difficult country to govern he noted but said mature nationhood does not come easily to any country Mr said It was Important for Canadians to keep matters In their proper perspective and avoid

nation Mr Jamleson said The government not prepared to allow the majority of citizens to be Jeopardized by a relative handful of dissenters What ever steps are necessary we are prepared to take he Insisted Mr termed total nonsense the charge that the prime minister and the cabinet had been transformed into advocates of repression He said the government had run counter to the world trend by expanding civil rights In Canada and the social structure and stabilization are better than any other countries On the other hand the government recognized that if it didnt move to protect rights law and order would soon be a thing of the past he asserted New legislation The government chose not to introduce permanent legislation to control the situation but the War Measures Act would be replaced by new legislation by next April It would be wrong for the government to do this now even with the widespread support it Is receiving Mr Jamleson said The belief that members of the FLQ are from the deprived elements of society was pooh- poohed by the speaker who worked without the advantage of notes He said members came from highly Intellectual elements and welltodo homes They are converts to anarchy They intend to stir up unrest destroy and scare business and at the same time divert govern ment from the affairs of the country He noted the difficulty of fighting this type of insidious revolution but asserted the Liberal government was not going to be stampeded into changing its philosophy in the face of invasions of liberty Root causes Mr defended the Liberal concern for the un derprivileged but advocated going to the roots of the reasons for poverty and unemployment Welfare is now costing the country two billion three hun dred million dollars per year the minister claimed but sold it would be a mistake to build up a core of unemployed people dependent an public welfare assistance for generation after generation He said Liberals wanted to find the answers for these problems not superficial solutions Praises Whltlug Mr earlier paid tribute to MP Whiting for his persistence In finding solutions to county problems pointing to his determination in obtaining ac

well set for the winter I have weeded all the flower beds There is one at the level under the porch window and a series of four or five down the hill beside the flagstone steps I did put petunias in them but they didnt do well which was disappointing because I thought they would grow anywhere I suppose the Boll was too add from the old mortar Now the beds are full of bulbs So many people have given them to me as presents and Mother brought about a hundred with her Mr Engler who had a cottage near us up the He la a wonderful gardener and gave me a sixquart basket full when I built my cottage there So I have a bit of the Gattneau with me The tulips I have put in the flower beds but the daffs are around the fruit trees and along the edge of the upper terrace Thats where I like to them and in a few years theyD be a lovely show Use own apples Ive made my fruit whatever you call it Tomatoes celery onions peaches pears and apples And I was able to use my own apples for it That gave a thrill alright It sure takes ages to prepare the fruit and though And of course I really dint have any pots large enough so there is constant danger of the stuff boiling over and as I like It good and thick It is a long alow In the middle of it all I thought heard someone at the back door When I looked all I could see were two sets of Utile fingers at the bottom of the screen There sure enough were the two little fair- haired girls who are freqaeot visitors Next year I suppose the tops of their heads will tost show Weve had Halloween Here they have what seems to me a very good arrangement The children go around to the houses for apples and candy for about an hour and then they all gather at the community hall to have their costumes Judged Some of them are really excellent

serious vandalism And then there was the Mitchell boy as a frogman and the usual collection of witches fairies and devils We really didnt have any serious vandalism thank goodness Although sometime during the night the sort of ar bour gateway at the bottom of my steps was taken down Betty Marshall said it happened every year When I went down to look at It I found it was really very rotten so I decided not to put It back up It was quite easy to pull it to and carry it up behind the Elizabeth Hoey had an art show at their place one weekend in October Besides her textiles and tiles there were several other artists exhibiting leather jewellery handmade silver pottery etc She asked me to help and we were on the run selling from about IS in the morning until after five at night Gorgeous day The men looking after the parking said they must have parkedSUNO cars in the adjoining bold It was a gorgeous day people came In families and picnicked on the lawn where they had all the wagons and old buggies out fx the children to climb in doer press going for them It was fun to hash it all over at supper Id taken a casserole and asked If he should Just put It straight in the oven to which I stud Yes I guess we were all pretty bred because when it was served there were traces of wrap on the edge of the dish so It went in the oven wrapped We survived Bed time my dear Love Val WEATHER WAS perfect fa me Plowing Match on The present mood of the electorate in turning out established provincial govern ments was seen as an indication that Ontario voters might reject the present Conservative ad ministration at the upcoming election The speaker was James Breithaupt Kitchener MPP and he spoke at the Liberal dinnerdance in Oakville Friday night Mr Breithaupt a member of the Ontario Liberal caucus told about 300 Liberals from the county that the present Ontario government has more sins to account for than all the rest of the deposed governments put together He suggested that the Liberals were the only viable alternative to the present situation Peddling smugness Mr said the Conservatives were peddling smugness with their current advertising campaign extolling the province on the strength of one million of the taxpayers dollars He asked how the government could be so smug when O H S I premiums were highest In the country There is a great credibility gap between the people and the current administration the speaker charged picking the words of George Kerr as an example We see the gap bet ween what George Kerr talks about and the communities in which we are obliged to live Criticizes attitude Mr Breithaupt also criticized the governments attitude towards school boards labor and the controversial Bill which would do away with calling tenders on some occasions He urged voters who support the liberals federally to get out and vote in the next election citing the increased rapport between federal and Liberals Mr Trudeau and Mr Nixon get along well he asserted and Mr
