And all this frenzy does menace home and family: many parents find it difficult to take sufficient time for sustaining good relations with their children. Some parents today seem to be more the proprietors of their children than parents. It is not really a home if there is not much time for easy and spontaneous relations, if there are not expressions of real interest in the concerns and roblems and idiosyncrasies.of all, if there are winter about the zy . By GARRY FAIRBAIRN WASHINGTON CP - A North Dakota water-diversion project that threatens to pollute Manitoba waters continues to have an uncertain future despite President Carter’s action earlier this week approving full funding for the project. April, Carter tried and failed to rsuade Congress to sharply reduce the | arrison diversion project by. cutting parts that would affect Canada. He reluctantly signed an appropriations bill Monday that includes 1977-78 financing for the $61 million project, on which more than $150 million already has been“spent. But virtually all U.S. groups involved in the tough political and legal struggie over Garrison agree that even the presidential . signature will have no practical effect on parts of the Project affecting Canada. Canadian officials, who made an unusually-strong formal protest last arrison plan, now say they have no immediate concern. ; Ineffect, Manitoba rivers and lakes will be safe for another year because of-a stalemate resulting from a complex threeway fight amgng the executive, judicial and legislative branches of U.S. government. © - And in the meantime, Carter and other ponents of the project are preparing for © | a ck eit, when ‘they hope- arenewed atta their. efforts to kill or cripple the project: will be reinforced by: new studies. =. Two key factors currentl ‘halting most work on the project involve a fe deral court order and a U.S. diplomatic note given to Canada. The federal court order, issued in response to a suit filed environmentalists, decrees that there be no more construction until the interior department files a new environmental impact statement about next Jan. 1. The 01 ; y exception to the construction halt is --- _ that work may continue on ‘the 74-mile McClusky canal, which is designed to divert Missouri River water. into the: Lonetree reservoir. - Earth “plugs,” however, must be in lace to prevent Missouri water - omcontinuing into water systems that - flow into Canada. - In the diplomatic note, the United States formally promised not to proceed with work affecting Canadian waters until after the two countries have studied a coming International Joint Commission IJC report on the project and completed on th ort . negotiations bas The LJC report is expected. to be made public in September but negotiations: probably will continue well into 1978. Both the IJ@ report- and the new interior _ department study are considered certain to reinforce White House criticism of the project. : . t ~ . - -A group. of IJC experts have said at. - ifications would‘be | least $49 million in m needed’to protect Manitoba waters if the ~- Garrisori project goes ahead as originally ‘planned. . ‘ / Garrison dam project alarms And the interior department has been > directed as part of its study to prepare an analysis of the greatly-reduced project recommended by Carter. ‘Carter proposed in April that only. $134 million more. be -s compared with the $436 million needed to fulfil original plans. - A White House study asserted that the project would irrigate 250,000 acres at a cost of $1,992 an acre while removing another 220,000 productive acres from production. . oo “Carter's proposed cut would eliminate t nt on the project, © . the battle to ‘the Souris Loop, a part of the project that — would have the greatest impact on Manitoba. ' Under the full | plan. parasite- infested and polluted Missouri River waters’ would be carried along the ‘McClusky cannal to Lonetree reservoir and then along the Velva canal into the Souris River, which flows north to Manitoba. : Another Missouri-Manitoba link would . be from Lonetree reservoir to the ~ Sheyenne River to the Red River, but the Us. ledge to Canada has put that threat. - into . oo, A third danger is that Missouri waters — will flow from ~Lonetree to the New ~ Rockford canal and eventually to the Red. River. But even if Lonetree reservoir is built the Missouri waters would be greatly - diluted by this lengthy route. - Despite the forces gearing up against Garrison, their success is not guaranteed. North Dakota representatives in Congress aré leading a campaign to see that the full project is.continued and the North Dakota state government has filed a lawsuit to overturn the federal court oat ters in Congress wo arrison suppor 38 won a kee full financing in the appropriations bill, but they have been unable to succeed in getting. Congress to over-ride the court ruling. Cote, : And the North Dakota attorney-general has indicated he may well withdraw the state’s challenge to the court order on grounds that the challenge is unlikely to succeed.. If the suit proceeds, the hearings will start in September in Washington. mo Carter, meanwhile, remains determined to stop what he considers costly and unnecessary water projects, He already has projects on his Final “hit list” and an aide said the president may try again soon to abolish the remaining 14. The 10 projects Carter wants to halt completely - like Garrison - bave been allocated funds under his signature. But he might use the device of deferral, specifically signling out those projects and denying funds -to them unlesg Congress again votes in their favor... ~ ' Tf he tries the deferral route’ and succeeds in it, he will have another werful weapon to use next year when, e Garrison contest opens again.

No occasional and slickly synthesized togetherness, even when helped by modern conveniences aand ornamented by the latest gimmicks, can compensate for the personal qualities which make a home really a home.

Time after time they've delivered the levers of party power to a president without parliamentary experience and he’s invariably left them losers. Some Conservative presidents not only - have been uncaring but positively contemptuous of the party's elected representatives, brushing them off as know-nothing politicians. These political amateurs never managed to get themselves elected to the House of Commons and seemed to make it © a point of pride not only to ignore but scorn the advice and wishes of those ' professionals who did know enough about winning votes to add the initials MP after their names. _. Such a president, it has been shown, if he really puts his mind to it, can wreck the party years beyong his power-mad term. . But comes up now, after more than 20 losing years, a chance for a working, . practising politician, a parliamentarian, to not just go for the presidency but to win If. . - He's Robert Carman Coates, initially a protege, illustrious Conservative class of 1957, of former Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. Naturally he has Dlef’s blessing and backing. Claude Wagner's, too. Mest of the Conservative caucus, also. And while, as leader, he can’t come right out and say it, Joe Clark is wishing him well, . Coates has won through eight successive elections and has 20 years ir the interior of British Columbia and they'd be’ eternally grateful to him if he can do it. Cooper was appointed six . months aggo by economic development Minister Don Phillips to try and sort out a problem of too many tons of wood chips from the sawmilling industry and pulp producers who said they didn't want them... 22 :.Mostof his time has-been spent trying to put together a fledgling company made of Interior lumbermen who want to export their surplus chips. mpounding the problem is getting B.C.’s lumber and pulp producers to co-operate to capture the export: ‘contracts and relieve the surplus. x orests Minister Tom Waterland says he is opposed to a marketing board as a solution but it hasn't been ruled out. He is still hopeful lumbermen will resolve the. dispute * themselves. ‘In the meantime, Fibreco industrial alliance, released a congressional study that found serious shortages of U.F. military equipment stored in Surope for use by U.S.-based units that would be flown there in -wartime. | And there have been periodic expressions . of alarm’ at estimates that Warsaw .Pact.. forces outnumber NATO forces 2 to 1 in tactical air power and almost § to 1 in armor. -When- Congress | returns ‘from ‘its “August recess, members can be expected to start digging: again into the - NATO situation and. the White House's strategic analysis. ; At the least, Carter will have new problems trying to a property of Weyerhaeuser nada Ltd. through its Tcoma, Wash.-based parent company.
