2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 3,1962 V, SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey Celebrate 55th Wedding Anniversary Weather has indeed taken a back seat as the current number one subject of conversation. It's difficult to decide which of the two topical items - economy or municipal election - is now receiving the severest gum beating. Any group of two or more people in an given situation provides the forum for chewing the rag about any number of hot local issues or world woes. A long line-up in the bank one day this week gave me the chance to become engrossed in a conversation with two gentlemen which started with the economy but ended up focusing on the upcoming election. It was sort of a rambling dissertation in which one of the men began by praising the good old days when a person was paid for an honest day's work and life was simple. The other gentleman, also disgruntled with the present state of affairs everywhere, said he didn't favor a return to those so called "good old days." s, Vividly recalling the depression and hard times, he talked of the rampant job insecurity which existed then without benefit of a government welfare cushion. A job then, he recounted, meant the difference between eating and not eating. Young people today, injected the other gentleman, don't know what hardship is all about. But, if the economy keeps rolling downhill like it is they may soon get a taste of it, he added. The three of us, who had now become cloistered in deep conversation, agreed it's quite likely that Canadians haven't seen anything yet in terms of a declining economy. And I have serious reservations about the long range effectiveness of the federal government's recently announced $500 million job creation scheme to deliver 60,000 jobs across the country next year. As the discussion about recession and unemployment deteriorated word by word, we shifted into municipal election. One of the men said he believes elected officials are grossly overpaid. "Time was," he said, "when a man served the community for a mere pittance because he was working for its betterment." "All they want now," chimed in the other gentleman, "is the dollars that go with the job." One of them thought every recognizable name on the ballots should be ignored while the other voiced a concern about the remaining alternatives. After'ten minutes of discussion, it was apparent we had solved not a single issue. It's no longer a simple life and unless a complete restructuring of civilization as we know it today occurs, it's unlikely that simplicity will ever prevail again. Indeed, it's a weird world in which even a traditional Hallowe'en has been affected. The tykes that usually come trick-or-treating in our neighborhood were reduced by 75 per cent this year and I understand this figure is close to the national average. What has our society come to when parents fear their youngsters might be given Hallowe'en goodies containing razor blades, pins or the latest maniac craze - cyanide filled treats. Of late it's an unsettling, bad news world. Keeping abreast of the international scene is an exercise that leaves me both astonished and depressed. In the United States we have demented individuals lacing eye drops and mouth wash with caustic chemicals. And let us not forget the Tylenol tablets loaded with cyanide. Over the weekend in Australia a minister's wife was sentenced to life in prison for murdering her young child by slitting the tot's throat. The woman claimed the child was killed by a wild dingo dog. Just below the border a woman is on trial accused of scalding her two young children to death. In the same county a young man was convicted of shooting two of his high school classmates to death. Do you suppose that somewhere from outer space aliens have launched a chemical warfare upon earth that's affecting the quality of life here. It has to be something in the air, otherwise, how could we possibly justify today's ludicrous trends.

An advertisement in this issue outlines some of the products available and other details. Local merchants, interested in helping third world countries, countries, are encouraged to contact the Outreach Committee Committee if they would like to help by having some of their products on their shelves. Call Marion Sim 623-1254 or Dorothy Boden 623-4964 for further information. information. Bridgehead Trading imports items such as coffee, tea, etc. from farmer cooperatives cooperatives in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Nicaragua.

The agreement on this matter was approved by Durham's régional council last Wednesday. The waste heat from Darlington comes in the form of warm water which is given off in large quantities. This water could havè a potential ' use for treating industrial areas which may locate near the Darlington project. Councillor Bruce Taylor said at last week's hydro committee meeting that he felt the actions taken to use the waste heat were valuable, and he supported thti development of a prospectus to promote the town. "I see this as being a very positive move for the municipality," the councillor said.
