canadians jogging along our Janes and politics is the Art of the possible and it would be quite As any fair minded person must for the new minister to achieve the configuration of his predecessor in but there Are different ways of setting an one of which is Well summed up in the famous line say not the struggle naught this May seem particularly appropriate to those who have found that hard Are too often followed by setbacks Girth being human frailty while according to close is a shapely Shadow of his former he now faces the occupational hazards of office state multicultural banquets and

constantly to carry less and less weight in for How else can he meet the High responsibilities of his office sensible Pic changes the Federal governments decision to implement changes in unemployment insurance benefits that were scheduled by the former Liberal administration represents a sensible course of it is encouraging that the new government plans a review of its own that May tighten the rules More by next some of the changes to be implemented such As the imposition of higher penalties for workers who simply quit their or who Are fired for could fit Well into any plan that would reintroduce the insurance aspect of the jobless Benefit some of the other new such As paying less benefits to applicants on a basis of need would fit better into the welfare scheme the unemployment insurance plan has when the new government gets its own it is to be hoped that action will be taken to once More establish Canadas unemployment insurance plan As one More closely representing insurance than when the plan was first it recognized the fact that certain categories of workers were unlikely to become and if they would not Likely be Able to find suitable new employment through governor rent quite these workers were exempted from premiums and were excluded from also exempt were those in seasonal occupations where wages reflected the seasonal nature of the and thus often enabled workers to earn a years salary in less than a years the scheme was eroded for Many including political More categories were including categories that would produce Revenue workers charged premiums but unlikely to collect benefits and categories Likely to Cost Money seasonal workers who would collect every the scheme moved from a self sustaining basis to where it was an annual Drain on the and efforts to reduce the which excluded High income earners from benefits while continuing to charge them flew in the face of any insurance Canada requires a genuine insurance plan to protect those who Are normally part of the work Force but through no fault of their become if the new govern ment moves in this few will find fault with a single voice for Cable two recent developments will help to bring the dispute Between Cable television operators in Manitoba and the Manitoba Telephone system closer to the first is the decision of the Cable operators to Complete the engineering studies necessary should they decide to set up a microwave distribution of Cable television signals that could operate separately from the buried Cable facilities now owned by the Manitoba Telephone the second is the application of Winnipeg Cable companies to provide fire and burglar alarm systems As part of their Cable both developments Are one should end the Stan Pat situation that has developed in the Rural which is causing unnecessary delay in the delivery of Cable signals to communities that were licensed to receive them in the other should put an end to a bureaucratic delay that is depriving Winnipeg citizens of the right to if they so fire and burglar Protection that is working Well elsewhere in North Ameri it is also significant that All Cable companies in Manitoba left turn the province is becoming even More politically or so it even the latest highways legislation seems to provide further evidence of a political politics and driving several years ago an amendment to the highways act permitted Drivers to turn right on a red Light unless the City or municipality had erected a sign stating that it was that did sound quite prejudicial since those Drivers who preferred to turn left on one Way thoroughfares did not have the same the fact that Many were not even aware of such discrimination until they were nabbed for breaking the Law did not ease the where were equal rights at Long last democracy prevailed this week when High ways minister Harry Enns introduced amendments to the presumably it was not merely the cries from the masses that prompted the As Enns even the finance minister liked to turn left therefore when the act comes into under certain circumstances one will be Able to turn right or left despite the when it comes to going Down the Drivers Are still advised to wait until the Light Tunis Are now speaking with a single and that voice echoes the dispute that Winnipeg Cable companies have had for some time with the Manitoba Telephone Only a few months ago there was a split among the opera with the Rural companies taking the Tele phone systems Side in order to get prompt it is not difficult to understand the within a months of operation under Telephone system the Rural operators have adopted the same position As that taken earlier by the Winnipeg Cable this is that they feel they can do the Job and by changing the fire and burglar alarm application is interesting in that it has been As it had to to the Canadian radio television and telecommunications the commission earlier this year authorized such service to be