4 The Canadf an qtatemian, I;mwmanviile, June 2,,1971 Drop-in-Centre- Under Review June 1, 1971 Simpson Ave., Bamanville, 'Ont. Dear Mr. James:. As a home awner and a taxp ayer, îI would like to know what kind of a place this Youth Drop-in Centre is?"I' During the winter months we had ta put up with ski doos until ail hours of the night even after the by-law was passed. Now that spring is here, it bas been cars and motorcycies racing up and down ihis street where there are a lot of smalhldrn Young boys and girls going up the ,treet at 12 o'clock at night, singing and yelling ta the top of their Iungs, waking people up who need their sleepas they have ta get up and go ouit to work.' Also, we get ail their litter, beer bott1es, pop cans, papers ail over the raoad and lawns. If these kîds have notb- ing better ta do with their time I would tiuggest tbey go arounrd and help some of the aider people an srnall pensions shovel their side waiks or even do their own instead of letti.ng thrir mnothers and fal,.ers do it. At this time of year there are iawns ta cut, hedges ta cut, or even clean Up some of their own messes they make. A littie workneyer killed anybody and they are yelling they can't find work, if they wanted one and were nlot afaiof a littie dirt or back strain tbey could find one. I did myself after not working for five years 1 went out and got a job, net a Îancy one, hard work and small pay, but it is a job. The kîds of, today want evýerything given ta them. What kind of citizens will they be when they grow up? The town police cannot be every- where at once but when yau caîl thema tbey corne as. soon as they can and try ta stop the offendiers but sometëimes these kids are home or they seè the police caming "rd hide. If they want the drap ini centre let tbem behave as aduits and showv a littie respect for other people by being quiet and not disturbing their sleep. Thank you Mr. James for lettin.g me express my views on this matter. A Simpson Ave. Resident Narne withheld by the Editor The Report of thef Barber Royal Commission on Farm Machinery under he Chairmanship of Dr. Clarence Bar- ber, head of the Department af Econ.- omics at tbe University of Manitoba, was tablcd in the House of Commons rpentl.y.1 The Rpatcantains a wcalth of information but -veryv little of comf art for Canadian farmers. Dr. Barber did rot mvake-, any friends in the farm machinery manuf acturîng industry wben be stated that, "It is clear thatý rîiscriminalory pricing in the sales of tractors is stili being practised against tli Canadian farmer". Hc wenit on ta point out, that identical models are stili hc-ing sold in Britaint 22'i-342't cheaper than in Ca2nada., Tbe Commission poinited mit that mare than 90% off the farm mnachinery that cames i nta Canada and iexported 4s pato nra-company deals. The commission haýd no firm proposais on Ibow ta change thec situation. The Cana- $lian companies miust purchase the machinery or parts fron corporate par- ents or subsidiaries in other countries wha set the selling price ta the Cana- diant companies inordinateiy high. Inother words, the Canadian com- panies are tbe victims of a rather friendfly holdup by their parents or sub- sidiaries in otber countries. It is ail in the family s0 to speak! The rcsult is the inordinatcly high price that the Cana- dian campanies must charge tbe farm- er. Farmers have every reasan lu res- cnt the treatment they have been receiv- ing from the large international mach- inery manufacturers. Tbey shouid be careful, hawever, not ta blame their local machincry dealers who are re- quired, in fact, toi charge the inflated prices as dictated by the forcign mcm- bers of their familles. The Report -of the Rayai Commis- sion makes sol-fe incidentai recammen- dationis but really admits defeat wîth respect ta grappling wîth the policiel. of the multinational corporations which are outsidc the scope of the legislative autbority of Canada's parfiament. I eport from Queen's Park. by Alex Carruthers M.P.P. Last wcek a; group of same 200 stu- dents from the variaus Toronto second- ary schools appeared in a demonstration before ýthe Parliament Buildings appas- ingý the recent cuts LIn eduïcational costs.

