Lillie Titanic Examitwr Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherGeneral Manager Walls Editor Emeritus Henshaw Managing Editor 4The Barrie Examiner Thursday October I976 Why threats tO sue definitely not news The Barrie Banner and radio station CKBB printed and broadcast recently the news that city alderman is being threatened with lawsuit by city developer The Examiner did not print that news The developer held press con ference Tuesday morning to tell everyone he was suing the alder man for damages for remarks made after meeting in July The remarks the developer claims hurt his business This is not the first time the developer has threatened to sue people We have yet to hear of the threats being carried out Other developers and politicians have threatened to sue various people in the past few months We have yet to hear of the threats being carried out We will not publish the developers news until writs are actually filed with the court We arent holding our breath waiting either We are suspicious of the developers motives in threatening lawsuit The man threatened with the suit is candidate for mayor It can be fairly said that he is often opposed to some actions of some developers in this city The threat to us is seen as an attempt to muzzle the alderman an attempt to keep the alderman quiet during the election campaign But it is still just threat threat to sue is long way from actually suing In the arsenal of weapons used in an election campaign the threat to sue is down there along with Have youstoppedbeatingyourwifeyet questions The calling of press conference to announce threat to sue is little unusual Why not file the writ and then call press conference to announce that The reaction of the other Barrie media is little disturbing Surely the Banner and CKBB are sophisticated enough to know that press conference does not always story make Surely the Banner and CKBB are aware that the developers threat to sue borders itself on being ac tionable Surely the Banner and CKBB are aware enough of the realities of life to recognize questionable show business tactics when they see them Threats to sue are not suits The Examiner will not report threats to sue by anybody If any person feels he has cause to sue then let him hire lawyer and file writ We will report that But not threats Threats mean nothing and the recent spate of threats to sue is nothing more or less than an attempt to muzzle open discussion DOWN MEMORY LANE The Barrie Examiner Oct 1961 United Appeal tills show

relations with Canada The issue was the Inter colonial Railway that would link Halifax Saint John and Quebec There was already railway service from Quebec to Montreal and Toronto It was felt that the building of the railway was the most essential part of any plan to bring about confederation Delegates from the Maritimes went to Quebec in 1862 and worked out finan cial agreement with Canada Then delegates from Canada New Brunswick and Nova Scotia went to Britain to get loan which the British reed to provide on condition at the colonies would establish sink ing fund to repay it The Cana dian delegates were Sandfield Macdonald and Sicotte who headed the government at that time They left the confer ence and went back to Canada without explaining why and the Maritimers felt that they had been sold down the river Actuall Sandfield Mac donald an Sicotte had defeated John Macdonald and Cartier by promising to cut govern ment spending and they thought the railway deal was tooexpensive The railway was not guaran teed until the British North America Act was passed in 1867 Tm BLE IHOUGHI Now the just shall live by faith but if any man draw back my soul shall have no pleasure in him

at Red River test By LEONARD NOBLE You may have noticed in the paper that roadside breath tests on drivers suspected of drinking have become legal in Ontario According to the report that read the new tests will bedone with machine about the size of lunch pail called an ALERT which is an ab breviation for something called an Alcohol Level Evaluation Roadside Tester Apparently person blows into he machine and if he has consumed certain quantity of alcohol it will make red light go on If this happens the in dividual is then taken to the lice station for the complete loodalcohol test to confirm whether or not his abilit to drive is impaired by alcoho Although think that it is good idea would really like to see machine that was little more versatile than that For example have you ever boarded crowded bus or streetcar or in fact just been in conversation with someone who had too much garlic on his breath Possibly that person has no idea at all of the nuisance that he is creating Consequently you find yourself in semicomotosc condition as result of all of that secondhand garlic smell permeating the atmosphere in close proximity to your nose Under the circumstances spch as those would think phere WE HAVE UNANIMOUSLY AGRD Planning for Saturday night Jus TH CONSTITUTION YOUR BUSINESS instead Of next generation By VINCENT EGAN Business and onsumcr Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Styles change in everything even in the ways of managing business For generations managers have managed in way de signed to achieve economic growth and to acquire income property and wealth Byproducts of that manage rial philosophy were improve ments in the general standard of living and reduction in pov erty Today the managerial ideal of Economic Man is being re placed by new ideal Social Man with radically different objectives Thats the conviction held by professor of management with 40 years experience in dealing with students and man agers John Mee of Indiana Uni FROM PARLIAMENT HILL political issue Of minor matter By STEWART MatLEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Before the last speck of dust settles from the Battle of Bow River would like to take issue with onservativc Leader Joe CAVEAT