In very poor taste
The Ontario civil servants' association is
making a strong bid to gain the right to
strike in support of wage demands. That ef-
fort is commendable in many ways. Thisis a
free country; supposedly, and that freedom
permits every man and woman the right to
open expression of opinion.
• The association has been paying for a
very costly advertising campaign to
convince the electors of Ontario that the civil
servants are underpaid and overworked.
Although it is again within their rights to
state their case if they Wish to do so, at least
one of their advertisements is in grossly bad
taste and has injured their cause in some
quarters. That advertisement in both the
print and broadcast media starts off with the
words "Bili Davis is a cheapskate".
Although Premier William Davis is a
powerful individual, it is hardly likely that
the present law which regulates the employ-
ment of civil servants of this province was
written by that one man or enforced by him
alone. He happens to head a party which
secured the majorityof seats in the last elec-
tion
lection and has, therefore, the right to pass
whatever laws it deems fit and which will be
approved by a majority of the members of

'It's a lonely life at the top.
Especially for those who take up
politics. And British politicians
must be arn,ong the loneliest
people in our community.
Here's a sad, sad story to make
you weep over the fate of one of
our top drawer politicians. So get
out you handkerchiefs. Ready?
When former British Prime
Minister EDWARD HEATH was
defeatedat the poles last
February he had ,to vacate the
official P.M.'s residence at No: 10
Downing Street. But as a
bachelor he had nowhere to go.
True, ,:HAROLD WILSO��T
, in-
coming premier didn't need No.
10 to live in: As former Socialist
prime minister he had resided at
No. 10 but it was widely reported
that neither he nor his wife Mary
liked living there. Besides they
had other accommodation. And
with a wide choice who in their
right mind would choose No. 10?
But even if No. 10 were to be
left vacant you simply couldn't
have the Leader of the Opposition
living in the prime minister's
the Legislature.
Many people in Ontario are not head-
. over -heels in love with everything the
present government has done, but not too
many of us would be so ignorant as to blame
MI our discontent on the leader of that gov-
ernment alone, much Tess descend to per-
sonal name-calling. If the civil servants are
so fed up with• the conditions of their employ-
ment why don't they resign and accept em-
ployment with someone.else. Heaven knows
there are Tots of jobs elsewhere that need to
be filled. It would seem very plain to most of
us that the civil servants have a very lenient
employer if They can get away with calling
the boss a cheapskate.

residence. Heath simply had to r
go.
. But as I've already said herd, ' e
nowhere: to go to.
Besides it' was such a
short
time since he took possession' of ,
his 100,000 dollar yacht "Morning
Cloud." And as any working*
man knows you simply can't
afford a new yacht and a new
house in the same year!
But poor Mr. Heath has
wealthy friends. So when he had
to get out of No. 10 one of those
friends turned up trumps.
You simply couldn't have
Britain's former Premier going
homeless. Not like the young
Scottish newlyweds ARCHIE (17)
and PAT (16) FERRIER from
Dunfermline who spent the first
few months of married life this
year living in derelict houses and
telephone *kiosks because there
was no room for them in their
home town's housing estates, -
So SIR TIMOTHY KITSON
offered Edward Heath a home in
his Thames -side flat. But now
he's on the move again. The
Kitsons, living in cramped
conditions down the road, want to
move back. So Ed Heath must
move out.
But while like the newlywed
Ferriers, Heath may have no
home, unlike them he's not • •
without influence. So on the day
he moved out of Kitson's he
moved into the Belgravia honmeie
Wilton Street provided for him by
the DUKE OF WESTMINSTER
at 60 dollars a week.
As the papers say "The plight
of homeless Mr. Heath has been a
source of amusement among
MPs at Westminster."
PERSONALLY I THINK IT'S A
REAL TEAR JERKER!
PS. The yacht "Morning Cloudy:
was wrecked at sea in the freak
gales that lashed the British
Coast early September, and two
of her crew were drowned:
Fortunately Edward Heath was
not on board. Fortunate') too
within a week he received 112,000
dollars compensation from the
insurance company. Enol 00

home.
