_‘I‘m busy.? It is really not the costly brochure that some people have told you. In fact, it cost about half of the lowest estimate given to The Chronicle; no more than is usually spent for the variety of printâ€" ed pieces given out at election time ... and thrown straight into the garbage. I am confident that this booklet won‘t be tossed away lightly. As founding chairman of the Heritage Foundation, I am proud of the booklet, and again let me thank those persons who donated their time to make it an item of real historical significance. Sincerely. Bob Gramlow Progressive Conservative Waterloo North ‘waterioo chronicle A few years ago a group of business execuâ€" tives met for a conference at which they were to get away from the dayâ€"toâ€"day concerns of their work and consider their general way of life in its widest contexts. At the end of the conference they were asked to present their conc'lusiogs in a simple sentence. After much discussiort they agreed on this statement: ‘"The nose to the grindstone is a useful, necessary, and becoming posture for business, but there is much more in life than can be seen from this posture.‘" That sentence should perhaps be on a card on the desk of every business and professional person, all who suffer from what has come to be called ‘"hurry sickness" and who feel that new ideas cannot be entertained without an appointment. All households in Waterloo North will now have received the heritage folder distributed by me as my main election document in the June 9 election. I hope that many will appreciate the fine sketches and interesting information gathered for the broâ€" chure and will want to keep it, and reread it, long after the election is over. And as someone, laying violent hands on Kipling, has put it: ‘‘If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds‘ worth of distance run, You‘ll have the world and everything that‘s in it â€" About the only thing many of us are not too busy for is to tell others how terribly busy we are. We tend to be like the fairies in the opening scene of the Gilbert and Sullivan light opera, Iolanthe, who sing in a sprightly manâ€" ner, ‘‘If you ask the special function Of our neverâ€"ceasing motion, We reply without compunction That we haven‘t any notion." Many of us do seem to think that really to live is to move faster and faster. Why? "We haven‘t any notion.‘"‘ The Editor to spend two weeks waiting if they missed a stageâ€"coach, today we fly into a rage if we miss one section of a revolving door. we are, on the whole, a busy, restless generaâ€" tion. We tend to frantic busyness even in our recreations and hobbies. We like to be upâ€"andâ€" doing all the time.
