ED VAN DER LEELIE MANAGING EDITOR t Daily Newspaper MARY OLSEN. ADVERTISING STREET TERRACE. B.C. Chat out of the old bag Isn’t Canada crowding its luck to. bring such as the distinguished visitor, Premier: Kosygin, to Canada for so long a stay and with such a weak excuse to expose these ethnic groups who are taken into Canada, especially the Hungarians. We réceived them with open arms, gave them a big welcome, also a big invitation to dissolve and become absorbed in warm affection and given our best treatment with the opening of our University doors. War scars are forgotten by this pampered citizenry who forget to remember that other nations of other countries had so such soft background as Canadians had. Britain too that benevolent empire who always got a big lift to help winning wars from its commonwealth -- even they expect these colonists to forget war crimes. Little wonder there are snubbings and unmannerly acts tempting new Cana- dians while other countries protest the Rising Sun Empire, eh? The Toronto Telegram is soon going to chuck it up and quit! Old Jack Robinson will take another flip in his coffin. In 1912 the Teelegram was the most powerful newspaper in Canada. Of course there was the Montreal Gazette but Montreal was almost, a: foreign ‘country in’ those days and” Henry Bourassa’ was-‘a’ rebel. The” * }itamin foods. Soaked and codked wit a hunk of sowbelly, that was the kind of — Brodon Government had just been elected and the reins of government changed hands, From the affable out- going Laurier, Robert Borden, a sedate maritime, grabbed the gubernatorial ribbons with a dour hold, and time ran too fast for all the reforms the Conservatives had up their sieeve to change the face of Canada. The once powerful Toronto Globe took a back seat and the Tely took to the headlines. It was in 1912 a great lift came to Black Jack who was an old man then but still had a flare for picking his staff, and cracking the whip where it hurt the mast, In 1968 when we attended the Liberal Leader Convention, it was a shock we tell you to see the Tely with eight-column banners supporting Liberal Trudeau for the leadership. Few Canadians can understand the persistent rebellion for a better deal for all in Ulster but one thing we can be tolerant for the Irish, even in their hate-ridden plight -- for some of them still can keep their sense of humour. Who didn’t get a kick out of the Irish sympathizers who put back the roads the soldiers blew up stopping the IRA supply lines. In the midst of all this uproar and fury, didn’t they have a full size plus ceremony with ribbon cutting and all, opening the renewed portions -- just like countries at peace. Of course - it didn’t last long. The band music had hardly died away when soldiers blew it up all over again. None can understand the pathetic civil war in Belfast without referring to lost history and old sores that are not forgatten, But anyway Thank God for a sense ofhumour... | Things, good and bad, happen so furiously in this affluent day that sanity of purpose seems a long way off, but isn't it good to read about them Mennonites in Linnwood, Ont., holding the line. Still making ‘Apple Schnitzing’ day for drying apples. Indeed with all the hifalutin new gadgets the customers seek, a good long string of dried apples is.still the most sensible method of assuring winter fruit. Forty years ago before the Indians got soft, most every Lillooet family that was worthy of the name, dried not only fish but peaches, pears, black caps, cherries and apricots too. Pot lickin good .was. also corn, beans ‘ succotash - the last-oné of. the: finest- diet that seperated the men from the boys and brought plenty of stamina for porgress. you can betcha. What would we have done in Windy Ridge for romance if we didn’t attend the apple- stringin---that affair separated the women from the girls, eh? Round slices of tart dried fruit strung on a thread, looped over the rafters was the | prettiest decoration in Kansas. The unions of organized labour are sure as hell making it easy for the sys- tem to pull off the dictatorship: which is competition in the government employees, CUPE, 156,000 of them and growing at a rate of 1000 a month. Making big fellows of themselves telling the CLC, that powerful parent body, that CUPE won't stand in the way of oher groups who want to join the CLC--and dangerous fodder we'd say for something that will substitute for a dictatorship or else! CUPE might spend a few minutes in silent med- itation and pray for a benevolent one, at least. uate Ste pe ee ee EQUAL TO EUROPEAN. WINE British '. Columbia's _.

An ombudsman is an independent public official who provies the ordinary citizen with a means to communicate a complaint or grievance ‘about the way he has been treated by the government. The need for an ombudsman is‘ directly related to the increase in scope and, complexity of government. As government grows bigger and more encompassing, there is more room for error and maladministration - and B.C. is - no exception. A Carleton University student last year surveyed MPs ‘and found each received an average of 15 complaints a month from sit... a fax aystem thet ne one, not even you, can_understand and there-. these figures would mean that a total of 4,000 complaints a month are made at the federal. level - nearly 50,000 complaints a year. It is easy to see that the same situation must exist at the provincial level. The most important thing about an ombudsman is that he be independent of any political pressures and that he have access to any governmental file to investigate a case. In most places, the ombudsman is appointed by the legislature for aterm of five years. An annual - report of his activities is made to the legislature and. the office - tends to grow as the government does, and as more pople become aware of this avenue of appeal. you can ‘cope governmental red tape without such an office?. What kinds of abuses of governmeéntal authority are mpst‘common in fhis province - expropriation grievences, welfare complaints, minority stockholders’ rights? Teil us what you think about the need for a provincial ombudsman.
