Filter ing was not comménsurate with the amount of children participating (that is, there were not teams to form a league). Financially, for baseball 1983 expendi tures (equipment, insurance, ete.) cost $2,040.67 while revenue was only $520 plus a $1,000 grant from RRC No. 8 made the deficit $520.67. If enough interest is shown, minor baseball will be offered again in 1985. Ree. No. 8's Boys and Girls Slo-Pitch program is novel because it involves all ages of elementary school children. The group breakdown is Kindergarten to Grade 2, Grade 3 and 4, and Grade 5 and 6. This is a successful program with 160 partici- pants. Last year 44 children participated in baseball. And what is the reason that 364 per cent more chil- dren are turning out for slo- pitch? The most apparent reason is that slo-pitch is non-threatening to novice players. There is no sliding, the ball alone, children who have. been afraid of the faster games of softball-end ball are turning out in droves to experience a slower, less demanding, less dangerous me. Children who have for various reasons steered away from competitive sports are finding excitement, (Hey, I caught a ball!) satisfaction (in * skill development) and com- radeship. They do enjoy being part of a team, where every player is deemed im- portant regardless of their skill level and this particular point is stressed.

And, true to Lovell form, he did it by himself. ada’s best cyclist until his spinal cord was crushed in an accident last August, Lovell managed to manipu late his wheelchair slowly through the front doors of the hospital despite limited use of his arms. “I guess I won't be getting any speeding tickets now,” he said jokingly. Declared a quadriplegic after the accident in which his bicycle collided with a truck, Lovell's biggest ac- complishment has been his recovery. His release from hospital was at least two months ahead of schedule. “Either I left with their hi approval or without i said. “I can't see how they had much choice because the front doors here aren't locked.” He'll be known as “the for- mer” in a number of things, including Olympic cyclist, Canada’s top male athlete of 1975, a 20-year veteran at the top of the Canadian cycling scene. HOME FOR GOOD Now he wants to “get back into the stream of things,” and his first plan after ar- riving home for good was to “drink some cappuccino and read the paper.” It’s unlikely he'll ever re- gain the use of his legs, but he may return to coach other cyclists. “I'm not ready to think that hard yet. I just want to go home and be silly again, be normal again.” Some of the $160,000 rais- ed by the Joceyin Lovell trust fund will be channelled into hiring a part-time nurse to help care for him while his wife returns to the family business of selling specialized sports clothing. “The sad reality is if Joc- elyn did not have me or someone else, he would just go into a hospital for the rest of his life,” she said. “He can choke on drinking water or fall over with no one to catch him. He can’t dial a phone in case of an emer- gency. I can only go where he can go.

So the seven leadership hopefuls are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea in their search for economic solutions. They all agree the deficit should be reduced but some feel the problem is more urgent than do others. John Turner, a former finance minister who spent the last eight years as a Bay Street lawyer, says he can cut $15 billion from the total within seven years. ‘This may involve increased taxes, reduced government spending — or both. But the peg he is hanging his plan on is s revived economy in which business will prosper, flooding government coffers with income tax dollars. Turner's plan has been greeted with some skepticism by economists, who give him high marks for wanting to bring government spending into line but question whether he can chop $165 billion in seven years. ‘Turner refuses to provide specifics, saying he has to look at the country’s books before he can get down to details. His chief rival in the leadership campaign, Energy Minister Jean Chretien, does not comment on promises made by other candidates. his only observation on Turner's plan was that Ronald Reagan won the United States presidency by promising to bring down that country's deficit, a promise that remains unfulfilled. Chretien’s solution is to spur economic gtowth by reaching a new partnership among business, labor and government. With co-operation from all three groups, Canada would become more competitive, the economy would flourish and the increaséd revenues would help reduce the deficit. The energy minister is adamant that the problem should not be addressed by cutting social programs. Turner says he doesn’t plan to cut social programs, but won't say what he will cut. In announcing his candidacy last March, Chretien labelled unemployment his No. 1 priority and said that balancing the books for the sake of balancing them would d dreds of ds of young people to the misery of unemployment. Justice Minister Mare MacGuigan, another leadership candidate, took Turner to task at the Liberal policy session in Halifax last weekend. “This week one of us spoke of cutting $15 billion from the federal budget,” he said, without identifying Turner by ¥ name. “It can't be cut without causing great suffering in this country.” MacGuigan said the idea was “bad economics and bad politics” and that the government should not spend the next five years in the “wholly negative act of slashing government spending to cut the deficit.” Instead, the government shoud do “something positive for Canada, something Liberal — creating full employment.” ic D SCHOOL PRODUCTION . . .

Rising in the Mouse of Commons recently, Kristian- sen told the government that by a simple amendment it could allow conscientious ob- jectors to divert to the institute that portion of their taxes usually put toward military spending; in the range of 10 per cent. “This,” Kristiansen said in Parliament, “would allow conscientious objectors to feel that they were acting lawfully as regards the pay- ment of their taxes while acting in line with their ie Further, this At that same meeting, Minister Don Johnston took a crack at Turner and other candidates whose economic statements have been long on promises but short on detail. Johnston is against raising taxes and wants to cut pending by selling y-losing Crown corporations and eliminating duplication of services. He says increased economic activity is the key to reducing the deficit, which he said can be done but not overnight. Employment Minister John Roberts says he follows the government line that the deficit should be gradually reduced over three years. Its size is not preventing those in the private sector from obtaining investment capital, he says. However, some economists say large government deficits use up most of the available investment capital in the market, making it difficult for private businesses to obtain money at rates they can afford. When demand for money exceeds supply, interest rates are forced up. But Roberts says there is excess capacity in the Canadian economy, industry is not operating at 100 per cent and so deman for capital is low. “If the y went g and everybody wanted money, then we'd have to adopt a crash program to'reduce the deficit. At the moment, there is no need for a disruptive, crash action to reduce the deficit by drastic measures.” UPTO... 12 Ye Per Annum would not set a precedent that might create difficulties in other areas of revenue collection and expenditure.” The government announ- ced early this year that it will create the institute with a starting budget of $1.5 mil- lion annually to, “. . . encour- age public discussions on international peace and sec- urity issues.” Known as bill C-32, the proposal is being debated in Ottawa. Kristiansen suggested that citizens who want a way to avoid paying taxes toward military spending write the Prime Minister asking that bill C-82 be amended to allow donations to the peace and security institute to qualify for a tax credit. “With a stroke of a pen the government could allow a tax credit to the percentage of individuals’ tax normally allo- cated to Canadian military spending,” Kristiansen said. “It isn't everything that peace tax activists want, but it would be a start; an acknowledgement that some people justifiably want to show they won't contribute to military spending if it can be avoided. “My suggestion allows the government a relatively easy and realistic way to satisfy the main demands of peace tax proponents without set- objectors, who are so for religious or other serious personal reasons, may be excluded from military ser- vice.” In the past four years some people across the country have begun paying a portion of their income taxes into trust with the Peace Tax Fund organized by a group in Victoria. The tax department pursues full payment of taxes, ignoring contributions to the fund. The final goal of peace-tax activists is recognition of such contributions as legit- imate tax pay , and use ting awkward pi for other areas of taxation. Kristiansen made refer- ence in Parliament to, “... . the tradition in Canada of accepting that conscientious of the fund solely for social development purposes, while contributors’ remaining taxes are restricted to non- military uses. vi ce Wellesley.
