Medicine Hat MLA Jim Horsman and health officer Dr. Ken Clementi clash over provincial funding for the local health unit. Clementi cites a 28.02 percent funding rise as not addressing staffing and program needs, including interpreter services for Indo Chinese refugees.

The piece urges dialogue among Horsman, Clementi, and the provincial minister to protect community health interests.
Keith Spicer notes Radio Canada International faces a tiny budget but growing global audiences as listeners in China and abroad embrace shortwave. RCI operates in 11 languages beyond English and French, aiming to raise international awareness of Canada, with potential for trade and diplomacy despite political limitations and budget cuts in 1981.
A critique notes RCI sends limited Canadian lifestyle content to Japan and few schools, missing current economic tech and political news. It urges giving Industry, Trade and Commerce a stronger advisory role to sharpen export promotion and leverage mail from listeners to create tangible Canadian jobs.
