The meeting was opened with the pledge. Mary Ellen Sturdy read the minutes of meeting three. The next meeting is to be on Oct. 21 at the home of Sharon Potter. Members are to bring a school lunch to the next meeting for judging. The discussion was any protein food in casserole cookery; quick and easy' top stove cooking; dessert and ac- companiments for the third meal; plus color and texture. The demonstration was tuna casserole made by Janet Rodges Just couldn't let the federal election CAraa and go without making some observations about the campaign, Have you ever seen such a dull, no interest contest? Have you ever seen Canadians so unconcerned? Speaking very personally now, I don't get too charged up about an election campaign, I don't make my assessment of a party on the kind of' election gimmicks and slogans they come up with. I judge it on the kind of life I've had in the past four years. And maybe that's selfish. I'm not concerned at election time with the financial situation of my neighbours or the folks in the next village or the people in a city in a provinee I've never. visited. No sir, at election time I base my decisions on my own personal feelings. I figure if every eligible voter in this coun- try clic! the same, we'd elect the government which pleased the majority of people. Let each voter worry about himself, I say. That's our privilege and our duty. And brother, after 36 years in his old world, I know that if Shirley Keller doesn't vote with Shirley Keller in mind, no one else will. And so, I really don't get ex- cited about the charges and counter-charges in an election campaign. Politicians are politicians. Like ordinary men and women, there's good and bad in politicians .,.. and on top of all that, politicking is an art in itself which demands a kind of talent at election time that not many people understand or would care to possess.. Take the main issue in this campaign as far as the average voter in this part of the country is concerned — unemployment and/or the Unemployment In- surance Commission. Members of the opposition are trying to make a big thing of these matters because it is something which affects most Canadians in one way or another. If you aren't working, unemployment is a big problem. If you are working, you can always gripe about the UIC and how others are getting fat on your contributions. But when you analyze the job situation in this part of the world, you find there's a shor- tage of workers. That's right. There's a „shortage of men and ,-, women whci are willing to give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. There's lots of folks who want to improve their working con- ditions — shorter hours, longer vacations, improved sick benefits, better pay scales, few responsibilities. These are the people who are swelling the ranks of the unemployed in this country, The guy or the gal who really wants to work and is in, terested mainly in getting a job and keeping it, has no problem at all. In fact, many of the em- ployers I know are crying for reliable people and just can't find them, And welfare is another foot, ball in the election of 1972. People are generally op in arms about the way the welfare department is being exploited by certain individuals. There have been times when I've ex- pressed similar views in this column. Nobody likes a sponge, somebody who PREFERS to live off somebody else simply due to laziness. But welfare is here to stay. It has to be. I'm willing to wager that in the future welfare recipients will increase in num- bers because it is apparent that there are some people in this country who don't want to work, don't have the necessary psychological makeup to under- stand the therapy of work and won't ,work. Why thrust that kind of a person onto an em- ployer? Better by far to accept these weaklings as a nuisance factor connected with life in a free country in the same way as the common cold or the flu — and get on with the business of living. Where welfare is concerned, I would advocate a system of priorities — such as increased welfare payments to legitimate recipients so that these folk could live decently and in dignity and reduced cheques to those who choose welfare because they believe its their right. I would remove the stigma attached to welfare for the thousands and thousands of Canadians to whom fate has dealt a severe blow, and I would accept the ever-present percen- tage of opportunists who have no pride in themselves or their country. Sure, It will cost money. Millions of dollars. But I wouldn't make it an issue uniesS Abereiswas something WonlOttoM about it .... and I 'doubt-Ifia41S' unless you destroy the democratic system we all prize. vices at Londesboro United Church.
