have decided to be generous to those who dont or cant fit into the working mainstream of our IIIIIIIwaetliieflposialia will soon be back to normal again Interpreting the news PromOtion for McCague By DEREK NELSON society Recently Canadians have been taking closer look at that generosity The Association of Municipalities of Ontario is the latest group to examine the welfare structure In many ways the Association is also the most important group as it represents the level of government closest to the people The Association wants those on welfare to be given the right to work if they wish to work The startling thing is the surprising news that municipalities cant allow those on welfare wanting work to work on municipal projects All welfare and social services should give the best assistance possible to those needing help and do everything possible for people receiving assistance to stop receiving it and take full and active part in socie ty The Association suggestion supported by the city of Barrie is not backward step It is an attempt to make welfare better thing for those getting it and for those giving it tion letters to the editor The government of Ontario should heed the suggcs Upset by Criticism in editorial DcarSlr am very upset at the criticism made against Mrs Monkman in thc editorial of Aug 17 The statements are harsh and un justified Mrs Monkman has been highly respected wellknown community active lady for 34 years in Cookstown Knowing Mrs Monkman per sonally feel no one betterqualificd could get involved in matter of this Nature and importance without not knowing the facts You are accusing Mrs Monkmon of not having attended any of thc meetings by the school board bet ween parean and teacher too have not attended any such meetings because had never heard of any such meetings being held How well were they advertised If they were advertised at all Docs it matter if we attended the meetings or not What we are concerned aftcr all is what is going on in the classroom and not what parents are told at meetings In fact had never even heard of Human Relations being taught in our schools until my own son took the course last year am very firm supporter of the petition with which personally can vassed in Adjala Township dare say that 95 per cent of the pe0ple have interviewed havc never heard of Human Relations have studied the matter closer because of very embarassing situa tions occuring in the ClflSSlOOlll The course content has very heavy stress on sex and very ex plicit at times wholeheartedly agree with Mrs Monkman that the course is hardly in accordance with the moral guiding all of us The coursc is redundant unv necessary and expensive frill also zlgrcc that the course will lead to the breakdown of thc parentchild relationship ur children orc ulrczidy too cx poscd to sex and zirc preoccupied with it Is it rczilly helping our children to go to school to learn all about masturbation how not to gct prcg nant the

you havc many sup porters Mrs Lydia Brinkmziii Loriill Pleads with mayor for fields MAYOR ROSS ARCHER CITY OF BARRIE BARRIE ONT Your Honor submit to you this letter as plea from the youth of the City of Barrie The youth that are so very much in need of recreation fa cilities that we do not have The Barrie Minor Baseball Association during the summer of 78 have over 500 registered players We have total of 33 teams of which six are Represerr tative Teams made up of boys age ed from nine to 16 These rep teams in addition to playing their regular schedule in the York Simcoc Baseball Associa tion have taken part in tour naments in manycentres such as Niagara Falls Scarborough Osh awa Walkerton Peterborough CNE etc We are unable to find adequate playing facilities and in fact some of our rep teams have been forced to play number of their home games out of town This is fact we find hard to swallow especially so when we are advised that two out of town fastball adult teams have been forced by their league to play their home games in Queens Park this dcspilc thc loci that their own municipality how provided thcrn with cxccptionzll playing facilities Barrie Minor Baseball needs it park for the 1979 season park that will be suitable for players agr ed ninc to 13 and available on full timc basis Wc liuvc used thc Poinswick Park in lnnisfil two nights week this season but we have no assurance we will bc able to do so again next season even so we would not have adequate fa cilities Please do not tell me that we are in period of restraint the facilities that we require are not hiin cost items We can afford them and we need them now We cannot wait until 1983 to do so is to deny generation of our children recreation facility that they want and should have it is to deny them summer pasttime that promotes their health and pro vides them with companionship and challenge Mr Mayor on behalf of over 500 kids and their parents ask you to help us Yours truly Larry OBrien President

