The leaders are off on a tangent and they don’t seem to be able to stop,” says Menard, a Camperville, Man., on the western shore of Lake Winnipegosis. “Over 12 years, it has evolved from several decentralized groups into one, centrally-controlled shop that’s detrimental to the Metis people.” . Federation leaders reject Menard’s charges and say the central office and board of regional representatives is needed because of the organizalion’s size, Ernie Blais, vice-president of the southeast region, says regional board members provide the link between federation locals and the central office. “To say the grass roots are not being represented is bull,” says Blais. He says the federation represents 120,000 Metis and nonstetus Indians in 130 to 140 locals. “The federation is getting big and you're going to have people who are dissatisfied," says Blais, “I just. wish Walter (Menard) would go through proper channels.” Blais says Menard’s charges are contradi¢ted by results of federation work in recent years, _ “How can he say we're not serving’ the people? Last year, in housing, we did more for native people than any other province,” says Blais. : “Th ovr economic develop- ment projects, things are | Sewage makes. free fertilizer and it’s safe too VANCOUVER (CP) — Looking for a cheap fertilizer that will make your vegetables and flowers grow” Jack-and-theBeanstalk- j- ..-. fashion?
