Editors note: The following is
an article submitted to the
News-Record by Miss Margie
Whyte of RR. 2 Seaforth
concerning her activities this
summer while involved with a
Toronto based non profit group
calling themselves Operation
Beaver. Miss Whyte is a fourth
year Science Student at the
University of Guelph.
OPERATION BEAVER
BY MARGIE WHYTE
I have never had such an
enriching experience as I did this
summer doing volunteer work in
P.E.I. with Operation Beaver.
My efforts were repaid several
times over in experience and
new understanding, though not
in dollars and cents.
Operation Beaver, a
Toronto-based-non-profit
organization, sends groups of
volunteers from all over the
world into communities
requesting help with some
project, the people feel are
necessary for the social, cultural
or economic development of
their community.
The aim is understanding—of
other people, other cultures,
other people's problems—just
"being people together"—as well
as completion of the actual work
project. "Beavers" face
frustration, discouragement,
friendship, and an unequalled
opportunity for communal living
away from their own home
environment.
This summer, seventy-six
Beaver volunteers were able to
work on ten different
projects—Charlottetown and
Inverness, P.E.I.; Mud Lake,
Labrador; Auden, Ontario;
Conklin, Alberta; Chetwynd,
B.C.; Fort George, Quebec;
Bequia, St. Vincent, W.I.;
Greneda, and France. Every
group of six to eight volunteers
worked on some sort of housing
expenses and board but not for
our work.
As I've just mentioned, my
Beaver group and project were
unique. We were the smallest
group of just three volunteers
and the only group to work in
an urban setting.
Marlene Hunt and Ken Dent,
both of Toronto, and myself
worked along with the six
members of the Social
Development Services
Committee (P.E.I. Tenants'
Union) of Charlottetown for the
months of July and August. I
learned so much about so many
things as we participated in a
different activity or project
practically every week.
For the first two weeks, we
helped fix up a country house
for a large family on welfare to
move into, after they were
evicted from their slum
townhouse in the city.
We helped the Union with
the first publication of a
monthly newspaper, The
Broad-Axe (motto: Hew to the
Line and Let the Chips Fall
Where They May.) The paper
was established because the
Tenants' Union felt that farmers,
fishermen, tenants, kids in court
systems and many others have
been denied access to the media.
In the first edition, articles were
presented delivering verbal
broadsides to all levels of
government, a discussion of the
changes in rural life due to farm
policy and a Landlord of the
Month Award to a "slumlord".
Several articles in the paper dealt
with welfare and regulations. It
urged welfare recipients to insist
on their rights.
During Old Home Week at
Charlottetown, we were busy
working in the booth at the
exhibition giving out pamphlets
on welfare and rental
regulations, discussing the role
of the Tenants' Union: as well as
constructing a float for the
parade.
And, for the last two weeks
we were involved in the NFU
action. During the Tractor
demonstration we passed out
leaflets to all motorists telling
them the reasons for taking such
action. Some of the placards
placed on the tractors were
indicative of some of the matters
which the NFU were protesting;
"Government wastes farm
budget on experts and offices."
"Campbell wants two out of
three farmers kicked out."
"Lower registration for farm
trucks." We also helped the
farmers conduct a "Free Food
Give-Away", at the Tenants'
Union office one afternoon.
Every weekend we visited
with the other eight P.E.I.
Beaver volunteers at Inverness.
This group consisted of an
Eskimo from Belcher Islands,
and other volunteers from
close race in
A survey conducted among
Waterloo Lutheran University
students regarding the upcoming
provincial election showed an
almost even voter preference for
the three parties.
Among those students who
said they intend to vote October
21 and indicated knowledge of
the candidates, 35 per cent said
they would vote for the New
Democratic Party.
Close behind were the
Progressive Conservatives with
33 per cent and the Liberal
Party with 32 per cent.
The survey was conducted by
Profs. John Redekop and
Conrad Winn of the political
science department. They
surveyed 1,400 students on a
random sample basis during
registration two weeks ago.
Jamaica, Connecticut USA,
Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario
and Quebec.
Inverness is located in the
northwestern section of the
island, and the married male
population of 20 is made up
largely of oyster and lobster
fishermen, with dependents
numbering nearly 100. Low
income has been a problem for
years, reflected in inadequate
deteriorating housing. So, this
summer, the Beaver group
undertook to make renovations
on a good number of the houses
in the community.
