It appears the federal Liberals are determined to send the conâ€" stitutional package to Britain substantially as is, and it appears more and more certain that a good number of British MPs are equally determined not to approve the package. What we have here are the makings of a classic confrontation. What will happen if the British parliament does not pass the Canadian government request? LETTERS _ Is it conceivable Prime Minister Trudeau will initiate steps, in whatever form, to disengage Canada from the mother country in lessâ€"thanâ€"ceremonious or preâ€"emptory fashion? _ â€" _ Could some type of unilateral independence be looming on the horizon scanned by Liberal eyes? |___ _ _ _ _ . . â€"If _s'o what then will be the attitude of Ontario premier Bill Davis? o O _ While visiting Waterloo last week, he declared his undying alleâ€" giance to the Queen, while begging off questions on the current political controversy s_u_rroun(!ing British‘-Canadian relations. r‘lsérihaps Davis should speak more lucidly and feel a greater concern for the possibilities i.nherent.in the Liberal scenario. _ After zil'l; could Her Majesty remain Queen of Canada if Engâ€" land were repudiated in an Ottawaâ€"Wesminster pattle? Without a harmonious bilateral accord, it‘s unlikely the Queen will remain head of state here. And because the possibility exists, even if not likely, Davis should pull the wool up from over his eyes. “"Sz;fééharding the Queen may mean preserving Britishâ€" Canadian relations between two parliaments, both now apparentâ€" ly bent on collision. Womens‘ cause not well served In response to Jane F. Gentleman‘s letter with regards to "Al Johnson‘s Wednesday Girl," I would like to present another side of the coin. It is not apparent to me how the wording can be taken as offensive in any way. _ _ I am of the opinion that this feature of your paper is not in the least unpleasant or sexist. I would like to know how a photograph of a nice looking girl can offend anyone? The Random House Dictionary describes the term ‘girl‘ as being ‘Informal. A woman. ‘‘Perhaps the Kâ€"W Status of Women Group should assure themselves of the meaning of the bothersome word rather than placing their own somewhat tarnished and twisted definition upon it. a380¢.41.0n In response to their objection that the girl‘s last name is not used, the reason could very well be to protect her from unwanted attention. After all, it is not a news story that must be verified in this way that is being presented. To defend my opinion against the groups last two complaints, name]y: o _ (3) The use of possessive syntax in the title.

Must she conform to standards put forth by a group that is obviously extremely subjecâ€" tive in their views? I have great respéct for the concerns of these women involved in the group, however I feel that what should be their true objecâ€" tives are being dwarfed by a relatively unimâ€" portant entertainment feature. They should be concentrating their efforts on such things as Equal pay for equal work, equal opportunities on the job market and equal responsibility in forming the future of our nation. Could the answer to this problem be to feaâ€" ture a "Wednesday Boy‘? My vote on this is YES! With respect to these critical objectives I cannot see how a photograph in a newspaper can compare to them in importance. Obviously this is not the opinion of the Kâ€"W Status of Women Group or they would never have wasted their time on a discussion and vote of such a petty issue. I invite all criticism of my opinion as I feel that I have presented a valid argument. This would be petty and below the ideals of Publisher Manager: Editor: establisheqa 1854 Paul Winkler Ms .D. Gray Waterloo No right to impose fluoride Your article of Jan. 21. ‘*Dentists Conâ€" cerned â€" oppose fluoride vote‘‘ interested me greatly for the comments attributed to Mr. L.H. Bowen of the Canadian Dental Associaâ€" tion. I see that he feels that fluoridation saâ€" fety *‘should be determined by medical and scientific authorities and not by people like you and me. Frankly, I am becoming a little frosted at being told what‘s good for me and as a conâ€" sequence. in this case, of being required to ingest something because somebody has deâ€" cided that it‘s for my own good. _ Well! Well! so much for the opinions of the likes of you and me. _ _ s e & It seems to me that if and when I decide that sodium monofluorophosphate <which is in fluoride toothpaste) is good for me, then I am free to buy that particular kind. If I beâ€" lieve otherwise then I‘ll buy another kind. They‘re just naturalâ€"born crusaders and they‘ll be looking for something else to foist on us, always ‘"for our own good‘‘ of course with the help of all those scientists and asâ€" sorted experts. f It bugs me to think that if the ‘‘*medical and scientific authorities" along with the "doâ€" gooders‘‘ and other saviors of dumb people like me have their way then I‘ll have no choice but to brush my teeth (false or naâ€" tural) with fluoridated water, gargle with it, shower with it. have my socks washed in it and drink the darn stuff too. _ _ I can just see them now, whipping up all us dumbâ€"dumbs to a frenzy about mixing a little lobeline sulfate into the water, that‘s the cheâ€" mical that‘s in Bantron and similar preparaâ€" tions that suppress the desire to smoke. Just think what the noâ€"smoking crowd could do with that! Right from infancy, the children would have soaked up so much lobeline sulphate they could be formed into armies to march over to Delhi and such places to burn up the tobacco fields during their summer vacaâ€" tions, all for the ‘"good of the people."‘ Just think of it, all those nice slim parents every Sunday going up to the cemetery to visit the graves of all those nice slim chilâ€" dren, with clean lungs and shiny teeth lying there, dead as doornails from all those helpâ€" ful chemicals they started to ingest with the infant formula and couldn‘t get away from all their little short lives, until their intesâ€" tines and liver and bowels were all chewed up. That last prospect alone would send Mr. Bowen and the dentists and crowds of doâ€" gooders into ecstasies of joy because they would know that we were all dead, but it was Then theâ€"doâ€"gooders could go to work on fat people. They could insist that diuretic chemiâ€" cals which are the active ingredients in appeâ€" tite suppressants be added to the water â€" not a lot, just a smidgeon or two, and lo and beâ€" hold, no more fat people in the Kâ€"W area. for our own good they?
