to continue to Now cross its QUEENS PARK Maritimes major factor in Ontarios prosperity By DON uIIRARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Traditionally the Maritime provinces have held st dislike for Ontario audits The isli eddies back in his tory to the final days of the last century This was the period when tariffs were imposed to protect Ontario industry While the tariffs were build ing industry here which they did they dealt knockout blow to the Maritimes When tariffs were first im posed the Canadian eastern seaboard had thriving com plex of small industr But its natural tra flow was to the south And when the United States im mat ching barriers to our tariffs this market was lost and the Maritimes manufacturing in dustry withered away This started the bad feeling and it has developed steadily in the years since as the Mari times have grown to be prime market of Ontario manufac turers and ntmsurs Mint of he consumer goods bought in the Maritlmro now come from Ontario And in re cent years the resentment this inevitably bred has been vated by position taken ncc the Second World War by our politicians that the prosperity of the rest of Canada depends on the prosperity of Ontario Wise Maritimers know that the reverse is true For their section of the country is prob ably Ontarios biggest cus tomer while this province in turn does the biggest share of its buying from the US In other words Ontarios prosperity depends largely on he prosperity of the rest of Canada and particularly the Maritimes TRADE MISSION In light of this it must have been particularly grilling few weeks ago when an ntario trade mission set up shop in Halifax The ministry of industry and tourism has established do mestic trade branch and on THE OLYMPICS plan for now building Shes ri hi tho city has to do is fiii crs and hope the iuthcr low bid nccoplod this its first venture it took group of Ontario manufac turers down east to see what more they might be able to sell to the Mnritimes Just what Mnritimes antlprr thy to our province means in practical terms cant be as sessed But if we are at all serious about national unity or even if we have elementary considera tion for the mutual family of provinces which make up the nation then it is significant In the longterm interest of the countryand the provin ce would it not make more sense if we sent purchasing missions instead of sales missions to see what we mi ht be able to buy from Maritimes Even from the crass view point of downtoearth politics it is wonder this hasnt oc curred to our politicians before now For there must be half million former Maritimers in Ontario and they are notable for clannishness rind fondness for their birthplace Water polo team better than the Munich version By THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada isnt looking for medal at the 12country water ail competition in the Mon Olympics but officials are convinced the team is definite im rovement over the one that loo all its games in Munich in im And they see chance of finishing in the top eight The team has improved con siderably says Ivan Somlai former Calgarian who is man tiger and assistant coach of the national team In recent tour of Europe we played on very even basis wit countries at ranked from fourth to eighth in the previous Olympics But dont eel we have any chance for medal because the top three or four countries are far superior to the rest Somlai is rticularly proud of the fact at the Canadians scored 43 victory over West Germany which was fourth in Munich and fifth in the 1975 world championships He puts the SOviet Union 1972 goldmedal winner Hungary which won the silver and Yugo slavia in class by themselves But he says Canada compares 53hr Barrie Examinrr to Bnyfield Street

NOT ENTERED However the Americans who lit pair of games with Cana in March will not be re resented in Olympic water poothis year While Canada is far from being power in this sport it has received more in ternational experience this year than in the past and has earned the respect of the Europeans The team has weaknesses though We dont have enough rou tine or enough international ex perience The other teams are sli htly better conditioned to fig thard through four periods We tend to get bit tired in the last period Somlai sees some hope for the future providing the national team continues to receive financial support Ile estimates there are 5000 Canadians par ticipating in the sport We have an excellent feeder system now including sports school that is unique in North America and junior team that will eventually supply players for our national team FACILITIES EXCELLENT The team has been training at Laval University in Quebec City since last September and the Quebec Water Polo Federation has picked up the tab for pool costs We have excellent water polo facilities in Canada says Somlni but after the Olym pics dont know what will We Team members will go back to their individual clubs across the country and may have trouble getting enough pool time to hold valuable prac tices Testimony on insurance to be heard next week TORONTO CP select committee of the

