Canada starts in grave danger of joining what the late American his­torian Barbara Tuchman has called the March of Folly--a path that has led many nations to ruin or decline. According to Tuchman, nations march towards folly when they adopt policies contrary to their self- interest. A better alternative is available,but they are unwilling to consider it. Early in mankind's long march of folly, the Trojans hauled the wooden horse inside their walls, despite being warned it was a Greek trick. More recently, Winston Churchill was widely ridiculed for insisting that democracy was under threat. Now Canada seems to be embark king on its own march of folly. Too many Canadians are indifferent to a possible breakup of the country; too few have really begun to dis­cuss the issues. Marches of folly are made pos­sible by the existence of danger­ous delusions. It is the delusion that a national breakup would be relatively smooth and involve only minimal costs that risks sending Canada down this road of folly. A recent poll reported that 51 percent of Canadians surveyed out­side Quebec believe that if Quebec separates, the economy of what re­mains of Canada will be unchanged- or even stronger. Who are these people? How much time have they spent thinking about what would really happen? That separateion would be rela­tively easy and without cost is not just a dangerous delusion: it is a real-world impossibility. The costs would be huge and long las­ting, and paid by everyone in Canada--in Quebec, and in every other province and territory. No one would escape lightly. It requires no constitutional j O'-'- • v. o ~ . expertise to see that many assump­tions are being made that are simp­listic nonsense. Some people assume, for example, the continuation of a common currency, a common inter­national trade and a stabilizing fiscal structure. This is not a credible scenario, even in a spirit of harmony and selflessness—and history warns us that emotion can­not be kept out of the picture. Political separation would see ■ the emergence of two weaker re­gional currencies, provoking a host of economic problems. The Canadian dollar would be undermined by a greatly weakened economy, and nei­ther the Canadian nor the Quebec currency would be the reliable and internationally respected medium of exchange we now enjoy. Canada and Quebec would have less ability to finance growth, development, jobs, environmental initiatives and social needs. Separation also means losinb the power of the federal government to help smooth out economic cycles by transferring funds from strong provinces to those that are rela­tively weak. Without the combined strength of the country as a whole, the economically weak provinces would suffer a dramatic decline in government services and an increase in taxes. Ironically, the nations of Europe are drawing closer at this time. They have buried the deep wounds of a millennium of conflict, and are yelding sovereignity to create the world's biggest common market. The European's know what we have for­gotten: In unity there is strength. In this 125th anniversary year of Confederation, we should be celebra­ting our achievements. A 1992 report of the United Nations Development Program, rating countries on aj broad scale in terms of economic prosperity, longevity, living stan­dards, equality of the sexes, racial equality, distribution of income, and human freedom, ranked Canada first in the world in terms of quality of life. Observers abroad can only shake their heads and ask, Don't CAnadians :*ni 5*"•? v.hat thev. arc * - Corvt '/fieyt /L'sst of' ^eparaTjot/ Qjmi/ Uheels of 2Vd u.stnj m flilo ! realize what they are risking? Well, here's one Canadian, a son of Saskatchewan, who cares passion­ately about keeping Canada together from British Columbia to Newfound- land. Let's not join this March of Folly! Condensed from a speech by ALLAN R. TAYLOR ALLAN R- TAYLOR is chairman and chief executive officer, Royal Bank of Canada. His speech was made to the bank's annual meeting of share­holders on January 23, 1992. uW's Jour S'9 o Work has started on the new seed­cleaning plant located just north of the village. Also, construction is in progress on the new vinage fire hall. It is across the street to the south of the Community Hall. Along with these two projects and 2 road construction crews there are about 15 or more trailers parked in town. Anne Rolphe: Brides and pregnant women are often radiantly beautiful, and happiness - not cosmetics - is the cause. A woman whose smile is open and whose expres­sion is glad has a kind of beauty no: matter what she wears. When someone else dresses and paints' us, if sur­gery alters or erases the lines of endurance and experience, we are dim­inished, not made more beautiful but reduced - shrunk to meet some outside demand.

