Mainstream Canada The Importance Of Saying No Even the most liberal mother and father must learn, by the time their children reach about age two, how to say no. They give in at their peril. It's a lesson the moms and dads in our various governments might apply to their bailiwicks, whether they're dealing with their own offsrping, such as Crown corporations, or waifs at the door looking for corporate handouts. The hard fact is that for the most part bailouts are a waste of public money. No doubt some firms will die and many employees will suffer job CLINIC Dr. VETERINARY ven 2, ' a ty 4 N oan es SS "er i Benz of the Highview Animal Clinic will be in Terrace Bay Wednesday, August 28th on Highway 17 in the Scout Hall for appointments call Pam Jones at 825-3714 setbacks if government largesse dries up. But the bulk of evidence, from this continent, Europe and even Japan shows that what economists call "industrial policy" - which really means government in- tervention - is not productive. Look at New York City, for example, which in 1975 appealed to Washington for a federal life buoy to keep its head above water. Then-President Jerry Ford sent them packing with nary a penny. Today, the Big Apple is not only not rotten, but claims to be the healthiest municipality in the U.S. That same kind of will- ingness to say no has been evident in much of the economic strategy of the US. And now their economy is adding about 300,000 new jobs a month, mostly in the service sector which just happens to be largely made up of smaller firms. On an individual scale, a survey of two million workers who had found jobs after being displaced in the recent economic upheaval revealed that although many were mak- ing less money, fully 55 per cent were taking home as much or more in their new positions. In the 1970s, U.S. employment grew by 25 per cent. Translated into jobs, that means that in the last decade, while Europe was losing more than three million jobs, the U.S. add- ed 24 million from a smaller employment base. Even Japan's employ- ment growth rate, at 10 per cent during the 1970s, falls far behind.the U.S. where government policy en- courages competition and discourages direct govern- ment assistance. The U.S. nurtures the formation of small firms, yet accepts the cruel fact that many will fail. It realizes that the important point that is that business births outnumber deaths.

In a statement to staff, Ian Bain, executive direc- tor, said: "I believe this policy will not only protect to some extent the comfort and health of staff and visitors, it will also be an appropriate statement bya major health-related agen- cy to the community at large about one of the ma- jor preventable health pro- blems of our time."" The Easter Seal Society campaigns against smoking by expectant parents because of risk to the fetus and the newborn child which is linked to tobacco- smoke poisons being ab- sorbed by pregnant smokers and carried through the bloodstream. Research suggests that mothers who smoke during pregnancy give birth to smaller babies and have twice the risk of having babies with birth defects. The decision was taken following a survey last fall of the attitude of Easter Seal staff members about smoking. Among the con- clusions reached was that a vast majority of staff do not smoke. Also the majority of non-smokers felt ge tt vad hy hemo exposed to tobacco smoke at work. Bain said the policy was arrived at "after very much deliberation and consulta- tion with smokers and non- smokers." 'He said the Society will share on a 50-50 basis the cost of any employee taking part in a stop-smoking program. The Easter Seal Society looks after approximately 6,700 physically disabled children and youth in On- tario and has 23 district of- fices in the province. ly 40 minutes.
