Forrester, Editor , RACIAL ARROGANCE REVEALED IN CORPORATE MARKETING POLICIES Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's much-heralded North- South summit conference is a good start at tackling some of the inequities of this imperfect world. Unfortunately, its civilized and diplomatic discussions about monetary polities and development assistance will miss the point. What the esteemed gentlemen should be discussing --should, in fact, be exploding with rage about-is the prevalent attitude of the rich, industralized, mainly white, northern northern nations that those who are poor, unsophicated, uneducated, or who have skins of another color-in Other words, the southern nations-are not really human. The racial arrogance is most clearly revealed in corporate marketing policies. By now, most people have heard about Nestles, boycotted for allegedly treating the teeming billions of the Third World as a bottomless pit of potential purchasers of baby formula. By its vigorous promotion of bottle feeding, in areas where there is no pure water to mix with the formula, the critics charge, Nestle contributes to millions of unnecessary infant deaths. But Nestle sins pale beside those of some others. Tobacco too rich in tars and nicotines and other carcinogens to be sold in North "American isstill being grown. But it is being being sold in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, where there are no restrictive regulations to protect the populace. Pesticides that have been outlawed' itt Canada and the United States are actively promoted for sale in Latin America. Only now is the evidence showing up that, of 550 million pounds of pesticides exported by the U.S. in just one year, 70 perepnt could not have been legally used within the U.S. itself. A study found that the blood of people in Guatemala and Nicaragua contained 30 times morel DDT than the U.S. average. 1 Worse yet, a company specializing in the disposal of toxic industrial wastes, Nedlog Technology Group Incorporated, admitted that it had approached the governments of Sierra Leone, Chile, and half a dozen other impoverished countries, with a $25 million, offer, to dump in those countries the poisons that are too dangerous to keep in North American. As yet, there are no laws in the U.S. or Canada to prevent such actions. The inference is clear-the people of the Third World don't matter as much âs we do. We deserve protection. They are simply a market, a means of making profit. An uneasy question remains. Do we matter either? Or, freed from government intervention, would the profit-makers see us too as just a market for the products? ESTATE PARKETTE REPORT READY Count- Hamre was told on Monday at the planning and development meeting that the planning staff had completed the Orono Estates Parkette report and that it would be before thé July 20th meeting of the committee. The parkette, had some years ago been planned for lot 21 in the subdivision which is used as a walkway into the Village of Oronq. As to other lands in public ownership in the subdivision Don Smith stated that he has been in contact with the Ganaraska Conservation Authority on a number of occasions asking if they had an interest in the lands. He said he hoped for a reply from the Authority in the near future. Orono U.C.W. (continued from page 1) seven years ago. The buildings are called houses with six persons in each. Each person has a room. There is also a common room with TV etc - also a workshop, activity centre, and various programs are carried out. It would cost $65. per person per day to live in an apartment - whereas the cost in a building of this sort would be about $41. per person daily. With Carol Yeo operating the projector, a film was seen, showing programs being being carried out at three Participation Participation Houses - in Markham, Renfrew, and Hamilton. Disabled persons were interviewed and despite their handicaps and in wheelchairs - eafch had individual individual talents - music, mouth typing, working with garden flowers, song writing. All have ambition and wish ' -to participate in activities.. One must not look at the 1 disability - rather look for the ability. On a recording, Wayne (a cerebal palsy victim) victim) told his story. At the age of four, he was abandoned by his parents, and was raised by an elderly grandmother. He wrote about 150 songs, mostly mostly country and western, which are sung by various ar- itisfs. Mrs. C. Baird extended thanks to Mrs. Campbell for enlightening, yet disturbing "everyone to the need for a centre for disabled adults in this area. Ladies of Unit 2 served a delicious lunch. Kendal News A dry May and a drippy June, Makes the farmer whistle a merry tune. We had a dry May but we are certainly getting a drippy June which is what is needed