Telephone 623-5520 Peter Worthington Speaks at PC Nomination Meeting Sixteen years of Trudeau government government has seriously eroded the freedom freedom of Canadians, members of the Durham Northumberland Progressive Progressive Conservative riding association association were told last week. In a speech at Clarke High School, Peter Worthington claimed that the world's greatest issue is not peace but the preservation of freedom. freedom. Mr. Worthington, former editor of the Toronto Sun and winner of four national newspaper awards, was the guest speaker at a nomination meeting held to select Allan Lawrence Lawrence as the candidate in the upcoming upcoming election. Mr. Worthington is a Progressive Conservative candidate in the Broadview Greenwood riding. "You get peace by surrendering, you get peace by dying," he told the audience at Clarke High School auditorium auditorium Wednesday; July 25. "But most of us are not after the peace of the slave or the peace of the grave." "Peace without freedom is nothing," nothing," he said. The guest speaker said peace and freedom cannot be achieved by anything anything resembling uni-lateral disarmament. disarmament. That philosophy led to World War Two. And in describing the Soviet Union as our greatest threat to peace and stability, Mr. Worthington Worthington prescribed only one course of action. "The Soviet Union is basically a bully nation and there's only one way to deal with a bully. All you can do is stand up to him." While the American goal is tranquility tranquility and prosperity, the Soviet objective was described as one of power and domination. "There are no refugees in the Soviet Union. The barbed wire and mine fields are to keep people in, not to keep people out." A frequent opponent of the Liberal Liberal government, Mr. Worthington pressed his attack last week by calling calling the current leadership as a democratic dictatorship. Deceitful, incompetent, divisive, and dangerous dangerous were just a few of the words he used to describe it. "Freedom in Canada is threatened and has been threatened for the past 16 years," he said. He cited the Emergency Planning Act of 1981 as one example of how our freedom is eroded. This legislation legislation was passed by an order-incouncil order-incouncil and it allows the government government to take over every sector of the economy in a crisis proclaimed by the government. The Official Secrets Act was listed as another tool used to muzzle muzzle critics of the government in recent recent years. Mr. Worthington stated that Canada's Canada's policy of quiet diplomacy works only among friends and not among belligerent nations. And he claimed that our foreign aid dollars are spent mainly in socialist tyrannies tyrannies of the Third World. The guest speaker, who ran as an independent in the latest federal election, mentioned his own role in the Conservative Party briefly. "I still feel I'm mixing my roles as a journalist and as a would-be politician," politician," he confessed at the beginning beginning of his remarks. He closed his speech by momentarily momentarily mentioning the need for some changes in his own party, adding that pragmatism should not become a guiding policy. "There should be room in the Conservative Party for a few conservatives," conservatives," Mr. Worthington said. r Byline... It must be difficult to be an economist. That's because it seems that every event in the economy economy can be interpret- ted in two opposite ways. To give you an example example of what I'm talking about, let's consider the Middle East oil situation. situation. I would have assumed assumed that with all the oil tankers being attacked attacked in the vicinity of Iran and Iraq we'd be faced with a shortage of this vital natural resource. resource. Then, the laws of supply and demand would produce a price increase for petroleum products. Instead, a report report last week claimed that the world is awash in oil (figuratively speaking). The price may drop. That's because Mid- East countries thought there would be a problem problem in oil supply and increased increased their production production to make up for that problem. Now it turns they have too much of the stuff. ' Elsewhere, in financial financial pages of a major newspaper, I read that the Canadian dollar is staging a modest comeback. comeback. You'd think that would have investors dancing in the streets, but the Toronto Stock Exchange responded by dropping 10 points. I'm not going to read the business pages any more than I have to. In fact, I've developed my own system for deciding deciding how the economy is performing. Since this is an automotive automotive manufacturing manufacturing area, I think we can judge the local economic welfare simply simply by the number of new cars in existence. Specifically, one can take a certain brand of car and use it as an economic barometer. Take the Camaro, foi- instance. It's somewhat of a luxury item, but not beyond the means of anyone who intends to save money wisely and make a few sacrifices. It has a wide appeal because because young people buy them for their style and speed. Old people can buy them to project a youthful image. And those who are in between between old age and youth might buy such a car for reasons somewhere somewhere in between the two possibilities mentioned mentioned above. Finally, the new Cam aro, with its sleek lines, is easily identified among all the other identical and sensible - looking metal boxes which are also on the highway these days. So, to find out the prosperity of a particular particular area,just count the Camaros, or their cousins, the Firebirds. Compare the number of them per square mile with the national average average and you have a pretty good measuring stick for the local economy. economy. To see whether economic prospects are improving or declining, just count the number of new Camaros in service service between one year and the next. I call this the "Camaro "Camaro index". And I'm sure some sharp-eyed student of economics or sociology will pick up the idea and write a major academic paper on the topic. Certainly, there are economic forecasting methods which have been less accurate than this one. k Pitch-ln and \ Keep J Canada * Beautiful ^M|aMi DON FREW & SONS LTD.

The contest was part of regular public swimming activities at the pool on Tuesday, July 24. Letter to The Editor July 26,1984 The Canadian Statesman, King St. W., Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Mr. Editor: With much disappointment and surprise I read in the Statesman July 25 that the Council had turned down an offer from the "Jaycees" to make a Park-area on King St. East, opposite the Bowmanville Bowmanville Zoo. Since Bowmanville has no other Park or Rest Area for visitors or others travelling east or west along the No. 2 Hwy., this would be a most welcome attraction to the town, and one that is sorely needed. Surely to discourage this local Service Club, who Undoubtedly Undoubtedly are acting in good faith, and have been working on plans to fulfill this need for some time, they deserve some encouragement and thanks from all of us. You don't look a gift horse in the mouth. To shelve this matter for another year when a start could be made to provide for the public needs now, seems rather out of line for a town of our size, and with a reputation for hospitality.
