Do We Cause High
THE -FEDERAL budget is due in
late April or early M^y apd many
Canadians are. wondering just*.what
Finance Minister Sharp has up his
sleeve this time.
To the average man in the street
who has trouble paying the milkman
once a month, Mr. Sharp and his staff
have an incredible job to do. One thing
is certain. It matters not what Ottawa __x______ _____ ______
decides with regard to the budget. It'/can provide more services for less
—.u. x.__ money, and they veto the honest Joe
who admits you must raise more money
to spend more money.
Is it any wonder, then, that Cana7
dians wait in eager anticipation for the
budget; or that they speculate so far in
advance as to the methods to be em
ployed to maintain progress at a mini
mum cost to the citizens? v Can we be
tinues to make demands on all levels of
government for improved living and
working conditions;'
' It is understood that it is unhealthy
to stand still. More politicians have
been elected because they promised pro
gress than ..because they pledged them
selves to an all-out drive to/quell
any new ideas that would increase the
tax burden to the public. Voters put
store by the candidate who claims1 he
can’t satisfy the Opposition or the
chronic complainers who couldn’t make
ends meet if money- grew on parking <
.meters, „
Persons in the know concerning the
country’^ economic status say that the
budget will be mildly 'expansionary with
no increase in taxes and a substantial
deficit. They say that the,economy is- ______ _______ _____ ______________
losing its thrust and that the time for ’ too unhappy with politicians who fail
restraints is over. ’ • ■ ‘ ......... ‘ ~
While we plead ignorance to most
of the nation’s bookkeeping reasoning,
we often wonder how a country the size
of Canada can be expected to hold the
line when--the average householder con-
to come up with the magical formula
for prosperity without sweat? Or do we
dare to point the finger of ridicule when
it is our own human greed and pride
which controls so much of the govern
ment spending?
Not so 'long ago Old Man Winter was king in
this district, -piling up tons of snow and ice for rest-,
dents to shovel. At Dr. Frank Newland’s cottage,
Bayfield, this huge snow drift accumulated and,
when this picture was taken just recently, the top
of it was in line with the eaves troughs on the
cottage. We get an idea of its height when 'we
note that Paul Newland is dwarfed as he 'stands
beside it. (Photo by Alan Galbraith)

