:As Canadians become Increasingly
beset by rising inflation levels One
might logically expect that the coun-
try's. federal government would neve
as its chief concern the protectionof its
private citizens. The vast majority of
our members of parliament represent
not corporate giants, but individual
voters — those people who must meat
their everyday obligations on moderate
Incomes.
That Is not, however the way It
works. The prices Canadians pay fOr
the goods and Services available to
them are governed, In large part, by
big corporations (many of whose
policies are determined abroad) and by
government -appointed regulatory bod-
les which need not concern themselves
too seriously with the wishes and needs
of conateriers:

100 tons of silver, gold, gems,

more than 300 lives.
Treasurer hunter Burt

time and money, and faith,
vowed to give up, that is,

rekindled his dream and
revitalized the search, At.the

a wild-goose chase suddenly
turned into the goose that
laid the golden egg.

Today's Child
by Helen Allen
Just to look at Tommy you know he's a fun -loving boy.
At lOyears old, he's an adventurous youngster who loves
to climb and has lots of scars from his daring exploits,
including one on his cheek which will likely need reparing
by plastic surgery.
An easy going youngster who loves to tell or listen to
funny Stories and make Jokes, Tommy is OjibwaY In
descent and registered as an Indian. He loves •cumping
and swimming and arty kind of sports, especially hockey.
Though average in ability, Tommy is behind in sch001 due
to poor attendance earlier in his life. Hp nApdg parents
who will be ready to help him with school work but who
will not put pressure on hint academically. • ,
This lively boy gets on well with children of any age and
grown-ups find him good company, so he would fit well
into a busy, fun -loving family either as an only child or
the youngest or anywhere in the middle.
To inquire, about adopting Tommy, please write to
Today's Child, Ministry-ofCommunity and Soeitil Ser-
vices, Box , Station X Toronto, Ontario, M4P 2112. In
your letter tell something your present family and Your
way of life.
