the tribune thursday october 13 1977 5 for seniors the fourth quarter mrs cmd ottawa journal reader the journal recently joined jus so welcome aboard writes your column on smaller meals for seniors jgets my support and that of many other older people i am sure visiting sa sister in bognor regis on the english channel jeach day ue enjoed lwalks along the sea front by leslie holbrook then to a restaurant where the menu featured smaller servings for those who wanted them i not only enjoyed the meals but felt happy to lea e an empty plate and not be wasting food in this hungry world mrs d also noted canadian experiences similar to those i reported earlier refusal to serve smaller portions unless you are a child lets have your experiences too because im hammering away at this nonsense in the restaurant trade magazine for which i write i am taken to task by a columbian reader in new westminster bc widowed but a few- months she says this about my recent column on remarriage play the field you say as though the most im portant thing on earth was just a game you are wrong mr holbrook or you have never known love just as i enter the fourth 1 fighting gag rule for generations electricity users around the world will likely pay higher prices as a result of an international uranium cartel i established in 1972 with hhe assistance of the canadian government i we in ontario will feel the brunt of this price rigging as we move more and more into nuclear t power by 1995 ontario hydro plans to have two- thirds of our electricity 1 generated from nuclear i fuel j v such cartel activites iare usually illegal in canada the combines investigation act is quite clear it states everyone who con spires combines agrees or arranges with another person a to limit unduly the facilities for trans porting producing manufacturing sup plying storing or dealing in any article b to prevent limit or lessen unduly the manufacture or production of an ar ticle or to enhance unreasonably the price thereof c to prevent or lessen unduly com petition in the production manufacture purchase barter sale storage rental transportation or supply of an article or d to restrain or injure trade or commerce in relation to any article is guilty of- an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for two years in this instance however the government encouraged the establish ment of a secret uranium cartel and even gave an assurance that par ticipants in the cartel would be guaranteed that they would never be prosecuted under canadian law for what they did us gongressman albert gore who has been in vestigating the matter states what they did really was very easy to understand it is not some kind of paper work game what they did is that they just rigged bids and they pretended that they were competing when they really were not they got together behind a closed door and they said ill bid this much you bid a little higher so ill be certain to get the contract they pretended that their bids were real and they deceived the people who asked them to bid to sell them uranium for certain corporations this will mean huge windfall profits when details of the cartel activities began to seep out the government passed an order-in- council making it an offence punishable by fines and jail terms of up to five years to say that what had been done had been done the order-in- council pc 19762368 published in the canada gazette part ii of oc tober 13 1976 read no person who has in his possession or under his control any note document or other written or printed

document or material or the disclosure or com munication of the con tents thereof six members of the tory caucus in ottawa including leader joe clark and myself are challenging regulation in the supreme court of ontario hopefully the gag regulation will not stand as the globe and mail said in an editorial recently the idea that there shall be something that canadians alone are forbidden to speak of or hear about is an idea born of really staggering arrogance it is a cover- up that should be of by sinclair stevens mp this concern to the people of this country we have a government that decided to do something nefarious and then tried to hide its nefarious deed by using its power as a maker oi laws there is in that kind of behaviour a deep disdain for the rights of canadians or as william shakespeare would say truth is truth to the end of reckoning half million dollar tower classicomms new cable television tower is now nearing final com pletion in richmond hill the 250 foot tower which has been con structed at the firms newkirk road location will soon come into operation as a receiving and distribution point for cable tv subscribers across the southern york region the

the microwave concept will be utilized in distributing television signals to pick up points in thornhill markham vaughan and stouffville officials of classic communications ltd have stated that this newly designed microwave technique will greatly improve their subscribers reception and at the same time reduce cable outages caused by local hydro failures the microwave concept is based on the distribution of television signals using a line of sight beam effect because of this many of the cable companys long cable lines will no longer be needed the result for local customers will be cleaner crisper pictures and a greatly reduced chance of reception in terruptions the half million dollar microwave system and tower project has been some three years in the planning and engineering stage and
