But, says my friend, why do we kids have to memorize everything? Why can‘t we have projects instead? (I love projects.) With books, notes. and other reference materials. This, it seems to both of us, makes a lot of sense, for what doctor, worker, farmer or housewife would be able to perform daily tasks without the tools of one kind or anâ€" other necessary to do the job? 4 Planners of the study Murray V.

HANNAH BEDELL. This kind of paperwork frenzy and the midâ€" night oilâ€"burning leading up to it only show how retentive a memory the young person has â€" now. Later may be a different story, but now he must learn to reason, compare and decide for himself. h He must, of course, know where to obtain the materials used in formulating ideas and concepts, and/or producing the things people need to live. More importantly, he must knowâ€" how to use these materials. This he can achieve by developing his thought processes to the full! In short, the choice North York council and taxpayers have to make is between one plan that iust might work and another that definitely will work. Here are several of the airport property‘s biggest advantages: 1. When the Spadina expressway and rapid transit is completed in a few years, the Downsview complex would have direct access to downtown Torâ€" onto. 2. It would probably receive endorseâ€" ment from all segments of the comâ€" munity rather than opposition from the hundreds of established Willowâ€" dale businesses and 2,100 homeownâ€" ers who will be forced to sell and relocate if the Yonge redevelopment plan proceeds. 3. There would be a complete control of ground costs. Land speculators would not make a dime at the pubâ€" lic‘s expense since the building sites would all be communityâ€"owned and leased to the developers. 4. Costly litigation, timeâ€"consuming expropriation procedures and bitter conflict would be entirely eliminated. If, on the other hand, council could convince the Federai government to turn over its marginally used Downsâ€" view airport property the plan would have a much, much better chance of complete success.‘ _ If North York council adopts the Parkin and Jones proposal, it will be taking a great gamble. â€" 0_ values continue the present inflationâ€" ary trend, what will happen if deve‘ lopers cannot acquire building sites for less than $12 a square foot? Will the taxpayer simply witness another example of millions of dollars being poured down the drain? Irving W. Feldman, 0.0. MOVED TO A NEW > LOCATION Scarlat Albright, O.D.

Wilson was quick to impose a trade embargo which hurt the natives a good deal more than it did the prosperous whites, but to the appeals of swift measures to overthrow (Continued on page 12) Some years ago I read in the Globe and Mail a London Observer dispatch that said there is great economic desâ€" parity in Southern Rhodesia. The report stated that the minority white population owned nearly all the industry and commercial enterprises in the country as well as 85 p.c. of the fertile soil. The natives on the other hand were only entitled to earn a marginal living on the sand velt and scrub lands even thgu_xh they outnumbered the white settlers 10 to 1. I knew at that time that there -;o;ia'-l;;'c;);lfi‘{c{ ‘over the gross inequality of wealth and indeed there was. Two years ago when the Labour government in Great Britain attempted IScdGity en uibinedramintr I tdb f se en e e e nttmeted to introduce a system of proportional representation in parâ€" liament, relations cooled to such a degree that the Rhodesian government (if you can call it that) declared unilateral independence. The Wilson government branded the declaration illegal and under international law had a perfect right to march int at country since Smith only represented a small portionl\of the population. The north and south Vietnamese don‘t see it as a war between Communism and freedom â€" they see it as a war to rid themselves of a rotten dictatorship fed and sustained by a white plague. Quite frankly I see it as white racism too. While the U.S. president is waging the murderous hot war against people with yellow skins, Great Britain is doing a magnificent job in discrediting the white race too by a slightly more subtle technique. those of essentially Angloâ€"Saxon ancestory. Look at.the war in Viet Nam as an example. After the French had their can knocked off and were forced_at gun point to pull out of Indonesia, the United States government decided to move in to support a tinâ€"pot puppet government in Saigon that in no way represents the people of that beautiful little country. When the National Liberation Front, the Viet Cong, the Buddhists and people rose en masse remove that dictatorship that was (and is) largely made up of great land owners, generals and*The Roman Catholic hierarchy, the U.S. sent in hundreds of thousands of men and the most advanced military hardware the world has even seen to quell the uprising. Despite the half million men attempting to control a tiny hunk of foreign real estate, the Americans are losing troops and ground because the large majority of South Vietnamese people actively support the Viet Cong in the hills and forests. Guerillas would be wiped out in a day in any war if they didn‘t have the popular support of the masses. So here we have the mighty U.S. dumping bombs, bullets, fire and death on men, women and children as a deterrent to Communism and to protect a twoâ€"bit ruthless dictatorâ€" ship despised by everyone except a few profiteers, feudal landlords and army generals.
