Firehall will start coming down this week The Supreme Court decision is total defeat for the Friends of the Fireball The FOF had two aims first to save one of Bar ries few remaining historical buildings second to give Barrie an arts and cultural centre Debate has raged for four years about the historical value of the building with the FOF and its supporters citing architectural merit and those who wished to tear the building down citing ugliness and age The FOF has lost that debate both in the Supreme Court and in the court of public opinion It appears the attempt to have an arts and cultural centre in Barrie has also failed Of the FOFs two aims the attempt to have an arts and cultural centre was by far the most important for this communitv It is odd that this community can pay nearly $500000 for park in another township without qualm and at the same time hesitate to support arts and culture The fault is not in supporting minor sports but in not giving the same support to arts and culture There is place for arts and culture in Barrie thcrc should be public money available for arts and culture The Friends of the Firehall have so far not convinc ed the residents of Barrie arts and culture should gct public support That doesnt mean the support isnt thcrc The Friends of the Fireball should be encouraged to persuade the city to use the land for an arts and cultural centre That land should not be allowed to stand vacant or used for parking lot It should be used for the benefit of this city as an arts and cultural centre letters to the editor Cartoon slurred

new but was put to Canada 10 years ago when President Scnghor and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau were newlyinstalled political leaders BEGAN to YEARS il lndccd the enthusiasm of the im rcssive Senegalese president helped spu Prime Minister Trudeau to involve Canada more deeply in the Frenchspeaking world This was in 1969 the era of euphoria about our other official culture and also the year of the Official Languages Act at home It was good time to suggest the Canadian ovcrscas prcscncc was not only in the British omnionwcalth but in thc lircnch one as well Accordingly zinada participated in host of international confcrcnces in francophonie nations on economic development relations with the European ommon Market culture and language social change But Quebec under increasingly

all tiniiimrcialindingrates will rise and make credit more expensive for the manufacturer investor and consumer President Carter also announced the US will get about $30 billion in currency ex changes and international Monetary Fund drawings to buy unwanted dollars on foreign markets thereby strengthening the dollars valuc These moves will oncc again put Canadian interest rates under pressure because of the necessity for kecping anndian rates high enough to draw foreign investment capital Ihcy raise questions about thc strength of US markets for Canadianmade products in the coming months
