Business and onsumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Moving to new home soon great many Canadian families to move each summer and that creates bottlenecks in the moving industry Yet for families with schoolage children inflexible vacation schedules or both there may be little alternative but to try to move at one of those peak periods If you have to move at the movers busiest times as listed by the Hamiltonbased Cana dian Association of Movers decide on specific date and reserve with moving firm as early as possible June 24 to July when children are let out of school July 26 to Aug when many businesses shut down for annual vacation Aug 27 to Sept the week that spans Labor Day and the reopening of schools COMPARE ES Moving is big competitive business so choose your mover carefully after asking friends and neighbors about their experience with movers Ask number of movcrs to give you written estimates Local moves are priced at an hourly rate and longdistance moves on the basis of distance weight of goods and ser vices needed Be especially wary of any estimates that are unusually low but note that some firms we want your opinion Something on your mind Send Letter to the Editor

to the Editor he IlllhOV Peat Office In 370 Ill Out Mini mall positive step Its encouraging to see group of Barrie businessmen forg ing ahead with downtown development of their own About nine merchants have banded together to set up mini mall on Dunlop Street East The mini mall may not be overwhelming in scope but its signifigance should not be overlooked It shows positive attitude about the future of downtown Barrie and willingness to invest now in that future As Peter McIntyre of the citys downtown board com mented its nice to see rekindling of spirit downtown The mini mall is also good for the east end of the city an area which has great unrealized potential The project is expected to gain council approval at its meeting next week and could begin almost immediately Hopefully the mini mall idea will provide impetus for other downtown announcements The proposed giant downtown projects seeder and the civic centre project will truly dictate the future direction But smaller business ventures will play part too in giving afresh look and new vitality to our downtown The Dunlop Street East mini mall is positive step in that Simcoe County jail is very early building dating from 1842 The building was enlarged in l862 and wall built to prevent escapes in i902 gover nors residence was added on the southwest corner This building is con sistently condemned as inadequate and constructive ideas for recycling are needed Drawing courtesy LACAC committee charge less at an offpeak time which provides an incentive to move at period other than the summer or the last 10 days of any month If you are making local move remember that the hourly rate applies from the time the van leaves the warehouse until it returns So if you invite the crew to takea 15minute refreshment break it will cost you several dollars that might better be spent on tipping them Give something to each packer more to the driver and helpers and an extra tip when you are shipping your goods into storage and wont be present to oversee their unloading MOVING EXPENSES Still on the subject of money the movers will expect to be paid with cash money order or bank draft before unloading If they arent they can store the goods at your expense Your moving expenses as defined fairly broadly are deductible from taxable income earned at the new location if you move to new Canadian location to earn income your new home is at least 25 miles closer to your new work location you cease carrying on business or employment at your old location Here are the expenses that you can deduct to reasonable amounts for moving yourself your family and household effects Travelling costs including meals and lodging Transportation and storage including packing hauling and insurance Cost of cancelling an unexpired lease on your old residence Cost of selling your old residence in cluding advertising notarial or legal fee and real estate commission DAMAGE POLICY Damage insurance is worthwhile Compare premiums quoted by the mover and by your own insurance agent and check both proposals for loopholes in the coverage At the start of the move and at its end you will be asked to sign the movers list of all the goods and their condition in code to show your agreement Once you have accepted the mover description you have no recourse for damage you may discover later so take your time and dont be intimidated If anything has been damaged in transtt notify the carrier promptly in writing unless it is something of minor nature that the mover can correct on the soot 7266537 Parliament Hill By STEWART MacLEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Given the difficulties he faced in balancing regional representation parliamentary ex perience personal loyalties and general ability Prime Minister Joe Clark seems to have done very well in forming the first Conservative cabinet in 16 years There is fresh new vitality