News Service hadnt intended to say any thing about Michael Pitfield re ceivin that $1000 Ontario irst home uyers rant but since he is under suc consistent crit icism think its time someone came to his defence Perhaps its because hate writing letters myself but have always had this great em athy for dentists with bad eeth carpenters with rotten verandnhs and plumbers with lenky faucets In fact wont go to doctor until am as sured he is heavy smoker And now that have found lawyer who apparently doesnt read the fine print on contracts feel much better YOUR BUSINESS Coal wont solve crisis says CanadaUS study By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Until the energy crisis of re cent years coal was widely re garded as fuel of diminishing impOrtance Suddenly it became one of the maor fuels of the future One of anadas biggest energy suppliers for instanceShel Canada Ltdwent heavily into the acquisition of coal deposits to diversify its rawmaterial re serves new study of the role of coal howver has cast doubt on its value as solution to North Americas growing shortage of petroleumbased energy The study Coal and Canada US Energy Relations has just been published by the Cana dianAmerican Committee private groupsponsored by the Howe esearch Institute in Montreal and the National Planning Association in Wash ington Much of the popular en thusiasm for coal as great po tential source of energy rests on very poor information on the quantity and economic viability of coal throughout North Amer ica says the author Richard Gordon Prof Gordon is mineral economist at the Perms lvania State Universitys Col ego of Earth and Mineral Science He doubts that known low cost coal supplies in either Can ads or the United States are big enough to contribute measur ably to future energy require ments LINES 0F SUPPLY Most observers consider the resources in Nova Scotia too ex pensive to be promising large scale energy source the au thor says Accordingly the greatest interest lies in the coal deposits Oil is taking Ecuador out of the banana age By HENRY ACKERMAN QUITO Ecuador AP The steady throb of oil pumps work ing in the jungles is pushing this Andean country ahead even while some critics are say ing that oil is more curse than blessing Thats private industry out there says western diplomat from embassy offices overlooking Quitos moder nizing city centre tucked at the base of 15700foot Mount Pichincha Those cars out there are pri vatel owned Ecuador is build ing ms refinery roads Theyre doing this Theyre doing that This country is do vel ing of Ecuadorian and for eign businessmen bankers and even some government officials and wrng middle class are beginning to agree despite con tinuing strikes and sporadic violence Oil is taking Ecuador rapidly away from the days when ba nanas and cocoa were kings The diplomat added It takes money The government finned its budget on 210000 day not the 100000 barrels now being reduced It made mistake cinder bu hndto tightenits belt programs rims the Owl could install computers and make it all worklike in the United States Thats the point Were not in the States An Ecuadorian banker said Were learning to live with the new money With oil per spectives here are entirely dif ferent Exports are close to billion dollars Thats four times what we exported before Ecuador has about 13 billion barrels of proven reserves in its eastern Amazonbasin jungles At the present rate of pumping it will export oil only until 1998 unless new reserves are found The country consumes 42000 barrels of oil day increasing at the rate of 10 per cent yearly and in 1975 pumped 52 million barrels throu the 317mile pipeline built the US con sortium of TexacoGulf Since the pipeline began oper ating in August 1972 revenue to Ecuador has risen above 511 billion For many oil brought imme diate pros ty For many oth ers inc uding about four million illeducated and rural Indians the prospect of new riches has been largely un fulfilled cream city pro gucfition actually went Jone Zeln who has the day and doubles as man in hotel at night Prices went up and people couldnt afford to eat He added Im selling chick ens for double what got year ago Almost overnight the door man was able to buy car Mr Pitfield is no ordinary lawyer either At the age of 39 he is Queens Counsel And as Clerk of the Privy Council he is the most influential public scr vanl in Ottawa He effectively runs the office of the prime minister he is secretary to the cabinet he wields enormous power in the bureaucracy and it is only question of time un til he is named the public ser