On learning that the East Side and Windsor Bumper Companies were recently fined $250 on â€"pleading guilty to the ‘charge of impairing the quality of the Little Rivâ€" . er, which runs into the Detroit River, the Wesâ€" ton Tirtes asked the Oâ€" WRC the length of time taken, the number of staff involved and the cost of collecting evidâ€" ence which led to the eonvictions.

And yet, the irony of the whole sitâ€" uation is that Dr. Shulman has done more to throw public light on quesâ€" tionable and strange deaths than just about any other coroner in Ontario and Mr. Cowan has almost singleâ€" handedly organized and combined the forces which built a hospital and advanced the cause of medicine. When the Forest Hill and Toronto Dufferin Lions members argued that their members had a right to vote for Shulman and Cowan have a gifted knack of making the headlines, much to the delight of the people, but not with the approval of the "Mr. Bigs" who frown on those who dare to quesâ€" tion authority. The most serious question about the election of governors at Northwestâ€" ern‘s annual general meeting howevâ€" er, is whether it was indeed a conâ€" stitutional meeting. Last week Metro Coroner Morton Shulman was given the axe for daring to challenge the Attorney General. This week it was controversial MP Ralph Cowan who got the boot off the board of governors of Northwestâ€" ern General Hospital by the questionâ€" able voting membership.

Since the OWRC réfâ€" uses to reveal its costs of gathering evidence, it can only be surmised that the Commission would‘ hate to admit that the expense involvâ€" ed is at least four to five tlrges as great as the court fine. Indeed, New Jersey $2,165. SALE PRICE The board of hospital governers should therefore declare the vote unâ€" constitutional and hold a legal elecâ€" tion â€" perhaps in a month or two when a list of those qualified to vote has been prepared and certified. three positions up for grabs because of substantial contributions the clubs have made to the hospital, one partiâ€" cipant in the debate asked to see a receipt or proof of at least a $10 minimum donation which gives a perâ€" son the right to vote on who shall serve on the hospital board. In Canada, this is supposed to be the very foundation our country is built on. For municipal elections, a person must provide proof that he is a resident of or owns property in the village, town or city where he intends to vote. . Similar democratic safeguards are written into the constitution of Northâ€" western General, the Weston Times suggests, and since no proof of right to vote was presented during the anâ€" nual general meeting it must be found to be an unconstitutional election and declared null and void. _ On the federal and provincial levâ€" els, voters must likewise give eviâ€" dence as to residency and citizenship. Perhaps then, when all our southern lakes and rivers are swarming with poisonous little red pimply sludge worms, Ontario too will make it a supreme offense to imâ€" pair the quality of waâ€" ter â€" but, don‘t hold your breath. require industries that borrow water from lakes and rivers to réturn it in a better state than the way they found it. \/\V/\V/ 1867 U 1967 QUALITY are ready for planting now!

Dear Sir: school crisis which appeared in your issue of Thursday, April 6. 1 was grateful that your reporter considered my opinion of consequence in this matter. This approval was given in spite of the fact that a petition had been signed by 99 p.c. of the residents on the street proâ€" testing the widening and had been presented to council. This petition was also endorsed by the Cordella ratepayers asâ€" sociation.

Ontario. tariff on iron ore, the Japanâ€" Why Queen‘s Park instead doesn‘t suggest buyingâ€" Onâ€" tario to keep Ontarians working I don‘t know; after all, if buying Canadian creates work for Canadians, just think of all the jobs that would be created if all us provincials bought only in Ontario. Government officials who promote the "buy Canadian" campaign (with our money) will quickly admit that they Another thing the "buy Canadian" slogan forgets to menâ€" tion is that buying foreign helps create jobs too. When a consumer pays Canadian money to buy foreign bananas, oranges or pineapples, he makes work for foreigners who in turn make work for us by buying Canadian machinery, wheat and newsprint. The reason for this is simply that Canadian dollars are only used in Canada, just as British pounds are only good in Britain and German Deutsch marks are only recognized in Germany. * The second point may be easily disposed of for example by suggesting that if Canada does import more per capita than any other nation in the world, it must also export more per capita than any other country. And, if you check the governiment trade figures, you will find that this is in fact the case. I would suggest that one of the main reasons we presentâ€" ly conduct trade on this basis is that it is economi&cally the most efficient system we have yet devised to maximize the production of wealth. â€"" ~ erment, we cdn create 50,000 new jobs for unemployed minâ€" ers. If the Japanese system of government is anything like ours, or the government in the U.S., the promoters will of course tempt their governâ€" ment by offering (a little financial belp during the next election. Last year, the Ontario government spent $300,000 advising everyone in the Province to "buy Canadjan". Euon e omeiet we sell jron ore to Japan for instance and~in return buy hydro generators and motorcycles. WB ons 1 C n aidines Since Japan can build these products at a much cheaper price than us and since we can dig up iron ore at a lesser costs than Japan, it takes only a 10â€"yearâ€"old to point out the obvious benefits to both countries. The boy would further point out that to restrict this trade, would mean a higher cost of living and higher prices both here and there. If you are with me so far, there remains but one question to answer, that is to attempt to explain why, the myths we have just discussed, have perpetuated themselves so long. In Canada we have manufacturers who would like to step into the motorcycle industry, just as Japan has industrialists who would like to make some money in a mining venture. Both of these groups are protectionists at heart and would like to erect trade barriers against the other country‘s proâ€" ducts so that they themselves could produce without comâ€" petition and thereby fatten their profit. The greatest of all erroneous beliefs however is that Caâ€" nada is still a hewer of wood and drawer of water since we export a great amount of raw materials and import a large quantity of finished products. _ _ The situation is identical in Canada.
