TO THE EDITOR
Recently, an inquest Was held
in Clinton concerning the tragic
accident which claimed the lives
of three paling Men. The
coroner's jury recommended
that We should have better
ambulance service in Clinton.
I was very much sUrpriSed to
see that no mention Of this
reCoMtriendation WAS made at
the council meeting, or by any
other eitheris, ft would appear
that no one is interested —
perhaps because the young men
who lost their lives were not
from our area; therefore we
need not be eoneerned.. '
However; I feel that we
should at least try to seek ai
solution to this problem.
I realize the difficulty
involved in getting an •ambulanc .
iii our town, but we Will nevet,
solve this serious situation
ignoring it.

Whether men reach the moon this
decade or iri the 197Q's hardly matters.
The countless billions already spent on
their moon programs by the United States
and the Soviet Union cannot be recouped.
In the view of many, the vast sums
expanded by the two super-powerson the
race to the moon have been wasted — to
the detriment of foreign aid programs and
national development schemes.
For while a few men' chase after the
stars, most of humanity must still live in
the mud of poverty and in misery, upon
an earth where any genuine attempt to
Share wealth equally it still scoffed at as
unrealistic by most gOvernments and
P°Iitidal leaders.
Professor Gerhard Martius, chief
gynaecologist at West Berlin's Martin
Luther Hospital, told an international
congress recently that two of every three
people in the world already are suffering•
from malnutrition. He says if mankind
keeps multiplying at the present rate,
Ontario has now made a useful start in
ensuring that the used motor vehicles
which ply our roads are mechanically fit.
But much remains to be done.
On November 1, it became necessary
for dealers to provide a certificate of
roadworthiness for every used vehicle
they sell. Those who buy used vehicles
privately have to produce • a safety
certificate in order to register the change
of ownership.
Without doubt, the new regulations
will improve the safety performance of
the 800,000 vehicles khat change hands in
Ontario each year.
But the regulations do not cover the
safety standard of used cars that do not
change hands.
Inspection of traded vehicles will still
leave. Ontario roads crawling with

with maintaining a sound external
financial 'position have eased it is possible
to concentrate once again on our other
economic problems."
-"I am afraid that none of them has
gone away. Prices and costs are still rising
too rapidly despite the emergence of
considerable unemployment and unused
capacity. The growth of the economy has
been well within our potential for more
than two years but so long as the strong
upward trend in prices and costs
continues, there are real risks in taking
steps to accelerate the expansion of total
spending in the economy,
"Our recent trade ,performance has
demonstrated that Canada is still
competitive internationally but it is also
true that our recent exchange problems

any undermining of confidence by a
further extended period of poor cost and
