chairman of the Public Service Commission is the man at the centre of growing public storm over the future of Canadas public service This is the first of series of four articles in which he backgrounds the development of the com mission and talks of its role and respon sibilities By SEAN FINLAY Of The Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service With an oldworld graciousness Edgar Gallant invites you to share the view of the Parliament buildings from his corner office high in downtown Ottawa office building Theres flaw in the view Another office building blocks most of the Centre Block of the Parliament buildings from sight That office building is far from being the only flaw in Edgar Gallants life these days Gallant is chairman of the Public Service valuable resource is its people Dont waste it Leader defends public service of the merit principle for the federal government The public service is under attack as being wasteful and inefficient The Lambert Royal Commission released its report in March suggesting sweeping changes in the function of the PublicService Commission Gallant who feels it is not the right thing for senior officials to be too visible in the public eye has decided to seek publicity for his views on the Public Service and its future Gallant is in unique position to talk about Canadas Public Service He first came to Ottawa in the summer of 1948 while graduate student at Laval Uni versity Maurice Lamontagne now Senator Lamontagne was my professor of economics recalls Gallant He got me quite interested in what was going on in By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Next time you take longdistancc flight and feel tempted to grouse about the latest fare increase try looking at it this way If it werent for the freight being shipped in the cargo hold of that airplane your fare would in all likelihood be considerably higher To most of us air cargo is an invisible as air itself But to the scheduled airlines which have to maintain regular passengcr services throughout the ups and downs of public demand air cargo is steady and growing lsourcc of revenue with which to pay the il During the past six months aircargo business has been increasing noticeably after something of slump during the five or so preceding years says Conor Walsh who is cargo manager Canada for British Airways Among the factors contributing to the pick up he said in an interview arc the improve ment in Canadian exports resulting from the dollars decline and governmentsponsored promotional efforts to make more intensive Frances use of giant Mirabcl international airport near Montreal SAVING MONEY On the face of it shipping goods by air may seem an expensive way of getting them to market and it is indeed more economical to use traditional surface methods in many cases Nevertheless air cargo could be money saver as well as timesaver when it is used wisely Here are some of those ways Highvalue goods such as business machinery and computers represent great deal of capital By shortening the time that such goods are in international transit its possible to make substantial savings on fi nance charges Highfashion items lose their value unless they get to market quickly while customer interest is at peak The rag trade is an important user of air cargo Similarly pop records are in demand for relatively short period which must be capitalized upon few years ago the transatlantic flow of pop records was predominantly from Britain to North America but now it has been reversed and the British demand for North American pop auley Everyones grandmother no ones fool friend By GREG MacARTHUR ATLANTA Ga AP Frances Paulcy is the proper combination of everyoncs with me since was old and fat and white headed music on discs has soared Emergency shipments such as com ponent for piece of machinery that is out of service account for about half of all air cargo traffic on the north Atlantic British Airways supersonic Concorde which crosses the Atlantic in three hours and 23 minutes sometimes carries human organs that must be transplanted quickly This has fostered new form of medical cooperation between British and American experts as well as saving number of lives TIM IDSAVER Where great distances are involved air cargo is often indispensable Example Automotive parts manufactured in southern Ontario and destined for affiliated companies in South Africa or Australia For the same reason air cargo is an im portant element in trade with the Middle East By and large the seaports of that region are badly congested because of the rapid pace of industrial development during the 19705 the added cost of shipping by air is of little concern to the wealthy member governments of the international oil cartel Then theres one of the prime commodities of all Horsemeat Thats the largest single commodity shipped by air between Canada and con tinental Europe It accounts for about one third of all air cargo on that route says Walsh of British Airways Many butcher shops in France Belgium and other parts of western Europe specialize in horsemeat look for the golden sign of horses head outside the butcher