means confined to the semi skilled or the blue collar worker but has reached serious dimensions in whitecollar fields as well Some studies havc shown that our professional produrtivdy is some 20 per

announced he was quit ting as the representative for Rurnabw Richmondlmlta The press release an nouncing his plans to become host of an open linc radio show was full of glowing terms about his achievements and it meant to refer to his inctmnc career But the typist obvioust wasnt con centrating too well that day After leaving school Reynolds entered the marketing profession and like he was to do later in politics had mediocre carver Just lllt other day Scan OSullivan the 23 ycar old HP from Ilannltonchtworth sur priscd all his colleagues by announcing he was quitting Parliament for

into decline and the Liberals are on the way to resurgen ce Ontario could end up with better political structure For three decades now this structure has been very wishywashy We have had three parties in the field but only the NDP has had any real identity of its own and this hasnt been sufficient The Liberals and the Conservatives have stood for essentially the same things There have been no clear lines of difference The essential appeal of the two parties has been we can do it better While the NDP though with some identity of its own has been simply too narrow It has concentrated on social problems and economically it has been practically barren This was perhaps not too had some 10 to 15 years ago when we were in an era of social de velopment But today when our most crucial problems are economic the part is simply outmoded LIBERAIS DRASTIC The Liberals have already shown that they intend to carve out for themselves position distinct from the onservatives In the recent election they focused their major attention on spending and cutting it down Historically this perhaps should be the Con servat ive position And to some extent it is in that the govern ment is following restraint program But indications have been that the Liberals would go much further From the attitude they have taken to date one can surmise that they would favor drastic revision of our present spending That they would take very cold look at all spending and efficiency and probably end up with fresh approach to governing IIOKE If this happens the public will be the bencficiary The voter will have distinct choice and not have to base his vote mainly on personal stature of candidates which has been largely the case in recent years And this of course will mean better politics and should mean better government In saying the NDI is going into decline in no way see the part as disappearing And this is good It is our social conscience And as such it has place Canadas story Wolfe won on plains By BOB llllll This is the anniversary of the battle of the Plains of brahain one of the most im portant in world history It was on Sept 13 1759 that Wolfe used commando tactics to get his troops onto the Plains of Abraham and defeated Montcalm The battle virtually scttlcd the future dcvclopincnt of North America although Montreal did not capitulate until the follow ing ycar One question that ariscs is could Mont calm havc avoided defeat if he had kept his trixips inside the fortifications of Quebec rather than having them fight decisive bat tleoutsidc Gcn Murray went out the following April when Gen Levis tried to recapture Quebec and was defeated but managed to get the sur vivors of his army back inside thc for tifications He held on there until early May when units of the Royal Navy arrived and Levis had to withdraw Again in 1775 the Americans surrounded Qucbcc in Novcmbcr but Gov tarletons deputy apt raniahc kclt his troops inside the fort The position was Iicld until the Royal Navy lifted the siege the following May Ilindsight indicates that Montcalm might have avoided dctcat if Iic Iiad forced Wolfe to attack the fort There were oiin few wccks left bcforc thc ships would have to leave the river or else tlicy would have been frozen thcrc for the winter If Wolfc had not bccn successful in I759 would the Iiritisli havc inadc aiiollicr cffort to capture anada Ihc conisc of
