I don't know why there are always those people who get so worked up over the most insignificant things... but it happened again this time and I doubt that too many of us were surprised. There was a great deal of dis- cussion as most of you are aware, pro and con, concerning whether or not Trudeau would be wel- comed in London, Ontario, for the annual Remembrance Day services. Some said that Trud- eau hadn't served in the war, although he would have been old enough at the time, and he had no place at the cenotaph. Suchsilliness. I have no idea in the world why Pierre didn't march off to war with a good many other boys his age, but I do know that in almost every community of this great land of ours, there were those who went and those who didn't. But they all remember. The thing which struck me most about Trudeau's visit to our neck of the woods (aside from his hair which I personally feel doesn't do a great deal to imp- rove his looks) was the speech he made in Petrolia. By golly that was a dandy speech, if what you read in the newspapers is true. As always, Trudeau and I see eye to eye on the import- ant issues. You have no idea what that does for my confid- ence in myself. Trudeau just put into very plain and simple terms what I've been preaching through this col- umn and every other editorial - type thing I have written over the years. He said it is about time people stopped crying on the government's shoulder to do something about inflation and something about the lack of jobs for our people. It is high time that people started to do some- thing themselves. As Trudeau puts it, we've priced ourselves right off the world markets, .. and it is damn well true. That's the result of this vicious circle we've been running in for the past decade or so. Increase the wages then increase the price of the prod- uct to the consumer so that the margin of profit to the manu- facturer stays high. Then inc- rease the wages again and up the price of the merchandise another time. Nobody calls a halt... nobody that was until just recently when that dirty, dastard- ly dimwit (that's American for dumb) President Richard Nixon finally used his head and said, NOTICE to the ratepayers of the AY The second instalment of the TOWNSHIP of HAY 1971 TAXES are due and payable on or before NOVEMBER 30, 1971.

I think Nixon made the right move at the right time, even if it does affect Canadian markets adversely. We'll recover. But back to Trudeau. He also told the kids at Petrolia to get up off their fannies and hustle. That, man, is my kind of lang- uage. He warned the youth of this country that the government of Canada could not promise everyone the kind of job he or she wants to do. There are just so many extra -special jobs going in this country and it will be the most aggressive and the best trained who will get them. That's what I've been trying to tell my children. "You've got to have an edge, " I tell them whenever I have them captive, like in the car. "You've got to have everything that everybody else has and then you have to have something extra. You have to have ambit- ion and drive as well as ability and talent." Pierre said that about the best anyone could promise the youth of this country is that things wouldn't get too unbearable for them. Things might never be perfect if they choose to take the slinkers way out of it, but things would never become ab- solutely intolerable because of' welfare and unemployment in- surance and pensions and family allowances. In other words, the govern- ment could do little more than take the sting out of it for those with the attitude that the world (or the government in modern day terminology) owes them a living... and a roof over their heads and food in their mouths and a three-week vacation an- nually and a color television and a bottle of booze every Sat- urday plus a luxurious car which is too expensive for the average man to buy because the price reflects our mode of living in Canada. Yes sir, I think Trudeau is right. For people to sit around an wait for the government to create more jobs and open more markets without being behind them one - hundred percent is like asking your husband to get more money on hand so you can spend more.. and then crabbing when he's out every night working and not hom to talk to you.
