Ellie Earth Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited l6 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherGeneral Manager Walls Editor Emeritus Henshaw Managing Editor The Barrie Examiner Tuesday November 30 I976 Canadas government beyond public control Well Well The government is considering ways to impose more direct control over governmentowned companies Thats what the PM said as the government reeled under allega tions that Polymer Corp and Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd may hve been involved in bribes and payoffs Shades of Lockheed Already AuditorGeneral Macdonell has told us the govern ment is close to losing control over its $40 billion annual spending And now Trudeau mumbles some thing about the government con sidering ways for more direct con trol What kind of control would the government indeed have if it turned the mandarins losse on its own companies If we are to believe the auditor general there is precious little con trol in any case The problems of the Liberal government in dealing with our money are welldocumented One thing the opposition keyed on last week was whether the govern ment made sufficient effort to get to the bettom of the case involving Polymer since taken over by the Canada Development Corp and re named Polysar Ltd Mr Trudeau told the Commons he was advised of the issue in March 1973 letter from former auditor general Maxwell Henderson and passed it on to Charles Drury who was at the time president of the treasury board He was unable to assure the House on Friday the matter had been resolved The allegations of wrongdoing in the handling of public money are serious We wonder if the majority of Canadians would feel government that has almost lost control of the public purse and appears willing to slough off bribery and payoffs is fit to govern DOWN MEMORY LANE It YEARS AGO IN TOWN The Barrie Examiner Nov 30 1966 Royal Victoria Hospital nurses are trying to raise money that will enable Chinese girl to

Inter national Womens Year in 1975 says Womens groups should drop their persecution of banks and concentrate on trust companies and other major Ca nadian corporations Mrs Appel whose mandate from Marc Lalonde federal minister of health and welfare was to persuade corporations to promote women said the recent controversy generated by statements made by Earle McLaughlin president of the Royal Bank of Canada is being flogged by many leaders of the womens movement Mr McLaughlin whose board is entirely made up of men said that despite cross anada search the bank has been unsuccessful in locating woman in the right geographi cal area and with an acceptable mix of business and manage ment expertise to serve as di rector However the bank recently announced it had woman in mind and she would be named shortly am very grateful that Earle McLaughlin said what he did said Mrs Appel in an in tcrview Thats one mans point of view What many people dont realize is that the Royal Bank has one of the most advanced training programs in management for women gANAlfAS STORX Cloak and dagger in peace talks By BOB BOWMAN Britain and the United States agreed on peace terms Nov30 1782 to end the American Revo lutionary War but because of communications the fighting continued into 1783 If there had been faster com munication the war might have ended soon after October 1781 when the British army was defeated at Yorktown It was clear then that American independence had been won Negotiations to end the war began in Paris in the spring of 1782 The Americans double crossed their allies France and Spain by making separate peace agreement with Britain This was because the US be gan to suspect that France and Spain had plans of their own for North America British cruiser had cap tured French ship on the At lantic and the mail included letter from the French am bassador at Philadelphia to his minister in Paris It included contemptuous reference to US claims to fishing rights in Mrs Appel said that con trary to public thinking the banks have really responded to the general theme of assist ing women up the corporate ladder She said that where women are really unrepresented in middle and upper management is in those companies that deal with products and services that women are really into Women are responsible for about 90 per cent of the con sumer decisions in this country About the only area they arent acquainted with is that dealing with the military such as the production of nuclear weap ons Since her appointment last year Mrs Appel whose hus band Bram Appel is well known Montreal financier has negotiated with leaders of in dustry and commerce across the boardrooms and executive suites of the country In that time she has man aged to cajole eight of them in to serving on special advisory board for Mr Lalonde who is the federal minister re sponsible for the status of women ACT AS LIAISON We wanted to start kind of communications centre within each of their industries she said These men will help in terpret the problems women have in industries such as re tail oil banking insurance and communications Mrs Appels major task has been persuading presidents and Canadian waters There was great deal of cloakanddagger activity in the peaCe negotiations Charles Fox one of the most important political leaders in Britain dis covered that the British govern ment was negotiating secretly with US representatives led by Benjamin Franklin The deal included Britain turning over Canada to the US Fox was in favor of US inde pendence but was opposed to Canada being included in the treaty He blasted the secret deal and the British govern ment was forced to retain Can ada at least until the formal peace treaty had been nego tiated Franklin made another strong pitch to get Canada later He said that the Americans still loved the old sod and once the war ended they would resume prosperous trade with each other Why risk future friction by leaving British territory on the US border It would be better if Canada were part of the US vieepreSidents in major in dustries employing women to provide equal opportunities to their employees She also spends great deal of time travelling between Montreal Toronto and Ottawa speaking to service clubs and addressing luncheons It is here that she reaches the real pussy catsthe mid executive males whose wives stay home or spend their spare hours in volunteer work At recent luncheon one of them suggested that Mrs Appel was encouraging the degeneration of the family and womens spiritual personality by her radical suggestions But Ive found more women interested in managing home than pursuing career she said OFFER NEW DIMENSION Im simply looking for reasonable middle road and male recognition that women when considered for places in upper management or on boar ds can bring new dimension tothetask For instance know could bring humanities con sumerism the environmental issues and could speak for the kids of today Mrs Appel disputes the view of some feminists that women in the past have been dis advantaged group Weve never been dis advantaged she said emphat ically Weve been parasites not special group but were simply not equal She criticized organized labor for not protecting women They tend to use women in unions outrageously think When was the last time you heard of labor including the need for daycare centre or child assistance in union management contract Mrs Appel said that women are being knocked off in the employment force It has to do with the lasthired bit or at least that is how employers get around it She concluded that the most heartening part of her $la ear job with Mr Lalonde has been that men are taking the prob lem seriously And Ill admit Im an elitist Right now it is getting women into the work force and letting them grow at their own rate that is of prime importance main TOUGI If man vow vow unto the Lord or swear an oath to bind his soul with bond he shall not break his word he shall do according to all that proceedethl out of his mouth Numbers 302 So many of us have said things that we didnt mean and yet have meant lot of things we said but never followed through The Lord will surely keep His promises to us and we should not take lightly the com mitments we make to Him
