The invisible majority
By Tony Carlson
The reviews were decidely
mixed.
Some observers praised
the National Economic Con-
ference as a first step in in-
creasing the mutual under-
standing of this country's
disparate elements.
Others saw the two-day
confab as nothing but an
expensive public relations
exercise that never rose
above the predictable
festival of hot air.
The truth probably lies
somewhere in between, as is
most often the case.
But there is lingering
concern that the par-
ticipants—meticulously
hand-picked to produce a
balanced cross section of this
country—did not agree on
the most important issue
facing them and the nation:
job creation and how to en-
courage it.
"Not surprising,'' says
John Bulloch, president of
the Canadian Federation of
Independent Business, who
took a seat along with 135
others at the confereoF.
Many have said they didn't
expect to find agreement
with so many different inter-
est groups present.
But that misses the point,
says Bulloch.

The real reason no con-
sensus on job creation should
have been expected is that
the people who create the
majority of the jobs in the
country weren't invited."
What? Did the planners off
this extravaganza overlook
an entire sector?
Not really, rejoins the
business leader. There is no
way anyone—least of all a
bureaucrat— could have
located the leaders in job
creation because they don't
even exist yet—not as 'em-
ployers anyway.
"Most new jobs in the next
five years and beyond will
come from firms which don't
exist today, more than 70 per
cent.' They'll be created by
people who for the most part
aren't in business for them-
selves today, by en-
trepreneurs in every sector,
in every corner of the
country who find a market
niche and claim it for
themselves."
The figures are im-
pressive. In a normal year,
new small businesses form
at the rate of about 250 a day.
That's at least 250 jobs
created without headlines,
without fanfare; just grass-
roots job creation.
And the people who are
doing it, the risk -takers,
could not possibly have
found places at the crowded
tables 'of the National
Economic Conference.
They're too busy creating
jobs.
"They are" says Bulloch,
"the invisible majority."
What they need, and by ex-
tension what the country
needs if it wants to reinforce
this natural process of en-
trepreneurship and new
business formation,, is to re-
move the barriers to growth
in the small business com-
munity, hurdles such as tax
and regulatory burden.
"I say this not so one
sector can benefit at the ex-
pense of others," Bulloch
says, "I say it because of
this: how small business
goes in the future will deter-
mine Id a great, extent how
Canada goes.
"We cannot predict the
future in an era of fun-
damental change. But entre-
preneurship and small busi-
ness offer us the initiative -
taking, the drive and the
flexibility not only to accom-
modate change, but also to
welcome it and shape it' to
our benefit."

ARTHRITIS
by Palrick Bakor
Don't Be Surprised
By ASA Prescription
Most people with arthritis
are surprised, :perhaps even a
little disappointed, when the
doctor tells them for the first
time that the drug they'll be
taletng to help control the in-
flammation of their disease is
plain old ASA. Some even seem
to think they're being "cheated" ,
if the doctor doesn't hand them
- prescription- for '
most powerful, most publicized
drug on the market.
High And Regular Dosages
When used to combat the
-inflammation of arthritis, most
physicians experienced with -the
disease will start their patients
• off on carefully chosen and
• regulateddosages-ofASA-tfiat
are much higher than are used
for 'other, less serious, condi-
tions. Normally, they will pre-
scribe a coated, or entegic, ASA
that is absorbed in the intestine,
rather than the stomach, al-
though the regular, off-the-shelf
indicated.
Side
also sometimes be
Side Effects •
Some of the most common
ASA side effects are nausea,
stomach or abdominal pain,
ringing in the ears, and reversi-
ble hearing impairment. Chil-
d -ruff, and- paTrents Wfio have a
type of arthritis called systemic
litpus erythematosus, may also
develop slight abnormalities in
liver function. Some of these
side effects are related to the
dosage of ASA the patient
might be taking, and others
,may be a consequence of the
disease process or the total
course of therapy. If you experi-
ence a problem, your physician
will be able to give you the best
advice about how to counteract
it.

ANCIECRILAN FOR &LORAL MinWI
Like every newsman in
these parts with a con-
science,, I am worried about
the way that we have dealt
with terrorism in the past
few weeks. We are obviously
as ill-prepared to deal with it
on the airwaves or the front
pages, as the Canadian gov-
ernment is to deal with it
when an embassy is raped.
• I'm not sure where the an-
swer lies, exactly, although I
think I have a pretty good
idea of the general direction.
I do not subscribe complete-
ly to the "publish and, be
damned" philosophy of the
Fleet tabloids; but every-
thing I have learned in 30
years, largely by trial and
error, tells me that it is more
dangerous for a journalist to
suppress information than to
disseminate it. The journal-
ist risks playing God when he
approaches his task with the
idea that the public should be
protected from information
he thinks it can't handle.
But there is a difference in
announcing a fire in a
crowded building when one
has actually seen the smoke
and flame and in shouting
"fire" when one only sus-
pects that flame and smoke
are present. And there are
different ways to warn
people. One can announce
fire calmly, and suggest that
people walk,' not run, out of
the building; or one can
shriek the warning, in,a pan-
icky way, and lead the rush
to the staircase.
I think those are the differ-
ences we are talking about
when we're considering how
news organizations should
cover terrorist activity. The
suggestion that the public
_Ovid not have been warned
about the terrorist threat to
the Toronto subway, systeni,
is, in my view, unacceptable.
Where would the police and
themedia have been if one
unsuspecting passenger had
• been manned or killed?
On the other hand, respon-
sible coverage of the ' im-
pending threat does not in-
clude -an advance story On
the reserves on Toronto
blood banks and whether
they would have adequate
supplies in the event .of carn-
age. That is quite simply
alarmist and that too is
unacceptable.
The proper course lies
somewhere between those
two extremes. Our coverage
should not give aid and com-
fort to criminal activities. On
the other hand, I seeno way
that 'a responsible press
could avoid background sto-
ries on the grievances which
gave rise to the terrorism in
the first place. •
Perhaps it's time that the
