HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1983-03-23, Page 7Short Sho t,ss by Evelyn Kennedy Ales - When someone assaults you with angry words remember - a soft answer turneth away wrath. Will he? Won't he? At time of writing Premier William Davis had not tossed his hat into the ring to engage in the fray for the Tory leadership. Nor has he shut the door on that possibility. He seems to be thoroughly enjoying being a teaser, keeping everyone (those who care about what decision he makes) playing a guessing game. The controversial Canadian films, "If You Love This Planet" and two others on "Acid Rain". leaped into instant fame when President Reagan of the U.S. declared them foreign government propaganda. Politicians and citizens in both countries were outraged at his labelling. The films that had not created much interest prior to that declaration were in demand in both countries. Reagan's action gave them greater publicity than they would otherwise have had. Groups in Canada and the U.S. have arranged showings that attract full crowds to learn what they are all about. Perhaps the outcome will be pressure on Reagan "and his government for more cooperation with Canada in anti-nuclear activities and the acid rain probrem. ******* What next? We have become accustomed to hearing about people being kidnapped but - dognapping. A man in Vancouver has dognapped his estranged wife's Maltese terrier and is holdin'g it for ransom. He is demanding 53000 for the return other pet and has threatened to cut off the dog's paws and mail them to her if she docs not pay. The amount of the ransom, the lady has said, matches the amount she took from their joint bank account when th'v split ,'' H." businessman husband, she said, is a vindictive person and would do just what he threatened if she does not pay. It is hoped she can raise the money or that the police can rescue her dog begfore that happens. Who could bear the theaight of such cruelty to a loved pet?

Provoked into threats by President Reagan's and NATO plans to begin deploying cruise missiles in Europe by the end of the year the Soviets are angry. A top Russian official has warned that if that is done Russia would not only add to their missiles in Europe but deploy them near the U.S. border. That is interpreted by Western analyists to mean nuclear -tipped rockets in Cuba. Can we expect Reagan to pull back and the Soviets to withdraw their threat? It seems some people are determined to bring us, repeatedly, to the brink of a devastating nuclear war. **am** Did you see the Toiler Cranston special "The Magic Planet" last Thursday evening? It was a spectacular fantasy on ice that could only have been dreamed up by the creative brain of our imaginative world -famed Cana- dian figure skater Toiler Cranston. In addition to Toiler other skilled performances took prominent parts as well as many other skaters, also singers and dancers. Costumes were beautiful, fantastic and fearsome. Cranston took us, as an astronaut. to a mysterious planet, into the clouds, and with smoke and flame to the depths of the evil one andhis minions. The lighting effects were brilliant and amazing. Throughout was his love triangle with a lovely lady of the Magic Planet. It was a spectacular that one would not expect to see on ice.

People are asking us a very important question! How much are we really paying for our cars? Lately interest rates have become a gimmick - to sell new cars.
