children have been says bitten by dogs since last summer he More is getting lot of flak but he claims it is worth it It is not the dogs who are to blame but their owners And this is what it boils down to People take on responsibility when they obtain dog and part of that responsibility under the law is not to allow it to run loose Don More found an answer He got lot of people upset It costs money to bail dog out of the with the societys shelter But he did service for his com munity and for the rest of us And hes right Fear of coffee shortage If TERRY KIRKPATRICK The ssociated Press The coffee surplus of yester day is gone There is enough to meet current demand biit not enough to quiet the fear of short tage totiioirow That is why coffee prices in North iiierican grocery stores have more than doubled during the last months The well piiblicied frost of July 1075 in Brazil the largest grower reduced the world cot tee surplus to the point where atiotlier stich disruption might cause an absolute shortage As result producing counr tries taking advantage of the possibility ot shortage raised their prices sharpb And many North American coffee com panies willing to pay the higher prices and immediately passing them along made qtiick killing on the coffee they laci ab sorbed some of the rising price The 1075 frost cut production sharply in Brazil but left enough green coffee beans on trees and in stockpiles to meet demand Since the frost their price has more than tripled to $230 pound from about 60 con ts In the current marketing year the foreign agricultural service of the US Department of Agriculture estimates there will be 455 million bags more than six billion poutids avail able for export NEEDSI MILLION World demand is expected to be about 50 million bags The difference can be made tip from Brazils stockpile of about 25 million bags late last year By dipping into the stockpile Brazil actually exported more coffee in 1070 than in 1975 156 million bags last year coin pared with 146 million year earlier Brazil and other producing countries needing as much taybe it would be cheaper II we just brewed money and frost doubled price money for the coffee as possible to buy oil tried for years to raise prices by withholding cof fee rotn the market In September 1074 18 producers accounting for more than 80 per cent of world ex ports formally agreed to withhold about 16 million bags But nothing worked There was too much coffee available By February 1975 the price of coffee actually had declined 20 per cent from 1974 Then na ture stepped in On July 17 1975 freezing wind brought frost to Brazils major coffeeproducing states The Brazilians say the crop was cut to between five and ti mil lion bagsma drop of 70 to 80 per cent from the year before FROST JOLIS MARKET The frost jolted the world cof fee market but reduced supply was not the same as absolute shortage Brazil had already completed harvesting the coffee that would be sold in 1975 and also had its stockpiles of about 25 million bags to draw on during the three years needed for newlyplanted coffee trees to start bearing beans The fear of shortage took hold however Producing countries withheld their coffee from the market until they could gauge the frosts impact Brazil did not resume exports until Aug The situation was aggravated by reports that civil war in An gola would cut that countrys harvest in half and that heavy rains in Colombia would result in 10percent loss in produc tion But thus far contrary to ex pectations coffee consumption has not dropped substantially New York research firm esti mated US retail sales of regir lar coffee in 1906 at 108 billion pounds drop of only onetenth of one per cent from 1975 The value of the coffee rose 44 per cent in the same

Service No one could deny that the Royal Bank of Canada has good sound business reasons for moving the headquarters of three of its divisions from Mon treal to its enormouss new re gional centre in Toronto Inevitably however Quebecs separatists will turn it into confrontation as further proof of the enmity of bank ers in particular and business in general Every student of politics knows that the best way to unite divided population is to focus the publics hostility on an enemy that all can readily accept What better target ould there be in Quebec than those busi nesses that have invested heav ily in the province and carry on much of their daily business in the language used by the ma jority ofNorth Americans In the case of the Royal Bank the departure from Montreal of the divisions responsible for in vestments international money markets corporate marketing and development will mean the loss of about 100 jobs directlyand probably many more indirectly Other Quebec operations of multinational enterprises are being reduced for reasons that areaunlike the Royal Banks directly related to the separa tists policies JohnsManville Corp has abandoned planned $65mil lion fiveyear expansion of its asbestosmining operations Premier Rene Levesque has said that his government in tends to take over the asbestos industry Then there are shutdowns or cancellations for which the rea sons are more obscure but are being interpreted by separatists as further evidence that business has given up on Quebecs governmentan argument that is readily ac ceptable to the laidoff workers THE WORLD TODAY Soviet lose last of great designers By JOIIN HARBBON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Those geniuses of our tech nological era who have de signed our great commercial aircraft and war planes fasci nate me not the least among them the truly great aircraft designers of the Soviet Union From men like Mikoyan llu shin Antonov and Yakovlev came the host of propeller air craft which helped tum the German tide in Russia during the Second World War filled the squadrons of the postwar Soviet air force supplied Soviet commercial aviation with such aircraft as the 1186 airbus and the Tum the worlds largest jet passenger aircraft With the death at 82 in Mos cow of Sergei Ilyushin this team of magnificent designers and builders are all gone Mikoyan the brother of the late supersalesman of Soviet foreign trade Anastas ikoyan who died in 1970 designed the world famous MiG jet as we call it in the West The West received their in troduction to his skills when the MiG15 fought against the American Sabre R86 during the Korean war of 195031 BEIIINI TIIE MiG The Mir25 supersonic jet fighter the latest in the line was itot designed by Mikoyan himself Its secrets were re vealed to the Americans when one of them was flown to Japanese air base last fall by detecting Soviet air force jet fighter pilot Also gone are Andrei lupolev who concentrated on intercontinental jet passenger and cargo aircraft and Oleg Antonov whose Ali22 cargo plane is one of the finest of its kind in the world of jet air tran sport These famous men who were the crcme de la creme of the After the provincial minister of industry and commerce Rodrigue Tremblay spoke to executives of many major national and international businesses at Montreal seminar the other day his audience pressed him to give specific answers to such questions as how they could plan for their future in Quebec Mr Tremblay however branded his questioners as ignorant and lacking in political sophistication after theseminarhadended ANTIBUSINESS Theres probably some truth in his charge Most people who are working hard in nonpoliti cal careers dont have the op portunity to become sophis ticated about politics The reverse is also true The politicians in Rene Levesques PQ cabinet are almost entirely devoid of experience in busi ness few have had senior admin istrative posts in the Quebec and federal bureaucracies sev eral have come from academic careers and still others from the media from medicine and from theology Most of them would automatically view business with hostilitya dragon to be captured and caged if not ac tually slain It would be tragic if the Que bec government became so blinded by dogma and power that it made bigscale business operations impossible As Bell Canada chairman Jean de Grandpre said recen tly it would be impossible for company that has operations outside Quebec to keep its head office in that province if it were unable to work in English there lack of realism in lan guage policy affecting head of fices would result in the loss of thousands of the highestpaid jobs in Montreal Mr de Gran dpre said and that would have repercussions on hundreds of thousands of otherjobs Soviet elite perhaps even more than Bolshoi ballet dancers or astronauts were in many cases poor mens sons And in this sense the oppor tunities given to them by the Bolshevik Revolution and its in stitutions made them true products of the Soviet Commu nist system Under Czarism Ilyushin hanger sweeper and mechanic in the Imperial Russian Air Force might have risen no fur ther Indeed the Soviet hierarchy of scientists great academics artists army generals and astronauts has been filled with the sons and daughters of the peasantry human talent which the former imperial system would never have recognized Ilyushin joined the Red Army in 1918 was assigned to aircraft repair workshops because of his natural technical talent and then to the Zhukovsky Air For ce Engineering academy in the mid1920s In 1917 Ilyushin also teamed to fly Russians who can re member the Second World War or who are veterans of the So viet armed forces must be re calling his famous