EMPTOR The breath that person should be able to call cop and say Have this man blow into the breath tester Hes contaminating the atmosphere with his garlic breath Now the individual would be required to blow into the road side garlic breathtester and if sickly green light went on he could be charged with disturb ing the peace by excessive use of garlic In similar vein there could be machine that detects foul body odors or cheap perfume ora combination of both In those cases envisage machine with vacuum cleaner attachment that simply sucks in the air around the per son who is suspected of throw ing out the offensive odors If puce colored light went on then you would know there were obvious si ns of offensive body smells If owever agur ple li ht went on it woul be the ea perfume that was causing tfie unwanted air pollu tion And if both lights came on L00k Out There is no telling to what end of advantages one could use machine such as that can just see police officer now saying OK buster lets take trip down to the station Its obvious to me that youve recently been eating Spanish onion You are hereby charged with impairing the right of others to odorfree enjoyment of the surrounding atmos Tlark for suggesting that the prws was making political issue of minor matter With all due respect to the opinions of Mr Clark would submit that when national po litical leader is challenged by one of his own backbcnchcrs who forces that leader to move to another constituency it is in deed political issue And considering the fact that there is no precedent for na tional leader being challenged for nomination in Canada am not sure this incident was all that minor either But it was great fun while it lasted And Mr Clark managed to cap it with one of the best oneliners of his career when he said apparently in all serious ness that he was backing away from Bow River to dispel the partys untrue reputation of disunity His action may accomplish many things but distilling the idea of disunity is un ely to be among them LEARNED LESSON However the 37yearold Conservative leader has no doubt learned valuable lesson and bet he will never again publicly announce he wants particular riding until he is absolutely sure he can have it Its embarrassing to lose fight to backbencher Stan Schumacher the 43 yearold Drumheller lawyer who now represents the Alberta riding of Palliser announced more than year ago that he would be seeking the nomination in the new riding of Bow River created by redistribution of the provinces ridings Drumheller is in the Bow River riding The first mistake by Mr Clark was when he let it be known publicly that he also wanted to run in Bow River which includes the town of High River where he was raised Knowing that Mr Schumacher was planning to run there and knowing that Mr Schumacher was not his biggest admirer the leader should have kept quiet until some internal agree mentwasreached versity Graduate School of Business contrasted the two up proachcs in talk to the Uni versity of Western Ontarios Business School Club My generation said that we have the opportunity to suc cecd Todays generation is saying that it wants equality of results not of opportunity Hedonism Dr Mcc sug gestcd is more popular than ever among wouldbc man But Mr lark was deter mined to be known as the man from High River In letter to Lcthbridgc newspaper he said that being identified with Iliin River was of very real impor tance to our partys chances of forming the national govern ment because of the general af finity it gives me for the smaller communities across Canada And he wrote to another newspaper to say that Yellowa head Would not be suitable for him Regrettably it is not practical option for national leader to seek to represent so widespread constituency Meanwhile Mr Schumacher was saying that dont care who speaks to me or what is said to me am running in Bow River POSSIBLE DEFEAT And reports began coming out of Bow River to suggest that if there was confrontation at nominating convention Mr Schumacher would likely win It was nowin situation for Mr Clark and having boxed himself in he had to find the easiest way out Ilalf dozen western MP5 were reoccupied with the problem al summer as they tried various tradcoffs And at one stage when things threatened to get out of hand there was distinct possibility of several angry MPs challeng ing each other in two additional new ridings So Mr Clark took the only open avenue and he announced to the Alberta caucus that he would run in Yellowhead the riding be earlier said was un suita le And he held press conference to tell the nation He tried his best to make light of the incident suggesting it was blown out of proportion because there was little other news during the summer have an interest in giving you fellows something to write about he said without con vincin many in his audience No said he was not cm barrassed having to make this announcement and he didnt think he had lost any face ON WHAT TO lfltrS We get too many people who plan for Saturday night rather than for the generation ahead He described the change onc of the major transforma IlOllS in tcslcrn civilization to more socially oriented society some would call it more humanely oriented Social Man seeks satisfac tion not from heroic individual achievements but from par ticipation in the social process Ilr Mcc wrole in an article in the TWO Business Quarterly for which he won an award for excellence by Ross and Partners The followers of Social Man guidelines prcfcr leisure and solid place in the community to satisfy desire for affiliating and belonging to social organ ization Elaboratng on that theory in his talk to the UWO Business School alumni Dr Mee pre dicted that the outcome will be an economic system he calls communitarianism replacing and combining capitalism so cialism communism and fas cism Young people are not going to take dictation from someone who may not be as