provided by Cable companies in the Ottawa and at the same time specified that the service should be separate from television signals and would not be subject to any Price regulation other than if the crts applies the same Standard to it could be a major Factor in the ownership of Cable pedal usher it is Well known according to the Laws of Aerodyne a a Bee cannot Fly nor can a Bird nor can a unless he uses outside sources of of bees do Fly so do Birds and now a Man has shown that he can Fly using Only his own the Man powered flight of Bryan Allen of from Folkestone in England to Cap gris Nez in France reminiscent of the first Cros Schannel flight made by Louis Bleriot in 1909 is something to capture the Ever since the legend of icarus who flew too close to the Sun and crashed Man has dreamed of being Able to Fly under his own but Only now has the dream become the flight was a close with Allens fragile pedal propelled aircraft never getting More than a few feet above the Channel Waves on its 22mile but it was successful and Allen and the designer of his frail Craft will collect a prize offered for such a flight As Bleriot collected a prize in Allens name should go Down in history along with the names of such pioneers As the Wright Bleriot and other greats of Plum blossoms a Man who survived by Nehemia Meyers special to the free press Israel lev Tumerman is a Man who does not know when to that is at he has just made an extremely significant discovery about the inner Workings of living cells and he is still now by far the oldest Man on the staff of israels Weizmann Tumerman began his scientific career in immediately after the russian and soon achieved Eminence As an experimental it was in this period that he developed and produced with his own hands the first fluorescent Tumerman was Lucky enough to escape the tragic Fate of so Many of his colleagues in the 1930s but in 1947 he and his wife Lydia finally fell victim to the Kab in the openly ant Semit phase of they were arrested because of their stated desire to emigrate to Israel and because Tumerman had been a close Friend of Eugenia Allilu Yeva a relative of stains and Solomon Mik hotels a famous yiddish both of whom were charged with being part of jewish conspiracy against the seven years during his seven years of solitary lev Tumerman sanity was saved by the prison con sisting of books confiscated from the Homes of arrested and not Only did these volumes sustain him but they also led him to turn his attention from physics to soon after lev and his wife were thanks to the Khrushchev he joined Moscow Institute of molecular and there did significant work on Plant photosynthesis the method whereby plants turn sunlight into the Energy that fuels their growth and on the Structure of immune Globe or Tumerman remained at the Moscow research Centre until when he and his wife were finally permitted to already in his mid70s when hear lev was nevertheless offered a position at the Weizmann More out of tribute to his past achieve ments than because of a belief that he could still do significant now the doubters have been proven working practically on his Tumerman has discovered a kind of Eraser More technically known As an enzyme which wipes out the mistakes that May occur when genetic information is transcribed in the cells nucleus in a form which can then be used to direct the production of new cell pro to be scientists have Long known and been amazed by the exactitude with which this process take but Tumerman is the first person to explain How mistakes Are thus giving the body another Chance to insert the right genetic lev Tumerman will shortly be Leav ing for Canada and the United states to lecture on his his wife who will be accompanying has her own Mission trying to interest an overseas publisher in her still in manuscript on life among the soviet elite in the 1920s and old bolsheviks born and raised in she was virtually adopted on her arrival in Moscow in 1922 by Pyotr and Natalya old bolsheviks and friends of Lenin who lived with other soviet leaders within the Walls of the Krem at that Early Lydia the new ruling class already enjoyed Privi Leges and luxuries unavailable to the average for inside the a dining Hall served scarce delicacies and a special shop stocked goods that were not to be had on the outside and for which the elite was billed but did not and even this was not Good enough for people like Leon whose family had its food prepared by a chef previously employed by the Czar and who himself enjoyed the services of several servants and a this life of privilege did not save the soviet of and to Merman describes How they were eliminated one by one until Only four families of the 34 with whom she shared an apartment House in the 1930s remained yet this gory tale has its lighter As when she tells about the night on which she was awakened by a Knock on her apartment trembling with Lydia i went to see who it when the Man explained that he was the superintendent of the everything became Clear people were always arrested in the presence of the there was nothing i could do and so i opened the door with shaking i saw the superintendent and some kind of much to my no one from the the superintendent asked politely int your bathroom flooded and indeed we discovered that it was our upstairs neighbors had left for the country without turning off the water in their and it dripped Down into what incredible she concludes had it been a fire we would have been no less Tumerman was close to