result to large degree of the nationalistic ex cesses of the late President Nasser and the imbalances incurred by the Soviet presence It ie difficult to tell which has hadthe worst effect on an Arab nation once considered the Middle Eastern Islamic leader and with an economy in 1952 than the one whic now is drowning after 25 years of revolution and socialism Opinions are being ex pressed thut Anwar Sadat ng held oack his strong per sonal resistance to the frantic Nasserist nationalization and the size of the Soviet military and economic presence This he no longer does established as he is in desperate Egypt which needs leader like him who nan somehow or other turn back the clock Additional troubles have agued Egypt chiefly the ailure of the Aswan Dam to perform the miracles on the land it was intended to do PARLIAMENT HILL Elevator trouble repairs come before external relations BY STEWART MacLEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Many people claim to be able to catch the flavor of strange city by spending an hour or so thumbing through the local telephone directory The real students of direc tories break down such classifications as ethnic com munities eatingout habits recreational facilities and night life before reaching their conclusions With this in mind grab bed the latest edition of the external affairs department directory for some reason this department issues directory separate from the governments uarterly booksto see whet erl could catch the flavor so to speak was always under the im pression that most people at external affairs spent their day dealing with other coun tries and that every room in the massive Lester Pear son building was buzzing with intense conversation about China Russia and Rhodesia Perhaps this is so but the di rectory leaves the decided impression that many em ployees have other things on their mind guess had made allow ance for the bureaucracy This directory reflects as closely as possible the or ganization of the depart ment says the introduction And then it goes on to list some of the frequently called numbers from among the 1500 or so in the book The first reference to ex ternal relations was the eighth number on that list Before it came such frequen tlycalled numbers as elevator trouble and fur niture repairs WELL DESIGNED When looked up the Bu reau of African and Middle Its construction represen ting the largest single in frastructure project of the Soviet Union in the Third World has produced some disastrous ecological feed backs which neither the Rus sians nor the Egyptians an ticipated ASWAN DAM PROBLEM Its power yields were over estimated Salinity silting and the extension of bilhar ma the plague of the Nile River parasite which works its way into the vital human organs have all been extended by the dams presence Eastern Affairs found there were three telephone numbers listed thought there would be more con sidering the fact there are 14 phones for the departments interior designers Its nice building was also surprised to see there were only two numbers under economic and scien tific affairs since this is athcr important area Then again there are only two phones for the departments personnel welfare coun sailors can fully appreciate the need for two telephones under request for current recor since the department has had traditional bent for keeping documents And there is certainly nothing wrong with another two phones for request for special records But what confuses me is why there should be another Hollywood turns to England for noncolloquial actors LONDON CP Hollywood is caught up in one if its periodic love affairs with the English accent says film producer Saul David Of course theres one con dition he said in an in terview with Evening Stan fiim critic Alexander lker Talent should ac ootnpan it Davi backed his view when he signed the leads for Logans Run hailed as one of the biggest science fiction films smce Stanley Kubricks 2001 From the stage of Lon dons National Theatre he picked 22yearold Jenny litter to play opposite chaelYork We want to have film that will be understood every where David said of his 23rd century epic It is not film couched in the American vernacular It is film nearer the British tradition of theatre than the American blue jeans tradition of WE WANT YOUR OPINION Letters submitted for publication must be original copies signed by the writer Please include your street ad dress and phone number although they will not be published Letters which can not be authenticated by phone cannot be published For the sake of space public interest and good taste The Examiner reserves the right to edit con dense or reject letter cinema hence British stars York 33yearold star of Cabaret Murder on the Orient Ex ress and The Three Mus eteers grinned as he described his role of police officer enforcing law against longevity DEATH COMES AT 30 Nobody is allowed to live single day beyond his 30th birthday he said David said the role required an actor who was agile and graceful and capable of handling dialogue in the English way Most American acting is colloquial steeped in realism relating to society which is fracturing itself into groups It is highly influenced by television The basic flaw in Egyptian domestic economics since 1952 has been the total destruction of the en trepreneurial class Egyptian as well as nonArab to include the former Jewish Greek and Armenian merchant com munities Perhaps half million Egyptians have abandoned their native country not over political issues but because of the dramatic failure of economic ones Nassers takeover decrees extended to the middle and smallsize businessmen of Egypt The Egyptians in Canada two numbers under request for dormant records The demand shouldnt be that geat There are only four phones in the departments Carib bean division and 12 in the United States division There are19in culturalaffairs And the protocol depart ment lthose are the people who dont like to see the wives of prime ministers singing in South America have 23 dif ferent phone numbers There are nine numbers for the departments Western European division just two more than for removal of ef fects whatever ttat is ALLOWANCE CONCERN careless reader of this di rectory would come away with the impression no