cups a day, thirty.five a 'week, 1820 a year?
Coffee was.Once a morning openetv
down break and a follow up after the meals
of the day: ,
Unfortunately coffee is fast becoming ati
extreme-lulu!, or for some ,„a tirt ajor •
expense in the weekly grocery budget.
'Most_of us-dependowthe satisfaction Of a
steathing cup of coffee especially first
thing,; to the morning liut we're. being
robbed dramatically. ,
•
Atl.„Inany of us, fedi the pressuire of
demanding inflation, let'S do Something
about it,
Why not abriycott? Many small •towns
and •cftiet have sfartee,t,heii own boycott
and-00,1,4e receiving,very -good response,
So let's start`onellere.
Next time-we spend-. one'quarter of our
„pay cheque on the groeery„stere,let that
coffee jar with.thehigh iztlee just sit on the -
Shelf.
It's easy, to walk right by thinking not, of
110V:.tupoli you will miss'that cup of coffee
~biit how' you're saving yourself some
money..Ate-also lid*" you're helping to
boycott a toe 'expensive product:
-I would really like to 'get this boycott, „
started. but I need Ytitit' helpi Let's put
forth "a real effort and alibi 0•Ab small towns •
and cities willbe joined to form a province -

There's More' than tone way tp
close a hospital. That's what former
proVincial health ' minister Frank
Miller hai been. telling us.
•But the portion of premier •Davis'
recentcabinet-shuffie which-took Mr.
Miller out of his job at Health, seems
• designed to make sure those ways to
close: hospitals don't get tested, at
least not until after, Ontario's not
totally' unexpected: upcoming.
Provincial election iS over.
The song and 'dance goes
something like' this. A government
appeal againtra court decision which
allowed four Ontario hospitals to stay
open, will be heard next week. Now,
in, case the government were to lose
the appeal and the courts rule that the
hospitals, can stay open; former health
minister Miller had another acedup his -
sleeve.
He •had, he's been saying for
months now, legislation ready—that
would alloW the government to -close
the hospitals.' And if the cabinet, did'
not agree, he'd resign the heatlh
portfolio. - •
But that whole mess has been,
neatly_avoided by the smart move; of
.Mr. Miller to the Natural Resourops
rni nistry.,.1whe re his_ talents will be
needed at least as badly as they were
in Health. •
Neither Mr. •Miller or the_
goVernment has to lose face if their
appeal is lost and the hospitals stay
open. The proposed legigtlation, the
ether way to ciose hoSPitals, can sit
quietly in limbo.
It looks very much like 'a smart
pre-electiop ploy. •
The-provincial Conservatives will
have all sorts of fight -the—
•hospital-olosing-Issue in that election.
Both opposition parties are • saying
-that they'll make the clos ings, an
issue. =
The Tories can take the wind out'of
that by saying "see we're not exactly
:committed to closing hosPitals now,
,we've taken Mr. • Miller out of
health." °
Having, robbed the" opposition
parties of• one potentially eXplosiVe
issue, they can go' on to' win their
election. They could conceivably win
by a much wider margin thatahey did
~ln '1975.
Then, witli„young; outspoken and
capable Dennis Timbrelf as minister
of health, the newly elected-
-Progressive . ConservatiVe
government can close all the hospitals
they'd like to. And that list is
probably a lot longer than four. '
