Uito>r ENOUGH IS ENOUGH t now appears that Canadians are being setup !0o assist with the financing of the Alsands oïl project in Alberta and within a month a decision should be made both in Ottawa and in the Alberta legislature. There appears many good reasons this should be questioned for it will be the Canadian people who will foot the bill one way or another. Already Canadians are being taken at the gas pumps with two-thirds of the cost of a fillup going to federal and provincial governments who use the monies to meet their expenditures. One can add to this the purchase of Fina by Petro Canada which the cost cornes down to Canadians and no one else. It is a mystery to this corner just why Petro Can and the liberal federal goverfiment made the purchase. Surely the distribution system and refining systems held by private -industry was more than ade- quate to meet the needs of Canadians. The purchase price of Fina does nothing as to oïl sufficiency for Canada and only depleted possible oîl capital to another country. Petro Canada has a place in the oil industry and we support somne aspects but flot in refining and distribution. One should now also consider the fact that oil and gas is in a surplus position and with the p ossibility of giant oii fields on both the wèst and east coast a reali- ty supply may flot be a major problem for this country. There is the fact that the oil world supply is in a surplus position. This latter may be 'short-lived from some aspects but OPEC counitries are still going to have to selI oïl to finance their economies. It is a fact that private oil industries have opted. out of the Alsand project due to the fact that they can- not bie guaranteed at least a twenty percent returfi on their monies. Can the Canadian government guarantee Canadians a twenty percent return. The answer has to bc 'No". Alsands may well become another 'white elephant' for the liberals in Ottawa and with the unstable- position of the world economy and that of Canada Canadians should not, at this time, be opted in to bail out this questionable project. There is no doubt that the federal government looks to the Alsands project and the, pouring of money into the project as'a stimulus to the economy. Certainly it would be such for Alberta and Ontario . . . but at what price? 11 The private sector should be allowed through reduced taxation on oul and gas to promote the project separate from the goverfiment. If it proves to be a loss that loss would flot then be carried by the taxpayers in this country through the governiment. Petro Canada fine . ... but enough is enough.. and we have now reached that point. IN ANSWER TO CONFRONTATION Following our editorial last week "Confronta- tion No Answer" we received a couple of calîs and a comment on the Street. lronically two were from inspec- tors working for two different auto firms. Both had similar comments and questions. 4"What is one to do, when after final inspection, a car is rejected by an inspector and should return for repairs 'and additions but are told by their supervisor to move the car out?" 0f course the inspector has no other recourse than to obey their supervisor. In conversationt, a number of months ago, a similar comment was also made by another inspector who had been told, apparently, he was being too severe. Its ail a matter of quality control and here again, as in any industry, its a joint responsibility bath by labour and management. It is interesting to note that the UAW has made an approach to Ford Canada for early opening of 1982 negotiations. Ford bas turned the proposai down and further, according to a UAW Newsletter, has said they are flot interested in establishing astudy group on labour costs. From the same source, Ford has suggested the establishing of study commîttees on productivity, sourc- ing and efficiency. Certainly aIl four items are most rele- vant at this time and should be dealt with in conjunction Kendal News For God so loved the world that he gave bis only Son that whosoever believetb in bim should not perisb, but bave everlasting life. St. John 3:16 April 4th. was Palm Sun- day. Itis two weeks since the coming of Spring but no one would have guessed it by' looking out tbe window on the sixtb line on Sunday. In fact places like London bit a record low temperature of minus J3. Tbere were, wbîte- outs as we travelled to Cburcb in the terrific wînd. None of, tbe shut-in folk were there but there was a fair- attendance. Mrs. Ron Frank told the cbildren a story about cboosing tbe bard tasks. The scripture reading was St. Luke 19: 37-48. AIl these followers of Jesus stood up for Jesus that first Palm S unday as be rode into Jerusalemn on a donkey. Tbe procession moved slowly as ail processions do to weicome a bero. Perbaps the slow movement of Jesus represented the slow move- ment of bis message around the worid. He wept as he looked down over Jerusalem. He bad come to save' Jerusalem. He