jr
Remember where we left'
off? Twenty years from now.
A weak central government,
with everybody from the
■ housewife to the U.S. govern
ment down on it. z
A tough, ruthless Uniforce, -l.
popularly, known as the Ca
na d i a n Cobras, 100,000
strong. And jut-jawed Joe
Garibaldi,, former union lead- .
er, as Defence Minister.
The Honorable Joe Vaulted
into the House of Commons
in a rather unusual fashion.
•One of his opponents with
drew from the campaign, on
health grounds and set out
for .,a world tour. The other
was run down by a truck,
ju'st after addressing a meet
ing in which he had attacked
the Honorable Joe. Both in-’
.cidents occurred three days
before the election. Joe won.
He moved into Ottawa with
several beetle-browed co
horts. A modest flat? Not on
your life* He took over an
entire floor of the Chateau
Laurier. There he lived Quiet
ly* with nothing to distin-
' guish him from the average
MP** except the constant flow
of;, chuhpagne, call girls,1 and
guests.
He was lavish with the
press, and' they liked it. He
was always good for a story,
because he had guts, color,
arid good Whisky, an unusual
combination in a member of
tlie House.
But the majority of his
guests were sleek-headed men
who grow fat and sleep
o’nights. industrialists with a
now' gimmick, armament-
makers with a new toy,
cians With a new angle, arid
•all the other flies Who gather
around honey.
The Honorable Joe was the
natural choice for Dbfencd
Minister. Slack-jawed Lester
GbWfcm* Prime Minister, last:
of Canada’s Rhodes scholars,
felt in a vague sbnt of way
that the Cabinet heeded new.
I
-
tfllat the Cabinet heeded
blood.
Within two years he
quadrupled the defence
ihad
de-
payment’s slice of the na
tional pie. That made it 85
per cent of the taxes, but
nobody kicked, 'because, even
though there hadn’t been a
naw- post office, bridge or
breakwater built in several
years, everybody was proud \
of the Cobras, the world’s
finest fighting force.-'
And only a flew old-
fashioned members of the
press thought it odd that the
-Cobras paid ten per cent of
their salaries voluntarily, into
the Old Soldiers Benevolent
Fund. Chairman of the Fund,
Joseph J. Garibaldi. By 1987,
of course, there were precious
few old soldiers left, but they
were well treated by the ’
Fund. Two glasses of beer a
day, free' smokes, roll-your-
own,’ arid a sexy movie every
Saturday night, whether you
wanted it or not.
Joie played it cool. He in
vited a couple of waiters from
the Nanking restaurant up
for a weekend bash. Every
body thought he was flirting
with the Chinese.
T^hf) U.S. State Defjartmerit
called an emergency1 session.
The C.T.A. infiltrated Ottawa,
in the guise of civil servants.
Of course, "nobody recognized
them. Each thought they
were other civil servants spy
ing on him .
Next' thing he did was
throw up a rtring of fortress
es at Vancouver, Windsor,
Brookville ahd Sit. Andrews-
by-the-Sea. He justified the
expense by pointing out at a
secret irieetihg ctf the caucus*
that the forts ivsrie made of
paper, thus giving a boost to
our pulp and paper industry.
But the results were drastic.
The Americans pulled eight
divisions out of G^rmariy and
.sprinkled them along the
49th parallel, aborit eight men
to the toile. They Sent ah air
craft carrier tip the St. lArir*,
rerice Seaway. It got stuck
sideways, /but the tesidehts of
Prescott, Ontario, fast their
root for a flew days, with
those 19-inchers trained on
them. ’ ' .
The entire U.S. Air Force
was yanked out of South Af
rica, from which they <■ had
been napaiming -..the Congo
lese. The pilots were delight
ed -to be back in spots like
Oswego, N.Y.. where a beer
was 35 cents instead- of a
buck, and .besides, they want
ed a whack at those Can
adian Cobras, who Were get

zine titan they were.
Alas, once again we have
run out of space, and you
must wait until next week’s
issue to learn how Canada ‘
was taken over by a dictator
in the only bloodless revo
lution in history. Well practi
cally bloodless.

yOTTAWA — Robert Thomp
son’s resignation from the lead
ership of the Social Credit
Party came as • a welcome re-
•lief for the many people who
'appreciated his edmmonsense
approach to Canadian and
world problems, but who' didn’t
want to get themselve-s linked
<■ politically with Social Credit.
It also came as' no surprise
to people who had paid atten-
-tion to his repeated pleas for
adherence to principles rather
than ■ party and to . those (who
knew him well enough not 'to
attack political ambitions to
his calls for a political realign
ment.
It is certain that Thompson
did not resign with any pre
meditated plan to join the Lib
era'] s or the (fonservatives, or
even to seek a job in external
affairs. However, his many
talents might serve the coun
try better in the ' diplomatic
service than in the back bench
es of parliament, or evten the
front bench of a minor party,
for that matter.
Bob Thompson’s broad view
of national affairs and quiet
approach to monetary re
form was 'what the Social
Credit Party needed, but the
party failed to recognize fit.
Rank and file party people are
invariably keen theoreticians
and persistently over-estimate
the ordinary man’s concern
with the fine pointe' of nwmen-
tary and fiscal policy., They
■expound long theories on bank
inner reserves .and cheque-book
money and are genuinely baf
fled when the public doesn’t
rise up and march on Ottawa
demanding monetary reforms.
Social Credit governments
have been successful in Alberta
and British Columbia, not be
cause of the monetary theor
ies of Major Douglas, but be
cause they have been honest,
efficient administrations that
have left the individual a maxi
mum of scope for development
of personal initiative.
If this visual aid is not
enough Social Creditors need
only examine the Then who rep
resent their views in Parlia
ment. Major Douglas had pre
cious little to do With getting
any one of the five elected.
Bob Thompson and , Bud
Olson, the two Alberta mem
bers, could win their riding
whatever their party label.
They have succeeded in win
ning at the federal level the
kind of non-partisan support
that has kept Premier Man
ning in power in Edmonton all
these years.
