Pag e sports. bowling MOTORING with Mike Burgess Ontario Anti-Pollution Devices Another Political Football if this isçCal ifornia, where is ail o ur b ea ut i fut1 weather ? Before you t h in k 1t've lost my marbi es and taken a turn for the worst; and send the men i n white coats (or blue shirts), please let me explain. f ed upi l'Ive go t nothing against conforming (if there is a good reason), nor would t want to lkok that beautiful word "lec- ol1og y"I and atti 1t stands for, but wvhen ait these beautifut things are being us- ed (or rather abused) as pot itical foot- ball1 s, (t adders, chariots, etc. ), it r e att1y ge ts m y dander up. In other words, l'lm just plain fed up! Who is running aur Provincial Gov- e rnment anyway? Is that mass of hum- ani ty w e cal I aur et ected representat- i ve s r e a t1 y OUR representatiVeS or jus t Catifarnia capy-cats? Because if aur provinciat fathers are incapable of thi nk ing for themselves, and have ta rety an the Cal ifarnians for guidance, whatdowe need them for? Just think of att the money we would save if we did awaywithOUR governmelt and tet our- se tIves be governed DIRECTLY by the Cal i forn ians. Laugh number one is our automobile anti-pollution devices required in Ont- ario ta meet California specifications. Now this i s a sure way ta get votes by r apping big business (car manufactur- ers), but who wvinds up paying $100 ex- tra for $50Oworth of anti-poll1ution junk ? Andwho pays out more money for gaso- line because their gas miteage has de- creased? Now I donIt pretend to be a profes- sionat graduate ecotogist (if that's what 1967 I3YC-K WILDCAT CONVERTIBLE Ful'toerimmaculate. Lic # 348I9A. 19 NTIAC LAURENTIAN 2 door, automatic. A-I.

And they worry about cars! But Cal ifornia did it, sa..d'a t nc iden tattly, if you wouldtlike to have a car*without anti-pollution eq- uipment, ail y ou have ta do is import it and ticense it in Quebec. Apparently Quebec hasn't got on the anti-potlution band-wagon yet. So if the Quebec Gov- ernmentkeepsrefusing ta join the Ont- aria-Catifornia ctan wve are going ta be facedwith a real problem: - How do we k eep Quebec's Poltluted air out of Ont- ario? 5-mIIe-per-hour bumpers Our next laugh is courtesy of aur newest innovation: 5 mph bumpers. Just th ink. .. i f y ou ar e t ucky enough ta be the proud owner of a 5 mph bumper, you can bump in to brick wall1s, or get into tots of accidents, and provided your speed h asn'1t exceeded 5 mit1es per hour, you "can d r ive home happy. But a word of c au t ion, ptease don't drive down the 40 1 at 5 mit1es pe r hour... somebody might hit you doing 70 mites per hour! As f or 1 ock ing steering wheels, t knaw that it is IMPOSSIBLE for ANY- TH ING ta go wrong wi th a car, but 1let 1s assume yautre in the process of dniving around acurve and your steering wheet tocking device mal functions and LOCKS ..goodbye Chartie! If 1l mbeginning ta sound pessimistic it's probably becauseî1am. I find it very di sheartening ta continue documenting governmental goodies or pot iticat foot- bal ts, or whatever yau want ta cai them. If Ithey' want ta pass constructive t e gi s1ation, why donIt they insist on mare important things tike disc brakes, r a diat1-pt1y tires, safer suspensions and mare pasitive steering mechanisms ? But they probably woutdn't get as many v ot es a s they wil11keepilg onWaving the magic EOLOGY banner... s01 g ues s the choi ce depends on whether yautre sitting in a car seat, or a part- iament seat.
