or 65 they should not have that right denied This is providing they are able to pass stringent health rquirements which would be used as proof they are still valuable to the nations workforce and are not endangering their own health person who has worked at job or profession for 40 years or more certainly has something to hand down to younger people just enter ing the workforce Dr Rynard himself is perfect example that productivity does not end at 65 He waus senior citizen for most of his political career That did not stop him from ably serving the many constituents in the riding of Simcoe

lhkDN to Sort Comparisons can be drawn between Red BrigadelRA By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The Provisional Irish Republican Army like the Italian Red Brigades has become one of the worlds most professional terrorist groups That means the IRAs ability to maintain levels of bombings murders and attacks on society now equals that of the Red Brigades who have disrupted whole nation with their violent activities The IRA assassination of Earl Mountbatten and 18 British soldiers on the same day was shocking eyeopener to the British security authorities in Northern Ireland that the IRA had regrouped In effect ragtag organization prone to traditional Irish disdain for management has completely organized itself into the tiny and murderous urban cells first conceived and put into practice in Latin America Like the Italian Red Brigades but very unlike the Palestinian Liberation Organiza tion PLO the IRA is small in numbers perhaps no more than 300 members in all Part of their effectiveness is their ability to disappear into the woodwork euphemism which means the professional IRA bombers can slip back to farm and factory with none knowing why they had left Indeed so mysterious is this effective re structuring of the IRA that its five man cells do not know each other and never com municate directly It also means IRA top leadership is not very hard to define SOURCE OF WEAPONS Equally mysterious are the routes through which the IRA receives its weapons though its financing is more open given the known and advertised support for the terrorists from many Irish Americans The standard IRA automatic rifle is not Russian but the Japanese Armalite made in both Japan and the United States for about $350 Sovietbloc arms have also been found in captured IRA weapons caches These include the ubiquitous Soviet A47 automatic assault rifle and the occasional antitank rocket also Russianmade The British response was to appoint Sir Maurice Oldfield former head of M16 the in ner sanctum of Britains antiterrorist and in telligence organizations as coordinator in Northern Ireland As such he takes charge of the activities of the Ulster Constabulary and the 15000 man British army already trained in antiterrorist activities Sir Maurice began his duties just before the arrival of the Pope in Ireland with his strong personal plea for peace in the region The British have been involved too long with the IRA to hope for success from the Popes plea turned down by the IRA which can no longer be identified as Catholic but neoMarxist Blackwell became rebel in bid to gain leadership Editors Note Frustrated in his attempt to gain George Drews support for the provin cial PC leadership Leslie Blackwell became rebel and alienated his fellow Conser vatives Looking back over his career at Queens Park Don OHearn today recalls this landmark incident in Ontario politics By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service On Tuesday morning in October 1948 Leslie Blackwell called me down to his office He was fuming He threw some typewritten pages across the desk and said Look at this The then AttorneyGeneral and number two man in the government had been trying to get together with Drew for three months since the June provincial election when the premier had been personally defeated With it being accepted that Drew would be moving on to Ottawa Blackwell wanted to find out what he intended to do about the On tario premiership and provincial leadership He would be appointing someone as interim premier and Blackwell ardent for the leader ship wanted to be that man It would be healthy first step towards the permanent job But Drew had ducked him not answering calls and being very abrupt when he did catch up to him Then on the Saturday Blackwell told me he had finally pinned him down at the PC convention in Ottawa Drew had promised to meet him at the Chateau Laurier Hotel either that day after the voting or on the Sun day On Monday morning on the front page of the Globe and Mail prominent among its con vention coverage there had been three column picture of Col Tom Kennedy minister of agriculture and the veteran of the cabinet under the caption NEW PREMIER The report said that after winning the leadership Drew had resigned as Ontario premier and had named Kennedy as the in terim incumbent until convention could be held to name permanent provincial leader It turned out Blackwell hadnt seen Drew The now national leader had continued to LOOKING BACK duck him The first he knew of the Kennedy appointment was when he read his Globe And he was beyond the boiling point The this he handed me was fourpage announcement of his candidacy for the pro vincial leadership But it was far from an or dinary announcement In it the wouldbe