I guess that depends on what is meant by efficiency, a word which is on everyone's lips today. Efficiency used to¥mean that a worker, using new machinery, could turn out four times as many widgets as he had been able to in the past. this efficiency meant that everyone could now afford a widget, while the worker earned a living wage in a five day, 40 hour week.

All this has changed. Efficiency now means production at The lowest possible cost per widget. To this gnd, we have adopted first the continental work week in which Saturdays and Sundays are worked just as are any of the other five days. To this has been added the 12 hour shift. These developments have spelled the end of any social life for the working class. In fact, with most wives now obliged to work outside the home in order to maintain an adequate family income, it has pretty well spelled the end of the last vestige of family life.

This of course, is the scenario if her husband is on the day shift. If he is on the night shift, she gets to kiss him goodbye as she arrives home from work. My daughter is still ostensibly on the five day work week, but is subject to recall on Saturday or Sunday to expedite the departure of a shipment now ready at the factory: Fortunately, my daughter's family is now grown, thus avoiding the astronomically difficult task of arranging baby sitting for such erratic schedules. Lishman from page 12 negative impact on livestock, loss of privacy and safety concerns were presented to Township Council. I was overwhelmed with the realization that the Lishman Proposal controversy is analogous to that of the Pickering Airport Proposal of the late 1960's, albeit on a smaller scale. The"People Versus Planes" protest encompassed similar concerns , including: quality of life vs. the wants of industry, the loss of prime agricultural lands and the devastatingly negative impact oh community, Is the above a desirable lifestyle, or is it responible for broken families and the dramatic. rise in juvenile delinquency and crime? Where do police return a juvenile found wandering the streets late at night? To an empty house? Who is responsible, is it the parents? Or is it the ultra- efficient production of widgets? Is this the way we wish to go? If it is not, then it is up to some government with enough backbone to put the production of widgets into its proper place in the new world order. Henry Carrique RR 1, Victoria Harbour project environment and wildlife. Imagine my astonishment when I discovered through the reading of a 1990 Equinox magazine article entitled "Father Goose", that Bill and Paula Lishman protested vigorously the Pickering Airport Proposal in order to preserve their 1858 converted schoolhouse in the Pickering area.
