orrrwa as harm Executor Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited Finds Pensioners 16 Bayfield Street Barns Ontario to Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager THURSDAY FEB 1981 Puo Brotherhood Week 1962 Cc1rries Worthy Message Fourteen years ago the citizens of Barrie observed Brotherhood Week with view to giving our people an oppor tunity to rededicate themselves as indi viduals to the basic ideals of res ect for human life and human rights ch are the cornerstones of our democratic way of living Brotherhood Week Feb 124 has grown to such an extent that it is now being observed all across Can ada Sunday marked the opening of Broth erhood Week for this year and it is to be hoped tltat it will again enlist the active support of our citizens to help build greater spirit of brotherhood in Barrio in their yearround activities Backin 1984 Catholic priest in Den ver Colorado remarked to his bishop what great thing it would be if for ust one day everyone would live up the ideal of the Brotherhood of Man His suggestion was passed on to the National Conference of Christians and Jews where it was quickly adopted The same year the Conference organized an observance of Brotherhood Day in about 500 communities in the United States The project was an immediate suc cess until 1946 when Brotherhood Day gave way to Brotherhood Week be cause single day proved too short for its proper observance Prime Minister John Diefenbaker points out that Brotherhood Week de serves the support of all Canadians for it gives each of us the opportunity to join in national dedication to the rin ciples of nondiscrimination mutu re spect and understanding among all rac es and religions And to maintain these ideals of Brotherhood we as individuals must practise them continually in our daily relationships with our fellow citiz ens Todey as never before in the face of world challenge we must all rededicate ourselves to the principles of Brother hood during this coming week and work for Brotherhood throughout the year We must give to others the rights and respect we want for ourselves Milk Pasteurization Vital Pasteurization of milk has become the rule rather than the exception in most large centres where dairy products are handled in large quantities There still apparently is considerable position based on misapprehension the con sequences of the process Quite often per sons in rural areas dont bother to take the precaution There is no getting away from the fact that if we are to have safe milk avail able for everybody the milk must be clean pasteurized and handled under strictly sanitary conditions According to the Health League or Canada large proportion of the epidemics propagated by milk originate outside the cities and towns in rural areas where pasteurizat ion is not practised Farm milk should be pasteurized for home as well as for city consumption Pasteurization of milk according to re liable investigations carried on under the auspices of the Health League of Can ada does not have any detrimental effect upon its food value and its vitamin con tent Nor does it affect the taste provid ed the pasteuflzing process is properly carrIed out Safeguarding our health through the proper care and treatment of milk ought to rank place of first importance in any public health program Other Editors Views CUSTOMER SUFFERS London Free Press Restrictive hours for stores have been approved by Sarnia council granting six categories of businesses Mondayclosing bylaw The request was made by merch ants who no doubt have consideration for scores of store employees who will ob tain long weekends This raises again the question whether the merchant the em ployee or the public which is the cust omer should rank first Several Canadian cities have adopted the Monday closing program as opposed to the former Wednesday afternoon holi day several already have reverted to six days as they found they were losing trade to businesses beyond the city confines In Sarnia grocery stores recently switched from Wednesday to Monday closing and without much complaint according to that citys merchants Yet this is depart ment where buyers are left for two full days Without supplies London has had similar closing pains This city was required to pass bylaws asked by the required number of mer chants according to the Factory and Shop Act Some members of council felt this was possibly unfair to consumers and had an inherent danger to the merchant A1 ready London shops are facing the in roads of shopping centres built beyond the citys boundaries The decision of the merchant is dif ficult one weighing benefits with very evident disadvantages However mercan tile business is the servant of the buyer and won its success through the consum ers favor In fact the customer still re mains in the drivers seat DOCTORS AND INSURANCE Ottawa Citizen Submissions being made to the Royal Commission on Health Services by pro vincial medical groups already seem to be following general pattern They op pose compulsory medical care plan that would be supported by the nation and be of benefit to all Canadians These medical societies arms of

published thmtn ulation would be looked after either through direct payment of bills or mem bership in schemes sponsored by doctors The Manitoba Medical Association in the first brief presented to the royal com mission in the Western provinces said that mechanisms should be established to bring medical services to those unable to afford themAt the same time it took issue with those who hold that medical insurance should be completely under government control On the other hand the Manitoba government proposed noncompulsory medical care plan run by the provinces but heavily subsidized by the federal government Mr Justice Hall commission chairman has put the issue in the right context by stating that there is growing opin ion that the opportunity for good health is right possessed by all No citizen in Canada should he denied that right regardless of financial means Many Canadians go without neede medical attention because of the finan cial burden that would be placed on them by prolonged treatment Others may lack financial resources and have too much pride to seek public assistance compulsory prepaid medical insur ance plan sponsored by the federal gov ernment in cooperation with the prov inces would offer much more promise than the medical groups are ready to ad mit at this stage SHOE ON OTHER FOOT Baltimore Sun Last fall the steel companies had to put in schedule of wage increases made mandatory by their last previous con tract This meant increased costs Just nprior to this the President intervened with an urgentrequest to the companies not to make any compensating increase of steel prices The President deflected complaints that this was onesided inter vention by stating that he expected the unions to exercise an equivenlent re straint when their contract expired in mid1962 Now the shoe is on the other foot The present contract still has months to run but steel labor is already mulling over new claims The question is how far the unions will heed the Presidents refer ence last fall to equivalent restraint and how far the President will go in urg ing them to The administrations cam paign of persuasion began yesterday with an evenhanded statement by Secretary of Labor Goldberg in which he urged both labor and management to restrain themselves and threw in third plea this to the usersof steel not to go in for advance steel stockpiling and so dis rupt the steady course of production This statement is appropriate for now The real test will come later when steel labor gets its demands in shape fore taste of these wasprovided at the winter labor meetings in Miami when President David McDonald of the steelworkers spoke favorably of shorter work week with no decrease in pay This is of course the equivalent of substantial wage increase Treated Generously PATRICK NICEOIJON OHAWA Wades old age pensioners are now the most generously treated in the world Under the new Dielcnbaker formula of $55 per month for each oldstcr