in Ottawa as such ministers as Flora MacDonald John Crosbie James McGrath Don Mazankowski Lincoln Alexander John Fraser and Elmer MacKay walk into their portfolios to put their personal imprints on the future course of our government The letmeatit enthusiasm which seems to be oozing from the sound proof cabinet room is refreshing change from the weary and battleworn atmosphere that prevailed during the last years of the Trudeau regime At first glance it would appear that Clark has managed to formulate that team spirit he talked about so eagerly during the election campaign as he offered the electorate an alternative to the allegedly oneman rule of Pierre Trudeau The world today By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The Polish visit of Pope John Paul II Slav son of the Polish nation who feels how deeply fixed in the ground of history are the roots of ois origin to use his own words is deeplyemotional and deeply political The Pope former priest and prelate of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland the son of humble Polish family has drawn the largest crowds to hear any speaker at any time in the history of postwar Eastern Europe More than five million of his countrymen will have come to the huge open air masses to take communion listen to his intense homilies on the faith human freedoms and Polands role in the world But above all they have come to see him to rejoice with one of them from nation captive to Communism to revel in his words of admonition to the secular authorities that the Church in the East does not sleep We cannot forget these brothers of ours trust that they hear me would be very sorry if knew that they did not hear me We are living in the age of declared freedom of in formation We have to work so decidedly to create free exchange of information ATHEISM IIALLENGED These words also from the joyous Pontiff during the pontifical mass at Gniezno where the Polish state was fashioned ten centuries ago are direct challenge to the atheism and thoughtcontrol of the Communist systems of this world The Pope must know that in Poland his visits coverage was severely excerpted on the state radio and television compared to the open coverage from the West He must also know that the USSR is doing its best to ignore this massive event which in SCOOPS YOU SEE SISYPHUS WAS LEGENDARY ONLY TO HAVE KING OF CORlNTil CONPEMNED TO ROLL HEAVY ROCK AGAIN AS iT HILL IN HADES z4 Cabinet teom looks good for first Clark government LINCOLN ALEXANDER labor minister the final analysis could make the Poles more restive than ever under Communist bondage In his nationbynation analysis of the many Slav societies who were baptized and made Catholic during the centuries he made special mention of the coming of the Cross to Lithuania There has not been separate Lithuanian state since World War Two and the special reference to Lithuanian Catholicism un dergoing intense Soviet persecution was surely very intentional This moving visit of the son of Poland who became the Vicar of Christ on earth em phasizes again that the church in Poland remains what it has been throughout Polish history frontier church and the sure bulwark against Polands secular enemies After more than three decades of Com munism ninety per cent of Poles are still baptized The churches are always filled with the devout of all ages The church remains the one untouchable vehicle not only of the faith but of Polish nationalism Again John Paul II reminded Poles and undoubtedly the nations Communist regime of this association when he said at Gniezno that the great ecclesiastical and state act of the year 1000 laid the foundations of the hierarchical order for the whole history of Poland OUT OI THE SHADOWS John Paul II moves through nation bathed in an early summer heat wave but which has come through another bitter Polish winter of food and fuel shortages and the grey life un der Communism Receive the Holy Spirit he tells his fellow Poles and the bread of life Surely he is also saying to the Poles you must continue to reject the Communist bread Ofaffliclinn lT ROLL DOWN NEARED THE TOP If there were any reservations among the 29 ministers selected by the new prime minister they were certainly well concealed Even the atmosphere around the swearingin ceremony resembled Grey Cup parade MANY BYPASSED But while Clark deserves high marks for some astute and courageous selections he had to bypass highly qualified and eager colleagues whose close personal friendship he values the makeup of his initial cabinet also serves to emphasize the partys em barrassing weakness in Quebec Despite 10 days of recruiting efforts Clark has so far been unable to convince any highprofile and influential Quebecers tojoin his cabinet He said that discussions are continuing in regard to the appointment of additional representatives from the province of Quebec but considering the list of names he began with in his efforts to bring in non elected Quebecers his failure doesnt say much for the partys stature in the province Perhaps in time he will recruit the Quebecers