the editor Time to voice an opinion Dear Sir After reading several letters published in The Examiner and hearing the outrageous negativism on the Human Relations Program have decided it is time to voice my opinion It has become apparent to me that these people who are totally negative about this course in ques tion are the ones who are in most need of the course They are the ones with the hangups that are passed on to our children No wonder society is sick It balks at something that is total ly normal yet paises some things that are not Sometimes wonder if we have ever left the Dark Ages What gets me is the fact that the teachers are being ridiculed already about the right to teach the course The question is llo the teachers have the nialifications Well let me ask this question Does the right to produce children as parents give us any better qualifications to teach the course know there are parents who feel that their child should come to them to discuss such subjects Bill let me tell you some children have gone to their parents and have been turned away Some children cannot even communicate with their parents on ordinary daylo day topics So how can they ap proach their parents and ask impor Parliament Hill SIHWARI IaclJCtll ttawa Hurcau Thomson New Service Before being rudely interrupted by 13 byelections we were talking about Prime Minister Trudcaus brilliant ridicule of lorv Leader Joe Clark and how he will bc such formidable force in next years general elect ion campaign Ah but those byelections Suddenly its no longer question of evaluation election oratory but rather question of whether lrudeaus voice will even be heard in the next campaign ltis Liberal party was not merely defeated in those byelections it was whomped clob bercd humiliated And although Liberals have traditional tendency to rally around their leader in times of stress even they have lnmls on loyalty If during the next few months opinion polls indicate that thc lrudialrlcd irits are continuing to wallow ill the depths of delistation there will be enormous pressure on the prime minister to step aside and call leadership convention If this happened it is quite probable that thc Liberals would choose John Turner lrudctius former finance minister to lead them into an election and this is the scenario the lorics hate to tlliiik about They desperately want general

Britain and the US nearly went to war over the shooting of pig Canada would have been the battleground The dispute was over the ownership of San Juan Island south of Vancouver Island The Oregon Boundary Treaty of 1846 was ambiguous It defined the boundary as the middle of the channel separating Vancouver Island from the mainland Unfortunately there were two channels and San Juan was between them The Hudsons Bay Co established large agricultural station on the island and salmon fishing industry However the US also claimed the island and there were nine American settlers there in 1859 The US tried to collect customs duties from the Hudsons Bay Co and there were number of disputes The crisis came when Hudsons Bay Co pig got into an American settlers garden and ate some potatoes The settler shot the pig and the company ordered him to pay $100 Feelings became so inflamed that US Capt Picket later to become famous at Gettysburg was sent to San Juan with 60 troops This led to three British warships being sent from Vancouver Island Fortunately RearAdmiral Baynes refused to go to warfor the shooting of pig and it was decided to submit the dispute to arbitration The German kaiser agreed to be the ar bitrator and awarded San Juan to the US on Oct 21 1872 even though the Hudsons Bay Co had been established there since 1843 OTHER EVENTS ixszmltobert Campbell began 3000 mile trip

slowed his pace to see if any traffic was coming tfitl chance at this hour and there it was again It was twice as big this time aiid it lay evil looking in the centre of the windswept crossroads The thing seemed to come to stop just as he noticed it for as he went up to it he could have sworn it stopped quivering as if after breathless run He didnt believe this Was he still in bed and this nightmare And the face was still there llainer this time It was he who shuddered as he hurried along the deserted street iAgain it moved as he walked on it slithered behind and to the left of him pass