P.E.I. is a uniquely beautiful
province, with distinctive red
earth, inviting beaches and the
world's finest seafood. There are
many fields of potatos, clover
and daisies. And you couldn't
ask for friendlier people.
The main attraction in
Charlottetown is the
Confederation Memorial Centre,
which is a theatre, library and
art gallery in one massive
structure. We saw the three
excellent live musical
productions put on by the
Charlottetown Festival
Company—Anne of Green
Gables, Jane Eyre, and Mary,
Queen of Scots.
Working with Beaver means
exposing yourself to a different
mode of life. You can feel
yourself changing from day to
day. Every morning I was
curious to see what the day
would bring. It was exhilarating.
For me, this summer in P.E.I.
was a most enjoyable and
learning experience.

Operation Beaver but most
participants are students. For

election
Many samplings use fewer replies
in making political analysis.
In studying the returns, the
two professors said that
although a strong majority of
students indicated an intention
to vote, a probing of their
responses to a series of questions
about local candidates and
provincial leaders revealed
disinterest in the election,
"Consequently, my colleague
and I believe that only a bare
majority of students is likely to
vote and even that assessment
may be optimistic," Prof.
Redekop said.
"Among those students who
said they intend to vote and give
evidence of interest, there is
approximately an even
preference for the three parties."
When the results were broken
down further into the newly
enfranchized group of students,
those 18 to 20 years old, a
somewhat different pattern
resulted.
The 18 to 20-year-old group
showed a much greater
preference for the Conservatives,
with 37 per cent opting for the
government party, 32 per cent
for the NDP and 31 per cent for
the Liberals.
For those 21 and over, the
preferences were 38 per cent
NDP, 33 per cent Liberal and 29
per cent Conservative.
In interpreting the results, the
WLU professors asked
themselves how the students
would vote and agreed that
widespread apathy indicated in
the responses made any
predictions uncertain.
"Among the large number of
apathetic students — that is
those who answered the
questions in the survey but don't
intend to vote — the Liberal
Party was indicated strongly as
the party of their choice," Prof.
Redekop said.
Prof. Winn added that if the
Liberal Party catches fire, more
WLU students would vote
Liberal than either conservative
or ND?.
"This situation is not likely
to Occur, however, because
Ontario Liberals — students and
non-students alike — have
historically been relatively
apathetic in provincial
elections."
A more likely outcome, he
suggested, is a slight campus
plurality for the NDP, Ile felt
more students are likely to vote
for the New Democrats because
Bupperters of that party tend to
be older and more interested in
the election.
rrom their knowledge of
students at WLU both professors
had expected to find a greater
popularity for the Progressive
Conservative Party than was
indicated.
"We wore somewhat surprised
to find as much support for the
New Democrats as the survey
showed," Prof. Itedekop
"Its strength among the older
students was also somewhat of a
revelation."
Studded tires
The use of studded tires in
Ontario will be prohibited this
Winter, motorists were reminded
in an announcement issued by
the Department of
Transportation and
Communications,
The ban on further use of
studs was announced a year ago
after intensive testing showed
their effectiveness as a Winter
driving aid was minimal and they
caused serious general driving
hazards by grinding ruts into
pavement and obliterating lane
guide lines.
The use of studded tires was
first permitted in 1967 with the
understanding that studies
would have to be carried out to
assess the safety value in the
light of highway damage.
Investigations carried Out
after the Winter of 1969-70,
when approximately a third of
Ontario cars were equipped with
studs, disclosed ruts measuring
as much as half an inch after two
years of their use.
It also was observed that
pavement markers disappeared
on heavily-travelled sections of
highway within a matter of
weeks after the beginning of the
Winter season.
Authorities warned that
continued rut wear could cause
prohibited
drivers to lose vehicle control in
lane-changing and the loss of
pavement markers created a
serious hazard in night driving.
Tests carried out during the
Winter months of 1970 by the
Canada Safety Council and
Ontario Provincial Police found
that studs were most effective in
reducing stopping distance on
glare ice only when the
temperature was near the
freezing point.
The Canada Safety Council
carried out further tests last
Winter on Lake Timiskaming in
Northern Ontario to assess a
number of Winter driving aids.
Analysis confirmed the earlier
findings on studded tires.
