2-Orono Weekly Times, Wedneday, April 24,1985 THERE ARE ISSUES Therý are issues to be considered by flhe voters ini the upcomn ing lection in Ontario and to bc held May 2nd. ln many cases, the poitficians and would-be politicans are skirting around these issues which we would list as education, the environ- ment, job creation and energy. It does ajipear that the PCs are endeavouring to keen the election campaign at a low key with their leader and many of the PC candidates refusing wo debate issues at local candidate meetings. No doubt it is to their advantage in this particular campaign. But this is not to say that there isn'1 skirting around sonie of the issues by both the liberais and NDP as welI. Surely education has to be one of the bigger issues at this time in the province of Ontario with full fundîng by the pro- vince to the separate school systemn. There has been no determination as to the effect to the public school system which alreacly suffers fromi what many say is underfunding. The issue was neyer iscussed in the legisiature and study comes only aftèr the fact. The future of education under the policy to boost further educational fun- ding from the province could be affected adversely for the future. The action to give full fundîng to the Separate School Board came through from the formner Premier as did the purchase of shares in Suncor. The latter was less ihan good judgementand to this date bas not been justified. *The Davis years in education also brought forth a mix match system that has since been denounced and almost replaced. As to the the environmenî, recent events in the handling of PCBs have shown a lack of control of our toxic wastes. There is no handle on municipal waste problems and protection of sensitive areas of the environment still do battle with develop- ment for survival. Very lttle has been tied down in order to preserve this land and its environment for future generations. In the creation of jobs we do have to recognîze goverfiments cati only go so far and incidentally the sanie is true of small business. The opposition parties seem wt believe tbey can be created by.stroke of the pen and the expenditure of another $50 million. There must be demand and this demand mnay wel rest in the hands of wealth redistribution placing money where there is need for affordable housing, health services, clothing and food. In energy the electorate are being left without the knowledge as to the future direction both the province and the federal government will go to recoup revenues lost in the recent Energ-y Accord signed between the feds, the producing pro- vinces and the multinational oîl companries. Event though the Premier of Ontario and thec Prime Minister of Canada has met, there is flot one word as to future direction but it is ap- parent that pump prices do have to go up to meet the cosis of the Accord. These are issues and the, shoui1d be considered by the elec- torate prior to electioni day on May 2nid. Ordinarily you wouldn 't expect a ruew and used book store to be a tourist attraction. But the ighway Book Shop in the Cobalt area is no, ordinary book store. First of ail, it's out in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing but bush country around it.l Is miles from eny urban centre. There are just a few farm houses in the distance. And the only apparent slgns of activity are the cars and trucks on nearby Highway 11 which leads up to the James Bay Frontier. But the Highway Book Shop startles people who stop there. Because it's hugel Although it's way out in the country, it's vast! It rambles on and on. And there are over a quarter of a million books on the shelves! Every time I've visited the big complex there have been several people wandering around looking at, or buying, books. During the summer the big store is visited by an average of 1,000 buyers or browsers a week. In the back part of the building is the publishing side of the business. In terms of tities produced, the Highway Book Shop ranks up there with Ontario's top publishers. The last I heard they'd published over 200 titles, the majority small books about the north country. The man behind this success story is Doug Pollard. In 1957 he and bis wife opened a small printirtg shop on some property they owned beside Highway 11. Later they began to selI books as a sideline. Then people started to ask for more local historical material, and Pollard began printing local pamphlets. Eventually he branched out into publishing northern authors. The wbole thing mushroomed and there are now 12 full time employees. The walls bulge with books. The presses are constaritly printing and reprinting publications. Pollard hirnself is a book addict. A vociferous reacler. Kendal1 News Sunny weývather's very nmec, We'd like il every day, But p)eople shouldn'i pull a \lien ramn is on the way.

And he's been a boon to writers and artists who live in the northland. He's se highly regarded that Nipissing University conferred an honourary Doctor of Letters degree upon him, because of his contribution to culture in the north. V've neyer met Dr. Pollard. He's on the road much of the time buying books, arranging distribution and so forth. I've heard about him, read about him, and seen pictures of him, but locating him has always elucted me. 0f course, l'm always travelling too. A publîsher friend of mine, Ian Rhind, tried for months te arrange a meeting of Doug and myseif. One time we were close, but missed each other by about five minutes. I hope our paths cross someday.

Tbe trip was adventuous. and bazar- dous. At Moose Jaw the surveyors met a party of In- dians who asked themn for medicine for a sick baby. One of the crew gave the mnother a bottle of laudanum, telling bier to give the baby two dropis mixed ih water.
