This trend of dismissing Canada from any role in international affairs not only hurts our pride but could hurt us physically as well! So Mr. Trudeau in the interest of interjecting a Canadian train of thought into the stagnating arms talks in Geneva, try to “influence the atmosphere in which these negotiations are being conducted” not because you are going to stick your nose in where others feel it doesn’t belong but because East-West relations are too important and affect too many people to be left solely in the

When the wine is ready to drink, in about 1990, you will pay at least $100.00 a bottle for that wine.” The smart thing to do is to buy those bottle of wine very cheaply, put them in the cellar and forget about them for a few years.
“The concept of wine is get it very cheap, let it improve with age and have the best wines around,” said Putt. About two and a half years ago, Putt and some of the

were involved in a new wine club. They kept it going for two years.
Canadian wines have been treated unfairly, said Putt. “Probably 15 years ago Canadian wines were as terrible as people thought,” he said. If one looks at the vineyards where the “great wines” are made such as France and Germany, the ground is so poor that it merely supports a vine. One of the problems with the Niagara region is that the soil is very good. The vine has to be stressed and some of the roots go down 30 feet looking for water and minerals for best wine making countires, but in the Niagara region the vine only goes down two feet, so there’s not enough stress put on the vine.
The other reason is that the better vineyards in France and
Germany have very

controlling how they make the wine. Two of these laws are what kind of grapes you can use ana
how many grapes you can take In France, you can take 250 bushels per acre, in the Niagara region they take 2,000 bushels per acre. The Niagara soil is too good and they take far too many grapes off the given area, and they also have the wrong kind of grape. They don’t have the true wine grape. They have the concord, Niagara wine, which aren’t true grapes. 1

as “Guelph Student Association of Conestoga College,” said G.S.A. president Dan Guitar. The incorporation will mean that the council will be able to function better financially in respect to liaison with the
Board of Governors and also with the government. The incorporation will also release the G.S.A., of any liable connected with student activities, Guitar said. The G.S.A. is currently in the process of being audited by Thorne-Riddel Inc. This audit must be done in order for the incorporation to become possible. The audit is also requested by the Board of Governors so that the G.S.A. can receive the student activity fees for 1983-84, Guitar said.