shop It retails for the equivalent of about $6 pound and most European consumers dont want meat that has travelled by surface and absorbed the sea air The cost of the air shipment adds only about five to seven per cent to the final retail price of the meat and its become major item of revenue in the cargo business of all the scheduled airlines that fly between ple we believe to have questionable politica or religious beliefs gt What are you going to do with that mail inquires Allmand Were going to open it replies the In spector bluntly But isnt that illegal quesions All mand Not really the Inspector responds You see were doing this in the National interest for only the purest of motives so dont worry about any question of illegality Thats reassuring to know Allmand answers Weve also broken into some leftwing political party offices Were rather interested in group that calls itself the Parti Quebecois in Quebec and some guy by the name of Levesque Theyve got some crazy idea that theyre going to take over the political reins in the Province of Quebec Theyre crazy mixedup bunch of people and theres no way theyre going to succeed but were not taking any chances were watching them closely Gee whiz says Allmand excitedly That sounds interesting but isnt it illegal to break into somebodys place Naw the Inspector replies knowingly Were not out to steal anything Were just taking copies of things like lists of names or memos Yuh know stuff like that If they dont have copy then we just photograph the original junk Theres no way were go ing to break the law Good says Allmand wouldnt want you guys to break the law economic olic in Ottawa in the ostwar randmothcr and no ones fool sa Bl her aCllVlsm SlrelChes b30k t0 the days Commissmn

after the Crash of 1929 Newly out of Energy crunch will affect industries here TOKUN IU CP Canadas petrochemical and farm industries face hard times because of the energy crunch industry leaders say Agriculture depends on petroleum products to fuel farm machinery and to provide raw materials for fertilizers herbicides and fungicides Makers of such products as plastic garbage bags bread wrappers or the synthetic fibre in blouse depend on the petrochemical in dustry In turn the petrochemical industry is dependent on crude oil for raw materials Crude oil prices rose $1 barrel in Canada this month and go up another $1 in January But Prime Minister Clark has already in dicated he may accelerate the process to bring Canada more quickly in line with world oil prices Without doubt the crude oil situation will have tremendous impact on the entire food industry says Jim Mayne president of the National Farmers Union anSpecialized cmps such as grain potatoes are mainstays of Canadian agricule tura production They use the most fuel Also livestock industries use lot of fuel especially electricity which in the Maritimcs is petroleumgenerated typical monthlyclectricity bill for Prince Edward Island farm is $200 But just think whats going to happen when the prices really start going up says Mayne Itll be disaster Were just going to have to change our ways of farming he said Or we won be in very good shape in the years to come Mayne said Canada should increasc diversified farming Grain farmers for example could put land into grass and clover which absorb nitrogen from the air and naturally fertilize the soil LIMIT CONSUMPTION He also says the government should have legislation to limit the fuel consumption of farm machinerv That summer Gallant got his first taste of public service working in the department of finance under Mitchell Sharp then department director and later minister of finance and secretary of state for external affairs The decision to spend that summer in Ottawa was second choice for Gallant he had wanted to get law degree and worked for couple of months in MacPhees law firm in Charlottetown in his native Prince Edward Island On June 14 1948 10 days after marrying the former AnnetteLouise Oerras Gallant became permanent public servant It wasnt well thoughtout planned career decision he says now decided upon graduation from Laval that had to find out little bit more about the real world and how to apply the little bit of knowledge had acquired at university was coming to Ottawa thought for few years to get some experience and then go back to the Mantimes It didnt work out that way for Gallant He didnt make it back to the Maritimes he was born in Egmont Bay PEI Until 1971 when he was appointed secretary to the Council of Maritime Premiers Between 1949 and 1971 Gallant worked at the NATO International Secretariat in Paris as deputyhead of the Canadian Mission to the European Communities as secretary of the Economic Council of Canada as director of federalprovincial relations in the depart ment of finance and as deputysecretary to the federal cabinet for federalprovincial relations MANY CHANGES In his years in the public service Gallant has seen many changes the greatest being the growth of the public service in the 19405 and 1950s There was very little before the war says Gallant In the late 19405 and 1950s when government had policies to promote