i U/L " % / AIT ll Orjawa HEARS /1) EXPECTED Prime Minister Trudeau says he favors more immigration. With unemployment at such a high level, (700,000 unemployed...a national disgrace), lower-priced housing at 'a premium,I sometimes cannot understand his cavalier remarks. When crewman complained to him in B.C. that he joined the navy to travel, Trudeau retorted, 'If you want to go to Japan, buy a plane ticket." Is it any wonder the morale in the armed forces is bad? Trudeau ran off to the States in the last war 50 he wouldn't have to serve; rather than hide in the hills of Quebec like so many other Quebecoise. Trudeau told the United Nations conference on Human Settlement "all you need is love", while 60 per cent of the world 's children die from undrinkable water. Canada has more fresh water than the rest of the entire world. The Great Lakes has an unbelievable 95,000 square miles of water, an area the size of . Britain. We run millions of gallons of water daily into * the Pacific Ocean while refusing to sell even a small portion (one-eighth) of it to our thirsty American friends of the West coast. We could be water, a renewable source to the world's thirsty. In one breath the P.M. says most of our inflation is "imported" and we can-do little about it. Now he says that 50 per cent of all our goods are exported...the reason for our high unemployment. He's right about one thing..."The richest people beef the most...the worst bitchers are the bankers." I predict that "the man", peanut farmer Jimmy Carter will be the next U.S. President. I still say that no one should be in any high office unless they have worked the land, lived through a depression, or have been poor. Carter has charged that there are too many lawyers in politics. HE'S RIGHT! The whole Watergate affair from President Nixon down was filled with lawyers, all trying to cover up for each other. Maybe Carter will be another great President like the little haerdseer from , Missouri, * give 'em hell" Harry Truman, 1feel greatly privileged "to have corresponded with President Truman and have a personally autographed photo among my Eollection of Us. Presidents and Canadian Prime Ministers The word around the street downtown is that the anavy JO LIVE ON BABY BONUS CHEQUES J Liquor Store is moving to the Morrow Farm Equip- , ment Building behind its present location and the Royal Bank is moving to the present LCBO premises. Howard Hall's new building is taking shape...a facelift for the downtown (with no help from the Port Perry banks). The air traffic controllers are right in their position against bilingualism in the air. The world-wide use of English, even in Moscow or Peking, is the established language of pilots the world over. As a pilot myself, for over 20 years, and with three years of school French, I would not ever attempt to speak the language while flying. It's confusing and downright dangerous, for other pilots who cannot understand it clearly when you have to make split-second decisions. Transport Minister Lang says that bilingualism is going ahead in Quebec air space regardless of what the pilots want. * Should there be a mid-air collision, Lang should be held fully accountable. 1.A.C.0. language is English world-wide. Our sly Prime Minister has relieved French-speaking Jean Marchand from the Transport office and replaced him with an English-speaking Minister to carry vut his plan. "I SHALL NOT REST UNTIL THIS COUNTRY IS IRREVERSIBLY BILIN- GUAL"...Trudeau. geese Ontario Hydro wants another INCREASE next year...this one a whopping 34 PER CENT. You are paying for future use often by others. " A recent report says 1 million U.S. school children are being tranquilized with dangerous drugs. Drugs commonly used include Ritalin, Dexedrine and Cylert. These are extremely hazardous, says prominent Chicago physician Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn. Besides the danger of addiction, he said, "side effects include heart palpitations, headaches and stomach pains. And there are suspicions that these drugs can retard a child's growth, affect his vascular system and endanger his life. "The children are taking these drugs to soothe conditions variously diagnosed as hyperkinesis, minimal brain dysfunction, and learning disability," explained Dr. Mendelsohn; former assistant tothe - director of Michael Reese Hospital, and an associate professor of preventive medicine at the University of Illinois School of Medicine. "These youngsters;'t he continued, "are often drugged because teachers and pediatricians feel it will make the children easier to manage." '"To me, this sounds incredibly like '1984'...and 1 would caution any parent against putting his child on a .behavior-altering drug." Other physicians agree. Is it any wonder many of these children are hyperactive with all the junk food they devour? Instead of sugar and fat-loaded food they should be eating a balanced diet supplemented by natures own tranquilizer... DOLOMITE,.. (calcium in a two to one ratio with magnesium) plus P omnples vitamins. Good neighbours | Just about when you're ready to give up on Human Race '76; when you're tired of hearing about back-stabbing, opportunism, family break-down, violence and mass public indifference; or when you're fed up with fan's inhumanity to man, something comes along to revive The Faith like the heal tening community spirit displayed by the neighbours of Keit Ashton. 'When lightning smashed like a bomb into Mr. Ashtor's barn, neighbours gathered at his: Epsom- area farm to help out. Not only did neighbours help him get animals out of the buming barn, but when the drudgery of clean-up and repair followed, neighbours were there to lend a helping hand. Like in an old:time barnraising bee, neighbours spent most of the day following the blaze cleaning up .the remaining barn building, scrounging equipment lost in the fire. On the day following the fire, the Reach township obi airy farmer was back in business. x ° New magazine Good luck to the publishers of Canadian Children's 'Magazine, a new publication printed quarterly in Victoria B.C. The .magazine should find a receptive audience among Canadian children between the ages of 5 and 12. The magazine's stated aim is to provide a bridge to the past, between generations, and cultures with features such as 'Museums,' 'My Grand- parents," and "Pgople." The magazine's publishers also claim to provide an alternative to the stereotyped image children see in ads and on television, and attempt to show youngsters what makes them special as Canadians. Again, good luck. It's what we need. Pr Smart or dishonest? A small boy stood before a candy counter." His eyes were wide, the goodies so tempting. He had to have one. A quick look around and into his packet went a handful. A story so old that it hardly bears vata, What kid hasn't been tempted and given into the temptation, only to suffer the pangs of conscience all night long to the point where the candy became tasteless. But. there's more as we were told one Sunday recently by a pastor who was witness to the whole thing. Mom was standing with her back to the kid. She turned just as the dreadful deed was done. Her reaction? "For heaven's sake, Johnny, don't do that, a policeman might see you." ' Perhaps' more, than anything that Illustrates the morality -- or la EA of it -- that threatens the very fibre of our society. Don't do anything dishonest unless you're sure you can get away with it. The disease comes in many names -- new morality, situational ethics, passivity, tolerance -- but its face is the same. Dishonesty is okay as long as you don't get caught. So how does Johnny learn? He only learns to watch for police more closely and his conscience will cease to prick him. After all Dad pads the expense account, Mom brings home towels from the hotel, the other kids' Theat at school and everyone thinks they're so smart. Politicians condone everything but an open revel- ation of their actions. Athletes place winning ahead of all else. Anyone who disagrees is dismissed as an old- fashioned square, a common scold. BE bediancy Is the order of the day. The moral fibre of a nation depends on 'honesty, integrity and the ability to distinguish between right and wrong whether we get caught or not. And integrity begins in the home.
