they May such was not the Case in the cold War atmosphere of the Early when the Public was inclined to go along with almost anything that purported to contribute to National authors of the report reach that conclusion makes it less in four of the 3d the dust went astray and never reached the air sampling machines that had been set there is therefore no record of what happened to those Clouds of cadmium How densely the particles were so it is not surprising that the defence department Felt free is based on incomplete information the authors assume to Spray Clouds of cadmium sulfite and Zinc sulfite around no Winnipeg Ger was exposed to a concentration higher than those recorded by the sampling though anyone close to the sprayers would have been in the thick of the they assume that no Winnipeg Ger breathed the dust for More than 10 though the dust must have continued blowing around the City after the Experiment was Winnipeg in the summer of the Only surprising aspect is that the department Felt obliged to surround the Experiment with a further Cloud of fabrications to the effect that the purpose was to see if cities could be obscured by smoke screens to shield them from Aerial in the spirit of the almost any account of the experiments even an accurate would have been publicly the departments revised version now is that the purpose was to see How cities could be defended against Gas or germ the according to defence minister Gilles was purely information on How Gas Clouds spread through cities in neither defensive nor it can be used for either in modern governmental any weapon or armament program up to and including nuclear bombs can be called defensive if the owner says he does not plan to be the first to use it except perhaps in a preemptive in that the description of the Winnipeg cadmium spraying As defensive is strictly the department has provided no information on benefits drawn from the if scientists or military planners Are any the Wiser today because of the 1953 the Public has not been shown on the Cost spraying cadmium compound particles into the air involves a danger to Public the defence department has issued a scientific report which offers the reassuring conclusion that the Hazard presented to Winni Eggers was but the Way in which the the authors further assume that a level of exposure which authorities have judged Safe for a different com Pound cadmium oxide is also a Safe level for cadmium they assume that since humans regularly eat a certain amount of cadmium in their they can safely breathe it in the though cadmium in the lungs is clearly different from cadmium in the digestive the authors of the report could fairly have concluded that they Lack proof of a significant Hazard to Public but the positive assertion that the Hazard was insignificant is not supported by the the Public health Cost might Only turn up Many years later in lung cancers some of the people exposed to the cadmium and even there would be no sure Way of linking the cancer to the the spraying produced no known military or scientific the Public health Cost cannot be satisfactorily on those the spraying was not those were not grounds used to appraise military projects in but they Are in Case anyone in the defence department is wondering whether a repeat Experiment would be publicly accepted the answer is Stop this meddling now Winnipeg City councillors refuse to see How offensive it is for them to intervene regularly with local police command ers on behalf of constituents who happen to Call councillors Alf Skowron and Harold echoing the views of other have announced that they will continue the practice and would expect other councillors to do the at any Given there is a queue up of Winni Eggers waiting for police the councillors Are advertising an offer that any citizen tired of waiting in the queue can Call his councillor who will bring him to the head of the the councillor would not dare do that if the queue were if the others waiting in line could see the councillor taking the queue jumper by the if he had to justify himself to the others who Are kept but since it is All done secretly on the Only the queue jumper knows that the councillor has done him a favor the others Are never told that they have to wait a Little longer while the police take care of the councillors in defence of the councillors Skowron and Piercy cited cases where they claim to have won police attention to matters that deserved attention and were not getting that is not a convincing if they could presenta Complete list of situations in which they have intervened with the together with the cases in which they have told callers their complaint did not Merit police their evidence would begin to be unconvincing evidence has been presented on the other consultant Joe having interviewed policemen As part of his study of the department for the hinted darkly that he had heard tales of More troubling examples of councillors intervention but since he refused to describe the cases and admitted that they were not he would have done better not to open his Mouth on the Winni Eggers will Call their councillors to get police attention to their problems not the average because the average citizen does not know who his councillor is or where to reach it will most Likely be the councillors business those who have worked on his political campaigns or dealt with him on civic matters or have some reason to believe he will do them a a system in which the police attend first to the councillors friends and acquaintances is a system of Politi Cal useful to councillors to create debts of gratitude but destructive of sound by what criteria will councillors decide when to Tell the caller to forget it and when to demand police action they cannot be criteria based on policing experience because councillors Are not councillors Are responsible human and in the Best cases they would use criteria of common sense and human but councillors Are also and it would be natural for them to include political that is not a suitable basis for deciding the deployment of police citizens seek councillors help in Short circuiting the police dispatch system because that system is not working it malfunctions because the Council sabotaged it at its creation by putting ill prepared staff in the dispatch Centre and by maintaining Public confusion about whether Calls should go to Headquarters or to the local the is not perpetual meddling by it is creation of a reliable and efficient dispatching such a system would reduce councillors opportunities to do favors for their but it would serve the rest of the Public Public has a right to know the admirable plan to reduce the accumulated deficit of the Winnipeg symphony orchestra that was presented by the provincially appointed trustees provides one of the strongest arguments for giving the people of this Community More information about the basis on which other decisions of the trustees were As the plan was highly conditional in its key component is the requirement of a solid commitment from the Federal government to pay on third of a deficit that the trustees say will Rise from a current to next Secretary of state Francis Fox is close to a decision on whether to make that in the context of a special program to help financially All professional performing arts organizations in Canada that Are in difficult the program will be discussed at a meeting in Toronto next week of Federal and provincial ministers responsible for Fox should act for the Sake of All such organizations but especially for the Sake of the Winnipeg symphony he should decide so that the Manitoba government can make definite its currently Condi tonal commitment to Advance a further third of the up to it is understandable that the provincial government has made its contribution conditional upon Federal sharing because the problem has become too massive for piecemeal once these two commitments Are in it will become much easier for the City Council to debate the merits of the proposal that the City should contribute to the elimination of the since the deficit elimination would get the orchestra Back on an even without the dead weight of Large principal and interest such a contribution is very much in the cites the commitment of up to will encourage companies and individuals in the Community to come through with the remaining that would wipe out the deficit this of that Winni Eggers will pay four times for the deficit reduction through their provincial and municipal plus their voluntary Contri the great financial Effort is clearly worthwhile but it deserves something in something that Only the symphony trustees can that something is information about the reasoning and analysis on which the trustees based their decisions to fire the symphony and to accept the resignation of the further required is information on How much of the Niagara of Public funds will be used to pay the still secret settlement made with the orchestra a Community that is being asked to pay in four different ways deserves no forsaken a judges Treasury of
