industry dominated by foreign interests by donald m deacon mpp yorkcentre yorkcentre at a time when our country is deeply distressed and torn by the recent kidnappings and murder by flq terrorists we find our nation being seriously undermined in ontario by an insidious enemy the foreign textbooks recently a number of thornhill grade 11 parents were appalled to be given american flags which their children had colored and proudly brought home from school they had colored the stars and stripes at the end of the class on work pictures when the teacher had asked them to now color our flag in the childrens workbooks in a recent visit i paid to the library in unionville public school ap proximately nine out of ten books on the shelves were us publications mrs kerr the attractive and popular librarian told me that the selection of books was based on their rating by education book critics apparently our education book critics do not feel canadian authors have found themselves our canadian publishing industry is rapidly becoming completely foreign dominated one of the most aggravating major reasons is the fact that our ontario depart ment of education requires a book to be printed before it is eligible for consideration as a textbook with the com paratively small market open to our canadian publishers compared to us publishers the former simply cannot always risk the substantial cost of printing a manuscript before an indication of the potential market if they could sell canadian text books in the us market it would be possible but that requires a complete us emphasis on all material unfortunately our book critics do not consider this important as a result of their lack of en couragement and support our canadian authors and publishers are rapidly dwindling in influence the government of ontario should be a major factor in reviving and uttaradit thailand mrs alex muir a property owner and former resident at chalk lake northeast of claremont has written a letter from thailand where she is with her husband an engineer on the sirikit dam power project the town where they are located is in north eastern thailand near the laos border on the nan river mr john nolan of stouffville who visited the far east this summer wisited the muirs quite by accident and needless to say they were quite pleased to see someone from the home area so far away since his return mr nolan has received a letter from mrs muir telling of the life in thailand in some of the parts of the country the tourist rarely gets to see she comments as follows the government is not a strict military dictatorship is usually easygoing and lax in enforcing some laws but incredibly stupid in others there is no muzzling of the press except where it concerns the royal family and the prime minister the problem lies in the long chain of dullminded civil servants underpaid and incapable of original thought public enquiries expensive royal com missions and foreign advice are generally not acted upon in our own area an illegal logging operation has been uncovered in volving the taking of 10000 prime teak logs right under the noses of government officials the people are very pleasant and friendly and the common folk of thailand are delightful clever and creative this great source of talent has been scarcely tapped life is quite serene here despite rumours that there are building our canadian publishing industry in stead of the reverse in doing so it would arrest the erosion of our canadian culture resulting from present policies of the department of education about 57 000 thai and pathet lao communist guerillas concentrated just across the border the pattern has been to allpw these large projects such as the one in which my husband is engaged to finish and then perhaps take them over however the country as a whole is quite unaffected by disturbing outside in- remembrance service markham the annual memorial day parade will be held on nov 7 the