social development of in ividuais to promote economic development to promote health care its basically in that of the public service started and developed quite rapidly Gallant disputes the notion that public service growth is result of bureaucratic empirebuilding Im not even sure that governments in tended the bureaucracies to grow he said period the growth politicians Georgia sheriffs and angry crowds of whites since the 19605 when she first worked with Bond and other young black activists in the early civil rights movement She first did battle against social and economic injustice during the Depression and shes still seeking change working 12 hours day seven days week One of her most recent struggles was to convince state legislators that welfare family of four cant live on $159 month and to try to persuade the rural boys in the legislature not all poor people live in cities Some of those boys think Mrs Paulcy is more effective on the march than in the hear ing room but it doesnt bother her She considered it victory that welfare benefits were even considered When we started nobody knew what AFDC Aid to Families with Dependent Children was she says Now its been an issue Age hasnt slowed her its only given her another weapon use my age she says might as well Its enough of disadvantage as it is just hopeI dont overplay it ARMOR 0F YEARS During her civil rights struggles she recalls shc fared better than thc young people when protests sparked confronizitions The policc didnt know exactly what to do college Agnes Scott Class of 27 math and married to promising landscape ar chitect she fought for free lunches in the schools In the Depression so many children didnt have enough to eat and thought that if they Eopld just get one real meal day it would p3 She met with school principals parents and federal officials and within six weeks we had hot lunches for every school in DeKalb County In the 19405 she became state president of the League of Women Voters and the first thing she did was to strike the whiteonly membership clause from the bylaws HEADEI AMENDMENT She also headed the leagues challenge to proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed state support of private segregated schools She lost the fight but the proposal later was overturned in federal court as were many other laws she challenged unsuccessfully at the state level In the 19505 at the urging of young minister named Martin Luther King Jr she became director of the private nonprofit Georgia Council on Human Relations Its the job that allied her with the civil rights move ment PLENTY OF SIACE The widebodied Boeing 747 which has become the workhorse of international aviation has an enormous capacity for cargo as well as passengers 747 that is fully loaded with about 430 passengers can also lift approximately 20 tons of cargo in its belly depending upon the density of the merchandise For comparison note that British Air ways allcargo version of the Boeing 707 jet can accommodate only about 30 tons of freight with of course no passengers Late next year that airline is taking delivery of Boeing 747 to be used exclusively in cargo service it will have carrying capacity of about 100 tons At this time of year when passenger travel is heavy and industrial activity tends to slacken the airlines serving the North Atlantic probably could carry twice as much cargo as they are actually offered But in the winter when travel is down they come much closer to filling the cargo capacity of the relatively few planes they are flying then Because of this pattern competition is keen The lntemational Air Transport Associ ation IATA the airlines own ratesetting body therefore allows considerably greater

that citys now exorbitant hotels hunt for rich gifts and beautiful women are no longer in European but Arab and Middle Eastern Rather the many exmonarchs of the world most of them from tamer European kin doms had dinner of their own recently in the swank Savoy Hotel single rooms now running at about $100 per day They included exkings whose thrones disap cared very long time ago like former Arch

of Europes great family empires collapse around him at the end of World War One Otto has renounced all his titles and all claims of the Habsburg family to the Austrian throne to return to his familys homeland WAS KING BETTER Umberto of Italy must be wondering why they sent him packing after World War Two 33 years ago Italy has had more than 35 governments better than one year since he left Others with no hope at all include etender to the French royal throne which asnt had monarch on it since 1870 and that was the selfstyled Napoleon III The French claimant belongs to the Bourbons who havent ruled in France since the early nine teenth century All of which brings me to the point that Bourbon of the Spanish branch of the family and from ruling house which has survived them all except the British rules well and comfortably in Spain He is of course the handsome shrewd and as we have found out also wise Juan Cat1031 who was officially crowned in early 1976 its Spains first king since his granifather fled the throne in1931
