already they'ne planning the next tn7p. Already, lt's a great adveuture, ini retrospect. I kn >ow the feeling. I was a prisaner of war, an d there was little joy in the jaunt. But looking back, I wouidn't have missed it for auything. Pretty stupid, eh ? The same weekend, since the ramn ruied out anything intelligent, I took two littie nieces out ta the beach ta see the "matoncycle gang." We saw them. In ali'heir glory. Black jackets, beards, long hair and frightening. The kids weren't. I was. Frightened, that is. When we arrived, these young adults, and I emphasize that they're not teen-agers, were graaving on f ire- works. Fantunately, they wene so been- ed-up, and it was sa damp, that the whole thing was a fizzle-. They were try- onth Bul S ofmaestuatydls olng he floro!retarn. Adis What makes these people wander about the country in wolf packs ? They get their kicks framn noise, speed and violence. But they're people, and cer. tainly some of them have brains,-feel. ings, decency. Yet they're capable of actions that necali Hitler's Brownshirt;% and I don't think there's any need te go into detail. I was glad the two police cars were there. The next uight, there was a bit fine, about four blocks from aur house, when a lumber yard went up in a dazz. ling display. And wha was there hot. radding it from ail over town te get a ring-side seat. Good, honest, respon. sîble taxpayers. Including yours truly., 1 was so pleased (I've always loved a good fine, especiaily at night) that 1 ieft my wife standing in her dressing. gown and pyjamas, a bout a block fromn the blaze, while 1 pressed dloser for a cheek-by-jowl view with the other sen- sible citizens. "Ain't she a dandy ?" And "That's a real ripper," we grinned into each athers' orange faces, a little disappoint- ed because there was no wind, and the f iremen were preventing it f rom spread- ing. My wife walked three blocks home, in hen night attire. I'd forgottén her completely. What kind of monsters are we ? And then I went back ta achool after the weekend, and here are thèse Grade 12 students, in panel discussions, sane, seniaus and sensible, grappiing in- telligently with the problerns they'ré going to have ta face shortly. They're flot doing it te impress me. Sorne of their opiniond would curi their mothers' hair. But they don't like soc- iety much the way it la, and they want to do something about it. They get angry with each other, disagnee, graw red in the face, and shout at each ather like -- weil, like a group of adults. Cnazy world, but lt',s the one I want ta stay in fan a while, at least. Taday's wanld, in addition ta the cald binocu- lans o! the histonians, needs some minor chroniclens, like yaur humble servant, General Farm Oniklerga 1 Dean Sir: Iu the foilowing letter I would like .~ta set the facts stnaigbt regarding some Iincorrect staternents sud false assump- Itions made in a recent letten in your R aper aven the name o!

I arn very disburbed by, this fonm o! apposition based on false statements and misin- terpretabion o! the facts in Bill 140 1knowu as the General Farm Organiza- tian Act. Mr. King says, "he is disgusted with the governments buiidozing power and Jack of democratic process in Bill 140 (G.F.O. Acb) . He must surely be iettîng some personal palibical bias show bbnough bis tbinking at this point. Bill 140 is most dcmnocratic. Ib is "enabling legisiation" wbich will let ail fanm peo- pie heip decide the structure they want in a G.F.O. by a secret ballot. This bal- lot is ta be conducted freeiy aud fairly by non-partisan individuals. Upon bhc cômpletion o! s successfui paîl (60% YES o! al] those voting) farm people will have the oppontunity under simi- Ian fair and free circurnsbances ta elecb three delegates per anc thousand fanm- ens iu bbe Counby o!

They Will have bhe power aud apponbunity ta develop aud apprave of a constitution and bbc varaius by- laws o! bhe G.F.O. This surely is bhc democralie process iu its mnost desirable form. Mn. King says, "farmers are ta be exterminated by the compulsory check- off". IIow nidiculous can yau get iu stretching the true facbs ta suit your own ends? On the cantrary the com- puisory check-off wîli guananteea fair measure o! finaucial support for at Gs.F.O. paid by ail producers o! agnicul- tural pnoducts.

Mr. King says, "action needs ta b. taken by goverument ta accammodate bbc climate under which farmers can effectively operate". Whab document bas he been rcading ? Bill 140, bhe G.F.O. Act, does exactiy this. Ib makes possible a sbrong, effective, democrabie voice far farm people, conbrolled by farm people. This is bbe best legialation ever presented for a gencrai farmn or- ganization ta operabe under. The G.F.O. will nlot be government controlled in any way, (just in some peoples fertile imagination). Ib is similar ta legisiation aliowin g k the doctor, Iawyer, dentist and beach. ing professions ta organize snd help their members. By the way do you know anyone fram bbc afore menbioned graups suffering from. inadequate in- comnes? Mr. King says. "that the compul- sony unity being thrust upon farmers is backed by vested interests". This la pure poppycock. This legisiation offers a great apportunity for farmn people ta improve their ecanamic position wibhin saciety naw sud in the future. The orily vested interests that can get in will b. through the door ieft open by individual and collective farmer "apathy".

These people desenve the resuits o! a farm arganizatian that this type o! effort wiil bring them. This is what wc aIl wiIl get if this is the way we act in bbc next tbree weeks befare bbe vote. If farmers are sincene in their des- J ire for a sbrong effective voice, they e can make use of this excellent legisla- tion by votiug YES on voting day snd urge their neighbors and !niends ta do likewise.