SWEET DREAMS On top of all that theres good chance that some of the rizcs announced with such fanfare at each raw wont have to be paid out cither because the winning number was never sold or because the holders of some winning tickets may never come forward having died or left the country for exam Ie In clause of our new national pastime it could be argued that the money spent on lotteries provides the holder with an in tangible but valuable benefit the basis for pleasant dream of wealth and some days or weeks of sweet suspense It can also be argued with some truth that government lotteries help to keep within Canada much of the Canadian gambling monc that used to go outside the coun try or example to the private corporations that runs the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes And then theres the lotteryfinanced support to cultural and recreational causes such as Wintarios $85 grant to the State Farm Basketball Team in Toronto to assist in the purchase of two genuine leather baskctballs Lotteries are Canadas big growth business of the 19705 For better or worse theyre here to stay The question is Which level of government will control the action Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO One item Bill Davis has get ten extremely ood at in his years as premier is cabinetshut ling His latest series of changes illustrates that once again He moved two ministers who have been feeling flak from the media and other critics but did it in such way neither man should feel let down George McCague DuffennSimcoe was shifted out of environment where eve body from the political opposition to Idiverse coalition of environmentalist groups has called for his resignation As minister hed made séveral decisions that modified past ministry directives for ex ample to International Nickel and the Reed Paper Co that were intended to force those companies to clean up their act He also did it in such blase way in the lil co case delegating authority to middle management ministry official in Sudbury that he looked like he was ducking criticism PROMOTION But nobody every questioned McCagues administrative competence and Daviss giv ing him chairmanship of management board is almost an inspired move Contrary to some press reports it is not demotion Although it has little public visibility chairman of management board is one of the three top jobs in the provincial govemment Its where decisions are made on what out tax dollars are spent on The other minister whos been having severe publicity problems is Reuben Baetz Ottawa West in the energy portfolio Its minor ministry and could well be abolished which is in essence what Davis has done by giving both energy and natural resources to veteran cabinet minister Jim Aulds Leeds SIDEWAYS Baetz will go to culture and recreation another minor post in what is in effect sideways shift to ministry more suited to man whos been involved with social services rather than technology most of his life If he doesnt perform there hell likely be dumped in the next shuffle With those two moves Davis took care of his publicly perceived two major trouble spots His other shifts are equally interesting however lom Wells Scarboro North going to in tergovernmental affairs seems to be pan of the ongoing grooming of thc man 40 be Daviss eventual successor OTHERS Dr Bette Stephenson TorontoYork Mills was going stale in the labor ministry and now gets shot breathing life into her own performance and into selfsatisfied educa tion portfolio vacated by Wells She also icks up colleges and universities which pro bly should never have been separated from education in the first place Dr Harry Parrott Oxford secures ma jor promotion by going to environment but whether or not hell prove capable of handling its publicrelations aspect is still an open question Like McCague he has administrative talent and like McCague he doesnt suffer fools gladly which isnt necessarily wor thwhile attribute in the environmentalist world The new cabinet face is Dr Robert Elgic York East in labor He performed well as chainnan of the select committee on health care costs Cbnados story Children auCtioned By BOB BOWMAN Slavery in Canada ended officially in 1834 when Britain abolished slaveryI in the colonies However by that time ere were only about 50 slaves left in Canada because the abolition movement had begun in 1793 when Upper Canada prohibited the import of slaves The legislation permitted pea le to retain the slaves they already had but ir children would be free when they became 25 years of age The antislavery movement soon spread through the other Britis North Arnerican colonies and legislation as not necessary because courts of law refused to recognize the rights of masters overt slaves The last slave sold pu cally fin Montreal was Emmanuel Allen for 36 pounds on Aug 51797 Some parts of New Bninswick had system that was perhaps worse than slavery and it continued for many years Rather than provide houses for destitute people some countries auctioned them to citizens who would look after them The indigents went to the lowest bidders There were examples of small children usually orphans who were ut up for auction bid of $20 year might the lowest This meant that the bidder Id look after the children for one year andr eeiveszpfmnthe county These children and other indigents man of them ill or cruelly handicapped would taibe treated like slaves or worse They had to work hard for their keep and some of them died of malnutrition and exposure The cruel system ended
