currently observing its 15th anniversary year has been valuable advisor to the government Its research and policy studies seeks to explain collec tive decisionmaking of prime importance in the democratic system For analytical purposes it points out that individuals often are inclined to seek their selfinterest under the rules that constitute the particular incentive system within which they operate This is not to say that most individuals are amoral much less immoral Rather it is to recognize that most of the time most people make their decisions consistent with pursuit of rewards and the avoidance of pun ishments Dealing with public interest council report notes The notion of the public interest is extremely imprecise There exist fundamental disagreements among people which must be resolved through the political process An understanding of the decisionmaking process of government and of how it reconciles these differences is vital to an understanding of the role of government The public interest cannot be simply and objectively defined Too often criticism of the outcome of the govern ment decisionmaking process is no more than an asser tion of our own value judgments about who the gainers andlosers should be Changes in policies of governments are usually intend ed to pursue objectives that command wide support The council report further notes No one would argue that government policies should not reflect changes in the demands of the citizenry But it is essential to keep in mind that in our mixed economy in which many of our common goals are achieved by setting up rules and in centives that influence the decisions of the private sec tor frequent and unanticipated rule changes can have perverse effects The economic council argues that lack of effective policy evaluation can in part be explained by the incen tives and disincentives faced by government officials In calling attention to this aspect the council is trying to encourage better understanding of the background of many government policies In the final analysis for democracy the basic deci sions should be guided by the consensus of the majority opinion This gives the elected members the gigantic responsibilities of keeping in constant touch with consti tuents for guidance to keep ruling cabinets informed about changing public views letters to the editor Time for change Annexation No Dear Sir In 1943 during the Second World War Sim 00 County elected Conservative govem ment from that time to this they have con tinued to elect Conservative government which brought us through the final war years which were most difficult for all concerned They brought us through an education system that consisted of multitude of small school houses system which produced well educated and disciplined students who are now making up the backbone of Simcoe Coun tv They have brought us through traditional family farm life large majority of us know not how to live in Simcoe County other than under Conservative leadership In 34 years the circumstances have chang ed somewhat However the leadership has not and it points it out most obviously in our current sctool systems which are it disgrace to put it mildly School system that one par ty leader has expressed his wish to have abolished change is certainly due No longer do we have traditional family farm life to speak of The younger generation brought up on forms has learned through government pressures brought upon their families that there must be more desirable ways to live and earn it living so there fore are abandoning our farm lands which are On tario culture The Conservative government over the years has guided us into drastic situation where we own two cars colored television set home and none are paid for situation where your son and daughter no longer know what anolhtr Ontario culture is Mother At Home Private individuals in Simcoe County trlonc dole out in excess of $6 million yearly tohclp keep

annexation is going to have on their way of life Do they realize it is the Conservative ad ministration that is forcing annexation on us am afraid not whenl see the support the PC candidate is getting in this riding It is alarming to see how he is avoiding this issue that is so vital Mr Dans at the rally for his candidate here had the temerity to say that his govcrn ment does not influence the OM What then was Darcy McKeoughs letter to the OMB instructing them to set boundaries for an area to accommodate 125000 peoplc To justify this unreal figure Mr McKcough was later reported as saying the government would help Barrie reach this population if necessary Who nccdsit or wants it Such population would mean the end of Lake Si mcoc as vialbc water resource the loss of valuable farm land anti

No stranger in the night By TRAYNOR MCPARLANE It was that time of night when silence is definitely in charge snore probably our ovm awakened us slightly and we turned on our side Sleepily we rearranged both feet and our two knees and settled down to further slumber MLadys hand suddently gripped our left buttock fiercely She hadnt done this in years Eh What Whats up we mumbled pushing back the nightmare that tomorrow was working day Hear that she whispered breathlessly Hearwhat That noise downstairs It sounded like window being raised Couple bears fighting on the front porch thats all Goto sleep It seemed like hours later but actually it must only have been seconds This time it was the right buttock that was gripped again fiercely This was bit much we thought How were we going to explain those bruises at the office in the morning Will you stop doing that When you waken anyone youre supposed to shake them gently by the shoulder There it is again Listen This time it was more of hiss than awhisper Soundcd threatening so we cocked blood shot ear and did as bid Above the noise of the late summer crickets we could hear something downstairs Can bears close windows we thought We barked second longer to confirm the sound and our heart shrieked throbbing no to the overabundance of adrenalin surgingthroughit This time it was the bloodshot head which was raised in the listening position Silence Utter and complete Its probably the house settling down for quiet night we offered But no There was more sound and this time much more ominous and closer The stairs were creaking Now we know that when bears climb stairs they the bears tend to wheeze But whatever was creeping up those 14 steps to our love nestwasnt wheezing We jumped up and stumbled over an empty clothes basket to the bedroom door As we looked up frorn the floor we met the wide eyes of our intruder It was Our Youngest She stood there shivering from the night air in nightgown Shed been sleeping in tent with her girl friend both 11yearsold had become scared and decided to come home the hard way through the laundry room window Didnt wanna waken you she said We pounded the floor with our bare fists Canadas story Separatism is not new By BOB BOWMAN Quebec appears to be Canadas most separatist province but there have been similar movements elsewhere Since Confederation there have been separatist movements in British Columbia Manitoba and twice in Nova Scotia British Columbia threatened to secede from Canada in 1374 when building of the promised transcontinental railway was dcltrycd In this there as so much dissatisfaction in Mnnitobtr that it Farmers Protective Union was lormtd to try to get better deal from Ottawa number of its members were in la vor of scctding from Canada and joining the United States The movement collapsed be cause of their extreme views Nova Scotia had two separatist movemen ls perhaps stronger than that in Quebec to day Joseph Howe was responsible for the first antl the legislature passed an address to the Queen in March 1868 asking that Nova Scotia be allowed to seced On June Colonial Secretary the Duke of Buckingham notified Nova Scotia that permission had been refused by the British government Joseph Howe then doublecrossed his colleagues and joined Sir John Mac donalds Conservative government in 0t tawa The next secession movement in Nova Scotia was in 1886 when WS Fielding used the issue to lead the Liberals to victory in provincial election However he did nothing more aboit it after he became premier although there was no doubt that most of the people were in favor bible thought Behold ye among the heathen and regard and wonder marvellously for will work work in your days which ye will not believe though it be told you Habakkuk 15 Could this
