2-Orono Weekly Timnes, Wednesday, February 6, 1985 Second Class Mail Regstration Number 000368 Publtshed Every Wednesday at the ofice of Publication Main StrEýet, Orano Roy C. Forrester, Editor Free Enterprise and the Domne At one limie during his term as Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau made a statement tbat Free Enterprise, as a fact, did flot exist. As can be expected this was not well received, by the Bay Street boys and those who expound the greatness oU whai is called free enterprise. The dealing with the Metro Domed Sadium may well be one to give some credence Io the Trudeau state- ment. The free enterprise spirit of such as Labat's, Coca-Cola, Macdonald's and others is ridînig on the back .of taxpayers for the lune of $60 million which is more than a third of the cost of the new stadiumii. The fact that the contributions from the private sector wI have to be supported by preferences, and make no doubt these have to come for an amiount of $5 million, gives these entepreneurs an advantage which is flot open to the general public. They are, in fact, being favoured through taxpayers' monies. If the entepreneurs are so supportive of the free enterprise systemi then there is cause that they should undertake such a money-making scheme as the domed stadium. There is no reasoni they should ride on the back of the taxpayer who faces cut-backs by the province in the very funds the taxpayers provide. Conservatism bas always spoke bravely of free enterprise but on the other hand often scoff at welfare payments for the less fort unate. We would have to con- tend in this case, and in many others, the welfare paymenis, in more than one way, are going to the entepreneurs. 0f course we cali it a forgiveable loan or grant flot welfare. David Lewis certainly made a point whenhe spoke of the corporate welfare bums.

Cold Feet and Warmn Hearts by Janet Saunders (concluded) A letter arrived, bidding my husband report for duty as an army chaplain.