can didate made it clear he stood apart and was running as his own man It was frank almost blunt statement It didnt directly ac cuse Drew or the party establishment of specific acts loyal party man Blackwell was not out to give ammunition to sink his party but it left no doubt there were things that needed cleaming up and that he was running to clean them up After had read the statement sitting across the desk from him he said Well what do you think Young and rash though not really that young said What the hell Why not shoot it couple of hours later the statement came up to our desks in the press gallery The statement unquestionably Blackwell the leadership When it was made he had tremendous following And while he continued to per sonally enjoy great respect he then became rebel There can be great conformity in politics particularly Conservative politics And nothing turns off conformist more quickly than rebel nonconformist His support quickly began to drop off The 1948 leadership change was one of those crossmad points in Ontario political history The future course of the province rested great deal with the man that was elected leader and premier cost veritable history mom Supreme Court fancy of Ottawa department By STEWART MacLEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service When the government spends its money an obscure projects you learn about it through brief cuttothebone announcements that are clearly designed for the bottoms of wastepaper baskets They are not explained or do they particularly invite questions You just read for instance that $19646 is being spent for the remote sensing determination of head lettuce maturity and thats it But every once in while there is an expen diture that tickles the fancy of some publicist in the government and the glorious details are ewed out for the benefit of breathless worl The latest example involves the new Canadianmade ceremonial robes for the nine justices of the Supreme Court of Canada This was $24000 expenditure that really excited someone in the department of supply and services and we were treated to of red robes which are paraded publicly for the ceremonial opening of Parliament Now it seems the judges will be wearing allCanadian robes and we are given to understand that this represents proud moment in our history HISTORY LESSON When the Supreme Court of Canada was created in 1875 we are informed robes for the Supreme Court Justices were made in Britain from Monks cloth as by tradition the Kings laws were administrated by local monks prior to the Magna Carta Now this is not the type of historical detail that normally accompanies government an nouncement of contractletting As an ex ample there wasnt the slightest interest shown in history when the government decid ed to spend $10000 for an analysis of feeding preferences of the gypsy moth in the forests of southern Quebec would love to know what these moths historically preferred in the way of grub But not word on that However am learning great deal about judicial robes The original robes worn by Canadian Supreme Court Justices were copied from those worn by Royal Court Justices in Britain the announcement goes on Most of the original robes are still in ser vice the odd robe requiring replacement be ing made of braize cloth essentially the type material used on billiard tables Dll With regard to the very irrational com ments of one Peter Puck see Letter to the Editor October 18 one would suspect that this person is carrying very large chip on his shoulder regarding the BMH rebut tal of his statements must be made and shall review the letter point by point At the beginning of the season many of the expros and local veterans of hockey were contacted including some of the names men tioned by Peter Puck for the sole purpose of soliciting their help for our young hockey teams Some of these men are playing in Oldtimers hockey and recreational leagues and answered that they couldnt be tied down on regular basis Others didnt have the courtesy to reply Many helped out with our preseason training and for their efforts we are grateful would suggest to Peter Puck that of the twenty others whom he could name if he could get commitment from any of them he is far better PR man than any of us and we could use him in our organiza tion The BMHA is very open and democratic organization and always has been The executive is elected by the general membership annually and anyone and everyone is eligible to stand for office With the membership at around 400 one cannot say that our executive is closed shop Coaches and Managers are selected by full committee of knowledgeable hockey in dividuals and any conflicts of interest are avoided wherever possible If Peter Puck would care to contact me personally will be glad to give him list of executive members whose sons are playing on second teams and also in House League hockey simply because they did not have the Tholotrio hominoriooinomborot

