Forres ter . Editor Eric Patterson.. AdvertidnCIÉ THE ELECTION IS OVER Across the province the election of last Thursday bas cbanged very littie but in the Durham Region the results were somewhat different. Where in the past year and a baîf the area was represented in the legisînture by three NDP members the new legisînture will witness two new faces from the region both conservatives along with Mike Breaugb NDP wbo retained bis seat in Osbawa. Just wbat thîs may mean to tbis area time will only tell. Conratulations must go to Sam Cureatz and his workers wbo for a period of tbree weeks canvassed tbe area day and night and did corne up wîth the win on June 9tb. His position in this comrmunity will now.be a demanding one and following is election be contended be would accept the challenge. The tempo of service in this riding bas been set botb by Doug Moffatt and Alex Carruthers wbo both were untiring ridign representatives. One could only wisb Sam well in is new vocation as MLA for Durbam East. Altbougb Doug Moffatt lost out in re-election be could bardly be termed a loser. Moffatt and is organization have over tbe years establisbed a sound NDP base in Durham East far beyond wbat some might have feit a few years ago. t bas been an achievement for Doug wio bas given is untiring efforts to is beliefs and is party. H1e is also to be congratulated and thanked for the service he rendered to tbe riding while a member of the legislature. Electors of the area mnust also give praise to the youtbful liberal candidate Joan Downey wbo gave anotber dimension to tbe Durham East race. Altbough not close in the race sbe did exemplify that youtb is concerned and do bave opinions regarding tbe operation of this province. Sbe must be tbanked for ber part in the recent elec tion. There may be amny reasons for the outcome of the Durhamn East race, apatby on tbe part of NDP supporters, a shift of liberal vote especially in the Osbawa area to the conservatives, a fear of the NDP and tbe $4.00 minimum wage, tbe lack of funds for some parties wbile the conservatives appenred to bave adequate funding and of course tbe strenuous campaign of Sam and is followers. The democratic system prevails, tbe people bave spoken and Durbam East now bas a new memnber in the legislature. See-saw (Continuied froni page 1) ridings represen ta tive. 11e also said tlia[ the margin of win for the Conservatives in the next election would be much. greater than tbe 115 votes. Miss Joan Downey sai she ha& mixed feelings being disappointed in flot winnîng the riding or even coming second but was bappy over the overaîl results for tbe liberai party. She said she would be a candidate in the next provin- cial election if tbe local Liberal association would have ber as their candidate. Doue, fMoffatt on Sunday stated that it was no surprise to im that the officiai count confirmed ' r~"I as issued on ThursdÀay, night. H1e said be was seriousiy consid- erinig asking for a recount as tbe turnaround of this riding couid bave a big effect in the position of the NDP party at Queen's Park. At tbe present timne the liberals bave become tbe official opposition baving 34 seats to the NDP 33 seats. If tbe Durham East riding wouid go to the NDP party both tbe liberais and NDP would be tied and Russell Rowe, PC for Northumber- land and leader of tbie bouse would have to make the decision on wbich party would be placed as the officiai opposition. t bas been sug- gested tbat the dec-ision wouid bave to favour tbe NDP as tbe Liberals would not bave defeated tbem as the officiai opposition. ln looking to the future, Mr. -Moffatt said be would be laying low for a time before making any decisions. 11e said he bad a number of openings including returning to teacbing. Moffatt was given a leave of absence fromn the Board of Education wben he was principal of the Orono Public Scbool to enter pol- itics. H1e is assured of a teacbing position witbin tbe area but this would not in-clude being principal of any of the scbools. ,,ettiement and htng- T eacners lations had been carried out (Continued from page 1) most amicably. bargaininig committee of dis- MIr.

