WAGEPRICE GUIDELINES Queens UmverSIty group puts it in perspective By JOSEPH DUPUIS CP Business Editor In the Canada of the Second World War wage and price controls were administered by board that quickly developed an esprit de corps The Maritime Prices and Trade Board in many ways reflected the gungho attitude the Canadian public to join together in common cause to fight real highly visible enemythe armies of the Germans Italians and Japanese But todays Canada is far battlecry away This time the enemyinflationis not so acutely visible And there is no commoncause con sensus In fact the federal antiin flation board is operating in the face of fullfledged op position from the labor movement Except for the wartime regulations and brief volun tary program of restraint in 196070 Canada has had no experience with controls This problem worried group of economists from the industrial relations centre of Queens University Kingston Ont With program so com plicated that even the antiin

for circulation ills BAD RAGAZ Switzerland CP One of Switzerlands top spas lies within this com munity of 4000 in the foothills of the Alps An almost tunnel like climb leads the visitor to the boiling thermal springs that feed the spa Bad Ragaz is only 75 minutes by train from Zurich and in 10 more minutes local bus will take the visitor to the entrance of the wild Iamina Gorge for the climb The deep narrow gorge carries mountain stream in to the Rhine The rings were discovered in the 1th century by an employee from near bly monastery So highly did monks regard the therapeutic waters that they built small wooden house at the source in the 13th century Sufferers had to make the long climb from the bottom to the source to receive primitive treatment Many were wra ped in cloths that had been ipped in the boiling water and then they were placed in caves In the mid18th century small hotel and chapel were erected Theres still part of the hotel with recent addi tions at the entrance to the gorge including restaurant Until northern European spas became socially popular in the 19th century only the sick frequented the spas But for years now Europeans have flocked to them for relaxation and lately for preventive therapy and ex ercises North Americans are just beginning to realize their value The thermal baths at Bad Ragaz are recommended for sufferers from rheumatic and blood circulation disorders Consequently few sufferers at the spa are extremely ill Theres no hospital feeling The Quellenhof Kur and Golf Hotel is as elegant as the best anywhere Its large and pleasant lounge areas are complemented by its main diningroom with its three glassed sides looking out on the hotels parklike grounds Naturally its large thermal indoor pool is the centre of its therapeutic life QUEENS PARK Alarming possibility of polio outbreak By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Check that your childrens or grand childrens polio shots are up todate There is an alarming possi bility of polio outbreak in the rovince this year first indication came out of Ottawa where very high virus counts were repor ted But followup questioning in the house Since then has uncovered that there is danger in areas all across the province The point of great concern is that many children may not be protected by im munization shots The may have had shots irobahly most children in the province have had them But these shots must be re newed and there is fear that in great many cases there havent been these renewals Acting health minister Dr Bette Stephenson says quite frankly that dan er is that great many probably have been lu led into sense of false security Thanks to the Salk vaccine it is so long since we have had polio outbreak that many people arent conscious of it ministry now is crash planning an immunization trogram But it would seem the wisest course would be for everyone to take care of their own needs for it is doubtful if the government can get totally effective program un der way between now and summer As it now is for example Animal insurance for the unusual SAN FRANCISCO AP Horses only 30 inches tail that romp in Southern California home an alligator with fear some teeth and career in advertising an elephant calf from India en route to childrens park in Santa Bar bara even Lassie wall these and many less exotic animals have one thing in common they are insured The minihorses belong to James and Jill Hill of Santa Ana who own five of the 1592 specimens listed by the American Miniature Horse Registry The Hills say it costs no more to feed their herd than it does to feed five grown house cats Their petsthey say any animal that waits the re rigerator for snuck surely qualifies as ct are insured for $8500 in event of death caused by sickness disease or accident The insurer is Firemans Fund American Insurance Companies ons of few fir ms in the country that sell animal mortality insurance Under animal policies WE

ses with an average value of $3000 and cattle with an average value of $2000 said Gerald Isom head of the department The premium is generally about five per cent of the animals value Isom said the typical risk is an American quarterhorse ised for pleasure riding His company paid about 60 claims on horses and cattle last year The major causes loss for horses were colic and twisted intestines while those for cattle were cancer and leg injuries Owners of other types of animals must look beyond the animal mortality policy for coverage Consider hhe woman who as promotion stationed large alligator outside her roadside store in Louisiana She sought to insure the alli ator against theft An in and marine policy was written but the company ran intoa roblem The premium depen ed mainly on the age of the alligator determined by counting its heeth No one was willing to count The company inally charged $250 linear foot GETS STAR TREATMENT It was under similar type ofnpolicy that one claim was settled in unique way The company had insured an elephant calf that had been donated to childrens park in Santa Barbara The animal died and knowing that the childrens parka wanted an elephant rather than cheque the insurer arranged for the shipment of re placement calf from India some schools do have im munidzation programs and others dont It seems to be matter which is up to the in dividual schools VITAL QUESTION The fight put up by Premier Davis for Ontario on energy prices generally is praisewor He has been the one govern ment leader who had ut strong emphasis on the Vital question of how and how much mone would be chan nelleged to the oil industry for exploration and de velopment And as the leader of large manufacturin province with large depen ence on export he has fought hard for the only logical osition becoming to it lowest sible prices even though om the start it was obvious that it would be an almost en tirer hopeless fight But there is one argument he has put forward which has to be taken with tongue in cheek This is that there were arbi trary decisions by the federal government and as he told Hamilton audience every time taxpayers see such ac tion faith in liticians is lessened Jo Robarts knew this he said and so did Leslie Frost and Mike Pear son The fact is that if there is to be progress there must be some arbitrary decision by government For proof one only has to back to the introduction of larger unit school system in Ontario This was an entirely ar bitrary decision And of course it was designed by minister of education named Bill Davis acting under the leadership of premier named John Robarts Program encourages women to reach for the top rung MONTREAL CP unique program at Canadian National Railways is designed to encourage women in the company to reach for the top Louise Piche currently at work on doctoral thesis on womens work motivation is putting her academic knowl edge into the program The CN project is the result if survey conducted by an allwomen consulting firm whichnfocused on equal op portunities for women in what has traditionally been mans world sample survey con ducted by BoyleKirkman Associates of New York showed that in CNS Great lakes and Montreal regions there were few women in the company let alone in man agerial positions At the time of the survey in the summer of 1974 onpy four per cent of the work force in those two regions was female About 01 per cent of those women held management jobs Latest shatistics indicate that women make up 57 per cent of the work force in the two regions and about 02 per cent of them have management jobs LACK DIRECTION The survey found that women who aspired to higher places had no idea of how to gain promotion Now Miss Piche and Heather Pratt coordinator female resource develop ment will be showing them how and showing their bosses how to help them move up They wrll do this by con ducting inhouse seminars for female employees which would also be applicable to men We want them to become more aware of goal and how to bet on reasonable goal Miss Piche said Some women jum atthe thought of going cad and immediately set their sights on their employers ition This was not realistic What was realistic was perhaps taking cut in pay or downgrading of job category to move into more suitable field for what they wanted secretary might even want to go on the road Management always asks about the bunkhouse where there are no facilities for women Miss Piche said We say let the woman take CANADAS STORY William Phips stood before kings By BOB