on Mt noon Otto In this Working robes tickle PARLIAMENT HILL Thats an interesting bit of knowledge isnt it Needless to say the material was quite heavy and therefore uncomfortable says the enthusiastic author Makes you wonder whether perhaps whether some of the slate came along when they stripped the billiard table for new robe JUST RIGHT Following considerable research DDS department of supply and services staff found just the right material bright red barathea cloth made by Dominion Woollens Montreal for the department of national defence What the department of national defence needs that cloth for is quite another matter Although traditionally trimmed with Rus sian ermine it was decided that the Canadian gowns would be trimmed with white mink Arrangements were therefore made with the Canadian Mink Breeders Association to sup ply suitable uantities of white female mink skins And skins can be removed for dry cleaning an innovation that would certain ly have impressed those British monks There isnt thing we dont now know about the robes all because someone in govern ment decided it was happy expenditure Meanwhile we are left without shred of detail for that $25000 expenditure on an in ventory and analysis of the attitudinal orien tations of Central Canadian cultures toward wildlife something that has fascinated me for years Presumably we will never know the result of that $15000 study into the detec tion of bones in fish And while we now have the necessary background to pass judgment on that $24000 expenditure for new allCanadian robes guess we will remain blissfully in the dark about why at the same time the government is spending $36000 for study into the flatus inducing factors in dry beans ability to make the All Star teams So much for his family compact situation His last statement really puzzles me We should be looking under our noses for coaches and not far afield All of our coaches and managers are Barrie area residents This person is so far out with his views that he is doing the BMHA and hundreds of citizens great disservice That may be his intention For the benefit of those readers who have been misled by Mr Peter Puck say this There are dozens of dedicated individuals working many hours each week for the benefit of the young athletes in this city through the BMHA Hundreds more work to raise over $60000 each year to enable the BMHA to operate It is not easy yet we are glad to do it and if it helps to make better citizens of our young boys then we feel we are accomplishing something and we feel it is worth the effort For your further information Mr Peter Puck those family compact coaches you refer to guided our boys to four OMHA championships and two OMHA finalists last year and we are honored to have been selected by the OMHA to host this years Air Canada Cup Ontario finals in Barrie in March 1980 can only suggest to RP that if in future he wishes to defame this organization through the local press that he get his facts straight No organization is perfect we know that but if Peter Puck would like changes he should come out and work with us Then again if he hasnt the inclination he shouldnt knock us Yours in rebuttal William Harris 2nd Vice President BMHA Provincial Tory decision on French school surprising By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO FRankly the decision by the provincial government not to proceed with unilingual Frenchlanguage high school in Penetanguishene on Georgian Bay is surpris ing It shows far more bravery than one expects from this administration While economics may be on the Conser vative side emotions are all the other way Its even remored the Canadian Council on Christians and Jews is going to make kind of tuttut inspection tour of the town with the intention of embarrassing the govern ment The Tory decision is economic in origin the number of students just not justifying $4 million for second high school in the town Simcoe County Board of Education survey showed only 120 students would attend unilingual French high school although proponents claim that number would grow to 350 over time TWO YEARS The current school is bilingual with the emphasis on English even though Fran cophones claim 60 per cent of the 900 students cuome out of the French elementary school in wn About 55 students attend private French high school set up last month to pressure the government into uilding new one For more than two years the education ministry first under Tom Wells and then Bette Stephenson has waf led on whether to go ahead or not Part of the reluctance to make decision is fearof how rejection might be perceived in the biased and antiEnglish Quebec press With the separatist Parti Quebecois gear FROM THE LEGISLATURE ing up for their sovereigntyassociation referendum thats the last thing federalists need Once more the nasty English are seen deny ing FrenchCanadians their rights EASY OUT It would be easier just to go ahead With the school his is especially true since both opposition parties here favor building The Liberals and NDP gan ed up at committee meeting last week and8 by stretching house rules out of whack recommended construction The Franco one argument is based on the fear of assimi ation They believe separate French courses separate administration even separate wing iii the same building arent ood enough to ensure FrenchCanadian stu nts keep their culture Once out of the classroom they would mix with Anglophones and inevitably the hnguge of use would be English FEAR MIXING Roman Catholic separate schools refuse to share premises with public schools because of cultural contamination Stephenson while conceding the oblems of mixed schools insists the eal cir cumstance of separate building has to be balanced aginst the dollar costs
