7266537 Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited See you in September Ald Gord Mills has way with words Municipal politics Mills told Barrie city council Monday night is dull and interesting Its true great deal of council work is routine And routine work goodness knows can get you down But we also know that much of what COLIIICIl says and does is important even controversial to the public at large Its true that more people should take an interest in local government particularly at voting time But without the local issues that surface at council we would have lot less to talk about and examine in our daily lives And that would be boring The irrepressible alderman for ward should worry least about council being dull Indeed if anyone has put some spice into council over the past year its Ald Mills We wish the entire council good month away from coun cil responsibilities during the August break After busy year theyve earned month off We hope they all have good rest and return full of vim and vigor in September Good times gone Canadians are finally realizing the good times are drawing to close With American President Jimmy Carter saying and acting as if the prophesized recession is not only immi nent but unavoidable even the best must feel their optimism waning Across the country people seem resigned to believing we are doomed nation our oil will be gone by the centurys end our fresh water polluted with acid and phosphates our economy crippled by unemployment and inflation But are these really the times that try mens souls or are we over reacting Theres still lot to be thankful for in this country and there doesnt appear to be any real loss in the standard of liv ing enjoyed by most in Simcoe County During the last three weeks the beaches in the area have been dotted with bathers sunning themselves people scoffing ice cream guzzling pop and splashing suntan lotion over their bodies Certainly these are not people with the weight of the world on their shoulders Times are difficult today probably little more difficult than they were few years back but theyre not that bad After your day of fun and frolic on the beach or at the cot tage dont go back to work this Monday thinking of believing the soothsayers gloom and doom predictions Rather go back thinking of the good things we have and how by working hard conserving our resources and spending wisely we can continue to have them Life was never bowl of cherries but it isnt the pits either By VINCENT EGAN Business and onsumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Before you hit the road this summer whether for weekend trip or an extended holiday take extra precautions against breakin while youvre away This is favorite season of burglars homeowners are more likely to be away than at any other time of the year and if they are at home they may well have left their win dows open to catch breeze Burglars obviously prefer the easiest jobs the ones offering the least risk Your goal therefore should be to put some clear deterrents or obstacles in their way Lights are one example but if you leave the same light on and only that light for two or three weeks its tantamount to an ad vertisement that nobody is home Thwart the burglars by plugging in one or more electric timers which cost around Sit that will turn on lights and radio in the early evening and turn them off around bedtime thus making your home look and sound oc cupied Its best to use two or more of these timers staggering the on and off times But if you must leave light on constantlv it should probably be the bathroom light tEven when you are at home and asleep its not bad idea to leave this light on and the bathroom door ajar as way of discouraging burglars Take lesson from the ancient Romans we want your

workload and youll almost invariably hear the same lament They are having troubles with the Work mens Compensation Board Year after year the WCB of all govern ments arms and agencies has topped MPPS grumble hit parade And now the board is back in the limelight before the legislatures select committee on the ombudsman Complaints about government bureaucracy taken to the ombudsman are usually satisfac torily resolved without much hassle but in few cases the ministry or agency concerned has rejected the ombudsmans view Seven such issues went before the select committee where they received unanimous support from the multiparty membership of four Conservatives threc Liberals and three NDRREAL PROBLEM Six of them dealt with Workmens Com pensation Board decisions By JOHN IIARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania has positive and impressive image in the West created to large degree by European and North American intellectuals journalists and politicians in continent of brutal corrupt and murderous hciids of state Nyerere is por traycd by them as enlightened and even licnigli crlaiiily he cannot be compared to Zaircs lrcsidint Mobutu

frustrations in letter he wrote while back to cabinet minister It is literally impossible for me to provide effective representation for the many injured workmen in my riding This means that in my constituency to say nothing of the other 124 MPPs con stituencies honorable and deserving people who have made valuable contributions to our labor force are literally suffering at the hands of their government am daily witness to their extreme mental anguish and financial distress When moderate like ONeill writes so think what the WCBs harshest critics are saying MODEL AGENCY And yet all the evidence indicates the WCB is in the words of minister formerly responsible for it model an archtype for compensation agencies The only place it is not so recognized is in Ontario The WCB does handle

