acre** the pirovin+ce met Mr, Trucleaau at a
wadi press conference in Toronto last Fri-
day after. nio n and: poured questions in his dlr
rection, lis responses were coop measured
and enlightening..
Our personal impression was, strongest
In regard to his evident intention of main-
.taining the present "guideline combat
inflation for ns long as he end d govern-
ment consider them necessary and benefi-
cial to theeconomic visitor* of the nation.:
We believe that ,ter. Trudeau intends to wait
out protests end strikes until Canaadians,
generally, have attained as new habit of self-
restraint, at which time he will consider it
safe to remove the restrictions.
The prime minister denied that the Im-
position of government control ait this point
Is a change of stance, despite the fact that as
recently as early sureimer he was still op-
posed to an enforced form of inflation con-
trol. Rather he maintains that he still disc
likes this sort of legislationand that its
enactment was forced 'upon a reluctant gov-
ernment by the continued mounting infla-
tionary trends,
The great question before Canadians
across the land is, "Will it work?" The
Canadian Labor Congress,) representing an
alliance of some two m it lion workers, has de-
clared through its president, Joe Morris,
that organized labor will.. fight the :wage in-
crease limitations with every. "legal" means
at its disposal. Elementary school teachers
in London have declared they will fight for a
40 per cent wage increase despite the gov-
ernment`' 10 per cent limit.

and Continue to' increase profits. M
Trudeau calmly responds that the. delrt-
ment Of national memo, On, and -will detect
y s +ch practices and .that some ibusinesfs
leaders will lend in fall unless they toe the.
line.
Almost every individual in the lend can
find good reason to dislike the limitations
which are set by the new control measures.
But, on the other hand, evary'0$11401101 must
surely realite that unlimited inflation would
be infinitely more paainful. A wogs increase
of 25 per cent is meaningless If the purchas-
ing power of the dollar declines by 40 per
cent.
Nor is the declining value of' the weekly
pay cheque the worst Of the Ills created by
galloping Inflation. Even more serious is the
effect which such economic conditions •
" create in relation to the other countries with
which we do business. As wages and corn.
modity prices rise In Canada, • our export
goods become so expensive that other no-
tions seek to fill their needs elsewhere. The
ultimate result is a balance of payments so -
totally weighted against Canada that we
would be forced to shrink back to the trading
practices of .pioneer -type self-sufficiency.
The prime minister readily acknow-
ledged that some of the basin regulations
proposed in the guidelines may require al-
teration as time goes on, but . ,t ,no point in
our interview with hiin.. rq , , ;;. deviate
from the determination to these
controls as long as necesSack. � ;the re-
peatedly pointed out, their effec ss will

dians are ready to co-operate. •
Fresh assault on violence
An important international meeting was
held last week in Toronto's Royal . York
Hotel. It was the annual meeting of the Audit
Bureau of Circulations, a 60 -year-old organi-
zation of people concerned about print media
advertising and made up not only ofnews-
paper publishers, but advertising agency
people and representatives of the thousands
of businesses which purchase printed ad-
vertising space.

