National communication will improve Canadian Unity
The communications of
Canadian unity was the topic
as Jack Burghardt, newly -
elected MP for London West,
addressed the spring
meeting of district 7 of the
Ontario Municipal Electric
Association. (OMEA).
The meeting was hosted by
the Exeter Public Utilities
Commission at the Legion
Hall, Wednesday.
History shows, Burghardt
said, to retain its vitality and
progress a nation must have
dialogue. Communication,
on a national level, is im-
portant as we, must be in
touch with each other and
listen to other's points of
view.
The crisis in Canada today
is due not only to self interest
and self concern, but also to
a narrow view of
regionalism, the former
CFPL-TV anchorman said.
There is no spirit of co-
operation and this creates
rigidity not flexibility of
attitudes.
Often he said, the only
hearing in communication is
on a basis of confrontation.
Provincial patriotism
violates the needs of national
justice Burghardt charged.
Attitudes inspired by self

interest and discontent
border on separatism, he
said.
There is however, a need
for all kinds of opinions the
MP said. The problem is not
solvable by 10 separate units
(provinces) squabbling and
people in politics need help
from everyone.
Canada has a proud
heritage founded by "ar-
chitects of freedom with
grand visions". He said we
must continue to ask our-
selves, "what kind of a
country do we really want?"
Burghardt stressed that
we must develop a national
outlook and not worry so
much about our own com-
plaints. "We must convince
ourselves," he said, "we
have our destiny in our
hands."
Burghardt's comments as
guest speaker topped the
evening's speakers but also
cut short a debate forming
on the future of electricity in
Ontario.
OMEA president Jim
Collins said a second power -
line was needed to carry
electricity from the nuclear
generating station at
Douglas Point.
The Bruce 13 station will be
ready to supply power by
1983 he said, but without a
second power -line, the
energy would be "locked -in"
at the station.
To avoid possible
blackouts in the future, the
line should be built. He said
government red tape was
one of the reasons for the
hold up.
Collins urged OMEA
members to contact their
provincial members of

parliament and lobby for the
installation of the second
power -line.
Huron -Middlesex MPP,
Jack Riddell, said the
provincial Liberals were
behind the OMEA 100 per-
cent.
But he went on to speak
about the Liberal's support
of an OMEA resolution
to Ontario Hydro
requesting Hydro put con-
servation op an equal footing
with supply in terms of
development and costs.
He said the Liberals are
putting an "honest effort
forward to support the
OMEA resolution.”
Riddell noted the govern -
ment was waiting on an
environmental impact
report on the second Bruce
line.
Murray Cardiff, MP for
Huron -Bruce, said everyone
agrees the new energy lines
are necessary.
"Most people feel the lines
are great," he said, "as long
as they run over somebody
elses property.
Cardiff reminded the
members the nuclear station
was not in the Huron -Bruce
riding, but any new power
lines from the station would
affect the area.
A representative from
Ontario Hydro, George
Burnette, said that from
looking at the men at the
head table, he knew enough
to shut -up and sit down.
Exeter PUC chairman
Murray Greene welcomed
the assembly and introduced
the head table.
Commission member,
Exeter Mayor Bruce Shaw
stressed the advantage
Ontario has in the variety of
sources of electricity the
province can use, in his
welcome from the town.
Approximately 65 PUC
members and employees
from area utilities attended.
Each was presented with a
bag of produce supplied at
cost or donated by local
producers and companies.

`Count yourself in'
on Census Day, June 3
You will see and hear the
message everywhere in the
days leading up to Canada's
national Census.
It will be advertised in
newspapers and on
television and radio. It will
be displayed on bank
counters, on wall posters in
offices, post offices and
stores.
"June 3 is Census Day.
Count yourself in."
Beginning on May 25,
Census Representatives will
drop off a questionnaire at
your home. You are ex-
pected to complete, as of
June 3, all applicable
questions on the form.
In larger urban areas the
completed questionnaires
are to be returned in the
postage -paid envelope
provided. In smaller centres
and rural areas question-
naires will be collected by
Census Representatives.
Householders will be advised
which method applies to
them. Approximately 70
percent of all the 1981 Census
of Population and Housing
questionnaires will be
mailed back and about 30
percent will be collected.
Less than one percent of the
population, those in remote
areas, will be enumerated by
interview.
About 34,000 enumerators,
1,895 commissioners or
supervisors, and 191 Census
Area Managers will be
recruited locally to conduct
the Census. Commissioners
will earn 84,350 for a late -
March to mid-July work
contract, and enumerators
will make between 85.65 and
$6 an hour in May and June.
"Over a four-year period
from 1980 to 1984, the
preparation, collection, data
processing and publication
of the 1981 Census is ex-
pected to cost about $95
million," says Statistics
Canada spokesman David
Roy. This works out to about
$12 per household, a saving
of about 20 percent from the
last major Census in 1971.
The 1981 Census has been
streamlined. There are 25
percent fewer questions than
in the 1976 Census, and only
one in five households in-
stead of one in three will be
required to answer the
longer 46 -question form.
Four fifths of households will
fill out a 12 question form.
By law, all information
provided on the Census
questionnaire is strictly
confidential and can be used
only for statistical purposes.
Severe penalties of up to
$1,000 in fines or up to six
months imprisonment or
both are provided for anyone
