Clinton News-Record, 1972-10-29, Page 6What Life Will Be Like In Canada With A Planned Socialist Economy • The Farmer wilt have complete say over what he produces, with no middlemen making huge profits at the expense of the Farmer and the Consumer. • There will be complete equality for men and women in jobs, wages, education, etc. • International Unions will be a thing of the past. All workers will be organized and belong to one central body like the C.L.C. • There will be no unemployment, no welfare but adequate state aid for all who require it. • All education and medicare will be free. All recreation and sports such as • boating, flying etc. will be brought within the reach of everyone. • There will be no foreign ownership. No large• sums of money will be taken out of the country to be invested abroad for private profit, • There will be earlier pensions, shorter work week and working day. The vast disparity in salaries, wages and pensions will be brought into a more realistic alignment and all vacations will be of the same duration. •. Culture, Art, Science, Social Security and Sports will flourish beyond the . imagination of most people. • The N.D.P. will have gone into oblivion because of their mistaken idea that they could make Capitalism work. Most people had realized that this is an im- possible task for all they had to do was to take a look at the failure of the Labour ,Party in Britain or the Social Democracy that existed in Sweden which then had the highest alcoholic and suicide rate in the world, 80% of the economy was still privately owned and beset with economic woes. • The pressures and frustrations that had pushed many people to seek relief in drugs and excessive use of alcohol will have disappeared. The large com- panies that had enjoyed a monopoly on these unfortunate people ate no longer in existence. • In our society there were many jobs and work being done that was non- productive and of no benefit to society. This labour was gradually phased out and the people channelled and retrained to do things that were useful and beneficial to society, There is a far greater opportunity to place round pegs in round holes and square pegs in square holes, most people were not working at things they would lika to do. • There was an end to Canada's complicity in selling war materials for wars of aggression such as the United States was waging in Vietnam. • Organized crime will have ceased, because the conditions that encourage that type of crime will also have gone into the garbage can of history. • Soclelitim is actually a continuation of true Christianity, did not Christ Say, "I come that they might have life and have it more abundantly", St, John, Chapter 10, Verse 10. There will be ho. Independence Without Socialism, ho Socialism without Independence, Socialism is the answer to all our problems. On October 30 Vote ED BAIN For a Socialist Canada Preliminary.

CUnton News-Reeord, Thursday, October ?6, 197,2 As others see us Sarnia writer loves Clinton. Nearly half labors depends on farming The following appeared in the Sarnia Gazette on August 23 and is, the Gazette's im- pressions of Clinton, BY MARCEIL sAppor You can cut only so much grass, and cuss the garden only so many times before you decide you need a day off, So away to the Clinton Raceway last Sun- day for the scrutiny of a small- town racetrack ... and the side thrill of betting on a Sunday in blue-law Ontario. What a pleasant surprise! First of all, Clinton is a great little town - have no idea why it was never visited before. It sits straddled some hills and is truly a com- munity with character. I think the population sign said 3000. The downtown is old but in lovely shape, The buildings kept up. The stores look good. Well don't think that the Sunday racecard is riot making a dif- ference. The town was just a- hopping at 1 p.m. Race time was 2 p.m. and I figured I had a lot of time to kill. Not on your life. By the time I got parked three blocks away and hoofed it to the park, it was getting near post- time. Had a mishap though. Was wearing Bermudas and felt a draft, The zipper had come loose! Good grief! What to do? I had bought my ticket and was just breezing around when the calamity struck, A hurried check in the john proved that the damage was permanent. So, what to do but hoof it back three blocks to the car where some other old swimming shorts, (really adult cut-offs) stained with various paints (and a huge rim of white on the rear wherel once sat upon an open gallon can), How I got into them on a busy street in Clinton will be left to your own devination, In any event ,.. back to the track and here I give 100% credit to the Kinsmen of Clinton for the place Was named "The Kinsman Raceway", Apparently that busy club (and it sure is busy here in Sarnia, too) had got the town fathers moving and it was paying off., There must be 150 jobs created each Sunday (the card goes on until October on Sunday's only) and all 3000 plus