Ever Wonder About Who Invented What?

Presumably, all Canadians know that Graham Bell inven- ted the telephone, Banting and Best, insulin,

‘The same level of aware- ness would apply. to Armand Bombardier's snowmobile and Sir Sandford Fleming with Standard Time.

Here are some significant ones + that may have been over- looked:

_ At Last an Explanation

(An editorial in the Creston Valley Advance.)

At last the rest of Canada knows what sovereignty association means. Out of the Parti convention last weekend came a general agreement of what the term should mean,

However, from where we sit “sovereignty association is not much dif- ferent than federalism in iis present form. The Pequistes wish to retain one central bank for the two countries — we already have one central bank, one that has taken @ beating over the last few years because of the political instability of the Province of Quebec. They ask to retain the use of our

+, dollar, the same dollar they already use.

The Convention also asked for free trade — and free trade is a cornerstone of the British North America Act, the act the Pequistes chate so badly under. They also ask for free movement across the borders between the'two countries.

At the same time, the convention asks for a separate foreign policy, but one which would be in Tine with Canada’s policy. They ask for their own passports

+ and for their own armed forces. They also are willing to negotiate passage through the St. Lawrence Seaway and River,

But the party drew back from its original promise of a referendum on: the subject of succession. Now it ie asking only fora to Loter, the negotiations sieald, iS to a vote, or perhaps toa general election,

From way out west behind the Rockies, it appears that Quebec is merely. asking to regularize its present position. From the concessions it has won over the past 10 years to its present position is merely a stone's throw. But surely, the

poxernment of Canado will recognize this -

ct and endeavor to keep the countr together, not by ‘negotiation’ for whic! there can be no middle ground, but by sim- ply pointing out that Quebec cannot expect to have both the ‘penny and the bun.’

It must either remain joined with Canada or cut its ties altogether and set up its own completely independent country — something that will be exceedingly difficult in today’s political and economic climate.

What the Results Tell Us —

(From an editorial in the Grand Forks Gazette.)

Most people, the day before the federal election, felt that a minority gover- nment of either the Liberals or Conser-

vatives would be the result. They were cer-

tainly right.

Though the Liberals received a higher percentage of the popular vote, they ended up with fewer seats than the Conser- vatives. This tells us something, but what it is we do not know. Some people voted against the Liberals because Clark ond Broadbent spent most of the campaign

stating that the Liberals were a tired ald” ~

government. It hadn't done anything in the ~ 11 years it had been in power, it was responsible for inflation, it had brought Canada to bankruptcy,.and various other ills, none of it correct, but enough believed it to vote for the Conservatives or the NDP.

Most people this writer has talked to since the election, and this writer himself,

feel that they are disappointed by the loss .

of the Liberal government, but are quite

content to give the Conservatives a chance *

to do their thing, and that the change will do them good in revitalizing the Liberal porty during | its time as the Opposition.

They feel that there might be another elec- tion within 12 months or so.

The minority Conservative gover- nment will probebly be very cagey spout sucl as the selling. ot Petro-Canada to the American oil companies. They will also, probably, not go into as deep a deficit spending government as Clark has promised,

We hope that Trudecu will stay as leader of the Liberals in Oj as he

used in all coun- tries with heavy snowfall.

CB Helps To Reunite -

Two Sisters

A fluke CB message led to a tearful reunion for two sisters separated for 27 years:

Linda Burleigh, adopted as a child, had been told that her natural father and sister were dead. -

“Then one day my husband Roger, was listening to his CB ,and he heard a man talking "from Tennessee,” said Bur- leigh, of New Gloucester, ME.

“To my surprise he was ” right in Sardis, the town where T was born. I asked the man if he knew my father.

“Not only did he know him, he said he spoke to him often,

“We started writing each other and then I found out that my sister was living in New Orleans.”

The two/sisters were re- united in the New Orleans airport and couldn't lop em: bracing.

Some Were Not Sure — Of Home

There are a lot of confused people wandering through the Baltimore area, if results of an informal poll are any indication.

One of the questions in a 15-item test given’ voluntarily to persons attending the City Fair recently asked: Do you live in Baltimore City?

Of the 7,137 persons taking the test, 24 A per cent answered, “Not sure.”

Fifty-five per cent said they were Baltimore residents, while the remaining 21 per cent were sure they liyed elsewhere.

Landscaping for Everyone Part Lof3

By SANDRA FRASER

LANDSCAPE vb. tand- seaped — land-scap-ing: to improve the natural beauties of a tract of land by. gradin; clearing or decorative planting. The Merriam-Webster Diction- ary — 197

By this. definition, most of us. in the ‘Kootenays have already landscaped, or are planning to landscape, our property. Everything from far- ming to fruit trees, terracing to topiary (the act of trimming hedges into unusual shapes) fits easily into the, term ‘landscap- ing.’

What it means in dollars and individual cases will be the subject of. the next three articles.

Whether you are interest: ”

ed in a low maintenance plant- ing for a new home, or a renovation of existing proper- ty, your local landscaper and nursery can be of help to you. ‘Many peoplp assume that land- scaping is an expensive option not open to them.

It is well Lo know before you talk to a landscaper how much money you would like to spend each year. Many land-

Here are some hints: : Nurseries: Usually, it is enough to give a description of the area to be planted (eg. wet, dry, sunny, shady) and of the type of material you'd like to place there (eg. deciduous, evergreen, flowering, fruiting). If the material you'd like is nol advisable-for the site, ‘such -as willows near water lines or septic tanks, your nursery person will tell you, and sug- gest something suitable. * Nursery folk may also be able to suggest something interesting if you don't have “any ideas.
