They are good neighbors, good citizens who work for better community health. This week of: October 5 to Oetober 11, they and more than 1,000 registered pramacists in British Columbia, together with their fellow pharmacists across Can- ada, are observing National Pharmacy Week, an annual event dedicated to better community health across the country. : The fate of freedom in these times spite of the unceasing vigilance of the welfare state, to worry about tomor: row and today as well. . . Happiness, sanity, freedom from care, none was enough to justify this man following his chosen “profession.” That he had attained what everyone else’ is desperatély seeking in this life and did not ask for unemployment pay, welfare assistance, health services, the prospects of a pension or any kind of ,.-_hand-out,_was-enough to make him, in these days, a freak. | oe And society does not like freaks, particularly those who have made its fondest dreams come true by making a reality of freedom.

The poi tnto note is, that in athe eyes of all..these persons, ‘each of these things is a sin of the ‘worst posible degree. That being so, they designate ‘'t a “crime.” It is the strongest term they can employ. But, in the services “crime? was capable of infinite shades _of intensity. It simply means “mis@éeméanor,” and maty range from unshaven on par- ade, talking back to the cor- poral, to irrevocably perforat- ing your rival in love with a bayonet. For a small offence, a first timer might be “admonished:” for a more serious action “rep- rimanded.” These terms sound innocent, but if enough of them are registered on a mass erlme sheet, it could mean the difference between promo tion and staying in the ranks.

Conservative leadership recently wooed delegates with bagpipes, rube bands, rhyming slogans on placards and volieys of exploding balloons. What bearing do these amusing devices have on the fitness of the two rivals for the job of leading a group that aspires to govern the province? - Canadian political parties seem to have accepted the American custom of making their conventions into circuses. I don’t suggest that politics ought to be solemn and pom- pous. Far from it. There are plenty of oceastons for fun, satire and displays of high’ spirits. - But timing and the sense of proportion scem to have been lost in fhe jumble of attention-getting amateur vaudeville stunts that mark so many of our conventions. Apart from the loss of dignity (it deserves to be lost at tines) the demonstrations do no real harm. They may even do good by releasing nervous tensions in a spirit of heavy- handed good fellowship. ‘, , The cause for worry is not the demonstrations themselves, but the idea behind them: Their existence leads an observer to wonder how much political influence, has fallen into the hands of mountebanks and medicine-show’ publicists. ' Many critics have taken note of the increasing use of mass polities. . et . ‘ The aim of such methods is to attract people to a product by stirring up fear, jealousy, excitement and other non-rational, visceral responses. The purpose of the mass-appeal experts is to make people think with their stomachs. And if there is one field of effort in which people should try to think with their heads, it is Canadian and American j tr SST OES politics, In practise, numerous people will think with their stomachs all the same. However, political leaders in theory are supposed to show an example of responsible behavior. The cynical exploitation of human foibles, which is the mainspring of mass-appeal selling, is the opposite of responsible behavior. Is it asking too much-of the political planners to suggest that they should encourage people to think with their innards? The people who attend conventions are supposed to include . the keenest political minds in the province. When the mounte- banks, the amateur vaudeville boys and the visceral advertising engineers seem to have captured a convention, there js reason to fear that they will capture the party and, after a time, the country as well. | largest selling b .
