P.G.
once
more
The
local
branch
of
the
Scientific
Pollution
and
Environmental
Control
Society
is
now
reactivating
after
the
summer
doldrums.
Their
first
move
was
to
ask
everyone
to
plant
trees.
The
planting
site
is
a
burned
our
area
east
of
town.
There
will
be
a
SPEC
trailer
in
the
Woodward's
parking
lot
Oct.
17
where
planter
registrations
will
take
place.
Then
the
next
day
off
to
the
site
to
p
1
a
n
t
your
tree
in
the
SPEC
society's
gallant
fight
against
pollution.
This
futile
plot
is
intended
to
undo
the
devastation
of
a
fire
in
that
area
in
'63.
Futile
plot?
Well,
it's
fine
to
want
to
return
this
land
to
its
former
beauty
but
what
about
the
destruction
taking
place
right
now
under
our
very
noses?
A
very
old
adage,
"An
ounce
of
prevention
is
a
pound
of
cure",
is
very
relevant
in
this
case.
We
will
not
even
be
living
to
see
these
new
trees
grow
if
we
don't
do
something
now.
At
this
moment
it
is
al-m
ost
too
late.
Why
not
prevent
the
spoilage
now
taking
place,
and
worry
about
the
already
wasted
areas
when
we
have
the
source
of
the
problem
licked?
After
all
the
burnt
out
area
is
unpopulated,
unproductive
land
and
will
still
be
here
when
we
are
ready
to
deal
-with
it
when
we
may.
I
believe
that
SPEC
is
a
worthwhile
organization
and
I
would
Hike
to
see
it
producing
worthwhile
results.
It
seems
that
the
members
still
want
to
hold
back,
to
walk
softly.
I
feel
that
SPEC
has
not
changed
from
its
original
position
in
the
spring
when
I
covered
their
first
meeting.
(See
Vol.
1;
No.
8
the
March
9,
1970
issue.)
That
article
expressed
my
views
of
the
mood
of
that
meeting.
People
were
afraid
to
buck
the
big
power
industralists
who
are
the
major
offenders
and
as
a
result
they
pick
on
trivial
matters.
Poisoned,
unbreathable
air
is
not
a
trivial
matter.
Poisoned,
undrinkable
water
is
not
trivial.
These
are
vital
issues.
Mankind
has
not
long
to
live
if
these
issues
are
not
put
first
and
foremost.
You
will
not
die
of
asphyxiation
or
thirst"
if
broken
pop
bottles
lie
around,
or
if
some
land
remains
unproductive
for
a
time,
but
you
will
die
if
something
is
not
done
about
the
waste
being
dumped
into
our
air
and
water.
All
other
issues
lose
their
importance
in
the
face
of
this
thought.
Big
industry
and
the
city's
wastes
are
the
main
villians.
Until
methods
of
cutting
down
and
stopping
them
are
found,
I
cannot
see
a
very
distant
future
for
mankind.
Until
people
get
off
their
asses
and
realize
that
this
is
a
matter
of
life
and
death
nothing
will
be
done
about
it,
and
then
when
they
do
get
up
they
will
have
to
do
it
wearing
an
oxygen
mask,
(wondering
where
their
next
bit
of
unpoisoned
bread
and
water
will,
come
from),
our
future
is
dim?
In
conclusion
I
will
say
that
I
am
wondering
if
SPEC
has
considered
the
fact
that
trees
need
air
and
water
to
survive
too.

Cdn
unions
concerned?
Reprinted
From
The
New
Leaf
By
far
the
largest
section
of
the
Canadian
poDuia-tions
made
up
of
those
people
who
neither
own
or
run
their
own
businesses,
but
have
to
work
for
other
people
for
a
living.
This
group,
the
Canadian
working
class,
comprises
over
seven
million
people
and
their
dependants.
Less
than
30
per
cent
of
Canadian
workers
are
organized
into
trade
unions
for
the
protection
of
their
own
interests
and
the
raising
of
their
living
standards.
Those
that
are
organized,
however,
for
most
part
belong
to
the
various
branches
of
American
unions
in
Canada,
the
so-called
'internationals.'
The
domination
of
our
country's
economic
life
by
the
giant
American
corporations
is
thus
paralleled
by
the
domination
of
our
-trade
union
movement
by
the
American
unions.
Just
as
in
the
former
case,
the
results
are
disastrous
for
Canadians.
As
a
result
of
American
domination
we
have
trade
unions
that
are
undemocratic,
are
run
not
by
the
Canadian
membership
but
by
head
offices
in
the
U.S,
and
their
appointed
and
highly
paid
Canadian
servant.
Another
result
of
the
operations
of
these
made-in-UJS.A.
unions
in"
Canada
is
that
Canadian
workers
are
kept
divided,
the
organized
being
played
off
against
the
unorganized
and
vice
versa.

or
organizing
all
Canadian
workers
so
as
to
be
able
to
effectively
challenge
giant
American
corporations,
the
so-called
'internationals'
prefer
to
leave
the
majority
of
Canadian
workers
unorganized
and
thus
defenceless
in
the
battle
against
inflation
and
the
other
effects
of
the
foreign
domination
of
our
country.
It
is
an
undeniable
fact
that
in
English
speaking
Canada
more
and
more
workers
are
becoming
fed
up
with
the
undemocratic
so-called
'international'
unions,
and
in
increasing
numbers
are
looking
for
an
alternative
Unions
centre
that
is
based
in
Canada.
Until
recently
such
an
alternative
did
not
exist.
However,
some
small
steps
in
this
direction
have
now
been
taken
with
the
formation
of
the
Council
of
Canadian
Unions
(CCU),
an
association
of
independent
Canadian
unions.
The
CCU,
with
a
total
affiliation
of
over
20,000
members
has
made
the
most
significant
contribution
to
date
towards
an
independent
Canadian
trade
unions
movement.
We
who
put
out
New
Leaf
feel
that
the
U.S.
domination
of
our
trade
unions
is
but
another
aspect
of
the
overall
domination
of
our
country
by
the
U.S.
and
that
it
works
against
the
interests
of
both
trade
union
members
and
the
Canadian
people
in
general.
We
will
therefore
give
full
coverage
to
the
injustices
perpetrated
by
the
U.S.
unions
in
Canada
against
Canadian
workers,
and
will
give
full
coverage
and
support
to
the
attempts
of
Canadian
workers
to
build
an
independent
Canadian
trade
union
movement.
