Ontario L4M 4T6 Brute Rowland publisher ADVIITISING 7266537 ClASSIFIEDS 7282414 Towards sensible pay proposal Politicians are paid to legislate But legislating their own pay is always thorny problem for politicians Barrie alderman Gord Mills ad some thoughts on the subject of pay this week He suggested that citizens committee be set up to help set pay scales By so doing the onus of raising pay could be largely shifted from politicians to citizens without personal interest The suggestion was not accepted by Barrie council There are good reasons why such scheme may not be practical including the fact that by law politicians are required to vote their own pay Alderman Mills suggestion may or may not be an answer But it should not be dismissed entirely We see it as point of departure beginning basis for fur ther discussion Our contention is that politicians generally deserve the pay they get and more Running municipality in Simcoe County is not parttime job any more It is demanding job which demands good people and complete attention Decent pay for good politicians is not waste of money It is an investment in the wellbeing of the municipality On the other hand politicians do not want to be seen helping themselves generously at the public trought Indeed they have responsibility to practice restraint if the rest of us are to follow their lead In looking at guidelines for sensible pay proposal for elected representatives an important consideration should be com parative pay levels That means one council should not be earning appreciably more than another council For instance why should Essa Township now be paying coun cillors $6500 year while Tiny Township councillors are likely toearn $1000 less The two townships are very nearly the same in population and assessment Are their duties that dissimilar to ac count for the difference Essa may be more than justified in paying its councillors what they do In fact we think good councillor is easily worth $13021 week By the same token councils of similar size should not be worth less Obviously there is no easy solution to the question The pro blem of pay rates however should be kept in the open That way justice will not only be done but also Will be seen to be done Dear Sir When reporting on matters concerning Canada and Canadians the media frequently refers to the Constitution of Canada and specifically The British North America Act It occurs to me that we should all be more knowledgeable about this Act that forms the foundation for our nation Section 133 of the British North America Act states as follows 133 Either the English or the French Language may be used by any Person in the Debates of the Houses of the Parliament of Canada and of the Houses of the Legislature of Quebec and both those Languages shall be used in the respective Records and Journals of those Houses and either of those Languages may be used by any Per son or in any Pleading or Process in or issuing from any Court of Canada eStablished under this Act and in or from all or any of the Courts of or From my desk letters to the editor Quebec The Acts of the Parliament of Canada and of the Legislature of Quebec shall be printed and publish ed in both those Languages It appears that the foregoing Sec tion 133 of the Act provides the only authority within the Act for Mr Trudeaus bilingualism policies Provincial powers relative to education are described in Section 93 of the Act It is apparent that there is little or no requirement within Section 93 for the furthering of the French language and culture beyond the borders of Quebec At the risk of appearing red necked Anglophone would point out that this historica document is indeed the British North America Act and not the British and French North American Act as Mr Trudeau and Mr Levesque would like us to believe Yours very truly Doug Reid Stroud Whod have ever believed it By IAN MULGREW People wouldnt have believed it

Thomson News Service The question as to whether the airships will ever come back is one that arises as often as that other perennial about whether the big bands will ever come back Paradoxically despite the fact that the air ships like certain big hands have never altogether gone away the answer is that they are hardly likely to come back They havent gone away because Goodyear Aerospace Corp in the United States still operates four blimps tairships with no inter nal skeleton that it built for the US Navy during the Second World War But when the president of Goodyear Aerospace Morris Jobe appeared recent ly before the US Senates Science Technology and Space Committee even he didnt sound entirely bullish on the future pro spects of the airship Jobe told the senators that two types of air ship are within the bounds of technical feasibility 0nc would be heavylift vehicle com bining elements of the airship and the helicoptcr The airships helium would supply most of its lift and four turbinepowered rotorpropellors would supply propulsion The other would be longendurance surveillance airship akin to the four Goodyear blimps that are still familiar in their roles of telcvising sporting events and providing sightseeing rides for tourists in places like Miami Beach STRONG SllIORT If the kind of blimp that Jobc visualizes should be built it would be capable of carry ing up to 60 passengers on short hauls but would more likely be used by the Navy or oast Guard in dcfcncc or antismuggling patrols The first typc that is the larger rigid airship was strongly supported at the senatorial hcarings by witnesses speaking on behalf of logging and construction industries of crane and rigging company and of the IS National Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration Although Jobc was doubtful that rigid air ships would make comeback he testified that such heavylift vchiclc could carry useful load of 75 tons ithn thc 3N Tower in Toronto the worlds tallest freestanding structure was ncaring complction helicopter was needed to lift the final slruc ral components to the top Thc biggcst helicopters however can carry only about 1610iisi Without trying to raisc any false hopes about the prospects for passenger travel in cithcr rigid airships or blimps Jobc pointed to the outstanding safety record of Goodyear blimps Among thc millions of passengers thcy havc carried since 1925 thch have been no fatalities As one of those millions of passengers can testify that flight in blimp is unique and memorablc cxixricncc Goodyear blimps accommodatc six people including thc pilot When thc blimp comcs in for landing it ground crew holds it down with ropcs Thrcc pcoplc disembark three waiting passciigcrs board thc other arriving passengers disembark and the remaining two departing
