This same 62 year old playboy now has the gall to stand at the Cenotaph in Ottawa on Armistice Day and lay a wreath. Wonder if he was muttering “suckers” under his breath at the same time. Ten years under this government has seen Canada go from an affluent united country to one with an $.83 dollar,. two million people out of work, and double digit inflation. To take peoples’ minds off this, he tells us only he can unify the country he dis-unified. He also wants a new constitution, but lets read what he wrote in 1968, in his book. “Federalism and the French Canadian” (Mac­ Millan of Canada) Quote - “In the last hundred years, however, this country and this constitution have allowed men to live in a state of freedom and prosperity, which though perhaps im­ perfect, has nevertheless rarely been matched in this world. Our Canadian constitution gives provinces the widest possible jurisdiction in matters of social security. In a great number of vital areas, and notably those that FIRST AID AT STEPHEN — Members of the Stephen Central bus patrol received first aid in­ struction from John MacDonald, area supervisor for St. John's Ambulance. Watching Faye Gaiser being bandaged by Mr. MacDonald are Peter Dearing, Barb Glanville and Lori Acton. T-A photo concern the development of particular cultural values, Quebec has full and com­ plete sovereignty under the Canadian constitution. It is a well known fact that the slightest change in the letter of constitutional law would be sufficient to annul a hundred years of con­ stitutional precedent and judicial decisions, most of which tended on the whole to favor the provinces. I should be surprised if real statesmen, given the facts of the problem, arrived at the conclusion that our constitution needed drastic revision:” End of Quote. It seems that the old China Hand, as he loves to call himself, speaks with a forked tongue. He claims to be a Socialist, and the N.D.P. who also claim labour’s support must admit that no Socialist country in the world allows union. We can recall how cumquat slouched at the Olympics in 1976 during the playing of “Oh Canada” and how Levesque stood with arms folded just recently both know that a resolution to make “Oh Canada” our official national anthem was tabled four times by the P.M. to date in the house, so that we don’t have an official national anthem. The coming election ap­ pears to me to be Canada’s last chance to throw out this inept gov’t. Should they, by a wild chance be returned with never know what hit them. Geo. E. Shaw Dear Editor I would like to express my disappointment in the recent statements made by Exeter Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor regarding county council’s decision to increase their grant to the Goderich airport. General aviation in Canada is suppressed suf­ ficiently by federal policy which obviously thinks in terms of money losers like Air Canada, without the help of people like Deputy Reeve MacGregor who seems to want to exercise non-support of the industry at the local level. An example of supporting an airport can be seen in Tillsonburg where im­ provements were locally funded. The dramatic in­ crease in corporate (business) aircraft movement there, has been the result, benefitting the area through stimulated local industry and perhaps attracting new firms simply because they could offer a good airport service. The airport actually shows a profit through sales of fuel alone to the business air­ craft. I make my living in the aviation industry, am an aircraft owner and pilot. I would hate to be put out of work and recreation because local politicians would rather sit on a few precious dollars than support an in­ dustry that in itself can support local business and employment. Alas, if aviation does die in Canada, I could always apply for welfare, funded by the county of course.

Evening DREAM A POSSIBLE DREAM r & Continued from page 4 you are struggling out with three heavy bags. Hotel clerks are almost invariably insolent, exuding the atmosphere that they are doing you a favour by letting you sign in. Can jockeys come squeal­ ing up to the front door of the hotel, jump out, hand you your keys with one hand while holding the other out, and disappear to let you, with your bad back, load the bags into the trunk. You can spend ten minutes looking for a clerk in a supermarket. You could spend the rest of your life looking for a porter at an airport. You can turn pur­ ple in the face waiting for service in a department store, while two clerks HJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllH Spice chat about their night out at the singles club, and a third burbles away on the phone to her boyfriend, Occasionally you get a genuine smile or a real thank you, but more often they are perfunctory or non-existent. Why? Is it that native-born Canadians feel themselves above the service trades, so that they take out their resentment on their customer. Is that why most jobs in these fairly lucrative trades are held by im­ migrants? Is that why our minority of good restaurants are operated by im­ migrants. Julie is right. The country is magnifi­ cent. But high prices, bad food and bad manners make it less than a paradise for travellers. • Nested Egg Storage • Deluxe Handle • Freezer Shelf • Juice Rack • Separate Temperature Controls • 17.1 Cu.
