Vietnam hailed peaceful since war ends in 1975
Dr Lotta Hitschmanova of USC says southern Vietnam is tranquil and orderly but poverty remains. She notes greenery restored, few streets crowded with soldiers, but shops sparse and rice rationed. USC budgets $860,800 for Vietnam with $150,000 for quinine and mosquito nets, plus aid from CIDA of boxcars of powdered milk.

Ontario ministers clash over federal aid for Ford plant
In a heated Ontario legislature debate, Treasurer Darcy McKeough accused federal Industry Minister Jack Horner of flip flopping on a 75 percent federal incentive for a $500 million Ford plant in Ontario. John Rhodes announced Ottawa would cut its grant to a one for one basis, risking 2,600 jobs, while Liberal Stuart Smith and NDP Michael Cassidy urged Ontario to match funds to keep the plant from moving to Quebec amid a bidding war. Cassidy urged Ontario to end corporate welfare and avoid taxpayer risk as lawmakers clashed and chaos erupted in the house.