competent as they are just because the other person owns something Deciding whether the older or newer concepts are right is im material he indicated The younger generation will be right because it will outlive his generation Dr Mecs advice to managers wishing to defend the present economic system is to take tip from western on the screen or on TV When young gunslingers rode into lawless town in the old west some died in shootouts and the sheriff ap pointed the survivors as his deputies DONT SHOOT When young peo lc ride into your organization ont shoot it out with them he advised Give them definite quan tifiable objectives This will be the means of developing the management lifelines of your organization If management and society are changing in the ways that Dr Mee elieveson the strength of four decades of fir sthand observationthen the fadeout wont necessarily find the good guys riding off into the sunset knowing that alls right with the world In the 40 years of Dr Mees academic career the world has seen the rise of two Communist superpowers and their coun tless satellites whose ob jective openly proclaimed is to crush the economic system that has prevailed in Western society for 200 years If succeeding generations prefer to live off the social capital built up during the last two centuries rather than ad ding to it then the system will be in danger of collapsing from within with no extra external pressure from its enemies READER FORUM The Trudeau gOVt and its shortcomings Dear Sir People in Canada under the illusion the Trudeau govem ment formed the AIB to protect the unorganized fixedincome groups and the low income ear ner must admit there is decep tion Ontario was the first to sign yet its energy board recom mends an increase in Hydro rates $25 million above the guidelines Your Hydro Mr Trudeau says he will get tough with organized labor but he cannot control the postal unions which are not the apple of the public eye The posties are fighting automation progress and ef ficiency in the post office They must give way the same as the coal firemen did on the railway The AIB has rolled back the price of starch How many people buy 20 pounds year It has never rolled back prices or profits of one millionaire corporation The government itself is wasting $12 million telling us we are paying less when we know we are paying more daily How many millions has it wasted on bilingualism One spoiled pampered child wants QUEENS PARK Albertas stand obviously absurd By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO It is some 20 years or more that have been watching Canadas political leaders try and repatriate the constitution The premiers were here at it again last weekend and as usual got practically nowhere Alberta which wants to get as much protection as possible for its natural resources in sisted that every province should have full veto right over any proposed changes And there of course the con ference broke down There were some pious words at the windup but the results were very clear There werent any ABSLRD POSITION Viewed in proper perspective the Alberta request of course is absurd What it would mean for ex ample is that Prince Edward Island which has the population of small sized Alberta city would be able to knock out anything in the way of change it didnt like And Alberta of course doesnt want that any more than anyone else And no slights intended at Prince Edward Island Its pres THE WORLD TODAY Why the generals run the ship By JOHN HABBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service By comparison with what other generals are doing around the world the 115 odd enerals in the Canadian Arm Forces are clearly underemployed and without direction In Indonesia the generals not only run the government but operate major state enterprises vital to the national economy like Petromina the state oil and gas corporation The same is true in Peru and Brazil where generals head up vital state agencies help for mulate longterm government policy and again in Brazil run the vital state oil and gas corpo ration called Petrobras In short the general officer in many of the worlds developing countries in or out of uniform is more than military leader He is politician planner technocrat innovator and in most instances where he is all these things also in power Part of the reason for this permanent phenomenon is that the military in developing coun tries represents the largest and besttrained element in the na tion where planning and admin istration are concerned THE PICK OF PUNCH all 12 to go her way and big dad dy Trudeau says yes at any cost Mr Basford and Almand threatened to take our guns but kept capital punishment low key and passed it Now mur derers can kill as they lease Expensive lawyers ribed judges juries and parole boar ds free in couple of months Unless the Trudeau govern ment admits it has deliberately ignored the wishes of the majority of people it

dense or reject letter ence in our confederation prob ably gives levelling quality which is most worth while The future of the return of the constitution is quite easy to see It will be returned when Ot tawa acts unilaterally The premiers will gripe and perhaps sulk bit They will say they are being pushed around But the fact is they have to be pushed around For they have shown that they mostly cant steer their own ship once con flicting interests are involved WEST LEADERS Of the various premiers in cidentally it is interesting how the western ones with the ex ception of Peter Lougheed of Al ertacomeoff We now are used to both Ed Schreyer of Manitoba and Alan Blakeney of Saskatchewan No matter what you think of their ideologies they have shown themselves to be good administrators and good leaders of their jurisdictions It is perhaps too soon to make good assessment of Bill Ben nett of Briti Columbia but he lgaves tty good impres Sion Lough however seems to be lettin down his early