Nadezhda stains and throws Lighton her mysterious death on the night of november the Only person to see the body in order to Wash it and prepare it for burial was Zynaida an erstwhile Friend of stains it was from her that Tumerman heard that a shot from had killed Nadezhda then Lydia tells of the Leningrad who was called to the Kremlin because Stalin was suffering from severe de after his the naive pro Fessor announced the diagnosis is Stalin is suffering from a typical Case of severe Vintage wine on returning Home Beth Teryek received Many gifts from the including a bottle of Vintage wine from the cellars of the former a few sips and he dropped even though Tumerman admired Many of the old among whom she lived so she castigates them for ignoring the Mil Lions of people destroyed during Sta Lins prolonged reign of so Long As these millions did not belong to the at not to the party she they had to pay with their lives for their and the betrayal of their the Mon Ster they had created devoured the Tumerman Are grateful to have survived the ravages of that monster and to have the privilege of continued creativity scientific and literary in the eighth decade of their Nehemia Meyers is Public relations director at the Chaim Weizmann Institute at political i am in agreement with the views contained in a recent letter to the free press by there was no doubt in the minds of governor general Schreyer most people that the appointment of Schreyer to the office of governor general was politically motivated by the former prime it was another move made by Trudeau in a desperate attempt to remain in most people will recall that when Schreyer was Premier of Manitoba he advocated that top salaries should not be More than times that of the average Industrial in accepting his present appointment it is obvious that Schreyer did not include him self in this As a Canadian who believes in the monarchy i believe that the office of governor general should be held by a Canadian who has throughout his life rendered distinguished service to his Peterson Winnipeg Happy birthday Sophia Winnipeg born june Dufferin born june James Milroy Winnipeg born Portage la june letters the Winnipeg free press welcomes letters from the authors name will be and All letters Are subject to Adverse move now that the conservative party has been Given the mandate to govern our it must live up to its Campaign some of these Are basically Wise and i am sure they will be put into effect in some other promises were made out of sheer desperation for the one of these was Clarks Promise to move the Canadian embassy from Tel Aviv to in this regard Clark has committed himself to a Case of self induced this is a Promise which he must seriously reconsider and eventually it will not improve Canadas image in the International Community and secondly it will have an Adverse effect on our Economy insofar As it pertains to Trade with the Arab coun Canada is still a net importer of crude Oil directly or indirectly it must come from the whether future contracts for the a of Canadas Petroleum requirements Are negotiated via bilateral Trade agreements or Canadian the Arab including Are currently demonstrating that they can reduce the contractual listings As their policies May very Well the alternative to the buyer is spot sales to satisfy his this can prove to be very costly any where from to a barrel Over and above the posted in 1978 the value of crude Oil import by Canada from the Arab countries was in excess of in Addi Tion to the posted increase which have since been implemented we can be faced with additional significant out lays which otherwise can be of equal the department of Trade and Commerce and Canadian companies have succeeded in develop ing a Market for Canadian products and Canadas 1978 exports to saudi the United Arab emirates and Libya in excess of this Trade should be fostered and fur ther not As Clarks proposal will Only serve to Shibley Reston reunion Reston and District Are celebrating their first Homecoming and school re Union in conjunction with Reston get your registration in now or phone the come on Home for july 25 to Reston and District Homecoming committee no taxis i am dismayed at the Lack of taxi service present at the Winnipeg air i recently arrived Home in Winni Peg on an Nighthawk flight from Van Couver to find dozens of people awaiting taxi service with no cab in when i telephoned a particular taxi cab i was informed that Only one company serviced the air in this and Manitoba in Par free Enterprise is supposed to be the highest of if taxi service at Winnipeg Airport is an example of then i can easily understand Why there is a great migration where cabs Are lined up ready to service weary 24 hours a Corn petition ensures better Public the should be outraged and should demand the Best of one company understandably is not Able to handle All therefore let us at least give visitors to Winnipeg that important first impression the impression that Winnipeg can and will treat people with the Best of Quality Dennis Novitsky Winnipeg cowardly the other for a few glorious it Felt Good to be a Canadian was going to take a courageous stand on the Issue of moving our embassy from Tel Aviv to it was our new government backed Down in cowardly fashion that was utterly unworthy of the Canadian people who voted that government into canadians the people themselves not the politicians Are not and they deserve far better representation than was shown by the new tory gov Mccullough i ;