he wants but in the meantime that province clearly lacks potent punch in the new government Even the two lonely Tory MPs who were elected in Quebec failed to get choice por tfolios Roch LaSalle is minister of supply and services traditional starting ground and Reward Grafftey is minister of state for social programs new invention which appears to be starting ground without even the benefit of tradition The new prime minister who earlier said he wanted ministers who would reflect the contemporary Quebec reached into the Senate to name two retreads from the Diefenbaker era But neither Justice Minister Jacques Flynn who is 63 nor Martial Asselin 55 who is minister of state responsible for the Canadian International Development Agency would seem to fulfill that requirement Flynns portfolio is likely temporary since Clark is believed to be using that position to lure more prominent Quebecers to Ottawa As for Asselins assignment since CIDA has never had fulltime minister its probably case of giving him something to do while hes in cabinet The prime minister has increased the Frenchspeaking element of his cabinet with the appointmentmof Robert de Cotret as minister of industry trade and commerce with the added chore of heading the relatively new Board of Economic Development De Cotret was defeated in Ottawa Centre but despite this rejection by the voters Clark is determined to utilize the talents of the man he has described as one of the top economists in the country Since no two people have ever agreed on the relative abilities of economists well just have to accept the word of the new prime minister But considering all the talent available from Ontario and all of it duly elected by the people would seriously question de Cotrets appointment Senatorial cabinet ministers who escape the daily Commons question period may be okay in an emergency and the lack of Tory representation from Quebec would qualify as an emergency but with 57 elected Con servatives in Ontario am not convinced Clark had to go over the heads of the voters No one knows whether Clark in this case was more impressed with de Cotrets name or his wisdom But in either case he could have been given senior economic role in the prime ministers office until he earned his way into the Commons From the legislature Silliest bill of session By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO If legislative awards were given out for Silliest bill of the session then MPP Ross McClellan NDP Toronto Bellwoods would win hands down Hes introduced private members legislation type which rarely becomes law entitled Bill of Rights for Children Its worth noting simply as an example of why so many people tend to treat the NDP or sections of it less than seriously According to McClellan children have 12 basic rights Not 11 or 13 but 12 One for example is the right to an en vironment free from physical abuse ex ploitation and degrading treatment At first glance thats not only common sense it already exists in law Parents have no more right to assault their children than they do their neighbors BIG WORDS But McClellan is talking about more than child abuse Is making child do the dishes without pay form of exploitation Some say it is And is it degrading treatment to insist children should be seen and not heard when adult guests come visiting as some child psychologists say The penchant some NDPers have for stringing big words together to form high sounding but very vague and dangerous phrases was never more in evidence Theres irony here too McClellans 12 rights are not really rights at all as people un derstand the term Rights in the modern context are something supposedly inalienable that youre born with which government guar antees for you CAN DENY And while McClellan grandly states his 12 rights are universally applicable to Ontario children and enforceable in the courts he leaves himself an escape clause Parents can refuse to allow their children to exercise these rights Compulsory intervention by the state in parentchild relationships is not permitted under this bill Which makes hash of the whole idea of rights Rights that can be ignored or with drawn are really privileges It also makes nonsense of the bill REAL REASON What point is there for example in giving child right to have his or her opinions heard and to be included to the greatest extent possible when any decisions are being made affecting his or her life but only until daddy says no The real significance of the bill as Mc Clellan admits is to impose legal obligation on government to provide the sup port services for these socalled rights Which in particular circumstances may or may not be reasonable But how does one interpret what McClellan calls the right to play and recreation Anc what would it cost Actually leaving aside all the inanities of the bill there is fundamental objection to it What children need most in life is to be loved and wanted Government cant provide that so McClellan ignores it Yet those should be childs most fundamental rights Backgrounder Canadians catch driving fever By THE CANADIAN
