The Titanic Ex aminrr Published by Canadian Newspapers Contpany Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherGeneral Manager Walla Editor Emeritus SATURDAY JANUARY me Henehaw Managing Editor PAGE County should consider change in representation When Simcoe County council is con sidering restructuring pr change in representation more in keep ing with population and taxation is long past due The county council made minor change three years ago which reduced the membership temporarily from 55 to 48 but there are now 53 members again The change merely changed the rules for municipality to qualify for deputy reeve from 1000 qualified voters to 2500 Various reports have been made with recommendations which were file for study but so far there has been no new action Innisfil township pays larger county levy than eight villages but two members voting on expen ditures to eight for the villages There are also other municipalities which have legitimate complaint about unfair rep resentation under the present setup The SimcoeGeorgian Area task force does not mention this asnect di but the recommendation for divi sions into five areas could be used as has only report rectly stepping stone Reeve Earl Brandon of Coldwater headed committee 10 years ago which introduced practical plan It recom mended change from representation by municipal reeves and deputy reeves to desired placed on sideration The levies would direct representation with voting on ward system Several years ago when George Bur ton headed the county planning commit tee report was presented proposing population of at least 6000 for qualifica tion for deputy reeve It also suggested that municipalities should have choice and be represented by mayors if they so contentious issue which has been sharply debated both in county circles and outside proposed changes in repre sentation on county more in line with population would be forward step which merits serious con council to bring it plain fact is such change on realistic lines is long overdue If the county contention that it would like the cities of Barrie and Orillia to rejoin its adminis tration move to bring about represen tation according to population and tax council is serious in its be real encouragement Barrie and Orillia both have had ex perience in the past of providinc tax re quisitions way out of line with repre sentation and were conseonently glad to withdraw as separated cities It inst wouldnt be common sense for them to get involved in the same situation zmaiii unless they have nroner volin powers on expenditure of their tax money DOWN MEMORY LANE FIVE YEARS AGO Barrie Examiner Jan 31 197i Hun dreds stranded by severe storm in Geor gian Bay area One Barrie man died of heart attack after

diznantlv in defence of free enterprise and private enter prise To the hvstander this free en terprise business has always been largely phoney is=ue With such as Smith and Scrive ner getting mixed up in it the feeling is fortified In saying this is strategy it is assumed that the public statement of there two far as possible are being vetoed No leader and government that wanted to live in while longer cauld hardly let them out without chain Some indignation has been ex pressed at the appointment of Allan Grosrman to the chair manship of the crime com pensation board at $33000 year Grossman who has been good and dedicated public ser vant for some 30 years and was cabinet minister for 15 is really bit of victim of cir cumstance It has long been practice here to reward retired veteran supporters of the gwernment wtth semisinecures as chair man of various commissions and members of boards Leslie Frost did it and so did John Roberts to some extent But they were cubdued about it The appointment were made quietly and seldom did former cabinet ministers get nod lhcy mainly backbenchers But Davis has been blatant in his approach in enpoinlmenls such as the Grossman one and that of for mer hackbenchor Len Reilly lo the chairmanship of the Ontario Sraence Centre he has been bol dly affronting public sensitivity and inviting criticism Many people hold that the premier is arrogant

Prime Minister Trudeau opened the Canadian pavilion at Osaka he said that the time has come to think of Japan as being in the near west rather than the far east Trade relations between Canada and Japan have increased remarkably since the Second World War but lhc im petus hogan perhaps Jan 31 1900 when Britain signed con vention with Japan on Canadas behalf Its so was to regu late trade and immigration However the people of Brit ish Columbia were very uneasy about the arrangement in those days There had been large influx of settlers from tho iri ent and British Oolumbians feared the Japancw especially because more than 8000 of them had arrived in ingle year Japan had just defeated Russia in war and British Co liunbians thought the new Japa nese settlers might be the van guard of an invasion One result was that an anti oriental meeting in Vancouver got out of hand and number of curens marched to hc Japa nese and Chinese sccitions of the city and attacked them This greatly mnbarrawvl the federal government which was then in the process of working oul better trade and immigra tion arrangements with lpan ana Minister Lauricr sent cabinet minister Rodolphe Le micux to Japan so anada would deal directly will the Japanese rather than brouuh Britain lle Hll ser Mackenzie King then deputy minister of labor Vainliner to investigate Japanese and Chinoe claims for provth

