The meeting closed with the singing of God Save The Queen follow- ed with the serving of lunch. Spring Thaw for pessimism by W. ROGER WORTH Pessimism, it seems, prevails. Nevertheless, spring has arrived, the sun has been rejuvenat- ing the nation's land- scape (in most areas of the country) and many of us are finally over- coming - the winter blahs. In that vein, we searched for a few posi- tive events that would support our contention that things of a posi- tive nature are happen- ing and will continue to * Some consumers may have difficulty under- standing the proposi- tion, but the nation's farmers are among the most productive in the world, which results in our food prices being among the lowest any- . where. In West Ger- many and Japan, for example, families pay 35 per cent or more of their income for food. In Ca- nada, we pay about 22 per cent. * * Oddly enough, there is reason to feel positive about the political situ- ation. The federal Pro- gressive Conservatives already have a new lead- er, the Liberals are in the process of select- "poe SPECIAL AC oil filters for most General: Motors and light duty trucks.

GUARANTEED SERVICE GUARANTEED GM PARTS GUARANTEED PRICE ing a standard-bearer and the New Democrats appear to be revamping some of their policies. In a nutshell, the poli- tical scene is changing. More important than leadership, though, is the fact that every poli- tical party is re-assess- ing its policies and, in many cases, grassroots Canadians are involved in the process. As someone once said, participatory democracy is a cause worth fighting for. The more gfassroots input the better. * * te It's good to hear that the post office, unfairly using taxpayer subsi- dized employees and premises, hasn't mana- ged to put any commun- ity newspapers out of business. Indeed, Canada Post President, Michael Warren, ap- pears to have taken a more conciliatory atti- tude toward the postal practices that saw sub- sidized posties lining up advertising flier deals that effectively re- duced revenues to the nation's community papers. Nevertheless, Warren is now using taxpayer subsidized postal fa- cilities to push mer- chandise, competing un- fairly with local retail- ers. That practice should be stopped. * * * Revénue Canada has really been under fire of late, but there's a posi- tive side to the story. When Prime Minister Trudeau announced that the Department's deputy minister would be removed from the agency, it was a clear admission that serious problems existed. What's important here is that grassroots input somehow upset the delicate balance of bureaucratic power in the nation's capital, even though many who complained about RevCan did so fearing retaliation from the De- partment. The refreshing lesson from the RevCan situa- tion is that the govern- ment establishment can be solidly defeated when it is wrong. It happens so seldom that we some- times forget it's the people's representa- tives, and not the bureaucrafts, who are supposed to be running the show. Pp oets Winnie Campbell " To Schreiber" Little town of Schreiber Nestled in the hills,- Quiet and unassuming, With many lakes and hills. To city folk with other ways, The town may seem too tame; A place only worthy To fish and hunt big game. But when you linger here awhile, You find a friendship rare, Sincere and warm - the handclasp, And folks who really care. And all around like sentinels, The glorious hills reach far, Stretching up to Heaven, To touch a shining star. COTNET 28 to June 21.
