More than at any time sitice the depression
years of the 1930's, high schoo! students retur-
ning to school today will be pondering their
future that will be theirs upon graduating.

The one million, one hundred thousand
Canadians currently drawing unemployment
“benefits” are expected to swell in number this

or 14 years, then, if a profession is to be the end
result, continues with another four to seven
years of university.

Now most professions are crowded, and many |

overcrowded. The expectation: of: acceptance
upon graduation by a professional student after
17 to 20 years continual study are at an all time
low - even worse than they, were during the Great
Depression, when university degrees were the

Despite the intellectual glut, there remain vast
areas where the best of brains are required.

We still have no acceptable “alternative

gasoline. '

Although we hear, now, that a vaccine has
been developed that will totally prevent tooth
decay - we have yet to see it in use in Canada.

Canada still has no Canadian automobile -
although Sweden and Australia - and Itally do.

Over one third of Canada ’- the Northwest
Territories contains less than 45,000 people,

But paid agents?
Political private eyes?
Yes, “moles,” as the
knows such agents, masquerading as politically

neutral taxpayers, but under cover serving the ir

Prime Minister’s office as, well, spies.

There is such an agent in every provincial §

capital -- and every regional core of the larger

provinces — who reads the newspapers, daily and §

weekly, monitors the open-line shows, and
listens and watches when the “commentators”
or “analysts” sound off. ~

From this mass of information, they try Ta
distilling the essence, determining the prevailing §

consensus on current issues, weighing the
balance of popular opinion, and summarizing it
all in tightly-written and presumably expertly-

That much is known for a hard fact.

What happens then, to these summaries from
the strategically located watching and listening
posts, only the Prime Minister's office knows.

But it would figure that

It would be only part of the overall political
picture as it develops from week to week.

Only a part, but perhaps one of the keys to the
changing electoral jigsaw.

But this it would do:

Give the election-planners and the vote-timers
at least an idea of the public political temper.

Show how they're feeling in Toronto and On-
tario’s Golden Horseshoe.

Confirm the deteriorating situation in British
Columbia.

Underline the seemingly hopeless -- even for
Trade Minister Jack Horner — prospects in
solidly Conservative Alberta.

Echo what they’re saying in Saskatchewan,
the direction of the prevailing political wind in

Winnipeg.
Suggest what could be done and where in the
uncertain and possibly shifting Maritimes.
About Quebec, as always, they don’t have to
wonder. They know. In the bag. For keeps.

Just think -- that letter you wrote to the editor.

last week may get your name into the Prime
Minister’s summary. Or that crack you made on
that open-line show. Or that man-in-the-street
quote of yours that got into the paper.
Intimidating? Maybe, maybe not.

But makes you wonder, what?

Dear Sir:

..A8 the only member of Council not mentioned
in Alderman Jolliffe's letter published in your
newspaper yesterday, and as acting Mayor at
this time, I feel it is appropriate that I respond
and endeavour to give one possible reason why
Alderman Jolliffe is no longer considered ac-
ceptable as a Council Committee chairman,

.I served on the Recreation Committee of
Council under the chairmanship of Alderman
Jolliffe for six months in 1977 with then Alder-
man Douglas Mumford, During that period the
Committee met eight times - once on a Tuesday
at 3:55 p.m., twice on a Wednesday at 9:33 p.m.
and 10:15 p.m., three times on a Thrusday at
12:30 p.m., 1:30p.m, and 3:10 p.m. and twice on
aFriday at 9:40 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Iconsistently requested Alderman Jolliffe to set
a fixed day and time for meetings but he insisted
that as chairman he had the power to cail
meetings whenever he felt like it with only t
wenty-four hours notice, and he was unwilling to
give up this petty power. I have never before had
my life dictated in such a way by another in-
dividual, even when serving in the army. Mr.
Mumford and myself both brought this ludicrous
situation to the attention of the Mayor and
Council on a number of occasions but the Mayor
at that time remained tolerant of Alderman
Jolliffe.

