Between You anüd Me By RUTH COLES A problem well stated is aproblem halfsolved. Charles K. Kettering. Hopefuily by now most interested parties realize "dour problems" are not ours alone. Similar condi- tions exist ail over the world and many nations are in amuch worse situation than we are. For quite sometime the world has be en on a binge, or a spending' spree; the sky was the, limit with no holds barred. Equality for ail, an impossible feat. None of us are born equal. Our physical being, Our mental capa- city, our genes vary in every person, no two persons are alike. A wonderful goal, but there are limitations always. For sometime the concept is 'the world is your oyster, take from it what you will. " No one has the God-given right to everything, many things have to be earned. It i easy to remember when this upsurge of new thinklng began. The old adage, which stiil applies, of spending what you can afford was old hat. What- ever you need or want 18 yours for the asking, the payment comes later. This concept took over from multinationals to the individual across the board. I understand in the past many company personnel and people went to the bank hat in hand. This, of course, didn't apply to everyone, it neyer does. Caution and concern were the order of the day when it came to banking and lending out millions. Now the concern is just how to pay off the loans and we often talk in terms of billions rather than millions. To be successful in business one has to gamble. It has to be done with good thinking, flot abandon. There are calculated risks always and many wise people take those. The world is ful of wonderful success stories and on the other side of the coin are the disasters. How difficult it must be for so many people to resist temptation when it is ail there before theni. For some, the - temptation, doesn't exist. Maybe because of past experience or upbrmnging. 1 How did the wise ones, the large corporations and such full into the trap? I say the wise ones because' if they were foolish or stupid they wouldn't exist. What about the little man or the not so littie, where does he stand? now often on the brink of disaster along with thousands of others, many of whom want to be bailed out. Think of people who in recent years decided to try farming with the help of lbans or a prayer. Farming is a science handed down from generation to generation and most of ail dependent on the weather. With everything on the upswing, many people have started small businesses which is a great thing to do and often very wise, but at what cost? So now we come to the easy money. What in the world do you need or want?, Just ask for it and it wil -be yours; béans are there for the asking, ask and ye shail receive. Loans May be easy to pay off, but not under ail circumstances. Conditions and times can change overnight. Recently we have heard of people putting second mortgages on their homes to buy very costly boats! The outcome can be horrendous and has been for sm.The taxpayer cannot bail them out, but it may hsappen more often that we realize. For the Dupont Canada Inc. has. announced a $2 million expansion plan at its Blair St. plant that will create about 10 jobs in Whitby over thç next two years. Dupont will begin pro- ducing a nylon film which is used in packag- ing cheese and meat, in the falof 1983, employ- ee relations manager John Roynon said Thursday. Roynon said Dupont will be thé only Cana- dian company ,-to produce the film, which this country has been importing-from Japan. Most of the new jobs will be in the manu- facturing plant, Roynon said. The Canadian process for manufacturing the film was the result of re- search conducted in Kingston, Ontario. WHITBY'FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 20. 1982. PAGE 7 Ten jobs lost iii. whitby cautious clear thinker and the ones who deny them- selves before they make gains such as buylng a thir- ty or forty thousand dollar boat, don't ask them to pay and pay for others mistakes. The so-called binge is over and now we ail have to pay. Not juat ln our country but everywhere. Many people zeroed in on Canada and refused to see what was happening in -other countries. Some insisted that the United States and Germany were ln great shape, to name a couple, but this was flot true; they were looklng through, rose-colored glasses. To flnd the truth should be an ultimate goal for alI the emotion'needs to be put aside.- Good thlnking needs to, come from the brain, not always the heart. So.many people seem to want to destroy and flot build up; it has become a vocation and a cailling., People gathered together demanding their rights, in some cases what rlghts? Do people who march with placards and strident voices ever wonder why they do it? They might bef mighty surprised if they reallzed what wheels are in motion and at what cost tothem. We are so, blessed in this wonderful country of ours. Let's build it'up rather than destroy. We are free and able to speak, let's not abuse that freedom. Rather than paying out the great amount of mornes to help some people I'd put them on a plane and send them tua few far away countries, not as tourists but as observers.' Maybo and only then would they return to make our country a botter place to live. We have' riches here beyond belief ail for the taking, but of course there has to be input. Let's make the most of what we have, upgrade rather than downgrade. Far away fields are not always Dupont expands unfortuinate, 9 .Lewis said,, "but we just couldn'tget a piece of land that would suit our needs. ' >Colonial was seeking about 20 acres to build a new plant; but Lewis said the - company couldn't get a piece. of land' t hat large in this ares. "IAil the developers have the land," said Lewis. "And what they want to do is just sit on it for awhile. " 0f the 60 jobs lest in the move, about 35 were in the plant, and about 25 In the office.
