Foestesr dMe<r Express disappointment Environmentalists both in Canada and inthe Uniterd States are expressîng considerabie disappoint- ment over the lack of progress at the recent ShanTroctk summit in Quebec City toward the fight to cut down on acid rain U.S. President Ronald Reagan had his day with Brian Mulroney, Prime >Minister of Canada, and the issue of acid rain is once more set back for another ycar. The day must corne and it must corne soon to address this problem of pollution both in acid rain and other faucets of our society or it will be too late. The cost of recovery continues to ruount day after day and year after year. In fact a recent article sug- gests that greatest danger may well be frorn world pollution rather than from the weapons of war. Il is interesting to recaîl that Mulroney, only a few weeks ago, in the House of Commons denounced *the position of Canada over the past years in the ad- vancement in correcting the conditions of acid tain in *this country. Canadians were left with the impression that Canada, due to its lack of progrcss, was left in a* poor bargaining position with thie United States in the question of acid rain. There mnay be some truth to this scenario but it is no reason to totally give into the wislies and whimis of the United States. The PCs are using great tact ical srategy one- of which beîng the appointment of Bill Davis as a special envoy to study ways to fight acid ramn and to no doubt correlate the efforts of both counitries. Only time will tell what happens. One mây have taken some hope from thie an- tiouncement at the Regina first mninisters' conference of a $300 million budget to fîght acid tain to be pro- vided by the federal governmient. There was much ado about the announcement and on the surface il does appear to be a real effo rt on the part of the Canadian government to get a handieon acid rain. Unfortuniately the expenditure of this money is dependent on the provinces and private enter- prise- putting up a similar amount and to t his point few, if any provinces or individual enterprises, have taken the bait. The $300 million could well neyer be spent. Reports do havýe it that Ontario, so far, has resisted the bait. The time miust soon corne for someone 10 take soute action. Kendal News Forget It.

The motto given by Mrs. Holland was "Don't judge the country and place by the stories you hear." Mrs. Lam- bier had some very interesting souveniers of Mexico which she passed around.