Certainly this group did not repre- ent the thousands af vcryfine and. erusyaunig people, who make up the population of aur secondary schoois, but aýs anc- min gled with themn, and listcned to the harangue af their leaders, il be- eame very apparent that there bas been îan infiltration i- a ur sebools by Com- '-lunist agitators, and Commuïnist celis have been cstabýlished witbin these in- The- comments of the leaders reveal- rd dhe emnotional techniques used ta in- fluence the students and the following quotes from speeches an the occasion aýnd from literature circulated gives an inidication of the attitude and thinkîn.g înf the group: a) Walkouts can beat the price increas- 4,s, the cutbacks and aur lousy education, ais well as kicking over the authority of t-he petty dictator principals. h~) The principals and authorities tell al kînds of lies abou t Commrunism ta keep students from finding out wbat it realiy 'means. 0) Communists believe that working people should run the'cauntry. The only frecdom, we wvant ta take away is the frcedom the big wheels have ta run tbings for their own profit. di> The m-ost important thing is not ta let-their wîld stories and tbreats keep anyone from walking out, If enough people walk out they wil] have ta re- schedule -their tests and tear up their detention slips. c) There are more of us than there are of thiem.

This way wc can show the crummny board who is right, and who is wrang. Their remarks bring ta mmnd the words of the Russian Communist mani- festa ai 1918 in wbich the, rules f'or a successfuh take-aver ai national govern- ments included the following statement: Divide the population into hostile graups by repcatedly stressing contra- versial matters of uitile importance.

OTTAWA-When the gov- ernment learned recently that the number of unem- playeci had increased by 9,000 in April instead of go- ing dawni by 50,000, il look- eci like the traditianal car- taon figure of the floor painter wha bad painted himself into a corner. But in this case the paint may nat dry soon eough for the painter ta escape with oniy an embarrassed grin on his face. lnstead the painter, or the government may find its credibility aimost de- stroyed and find itself fac- ed with a public that zeriously questions its comi- petfnce. The past winter bas been a bad one as far as unem- ployment was concerned. But il was not as bad as many ecanomists had pre- dîcted. They thaughit that in February or March the number of jabless mîght reach 750,000 - about 10 per cent of the labor for-ce. Actually, the largest total of Jobless reached during the winter was about 690,- 000. Hawever, while unemploy,- ment was severe, ail eco- namic indicators poînted ta improvements in the coný- ditions for findiag wark in Canada. The government believed these indicators. t decided agaînst using its ecaniomic muscle ta create jobs and opted instead ta fig1it inflation. And Finance Minister Edgar Benson confidently predicted, that unemploy- ment would constantly de- dline for the rest of thie year, on a seasonally-adjust- ed bamis, the figures which take int accaunt summer peaks and winter valeys in unemployment rates. For several weeks after Mr. Bensonmade tbis pre- diction, it loaked goad. The other economic indi- catars aIl continued ta îm- prove. Housing startss la- creased, Retail sales in- creased. Everythiag point- ed towards a boom in the ecoflomy. Then came the release aof the figures for' unemplay- ment in April. They stunn- ed Ottawa. The number of! jobless was Up by 9,000. This in a manth when the number of unempiayed usu- aily drops substantially. The result was, an increase in the seasonally-adjustedl unemplayment figure fram six per cent ta 6.7 per cenit. There was, littie bbc, gov- ernmenl could say tecx A FLUL LIFE O)ne of the most distinguished men In the land once describcd, in a public address-, what he. caled bis creed. He disclaimed any intention of speaking in the name of religion. "I do not en- craacb," he said, "on tbe province of spiritual guides." Nonetheless, he was led ta sum Up hîs faith in wbat he called the triune formula of the joy, the duty, and the goal of hf e. Wbat is the joy of life? It is ta use one's pawers. And wbat is the duty of if e? It is ta