doubt mistaken that em ployees of the department have an inordinate concern for foreign allowances There are 11 numbers you can dial to get information on the sub ject Its nice to know there is fulltime study group on staff accommodation within the department Its five phones are undoubtedly well used There are 12 phones available for assistance to Canadians abroad and there are seven available for any department employees who want advice on bilingualism lost count of the dozens listed under per sonnel planning and develo ment but there is certainly noshortage There is also no shortage in the information division where 56 phones are available to spread the good word about the department Ihere is no evidence they are being overused Since this was in first at tempt to catch the favor of department through telephone directory wont try to reach any conclusions But anyone else is free to con clude that the bureaucracy is doing just fine 7p tsuffers from loss of entrepreneurs for example are no fellahin no River Nile sants but from the mi dle classes fluent in French skilled in the trades and the business world They will not go back Sadat may never restore this important competitive element in Egyptian life which is part of his dilemma Internall the nation suf fers from about 30 per cent in flation public servants are about the worst aid in the Middle East public buildings and services are rundown obsolescent and inefficient The Russians have gone though leaving behind QUEENS PARK Good appointmen to Hydro board By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO The govern ment has made two very good appointments to the board of directors of Ontario Hydro Former agriculture minister Bill Stewart goes on the board to represent far mers and agriculture This remedies one of the longtime weaknesses of the Hydro top structure Farmers now are big users of electricity and it is of reat importance to them an also significant cost but they have had no direct voice at the top in Hydro Bill Stewart now will ive them that and he is an mi rable choice This is one posting of for mer minister which can be thoroughly agreed with Stewart was minister of agriculture for 14 years and there is no doubt about his complete dedication to agriculture he still has farm his intelligent un derstanding of its roblems and his ability to orcefully present its case Perhaps even more inter esting and needed was the appointment of Robert Schmon to the board Major industry actually consumes onethird of the power used in Ontario yet hard as it may be to believe it has had no voice on the Hydro board CANADAS STORY Railway woes plagued BC By BOB BOWMAN When British Columbia joined Canada in 1871 it was promised that tran scontinental railway would be built within 10 years Then there was scandal about the choice of the company to build the railway and Sir John Macdonalds govern ment had to resign Canadas first Liberal government with Alexander Mackenzie as prime minister came into power and was not enthusiastic about building the railway especially as there was an economic depression It was not until 1880 when Macdonald was back in power that it was possible to get private enter rise to build the railway ai ed by huge grants of money and land Even so good deal of sur veying had been done since 1871 to find route throgh the Rockies One plan was to BIBLE THOUGHT But if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin John Without the blood the bad is finished and without fait in the cleansing and forgiving power of Christs blood we can never be free from our sins and ready for Heaven billions of dollars worth of their most sophisticated military equipment and demande on Sadat to keep Erna on the estimated $7 ion he owes them for the3 milita equipment as wel as for economic assistance Sadats inheritance is desperate one An added component to the tragedy is that he is an impressive leader and responsible tresident whose time should have come when Nasser was mismanaging Eg pt and trying to make her ideolo gical centre of Islam It is true that the chairman RB Taylor is former Stelco man but as chairman he cant look after any one interest and then again in his business career he was financial man and not on the operations side which has the real involvement with power For the last year or so in dustrial users have had their own association AMPCO the association of major wer users in Ontario and it has time good job It rhaps has been the best brie ed and organized up dealing with the various oar ds and committees that have been concerned with Hydro affairs It may perhaps have been responsible for making the government realize that the Hydro board could not in any way be representative if it did not have spokesman for its major users And as with Stewart in Bob Schmon the major users should have fine represen tation President of the Ontario Paper Co Schmon is known as one of the outstanding in dustrialists in the province He is particularly respec ted for his balance and progressive approach and the government was fortunate in being able to attract man of his calibre to what must often be the irksome duties of Hydro director have the Pacific terminal as far north as Port Sim pson north of Prince Rupert In 1878 there was danger of war between Britain and Russia and Russian naval squadron paid visit to San Francisco This alarmed Canada and it was decided that the railway should not go sofar north Another proposition was to get the railway to the coast at Seymour narrows and then build bridges to Vancouver Island Esquimalt was sup posed to be the Pacific coast terminal So the islanders were greatly disappointed in 1880 when it was announced that the Fraser River route had been chosen and that Port Moody near Vancouver would be the terminal Work on the Pacific coast section began at Yale on May 14 and was heralded by symbolic blast of dynamite which brought down some rain The work on the Pacific coast section was in the charge of youn American engineer An rew On derdonk who was backed by US financial interests His job was to build the railway as far as Savona through 150 miles of rugged territory The west and east sections actually met at Craigellechie 80 not far from Savona in November 1885 and the CPR was completed THE PICK
