BY MIKE FERGUSON
Three of every ten Ontario high school
students expect a nuclear war in their
lifetime.
The last two generations were confronted
with world wars–will another one occur? ..
A major new study on adolescent attitudes
and behavior, released just this month, sug-
gests teenaged students are concerned
about the future and are more likely to
tackle important issues than were their
counterparts of two decades ago.
It is interesting to note that nearly half of
those surveyed often think about nuclear
war. Many obviously don't believe politi-
cians are doing enough to prevent it -72 per-
cent if
cent said such a war coiilu be prevented '
we tried.
There are those among us who undergo
something called the process of denial. If
you don't think about it, it will go away. The
prospect of nuclear war is perhaps too im-
posing for many of us to think about
intelligently.
Why wouldn't this be the case when we are
faced with a plethora of pronouncements
and statistics which serve only to further
confuse the average embattled citizen. ,
President Reagan says he . needs to
research and build space weapons to "pre-
vent a nuclear war." That's like saying giv-
ing a gun to retailers will prevent robberies.
While there are worries about issues like
unemployment and health care, most people
likely believe our defence capabilities are in
the hands of competent generals. Nuclear
war is just too massive an issue to allow it, to
creep into citizen's every -day thinking
patterns.
The warmongering hawks of the political
right say more weapons .are necessary to
combat the evils of the Soviet Union. The
pansies of the left say one nuclear weapon is
too much. How is the average man -on -the -
street supposed to gauge his reaction to the
,two, sides..
•
Many peace groups have made their
presence known in the interests of informing
the population. Ignorance breeds contempt.
Demonstrations against the Cruise Missile
testing in Alberta are an example; by doing
the Americans a favor, Canada is itself con-
tributing to the nuclear arms race.
The government responded by saying the
Soviets would soon have a similar weapon,
so we were just keeping pace. The race
continues.
The new Star Wars program initiated by
the Reagan Administration was supported
in principle by our government, and any
business wanting defence contracts would
do so at their own risk.
One thing Canadian businesses are learn-
ing, and something Americans have made
an art form of, is the incredible big bucks to
be made in the defence industry. America's
economic recovery was led by submarines,
tanks and bullets, not by housing starts,
wheat'or Cabbage Patch dolls. ,
The race continues because money talks.
As long as it is profitable for major car com-
panies and other corporations to contribute
to America's burgeoning defence forces,
then nuclear war will continue to be a press-
ing matter on the minds of 30 percent of high
school students.
The generals and all the other war plan-
ners in the Pentagon and in Moscow may be
rubbing there hands in glee With the
knowledge that the other' 70, percent of the
student population don't think about nuclear
war, or even worse, don't even care enough
to think about it.
Barbara Kent celebrated 35 years with the Canadian Imperial, Bank of Commerce last
week, and was presented with a cake by Manager Jim Philips and the staff. Kent spent 33
years at Tavistock before coming to Goderich. (Photo by Mike Ferguson).
