Barrie Chamber of Commerce has finish ed its frvepart local government series and from it some observations can be made One thing that came through in the final session is that people arent getting involved in local government The panelists could not agree upon why We think that major problem is that government is getting too big for the average person to relate to People feel intimidated by the size of groups like Bar rie city council and the county public and separate school boards People who sit on these bodies on the other hand say that not enough members of the public give them input But where does one draw the line between the cozy oldfashioned town council and the kind of government needed fora growing city How large or how small must our governing bodies be for the public to feel comfortable about approaching them Government is changing and thc public must learn to change with it Otherwise it will continue to get further away from the people We hope not letters to the editor

twostorey house that is the cen trcpiccc of the National Home Show in Town to this month Much of the energy for the 54200 square foot house is provided by the sun in com bination with heatpump system Solathcrm Engineering Inc of Mississauga nt claims that the system will provide 47 per cent of the houses space heating 78 per cent of its domestic hotwater healing and all of thc heat needed for the swimming pool attached to the luxury house The suns warmth is gathered by 18 solar collectors mounted on the sloping roof of the all uchcd garage and saved fora rainy day Each collector panel measures three feet by eight fcct and consists of copper absorber plates with grids of copper tubes These panels will collect 64 per cent of the total solar energy used in the house while the heat pump will rcmovc the other 36 per cent indirectly from the ambient air says Solulhcrm WHAT IT USTS The government hasnt put tax on sunlight yet but nevertheless solar energy isnt cheap The installation of the solarheating package on the house at the National Homc Show would cost the homebuyer $17000 more than traditional system The house designed and built by Victoria Wood Development Corp embodies energy soving construction methods ecial in sulation silicone caulking triplcgllrzcd win dows and so on that cost an extra $5600 But the higher capital costs would be offset by lower operating costs within the first dec ade if energy prices continue their upward trend Since 1972 the cost of fossilfuel energy has increased at on annual rutcof l79 per cent If that rule continues Solzrthcrm says the solarenergy urril would pay for itself in about eight years Assuming possibly more realistic l2pcr ccnt rule of increase in conventionalfuel prices in the years ahead then the solar sysftern would take nine years to pay for it scl According to the companys projections of its figures the solar installation would pay for itself four times over in its expected lifetime bible thought The Spirit of

Service TORONTO At least 25 years ago it became evident that it would be in the in terest of good government if de centralization program was started which would see some departments moved out into other areas of the province Ontario was one of the few jurisdictions on the continent which was trying to operate scat of government out of metropolitan cen trc And the adverse effects of this were quite dramatic Living costs tor government employees were high much higher than they would have been in smaller centre Transportation was problem Some em ploycos wcrc spending up to two hours day getting back and forth to work The environment in which to bring up family was not the best or at lcast not nearly as good as in less crowded community And above all there was no strong reason why provincial government had to be centred in Toronto Any advantages were minor There was little of the mechanisms of big city that provincial government required And against this there were many ad vantages particularly in the quality of life and work in having it located elsewhere L001 INDLSTRY Over the ycars leaders of government pon dered this They knew that they were stuck with Toronto There was no way that the whole machinery could be lifted up and moved somewhere else For one thing if all govern ment were to move to another spot it would automatically start almost another metropolitzmcentre But it finally did dawn on them that certain ministries could move out and probably be more efficient Some four years ago study group was quietly set up to explore the many facets of such doccntralization program And there were many facets Which ministries would most easily lend themselves to relocation What would the problems be in transferring civil servants to new com munity and what would their reaction be The study was completed though never released And after reflecting on it the government now has gone into action And as you will have read three steps have been taken The head office of the ministry of revenue involving 750 jobs will go to Oshawa OIIIP involving 900 jobs will be moved to Kingston And new $40 million LCBt involving 100 jobs will be built at Whitby It will be four years before these programs are completed But at least the start is there And hopefully other communities will benefit before too long Government you know is good new in dustry fora town It is placid doesnt pollute is not hit by strikes and the payroll is steady conadas story Huguenots not wanted By BOB BOWMAN One of the mistakes of the French regime was not allowing Huguenots Protestants to come to Canada Some Huguenot colonists had arrived during the reign of Henry IV who gave them certain privileges under the Edict of Nantes of April 13 1598 However it was revoked in 1685 and alter that the Huguenots settled in the United Statcswan estimated 15000 of them If they had been allowed to come to Canada they would have more than doubled the population Many Huguenots left fiance and went to Britain One of them was Gregoire Ligonier who became successful businessman and was able to obtain commissions in the British Army for his two sorts One of them became Field Marshal Lord Ligonicr and commandcrinchief of the Brit ish Army in 1756 He chose Col Jeffrey Amherst as commander of the expedition that captured Louisbourg in 1758 Amherst was promoted to the rank of general He also planned the North American campaign in 1759 and 1760 when Quebec and Montreal were captured So French Huguenot family driven out by Louis XIV played an important part in defeating French military power in North America and marking Canada British It was the Edict of Nantes that made it possible for The Sicur dc Monts to get mo nopol of the fur trade from Henry IV and estabish
