Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, July 20, 1983 Mainstream Canada: Co-operation needed by W. ROGER WORTH Virtually everyone in the country understands that the nation's short- term economic outlook is clouded, to say the least. More than 1.2 million Canadians are jobless. Gnterest rates hover at high, high levels, creat- ing havoc for homeown- 'ers, as well as business- es large and small. Infla- tion Surpasses 11 per cent. And fallout from a world-wide re- cession has resulted in a fear among Canadians that hasn't been evi- dent since the Great De-. pression of the 1930s. - Quite naturally, everyone is seeking a scapegoat; someone to blame for our present problems. Governments, and particularly the federal government, certainly can.be blamed for many: of our difficulties. Ot- tawa, for example, brought down a sstill- unpassed budget so damaging to business investment and risk tak- ing that it seemed de- signed to create even greater economic prob- dems. Meanwhile, the num- -ber of business failures has rocketed and, rather than developing new jobs, most small and medium-sized enter- prises are trying to mini- mize layoffs as they fight for survival. But then, everyone is supposed to be hurting. Yet the hurt is not being shared equally. Even now, Canada's powerful union leaders argue vehemently that they won't pull back on wage demands, let alone negotiate "givebacks" and actual wage and benefits reductions si- miliar to those nego- tiated by some U.S. unions. Further, the coun- try's public sector em- ployees, who are gen- erally immune to lay- off, are seeking even more money. And with their overwhelming power to shut down es- sential services, they'll probably get it. Those Canadians still - working, and business- es earning profits will be forced to pay the bill through even higher taxes. Simply put, there is no easy solution to our problems. But all of us are located in a listing boat called Canada and it may be time to con- sider co-operation, rather than confronta- tion, as we attempt to right the vessel. The present fighting between business, government and labor is counterproductive and can only make our prob- lems worse. MARSH WORLD Wa his attractive member of the Arum family is common in the quiet, shal- low backwater of marshes, ponds and lakes across Canada. Often found in groups, the plants grow toa height of about 20cm., with clusters of broad, heart- shaped leaves and striking flower heads. The tiny yel- low flowers are borne on a club-like spadix, around ter Calla (Calla palustris) which. rises a pure white hood or spathe. The plants are perennial and new growth starts from rooting nodes on the thick,creeping rootstock.
