We're no longer first
Canada is now rated the second-best country in the world
to live in - not the first as it was last year. Canada now .sits
behind Japan on that prestigious list of countries where
standards of health, education and creature comforts are the
measuring stick.
Still, life in Canada is exceptionally good compared to some
other places around the globe. Canadians only need to turn on
their televisions to see the misery and suffering of people all
over the world who exist amid hunger, thirst, filth, terror and
hopelessness.
Maybe it's been too good for too long in Canada..Maybe
that's what's wrong. Maybe Canada is just going to have to slip
further and further toward the • bottom of that roster of
distinction before citizens begin to understand the enormity of
Canadian stupidity. .
In the midst of a national financial crisis . in a time when
the provinces of Canada are facing bankruptcy and certain
devastation - Canadians are absurdly clinging to the programs
that have brought them to the edge of ruin.,
Nobody wants to give an inch. Each of us wants our world
to remain stable and safe. •
We can point to the inequities. We know the solutions. But
when the rhetoric is exhausted, and the resolutions rest in
change that . will affect our personal. bailiwick, we stand
together and protest.
Are. Canadians so dumb that they don't realize governments
can only do what people will allow them to do?
Are they so thick they don't see that 'the standard of living
of all Canadians is about to be lowered? Do they not grasp the
advantages . of making choices voluntarily? Can't they
comprehend that it will be less pallatable by far if the
decisions are externally imposed through crisis? -
The future for Canada is bright, but first the country must
deal with its current debt emergency. Canadians can deny
themselves willingly or have impoverishment thrust upon
them. Which option do you like? - SJK

Lucknow wins at Paisley - There was a fine
exhibition of League baseball at Paisley on Thursday
of last week when Lucknow won from the Paisley
team by a score of 9-7. The game was close and
keenly contested from start to finish, though for some
time it looked as though Lucknow was going to have
an easy victory.
At the end of the first half of the seventh inning
the score was 7-2 in favor of Lucknow. But in the
second half there were some sensational happenings
and- the Paisley boys crossed the home plate 5 times
in quick succession. Thismade a tie, 7-7. In the
eighth inning, Lucknow scored twice, and the 9th
passed off without incident; thus leaving the final
score 9-7.

Dear Editor:
We, • the Dungannon Senior
Citizens - and patrons . of the
Canadian Imperial Bank of Com-

the closure of this branch as of July

travel a much greater distance.
As Seniors, many of us do not
have the time nor the transportation
as this also pertains to those who
travel by horse and buggy.
Village merchants have signature

add your name.
Signed on behalf of the Dungan-

Sincerely,
