KALNINS ON... Election '74 On July 8, millions of Canadians will go to the polls hoping to see some political changes in Ottawa. They will vote either for the Liberals, Conservatives or NDP, pretty well along the party lines. Frankly, this is the dullest election campaign I have seen in a long time. It's 'Dullsville all the way. What worries me is that many eligible voters are starting to forget the real issues of the forthcoming election: inflation and growing financial instability. In the last year prices have shot up by almost 25 per cent while the wages have in- creased only by 10 per cent on the average. Simply, it means that Canadians are getting poorer every year. Trudeau says the inflation is a world-wide problem and therefore there is nothing that can be done to curb the spiralling prices and galloping inflation. I say, PET does not know what what he talking about. He is undermin- ing the Canadian economy by allowing inflation to go unchecked. The truth of the matter is that Canada is a fairly self- sufficient country. We produce our own gas and oil. We produce most of the every-day farm products. We produce hydro-electric' power and we have our own secondary industry, though somewhat snall but nevertheless func- tioning quite normally. In essence, we are economically in pretty good shape except for some of the more sophisticated industries. Therefore, I believe, that a Canadian Government is in a position to exercise a much greater power over their own destiny - or economic future. So far the Liberals have failed to produce a decisive action when action is needed to stop the inflation. Instead, the Trudeau Government is bringing the country closer to a financial disaster and all-out bankruptcy. Not long ago, Toronto newspapers carried an interesting ad from a citizens' group asking five pertinent questions why this country is going through a hell of a mess. Why have the prices gone up out of any proportion. Why millions of dollars have been squandered by the Trudeau Government? And I would like to know when Trudeau is going to stop those million-dollar handouts through various initiative programs? Also, I would like to know when a single person like me is going to get a tax brake? But, above all, when the almightly Liberals are going to under- stand that inflation is the number one enemy at the present time? So far Trudeau and his political gang have been very elusive on this point. Alnost, they have ignored it. Therefore, I say, it's time for Liberals to step down and let the PC's in. At least, they should be given a chance to prove to the people of Canada what they can do with the suggested wage and price controls. I'm aware that any controls are not popular. But, then some stricter measures should be instituted, if people are, unable to cope with the inflationary problems at home and abroad. Basically, greed and nothing but greed, causes all these problems. Big companies want higher profits . Workers ask for higher salaries. And, sadly enough, every- body wants to make more money, while at the same time asking for more leisure time. Taking a closer look at the forthcoming election, I'm convinced that Robert Stanfield has recognized some of the problems which have been with us for the last three years. He is willirig to introduce a 90-day wage and price freeze - a step in the right direction. Further, he is also concerned about Government spendings and is likely to clamp down on liberal spending programs. Although Stanfield's election profile has been low, I'm sure he's aware of it. But, let's remember that this is not a person- ality contest between Trudeau, Stanfield and Lewis. More important - this election is based on vital issues. As far as I can see, there is only one big issue - the inflation, and I sincerely hope that Mr. Stanfield will be chosen as our next Prime Minister. There is no other choice - the way I see it anyway. ALUMINUM, FIBREGLASS FISHING BOATS FIBREGLASS REPAIRS I FIBREGLASS MATERIALS USED BOATS Whitby Marine People problems can be serious problems. This is what Ontario Us doing to help solve them in advance. Recently arrangements were made for a group of Indian children ta attend the public school in a northern Ontario town. The principal of theschool in the town was aware that Indian children sometimes had a rough timeat the hands of other students, and to try to forestall this kind of situation, he called in a Human Rights Commission counsellor to talk ta the other children. The counsellor asked the children if any of them had ever moved to a new school, and what they thought it would feel like if they were the strangers. In this way he helped them understand how the Indian children would be feeling when they ar- rived, and the integration proceeded relatively smoothly. Community counselling is one of the major roles of your Ontario Human Rights Commission. We hold seminars and dis- cussions with police in areas where there are communication barriers between them and minority groups, to help relieve ten- sion and promote mutual understanding. We attend meetings of immigrants and natîve-born minority groups to explain to them both their rights under the legislation and their responsibilities as ci.tizens of this Province. We also help bring people into contact with local agencies like home-and-school groups, community and government agen- cies, and churches, which are available to help but which many people don't even know exist. Wherever there's a difficulty based on race, language, colour or creed. the Human Rights Commission is available to generate discussion and motivate people to develop understanding and re- spect for the other's point of view. Our job is to help bring people together and encourage healthier relationships among all groups.

His Honor sentenced John T.F. Koster, 21, of no fixed address and John Morrison, 18, of West Hill and Scarborough to 12 months in jail on the charge of robbery with violence. The two men pleaded guilty to the charge.
