by BM bmiley
The Seaforth Concrete
Products plant in Harpurhey has
been purchased by Fletcher Tile
Ltd. -of Fletcher, Ontario and
again is in operation.
It will operate under the name
Seaforth Tile as a subsidiary of
Fletcher Tile Lt d.
The firm specializes in the
manufacture of concrete and clay
drainage tile in all popular sizes.
Robert Cook, 'who heads the
company is a native of London
and has been ' involved in the
drainage business since 1953. His
company operates two plants 'in
Fletcher and ships tile across
Ontario. An increasing number of
orders for tile from Huron• and
Bruce and particularly in the,
Douglas Point area prompted the
decision to locate manufacturing
facilities nearer the market, Mr.
Cook said. Demand for field and
drainage tile is moving north as
land becomes more valuable and
is farmed more intensively, he
said.
Whiler_SeaforthTile 'already is
filling Orders at the same time
intensive changes are underway
at the plant that will result in a
substantial increase in production
capacity.
Mr. Cook said a new weigh
batch installation will be of a size
to serve four new production
machines. As soon as the •present
construction program is
completed Mr. Cook said
installation ' of concrete brick
manufacturing facilities would be
considered..
Manager of the Seaforth plant
is Mike Stevens who comes here
from London.
Seaforth Concrete Products
was establilshed about 25 years
ago by the late Peter Christianson
and manufactured concrete
sanitary sewer tiles, Following
Mr. Christiansons death there
were several owners until two
years ago when the plant closed
operations.

As regular readers of this column are
aware, there are a great many things that
bother ine. On the whole, I'm glad of it.
May I never beconle one of those people
who are never bothered about anything, or
if they are, don't have enough guts to say
or do anything about it.
The list is endless: Celsius
temperatures; those silly organs at -hockey
games; strident Women's Libbers; stupid
male chauvinists; gutless politicians,
lawless unions; greedy big business;
chicken bureaucrats; tire-squealing
adolescents of any age; mindless beer ads;
town engineers` who want to cut down
trees; snotty hotel desk clerks; religious
fanatics; ripoff artists in the social services;
the Receiver-General of Canada; most
administrators; most people who' make
more money thanl do. I could fill a column.
This should make me a very disturbed
young man. I use the term advisedly: How
come everyone is getting old but you and
me?
Fortunately. , this has not happened.
There are so many things I like that I am
usually in a state of happy balance, like a
fat lady going on a diet of ice cream
sundaes.
However, there is one thing in this
country that gravels me thoroughly. It'S a
nasty thing, spreading like a cancer, a
as difficult to fight, and just as fatal to the
people infected.
That thing is the steady growth in this
country, fostered by a small, often vicious,
but vociferous minority, of
Anti-Americanism..
I don't think it has yet grown to
uncontrollable proportions in the corpus
Canadiensis, and I hope it can be cut out
with some rigorous surgery in the right
places.
It's a creepy, crawling business, and the
healthy mind can be zmeared with it
subtely, without even noticing its
existence.
It's hard to pin down. You can: find it
among educators, in the press, among
politiCians, and in varying degrees of
shrillness throughout the media.
Many honest nationaligts are taken in,
and eventually find that their pride in
things Canadian has been warped into
Anti-Americanism: "tee 'there 'He 'rid—
mistake. There is • no real connection. The
farmer is healthy. The latter is sick.
This has always been a country loaded .
with prejudice, whatever you may think. A
couple of generations bask, the Anglo-
Saxons of this fine free country of ours
looked down their noses, even though their
own background was an English slum, a
Scottish 'croft or an Irish • shanty.
They spoke bluntly and disparagingly of
lesser breeds. Germans and Scandinavians
were Squareheads. Italians were Wops or
Dagoes. French were neither Canadian nor
Canadien. They were Frogs or Peasoupers.
Everybody from Eastern Europe to the
Ukraine was a Runkle. A black person was
a Nigger. And a Jew? Well, a Jew certainly
wasn't Jewish. He was "just a Jew." The
only thing lower than any of these
categories was a woman.
Think I'm romancing? It sounds pretty
ugly, doesn't it? But I was there, gentle
reader, and so were many of you.
With education, enlightenment, and a
fine performance by most of those lowly
immigrants, came a change in atmosphere.
It became fashionable •to be "tolerant," a
word that has always made me squirm.
But not before the private schools, and
the law societies and the medical schools
and the golf clubs had had their
WasPs-only barricades knocked down. It
was ugly in this country.
The grandchildren of those earlier
prejudiced people showed a remarkable
lack of that narrowness.Canada was
becoming an oasis of freedom for the
individual. People were leaning over
backward to prove they were liberal and
``tolerant."
And now all that narrowness and secret
hatred seems to be channeling itself into
Anti-Americanism.
People in this country talked endlessly
about Watergate, as though such a sewer
of corruption werepeculiar to Americans.
They sniggered about the antics of
American leaders.
There was a particularly nasty type of
something near gloating when the
Americans pulled out of Vietnam.
There was and is a proliferating of
popular articles about the Americans
owning Canadian industry, buying up
Canadian property.
Let's put an end to this slimy business.
Let's look at our own dredging scandals
and lawless unions. •
Let's stop secretly cheering when the
Yanks get a bloody nose somewhere.
It's not their fault that they're rich and
powerful. They didn't -seize our industry:
— We sold it to them..
France and Britain virtually ignored
Canada-when this country was abuilding.
we owe them nothing.
We could have a lot worse neighbors
than the Americans; in fict almost anyone]
can think of.
Anti-Americanism is chiefly petty envy,
and is found only among those •who are
petty and envious. We're too big for that.