of western provinces which are far from the major markets for coal in Central Canada The economics of tran sporting Western Canadian coal to these large markets remains unfavorable despite so histicated efforts to find so utione such as the joint Shell IanadaCanadian Pacific Railway Companys un successful research into the possibility of coal pipeline As an alternative Canada has developed substantial market in Japan for our cokin coal while the needs of Centra Canada are met by im rting US steam coal to fuel ntario Hydros generators Thats the kind of situation that drives radical economic nationalists into frenzy of de termination to tid things and make Cana selfsu ficient In the case of coal however even the nationalists might not be able to prevail against the laws of nature and of econom ms The anticipated opening of major new mines in the western part of the United States should reduce any supply pressures in the eastern US producing regions thus assuring Canadian consumers continued access to US supplies Prof Gordon belives SOURCE ASSLREI conclude that only com plete breakdown of bilateral energy relations would precipi tate US action to deny coal supplies to Canada the author says breakdown in USCana dian energy relations rs too catastrophic an event or ei ther government to permit its happening Prof Gordon is somewhat less confident however that new coal supplies will be devellt opedat least without signifi cant delays Mine health and safety laws in the US for example have reduced output and jeopardized coals competitive cost position Restrictions on strip mining make it uncertain that new de posits of coal in the Western United States will go into pro duction Other environmental stand ards culnrly those restric ting emission of sul or also stand in the way any substantial shift toward greater coal production and consumption But Prof Gardon concludes while no one can say for cer tain that Canada can rely in definitely on US coal its hi hly improbable that exports wi be cutoff solely for reasons of tight US domestic supply conditions varit of the He comes from wealthy Montreal back ground his family was in the investment business and he is close personal friend of Prime Minister Trudeau He has it made so to speak your BOUGHT HOUSE Last year Mr Pitfield de cldcd to buy house in Ot tawas exclusive Rockcliffe Park Village The price was $180000 He managed to raise an inter estfree mortgage of $110682 from his fathers estate and naturally he hired lawyer to arran all those stick lit tle detai He said he idnt read all the papers he signed this is the nice part of the story and one of them turned out to be an applied tion for that 81000 Ontario grant available to firsttime househuyers The grant was intended to help young couples acquire their first Ome The trouble was Mr Pitfield had owned home in Ottawa back in 1965 and when provincial auditors discovered this the Ontario government demanded its money back Mr Pitfield paid pile later explained and am sure he was embarrassed doing sothat he acted in good faith and on legal advice It was his understanding that the grant was made to people who owned home in the distant past Mr Pitfield didnt disclose the name of his lawyer but am wondering whether he should perhaps consider getting another one The grant appliv cation pre red by his lawyer and sign by this Queens Counsel certified that neither nor in spouse has pre viously an owner of Housing Unit anywhere Not being lawyer shouldnt speculate on what this means but am left with the distinct impression that previous home owners are not eligible for the rant However since it slip past two law yers it cant be as simple as that But its obviously risky business It seems 23 people have been charged with making false applications for grants and some have been lined up to $2000 HONEST MISTAKE However provincial spokesman has said that Mr Pitfield made an honest mistake And it was good to see Mr Trudeau come to the defence of his top public ser vant when he told the Commons that Mr Pitfield acted in good faith You cant beat good faith There are those who criticize the Clerk of the Privy Council for even considering 81000 grant when he was abletoraise $110682 without interest while earning salary of more than $80000ayear But perhaps these are being unfair How are to know whether Mr Pitfield wu banking on getting 8111682 from his fathers estate instead of $110682 know that terrible sinking what you are suddenlyca t810005hort Anyway this is beside the int What im me is the act that one rilliant lawyer can hire another lawyer seal $130000 deal without gettin hung up on the fine print emer with only one honest mis used to worry for weeks when against the advice of lawyer would sign an ap plication for garage improve ment loan without reading all thoselittle words Yes feel much better now THEWQRLD TIDDAX