do, wîtb ahl your encrgy, wvhat yaur hand finds ta do. Andwhat is the goal of life? It is noth- ing else. than lif e itself. Sa ta lîve is ta live mare truly, wisely, cffectively, fuily,- that is at once joy, duty and goal. It is most. interesting to observe a man wha may be properly called, in the best sense af the woËd, a man of the world, appraaching so closeiy ta the language of the Christian religion. Tbraughaut the New Testament the aim af life is ta gain mare life. "I came," says Jesus, that tbey may have life, and have it abundantly." What is the rexvard of one's bodihy exercise? It is the capacity ta use the body mare effectively. You train your life, and the result af your training is more lii e. Wbat is the reward of keep- îng yourtemper?_It is the capacity ta, plain Ibis figure. Lttried 10 convince people that il was anly a one-montb fluke, the resuit af the bard wint- er and late spring. Mr. Bensan suggested that il was only a seasonal fluctu- ation and that tbe May figures would show unem- ployment goiiig down again. Opposition Leader Robert Stanfield scornfully dis- missed tbis with the com- ment, "If Mr. Bensan had beeni Finance Minister in 1929 bie would have dis- missed the crash as a 'seas- anal fluctuation'." The goverrnment. looked bad on the issue. And it was stuck. It couldn't take any action to combat un- emp]ayment because it bad previousiy argucd against the' necessity of sucb -ac- tion. , t was 1like a man who bad painted bimsclf inb a corner. 1> on the one side il bad repeatedly said Ibat the economy was improving and no action was -needed ta stimulate il. On the other side it bad warned af the grawing danger of inflation wbicb any stimulus would only worsen. Sa the government bas found itself in a position where it.must stand pat. Meanwhile members of the Opposition, same Provincial Governments and other Canadians bave urged eca- nomic action af some kind. Tbey rejected Mr. Ben- son's arguments Ihat every- thing- is satisfactory, point- ing la the Finance Min- ister's b 1ad track record that bas sudnybecome op b- vîous,. Jn tumn, Mm, BenR o and By lliii ljjeic A SOBER SIDE TO JUNE'S DELIGHTS June i one of the happiest months of the year in Canada. Or it should be. In other countries they have spring. In thîs country, we have a bieak month before the last snow gaes, and June bursts forth in ail1 her iush, soft spien- dour. Grass is startling green and the cat- fie f iii their bellies with the juicy sweetness after a, long winter of con- finement and duli f odder. Young ones of ail species actuai]y gambol, snort, kick up their heels and butt their mothers on anc side, then. on the udder. Our trees have- forgotten their groaning and cracking in the teeth of winter;. they bow and whisper like ladies at a garden party while the squir- rels scamper saucily about their legs and the birds twitter among their ample bosoms and verdant hair. June is full of anticipation. The boat owners are painting and repairing and laurwhing. The golfers are having their finest hour before the silly summer duffers swarm onto the courses. And schoal is neariy over. And the most beautiful marriages ever conceiv- ed are in the offing. It is a rnonth when surely every Canadian should be shouting-, 'Praise- the Lord", or "Let joy be unconfinied", or at least, "Wow! This is the greatest!" But a benevaient Providence, in its wisdom, must remind man that every rose has a thorn. that every light con.. tains its darkness, that every gaod has a balancing evii. It's probably ju 'st as well, If there were fia bad smells, we wouldn't appre- ciate the gaod ones. If we neyer feit pain or illness, we wouldn't appreciate Sa, in June, as in if e, there's an- other turn of the wheel, another side of the coin. Tbere's ail that gloriaus nature, just waiting to be reveiled in. And there are ail thase mosquitoes eand biack-f lies j ust waiting ta revel in turning you intoaa swollen porpoise or a stripped skeieton. There's ail that luxuriant grass. But the dam' stuiff,îs up ta your kneesbef are you get your lawnmower overhauled. And there's ail that young life, June was a happy month for my mother, more years ago than it is decent ta talk about. She prautdly bore her third son, me. But what she, got was a