Dear Sir.
Well, it looks as if the custo-
mary summer vacation won't be
enjoyed. by our poor legislators on
.Parliament Hill. Brian has locked
up the boys until.cvcryonc signs
in favor of Free Trade, denying a
thorough debate, or a study of the
complete Free Trade proposal pack-
age in committee. He fully intends
to ram the deal down the throats of
Canadians like a bitter pill, letting
'us study the results only AFTER
we've taken the dose. Thcrc is to

be no referendum, no election
til after everything is signed on the
dotted line, a great example of de-
mocracy.
The majority of Americans down
there in Washington, on the other
hand, seem very favorably disposed
to the deal, and they too have
choked off the opposition of -a few
naysaycrs, notably the textile, ura-
nium and lumber interests. Why?
Because. folks, the' Yankee Trader
knows a great deal when he secs
one. U.S. negotiator Clayton
miter himself was heard to mutter
-an incredulous -aside after the deal
was signed - "These Canadians
don't realize what they've signed!
We'll own Canada in 25 years!"
Brian's Torics (whether they
agree privately or not) are peddling
reassurance that only trade is affect-
ed, e.g.. money, business, imports,
exports; opening up our markets to
he competition in a great and glo-
bous future. That sounds fine,- as
ar as it goes. They also solemnly
ssurc us that our social programs
water resources and culture were
never part of the deal. Really?
According to. the TV bt siness
program VENTURE, there is a
U.S. proposal to address their
problem -of severe drought in the .
Southern U.S. The Mississippi
River is so !ow that salt water is
backing up into the river delta and
coming upstream. One possible
solution for them is to ask those
Canadians, with whom they are
about to ratify one great deal, to
cooperate, with the plan to open
.up the Chicago Water Diversion -
System, in order to flood the Mis-
sissippi River system with water
from Lake 11ichigan. It wouldn't
lower the water levels by too many
feet, and after all, that's what
friends arc for, right? Then in the
next emergency they could drain
another lake or tap some other riv-
er. That's one of thc main reasons
the Americans signed this deal -
they want access to our water re-
sources to solve their shortages.
Well, it's starting already, folks,
and Brian has never been able. to
say "No" to the Americans for very
long.

Burton, Allan Fothcringhani, Mar

These aren't hysterical, uninformed,

well-educated people, experts in
their fields, and looking at the deal
from the standpoint of changes to
banking, loss of sovereignty, loss
of culture or loss of resources, they
all find areas of grave concern.

well-documented history of crying
"Unfair Subsidies!" and swift rctali-
ation.- They demonstrated that very
cic;irly during the Frce-Tratic.Talks
with punitive tariffs on lumber and
Shingles. Will. Free Trade prevent
that in the future? How can it if we
are-_ obliged to play the game by
THEIR rules of what constitutes

and it won't be accomplished in..

TORONTO - Summer eating is
almost synonymous with barbecu-
ing, and most cooks will agree this
casual methodof cooking is much •
more fun and relaxed than the usual
kitchen activity.
Diners await eagerly, enjoying
the tantalizing aromas wafting from
the backyard, while the cook works
at a leisurely pace, seasoning, mari-
nating, skewering and otherwise
readying food for the grill.
This summer, venture out from
the usual -barbecue fare andinclude
fresh Ontario pork. If it's not al- n
ready in your barbecue repertoire t
you're in for a treat. Pork is tender, t
tasty, combines well with a multi- 1
tude of seasonings and flavorings, 2
and many cuts require only a short
cooking period.
The secret to perfect barbecued
pork is to grill it over low to mod-
erate heat. This reduces shrinkage
nd ensures tender, juicy results.
2 Isp salt (10 mL) salt
2 thsp (25 mL) chopped parsley
1 doves garlic, minced
Combine all ingredients except
ribs; mix well. Place ribs in a shal-
low dish, cover with marinade and
refrigerate for 24 hours, turning
meat occasionally. Remove ribs
from marinade and place on barbe-
cue grill sct approximately 6 inches
above coals. Close hood of grill.
Cook over low heat for about one
hourand 15 minutes or until done,
brushing occasionally with marl
ado. Makes 6 servings. Prepara-
ion time: 10 minutes, marinating
inte: 24 hours, cooking time: 1 1-
1/4 hours. Calorics per 'serving:

About Grand Bend
Written by William W.
"Adare" Revingtun in 1863
d so much lately about
,rindl3crxi, •
(•thought I'd go see it; so mys
and a friend
Set out on the journey; the day
w'as'fine, .
The drive was delightful, we w
the townlinc.
The day, being wartn, we though
best•
To drive into Frank 1lohlbine's an
there take a rest;
But early next morning wc arriv
at Pork Blake, • .
V'hcrc we enjoyed a good time
the shores of the lake.
.From Port Blake we journey dow
to the Grand Bend.
Where wc met Tommy Murdock,
school•matc and friend; .
But before i go roaming permit me
my man,
To describe the Grand Bend hcrc
well as I can.
The Grand Bend, .you must know
as l told you bcfprc,
Is a bend in the banks of old Lak
Huron's shore,
Where the river Aux Saublc its blu
waters blend,
And the curve in the river is called
the Grand Bend. •
•
While describing this place, here let
me describe -
it was the battle -field once of the
Chippewa tribe,.
Where they fought for their freedom
and struggle(' for rights,
And they died in the struggle, as
well as some whites.
And many's the brave left his bones
the for to bleach, .
li tm-i' arc there. to this day in the
elf • sand on the beach,
But on this sad subject I've no time
it to spend,
For there's lots more amusing back
ent at the Grand Bend.
Here arc hundreds of people from
t it country and town,
Who come here to camp at this
d place of renown,.
To tell who they arc i do not in -
cd tend,
For there's a great many camping
on back at the Grand Bend.
it's delightful they say to enjoy the
n lake breeze,
While flirting beneath the evergreen
a tfCCS,
That grow in abundance upon the
, lake shore.
Or listen enchanted to the loud bil-
as lows roar.
They've sermons and lectures and
, music galore.
And sometimes they have dancing
c upon the lake shore,
if you want recreation and have
c time for to spend,
• You need go no farther than to the
Grand Bend.
And now to conclude and to finish
my song,
You need not read this if you think
it's too long,
But the half is not told you that i
did intend,
About what there's doing back at
the Grand Bend
