Ellie Therm Examiner Published by Canadian Newspaper Company Limited to Baytiold Straat Barrie Ontario Robb Publisher General Manager Walls Editor Emeritus Hanshaw Managing Editor The Barrie Examiner Thursday August l9 t976 Its kind of lonely down here by ourselves Are we really the last of what was thriving throbbing universe would seem so with the latest Mars where chances of discovering life are findings frotn remote Mars The last hope mart had of perhaps finding similar or dif ferent civilization The only bright ark in that Stygian cloying ackness that is space is Earth biit spinning piece of universal debris like the other silent flotsam in outer space The current spate of earthquakes on this Earth makes one think What an exciting moment it would have been to hear that life had been discovered on some other planet To know that others such as man doomed to end up existed What change in mans lifestyle and thinking as historic facts were the exchanged How is their social strata Any crime up there Do they same sexual hangups that beset us Or dont they bother with procrea have the tion computers perhaps there If life had been discovered the world as we know it would have turned topsyturvy as millions upon millions of manhours were lost in roduction For that would have een the topic of of conversation in all factories offices and laun dromats throughout the world Well maybe man will never know That ishing with each scientific find out possibility is dimin It really would have been better if mankind was still wondering It was kind of thrilling the uncer OTHER EDITORS Workers day of protest probably waste of time What good will come of the one day of protest called by the Cana dian Labour Congress as dem onstration of its displeasure with the antiinflation controls Such work stoppage will make lot of people angry at labor unions not at the government and its gram The day of protest isnt quite the general strike that the CLC earlier threatened Walkout plans will be modified to allow essential services to continue That shows at least little bit of concern for the public However in general if most wor kers withdraw their services in the lot of citizens will be hurt It shows an ir responsible lack of concern for the protest than general public We dont think such protest will do much good The government will pro innocent Times tainty of it all Now its kind of lonely somehow probably keep its antiinflation pro gram as long and no day of protest will make it change its mind Labor business and government can better solve economic problems if they all sit down together with open minds and try solutions together Every side will have to give somewhat in order for the whole to successfully No one can play the after you George game waiting for someone else to take the first step or make the first sacrifice and expect the economy to stabilize as it feels necessary to thrash out survive one day of protest will be nice holiday for the workers who observe it but it wont help situation It will probably be great waste of time Owen Sound Sun the economic Crumbling remains relics of Prairie Jewish settlement RV IRB llt EllilIRRIIMH

Intriguing scuss ons ap ently keep recurring in mh laces over the future of Robert tanfield The government it seems is anxious that the for mer Conservative party leader be given future opportunities to serve hiscountry His name is reported to have cropped up at cabinetlevel talks about future ambassador ships And there was even suggestion reachln Prime Minister Trudeau at Mr Stanfield would make first class GovernorGeneral Mr Trudeaus reaction was not revealed Mr Stanfield now 62 is highly pular rsonalit on bothsi esofthe ouseof mons and now that he has shed the party leadership which he held for eight years there are th$e suggestiom that his tal ents now be put to better use At the moment he is relatively quiet member of Parliament for Halifax careful not to stage his new leader Joe Clark Mr Stanfield has already made it clear he will not run in the next general election ex pected in 1978 By that time he will be 64 young enough for an other decade of government service at high level Mr Trudeau is known to have high personal opinion of his former political opponent and sources say that he would like to see him elevated to non artisan position before too ong The main problem is the reaction from within the Liberalparty LIBERALS WAITING If Mr Trudeau were to ap point Mr Stanfield to plumb posting the move would no doubt generate good deal of public enthusiasm But there could be

official But it would not create precedent if Liberal prime minister were to appoint life long Conservative to senior sition Former Governor neral Roland Michener was onetime Conservative MP and was Speaker of the Com mons during the Diefenbaker government It was former Liberal prime minister Lester Pearson who appointed Mr Michener first an ambassador and then GovemorGeneral It wasnt quite the same sin ce Mr Michener was essen tially non rtisan as Speaker But he sti fought every elec tion campaign as Tory And on several occaswns Mr Trudeau has reached outside his own party to fill Senate va cancies Ernest Manning for mer Social Credit remier of Alberta and 31 Sm th former Conservative premier of Nova Scotta were both summoned to the Senate by the present prime minister Without knowing what went on in Liberal backrooms these appointments were generally well received Mr Stanfield has never in dicated whether he is interested in any particular pointment but it is assumed at after 28 years in active politics he could be talked into accepting different type of challenge He did not maintain law practice after becoming premier of Nova Scotia in 1956 VACANCIES COMING There are likely

job Pierre Trudeau who can be very tough and mean in these matters when he wants to be is correctly tough and mean on his controls The CLCs moment of alleged glory will not dissuade him an inch The funds of labor ill spent on the day of national protest will not be available for positive cooperative ap proach by labor as the time for the controls come to an end Labors economists and other senior spokesmen are always complaining like many of the rest of usand rightly 30 about the failure of Canadian big business to plan ahead WANT HELP But both the govemment en lightened industrialists and their trade associations now want to see this done and they want labors input to have workable plan for the Canadian economy after l978 The LCs funds going to the da of national protest should be

drive for settlers at the beginning of the century The Doukhobors were Rus sian religious sect who were op posed to compulso military service Their trans er to Can ada was arranged by the fa mous author Tolstoy with finan cial aid coming from Quakers in Britain and the United States They were promised ex emption from milita service in Canada and eac family given 160 acres of land on the Prairies More than 7000 Doukhobors arrived in 1899 and most of them settled in Sas katchewan The were excellent farmers and id well until 19 when agitators appeared among them and began urging them to refuse to have any dealings with governments even municipal The refused to register births eaths or send their children to schools About Aug 19 l902 they be gan turning loose their horses cattle and sheep on the Prairies saying th were giving them to the Lo The cattle had to be rounded up by overnment officials or they won have ro zen to death in the winter However the Doukhobors werent concerned about cold weather They be staging nude rades an even up on the streets of former ort William and Port Arthur now Thunder Bay in January 1903 An ingenious member of the old North West Mounted Police teamed how to stop nude pa rades on the Prairies in the summer While the Doukhobors were out marchin he opened the doors and wi ows their headquarters and nailed them so they could not be closed When the Doukhobors returned and lit their lamps the more minor poured in and forced to quickly put on their clothes Later the most extreme fac tion of the Doukhobors moved to British Columbia and caused
