The filtrate Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherGeneral Manager Walls Editor Emeritus 4The Barrie Examiner DIM Henshaw Managing Editor Tuesday Nov I976 Council does it again on the annexation issue City council continues to endear itself to adjacent townships The latest incident is the bolt from tfie blue on Friday when Barrie announced it no longer wants to an nex land from Oro township The reason Proctor and Itedfern Barries an nexation consultants advised that Barrie no longer needs the full 20000 acres Thats the same firm that spent months and thousands of dollars on an annexation study that said Bar rie needs land including Oros Council at secret meeting decided it could do without 2100 acres from Oro It could be argued that council did the most expedient thing in dropp ing its aspirations in Oro instead of shaving off bit here and bit there But why did it have to come to this in the first place Why did council de discover it could populate the larger Barrie with density of 20 per acre instead of the original 15 We are sure the taxpayers of Oro Barrie and the rest of the mu nicipalities developers and land owuers involved are not pleased at the dollars the citys changing its mind will cost We are told there was no deal in volving Oro although an airport in trade for no annexation comes to mind Is the Oro bombshell part of strategy to get all the land re quested in Vespra and Innisfil source on council told The Ex aminer Friday there had been some previous inklings about the matter way The deeper the city gets into the annexation hearing the more it looks like full and complete disclosure of its aspirations in meetings with the tOWnships in volved would have been the best What will

from the time of the battle of the Plains ofAbraham in 1759 The Anglican cathedral at Quebec is one of the most Iris toric buildings in the British Commonwealth It was built in 1804 and was the first British cathedral outside the British Isles It is replica of St Mar tins in the Fields in London and its pews have doors and locks rarely seen in North America There is royal pew set apart in the gallery and it is called ministers or simply councillors with resrmnsibility for education or whatever The same type of situation exists in the Northwest Terri tories but no one has made real issueof it there Mr Taylor has made another move to give the Yukon legisla tive body more provincial look He has aska the news media to form legislative press gallery first in the Nor lit Mr Sengcr the