There will be an under—ground sprinkler system installed and Gordon explained this to Council. Rocky also asked if they could use the Village's tractor and mower to cut the grass but it was stated that they would be better to use small garden mowers. Council would like to know how much water will be used for the irrigation system before decidingif they will absorb the costs. Rocky and Gordon are to get back to Council with the amount. Several bids were received from contractors for the installation of replacing the water line.

United Church BoardRural Initiatives News June 24, 1992 9 people were present. Rocky made up a listing of all the discussions at the meeting with Rae Hunter and we have it to look at. It is really interesting to see how we came up with our mission statement. We listed 5 GOALS that we want to accomplish: I.Golf course in Milo. z.improve recreation activities for kids. 3. Establish talks with Parks i Recreation about the developement of our lake. 4. Contact Economic developement about seniors apartments. S.lmproved communications in the community. We set up committees for the Pot Luck for the new people. Discussed to become a sub-committee under the Ag Society and decided to approach them about it. We decided not to have meetings in the summer, but wanted to remain active in the community. So we are going to do two things - organize kids games and races at the Milo Lions Barbeque, and also organize swimming in Vulcan for the kids twice this summer. We decided to have a Volunteer -Appreciation Night in Milo in the Fall. If you have any suggestions about it, please phone Laurie Umscheid, Carol Robertson or Joanne Monner. We decided to have a name contest to rename our Rural Initiatives Group to make it sound more interesting. This will be open to the whole community. The cut-off date for the entries is September 23/92. We will announce the winner at our Volunteer Appreciation Nite. Please send entries to Laurie Umscheid. Meeting adjourned. UPDATE ON RURAL INITIATIVES ACTIVITIES: The Pot Luck lunch to meet the new people was a great success. We had a really good turnout. It was good to see the community support. The swimming will be going on July 30/92. We will be having some form of transportation and will have to pool to ourselves for one hour. We will be leaving town at 3:30 sharp. If you would like to send your child, please phone Mike Hingley or Carol Robertson to let them know. It costs $2.00 per child, and we really need to know how many will be attending. The second swimming expedition is on August 20/92. Same time. And don’t forget about the name contest for our group. We would like as many entries as possible and it’s open to everyone In the community. For more information on it, please phone Barb Godkin. PLEASE REMEMBER YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO A RURAL INITIATIVES MEETING. THE NEXT ONE WILL BE ON SEPTEMBER 23, 1992 AT THE MILO HALL AT 8:30. HOPE YOU CAN COME!! a******************* Grandparents Now that I have grown and have a son of my own, I see, firsthand, what grandparent’s condone Things that, I recall, used to be taboo, My son seems to be able to do. Grandmas seem to be particularly soft, In allowing things that were usually scoffed. These youngsters are able to read grandma like a book, With a cute phrase, innocent smile, or a made-in-heaven look. Shopping with grandma is an excellent chance, For a young boy’s toy collection to be enhanced. They learn to read price tags, and know their discounts, And memorize stores where grandma has charge accounts. With the tact and coolness of a true professional, They seem to make grandma no longer rational. Grandma withers at a look from innocent eyes, She must have some goodies for these little guys. Grandpas offer a different perspective, About purchasing things, they seem more selective. To torment and tease is grandpa’s way, Of helping out a grandchild’s stay. He keeps things from getting all too quiet. But knows when to stop before there's a riot. Of girls he wants ladies, of boys he wants men, Of diapers he wants no part, they’re grandma’s again. When questioned on why, in these things, they delight, Grandparents say it’s their God-given right. And the "Grandparents Curse" will always hold true, "I hope your kids act just like you!"Because You Care SUN PACER Sun Care Products Stays On W>1 While You Swim About Your Health Swim for 80 minutes You can’t buy good health.