rlo'Royal Commission on violence in the
media. Rather than propounding on the sub-
ject Miss Lamarsh permitted her inter-
national audience a premiere viewing of a
35 -minute film which has been prepared for
showing at the 38 hearings her commission
will conduct across the province. The film
simply illustrates the' opposing views of
many Ontario residents about whether or not
the publicizing of violence in any form tends
to increase further acts of violence.
That exposure to the disturbing question
of increasing acts of violence in modern so-
ciety naturally set usgthinking--as it did the
several hundred Canadian and American
delegates whosaw the picture and heard
Miss Lamarsh's remarks. As a sort of final
analysis in our own mind we concluded with
y a general summation: We have too much
•'
The right to know
Ontario should pass a "right -to -know"
act to ensure that municipal councils and
other public bodies adhere to the principle of
participatory democracy, David Willis, pub-
lisher of the weekly Alliston Herald said as
he addressed the Association of Counties and
Regions of Ontario in Cornwall.
The act, which would be patterned after
similar legislation in the United States,
would ensure that all public business would
be conducted publicly. It would also override
all existing legislation and clarify dubious
wording and remove ambiguities. "Perhaps
the greatest criticism of public bodies," said
* the speaker, "is secrecy and suppression of
information on policies, planning and ac-
tion."
Often this criticism is justified because
too many public bodies get careless about
the public's right to know, a regrettable
number drift into some measure of secrecy
as a protective screen against criticism and
some make secrecy their deliberate and
positive policy.
Long dark days
Human beings must be highly suscep-
tible to the effects of light, or lack of it, in
their day-to-day existence. A mood of semi -
depression tends to grip most of us with the
return to Standard Time at the end of
violence because it has become popular, too
much the thing to, do if you want to prove
yourself a man, or a woman.
Bobby Hull, the hero of a thousand
youngsters in two countries, and shining star
of the Winnipeg Jets hockey team, made the
most significant contribution to the question
of violence when he announced at the week-
end that he would temporarily withdraw
from hockey action until the 'World Hockey
07k5Stitiatliftidoes sa ethi` concrete
and
��'nneningfulbo t viola nc iln .the game of
hocey. His pafience reached its limit Tues-
day night of last week when his team mate,
Perry Miller, suffered an eye injury when he
was hit from behind during a fight in a game
in Cincinnati.
Hull has demanded that his team file suit
in an attempt to make the WHA take action.
"It's time we took some action," said Hull,
"because if something isn't done soon it'll
ruin the game for all of us. I've never seen so
much stuff like this. I never thought it could
be so bad."
Who would you prefer to believe, Cla-
rence Campbell, president 'of the National
Hockey League', who declared at a public
hearing that violence on the ice is good, that
it lets the players work off steam—or Bobby
Hull, one of the hockey greats of all time,
who is sickened by what he sees?'
According to Mr. Willis public bodies use
a number of devices to suppress public in-
formation, including special meetings called
on short notice, informal meetings during
which action is taken on a motion without
explanation, suppressing of correspondence
and referring - to letters only by numbers so
the public doesn't know what they contain.
"Secrecy is often a cloak for ignorance,
incompetence, laziness or sometimes im-
proper conduct," according to the ,speaker.
He suggested that a right -to -know act should
include penalties such as a stiff fine for
every member of the public body or its of-
ficers who' contravene the act.
This newspaper agrees with the speak-
er's remarks, as well as the comment of
Reeve Bob Sharen of Grand Bend who
pointed to irresponsible journalism as one of
the reasons for secrecy. Obviously there
should be an equal responsibility for the
media to report accurately and fully. Of
paramount importance in the whole question
is the public's right to know.
October, when suddenly it is pitch dark
shortly after five in the afternoon. The re-
turn of supper -by -daylight at the end of Feb-
ruary somehow seems a long way off.

OCTOBER 21-27
BY JOE SMULEVITZ
Surges of cold air were of short
duration during the week. High-
pressure systems associated with
the cold air moved rapidly east-
ward. The clockwise circulation.
around the highs pushed a south-
erly flow of warmer air into the
area.
Typical . Ipdian summer
weather occurred Thursday and
Friday. The weather conditions'
which gave rise to the mild
weather was the establishment of
a stagnant high-pressure system
over eastern North America. The
air layers become stratified and
stable. Calm, mild and hazy days
and cool nights occurred. The
haze results from the stable
atmosphere's inability to carry
away smoke or dust from the sur-
face.
A rapidly moving cold front
passed through southern Ontario
Saturday morning. The colder air
forced the warmer air upwards
causing it to expand and cool.
This cooling caused the cloud and
precipitation which accompanied
the front. Rapid clearing was
experienced behind the swift
moving front.
A large high pressure ridge
over the lower Great Lakes gave
cool but dry weather for the
remainder of the weekend. As the
high progressed eastward .11
southwesterly flow of warmer air
developed over the region.
Temperatures that were slight-
ly above normal during the early
part of the week rose to the low
20's on Thursday and Friday.
Lowering temperatures on Satur-
day rose to the low teens by
Sunday and the mid -teens on
Monday.
�T�lte extended outlook indicates
slightly above normal tempera-
tures early in the week falling to
below normal for the latter' part
of the week. Precipitation is anti-
cipated for mid -week.
At this time of year drivers can
expect ice patches on the road,
particularly in the early morning
hours on and under bridges. Be
on the alert for those grey pat-
ches indicating ice, states the On-
tario Safety League and don't be
lulled into a false sense of secur-
ity by the bright fall sun. Expect
the unexpected.
