less social studies Are being taught is for throughout my English and social studies have been and at present English is a compulsory course in order to graduate from i am sure there Are other High schools in this country whose curriculum is much the syp Nowich then goes on to say that memory work has that May be but education is not memory nowadays memory work is memorizing something for a test and then forgetting it once the test is the is to learn what you Are being As for memorizing is not As important As the poems meaning or Why the poet wrote As for teachers who assume no extra there

rather than the facts which were presented to the festival do Voyageur was advised last Winter that its longstanding Book ing of the convention Centre was being preempted to make the space available for a National convention of the mousing and Urban development association of Canada Hudac to be held in Winnipeg during the unsuccessful negotiation with every major downtown facility mostly the executive started re searching other one of those alternatives was the Purchase and renovation of a building situated at 768 tache which we had looked at As Early As although the need of facility for the 1982 rendezvous Casino contributed greatly to the decision to get the project under Way at this it is wrong arid uninformed to assume that the facility will become a Gam bling we have bookings for the convention Centre until 1987 and will possibly return in festival do Voyageur has been very successful in attracting tourist and convention business to Winnipeg at a time of the year that used to

any attempt to pass the Neutron weapon off As a conventional Type of weapon is sheer the chief Mission of the Neutron bomb is to kill human beings while leaving some of the buildings and other

time i turn on the radio or to or read the All i hear and read Are crime or of people losing their i heard recently on the radio that prime minister Trudeau told a lady she was a crybaby because she was upset about losing her How would a person in Trudeau position know anything about needs Trudeau and other government members should try living like the average working Man with a then they might be Able to hear from the deaf ear that they Are giving every Arundel video by Gudmundur the seven Oaks Hospital i note that on september the free press printed a retraction notice on this because of the prominence Given to the incorrect i feel compelled to expand on your comparatively Brief Myrdal has advised me that in no Way did he convey the message to Brosnahan during the interview that

gained experience in opening three major Community hospitals Victoria and All three of these hospitals moved and expanded from a considerable base and took three years and More to reach Capaci the schedule for seven Oaks to reach capacity has been designed to meet the rightful expectations of seven Oaks patients to receive the Best care Possi ble and for medical staff to provide the Best care funding will be available to seven Oaks to open fully when the Hospital is pressure to open the Hospital sooner than realistically possible is certainly not being exerted by the seven Oaks

kind of conscious action convulsions and loss of con death will follow after dreadful torment and wholesale application of Neutron explosives will mean the total extermination of the population and bring on fateful consequences both for the pres ent and future the greatest danger lies in the fact that Neutron weapons can be not on an order from the president of the United but on instructions from individual army commanders for an army corps in the so called nuclear threshold will be lowered so that the probability of nuclear War breaking out will be drastically nuclear explosives can be

september liberals turn Tail and run when confronted Bank of Canada governor Gerald Bouey has again told canadians that there is no alternative to punishing interest rates As Long As Canadas inflation rate and its International bal Anceo payments deficit remain bogeys outlined in a speech in Calgary this constitutes a repetition of his the Federal governments monetarist theories that Are coming under increasing attack from Liberal and even from a Liberal Maurice writing on behalf of the Canadian Institute for economic Lamon Tagne has described monetarism As an economic doctrine which is Funda mentally As simplistic As social credit and just As out of touch with today economic Lamontagne views will be Welcome news to the thousands of canadians who face staggering increases in their

graphically described Canadas fateful like most other business did not suggest that the coun try try to get off but then the governor added that Canadas own inflation rate will still have to be
