Orono, Ontario Things About Fal I saw a ruffled leaf. 1 saw a bumpy mustard leaf. 1 saw a ketchup leaf with a bit of-mustard. Leaves make me itchy. 1 heard a child's footstep in the gravel. 1 heard somneone hammering and sawing. 1 heard a child's footstep in the leaves. 1 do not like these noisy things. 1 smelled the fresh air. 1 smelled the pine tree. I smelled the sap on a tree. Smelling is nice. Loretta Deriet, Gr. 3 Making Butter We were miaking butter on october 2th atý school. We Maybe it bas something to do with the Canadian psyche - an inherent belief that some- thing awful is bound to t'latten US.1 Maybe its nothing more than an, unusuall,. harsh lu sending chilis down our collec- tive spine. Or maybe it's simply im- p ossible fo look on the .worid with good cheer when the post office is crumbling before our eyes. Whatever the reatson, there's no ignoring the shock which bas overwhelmed the Cana- dian public as the dollar plum- met s ta one low after another. The stafe of the Canadian dol- lar bas become a national Cal- varyI, our own version of the Bay of Pigs, the skeleton in our closet exposedl for the world f0 see and jeer. The only thing wrong with the sackcloth-and-ashes rou- tine is that it's so absurdly, un- necessary. Canada may have seen better economic times but worse crises have been weathered comfortably as well. The dollar may have de- clined but if cerfainly isn't down for the counit. 1According fo fhe tbeory of international trade, a nation's currency sldes when the coun- try's economic structure sags. This is generally interpreted fo mean that decline in a curren- cy is irrefutible evidence that the nation is in trouble on a global scale. According to international trade theory, therefore, wNe're in big trouble. Our dollar went down faster than the Titanic. The last ie a currency was battered this badly, financiers were jumping from windowý ledges. But the theory of interna- tional trade ignores.one of the Most important elements that had to shake it and shake it and while we were shaking it we had to sing a magic song, and this is how it goes: Corne, butter, corne! Come, butter, corne! Willîe's waitîng at the gate, Waiting for his butter cake Corne, butter, come!

The spe- cu lat ors are gamblers but you won't find tbem at the $2 win- dow ai your local race track; the big-time speculators con- frol billions of dollars (many of tbemn pefrodollars today) that tbey bicycle from one cur- rency fa anotber. If they de- cide to selI their holdings of dollars, the value of the dollar falîs. If tbey decide f0 buy dol- lars, the value of the dollar goes up. It's not mfuch differ- eut from the price of bouses: the more bouses there are for sale, the lower the price o f eacb tends to go. These speculators have been ganging up on Canadi, forcing the dollar fo dramatic lows. lu part, they are acting ouf of distrust of Canada's economic management. More and more, however,_ they are following a pack mentality which goes beyond any in- depth analysis of our economy. Eventually - today, tomor- row or next montb - the spe- culators will decide fo buy the Canadian dollar again. The dollar will rise and our eco- nomy will be recognized as healtby once more. The -im- provement will be due only in part to changes in our econo- mic structure. More fo the point, the value of the dollar is of relatively little real concern. When the dollar fails, exporters are help- ed, importers are burt, the na- tional balance of trade im- proves and more jobs and small businesses are created. There's no need for pessimism -just understanding. -Think smalt" s an editorial ,message tram the canadian Federat ion of tndependenf Businessc News IThjflksmall' IbyJim Smnith I What's a Dollar Worth?
