     “Expo is being used as an occasion 
     
     to push the Socred agenda.” 
     
    

    
     Frost says Expo advances three 
     
     well known goals of the Social 
     
     Credit government: weaken the 
     
     labour movement, enhance free 
     
     enterprise, and clean up the uglies 
     
     of downtown Vancouver. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The clean up, the excitement, 
     
     the carnival, the jobs, all add up 
     
     to one big hotdog. Re-election. 
     
     Expo is the perfect scheme for 
     
     re-election says Frost. 
     
    
   
   
    
     “It’s a giant PR gimick,’’ she 
     
     said. It combines short term 
     
     economic renewal with 15,000 
     
     temporary jobs and presents them 
     
     in a fantastic package of novelties 
     
     that doesn’t even come out of the 
     
     Social Credit party’s coffers. 
     
    

    
     The government announced 
     
     first they will give away $500,000 
     
     from the B.C. lottery fund to 
     
     cover the travel costs of children 
     
     wishing to travel to the fair. This 
     
     from the same government that 
     
     virtually eliminated school field 
     
     trips. 
     
    

    
     The second clue came from 
     
    
   
   
    
     labour minister Terry Segarty who - 
     
     told his constituents in the B.C. 
     
     interior they would only get 
     
     money from the Expo legacy fund 
     
     for a library if he is re-elected.

     To boycott or not to boycott is 
     
     the question critics are wrestling 
     
     with. If a successful boycott is 
     
     mounted, the fair could easily 
     
     flop destroying the credibility of 
     
    
   
   
    
     the Socred government. It could 
     
     also destroy the economy by 
     
     creating an enormous deficit. 
     
    

    
     But if there is no boycott, the 
     
     propaganada will be so pervasive 
     
    
   
   
    
     that many people will believe it 
     
     and vote Socred in the next 
     
     election. And that is something 
     
     many British Columbians don’t 
     
     want to happen. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Business dinner success 
     
    
   
   
    
     A crowd of over four hundred 
     
     were on hand for the Tenth 
     
     Annual Businessman’s Dinner’ 
     
     sponsored by the UPEI Business 
     
     Society. Guest speaker Ronald R. 
     
     Keating, President of Litton 
     
     Systems Canada Ltd., spoke on 
     
     the topic of changing technology 
     
     and its effect on Canadian busi- 
     
     ness. 
     
    

    
     The evening went off. fairly 
     
     smoothly. Only two protesters ap- 
     
     peared outside the Island Con- 
     
     vention where the dinner was 
     
     held. Inside, Mr. Keating steered 
     
     clear of much of the 
     
     by avoiding any direct mention of 
     
    
   
   
    
     his. company’s proposal to come 
     
     to the Island and by emphasizing 
     
     the peaceful applications of 
     
     Litton’s products. 
     
    
   
   
    
     He began his speech by talking 
     
     of the company’s history, elabo- 
     
     rating on its technological achieve- 
     
     ments. He mentioned that in the 
     
     past twenty-five years the com- 
     
     pany had sales in excess of two 
     
     billion dollars. with 80% of that 
     
     being in exports. He stressed that 
     
     Litton Systems of Canada was 
     
     placing this country among the 
     
     in the i 
     
     research and development field. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Much of the speech was de- 
     
     voted to discussion of the firm’s 
     
     new fiberoptic gyro, a highly 
     
     sophisticated navigation and 
     
     guidance device. The device is a 
     
     large improvement over the older 
     
     mechanical gyros. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Keating also mentioned the 
     
     troubles and triumphs of the com- 
     
     pany’s work on the head up 
     
     displays (HUDs) used in American 
     
     and Canadian fighter aircraft. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mr. Keating stressed the bene- 
     
     fits to Canada of Litton being an 
     
    

    
     ional corporation. Tech- 
     
     nology developed -at a cost of 
     
    
   
   
    
     many millions of dollars in the 
     
     United Staies or Europe can be 
     
     brought into Canada at a fraction 
     
     of the cost. Litton Systems of 
     
     ‘Canada has invested $135 million 
     
     in this manner to bring techno- 
     
     logical processes and patents into 
     
     Canada. 
     
    
   
   
    
     At the close of the evening, Mr. 
     
     Keating was thanked by the repre- 
     
     sentatives of the Business Society 
     
     for his appearance and was 
     
     warmly applauded by the au- 
     
     dience. A gift was given to him on 
     
     behalf of the Society as a token of 
     
     appreciation.