Prompted at least partly by the Saskatchewan governments plans to take over large sec tions of the potash industry in that province major Ameri can company has stepped up its exploration and development efforts in New Brunswick But its heightened interest here may be shortlived says Peter Jack vicepresident of Canadian operations for the Po tash of America PAt if its American owners find it dif ficult to differentiate between the politics of Saskatchewan and New Brunswick For foreign investors un familiar with this country and the differing approaches of its governments he says what happens in one province in Canada affects the investment climate all over Canada Both IA and second Americanowned company IMf tfanadai Ltd are ex ploring areas near Sussex about 70 miles east of here un der agreements with the provincial government hances for it major develop ment in the early 1980s look fairly good says Natural Itc sources Minister Holand Boudrcau and the potential for the province is considerable WOIIJEMPLOYXMI If both companies go ahead the mines and plants may well cost hundredsof millionsofdol lars and employ about 800 pmple directly Another 2000 might be employed indirectly Atlantic regioi farmers would benefit because potash key ingredient of fertilizer would be cheaper once high transportation costs are removed The reasons for the two 0111 paiiies ltlltleSl are substan tially the samc proven potash reserves and location within so miles of the port of Saint John large plus when com pared with the riiorc than 1000 miles Saskatchewan potash has to travel toch aboard ship But while they agree on these things they appear to differ on how fast they will move and how problems in Saskatchewan will affect their efforts here PCA is Working ahead of schedule although IM has spent more money than it thought would be necessary In interviews with spokesmen for both companies only PA indicated that there might be problems convincing American investors LOCATION CONVENIENT Mervyn Upham chairman of the board of IM Canada Ltd said his company would have moved into New Bruns wick regardless of the situation in Saskatchewan So would PA which started its work here three years before the Sas katchcwan government an nounced its intention to nation alize part of the potash industry last fall New Brunswick said Mr Jack is the logical place from which to serve the major mar kct of the eastern seaboard of thelniterlStatcs But he said there is no ques tion the events in the West have had some influence in speed ing up PAs work here Moreovr there was no doubt that the final decision on the project would be influenced by recent moves by governments in Saskatchewan and other provinces and even the federal government Pressures on the IA deci sion he said come from two die rccfions On one hand there is relatively more attractive investment climate in the Mari times than in Saskatchewan at the present time All OF NIO IIS On thi other hand the deci sions by some provinces to take more taxes and royalties out of the resource iiidust rics coupled With federal move which he contcndwl taxes companies on the taxes they pay the prov inccs might push IA away from further investment The question is How do you protect yourself against the events that have happened in Saskatchewan rcpttiling in some other province in an ada ItA has all the assurances in the world from the New Brunswick government that the Now getting spliced is easier than ever By JAMES II lIlISSEY orreslmndcnt ST JOHNS Nfld TIi Getting spliced as local sea men say was never much of problem for Newfoundlanders Now its easier than ever and its cheap As of this month new Civil Marriages Act allows civil mar riages throughout the province The licence costs $10 and not more than $25 can be charged for performing the ceremony it self The act is for everyone whether Christian or not and no particular form of ceremony is required There will be licence issuer in just about every community in the province Besides clergy men those authorized to per form marriage ceremonies will include marriage commission ers the mayors of St Johns and Corner Brook and district and family court judges and ma istrates act requires that mar riage commissioner must be at least 19 years old that no mar ria be performed for anyone un or 16 unless special consid eration is given in case of mag nancy an that no one be mar ried while under the influence of alcohol or drugs MUST DECLARE LOVE No form of ceremony is pre scribed but certain statements must be included such as an avowal by both parties that they know of no lawful imped iment to the marriage and solemn declaration of love The issuers get 37 out of each $10 licence fee and it may get to be quite sideline for some commissioners Whether fewer wedding bells will be ringing from church towers remains to be seen Newfoundlandcrs have often been united outside the church but always by the clergy and most couples have preferred church weddings Clergymen of the four major churches in the provinceRo man Catholic Anglican United and Salvation Army rrrrr have dif ferent views but most say the new law is step in the right direction Justice Minister Alex Hickman said the new legislation was long overdue and has been used in other provinces for years The act was passed by the government in 1974 but was not proclaimed until recently The civil marriage ceremony will be boon for nonChris tians Previously they had to join Christian church or travel out of the province to get married There are indications that an increasing number of New foundlanders no longer think any form of marriage cere manyeither civil or chur ch is necessary for two people to live together In 1974 the number of mar riages dropped to about 4300 from 5050 the previous year and there are indications the decline was even more pro nounced in 1975 and 1976 province is good place to in vest assurances backed up by the freeenterprise nature of Premier Richard Hatfield and his Progressive Conservative cabinet But under the British parlia mentary system in which we work you do not get firm fixed contract with any govern ment in Canada You cant do it That doesnt appear to worry IMC Of all the places that we are doing exploration and develop ment said Mr Upham we have confidence that the gov ernment of New Brunswick with its dedicated objective of wanting to attract capital to the province and provide employ ment for its people will not make any drastic changes to mining taxes or royalties WONT IIIJ OlT Whatever happens there ap pears to be no question of Sas katchewans supremacy in the production of potash in anada Neither PA or IMt said their spokesmen have any intention of leaving there and the potash reserves described as mon strous by Mr Jack Although the potential here is considered to be much smaller test results are encouraging IMC said it hopes to find enough potash extract at least million tons year Mr Jack said PCA is thinking about mediumsized operation PCA has until next fall to sub mit final development plan to the government for approval IMC has until April 1978 Both said the natural resources min ister have been given assur ances the government will not nationalize their operations during the development stage Both have agreed to what Mr Boudreau described as one of the best royalty arrangements in the country 62 per cent of the average world market price for potash during the first 15 years of operation after which the arrangemnt would be re negotiated Both have also agreed to look at the possibilities of mining salt of which he said there are millions of pounds in the same area as the potash YOUR BUSINESS Recovery ahead forcar market By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Servlce Canadas automotive in ustr ap ars to be icking speedont eroad to rgcovery It had been sputtering along at slower rate partly because of United States recession and partly because so many Ontario motorists bought taxfree cars in 1975 that the market natu rally collapsed when the seven percent provincial sales tax was reimposed this year Now however demand is clearly becoming stronger and srlaveral models are in short sup The aftermath of the busi ness slump and of the energy crisis certainly still lin ers on but it seems clear that diffi culties are receding says the Montrealbased Provincial Bank of Canada in its latest economic review The fortunes of the automo tive industry have broad ef fect on the economy as whole The value added of production in the automotive sector in 1974 was nearly $24 billion That as the Provincial Bank notes is as mUch as the textile hosiery and clothing industries combined which employ 250000 workers vs100000 in automotive manufacturing VALUES UNCIIANGEI Canadian consumers do not seem to have changed their at titude towards automotive products in the last few years say the banks economists The proportion of spending related to the automobile in to tal rsonal consumption ex pen itures has not greatly var ied for 15 years and neigher has the share of personal in come allocated to the automo bile Their behavior towards the automobile does not seem to in dicate change of values that would put the brake on the growth of demand for cars and speed up the demand for other products Not only is the demand for cars remaining steady but the 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

and maintenance has risen 50 perhcent ROLE OF COMPACTS If we assume that the price of gasoline on the Canadian market will continue to move towards the international price which from now on should fol
