Where is Canada heading?
Daily we read in the papers
that some big corporations make
huge profits and still want to
raise their prices. We read that
labour unions are asking for
unreasonable high wages. It
appears to this observer that we
may be heading in the same
direction as Great Britain, by
pricing ourselves out of intern-
ational markets. That unfortun-
ate country has been balancing
on the brink of bankruptcy for
decades, primarily because
labour struck for any reason
at all. The same seems to he
happening here.
Multiple labour unions in one
industry makes it impossible for
that industry to have any prol-
onged labour peace. Even if a
contract is still valid, they
sometimes break it anyway,
because some other industry
negotiated a better deal. It used
to be that an efficient work-
force could demand more be-
cause of their efficiency. Now
they demand more because their
union is more efficient.
Countries like West Germany,
where the workers.show more
responsibility, have the lowest
rate of inflation in the world,
and those workers are better
off for it. What really bugs
me is that strikers can legally
force other workers off the job
as well. They are apparently
legally justified to refuse to
cross a picket line manned by
strikers, even if they are not
intended to take over the strick-
en jobs. It is a mess and it's
time that we. who suffer the
Plan seminar for
business people
A business management sem-
inar primarily for people int-
erested in small business will
be held near Hensall at the
Pineridge Chalet, on March 19.
Arranged by the Advisory Serv-
ices Department of the Indust-
rial Development Bank, the sem
inar will beone of several held
near Hensall at the Pineridge
Chalet; on March 19. Arranged
by the Advisory Services Depart-
ment of the Industrial Develop-
ment Bank, the seminar will
be one of several hundred cond-
ucted by the Bank in smaller
cities and towns across Canada.
Some 25 to 30 people 'interest-
ed in business are expected to
attend the seminar which will
consider financial statements of
a small business and the effect
that an expansion has on them.
The IDB, which was establish-
ed in 1944 as a subsidiary of the
Bank of Canada, makes loans to
businesses of all typed for a
variety of purposes. Almost half
of the bank's loans are for
$25, 000 or less and the bank
is especially interested in assist-
ing smaller businesses.
The advisory services depart-
ment of the bank publishes a
series of pamphlets on small
business management, provides
information of Federal assist-
ance programs available to bus-
inesses, organizes management
seminars and in other ways tries
to help business people to imp-
rove their management skills.
About people
Mrs. Myrtle Masse, of Zurich
celebrated her 81st birthday
an March 8. All her family
were present for the occasion,
consequences in loss of business
and in unnecessary higher prices
start protesting more vigorously.
Why should you and I suffer
because some union boss has
riled up his workers to a strike
fever, so he can justify his
astronomical salary? Thirty
ships are lying idle in Vancouv-
er Harbour, ready. to be loaded
with grain for needy people,
just because a few hotheads
refuse to weigh and grade the
grain. It's outrageous that thous-
ands of people face more threat
of starvation because a few
overfed people want more
money. When they go back to
work it will be the longshore-
men and after them the railway
engineers and then the railway
clerks. Government will do
nothing until we demand action,
