The gloves are off for Sunday July at the Barrie Fairgrounds amongst other things when these lovely beauties battle it out for the title of Miss Tells local chamber Free market system key to prosperity president By RICHARD THOMAS Of The Examiner The Ontario Chamber of Commerce stands for support preservation and improvement of the free market system which has provided the pro sperity and opportunity we en joy its president told members of the Barrie Chamber Wednesday The free enterprise system has proven itself as vehicle for great achievement Roy Elms told guests at the Barrie chambors annual spring din ner To counter the something for nothing subculture which has developed Elms said the Ontario chambers credo must be equality of opportunity rather than equal ivision of rewards Elms said the alternative policies of socialists contained fundamental contradiction Their programs are depen dent on wealth accuring from economic growth but their policies in fact inhibit the in vestment essential to expansion of economic activity Elms credited the efforts of the Ontario chamber with welcome rekindiing of respect for the wisdom of the market place and turning away from government inposed solu tions There is no doubt that through our constant chipping away at the inadequacies of bureaucratic programs we have prompted backing off from ever increasing govern ment involvement in our lives hesaid FORCE T0 RECKON WITH Elms said the Ontario chamber is force to be reckoned with and we should not underestimate the influence we have But although the chamber ex ists to interact with the provin cial government on behalf of business people our credibiity is much stronger when there are clear signs of your backing and involvement Elms told local chamber members He said business leaders in every community should be in constant communication with government of all levels to en sure strong input and influence on the future environment in which business will operate The time has long gone when local businessman could regard himself as immune to decisions taken in Queens Park orOttawa Local businessmen must reinforce the message that business is the driving force in the community Elms said We must join together in speaking out against un necessary and counter produc tive regulations we must sup port and recommend new ways to encourage increased private investment and we must insist on antiinflationary policies he said But in speaking out businessmen must ensure that their interests reflect the in terests and aspirations of the public at large Elms added If this is not so the demand for return of centralized control and regulation will be deafen ing and compelling he said And for heavens sake dont complain that the local politi cians dont understand business Elms said Make sure that only those who do get elected Elms said Ontario is on the threshhold of good economic opportunities and appears to be town country Board approves use

Examiner Barrie manufacturer of woodburning stoves is one of two Ontario firms upset by national revenue department decision forcing them to pay five per cent excise tax Three of the seven models produced by Fisher Wood Stoves here are classified as fireplaces by the revenue department because they come equipped with sliding doors and screen and therefore to not qualify for 1977 amendment to the Excise Act that exempts wood stoves as an incentive to develop energy conservation equipment Michaele Breau general manager of Fishser Wood Stoves the company supplier for Ontario said the tax means $25 price hike on the retail levelan increase she describes as an unnecessary charge to the consumer She said the government con siders the models in question as fireplaces and therefore not part of energy conservation equipment even though many owners use them closed without the doors and screen No matter if the door is open or closed heat is still given off and users save on oil consump tion she said One of Breaus main arguments against the legisla tion is tht the government does not test the efficiency of units in evaluating them for tax pur poses Alvin Hannah assistant deputy revenue minister says his department does not check Citytownships stove design only names and descriptions Breau described the govem ments attitude to the whole issue as unreasonable You put two identical wood stoves beside each other and what youll find is that the one without screen is not taxed while the one with screen is she said Fishser Wood Stoves was handed its manufacturers licence for excise tax in April 1978 and was the first company to receive it Timberline waste dumping Meetings have resumed bet ween Barrie and surrounding townships over the dumping of processed organic waste session was held Tuesday between Veupra and Barrie to ensure Barrie are following the pro dumping procedures sai Ald Alex Arthur Ald Arthur chairman of the committee said that nothing can be spread on land in Vespra without prior knowledge of the township In the past there were in cidents of sludge dumped on sits approved by the province that had not gone through the township office said Ald Ar thur Another concern was that sludge being dumped on some farmland tends to smell said the Barrie alderman However new underground Energy Systems of Timmins recently came under the same legislation and manager Will Davis said the taxed stoves are just as energy efficient as the tax exempt stoves Breau said she wrote several letters to government officials during the past year and the company hired lobbyist to seek reversal of the decision method designed by the city contractor avoids some of the unseemingly odor said the Barrie alderman Barrie used to dump in dustrial sludge on land in the in Ottawa wrnter Several thousand dollars But bylaW in most later thelobbyisttold thefirm townships including Vespra reversal for Fisher Wood now prohibits this said Ald Ar Stoves was doubtful but the thur fight could continue on behalf of all wood stove manufac turers Breau said at that point the cost was becoming too great and the lobby was discontinued She added the company has thousands of testimonies from owners of the stoves as to their energy conservation merits Breau is convinced when enough companies are faced with the tax action will be taken to try and change the legislation FEARS RUN OFF The sludge when put on frozen land could run off and go just about anywhere said Ald Arthur As result Barrie has to store the sludge in the winter matter which has not posed problem thus far he said The majority of farmers however are happy to have the sludge on their land said Ald Arthur BARRIE HILL FARMS 9th Cone of Vespra Invite you to pick your own irrigated
