Limited to Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario L4M 4T6 Bruce Rowland publisher ADVERTISING 7266587 CLASSIFIEDS 7282414 Domestic unit worth the cost If youre given to reading scare headlines in tabloid newspapers you will realize that police officers in cities like Toronto spend their working lives in fear of gunhappy bank robbers syndicate hit men and psychopaths Right Wrong Most police officers get that familiar feeling in their stomachs when the cruiser radio squawks out the code number for domestic domestic is the simple designation for domestic dispute husband and wife about to turn one or the other into all insurance beneficiary parentchild dispute threatening to turn into violence and neighbors about to renew the Hatfield McCoy tradition across the back fence Many police departments across the country have taken to dispatching not one but two police officers to tile scene of domestic dispute one officer protects the other and acts as witness when the charges and countercharges start flying The truth of the matter is that husband and wife caugllt up in the emotion of the minute tend to regard tlle police of ficer as the intruder in their private argument Too often they both gang up on the officer who in an attempt to pre vent serious injury or death incurs it himself Whatever the psychological motivation domestics cost the police and the taxpayer untold thousands of dollars ill time and actual expense Until recently the domestic dispute like lnany other ac tivities with which the police are involved was considered inevitable and not subject to the same gamblers odds as say burglary where certain safeguards act as deterrent Now the Barrie police department has instituted Domestic Crisis Intervention Unit with the objective of preventing if not the first such occurrence certainly future problems It makes sense The fact that the idea is just now being ac cepted as legitimate tool of policing indicates that Milltt departments have tended to buy the charge that they are in terfering or intruding on delicate personal territory With the institution of such units as Barries the police recognize that wider social problem is involved alld tllat unless somebody steps in and points the family ill the right direction the address will become extremely well kllown to the central dispatcher If nothing else the fact that someone has hand ill tllll pockets for additional tax revenue to support policlng is strong enough argument to suggest the matter is hardly private Besides the breakdown of family harmony is surely among the most tragic of social concerns somebody has to care arid the police department is the front line in the process Last year Barrie police handled l7ti domestic disputes many involving violence Whatever money spent on the operation of the new intervention unit will pay dividends both socially and financially in the long run business By VINCENT EGAN Business and onsumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service For most major sectors of Canadas mining industry the first four months of 1979 have brought plenty of good news strong demand firm prices and reductions in stockpiles Only the most optimistic think that

up tlllltillltl authority to scrutinize standards and procedures at nuclear generating stations alld require an automatic failsafe system similar to the Canadian andu system This doesnt mean however that the development of nuclear generating stations in the US will be halted or rolled back The need for energy is too strong especially ill the heavily populated northeast to abandon any major source OPPERSTRONG The current strength in copper and molybdenum has set the scene for the all nounccment of major mining development in those metals by leck orp of Vancouver in what Tch says is probably the largest single Canadian mining investment ever made about slso million will be spent to develop the lliglinlont properly about 65 kilometres from Kamloops Annual production is expected to reach 50 million pounds of copper and 45 million pounds of molybdenum The entire output of the latter metal will be bought by West German heavy industrial firm that is substantial minority sharcholdcrof Teck Although some producers have reduced copper prices by few cents ill recent days the market for the metal remains strong especially in such uses as housebuilding Supply Oil the other hand continues to be depressed by the disrupt ion of deliveries from Zaire and its African neighbor Zambia as result of military actions that began thcrc nearly year ago Mincrs strikes ill Canada as well as in Chile and Peru have further reduced sups plies of copper Supplies of molybdenum are falling short of demand for the seventh consecutive year arid substantial price reductions seem likely as the year goes on Here are brief notes on other metals Lead is in strong demand especially in the manufacture of batteries and prices will probably remain high ne indication of this strength is the continuation of Soviet pur chases of lead from Western European sources Nickel having increased less than other metals is favored for greater price apprc ciation this year Industry stockpiles are being reduced at rate ot about 20 million pounds lnontll as tllc illco strike at Sudbury continues while demand has been expanding complicating factor has been rise ill speculative buying of the metal ill anticipae tion of shortages and price increases Aluminum demand is running very close to industry capacity and the price uptrend is expected to continue in the months ahead BUSINESS 7266537 NEWSROOM ADVERTISING

the sentiment if not the soft tone of Premier William Davis speech here to the Canadian Association of Broadcasters For Davis in his own polite way lam basted the media the electronii press for much of the same failures the American leader complained of decade ago Agnew was widely reviled by the American media for his comments which the tough wording of his speeches remember him calling the press nattering nabobs of negativism did nothing to dilute Until Agnew went on the warpath questioning media power was considered to be an attack on freedom of the press tan tamount to sacrilege it shows how times have changed when even Bill Davis will tell meeting of broad casters that there is growing concern about the standards of journalism and the obligation of the media to the public good What concerned Agnew and now Davis is the power of the media in particular their power to control the agenda to decide what will be discussed or what is thought worthy of discussion Davis explained it this way As the prime disseminators of in formation in this country as the people who tell the rest of us what Canadians are doing what they are thinking and to an increasing degree what they should be thinking Economic and political power are potentially dwarfed by the power authority and impact of media and information And the current federal election campaign gave Davis an opening to pursue the pain FOOTBALL FUMBLE He would like to see path away from the trend whereby the media and public focused on charisma instead of policies on mental acrobatics as opposed to workable ideas He noted that Tory Bob Stanfield lost thousands of votes because he fumbled football in the 1974 election And while Davis didnt say it everyone knows clumsiness as perceived by the media is going to cost Tory Joe Clark this timctoo Or as Davis added about the reporting commentary and opinion resulting from that football picture it was contrasted with Liberal Pierre Trudeaus agility in sliding down banistcrs None of which has to do with mans qualifications to be prime minister This distorting of what is news this control of the agenda that Agnew talked about is what upsets not just Davis but anyone con cerned with the medias seeming lack of ability to combine power with responsibility Policy will only be more important than stylc when it is given equal weight in reporting and commentary Davis said bluntly The premier has personal stake in bringing balance to the media beyond the usual political considerations For months hes tried to build confidence in the economy and country with optimistic speeches here there and everywhere Thus it is disconcerting to find that commentator can spread doom and gloom to countless thousands and have far greater impact In terEreting the news Trade embargo

allaghan with Conservative government led by Margaret Thatcher American and British hopes for peace conference involving all parties in the dis pulc including black guerrilla leaders and for internalionallysupervised elections were dashed however when Rhodesian Prime Minister lan Smith rejected outside mediation and said RhodeSlans alone would solve the problem of transferring power to the black majority The blackmajority government that will take power in June will try to end the guer rilla war and get on with building nation says the man who will become prime minister Bishop Abel Muzorewa it also will seek international recognition of the new government What bothers the US about the new government is that it in effect has fmzen out participation by Patriotic Front guerrillas and that it gives disproportionate power to the white minority Rhodesias white population about four per cent of the countrys three million residents is guaranteed 28 of the 100 seats in parliament enough to block any constitutional changes The constitution also gives whites con 01 of the lnilitary police judiciary and civi serv ice for five years To the Carter ad ministration and other Western governments the election process was slick move by the white minority to retain power through screen of black politicians Callaghan announced decision made after weekend consultations with Carter to send special envoy back to Rhodesia to try once again for an allparties peace con ference
