“THIS. WEEK

The. Issue

By RAY ARGYLE

Next week's general elee-
tlon in Saskatchewan is of
national - importance © be-
aa cause of the

effect it will

have on goy-

throughout

which still prefers to use

- the old CCF label in Sas-

katchewan, believes it has

made a success of medi-

care and that it will com-

fortably win re-election in
the April 22 voting.

As every other provincial
government has been re-
turned to power in the past
18 months, Premier Wood-
row Lloyd is banking that
the country’s general pros-
perity will prove a big as-
sist to his regime, too.

In a brief swing I made.
through Saskatchewan at
the start of the’ campaign,
“I saw litile sign of the bit-
terness that enveloped the
Rbr'e when the CCF-
DP government launched
Ma medicare program in the
msammer of 1!

The medical profession
remains divided. But even
such an astute politician as
former Federal Agriculture -

Alvin Hamilton
Presicts re-election of the
yd government.

The CCF-NDP will bene-
fit from a split opposition,
with Liberals running a
alate of 59 candidates ind
the Conservatives almost
as many. There is no Lib-

“and stop referring to this alley as a Te ‘BRODY. place!”!

The fight is between the
CCF-NDP © and Liberals.
The government had $4 sup-
Porters in the old 55-seat
Jegislature facing a line-up
of 21 Liberals. The legis-
jature has been expanded to
59 seats with new seats in
Regina. and : Saskatoon. .

If Saskatchewan - voters
return the government to a:
sixth term in office — and *
the odds seem to favor this
— there is no doubt that
Saskatchewan’s lead in
medicare will he followed
by other provinces,

Such a result also would
hasten the arrival of a'na-
tional medicare program
operated from Ottawa in co-
operation with the prov-
inces. This has been the
story of government-spon-
sored hospital insurance —
also pioneered by. Sas-
katchewan.

THE CHILDREN'S CORNER

Love That Sunday

| By BILL SMILEY uh

Last Sunday was one ‘of
those days, Filthy outside,
With mud and rain: and

and crabby,

I mooched
around the.
house gloom:
ily, wishing
the golf

course Was .

dry, or the
Bill Smalley trout season
open. Then I started think-
ing “about what Sunday
really meant, was ashamed
of: myself, and cheered up
considerably.

As some wit remarked: to
our ancestors, it was the
Holy Sabbath; to our great-
grandfathers, The Lord's
Day;.'to our fathers, Sun-
fay, We ‘call it The Week

The Sabbath is net ot
Christian

originally a Jewish holy
day, on the last day of the
week. Like most of the laws
of the ancient Hebrews, ob-
servance .of the Sabbath
was a combination of. reli-
gion and. common sense.
Man neede a day of rest in

Ufe sentence he is serving.

However, there’s’ a vast
difference between the Sab-
bath of the ancient Hebrew
and the Sunday of modern
man,

x ok ok

The former lived a. pas-
toral life. When the Sabbath
came along, all he had to
do was le around and count
his sheep..He didn’t have to
rol, groaning, out of bed
after a late Saturday night,
scramble around trying to
get his family off to church,

» wash the car or catch fish

or play golf, drive 80 miles
to visit some relatives. of
his wife, and tear home to
watch the hockey game,

If it were-not for Sunday,
the Saturday night bath

would become obsolete, If

it were not star qunday,
many go:
through i lite without iinige
their shoes, Jf it- were not
for Sunday, inany women
would never get a new hat.

Sunday is a great ‘com-
fort to those intent on get-
ting to heaven, They don
sober garb and plous mien
on Sunday morning. On
Monday, they ‘go back to
the normal pastimes of try-
ing to scramble to political,
social: and financial emi-
nence over the ‘crushed and
bleeding bodics and souls of
their fellow Christians,
secure in the knowledge
that if there fs a rush for
seats on the judgment day,
they will have some pull
with the management.

Sunday means church,
Church, too, is a good thing.
First of all, it provides on
ployment for ministers, an
employment, or. lack of ie
is’ pretty important these
Gays. ‘Secondly, it provides

‘‘gomeone telling them, to

‘After church, what?

. There's nothing particularly

Christian about gorging

oneself with food and sitting

in 2 stupor looking at tele-
ion,

What about a nice Chris-
tian game ‘of golf, with no
swearing when one silces?
What about a little walk in
the woods, worshipping the
wonderful ‘world of ‘nature
that was created for one?
And if one happened to look
down and see a fishing rod
in one’s hand, one shouldn't
worry too much about it.

Remember the o!d adage:

_ Evangelists may fave and.
shout, x

* But only God can maka a
trout.

DEAR DORIS ~' When |
was 15 I made a terrible
mistake, ‘I had’ an affair
with a boy for almost a
year. After he left me there
was nothing left for me, or
so 1 thought. I am now 18
years old. 1 haven't let
another boy touch me since
then until last night.

Two months _ before
Christmas 1 met a wonder-
ful man.’ Last night while
we were baby-sitting we lost
our heads. I felt like a
tramp afterwards. He as-
dured me that he loved me
and if anything happened
that we would get married,

Now I have the feeling,
- that he was only going with
me for one thing. Today he
promised :me he wouldn't
touch me again if I went
back with him, until we
were married. I want him
back but I'm afraid it will
happen again, and he will
leave me afterwards like
" the other one did.
