As an instinctive small "¢" conservative, believ- ing in an individual's responsibility to take care of himself, and to take responsibility for his own actions, I find myself increasingly a stranger in my own land.

September 4, 1985 -- 5 letters what the Progressive Conservative Party stands for, but it certain- ly isn't conservatism. | vote for that party, but only through lack of choice. Only PCs make a pretense of interest in the principles of conser- vative philosophy and managing the economy in a bussinesslike man- ner. If a real Conser- vative party were to Bay St. parking Dear Sir, I am writing this letter regarding the proposed changes to the Legion Ball Park. After reading the arti- cle last week where Mr. Mark expressed his con- cerns, | must say that we have to agree with him on the parking issue. As a resident of Bay St., we are accustomed to hav- ing both sides of our street lined with cars ap- proximately four to five nights a week from May through September while the ball practices and games take place. This makes it very difficult to enter in and out of our driveways safely as the vision is often blocked by cars. Also it is quite hazardous for children crossing the street to play in the playground, and Bay St. has many small children. I would suggest that with a larger ball dia- SCHOOL SUPPLIES Pencils - Lined Paper Erasers - Note Books Math Sets - etc PORT PERRY STAR 235 Queen Street 985-7383 mond there be **No Park- ing from6p.m.-8 p.m." signs posted and people using the diamond be in- structed to park in the Legion Parking lot. Perhaps this would help alleviate the problem for both Bay and Balsam Street residents. Yours truly, Mr. and Mrs. G. Copithorn, Bay Street, Port Perry. Small "C" Conservatives? come into being, I would join the bulk of Cana- dians and vote them into power. Like them, I want to work hard with a minimum of taxes and government in- terference, and take care of me and mine. And, I'd like to decide who deserves handouts of my money. Government is lousy at the job. My message to any politician who wants my support? Be sure of your principles, then stick to them, no matter which way your party tells you to vote. More and more of us simple taxpayers are watching your per- formance. We want what we paid for. Yours truly, Glen E. Morehouse, R.R. 2, Seagrave.

As a result, I receive a stream of garbage mail containing fascinating material about some product or other that is being pushed by the PR firm. Usually, I spot it right away and toss it in the round filing cabinet without even opening it. Today came one of these missives, and, distracted by something else, I had opened the thing and read a paragraph or two before I realized it was just another piece of puffery. It was headed NEWS FROM: The Hamburg Group For Release: Immediately. All press releases say the latter. Anyway, I thought it would be a pitch for Mac- Donald's or a string quartet. It wasn't. It was a series of little articles about Hamburg and Germany. touting that city's great variety of attractions. Such junk has about as much place in this column as an account of the origins of bee-keeping in Basutoland. And I'm supposed to print it free. What dummies these PR people are. However. I'd already read enough to hook me on the first articles. entitled: Brewery's Waste Energy To Heat Hospital It didn't make sense at first Why should breweries waste energy to heat a hospital, unless they're trying to make amends to all the people who wind up in hospital with cirrhosis of the liver from drink- ing their poison' I took another look at the heading, spotted the apostrophe, and now it made sense A brewery will deliver heat and hot water to a hospital. As part of its brewing process, the brewery used to end up with a lot of excess heat that must be cooled before it 1s released into the air. Now, instead of being wasted, that heat will be channeled into the hospital where it will be put to good use. Cost of the deal, equipment and stuff, is about 400,000 marks, to be assumed by the city. The debt will be liquidated through the savings on energy that would otherwise have to be purchased. Are you listening, Labatts, Molsons et al" Instead of pouring money into sports and all these phoney ads, about as subtle as a kick in the ribs, indicating that beer- drinking will make your life macho, full of fun and beautiful girls in skimpy swim suits, why don't you channel your heat into hospitals" Think of the free publicity? Ain't them Germans something, though? If they didn't start a war every so often and get clobbered, they'd own half the world, with their resourcefulness and hard work. Last time I saw Hamburg was in 1944, and it was literally hamburg. The RAF had firebombed it by night and the USAAF had pounded it by day until it was heap of rubble I was a prisoner of war and saw it from a train window on my way to an interrogation centre in' Frankfurt. Forty-odd years later, it has risen from the ruins like a phoenix and is a booming city. visited by over a million travellers in 1981 But in Hamburg-Schmamburg I'm not gooing to urge my readers to go there It was the article on heating that caught my eye. Aside from the breweries in Canada, this country has another industry that could produce enough heat so that, if it were properly channeled, we could thumb our collective noses at the Arabs. I'm talking about politics. Town and city councils produce enough hot air to heat at least one hospital within their limits. Provincial legislative produce enough hot air to replace half the oil used in their provinces. And from that vast deposit of natural gas known as Ottawa issues daily enough hot air to heat Montreal's Olympic Stadium, even though it has no roof. And that's only touching the bases, without going to the outfield or the infield. Think of all the hot air produced by teachers and preachers, union leaders, abortionists, and anti- abortionists, public relations people, medical associa- tions, school boards. And there's lots more where that comes from. The squeals of those caught with a mortgage to be renew- ed. the moans of farmers who are losing their shirts, the bellows of angry small business men; all these are wasting energy by blowing hot air into our rather frigid climate, there to be dispersed into nothing Add to this, all the hot air that is poured into our telephone lines, that is batted back and forth over business luncheons and at parties, and over the breakfast table. It's perfectly simple. All we need is a means of bot- tlir * the stuff somehow, and distributing it to the right places. If our scientists can send a missile to Mars, sure- ly they can find a method of storing and channeling the incredible quantities of hot air that rise in clouds over our country Peter Lougheed might have to cap some of his oil wells. but if somebody came up with the solution, we could not only tell the Arabs what to do with their oil. We could probably buy Saudi Arabia Maybe I'll drop a line to the Mayor of Ham- burg, see what he suggests