The twenty-four hours notice may be a minimum
legal requirement but it was impossible for Mr.
Mumford and myself to change business and
personal commitments continuously at the whim
of a committee chairman. The minimum legal
nunber of council meetings an Alderman is
required to attend is one every three months but
if all Aldermen only met that minimum we would
never have a quorum for a Council meeting!
,.Because of the above attempts by Alderman
Jolliffe to apparently dictate my personal and
working time schedule I requested Mayor Dave
Maroney not to appoint me to any committees
chaired by Alderman Jolliffe in 1978. As a result I

Much has been written about the Archbishop af
Canterbury, Donald Coggan, whose Office
decrees that he isin the spotlight continually and
his every public word not and commented

Anglican Communion? Who is she?

Jean Coggan was born Jean Strain, the
daughter of a man who was both a medical
doctor and an unbending member of the
Plymouth Brethren. And Jean Strain, like many
children who are raised in such strictly fun-
damentalist traditions, questioned the absolute

belief of her father and sought a less s ent

Unlike many young ladies of that time in our

remained on the Retreation Committee under
the Chairmanship of Alderman Talstra with
Alderman Soutar joining the Committee. This
Committee met twenty-one times in the first

seven months of this year and at the first

meeting the three committee members agreed
on a suitable meeting time convenient to all -
something Alderman Jolliffe consistently
refused to do in 1977 because it seems such a
sensible arrangement took away his petty power
as chairman to dictate meeting times. In 1978
over-half the Recreation Committee meetings
have been held as scheduled on Tuesday af-
ternoons and the remainder have been special
budget meetings or special meetings, with
maximum possible notice, to sult the con-
venience of groups or organizations such as The
Terrace Reds Hockey, Chamber of Commerce,
Regional District, School District, Library or
Festival Committees that wished to meet with
the Recreation Committee. This lias resulted in a
good working committee. ;
..1 have no doubt that members of the 1978
Planning Committee experienced similar
frustrations to those experienced by myseif and
Mr. Mumford on the 1977 Recreation Committee.
Since Alderman Jolliffe is asking publicly for
reasons I resent this attitude of his, which I
consider childish and petty, as one possible
reason which the Mayor - in kindness to Alder-
man Jolliffe - had declined to make public.
..While writing I would mention that I, like
Alderman Jolliffe, have reservations about
outside consultants planning our town but feel

that might be better than local politiclans who —

may be tempted to design the whole town around
one small Ski Shop because they are unwilling to
admit to zoning error in the past! Personally I
would like to see our town plan proceed much
more quickly and have much more input from
local residents.

Ra craduated as a social worker and spent many

hours of compassion working with slum dwellers
of Britains industrial cities.

She gradually was drawn to the freedom of
worship offered by the Church of England and
during her social work with young people of this
religious persuasion she met and fell in love with
the young English Church clergyman then
starting in his very first parish.

., Chas player, Jean
Coggan brought that same zest- into her
marriage and applied it to making comfortable,
welcoming homes in various rectories to which
her husband was moved in his successful rise in
the church.

One such move was to Canada when her
husband accepted the job of Professor of New
Testament at Wycliffe College in Toronto in
1937, ;

For seven years the Coggans resided as
Torontonians and during this time their two
daughters were born, Ann, in 1998 and Ruth in
1940, And when Donald returned home to take up
an appointment in Britain in 1944, Jean Coggan
like so many other wartime wives coped with the
two lively youngsters until she could follow her
husband home at war's end a year later.

reunited is a successful teacher in England and

Canada, has realized her mom's dream and is a .

The most difficult thing about being married to
a man on his way up any ladder of success is
being able to adapt and perhaps the biggest trial
for Jean Coggan, the homemaker, was be!
constantly uprooted. She no sooner unpack:
than she packed again and now this lady who
finds the greatest joy in sharing interests with
forgotten poor in lonely rooms is having to en-
tertain world wide dignitaries in near regal
Lambeth Palace the historic home of Ar-

‘chbishops of Canterbury.

But on the lighter side of her role Jean Coggan

sees the world. South America and India were on
her agenda prior to this visit to Terrace which
has been included in a commemoration trip in
which the Archbishop of Canterbury is helping to
celebrate the 400th anniversary of an Anglican
communion service at Frobisher Bay in 1578
with the Frobisher expedition..

The invitation to the Coggans to include T
in this Northern Canadian visit was extended by
a former pupil of the Archbishop who is now

Bishop of the Anglican Di
