Ontario is 95 percent con.
ered by medical insurance so
we could reduce our premiums
by nearly one-half, based on
Ottawa paying 50 percent of the
provincial average per capita
cost/less administrative costs.
The people east of Ontario are
not without medical care. Not
as many have insurance and
bills for the others are largely
paid personally. When a pro.
vince takes over paying the
bills under medicare it will col.
lect only about half as much

Canada's national. debt rose
by $4 billion to 15 1/2 billion
during the past 8 yeers. Bal.
ancing the budget is a desire

knowing that it means more
taxes if persevered. Universal
medicare was approved almost
unanimously by Parliament and
adding the cost for a couple
of years to the permanent nae
tional debt seems justified. That
this was the intention is a
reasonable conclusion. Ontario
recently budgetted for a $252
million deficit to be added to
its $3 billion gross debt due.

cher,
In reply to the 'lead story in
the News-Record of April 4,
I would like to point out that
many of us do live in the sure
rounding townships or villages
and towns and work in Clinton,
however I would like to point
out that this is not necessare
fly a money drain as we do
most of our grocery shopping
here, buy furniture and ape
pliances and eat in the local
restaurants.
If we own our own homes and
live in Hayfield, Brucefield,
Holmesville or Londesboro or
the surrounding townships, we
are paying taxes to Central
Huron Secondary School. If we
rent, our landlotds are per.
imps supporting the same
schools.
Many non-residents have
looked for housing in the town
and have found it hopelessly
inadequate. Many of the homes
for sale or rent are old and in
need of major repairs, and
people moving to town from
cities or ' more progressive
neighbourhbods have found
better housing in the surround.
ing areas. I personally feel that
Clinton lacks good accommocla.
tion for renting and as Mr,
Winter says, something should
,be' done about it.
I would also like to poirit out
that the local contractors seem
to be building homes and cote
tages along the lakefront near
Bayfield, which means a re.
verse in the money drain. In
checking with a number of
people in my vicinity I find
that there are several. Clinton
citizens wending their way to
Hensall, Ooderich and Seaforth
every morning and seem to find
more lucrative employment in
these towns. Also 1 recently
had occasion to be in Goderich
on a Friday afternoon and many
of the townsfolk from Clinton
were doing their weekly shop-
ping in that town. „, I am told
the same holds true of Hen,.
sail, Some folks say prices
are better in these towns, if
this is so perhaps our mere
chants should ask the question

Friday night's five ,hour televising
of the speeches, of the' candidates for
the Prime ministership of Canada Must
surely have been the dullest viewing of
the season,
• CBC and CTV did their best, the
actors were fully capable, the event
was as dramatic as Hollywood's beet,
but there was 'definitely, .something
lacking in originality of scripti. In fact,
had it not been for the far too infre-
quent interjections of commentary on
the ravaging of several, United States
cities, the whole thing could have been
unbearably dull. Instead it was bear-
ably dull.
The roles of co-stars Hellyer, Mar-
tin, Winters, Turner, Kierans and Mac-
Eachen could easily have been inter-
' changed with no observable difference.
Their, soliloquies, a babble of
banality tied together with hopeless
cliches, all airived, in the same dogmatic
flurry..
"Today we must toil to create a
Tomorrow which will reach the expecta-
tions of our destiny," they all said. "To-
gether we can work to form a united
Canada. Forward we will go, grasping
firmly and uncovering fully, the bounti-
ful blessings of wealth bestowed upon
this wonderful country."
And on they went, uttering, mut-
tering and spluttering statements as de-
visive and indecisive as evasive.
J. J. Greene managed to capture
the audience in one act With a fine dis-
play of warm humor and outright ora-
torical talent.• In fact he Wins the Oscar
as "best orator among nine men read-
ing the same script."
P. E. Trudeau could have been
runner-up for the award if for no reason
other than he talked instead, of shouted.
But this.speech was somewhat different
and he couldn't qualify. He deviated by
spending half his allotted time telling
the delegates how good it was of them
to come—rather like 'a slightly embar-
rassed host at his own birthday party.
It is unfortunate the men who
aspired to the leadership of this country
could find nothing new, different, or,
exciting to say. It is unfortunate they
chose to speak in generalities, leaving
the millions of viewers wondering how
they were going to achieve the marvels
of their policies.
Perhaps it is' because the Conser-
vative convention Was so close 'that
the • same old phrases seemed to keep
popping up.
Perhaps by The time the next con-
• "What's the matter with these
kids today?" dozens of men and wo-
men mutter every night as they aim-
lessly lounch about the house occasion-
ally eating and intermittently viewing
a TV documentary on free love and
plentiful pot in Yorkville. .
The answer to their rhetorical
question has a lot to do with too many
parents wasting away theirlives, even-
ing after evening, rarely attempting to
improve the situations which they con-
tentedly criticize.
When the parents in this town
can't even keep a Brownie or Girl Guide
organization going on a ,regular basis
it does not take, much insight to figure
out where to lay the blame.
Two years ago Mrs. George
Wonch resigned from the Brownies.
She felt, having worked with the organ-
ization for 10 years, it Was time some-
One else took up the reins and did their
share of the works No one was interest-
ed in doing their share. The girls organ-
izations fell apart and have been' in-
vention arrives all the cliches will be
forgotten. Rather' like seeing a mediocre
movie on television years after viewing
it in the theatre—something sounds the
same• but it is still hard to figure out
where the plot will lead.
operative for the past two years.
Now the Brownies are ready to
start up again—and who is the'leader
Mrs. Wonch of course. And she has had
to work.`hard just to find three women
who will assist her.
For no reason other than the total
apathy of Clinton mothers, the Guides
are still defunct. Not one of hundreds
of Clinton mothers is willing to stray
from her secure comfortable living
room once a week to give leadership
to teenage girls.
Unless the' Cubs get some volun-
teer aid they too will be throttled 'by
apathy. Their two leaders, both 10
year men,.are submitting their resigna-
tions. Their reasons sound familiar—it •
is about time someone else did some of
the work.
So should Clinton's neglected
young men follow the path of hundreds
of wayward wanton youths—to York-
ville—and the young ladies the same
path—to immorality—only one 'signifi.,
cant question need be asked, "Who is
irresponsible?"
