Editor's Corner
This holiday weekend we celebrate Canada's
115th birthday.
Most Canadians are celebrating with ml.xed
emotions. They are happy and grateful for all
Canada has meant to them in the past, but many
are justifiably apprehensive about the future.
We thank God for this land of opportunity but we
must also be aware that because of individual
greed and self-seeking politicians, Canadians
could become a people of missed opportunity.
In an effort to arrest the downward spiral of
the economy, the Federal Government has put a
limit on wage increases this year of 6% for
all government employees, and has asked the
private sector to do likewise. I can appre-
ciate Labour's discontent, but we must start
somewhere, sometime. Union leaders who are
opposed to wage restraint do not have the good
of the country or their members at heart.
Unless we pull out of the recession or depres-
sion we are in, the first ones to suffer will
be more and more workers. It shouldn't take
too many brains to see that.
Macho statements by well paid and well fed
union leaders do not serve the best interests
of the membership.
While the Government is asking sacrifices of
labour they should be prepared, unless they
want social unrest of unprecedented propor-
tions, to limit giant utilities like Ontario
Hydro, Union Gas, and Bell Telephone to a like
6% limit in price increases.
The burden of lifting the Country out of its
economic malaise must be shared by everyone,
including of course the most guilty of all
parties, the Federal Goverlment, who have
bought power by giving away the tax -payers'
money like there was no tomorrow.
This is no time for silly pride, no time
to say that I won't be the first, no time to
waste time. It is time to get on with it and
make the sacrifices necessary to make this
country move forward again.
The salaries paid professional athletes is
something that defies reason and is a factor
that makes all of us think that money is
losing its value.

BAYFIELD'S COUNTRY BAKERY
Bayfield is going to have a bakery: Horst
and Gerry Bornath are going to open a bakery
on Main Street across from the Albion Hotel.
When they made the decision to have an old
fashioned bakery in the Village they expres-
sed hope and confidence that it will provide
a needed service to the entire community.
HURON CENTENNIAL SCHOOL GRADUATION
Tuesday. June 22
The gym was carefully decorated with flowers
and wall designs. The tables neatly placed
and meticulously set. At 7 p.m, the staff,
the grade 8 graduation class and their parents
gathered for dinner, the presentations of
diplomas and awards and a 'farewell' sing-
song. A lot of work went into the graduation
night but it was all worth it.
One city parent observed how common sense
prevailed. There was no dance or pretense of
making instant adults out of these young people
like so many urban grade 8 graduation celebrations.
It was a wholesome fun evening shared by the
three parties concerned in the educational
process.
Why a man, any man, should be paid fifteen
million dollars to play a game and strike out
like the rest of us, is a cultural disgrace and
a mockery of human priorities. Until this
kind of nonsense is addressed by those responsible,
the fires of greed will be hard to smother, and
requests for restraint will ring a little
hollow for many.
Labour will have a reason to rebel if executives,
professionals, and others in the economy do not
share equally in our struggle for recovery.