came to live and save. Hosanna in Hebrew means saved. So tbey shouted, "Save Us." He wanted to put his arms around the world. Fanny Crosby wrote the hymnl "Safe ini the arms of Jesus, Safe on his gentie breast. " 1He flot onîy saved them. He went to the cross to save the world. He brought com- fort. "Comfort thee my peo- pie, 1 will neyer leave thee comfortless." There were those in the crowd silent with grief. He came to bring us courage. Courage to be called Christians. We are challenged to re-examine Our priorities, our aims. Ride on, ride on, in majesty. He reigns supreme. He challenges us to corn- fort others. Next Sunday is Easter Sun- day. Sorry to repeat that Mrs. I. Marlatt feil last Tuesday and broke her hip she is in Bowmanville Hospital. She is Mrs. Fern Foster's mother. Don't forget to dlean those stove pipes if you burn wood after this long cold spell. It's going to be cold tilI the thir- teenth so Beth Cuthbert says. Navigation on the great lakes begins April 5th. a week late. In the long ago my grand- mother said, when spring camne they were given warm losengers. 1t bappened the bed posts were hollow so she put hers in the bed posts. When house cleaning time I 've done a lot of thinking about the British Empire late- ly, largely because of three books I lve been reading on and off since Decenber -- James Morris's tri logy on the British Empire. Colonialism died as an acceptable force in the second world vwar, aithough there were people even then, who hadn't recognized that fact. There aren't many people Ieft today who vwuld arguethat it shouldn't have died. The problem is, as 1 see it, that when we accepted the fact that colonialism was wrong, we tended to chuck the baby out with the bath water. Rudyard Kipling vwis denigrated as a writer. Everything British was suddenly bad. But if you examine the Empire in the context of its owri timre, and judge the British on the basis of what passed for human rights in Victoria's England, it wasn't ail bad. The British abat ished slavery for example, before anyone else did, in the l8th century, and devoted the best part of a century to finding foreign remnants of it and rooting it out. That the British feit superior ta many of the people they govemned cannot be denied. They invented some of the nastiest racial epithets of ail time. But if you're fair, you have to admit, that thraugh it ail the British did a greai deal for thç people of the Empire. Ask yourself nw in the 2th cen- tury, if the attitude of the Americans, the Canadians, the British themiselves, towards the third-worid, is as enlight- ened as it aught to be now that colonialism bas gone. When the wvinds of change first hit, the British and the rest of us simply dropped the former subject peoples wiÀth a duil thud. The new Empires are commercial, not geo- graphic, and the Third World, by and large, has been left out. In the main, our aid'progranu are a jolce. Refugees continue to flood, in their t housands, from the horrors of Cambadia anîd the numbing totalitarianism 0of Hanoi's Vietnam, from the battle grounds of 1Ltin Am-erica, from Afghanistan, from Poland from stupifying poverty where- ever it is found. In retrospect, the British Raj doesn't look as oppressive nowas it did in the first fiush of internation- al 1iberal ism in 1945. That's not newsl, but that too is reality. came the bed was taken apart. They couldn't uinders- tand where ail the losengers wvere comning from. There were many stories of narrow escapes when the bridges went out on Fridiay night April the fifth 1929.* Farmers crossed a bridge to feed their stock when they returned the bridge was gone. One story I heard once and neyer heard again was. A lad left Peterborough after hîs work was done. He hitch- hiked to Port Hope then to Newcastle by this time it had started to get dark but he began walking forth to Orono. A few days later when his mother didn't hear from him she notified the police and a search began. 1 neyer heard anyting further perhaps some of the Orono fold could tell us. Hitcb-hîkers often run into difficulty especially if they start off late in the day. In the air force the cooks would get two days off when no one else was having a holiday. Two of them decided to visit Kingston. Tbey perhaps didn't leave early enough to return to Ottawa. They they got short rides with farmers. It began to ramn on one Cam"i along so they walked and walked. This was the month of August. They became more and more weary. They couldn't see a light anywhere. Eventually they became so tired they could walk no more. Tbey lay down in the ditch in the rain and went to sleep. At the first peep of dawn they awakened and there wasn't a bouse in sigbt. Along came an airman on a motorcycle. They climbedi on behind him and rod into Ot- tawa before others wvere up. They were so glad it was early as they looked like drowned rats with the starch aIl out of the peaks of their caps.
