Short Takes on a Wide Variefy of Subjects

Some people are equal with others—but
some people are more equal than others!

Federal Socred leader Real Caouette has
often described himself as a man of the people, a
fellow close to the grassroots who came up the
difficult way through individual initiative and
plain, ordinary hard work. There was no silver
spoon in his mouth when he was born,

However, to judge by one of Mr. Caouette's
more recent hes in the House of C
political theory is apparently one thing, while its
practical application is something else again.

He told the Commons he was tired of being
“fondled and caressed” by airport security
guards each time he boards an airplane, and he
asked the Minister of Transport to provide MP's
with special identity cards which would exempt
them from pre-flight searches.

Mr, Marchand, to his credit, said ‘no’ to this
plan to keep MP's separate from the rest of us
common folk. With their $6,000 tax-free
allowances, subsidized meals, free plane flights

and a unique pension plan that borders on theft -

from the public treasury, members of the House
of Commons are already, enough of a breed
apart.

It was Joseph Howe, the father of free
speech in Canada, who wrote the following: “A
wise nation preserves its records...gathers up
its. monuments...decorates the tombs of its
illustrious dead...repairs its great public
structures and fosters national pride and love of
country by perpetual references to the sacrifices
and glories of the past.”

Education Minister Eileen Dailly is taking
“under consideration” a suggestion that
honorariums of $1,500 a year be paid to each
member of a regional college's: governing
council, =.

While agreeing to consider the matter, Mrs.
Dailly pointed out that the school board trustees
serving on college councils (who make up about
half of the membership of each council) are
already paid indemnities by their school
districts.

It's about time this trend towards paying
people for public service activities came to an
abrupt halt, and this would appear to be a good
place for Mrs. Dailly to show the way. While
college council members should be reimbursed
for out-of-pocket expenses, there is no way the
position should become a paid one. If college
council members don’t like serving their fellow
citizens on a part-time basis—for nothing—then
let them resign and others can easily be found to
take their places.

If this trend towards paying people for
public. service continues at its present

accelerated rate, the next.thing you know. we'll:

have’ hospital trustees. wanting salaries.”

A news story reports that the average
American housewife would be worth about
$8,000 a year if paid for her work at home while
the British housewife would earn $10,000.

This doesn't mean that the British
homemaker is better than her American (or
Canadian) counterpart. What it does mean,

apparently, is that the modern conveniences

which the American housewife has at her

disposal means her productivity is higher. An

85-hour week is typical for British housewives

with children, while American mothers get by

with between 56 and 63 hours of work in the
ome,

If Canadian women decided they wanted to
be paid, perhaps they should opt for a straight
yearly salary instead of being paid by the hour.
Hopefully, Canadian and American technology is
continuing to make housework even easier, and
thus is reducing yet further the number of hours
a woman has to spend in the home,

MLAs in Victoria endorsed a proposal last
week that would set up a public information
bureau to provide citizens with direct access to
government information.

The NDP and Liberal representatives all
voted in favor of the resolution put forward by
NDPer Colin Gabelmann. If adopted by the
government, it would provide a central
information centre which residents throughout
the province could reach by toll-free telephone.

The Social Credit and Conservative MLAs
should reconsider their opposition to the idea
because it is dne with much merit. As
government becomes larger, and the bureau-
cracy and red tape increases, the ordinary
citizen needs all the help he can get in finding his
way through the government mazes.

Robert Bonner, when he was attorney-
general, proposed toll-free Zenith telephoning,
but he ran into opposition from his cabinet
colleagues and the idea was never implemented.

Kinnaird municipal clerk Allen Selbie, a
brave man, wonders if it is indeed a man’s world.
In a recent edition of the Castlegar Rotary
Club's club bulletin, he asks fellow Rotarians to
compare these frequently heard descriptions of
male and female:

If a woman is short, she's “petite.” Ifa man
is short, he's a “runt.”

Lacking bravery, a woman is “timid"—a
man is a “coward.”

A woman who is inept at earning a living is
“the domestic type.” But a man who is inept at
earning a living is a “ne'er-do-well.”

An unworldly girl is “innocent.” An
unworldly man “isn’t dry behind the ears.”

The woman with ajob in.a-masculine-field,’

:¢ such-as‘engineering, is-a:' ;‘ipioneer.™ ANmtale » é

“fashion. designer is a “sissy.”

A girl stays single because she “prefers a
career.” A man stays single because he is
“egotistical” and “selfish.”

«tA woman who jilts a man is merely
ing “a feminine p ive.” But a man
who jilts ¢ ‘a woman is “cruel” and “heartless.”

When a couple get married, a girl is “set for
life." The man is “hooked.”

No Action at this Time Against
Slocan Valley Free Scheol

Nelson School. Board will
not take action against parents
sending thelr children to an
alternate school in the Slocan
Valley but nor will the board
supply public funds for the
schoo),

Board chairman Mike Berg
said cn Wednesday of lat week
that alternative education is a
movement in the province by
some people who are of the
opinion t tat the public school
system is not meeting the
needs of today's children,

He pointed out that al-
though the board appreciates
the right of parents to decide on
the type of environ-

children to the school,
Later the board met with

the school's organizers and °

presented them with a working
paper proposal which could
bring the school under board
jurisdiction, The issue never
got to the negotiation stage,
Mr. Berg stressed Wednes-
day in releasing the board's
decision, that unless the board
finds the school is negligent in

instruction of the children, no ~

action will be taken, :

’ He said it is the board's
responsibility to see that every
child within the boundary of
School District: No. 7 has the

ment’ which would be best
suited to their children,’ the
board is not in a position to
make public funds available for
the support of private schools,

There are three private
schools in the district covered

“by the Nelson board; St,

Joseph's Catholic School, the
Slocan Valley school and a new
community school on the North
Shore,

However, controversy has
revolved around the Slocan
Valley schoo) since April when
the board preposed a motien to
prosecute parents sending their

btain an educa-
tion but not necessarily that

that child attend a public °

school,

“A child can be forced to sit
ina seat at-a public school, but
he won't learn anything if he

doesn't want to be there,” Mr. -

Berg said, “It is better for a
child to go to an alternate
school than to no schoo) at all,”
he said.

Since an increasing num-
ber of alternate schools are

emerging throughout the pro- °

vince, Mr. Berg said the board
had decided not to take action
at this time,

$100 Million Plan to Revamp
Colleges Announced by Minister

By Dan Mullen
Vancouver Province
Education Minister Eileen
Dailly announced on Wednes-
day of last week British
Columbia will spend about $100
million in the next five years to
replace some existing com-

munity college facilities and.

expand college service to all
regions,

She told the convention of
the Canadian Education Assoc-
iation, and a news conference
later, the money will go
towards building core facilities
and creating new delivery
systems, including educational
television.

Under legislation passed
last spring, the government.
now provides full capita costs
for construction of college
facilities deemed essential. Mrs.
Dailly said this definition will

include classrooms, laborator-
ies, shops, studies, libraries,

administrative'' ‘offices, food .

+ services and gymnasiums, but

there will be no unnecessary
duplication of existing com-
munity facilities,

She said new construction
will be aimed at moving college