Moffatt also stated miat in bis opinion there woula be an election mucb sooner than most people tbougbt. In speaking witb Mr. Geo- rge Pollitt on Monday be said, he did not tbink there would be a recount. 11e felt that 115 votemargin would not change Viewing the news by Frank Kaplan Educating for Unted States business and industry is comning out of the reoession-depression while Canada is lagging. For that matter, Canada even seems to be sagging further. The resilience of the United States again is amazing the world. Why the U.S. and flot us? One reýson has to be an awareness in that country of how the economic world really works. The U.S. seldomn follows for long any pat, cure-ail theory. Certainly mistakes are made; but il doesn't take long until oid and basic ideas returfi. Those ideas are founded in the philosophy that people are productive - - not governiment, not inanimnate factories and anonymnous machines. In the U.S., if something has to be done such as recovery from recession and rebuilding an economy, enterprising people do the job. Enterprise is the operative word. Note how the new President Carter set an even-keel policy of working toward a government structure that doesn't constantiy intrude and upset the efforts of individuals, H1e wants governmnent bureaucracy to be supportive, flot destructive. President Carter is a southernier. The citizens of U.S. south are known for an attitude contained in the phrase "'I'm from Missouri - show mre". This reflects a healthy scepticism and demnands proof that somieihing wiil work. [ni economic areas --- in running fac-tories, holding a job, buying groceries - - rmost adulîs know what works from experience. We don't need a course in economics. We don't need to read Marx of Keynes or Galbraith or any other of the modern witch doctors of society. Unfortunately, not everybody knows or is experienced in reality. Universities can be areas of shelter from reality. In the past, universities were looked upon as places to iearn, cs, and argue theory, but then t o test theory with a "show me" scepîicismn. Piresident Carter studied formally in a sophisticated modern science and then went out into the world to create a solid personal underpinnîing in is life as a farmer-businessmian. Judging by the cries of anguish fromi university enterprise graduates, too few today understand that an individual bas to make his own progress in life. Too many feel that the diploma rates an automatie siot in the economie structure. The attitude is that an engineer is entitled to an engineering job; a teacher is entitled to a teaching job, and s0 on. The failure among younger people is to understand how engineering and teaching and other jobs corne about. The point was made recently by Charles Spahr, chairmran of Standard Qil of Ohio. 1He said the U.S. bas created an educated class that can build spaceships or transplant human organs but ils graduates have no idea of how the funds to send them through schooi were generated. Young people have enquiring minds. They do not have the necessary knowledge because- they have flot been given that information. Business, al kinds of business from the big company to the corner store, mnust press harder to the level of economnic understandîng among the new generatio-n. U.S. business people have been very much aware of this need for many years. John G. Hlutchenis, president of the United States Industrial Council which bas been in existence for miore than 40 years, observed recently; "One thing is certain. If we do not ensure that the fundamentals of economics are properiy expiained tu the rising generation, no one else will do the job for us." "...To do the job right, businessmen inust put, together their program and presenti, t 10 students in a way that aiiows as much personal contact as possible. Fortunaîely, there is ait least one group of businessmen in this country (.US.) that bias been doing precicely that for years."l And wouldn't you know that such a programn of persona! education was organized 12 years ago by the "show me" people of the Missouri Chamnber of Commerce. In Canada, we o-ften take our lead îrom U.S. practices. In educalîing for enterprise, Canadiani business can work toward emulating the U.S. te the benefit of ail of us. 1 would like to thank the parents of Qrono-Newcastle area with teen-agers who could care less what their kids are doing. Don't you care that your kids are running crazy, drinking and just being allowed to do what they want. My seventeen year old left home Saturday, because she is easily influenced by the others, however this is no excuse for ber. Everyone tells ber I'm too strict or old fashîoned because we didn't want hber out everynigbt in the week, drinking, running around with others that we didn't think was good corn- pany for her to keep. t seems that everyone else's parents know more than your own. You parents wbo allow your bilidren to run continually and don't care are raising a generation of juvenile delin- quents and the parents who are trying to keep control of their kids are really under warfare. Mothers when those babies were in your arms as new- borns, what did you expect themn to do, look after themselves, and now because they've gotten a few years older you just release themn to the world to let themn become that mucb to upset the Thursday resuits of the elect- ion. I'd especially like to tbank the parents wbo condone tbis kind of tbing by ailowing drinking parties to take place on tbe front lawns where there are under 18 year olds drinking, and by taking in these kids tbat tbink their own parents don't know bow to raise a family. We've tried to do our best, trying to know wbere tbey are and wbat they are doing, but tben they start .lying and sneaking out, because their friends are aliowed to do what they want. Pull in tbe reins parents, it's your responsibility to maise your famîly to be a credit to the community, not a burden. Start stepping on tbem instead of aiflowing tbem to walk ail over you. Laurie knows better tban to do tbe tbings sbe bas beex< doing. Sbie knows tbe rules of tbe bouse and she's decided not to foliow tbe rules. Praise the Lord. We bave the victory, Marg West. - I f~ I 'J 'Fi liii I~I~ HOLDING DANCE SATURDAY Although the Durham East NDP were edged out ini Thursday's election this bas flot dampened their hopes for a dance being beld in the Newcastle Community Hall this Saturday evening.
