CNi Express operations will affect Barrie and Simcoe County but joint efforts bet ween the company and the union to save CN express from going under could be the first of its kind in Canada The company is attempting to deal with deficit of $45 million expected in 1979 says Les Gallant director of employee relations for the com pany In an attempt to save the company hit hard by private companies getting business over the express company about 400 union jobs will have to be eliminated across Canada Cutbacks are more likely in larger terminal and in smaller cities close to major

will be to build up eye on Herod while Gabby Terry Arnold and the other angels go about prepanng for Jesuss birth Along the way are plenty of antics and good music BOLNCY RIIYIIIMS Follow the Stars songs have bouncy rhythms in variety of musical styles and catchy modern lyrics Although the characters and situations are delightful enough the songs carry the show In musical produc tion thats as it should be The singing is only adequate but is bolstered by strong choral and musical ac companiment under the direction of Cathy Parker Nance The real tribute to the music its performers and director is that the songs form the essence of the story rather than an intrusion So often musicals dont manage this integration In Follow the Star thre is little sense of having to wait for the next song to pick up the pace or for the next bit of action to get on with things Storyline and music work well together The show aims primarily at children but also sets itself the difficult task of ap pealing to all age groups For the most part it succeeds The foolery is original and zany enough to charm anyone and the actors en thusiasm is infectious The even open up few centres he told staff numbers will be more likely in industries are sales force to try and off set the rapidly decreasing business Gallant said The cooperative spirit bet ween the union and the com pany is an attempt he said to prevent the company from go ing down the drain There is only so long you can put up with deficits like $45 million each year he said Ed Finn with the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Transport and General Workers told The Examiner the company in effect has in stituted stay of execution until the matter can be studied It depends on whether or not they can find ways of turning around the deficit he told
