People like Charles Gundy, A.E. Diamond and others provided the suport. The real guts of the program were dedicated volunteers who came from many racial and religious backgrounds. Finally, after twenty years, my health suffered and I had to withdraw. I now feel that the time has come to reach out across our QUIET� COUNTRY living on 11/4 acres In Port Albert, survey property with water and two road access.

This is merely a testing, of one's sincerity. The attitude that good old Canada will muddle through may not always be enough. This summer, I went camping into the Okanagan and Fraser Valleys and I felt a bit of Canadian history when I retraced the routes of Fraser and Thompson and also saw the results of building the railroad through the moun- tains. It makes our efforts to preserve Canada small by comparison. I plan on spending my prisoner -of -war pension and other money in the sending out of messages to„the media, individuals nd groups. The messages will be carefully thought out because of the desire to reach people acid also because I only have so many dollars to do what I feel that I must do.

We have had sufficient in- ternecine dealings in Canada and it is time we pulled together for a change. After several - plane crashes during the war, be- ing shot down, strafed by our own planes and heart at- tacks, ttacks, anything I can do and the time to do it is a bonus. I happened to be in the House of Commons years ago when there was a budget leak. The Government and Opposition made much of it, hooting, desk thumping and dragged it on and on. Finally in all sincerity, a farmer MP from the West rose and said, "you have had your innings, now let us get on with the business of the country.” He was jeered at by his fellow members. I feel like that farmer MP for many will either ignore or jeer at what I have to say. This does not bother me -for I know thatat least it will start people thinking. The messages that I will send out will be the same for all parts of the country. I do not believe in playing politics and giving up prin- ciples and beliefs just for the sake of sweetening the im- pact in certain regions- This is why it is important that what must be said should not be influenced by political, business or union ties. Mind you, I am a firm believer that I only have the right to speak up when I also par- ticipate in the happenings of our country. Favourable response to date has been received from Peter Bronfman, Walter Gordon, Roland Michener, John Bassett, Harrison Mc- Cain, etc. The next step is to reach out to the media. In May, I plan to go by bus to Winnipeg. Regina, Edmon- ton, Calgary and Vancouver, staying at the cheapest ac- commodation. If my health and money hold up it will be Quebec and the Maritimes in the Fall. By then there will be others ready to carry on. Letters are starting to trickle in from different parts of the country. Now the time has come to reach out to the media and individuals on a larger scale. The costs of offset printing of the messages, stamps and get- ting addresses must now be nd coiwtries weighed. This business 'of personal typing of letter§ is slow and to be honest, I just do not have the same energy that I had when we had the downtown programs. There must be people out.tl)ere who are willing to take up the tor- ah. Working for the good of our country must never become an ego trip. We seem to be proud to be Canadians when we win a world eliampionship, Ken Clark shelters Americans in Iran, a Canadian seal- Mount Everest, etc. The media said that when Terry Fox, the courageous one, made his way slowly and painfully across the country, that this would bring us together. Unfortunately, the pride generated was only of a temporary nature. I have rnet many people from dif- ferent countries in prisoner - of -war camp and they held their heads up high when they talked of their native land. I feel that we Cana- dians are proud of our coun- try but for some undefined reason are reluctant to put our caring into words and ac- tion. What do we stand t4 looe by just sitting Welt and let- ting etting things happen? lin the 70's England had racial pro bless in their large cities when people competed for jobs_ and'housing. This is possible here and I can think of three areas in Metro Toronto that could be tiot spots. Other Canadian cities could " face the same situa- tion. The way we are going we could be a nation divided into regions, somewhat similar to some Central European countries. It is no longer the quiet little ex- istence that we have been us- ed to. The philosophy of Dr. Albert Schweitzer thatiseach of us in return for some good fortune in our, lives should reach out and -bring meaning into the lives of others also applies to one's doing, for his country. The bottom line is that it is the apathy of people that destroys communities and countries. What a pity it is that we Canadians take so much for granted. Yours sincerely,. Jim Steele.'.. Motorcyclists should wear proper clothing In 1982, 104 motocycle drivers and 22 passengers were killed on Ontario's streets and highways. Another 4,603 motorcycle drivers and 905 passengers were injured. rs The number of people licensed to drive motor- cycles in Ontario has more than doubled in the past ten years. However, less than 20 percent of new riders take structured motorcycle rider training and a substantial percentage of accidents in- volve inexperienced riders. The Ontario Safety League has established 32 centres throughout the province this year where the Canada Safe- ty Council's Motorcycle Rider Training course is available. Local motorcycle dealersshould be ' able - to direct you to the course nearest you. It makes sense to get quality instruction before exposing yourself to todays traffic conditions.

Substantial pants and jackets, gloves and boots can successfully reduce injuries. This is pure- ly common sense. Yet casual observance would indicate a growing popularity during sununer months for cut-off jeans, tee shirts and running shoes. Frequently passengers have been noted without any footwear what- soever. Without proper clothing even a minor spill could cause major injury.