our prime area attractions but now find that if is not loub thrt over to per cent if that of Barrie resi dents would make any use of the pool in the winter or the summer They say in the article that it will only cost the average tax payer 34 to $5 starting in 1970 at the earliest Who knew at the present rate of irritation this LETTERS TO EDITOR may be lot more then than it is now did not notice for how many years we would have to pay this four or five dollars Will it be like the sewer rate that was put in number of years ago for Wyeai period and has been extended earn year so that it will never end With the present cutbacks by the Ontario government to mun icipalities the board of education has said we will get very hot Simple facts of life should be reunderstood Sir It is indeed

dollar has been at dis count most of the time since midI974 althotzii it dEd touch parity briefly last March But hhe reasons for the cur rent return to parity are what really bring back old times in brief we are spending far more on imports than we are earning on exports and we are borrowing like crazy from for eigners to over the deficit flo those with long memo vies that llltn recalls the fame

SOARING What has happened instead is that Canadian borrowers have been gain to the New York capilal lnik9l for ex traordinarily large amounts and that has pushed up lht trading value of the Canadian

tax increase on this alone Now in 1976 city council wants to start adding to our taxes for 1979 Maybe we should consider levy now for the year 2000 Talking about sdiool taxes wonder if we will ever get to the stage where we will stop ripping off the grown up famil ies and the senior citizens of the county by making them pay taro as on services mat they no lon ger use or receive any benefit from $700000 on an indoor pool It has gone on for years and no dwbt it will continue but one dont like it one bit hope that many Barrie resi dents will write to the Ontario Municipal Board Mr Palmer 123 Edward St Toronto Ont ario and let them know that the taxpayers of Barrie are not happy with city councils decla lon to spend $700000 of Oll money on swimming pool now or in the future WONDER ON THE LIBRARY SHELF Psychohistory makes one think THE WELLFLEET PAPERS edited by Robert Llfton Psychohistory is new word for new concept and appears only in recently published dic tionaries The concept is so involved that it is not easy to define The word psychohistory was first used by sciencefiction writer Issac As mov and was adopted by Robert Lifton professor of Psychia try at Yale University and Eric Erikson professor of Human Development at Harvard Uni versity who had been talking together for ten years abOut psIchology and history and concluded that these COild and should be brought together Their conversations lerl in 1966 to series of mcrlings at Well fleet Mass by at least it ton level psychoanalysts professors of history and sociology etc Explorations in Fsvchohistory is collection of essays and re ports of discussmns out of these meetings The book was first published in 1974 Psychohistory as the title of this book indicarcs is in state of becoming and what we have are indeed explanations in it Most explorations are exciting things when we are in the com pany or enthusiastic experts and theSe 13 or so htzhlv learned ex plorers take us into some rare places of the mini and the pswhe Thev are Cowlle in four related disciplines seeking to enlighten one another in what they consider to be the vital truths about man to try to come to concensus on what makes him what he is and what might be done to improve him Since they do not talk down to anyone the lay reader may have to concentrate bit more than usual if he is to go the whole distance FREUD HANDICAPPED The Wellflcet Papers frequent ly quote Freud and evnress great admiration for him But it is ag reed that psv holisfcrv goes be yond Freud For one thing Freud is said to have been handicap ed by the limildimr ef the sien tific terminology of his day Words to explain new concepts in his thinking simply were not available in his dav and this explains why some in some things Freud was and is mis understood Terminology remains prob lem We are told that We do not yet have language adequ ate to deal with both meaning and process Liftou says The PostFreudian paradigms like the Freudian ones do not make clear exactly what they explain CAVEAT EMPTOR ltll never sell By LEONARD NOBLE Thank you for inviting me here today to give you synopsis of the work of fiction that Im planning said the young man appreciatively to the senior ex ecutive of the large downtown Toronto publishing house The publisher shook the