for our gardens. The tomatoes and potatoes look pretty nice. They need occasional occasional dusting as well as the asters and roses. Supday morning was Father's Day. We were glad to have visitors to worship with us. Mr. & Mrs, George Handy of Brantford friends of Mr. & Mrs. K. Soper. The scripture reading was first Samuel 14 v 1-15. Rev. A. Tizzard chose as his sermon topic "Don't tell Dad". In Samuel 14 v 1 "But he told not his father". Jonathan told not his father King Saul. There comes a time in every life when we must make a decision on our own. Sometimes this decision may be a wise one, sometimes unwise. The Prodigal Son wanted his father to divide the property that he had worked so hard to accumulate. accumulate. Then he went off into a far country. There he did many things that he was ashamed to tell his father. He said "I have sinned and am no more worthy to be called thy son make me as one of the hired servants." Parents often can't accept the friends of their sons. Sometimes we can't accept what tl?e young folks do. Perhaps the best we can do is send the young folks out with our faith and our blessing. The Bible says of Saul and Jonathan "They were together in life and not divided divided in death". So fathers advise their sons .but we all must trust the younger generation to carry on. Rev. Tizzard summed up his message with this poem: Johnathan reached his manhood, And freedom some he had. The decision was for him to make He would not ask his Dad. The Philistines fell before him, Dead upon the plain He put them on the run that day They didn't come back again. He won a noble victory to E.O.B.E. league standings (as of Sunday June 21, 1981) •Kingston: W-9, L-2, PCT-.818, GBL-0; Oshawa: W-7, L-2, PCT-.778, GBL-1; Kendal: W-9, L-4, PCT-.692, GBL-1; Belleville: W-4, L-3, PCT-.571, GBL-3; Port Hope: W-6, L-6, PCT-.500, GBL-316; Peterborough: W-5, L-5, PCT-.500, GLB-3'A; Cobourg: W-4, L-4, PCT-.500, GBL-3 'A ; Newcastle:- W-5, L-5, Given himself a name From what he did all on his own He never felt ashamed.

One of the convenors for Education and Cultural Activities, Activities, ■ Mrs. G. , Cathcart, gave as her roll call "What do you remember or have you heard someone tell about the Depression?" The answers were most interesting. interesting. One remembered that her teachers salary was $50.00 a month and board had to be paid out of that. Another said as a child she went out of the door and horrible horrible caterpillars fell off the roof onto her head and dress. They were living on the prairie and their father had to light fires around his stack and barns to keep the army worm from destroying the PCT-.444, GBL-4; Ajax: \V-5, L-7, PCT-.417, GBL-4'A; Bowmanville: W-4, L-6, PCT-.400, GBL-4'A; Whitby: W-3, L-6, PCT-.333, GBL-5; Little Britain: Britain: W-l, L-ll, PCT-.083, GBL-8A.

The motto was . "Keep right on to the end of. the road". The topic: Ten Lost Years . 1929-1939 Barry Broadfoot asked high school students what they had heard about the depression. They said it was a time when nobody had any money not even the government. government. Their parent had told them a little. It wasn't in their history books. So this reporter for the Vancouver' ' Sun took nine months off, and travelled across Canada full time interviewing hundreds hundreds of people in all walks of life. He took down their stories on a tape recorder. Then in 1975 he published his book entitled Ten Lost Years 1929-1939. The Depression affected every man, woman and child in Canada and its effects are still felt. First we had the story of a lad walking two hundred miles to Saskatoon to find a job. Then we had the account given by a doctors daughter of the food brought in in November by his patients because they had no money. There were jems of fruits, vegetables, canned corn, canned canned chicken, hams, sides of beef, everything you could think of. They kept frozen all winter. The doctor's family lived well and even gave a lot away. This was followed by an account of a girl who worked free for two lawyers till eventually she was taken on the staff in Edmonton. Then a Mrs. Collins felt sorry for the hobo's that rbde the freights. So in her garage just outside the city limits of Win- - ; rjipeg, she made porridge. She soaked dried peas and beans the,night before. Into a, great iron kettle she put them and oatmeal and raisins making making porridge often for as many as sixty men. Another drifter received two dollars in a letter from his mother. When returning to the Hobo jungle near Calgary, he saw a sign "Eggs for sale". He said he'd take 15 cents worth. They brought him out four dozen eggs. Then he, purchased five loaves of bread, two pounds of butter, onions and swiss chard all for fifty cents. 1 took it all to the Hobo jungle and made a giant omelette.
