Society meets
at public school
The September meeting of the Seaforth
Horticultural Society was held at the
Seaforth Public School.
The president, Steve Hildebrand wel-
comed everyone. Steve thanked all those
who helped, decorate the float for the
Tuckersmith parade. The flower engage-
ment calendars that were ordered are
available as well as a few extra copies. An
invitation was received from the Clinton
society to their meeting on September 25.
Mr. Graham from B.S.G.; will be speaking on
preparing the garden for winter. It was
decided a $50 donation be made to the Barrie
area tornado relief fund to buy trees.
Olga Stoll volunteered to decorate the car
for the Fall Fair parade for our Queen
contestant Joanne Carter to ride in.
'Beatrice Stoll and Jeanette Finnigan gave
very interesting reports on the Ontario
Horticultural Convention held in Windsor in
June. The first convention was held in 1906
and apparently there was one delegate from
Seaforth attended but it is not known who.
Members are encouraged to take slides and
enter them in the competition at the O.H.C.
The convention theme was the Year of the
Youth and was attended by 950 delegates.
Delegates were told they should open their
garden to their children, their grandchild-
ren, their neighbors' children and give a
child a plant to take home. The 1986
convention will be held in Peterborough.
The guest speaker was Marion Doucette
from the Blyth Festival Theatre. She gave a
talk on behind the scenes at the theatre.
Mrs. Doucette said at one time the hall was
condemned and the complete roof had to be
replaced and fire escapes added. The budget
has gone from $10,000 to over $500,000 and
from summer season to all year round,
Accommodation was needed so a bed and
breakfast plan was set up as well as country
suppers in the surrounding area on Friday
and Saturday nights and luncheons on
Thursday evenings,
Every summer about 60 individuals have
to be housed into a village of 1000 peon',•.
Door prizes were drawn for and a st.•vt I
time followed. The next meeting will be heal
at the school on October 9. Mr. Art Coles of
Humber College will speak on pruning trees
and shrubs and Humber college arboretum.

SDI opponents
are not neve
BY BRL ROBINSON and JIM STARK
On September7, the Conservative govern-
ment formally rejected government partici-
pation in the Strategic Defence Initiative
(SDI), popularly known as Star Wars. While
opponents of Star Wars certainly consider
this a victory, it does not wean the
government has come around to opposition
to Star Wars in general.
The government also reaffirmed its moral
support for U.S. efforts in this area and
announced Canadian firms and institutions
would be free to accept SDI contracts, with
government funding to be determined on a
"case-by-case" basis. In effect, it was a
"yes and no" decision. Therefore. the issue
of Canadian involvement is far from over,
The government maintains that it sup-
ports SDI as "prudent research." In the
words of the Prime Minister, 'only a naive
6 -year-old would fail to understand that the
Americans are involved in this research
because the Soviets have been doing it for a
long period of time."
This comment has drawn ridicule. Ft,rmer
Canadian Chief of Defence Staff Admiral
Robert Falls suggested Mr, Mulroney's
statement reflected an "appalling ignorance
of the facts."
Both the United States and the Soviet
Union have conducted relatively modest
strategic defence research programs for a
long time. The suggestion that some sort of
Soviet advantage exists that must be met
with a $26 billion American crash program of
research is simply incorrect.
The charges of Soviet superiority are all
very reminiscent of the "Bomber Gap" and
the "Missile Gap" of the 1950s and 1960s,
when alarmist charges were made that the
United States had fallen far behind the
Soviets in strategic weapons. The charges
were later proven false. The U.S. had held
the lead in strategic weapons all through
that period -• the "gaps" had never existed.
Are we now hearing about a "Star W ars
Gap?" Such overstated charges simply don't
fit the facts, as even the Pentagon confirms.
The research conducted in the United
States prior to the SDI program had been
very successful in keeping the U.S. ahead of
Soviet developments. The U.S. Department
of Defence recently released the results of
study of the state of the 13 technologies
required for advanced anti -ballistic missile
development. Comparing U.S. with Soviet
achievements in these 13 areas. they
concluded the U.S. is ahead in 12. and the
two sides are on the same level in the
thirteenth (directed energy devices; 1'
Air Force testimony to the American
Congress has confirmed that in directed
energy the Soviet Union has "no identifiable
lead in applications of this technology to a
space -based strategic defence." •
It is worth noting when President Reagan
• introduced Star Wars in 1983, he said not
one word about the level of Soviet strategic
defence research. He said "I call upon the
scientific community...to give us the means
of rendering these nuclear weapons impo-
tent and obsolete.... f am ,directing a
comprehensive and intensive effort to define
a long-term research and development
program to begin to achieve our ultimate
goal of eliminating the threat posed by
(Soviet) strategic nuclear missiles." While
this may not be what Star Wars achieves,
this is its avowed goal. It was not and is not a
reaction to Soviet developments. The Prime
Minister, who is considerably older than six,
should know this.
Up to now, the government has managed
to avoid the question of the strategic
desirability of Star Wars, and the effects it
will have on the Anti -Ballistic Missile (ABM )
Treaty and other arms control treaties. It has
been content to fall back on the rationaliza-
tion that SDI research is not aimed at
creating new strategic defences, but is
merely a "hedge" >f'gainst the Soviets. This
clearly incorrect interpretation will even-
tually have to fall by the wayside as the
government is forced to deal with the
consequences that SDI is going to have for
the ABM Treaty, for arms control, and for
our future defence relations with the United
States as 'he SDI program proceeds.
