LETTERS- Facing new generation of leadership it is evident from the current leadership race of the Progressive Conservative Party. and from the Prime Minister's stated intention not to lead the Liberal Party in another election, that Canadians face a new generation of political leader ship who will. for good or ill, guide our Dominion's fortunes through the 1980‘s and behond.

PF put to all contenders for office. and especially to the leaders of parties. is as to their stance on maintaining the Constittr tional Monarchy, that pillar of Canadian democracy on which rests so much of what is Just and decent and traditional about our country. Rejecting the Monarchial minimalism of the past decades. which has seen an often subtle erosion in both the substantive powers and symbolic presence of the Crown in Canada. the Monarchist League of Canada has prepared a Manifesto. listing eight reasonable demands which, we believe. Canadian loyalists should make of their public officials with respect to the Monarchy For mstarwt, Wt' want the Canadian Citaenship Act It: be amended to remow any doubt that the members of our Royal Family are indeed Canadians: we wr,h the slatu~ (If GUI) SAVE THE QUEEN a's Hoya) Anthem In kw enshrined try “alum and w: wish lo Net' the proud. indigenous namr "Dominion ha}. restored as our mammal holiday, rejecting the ,leepy duplicn) by which "Canada my wax imposed upon Us Headerx'whu might wish to oblum "ne ur murr cupIew of this Manifesto for their own consideration and. hopefully. for passing Yet one more baby's death at Sick Children's Hospital is being investigated by homlude detectives, The infant's body contained elevated levels of digoxin. and the death occurred despite a recently adopted unit-dose drug distribution system which allows only single doses of drugs such as digoxin lo be administered Too bad Johnson wasn't just a drunken driver The news of this infant's death became public shortly after tho Attorney-General had announced a public inquiry into 28 suspicious infant deaths at the hospital According to the Attorney-General. it is quite conceivable that a person could admit to murder during the publit inquiry l wssh to take issue with the editorial "Double Standard" devoted to the news item that Professor Leo Johnson is fighting to save his teaching career at University of Waterloo In some sense. it is unfortunate for Johnson that his crime had not been simply to have got drunk and slaught- ered someone with his car He would have spent some months locked away but then returned to his livelihood without editorial comment The problem with drunken driving is that there is so little disgust associated with the crime that it borders on the acceptable Yet the disgust associated with sexual crime against children makes almost any revenge seem inade- quate So the indUpant editorial writer heaps coals of fire on what he identifies as hypocrisy in the debate over John, son's retaining his job.

Good and critical thinking I don't follow any paper closely. but your articles reflect some good and critical thinking. - I am responding to your April 20 issue on “It won't work." a clever yet serious response to Dr Farina. Interestingly enough. l am working on a book on work and take very much the tack you do, I gave the Etsy lecture on work here a few weeks ago and the lecture will be published. I have a copy of that lecture to loan you if you would be interested. I am "i/ti finished C,irrijait on work. and would be glad to show you the table of contents if you are interested, .

People testifying before the Royal Commission will be able to use the protection of the Canada Evidence Act, "That means any evidence they give cannot be used against them in a court of law". he said Police will be monitoring the inquiry and could lay charges on any new information. but he said "we have to face up to the reality that someone could admit to being the perpetrator of these crimes and we might not be able to lay charges because the only evidence is that person's own admission."

I mean, chatting up about a storm. In any situation. Cocktail parties, boy first meets girl. tongue goes gah-gah. Boss takes client out to dinner. Heck. could be someone visiting a guy in the hospital who's just undergone a 36-hour quadrup- le by-pass, triple organ transplant.

Give me a break. What I would like to know is who decided when, that the instant remedy for silence. the ultimate conversation- fueler. would be a discussion about the weather? Who said. “oh. oh, I don't think this sale is going good.

Maybe I'm way off base, maybe clothes aren't the right way to approach a conversation. Let‘s see... In our sad economic times. how 'bout starting every conversation off with a mention of money? Like this: "Gee Tom, see you‘re still driving that old 63 crapbox. aren't you ever going to bring home a salary that supports your family in style?" "Gee, Gerald; I saw these men putting your furniture out on the street the other day. Like we're good friends man, anytime you need a few bucks. you know you can come to me."

ICs not nearly as obtrusive slipping weather comments in after impressing the hell out of someone with your knowledge of far more worldly items And if you’re not up on dress codes. or financial matters, hey. it just doesn't matter. Talk about world lead- ers: -Did'ja hear Generalissio France- sco Franco has been offered six million dollars to reincarnate and play himself in Richard Attenborough‘s next movie?" Talk about food in the fridge: "Boy. I used to think cabbage kept a lot longer than lettuce, did I ever get the shock of my life when I opened the crisper drawer yesterday." And if you feel inadequate in any subject lines. as a last resort. talk about the meaning of life. Like: "These days I feel like just another rattling wheel in the shopping cart of life." Or, "Doesn't he make you feel like just another splattered bug on the windshield of life?" _ Or, "I exist merely as another jammed coffee cup in the vending machine of life." See.

Every time you begin a conversation with a comment on the weather, send me five dollars. But it will help keep my furniture in off the street. ' A spokesman for the Hospital for Sick Children. reacting to the Attorney-Garner- al's announcement of a Royal Commission or Inquiry into the deaths in the hospital's cardiac wards between now and will. stated that the hospital has lived with low morale for two years. has continued to provide good service, and will do the same during the public inquiry. No. you're right, it won't help me kick the habit. we can resolve all complaints our. selves. Complaints that can't be re- solved should be addressed to the Ontario Press Council.
