However, with the recent history of Social Creditors, 1 find it difficult to adhere to Christian precepts insofar as the following account is concerned. ‘But, {il try. : A couple of weeks ago | participated in the opening of the Hudson Bay Mountain chair :. {itt along with Mayor Shortreid, Billi = MacAloney, Industry Minister Don Phillips and others.

That picture could have been the only one In the roll that turned out, It could have been the last exposure on a roll of film that had other non-ski hill related shots on it. It covid have been simply an error on the part of the person who took that picture. It could have been any of these things but | really have to stretch my Imagination to believe anything other than that It was consclously and deliberately done. . | have delayed writing this. account hoping that the person who took the picture would have provided the Interior News with a letter-to-the-edltor giving an explanation. Sofar | have not seen any such explanation. I've been Involved In politics enough not to get upset If my picture doesn’t get into the papers.: That is not the point at issue. The point Is one of principle; one of integrity; one of Christian generosity and ‘respect. TTT PRT EET ITEP LRT CUT . re MT See Tie See Reet TT SETS hie Tere) areas yy a al Fa . QNICHTSINA | LUXURY ROTEL. PRE! A.

Switzerland for dinner at the world's best restaurant. West Germany for achat with Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. Italy to find out . what Neapolitans mean when they say ‘‘ar- rangiarsi.”’ All in the course of several months’ work for Harry Reasoner, who had been just about everything there was to be in broadcast journalism ‘ ~- reporter, anchorman, commentator, essayist — when he rejoined CBS’ 60 Minutes just over two years ago. “And I've just finished a piece on the Philip- pines,” says Reasoner, who now can add, with some legitimacy, foreign correspondent to that resume. Reasoner co-anchored the premiere edition of 60 Minutes in 1968, left the show for an anchorman’s job at ABC, and returned to CBS in the summer of 1978. “Mike Wallace and | started the show in '63,” Reasoner recalls, ‘and we were on every other week. Now, it’s an article of faith every Sunday night, No matter how long the football games go, | we're on in full. a, “T was a little surprised, coming back after 7! years away, that nothing else really had changed.” and, says Reasoner, he's happy he returned. “Obviously, there are time when I’d rather bein their working on the big breaking story, like the " geturn of the hostages. But on balance, I'd rather do what I'm doing now. Morley Safer replaced Reasoner in 1970, and Dan Rather joined the program in '75. “When I came back,” Reasoner says, “I was the fourth corre- spondent, which didn’t mean each of us did that much less work. You just spend 25 per cent more time on every piece.” Nothing has changed He moved over to radio slation WCCO in Min- neapoljs in 1960 as a newswriter, spent three years with the U.S. Information Agency in- Manila, then returned to Minneapolis as news director at KEYD- * Reasoner joined CBS News in 1956, and spent the next 14 years handling a variety of assignments before jumping io ABC News in 1970 as Evening - News anchorman. Reasoner's tenure at ABC began to run out early in 1976 when the network hired Barbara Walters away from NBC's Today for a reported $1 million a year over five years, Reasonwer clearly was not happy with the arrangement — Walters was brought in to co-anchor the Evening News — and her salary proved a partiuularly sore point. Reasomer doesn’t spend all of his time overseas for 60 Minutes. He's at work onw, for instance, on a story on condominium conversions in the U.S. Don Hewitt, the series’ executive producer, looks for a mix: of subjects and treatments for each program, Reasoner says. . ’ ‘Thus, on a recent Sunday night, Mike Wallace, talked with victims of Huntington's, Chored. a particularly devastating hereditary disease; Dan Rather spoke with former CIA director Stansfield Tumer, and Reasoner visited Naples, te report on . the Italian city’s overwhelming social problems.

OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — Seven students are dressing up as Snow White's dwarfs for a small ’ campaign for student rights at Miami University. “The rights of studenis have become so smail here that they're dwarfed,” said Dan Adamson, a candidate for president of the Associated Shudent Government. “We're being treated like children.” He's adopted the name Grumfy from the character in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He and six other students majoring in in- terdisciplinary studies are wearing hiking boots, knickers and stocking caps. And they're marching dally on campus, singing “Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to * work we go,’ the dwarfs’ theme gong. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Artist Guy Baktwin wanted a nice, docile cow — the kind that winks and beams from dairy product labela — as a model for his University of Minnesota art students. But the model he got didn’t understand the meaning of ‘still life.” ; The cow broke free of its tether Monday and charged through the building, destroying sculptures “it’s ODD, isn’t it? and leaving a trail of fertilizer and frightened people. ; - fo - “She seemed nervous during the session and kept getting her hoofs tangled in the rope, unti) she just sort of yanked loose,” said Baldwin, an associale professor of studio arts. “She jumped over a four-foot table and ran _ ‘through another art class. Everyone just screamed, . ‘Then the cow berrelied through a welding studio ‘and into Baldwin's office. . - “We tried coaxing her out, but even if she had co- operated, I don't know what I would have done with ~ ber, so we just locked herin,” he sald. . “T heard her crashing around in there, pawing amd snorting and leaving cow manure all over.” _ Seven of 10 sculptures Baldwin was preparing for an exhibition were damaged or ruined in the 45 © minutes it took to calm the cow down and move it to - a waiting trailer for a trip back io the pniversity's beef cattle barn in St. Paul. y Despite the chaos and the $5,000 in damage, Baldwin plans to we another cow as a model for the. reat of the week. 5 Gomer : SEAN, IT MUST TAKE A LOTOF) / GOMER, THE PEOPLE IN A\ GUTS TO BE A LIBERAL IN THE MY PARTY HAVE WHAT : WEST THESE: BAYS?

Sir John A. Macdonald didn’t bother with the niceties of a national referendum. | (Which, almost certainly, would have been defeated In Quebec.) He did hammer out an agreement with the leaders of then in-° - dependent colonies, but Its terms were so unsatisfactory that one colony, P.-E. 1... refused to join, and another, Nova Scolia, ~ promptly elected a separatist provincial - government. . . too “Applied in- 1965, Epp’s' formula -*: vid E cungya’given’vs today sf nattonat flag-em blazoned with a codfish, several moose; wheat sheaf, an oll drum, and presumably a | patato.

New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent sald it best. We had arrived, he sald, ‘at a - poignant moment in our history”. It would be nice to assume "we can have significant: historical change” by all sliting down. together, without rancor or bitterness. “But history [ust isn't like that.” ~... _- “The divisiveness argument,” sald Broadbent, "is. to a degree a bogus argument.” _ In the short run, the divisiveness Is real:: The provincial premiers are divided; the public is divided. But in the long run, argued Broadbent, the constitutional package ‘will stand up well’. ~ it was “substantially solid and correct,"; the Charter of Rights was “probably the best — Charter of Rights In the World”. oo Here, Broadbent exaggerated, as he has to do to justify his support of Trudeau's | constitutlonal changes: Al! Charters of Rights, Inctuding Soviet Russia’s, are In-: spirational documents. But in two respects, the Charter of Rights is ahead of its time. It recognizes, as does no other such document, - the eights of the physically and mentally handicapped. And it recognizes, after what . Broadbent called “centuries of injustice’. ‘the particular rights of our native peoples: The polgnant moment In our history: to which Broadbent referred didn't happen so much this week at the start of the last phase of debate on the constitutional package, but: a month earlier when Justice Minister Jean Chretien came before the Senate-Commots Committee on the constitution to declare that he was ready to incorporate aboriginal tights In the Charter. That day, Chretien recalled In his speech this week, “there. were tears in the eyes of some MPs”... Rae ae eel dieter eek eaal saa
