Thoughts of spring flashed through my mind even though the day was wintry, and robin redbreast looked quite forlorn and out of his element. Everyone enjoys spotting birds, perhaps not with the same intensity as Editor Forrester, To introduce a very young child to the concept of bird watching, Hrriet Ziefert has designed another of her ingenious flap books. In "Finding Robin Redbreast", Kate and her father, equipped with binoculars and a guide book, set off to find a robin. They look behind bushes, amongst the fluttering garments garments on a clothesline, high in a tree, on top of a statue'and behind a shutter. These explorations reveal many birds, such as a nightingale, a purple martin, a goldfinch, blackbirds, turtle doves, and a pigeon. At last, by investigating a nest with three blue eggs, Kate discovers the elusive robin.

Paul Martin addresses liberals at annual meet Paul Martin Jr, a probable candidate candidate to lead the federal liberal party, was the guest speaker at the Durham Liberal Association annual meeting last Thursday evening. Martin said the challenge of today is to continue the debate as to what Canada is to be in the year 2000. He said the debate began in the last federal election when John Turner smoked out the issue of free trade and the future for Canada. He said now that the election is over the debate must continue. . Martin said the key for liberalism for the future will not be found in yesterday solutions. - The speaker said there were four i areas open for debate to enhance Canada of the future. The number one issue, he said, was the environment. "There can be no trade-off for the health of this nation," he said. We have to save this planet from its own waste, he said, and that aim is much better than building nuclear submarines. He said for the past four years Mulroney has been taking his environmental environmental orders from the White House. * Martin said SocÜl problems was a second area of debate. He said social programs should not suffer due to deficit cuts and feared that those under thirty will never be able to enjoy the level of social justice as their parents. He said the disabled want to be part of the society and not hidden away in institutions. He said these people must be able to rejoin rejoin society. Don't cut the deficit on their backs, he said.

He said the Canadian government government must help Canadian companies companies to become more competitive to compete in a more open world market. "We must out-maneuver and out-bid our closest neighbour," he said. Martin said the government must encourage small business which he claimed the majority are being started by women. He claimed that the medium sized companies must also be encouraged to expand outside outside of Canada and Canada must also establish its own multinationals. multinationals. Martin said Canada must develop its own trade agenda that would carry throughout the world. "We must sell tomorrows technology today today to others." The speaker said it was greed that made America work "we don't want it nor need it," he said. "It was not greed that brought us medicare, nor will greed educate our children or give us clean air and water". Martin spoke of the liberal spirit and entrepreneurship with which to build new communities. He said, "the spirit of liberalism is to build one nation".
