Education's tab

IM MATKIN president of the

Employers Council of B.C. warns that

restraint in education spending is a
mistake that threatens B.C.’ future.

The essence of his messape is that educa-
tion forms the vital foundation of the high
lech, service-oriented,  information-based
economy to which the province must move
as fast as possible. Tomorrow's world will
no longer offer any — stable prosperity to
mere hewers of wood and drawers of water.

Coming trom a tree enterpriser like Mr.
Matkin, the Jogic ww  unarpuable. Other
business leaders as well as highly respected
academics are beginning to echo it. Whatever
the public may presently find wrong with our
public education system, if won't be cured
simply by strangling the system financially.

Nevertheless, Mr. Matkin would do well to
take the warning a stage further. Huge
government deficits---whether in the U.S.,
Ottawa or Victoria---are the key cause of our
current economic woes. Until we again live
within our means ‘as a society, no lasting re-
covery is possible. B.C. has made a healthy
start on this task, but it can continue only if
any increased expenditure is balanced by in-
creased revenue or by savings elsewhere.

At this critical time for our future, ade-
quate funding for the right types of educa-
tion is clearly essential. Bul, one way or
another, the citizens of B.C., not ‘‘the gov-
ernment’’, will have to pick up the tab---
either in extra taxes or by cuts in other ser-
vices or capital projects. Unless that is made
equally clear, we shall simply slide back into
further long (erm trouble.

Pay the price!

here can be no denying financial com-

pensation to the B.C. man wrongly im-

prisoned for eight years for a rape he
didn’t commit. The argument against the
death penalty is that a miscarriage of justice
can always be corrected. Applying that logic
to the present case, money is the only possible
“‘correciion’’, inadequate though if may be
measured apainst nearly a decade of a nmaa’s
hfe. Phe prce of error by the justice system
should be patd swift and penerously

T THE AGE of fifty-four, Dvera Berson

dentist.

Her teeth and gums seemed
fine, so the dentist sent her
home

But the pain persisted - so
she went to an internist who
gave her some pills that took
the pain away She thought
no more about it

Then, sax months
over one dreadful

Arthritis affects the joints
— but the pain sufferers ex-
penence often comes from
deteriorating surrounding
muscles pressing on nerve
endings

Strengthening these
muscles through regular exer-
cise can help alleviate the
pain

Ms Berson found that ex
ercising tn water was more
comtortable than cxercising
ondry land The buoyaney of

the water reduced the
physical pressures of exer
cise And while the arthritis

remained painful for a while
as she exercised, the exercises