were there. Albeit the bet- ting facilities were a bit out- doorsy they do have pari-mutuel machines which spit up the tickets as fast as you cough over the $2, Got a great kick out of a couple of kids who had tumbled to a sure thing, They knew of one older man, rather tubby, who was famed for winning. So what did they do, but ease up either behind him or aside of him whenever he made his Daily Double or Exactor bets. By Gad! He had bought 7 two- dollar tickets and on an Exactor paying him a total of over $230. I spotted them and at first thought they were up to something odd. But they were just doing a bit of lipreading and I got in on the act soon enough. The word came from Spy No, 1 that the bet was "Five and Two". So I emptied the pockets, bought two exactors and put $5 on the nose of No. 5 to boot. Sure enough the old guy had picked it right! And there I was with a win and two exactor tickets. Don't think that wasn't a high point but it was not to last long. So many .people had bet on the 5-2 combination that the payoff was AO unbelievable ten cents! You bet two .dollars. and got it back with a dime! Never in the history of racing have we ever run into so picayune a payoff, The horse was Atomos, a trim and pretty little pacer of which harness fans will hear much more I am sure, * * * A Forest Family Owns "Atomos" .... John and Pearl Lester. The little chestnut gelding is only 3 and is by "Newport Duke" out of "Mighty Lady I," .., and romped home for the win of the Belvedere Pacing Stake and a purse of $2000 in just over 2:04. Atomos hit the Clinton Track with a 2,03.2 record for five-eighths of a mile at Windsor Raceway. So it did the mile in excellent time driven by her owner John. Out 11 times this year, Atomos has clocked up 5 wins, 3 places and a show which, in any race fan's book is pretty fine running. The little pacer is bound to set some records at Western Fair Track which I am sure is next, And has won well over $5500 so -far this year for its owner .... The Economic and Activity Shot in the Arm for a little com- munity is something to see. Clin- ton has a public swimming pool ' adjacent to the fairgrounds and it would seem to me that many people came, put the little kids in swim suits and sent them to the guarded pool while they bet the nags. The whole place took on the air of a true, country fair and community event. As we say the raceway creates jobs, just as it does in Goderich every Wed- nesday and in Dresden on a 3 night a week basis. Pity Sarnia missed the boat. Older people are inclined to react severely to extremes of temperature, St. John Ambulance warns. They should be advised tactfully about suitable clothing; but never forced. Assistance in dressing is often necessary but again tact should be used to avoid a feeling of helplessness. Arthur James Hoy, son of. Mr. and Mrs. Les Hoy of Goderich recently graduated from the Post Secondary Two-Year Diploma Course In Recreation at Conestoga College, Kit- chew% Upon graduation, Mr. Hoy accepted a position of Recreational Director and Supervisor in Correctional Services of Ontario. (staff photo) Forty-five per cent of On- tario's labor force 'depends on agriculture and food industries. "This makes farmers important too important to our economy to be ,belittled as happy hayseeds," says Gordon Hill, of Varna, Ontario Federation of Agriculture president. Canada's farm machinery in- dustry employs 15,000 workers, and the feed industry, 9,000. Last year, Canadian farmers spent more than three billion dollars. "That's a feW Wheel-barrows of greenbacks. Without them, men would be jobless, and kit- chen cupboards bare," Hill claims in the October 24 issue of FARM AND couNTrty. Last year agriculture and its brother industries accounted for 29 percent of Canada's Gross National Product. Hill also points to exports. In 1970, more than 16 percent of Canada's ex- ports were farm products. Food was eight percent of Canada's imports. "It takes an efficiency and in- telligence to bring two dollars into the country for every dollar spent on the world's super- market", concludes Hill. He said farmers have had to sacrifice their own incomes for this efficiency. "But soon the sacrificing will end, It must, or our agricultural community will crumble. This Canada cannot afford. If agriculture does not maintain, its healthy, quick pace of growth - not only farmers, but all Canadians will suffer." Some Ontario drivers whose licences are suspended for impaired driving, are sub- sequently given restricted licen- ces allowing them to use their cars in connection with their work, The Ontario Safety League explains: Any drinking- and-driving first offence results in a mandatory three-month suspension. If an accident is in- volved, the suspension is automatically increased to six months, But in the case of a first offence, the magistrate can recommend a restricted licence for the last three months of the six months, if the driver needs his licence to earn a living.
