2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 3, 1987 NDP will circulate petition for election "Ed Broadbent's call for an elec- tion on free trade is right,' agreed Marg Wilbur, delegate to a meeting of the New Democrat's Federal Council in Ottawa on Saturday, Oc- tober 24. "Our local riding associa- tion intends to circulate a petition calling for an election." A decision affecting our life as a nation must be made by the nation itself. 'Canadians deserve a full na- Nurses (From page 1) is not optimistic the dispute will be resolved quickly, she said the nurses are heartened by the fact that other health care groups support their stand and Regional councillors are at least taking the time to listen seriously to the nurses arguments for higher wages. tional debate before the government commits future generations to economic, cultural and political ab- sorption by the United States. Mrs. Wilbur also endorsed Broad- bent's remarks citing Mulroney's trade deal as only the latest in a string of broken promises such as de-indexing of pensions and un- fairness in taxes. Mulroney had no mandate for the deal. In fact it was Mulroney who once said, 'It (free trade) affects Canadian sovereign- ty, and we will have none of it." While pointing out that we have much in common with the U.S. and that we will always trade with them, Mrs. Wilbur also emphasized that we in Canada should control our own destiny and seek to preserve the things that make us different, our diverse culture, programs like medicare, our mix of public and private enterprise. We can't give up Canadian control of investment screening, energy supplies, drug pricing, and film distribution just to appease the Americans. Mrs. Wilbur, Secretary of the Durham Northumberland NDP sup- ported Broadbent's view that the icting statements coming out of Washington and Ottawa over the im- plications of the deal show that "the Americans know they took the Canadian government to the cleaners." Mrs. Wilbur said that the Mulroney Reagan deal will have a negative impact right here in Durham. This is shown by conces- sions such as elimination of safeguards in the Auto Pact. Wilf Day, President of the Durham Northumberland New Democrats has called a meeting of the executive to plan the petition campaign on Wednesday, November 4.

It may be only for a minute or two in a crowded store, but even that can be traumatic. Child safety officers urge that in order to prevent panic - parents prepare their children early for the possibility and perhaps against help from the wrong person. They suggest that parents make a game out of teaching: "What would you do if you got lost in the supermarket?' "I'd cry." "Then what would you do?" The child should understand that he or she v ol ¥ Settlement House . a Country Store fh [1] " I il I} al Pant Wl arnt mary a, Sl 53 A Imagine yourself a child again, at Christmas Time, nh in the country.

Parents should point out who the clerks are - they usually wear a uniform of some kind and a name tag - and explain that one of them can always be asked for help. A clerk can take the child to the manager if necessary, and the manager will find the parent. Parents should explain what the child should do if he or she gets lost in another place: the department store, on the way home from school, or anywhere on the street. Very early, children should be taught to use a pay telephone. Parents should make sure their child always has a quarter or whatever the public telephones in their locality require. It should be stressed that this is not spending money, and that it is to be used on- ly for an emergency telephone call. Children also should memorize their telephone number and that of a neighbour who is likely to be at home if parents are not. Where these programs are in operation, children should have the Block Parent and Block Store pro- grams explained to them so they will feel free to go to one for help if it is needed. They should also be taught that the police officer is their friend.
