exceptional history of successful graduates
of registered nurses has been carried out in
at the Wingham school.
It's only six million
Isn't it strange how soon a federal
cabinet minister can learn to live
comfortably with the millions of dollars he
has to throw around in the course of a year?
Most ordinary folks would find their hands
trembling as they signed those enormous
cheques.
Take the case of Robert Andras,
president of the Treasury Board. When he
was asked lastweek' about costly errors in
government spending, he replied that the
mistakes added up to only $6.6 million. He
dismissed the whole affair lightly and added
that he doubted whether any of the money
would ever be recovered. In fact, he didn't
appear deeply disturbed, for after all a mere
six and a half million was peanuts compared
with total annual expenditures of $29 billion
by the federal government, he said.
Maybe it's peanuts to you, Bobby boy,
but it's hard-earned tax money to us — and it
was our money, not yours.
Can you imagine what would happen to
an executive of any big business firm if $6.6
million was lost in errors of judgement or
through lack of accounting competence? He
would have his resignation all typed out
before he ever admitted that mistakes had
been made. But in government it's different!
Then there is another cabinet minister
who gets impatient with reporters who ask
questionsbbout eight million dollars paid to
an agent in Israel. Mr. Gillespie doesn't
seem worried about paying that kind of
money to persuade South Korea to buy one of
our nuclear reactors — even though the
Koreans will probably have to borrow frm
us to make the payments.
Oh well, it's only money!
Here's something interesting
Anybody who takes a faint interest in
plants, whether indoors or outdoors, will be
fascinated by the possibilities of what is,
called "hydroponic gardening". As the word
suggests this is the growing of plants on a
diet of water which has been enriched with
plant foods.
Although the literature turned nut by the
manufacturers of the necessary equipment
tends to sound like propaganda, many
hobbyists have been thoroughly enjoying
this method of plant culture. Nor is the field
limited only to the common houseplants
which are normally raised in pots along the
window sill. Most garden plants, such as
lettuce, tomatoes, spinach and what have
you, have been successfully cultured in this
Way. In fact, the brochures claim that two of
their small growing tubs will produce as
much as 60 square feet of well -nurtured
garden soil and that the crops will have all
the fresh flavor one would expect from the
garden varieties — and do so three times a
year.
They also claim that such hydroponic
gardens produce much of the fresh food
needed in modern submarines and in
Russian space vehicles. They say that
water -fed gardens are now in extensive use
in desert lands such as Kuwait and North
Africa, where regular outdoor culture is
impossible. In fact, they claim that the
famed hanging gardens of Babylon were, in
fact, water gardens atop the buildings of that
ancient city.
The equipment required is not very
complicated, although fairly expensive. For
each four -foot growing unit there are two
plastic tubs which are filled with vermiculite
and topped with crushed stone. A reservoir
contains the required amount of water, to
which is added the plant food supplement. A
little motorized pump circulates the water
into the vermiculite base through plastic
tubes. Suspended above the planted area is a
regular four -floor fluorescent fixture which
also contains two small incandescent light
bulbs.
There is no mess. You could put the
whole rig in your living room as an
attractive attention piece, or you can go hog
wild and line all the walls in your basement
with the best of nature's products.
Whether or not these claims are
exaggerated or not we don't know, but we
intend to find out. We can't think of any
better way to forget that the first blade of
green grass won't be able to show its nose
above ground for another four or five
months.
Our defenses are down
As Canada faces the impact of devalued
dollars, high unemployment levels, continu-
ing inflation and the spectre of a possible
defection in Quebec we all have good reason
for worry. It is not good enough to say, "Our
country is young and strong. We'll be
alright." I
As in any other successful business
operation we must sit back and re -assess our
priorities — carefully examine what steps
come first on the road to national good
health. That examination must be done by
the voting public and they must make the
decisions. The greatest single weakness in
democratic self-government lies in the time
lag between expression of the citizens' will
and action by government to carry it out.
It is obvious, however that effective
leadership sways public opinion. For the
past 20 years Canada has been led by
outright pacifists. John Diefenbaker began
the process and was followed by Pierre
Trudeau who has proven even more opposed
to the defense needs of the nation.
Reluctantly the federal government has
approved the purchase of 18 long range
patrol aircraft at a cost of over a billion
dollars. Approval has also been Qiven for the
replacement of some of our outdated tanks
with modern Leopards from West Germany.
With only 78,000 all ranks in our armed
forces we don't have enough military
personnel to handle any defense job much
bigger than proving security at the Olympic
Games.
Drastic as is the shortage of modern
equipment, it is the disbanding of the old
regimental structures which worries our
defense people the most. Loyalties and
traditions of honor and courage are built up
in fighting units over long periods of time. In
case of any national emergency we would
find ourselves in desperate need of those
units which have long and proud histories of
service to their nation.
It all boils down to the question of what is
the best path to lasting peace. Obviously
some of our leaders still believe that the only
way is to throw away all our weapons. On the
other hand, many believe that a country
without defense capabilities is an open
invitation to aggression. Sad as it may be, it
is total folly to assume that 30 years of peace
between the big powers means that all the
swords have been beaten into plowshares.