lesssavory African leaders PAY lNlNlERESl THE MORE YOU CAN DEDUCI ON YOUR Workmens Compensation still tops grumble hit parade Most of it quickly and judiciously It is the exceptions that make MPPs angry at the board In part this is problem of changing times The WCB 50 years ago would have laughed at the idea of compensation for industrial disease as opposed to industrial accident NEW LINE Today it is commonplace but by the very nature of slowacting industrial disease ex ceedingly complex The question is where does one draw the line on the cause of say cancer What the select committee did when they made their recommendation to the House which was endorsed there was reject the WCB viewpoint in six compensation cases It is voice the WCB is going to have to heed Labor minister Bob Elgie made it plain in letter to the WCB that it should not ignore the views of legislators If the board still held firm to its position then Elgie suggested that the issue be raised with him personally before any final decision is made For MPPs of all parties its good news week Tanzanias Julius Nyerere retains impressive image His military invasion of Uganda which overthrew the brutal Idi Amin regime won him world support But months later his army is still in Uganda which has become Tanzanian colony It is wellknown throughout East Africa that Nyerere played strong personal role in the unseating of former Ugandan President Lule who held office for only 68 days after Amins departure He directly interfered in the overthrow of the leaders of two new Indian Ocean island republics the Seychelles and Comoro islands Nyereres closing of road traffic between Tanzania and Kenya and through highway freight traffic between Kenya his country and Zambia is creating great economic diffi culties with his two neighbors They are also his staunch allies in the guerrilla war against ZimbabweRhodesia LARGE NEW ARMY Finally in country whose socialist farm economy is failing and which cannot meet its international debt commitments Nyerere has built up an army of 60000 the third largest in black Africa Prime Minister Clark must tred warin when he meets Nyerere and reject any new appeals he

eyes and blond hair sparkle in the sunshine and when he laughs he shows his fathers smile After awhile he lies puffing and panting on the grass giggling and grinning his face beetroot red In an area nearby other children play on the swings and hang from the monkey bars only too happy to enjoy the summer On the way to the small variety shop to get drink he talks about his school He can name the dinosaurs what they eat multiply spell write and read He is going into Grade in September and likes school At home he reads plays quietly or watches Battlestar Galactica on television Crossing the read he looks both ways and asks about holidays Where are we going How long will we stay Can we swim there Are there bears How will we get there Once at the store he takes popsicle rather than pop Chocolate because it is the best flavor He breaks it in half because it lasts longer and is more fun to eat In the park again he laughs and runs to hill where he throws himself down and wat ches the world Trickles of melting popsicle run down onto his hands as the sun melts it faster than he can eat it but it doesnt mat ter its all in fun After awhile he gets up and is off again laughing running puffing anti panting The soccer ball is still bouncing the sun is still up and on summers day theres nothing better to do Later when hes in bed you realize theres never enough time to spend with him Fathers are like that Soiis Theyll always belong to the sun bouncing balls melting popsicles and summer until they smile Interpreting the news US dollar still slipping WASHINGTON iI Despite signs that another dollar massacre might be developing the revamped Carter adminis tration is rejecting any new program to prop up the value of CS currency on world mar kets The US dollar has been steadily slipping for the last two months to level less than three per cent above its low of last Oct 30 which resulted in dramatic $30 billion inter national rescue opcration on Nov At the end of October the US dollar was valued at only 7414 cents when measured against 13 other currencies Its value now is about 76 cents and likely would be lower except for efforts by the Swiss and West German central banks to support it On Monday William Miller Federal Reserve Board chairman said no new rescue efforts are planned He left analysts worried that the pattern of last October might be repeated Like the dollar slump last fall this one is mainly result of Carter administration eco nomic policies By holding down interest rates while inflation rates rosc last year the administration left markets confused about economic direction When wage and price guidelines were announced late in October without any ac companying move to higher interest rates the dollar fell It took the $30billion rescue worked out in conjunction with several Eu ropcan govornments to arrest the slide This time uncertainty about energy policy is contributing to the problem Banks and corporations arcnt holding dollars any longer than absolutely necessary putting further pressure on the currency Carters nationally televised address July 15 promising stringent energy conservation and massive synthetic fuels production scheme failed to stabilize the dollar Instead the dollar has continued to weaken SKEITHAI RECEPTION The presidents energy proposals already are receiving skeptical reception in Congress and his subsequent cabinet shakeup raised more doubts In some European countries the shakeup was incorrectly inter preted as the collapse of the government rather than reorganization Analysts said Carter removed major individual bulwark for the dollar when he accepted the resignation of Michael Blumen thal the treasury secretary While Miller is seen as good replacement he doesnt have the rapport with central bankers in other countries that Blumenthal had One big question was answered Wednesday when the White House confirmed Carters choice of Paul Volcker president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to take over as Federal Reserve chairman from Miller The position is about equivalent to governor of the Bank of anada but is enormously in fluential because of the ability of its holder to shape US economic direction Canadian policymakers have major interest in watching the 18 dollars future bible thought For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost Luke I9 10 Here