They get all the sympathy because they are tired have had chronic insomnia since was 15 and it gets worse with age sleep only two or three hours night and sometimes not at all Its continual fatigue unless take nap after lunch Then have relief for the after noon and psychiatrists have given me up guess am too sensitive but have found that if am given little consideration and sympathy at home it really does help When am tired guess it shows up in my expression or tone of voice and then naturally will be mistreated or slighted MA Our understanding of sleep re mains incomplete We do know

that is truly Christ len springs from personal oom milment to Jesus Christ corporation income tax The levy on indivldual income tax was restricted to maximum of $90 per indlvidual In the lat est year surveyed the average income tax payer contributed about 46 to our old pension fund and since we murt recog nise that tho individual is the ultimate payer of all taxes be also contributed an average of $23 through corporation income tax and an average of $69 through sales tax Thus in general terms we can say that the average Canadian earner is paying about $138 year into the fund and he draws for himself and his wife $1560 year out of the fund in their old ago Contribuqu will probably have to be in creased to make the fund actu ariolly sound following the let est increase ARE NEEDS MET Our old age pension is pay able to everyone regardless of their need And the same pon sion is paid to everyone regard less of his place of residence This ralses various questions CommImlty charity or should it now be called community social justice Il may levied from each according to bll means But lr it distributed to each according to bir needs sldellght on these needs ll of course provided by the aver age wager and salaries earned In various parts of Canada The average Canadian is to day eaIolns $4111 year in salaries and wages But the fig uro fluctuates widely from this national average In various provinces Thus the old age pension pay able to couple in wealthy British Columbia is about one thlrd ofthe average earnings for one person ln that province At the other end of the scale an old couple in PEl draw exactly the lame pension yet prior to rctlrement father in our Island province was ever aging only twice that pension BETTER OFF Thur the PEl pensioner in much better off than the BC pensioner Ilncc the varying wage levels reflch to certain extent the cost of living in dif ferent provinces This has to he recognized by supplementary pension payments made by the BC provmclal government as also In Saskatchewan and Al berta in case of need Rent and medical costs are the two grave loads upon the means of pensioners Increased rents will inevitably absorb good part of increase in pan aion while medical costs rise all the time This raises the question whether our old folk might not be helped bcttcr by lower rents and medical costs than by higher pensions These are the sort of querv tions which are seen here as leading us lnevltably to the sys tem of contributory pensions under which the present flat rate pension will be replaced by sliding scale pensions related to the size of contributions made by each individual pensioner durIng his working life REPORT FROM ILK OneDay Strike Ties Up London By MCINTYRE HOOD Speclul London England Correspondent for The BanIo Examiner DONDDN The extent to which the millions of london workers are dependent on pub lic transportation to travel bo tween their homes and their places of occupation has been dramatically revealed by the chaos which resulted from oneday strike on the under ground railways aod on the Southern Region suburban trains running into the citys stations This is being written at my home at Stanmore some 12 miles from my office be cause the strike has daprived me of underground railway transport which is essential from here And as have been listening to the broadcast stor ies of the absolute traffic chaos which prevails in the city today am reassured that it was wise not to attempt to get to the otfice this morning Over million workers travel by underground railway to the heart of London each day An other 590000 come in by trains from the suburban areas to the south from placesas far dis tant as coastal points in Kent and Sussex These two modes of transportation simply stopped for the day and all these work ers had to find other means of reaming their places of busi ness The net result has been pandemonium and traffic jams on all the highways leading into London Hundreds of thousands of peo ple living in the suburbs make habit of driving their cars to the nearest underground ain tloo parking them there for the day and going on into the city by tube Today these peolt pie ventured to drch their can right intothe city Forseoing this the authorities set aside the noon Parks and other open areas in the clty as emergency parking areas The operation of parking meters was suspend ed for the day At an early hour every avail able space in these parking areas was jammed and every parking meter space was filled Still cars by the thousand poured into London Traffic backed up until there wen lines of cars bumper to hum per in some cases seven miles long journey that normally would take half an hour was taking drivers from two to three hours Many of the workers using cars to reach the city reached their places of busi ness just in time to go out for lunch and then to avoid the late afternoon traffic jam started off again for the home ward drive BUSES TWO HOURS LATE Closing of the underground railways threw tremendous burden on the bus system which was running ahnost at normal strength although some of the bus crews were also on strike Hundreds of people formed in long queues at every bus stop The majority never got on bus at all Caught in the jam of traffic the buses were able to crawl along only at snails pace THESE HIGHS IRE REPRODUGED 5115 AS may serene5 THEY ALCDHCL
