2-Oreno Weekly Times. Wedntesday. Noveniber 27, 1985 Should have taken the survey fi Orono In a recent report of a province-Nwde study statistics reveal that under twenty-five percent of new businesses starting Up in Ontario were started by women. As a result of the study and a desire to change this fact the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology along with the Ministry of Women's Issues have announced the Business Ownership for Women program. Ail we would like to say in this matter is that Orono does flot hold true to the rest of the province pro-, viding their stats are correct. With one exception its has been a long time since a man started up a business in Orono. That is truly not the case for the womcn and surely women entering business in Orono is well above the provincial average by far. It goes without saying the women of Orono are too be congratulated. Where was the leadership In viewing and reading happenings at the recent Ontario Conservative leadership convention we werc lead to believe we had lost competent leadership in the affairs of this province and only the return of the Con- servatives to Queen's Park would restore the leadership we deserve. If one talks about leadership and competence very littie came out from any of the contenders as to separate school funding and in fact Grossman shied away from the issue entirely. Let's not forget it was a decree from former leader and Premier Bill Davis and this issue is one of the big issues today. -A recent auditors report pins the Mînistry of Natural Resources with waste of up to some $154 million in 1984 and this Ministry was headcd by Allan Pope. The forestry industry is a most important in- dustry in this province as to the need of jobs, jobs, jobs and such waste in regeneration shows a lack of comn- petence and leadership. Take a look at the envirofiment where the Spilîs Bill rested on the Tory shelf for a number of years with no interest in progressing in this area. The blob, still of unknown quantity, in the St. Clair River did flot appear over night and this could well, with aIl other pollutants seeping into the Great Lakes system cause threat to life in the major areas of the Province. It is an important issue and possibly almost at the crucial point. Surely the goverriments of the past have dragged their feet as to wastc management especi ally of dangerous chemicals and where has the solution been -its flot something that can't be solved and must be solv- ed. The later the more costly. Extra billing by doctors and the loss of $50 million a year in federal grants. This loss must have been a drop in the bucket or considered so by the former government. The question also arises as to free access for ail to ail medical aids and services through extra bill- ing. We do question the rhetoric of the polit ican as he refers to the "good old days".

Ils language was confused and is Iayout was devoid of logic. The sensation 1 had was of trying to swim in a vat of molasses. Lord knows whether l'Il get my license renewed or not, although 1 have no doubt that my cheque wiII be cashed. 1 know 1 arn not in thîs struggle against complex, arn- biguaus, illogical and uncommunicative messages f rom aur various governments. Some of us go on believing thal the purpose of communication is ta inform peo- ple, nt ta satisfy the sender's computers. The Law Re- form Commission of Canada is now waging a gentie war with the federal governmenî for the use of plain English in ils dealing with the public. The British and the Australiens started earlier and have gone farther. One of the things that annays me about forms like the one 1 described earlier, is that it puts the burden of communication on us, nat on the civil servants, who sent ilta us. Although they may flot realize il, that is arrogant. One of the kindred spirits in the Law Reform Com- mission, sent me, a quotation by Sir Ernest Gawers whose -Camplete Plain Language" is the foundation of the British campaign. His advice ta the civil-service is as follows: "It is flot easy nawadays ta remember that cantrary ta ail appearances, officiais are the ser- vants of the public. The officiaI must nal try to foster the illusion that it is the other way araund. Your style must nat only be simple, but friendly and natural, ap- propriate ta one who is a servant, flot a master".* ln ils booklet "Plain English', Her Majesty's Govern- ment begs ten mrinutes of her civil servants' lime. "That's a small cost ta a professional writer like you', the booklet notes. "Professional, becausq, you proba- bly spend a fifth of, vour working day wrîling - and even more time reading what other civil servants write". It might have added, in the case of Ihose who write forms, "pofessional, because you have more than 99 percent ofr the prof essional wrilers in the country" How many peaple are going ta have ta wrestle with that Ontario license faorm? A lot mare than wvatch the Global newscasî. And perhaps 200 limes as many as wiIl read any book 1 Write.
