a leafy tonna of voltpt

The ,.town council, in ';.the t me

Because of the ‘,'Iclevelopment"

flanking high among' the
villains are the "developers," in
moareenlightened cultures, the y
would he. ,called ecological. rap-
ists. They take a section of
beautiful bushland fertile farm.,
land, or lush frunland. They send
in their bulldozers ,to ensure that
the i property y will look .. like
no-man's*land They then crveit
into 50 -foot lots and jam in the.
jerry-built houses, cheek by jowl,
give the whole thing a fancy
name, Spend .a fortune on ,adver-
tising, and flog the swollen -
priced abortions to poor suckers
who are so desperate for a house
of their own they shoulder mort-
gage they can never possibly get
out from under.
This, when Canada has more
land that is Useless for' anything
else but building than it can ever,
use. That is "progress. '
Oh„ "progress" has many
faces," and many sounds, 'and not
a few smells.
Far below the roar of the over-
sized, over-pricedcars burning
up precious, energy as they
whoosh down the superhighways
may be ,heard the whimper, of
_starving children.
Behind the smiling face and
honeyed words of the' Public
Relations Department , canbe
seen something not unlike -a
mountain range -- huge, ever-
growing piles of non -returnable
bottles, rusting cans, and inde-
structible plastic garbage.
And the stinks! "Progress"
will take a cool, clean, sweet
trout stream and poison it with
chemicals and detergents. and
other toxic elements, because
"We need the.industry ' And the
big, belching smokestacks go
right on belching their. nauseous
gases from their rotten stom-
achs; laughing hilariously when
the government -slaps. theilt on the
wrist with a staggering $25 fine.
"Progress" hoists, again and
again, the taxes on booze,
because governments would fall
without that revenue, and sets up
a cheap and panty -waist program
barely hinting at the evils of
drink.
"Progress" produces bigger
cars that go faster and burn more
fuel on bigger highways, the
vehicles propelled in many
cases, by drivers who " couldn't
handle a crisis in a • kiddie -car
race.
"Progress" taxes everything
but the living breath of the
'working stiff, but encourages the
plumpies with the expense
accounts and the credit cards to
go out and live it up and lie and
cheat on their taxes.
Medical "progress" means
turning a great number of adult
neurotics into drug addicts by
socking the pills to them, and
with the other hand giving a stiff -
arm m the face to the dirty, sick,
frightened kids of the drug age.
A pretty dim view of progress?
It is, as many people look on the
word.
But surely there are enough of
us left who believe in the real
meaning of the word — moral,
social and intellectual progress
— to try to do something about
the spreading sickness.
Same time next Sunday,
please. In the meantime, on
guard against the "progress"
people.

Exports of agricultival pro-
ducts hit a record $3.8 billion in
1974, a 27 per cent increase over
the 1973 figure of $3 billion.
fi7On orfs were also pk.. . $2.83
Millon, a 31 `per .cent increase
over 1973 — leaving a s- .plus
trade balance of $985 milli. , an
increase of 17 per cent abo a the
previous year.
The sharp increase in the value
of exports was due chiefly to
higher world pricesfor wheat and
other grains, Wheat exports
valued at $2.04 billion' accounted
for most of the increase over 1973.
The decline in value of exports.
of animals and meat from $332
million in 1973. lo $216. million in
1974 was due in part to the quota
restrictions imposed by the
e
United States.
Sugar was a big contributor to
the increase in value of imports.
The value of sugar imports in-
creased to $442 million in 1974
from $166 million in 1973.
Japan was Canada's most im-
portant export market for agri-
cultural products in 1974, pur-
chasing $683 million worth, or 18
per cent of all farm exports.
