The Wingham Advance-Times, 1984-04-11, Page 23Inge 65-'m CYOsgreeds—April 1t, 1 I .am aware of the fact that the aircraft lnduatry is a:aeu- sitive one, and that what happens to it, matters in a unique way to the whole - country. John Diefenbaker's decision to cancel the Avro Arrow punched nerves from one coast to the other. I have thqught more than once that it Oas oneof the most visible turning points in the way that Canadians have come to think of themselves. We were proud and confi- dent after the Second World War. In those days, the 20th century did look as if it might belong to Canada. Since then, we have had to face up to the fact that we no longer play the best hockey. Regionalism and separatism haveraised their ugly heads. Development and invest- ment have slowed to a point where the economy is almost at a standstill. The armed forces have fallen into disre- pair. A million and a half Canadians are out of work. The fact that we have our own constitution hasn't really helped. We have come to think of ourselves as second class. I think some of that feeling dates from the Avro Arrow, so I can understand some of the government's sensitivity about Canadair. It is not just that four thousand jobs are at stake. In a way, what also is at stake is our image of ourselves as a competitive, self-sufficient, modern coun- try. The jobs alone do not justify the government pro- posal to prop the company up with $1.35 billion of our money. Unless there's a screw loose in my pocket calculator, that works out to a cool' $337,500 for every blessed job, every worker. And the proposal to bail out Canadair guarantees noth-• ing. All the government is sug- gesting is that if the com- pany is relieved of its debt load, then potential purchas- ers of the plane on which the company is pinning its hopes, the Challenger Executive jet, will feel confi- dent that the aircraft they are buyingtoday won't . be- come the Edsel of tomorrow. A dubious proposition at best. Canadair is confident that if the Edsel factor is re- moved from the picture, that it will be able to sell fifteen Challenger jets annually. creams of laughter have been the aircraft industry's response. The point is, ap- parently, that the market for the executive aircraft at the moment is very soft, and the Challenger costs. $13 million a copy. It's not as if the government's judgment about the aircraft is entirely untarnished. The Lockheed Aurora, which the Defense Department bought to re- place the Argus, is giving them trouble: The F-18 is so sophisticated that it, too, looks like a ground crew's nightmare. Why should anyone believe what Senator Jack Austin tells us about the potential of the Challenger? Why didn't Canadair build something to replace the Argus? What makes the government think it should prop up a company which has proved, for what- ever reason, that it is not vi- _ abJe9 Wheredoes the government get the nerve to suggest spending another $1.35 billion, when it's sup- posed to be holding the line? I'm not waiting for an- • savers,. you understand. I'm past expecting them. BOOK REVIEW ENTERTAINING SATAN. Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England. By John Putnam Demos. Oxford University Press, Toronto. am) pp. $34.95. Reviewed by - PERCY MADDUX The witchcraft craze which hit Salem, Mass., in 1692 was the high point of witchcraft delusion in New England, but that was not the end of it. John Putnam Demos ana- lyzes the social and psycho- logical conditions of early New England in respect to the attitude of the people to- wards witches, both men and women, in his lengthy book "Entertaining Satan". This is a scholarly study but not an exciting one. In- deed, Salem is left -out of the consideration. A number of individual cases are discuss- ed at length and some secu- lar history is related. This is a work for the seri- ous student rather than for readers seeking dramatic in- terest. } • .:?i:'ui'J:c;'.. 5?,e�e.'�f�...•iau 'f.;c:a:�'S�'fiiiQi I,. f ���_uaL�� �V�1/• 4 " is 1 SPECIAL!
