The highlights of the week were a movie called, "A Visit to the Hospital" and one titled, "The Rise and Fall of the Great Lakes." We also toured the hospital with the 3 to 6 year old group. The following day, a visit to the beach provided a lot of fun and enjoyment for all. We hope to see all of you kids again next week and bring along some friends to join in the fun. The Tot Lot staff would like to extend a special thanks to the hospital staff. We had . a great time! We would also like to thank the Chief of Police for his assistance in helping us get the children across the highway safely. Tot Lot Staff -- Governments are distorting the system by W. ROGER WORTH When the politicians and government bureau- crats get as deeply in- volved in' planning and running the system as they are now, distortions arise that have horren- dous effects on the hard- working farmers, manu- facturers and small- time entrepreneurs who really make the economy tick. Two recent, unrelated incidents highlight how serious the situation has become. ¢ With more than 1.5 million people unem- ployed in the country, Canada's farm com- munity reports that hun- dreds of acres of berries have been left to rot in the fields because pick- ers aren't available. The reason? Potential workers fear they will lose unemployment in- surance or social assist- ance support if they work for only a few days, which is common in the berry picking game as employees move from one farm to another. So rather than sign up for farm work, the un- employed continue to draw benefits, while the berries rot. To add in- sult to injury, farmers were required to play the government's red- tape game: forced to fill out extensive govern- ment forms, even if the individual only worked for a few hours. Effectively admitting its mistake, Ottawa be- latedly backed off, relax- ing some of the stiff new regulations. But by that time, the berries. had rotted. There is always next year. © Across the country, governments at all levels are spending money they don't have to provide so-called "job creation" grants to new or expanding business- es, all the while forget- ting about the jobs that will be lost as unsubsi- dized firms have diffi- culty competing with those accepting the handouts. In Hamilton, Ontario, for example, a Winnipeg Major Appliance Repairs Servicing done in your own home on: Ranges, Washers; Dryers, Dishwashers, Fridges, & Electric Hot Water Tanks. Bill Campbell Electric 824-2743 or 824-2574 FOR 'company plans a 302- room hotel that will cost - $15.6-million.. The fed- eral and Ontario govern- - Ments are providing the company with $3.9- million as an outright gift, or a full 25 per cent of the cost of the pro- ject. What's more, the City of Hamilton is spending $1.6-million to build a subbasement and park- ing lot, and another $900,000 for a street overpass. The question: how will other unsubsidized hotels in the city com- pete with the newcomer that has received so many free taxpayer dol- lars? The simple an- swer: they'll have a rough time indeed. If this type of govern- ment largesse was. a single incident, it might not be worth men- tioning. But similar deals are being con- cocted daily in all re- gions of the country as one business after an-' other hops on the gravy train. . The politicians take credit for the "new" jobs, but fail to accept the blame for layoffs at competing forms. The sad fact is, governments are dis-~ torting the competitive, free enterprise system, creating a remarkable advantage for the com- panies that get grants. As Patricia Johnston, senior vice-president of the 64,000 member Canadian Federation of Independent Business said in a recent speech: "Every single meet- ing of small business people I have ever at- tended breaks out into hostility at the very mention of grants. Most of them have suffered from the subsidized competition of a rival. In an environment of 150,000 annual busi- ness start-ups, no grant- ing authority can as-: sure itself that it isn't funding one guy to put another out of busi- ness."' Ontario Home by J.B.
