Terrie Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited is Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher WEDNESDAY APRIL ma Brian Sleight General Manager Pu Britain And France solve Power What with the Algerian situation and the resulting turmoil in both France and North Africa France has trouble in pleu ty Nor is the United Kingdom free from trouble with the Commonwealth frown ing on the European Common Market and telling Harold Macmillan in effect to go jump intthe channel But as between France and Britain there is peace As Father Divine used to say Peace aint it wonderful An ekample is the AngloFrench pow er situation For some ears England and France have expe enced power shortages though at different seasons of the year In winter Britains power stations fed by coal were pushed beyond peak pro duction The demands were greater than the stations could handle In summer the situation for some strange reason was reversed Britain had power to burn if the pun can be forgiven while France was desperately short Build more power stations in France to handle thesummer load and more in Britain to handle the winter peak Such would appear the obvious solution But Britain and France having been around considerable number of years hit on an even simpler and more econ omic solution Problem Government representatives from both countries got together and suggested why not string twin cables across the Channel and trade power When in the summer Britain has an excess ship it over to France And when in winter the French have more power than they need shoot the excess back to Britain In late November the Queen pulled the appropriate lever and the first ex changahbegan from France to England It is pleasant to contemplate two gov ernmen speaking different languages and separated by 22 miles of salt water able to find an amicable solution to common problem even if they find their individua problems baffling It should be added that these old slow okes across the Atlantic issued the fol owing statement on the day the first flow of power began So far it is not known how large quantity of electricity can be economic ally transferred between the two coun tries but calculations suggest that cable five times the size of the present pair might become necessary decision on when and by how much the link should be enlar ed will be made in the light of opera ng experience In other words those wily old French men and Englishmen faced problem set about solving it immediately and theyll work out any difficulties as they come along Impeding Flow Of News There is one struggle going on in Vietnam that Americans are losing It is that between newspaper correspon dents who are trying to find out whats going on and the Vietnamese govern ment which lets them know very little There are side skirmishes with Amer ican military authorities who arent help ful when it comes to handing out news either the Milwaukee Journal says Malcolm Browne Associated Press reporter quotes fellow correspondent as saying that the Vietnamese govern ment is against us they figure were all spies or Communist propagandists The United States side wont tell us much be yond the broad outlines of policy and we cant even be sure of that After prying for weeks to get story from an un official source we may end up being blocked by censors Reporters are trying desperately to get the story on Vietnam because they feel that it might become the arena for larger war The Vietnamese governments lack of looperation with the press stems in part from resentment of President Diem of press criticism Diems sisterinlaw and first lady Mrs Ngo Dinh Uhu bit terly assalls stories about Diems failure to undertake basic reforms and to instill loyalty in his people even though they are true She argues that western corres ondents all act as if you were just spec ators here Dont you realize you are with us and we nee your support Correspondents find it difficult to get to where the ting war is being fought They arent bar ed from travel but dan er from the guerrillas poor roads the an uage barrier and the lack of clearly def ed battle lines make meaningful tra vel difficult And if they write anything the government thinks is too critical they face censorship and even orders to leave the country The full story of what is goin on in Vietnam is not being told either are or In this country

FROM UK Must Show Proof Oi Vaccination By MelNlYRE HOOD Special hndon England Correspondent for The Barrie Examiner LONDON Canadian who are planning to spend holidays on the confluent of Europe during the coming summer would be well advised to make sure that they carry with them at all times their lntemetional vac cination certificates Since it is necessary for them to have been vaccinated within the previous three years to ensure their readmlttence into Canada on their return Canadian tours ists coming over to thls side of the Atlhntic will of course have these documents not because restrictions on entry differ from country to country they would be wise to see that they always have this important document available for inspection when it is demanded British travellers going to Europe are finding conditions in this regent very confused and confu ng They find it difficult to ascertain which countries demand recent small pox vaccination certificates and and which do not Because of this confusion many people who intend to visit the continent are being vaccinated and having their certificates stamped by the medical health officers Others seem willing to take chance that these will not be asked for by immigration nu thoritles in European countries CONFLICTING REPLIES After making inquiries from officials who should be able to give an authoritative reply find the situation ls still con fusing An official of French tourlst office in London said It was not necessary to be we cinated unless the lndivldual came from South Wales where the most recent outbreak of smallpox in Britain had occur red But at the French Em bassy all persons planning to travel to France were advised to be vaccinated before going One of Britains largest tra vel agencies is advising all clients going to France to be vaccinated continental travel official of the British Reilways told me that he had to show his vaccination certlfle cats to the Immigration officlt ers at Calais Yetn health of ficial of French airport gave assurance that only people from South Wales were required to have recent vaccination certi ficotes OTHER COUNTRIES The situation regarding other European countries is on par with that prevailing for entry into France Italy has placed restriction on travellers en tering without having vaccina tion certificates Belgian health officials at port and airports of entry have decided to de mand these certificates only from people from the Rhondda Valley and the Llantrisant areas of Glamorgan At the Swiss Embassy in Lon don spokesman said no or der requiring vaccination certi ficates had been made about people from any part of Britain entering Switzerland While there is no requirement that Canadians entering Britain need to produce vaccination cer tificates the position in Europe is so fluid and so liable to he QUEENS PARK Municipal Scandals Would Be Curbed By DON OEEARN TORONTOThere is one key section in the amendments to the Municipal Act which applies pertinently to the municipal scandals which have hit so many areas in the province This is section 32 of the Amending Act If it goes through the houseand there is no reason to believe it wont it will require every local mu nicipality starting next year to publish certified financial state ments and the auditors report thereon This change is significant first of all because it requires pub lication The treasurer must either publish the statements in newspaper having general eirculatinn or mail them to each and every rntepnyer Secondly it is significant be cause it covers the auditors re port And thirdly it is important be cause it encourages munician ties to publish other information authorizes them to do so with out ordering them HOLDING BACK This amendment can be far reaching There has been growing disJ position by municipalities to hold backJnformution And to some degree or other this fig ured in every case whichhas hlt thehead lines lnreccnt years Enstview at least it was in formation which should have figured in auditors reports Compulsory publication will not only mean that councillors will pay more attention to their auditors In many cases they havent even been reading the reports it will also mean that auditors generally will pay more attention to their jobs No Checks This step of compulsory pub lication is apparently the gov ernments alternative to full checks or extensive spot checks of municipal finances While suchchecks have been widely proposed there have beentwo strong objections to them One has been that they would represent excessive interference by the province with municipali ties The second has been that they would require large staff of highlytrained mena staff that probably would not be avail able Publication gives the taxpsy ersas well as our peoplehere the chance of making their own check And there are enough in formed ond responsible people in any electorate to spot mis takesif they have the figure be for them gt greatest restraint of all however should be that officials themselves now will have to take their figures more aeri ously TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Husband Gets Blur In Eyes By JOSEPH MOLNER MD Dear Dr
