From
My Window
The darndest people are upset
because there are some indicat-
ions that the baby bonus may
be terminated in an attempt to
halt inflation in Canada.
Now, don't ask nie why
politicians have chosen to cut
expenses through the baby
bonus or I'm apt to ask you a
question like "Why not for good-
ness sake?"
That's right. Why not cut out
the baby bonus? Although I'm
just as pleased as anyone else
when the baby bonus arrives
on the 20th of each month, 1
still ask why it should he retain-
ed favour of other vital servies.
Or maybe those who oppose
the Trudeau government's
suggestion regarding baby bonus
are among those dunderheaded
idiots who clamor for increased
government expenditures and
ewer taxes. Now that would
be an accomplishment of some
magnitude, wouldn't it?
You're not quite that foolish
en? Ycu actually realize the
country can't continue to
spend more than it takes in.
You ar.2 read) to admit it is
just possible that a federal
government budget is basically
the same as a grocery budget -
if You are allotted $25 per week
and you are spending $35 time
and time again, you are soon
in trouble. Either you don't
have the stoney to pay the fuel
and the hydro, or you have to
cut back the nice little frilly
extras, like habysitters and
booze and new clothes and gas- .
cline and similar luxury items.
Or, if you have grown so accust-
omed to the better things in
life, you may chose to omit
certain convenience foods like
instant chocolate for the milk
and whipped topping for the pie
and fresh fruit for the salad or
cream for the coffee.
Ycu get the picture. Compton

time.
Prime Minister Trudeau isn't
going to be a popular loan with
the voter, I suppose, but he
should be. He's the first prince

"Make It Look Better Than New"
By Shirley Keeler
told the people the truth, like
it or lump it•
Says Trudeau, "I'm telling the
country we can't fulfill all the
expectations, We have to find
money to pay for them, and,
because we don't want to raise
taxes indefinitely, we're going
to curtail expenditures and cut
hack some of the programs."
Those wc.rds I can understand.
The man has finally shown me
his worth and I'!n impressed.
I was getting pretty weary of
the sante old gobbly-gook most
politicians use - either Marne
the trouble on the other parties
or give the people the run
around about the projected fig-
ures and the gross national
product, or some such garbage.
But what really grabs me ab-
out this whole thing is the kind
of people who are most con-
cerned about the possible demise
of the baby bonus.
The loudest complainers are
folks who are making plenty of
money to feed and clothe their
youngsters without a government
subsidy.
A few hoots hnd hollars are
corning from people without a
child or a chick to support, and
of course, there are cries from
the die-hard Tories who pre-
dicted lunacy when the Liberals
first introduced legislation and
now who foresee dire disaster
at the first hint of the program's
end.
It would he interesting to take
a study on the ways the baby
bonus is spent each month in
the average family across
Canada.
Sonie families stash the month-
ly endowment in the baril< each
month and then gloat over the
great sacrifice they have made
on the child's behalf,
Some monis and dads use that
dgift to pay for a monthly wing -
ing with the kids getting heart -

This year's cars at less than last year's prices.
You already know where most prices are going. Up. So
you'd naturally expect the brand-new '69 cars shown
here to cost a lot more than last year. Fact is, many
cars in this year's line-up from Chevrolet cost less,
much less, than last year's models. For instance, the
2 -door Impala, equipped with power disc brakes,
Turbo Hydra-matic transmission, whitewalls,
wheel covers and head restraints, plus a bigger
motor than last year, is yours for $120.50* less
than last year's figure. And comparable savings
are waiting for you on many Nova,
Chevelle and Camaro models. In
other words, you can buy many
of this year's cars at less than
last, year's prices. Which is
what putting you first is all
about. From the top, Chevy
Nova, Chevelle Malibu,
Camaro and Impala.