sickly, whelp who cried for two years without stopping and barely survived every ini- fant's ailmnent there was. in those days. There's ail that anticipation. Bt the boat owner discovers that the rats have been at his sails, or the termites at his bull, or his motor bas developed a perforated ulcer. And the golfer swings too hard an bis first day out, slips a disc and is out for the summer. To be sure, school is nearly out, But June is pure bell for bath teacher and student. For the teacher it is aý scramble of final reviews, an avalanche o 'f evaluation, a surfeit of statistics. Fait enough. He's paid for it, But he mîght as well be teachîng a couple of cords of wood. The bodies areý there, but the minds and spirits have fled through the open windows into the musky June air, It's even worse for the student. There is'that oaf talking about paetryý when the greatestpaetry in the warldi is taking place outside that stifling rec- tangular prison. The Iblood stirs, theý limbs go languorous, the eyes go glassY and that retarded aduit up front might as well be taiking ta himself in Sw,,a- bii. As for those beautifuil iarriages. conceived in beaven, andi timc-tabled for June. If' I had any' statistics, I'd say,ý that statîsties show Ithat fit per cent. of them will end in a hf e of quiet des- peration, thirty per cent (-f them will be unbearabie, ten per, cent wcill be i-- passible, f ive perý cent u-nspeakable. Theý rest will wind iip having thefir sixtiethi anniversary pictures in the local paper. l'in nat being cyýnical a'bouti June. I wouldn't miss it forantig I arn merely, as usual, prebenlting the facts. kcep yourý ternper betterý. Whaèt i5 thie rewar d af doing you.i:riduty? Il is thie ability, as well as the desire, ta o oroe. There is, howvever, acstriking ii- ference between the self-cuitivating, life and tbe Christin 1f e. The materia- list finds the loy and duty and goal af lufe in the increase af his awn resour- ces. The Christiaýn teaching finds loy and duty and goal, not -in getting, but in giving life. "I came," says Jesus, "not ta secure more if e for mysehi, but that THEY may have 11f c." "He who finds biis ife wili lose it, and. he who loses bis Iice for my sake wilh find it." "Death is at wark in us," says the Apostie Paul, "but lufe in you." Thie triune formu.la of joy, duty, and goal, accordinig ta the Chris- tian teachîng, is discavered in the com- municative and self-propagating nature of spiritual power. What is the joy of life? It is the discovery ai the capacity ta inspire life. And what, is the duty of lufe? It is not acquisition, but service. And what is the goal ai ife, or, in the ianguagc of the New Testament, its crawn?, Il is not a crown aif gald, or jewchs, which anc may wear on bis awn head. Il is, as the Baok ai Revelatian says, "a crown of 11f e," - the increase of capa- city, the enrichment of appartunity, the chance ta be ai lasting use,,the enviable authority ta say with Jesus, "I give them eternal li e" bas said that any action ta change the direction of the economy will be announced in bis budget planncd for the middle af June. Such answers have just in- creased the clamor of op- position to Mr, Benson from people wvho say bcefbas no right tao bring, dow,,n anioth-er budget having been proven wrong in financial decisions be bas made in the past. This question of credibil- it'y isý probably a greater Ibreat ta the survival of the government thani is thle straigbtforward issue of un- employment. Peopl)e are mare lîkcly ta vote against a government if theeievecic it doesn't know wbathit is j doing than tbey are if tbeFy merely believe it baýs been unable to avoid an uinemi- playment problemn. The governmcnt knows that lack of crcdibility cati be an explosive palitical issue. Lt knows 1that Jack of credibility is gcnerailyv considered one-of the major reasons for thedintga lion of the administration ai former United States Presi.- dent Lyndan Johnson. But it can't do anything dramatic in the econam-y ta lry la restore its cr-edi"bility% because sncb action WOLd be self-defeating. Il ba s said repeatedly in the past Ihat such action is not need- cd. As a resuit il mtsî st and wait - like the r-es-tai Canada - for tbe, next un- empioym-ent statistics.