young mans hand warme and smiling ly bade him sit dtwn We like to feel that we can contribute to the Canadian publishing indus try by helping young authors in more ways that just by publish ing their works If we can guide you along the right path and have you watch out for some of the pitfalls in writing then we feel that our mutual interests are benefitted Now then would you please give me the story out line on this novel that you are contemplating Well said the young author somewhat nervously the set ting takes place in the Ci of Montreal in the year 1974 Then the story sort of noes backward and forward in time from that date You see its the story of middleaged Jewrsb doctor who was incarcerated in one of the Nazi concentration camps dur ing the war but managed to sur vive and comrs to Canada as place of freedom to carry on the practice of medicine Unfor tunately he becomes involved in the proabortionist crusade and is changed with perform ing an illegal abortion However the jury acquits him Wait minitn ifmu1ted the senior executive Are you saying that you have Jewish doctor practicing medicine in predominantly lbolic city That he gets charged with an offence and fall short of providing co herent theories of historical cau sation But even the lay reader can see clearly what psycbohistory ie going after when he reads the analysis of certain great men In an examination of Ghandi for example we have this All the greater therefore can be the chaos the great man leaves behind him and often experi ences in himself in the years following his ascondency For the new momentum which he gave to his times may roll over him and his power to provide futher momentum may wane from fatigue or age THOUGHT GENERATOR The range of this books ideas and the thoughts it generates in the reader seem inexhaustible Luther and his motivations and their effect of history are dis cussed so is the collective psy chology of the parole of term any ollowing the Second World War There is lengthy excerpt from Freuds Moses and Mono lhcism in which he pursues the theory that Moses was not chcw out an Egyptian and that the Hebrews killed him 11 accordance with the primitive tribal belief that the father or fatherfigure must be destroyed so that younger men may ac cede to his oriviletes With psychiatry playing an in creasing role in our society prob ing into so many individual psy ches it is of considerable inter est to know something of what is going on in the minds of the leading psychoanalysts themsel ves The Welfleet Papers give us some insight Certain it is that the people who made them possible earn our respect nrt ol fr learning but for their civilized earnestness They believe that man is him self responsible for his own troub les and that there can be no improvement unless be im proves himself 1ois of course is the basic teaching of Christ ianity The difference may be said to be in this that Christianity teach es man to acknowledge his short comings and his need for help and to seek this help from be yond himself Psychoanalysis has it that man must look only within himself to find and acknowledge the weight of the past that burd ens him and by so doing cast it off It all adds up to great deal of thinking The Barrie Public Library has copies of Explorations in Psy cbohistory of committing an illegal abor tion and the jury acquits him Yes replied the young man even more nervous than before You see thats the switch You would have thought that Cath olic jury would have convicted him but obviously the issue was greater than religious be liefs as it involved natural jus tice and thats why he gets ac quitted However the Crown ap peals the verdict and the Quebec Court of Appeal reverses the jurys decision Im sorry to interrupt you again said the executive with illconcealed irritation in his voice But are you suggesting that the Quebec Court of Aplt peal would reverse jurys find ings in criminal case know that your work is fiction but it must have sense of reality in volved with it he went on hope you dont mind my criti cism No not at all replied the nervous would be author know its bit for out but if you dont drink that its be lievable up to this point know that the rest of it is even more incredible Now dont be discouraged rejoined the senior executive As said at the utlstl were here to assist you not ll thwart you in any way suggest that you go home and rethink yOur whole plot outline Better to abandon an illogical plot now than to try and build somcthlng logical on an illogical foundation he smiled What youve given me till now deals with fantasy rath er than realism No one will accc that plot as being liev le ltli never sell
