OPTOMETRY INSURANCE 4 coach runs game If the rules of politics were as in- flexible as those of baseball Prime Mi r!' i$ter Pierre Elliott "Trudeau would have struck out before even taking his proper stance at the plate, Mr. Trudeau said if the pari,s— Quebec relationship at the current edu- cational conference took the 'same form as the Gabon-Quebec relationship then Canada would have to cut off diploma- tic relations with France. The situation is the same, with Quebec getting state treatment, but. no action has been taken, and, with the election having been called prob- ably no action will be taken. Strike one, To get his second strike Mr. Tru- deau formed a cabinet which few people have been able to comprehend. Obviously temporary„ it hardly seems worth the effort with the dissolution of parliament being called. Results of the election will bring either a new •cabinet or none at all, Most serious strike against Mr. Trudeau, the third strike, is the calling of the election itself. In his quest to become prime minister he promised not to call an election "before a reason- able time," which he defined as pos- sibly the fall of next year. As two months cannot be considered a "rea- sonable time" his pr6rmise is shattered, While his advisors are not to be blamed for recommending the calling of an election as Mr. Trudeau "richs the crest of a wave of popularity" as they usually put it, he can be blamed for not realizing the calling of the vote may turn the crest into a trough. A federal election every 'two years is a rather hectic pace both fin- ancially and in terms of time wasted. There is no denying charm, wit and plain old charisma count for a lot in a• leader but a great many people are going to be asking why they should vote Liberal. Mr. Trudeau will have to resort to his days as justice minister to find a list of accomplish- ments. As it is he has merely walked in- to the batter's box, taken three wild Swings, waved to the spectators and trotted off to check the- gaVe; receipts, Meanwhile Robert Stanfield staricii- puzzled on the pitcher's• mound, his best throws still in his hand. • And on first base is Thomas Douglas, waiting to pick off the first runner to get a hit. Mr. TrUdeau has, made a poor de- cision which reflects, abOve all, a lack of confidence in himself .as a batter and a fear of facing the opposition's best pitches. J E.

The CBC staffers were dull, Once again we were shown how television presents history in the, making, One of the big. gest news stories from the and Pte. and Mrs. Kenneth Pickett. United States occurred, and coverage of the Martin Luther King death was instantaneous. • Olympic pollution 'Already politics has contamin- ated the summer Olympics in Mexico and, if the pleas 'of Nancy Green are listened to, money will also become part of the games and bring total pollution. The Olympics must remain the essence of athletic purity; free of na- tionalism, monetary gain and artifi- cial stimulants. It must be the show- place of physical skills with the parti- cipats being applauded, not for the number of points they bring their county in the artificial standings, but for their ability, in comparison with other athletes, to execute a particular skill. .The participants must remain strictly amateur, receiving only a basic government allowance to get them to the games and home again. They must compete for the love of sport and close competition. If this love is not strong enough that they should be willing to suffer, then they are not worthy of the world applause , and gold medal received by an olympic champion. Sir: Last December , an' 'Ontario newspaper stated under heading of.. "No moment for yielding" that if it didn't look suspi. ciously like the first step in ' total surrender to Ottawa over the medical care issue, the provincial government's de. cision 'to. combine its hospital and medical insurance opera. tions would be sound..- Instead of preparing to abandon the ship Mr. Robarts should be consult. ing with Mr. Johnson to deter. mine just what kind of a meda icare scheme will best serve their two provinces. Theywould then be set to bring Ottawa to heel; and heading up the two biggest provinces and holding most of the political dynamite, they could do it. It is obvious that formidable resistance is arrayed behind the provincial goyernments and ima plernentation of the peoples' medicare is uncertain. The 1967 payments 'of the Saskatchewan medical care in. - surance commission were $23, 338,000 an increase of 5.'3 per cent over 1966. The tealthldino ister described the cost as frightening, and starting April 1st patients must par'part of - their doctor's bills - half of. the -$3 for an office visit, and $2 of the $.5 for a house Call. That's strange and corning sd close to July IS(' when federal cost-sharing is supposed to be. , come available. The: approid. mate $10 million could be used for an orderly increase in the unrealistic doctors' fee sche. dule and An reduee the flat rate Premium for families. . , Imagine being alarmed .over the slight rise' in. paymenta. Ontario mediealffees were tai S. : ed in 1967 With. a $1. increase in office visits bringing that cost to owtstp tti $4.50.

Mrs. Biddlecombe states the marriage notice copied last week in 'which Mr: N. F. Vail. 'mot's name figured, did not refer to the gentleman who was lately a resident of town. Mrs. Duncan has sold a.house on High Street to Mrs. Cook for the sum of $470 recently occupied by Mr. J.- W. Hill; the auction sale of this pro. perty 'announced for Saturday is therefore cancelled. The wind last week played havoc, with things generally and did a :considerable amount of damage. The town escaped with. out much harm being done, but in the country fences were lev. elled trees by the score blown over and barns unroofed. 55 years ago THE CLINTON NEW ERA April 24, 1913 Mr. Robert Brown Jr., STrath: cone, is home for the summer to help his father who is' not able to do the farming.
