conservation program into fuel in the battle of the sexes The Ontario ministry of the environment is and we blush to tell it using symbol of female garbage can with long blackgloved arms and pink girdle to promote waste conservation among school children In an hysterical outburst Lynne Gordon chairman of the Ontario Status of Women Council said It made me ill Its really almost unbelievable to speak about waste and garbage and use that kind of sexist approach of the corset and long eyelashes sexist garbage can Miss Gordon we assume would prefer that symbol of male garbage can with long hairy arms be used That of course wouldnt be sexist at least not by the standards used by the fringe element in the worthwhile drive to have women recognized as people We suggest Miss Gordon concentrate on the real ine quities in the search for equal rights The chances that small children will think of women as garbage cans as result of the campaign are slim But not as slim as the chances of others thinking the Status of Women Council is nothing more than shrewish harridans as result of Miss Gordons outburst down memory lane 10 YEARS AGO IN BARBIE The Examiner July 1967 Wayne Rodgers

development is providing highly satisfactory alternative to the courts in the settlement of commercial disputes Its called arbitration and it depends upon growing number of people blessed with spe cialized knowledge calm demeanor and above all unquestioned impartiality to serve as arbitrators of commercial disputes Once they have established their creden tials professional arbitrators are ready

the arbi trators receive professional fee worked out between themselves and their clients Cases of disputes between insurance com panies and their policyholders are the most common but arbitrators are prepared to deal with wide range of issues from real estate to labor disputes INFORMALITY In arbitration you dont need police court attendants and so on You can hold arbi trations in hotel room an office anywhere says Cedric Barclay past president of the British Institute of Ar bitrators and man whose arbitral skills are in such heavy demand throughout the world that he is seldom at home in London judge is supposed to know nothing and everything has to be explained to him An arbitrator is supposed to know everything He is appointed for his knowledge of his profession He is called in because of his commercial or technical knowledge Very often an arbitrator is five or 10 steps ahead of the parties so you cut down on time on costs on expert witnesses Most disputants Barclay believes want an arbitrator who has stature appears to be of advanced years has been successful in business or the professions has com manding appearance and commands re spect MATURITY HELPS For that reason the Arbitrators Institute of Canada originally stipulated that its mem bers must be over 35 Although that requirement has since been dropped the role of arbitrator nevertheless remains best suited to the mature thoroughly experienced individualwhich is why it often attracts executives of retirement age For example one of the founders of the in stitute and its first president was McGowan who had retired from Foundation Co of Canada Ltd as its president The current president of the imtitute Dr Hickey believes Canada needs about 2000 arbitrators10 times the current num berbased on the experience of the com parable UK and 115 organizations An arbitrators success doesnt depend en tirely on technical qualifications Cedric Bar clay has found One of his secrets of success is to make the disputants feel at home Let them take their coats off Let them smoke Offer them drinkswbut not neces sarin alcoholic Upholdcrs of legal tradition might be up setbut it works IIISINESS 7266537 Roll

MacLEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Yes there is no doubt that Conservative Leader Joe Clark is getting generally horrible press these days but party officials shouldnt despair If the trend persists backlash is inevitable and Clark may yet sweep the country on the strength of sheer sympathy In previous column we were talking about the remarkable aboutface in political public opinion during the last year and perhaps the greatest example of this is in the publicity surrounding Joe Clark year ago while riding high on the post convention crest of personal popularity Clark as the new and youthful leader of the Tories was being given the benefit of every doubt True he still had lot to learn but he was coming along just fine thank you and it would be only question of time before he and his wife Maureen moved in to 24 Sussex Dr While he wasnt saying much about Freda Shinner Karen Atkinson Peggy Chapell Alva La Plonte Elaine Porter Marg Scartt policies there was no pressure on him to do so am not going to develop an instant policy in every area he explained We want study situations to investigate and gradually develop policies that will be realistic His followers understood this The press seemed patient The entire country was un derstanding There was regret when Maureen flunked her law exams there was joy when the Clarks had their first child NOW 1977 That was last year Now it would ap ar the Clarks cant do thing right And ile disagee with those who suggest there is journalistic conspiracy against the Tory leader there is little doubt that he is shouldering more than his fair share of criticism Its extraordinary what has happened says former leader Robert Stanfield think its extraordinary for example the way the press gallery generally has treated Joe Clark the press of course cant do thejob for the leader of the opposition but the press has cer Overpopuation doomsday crisis By JOIIN IIARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service One of those ghastly waves of the future proposed in horror movies futuristic books and alarinist media reports is already here Its not nuclear war nor the end of our energy resources nor environmental pollution so bad we will soon stop breathing None of these Rather it is the breaking out of the population explosion from the Third World where we arrogantly thought it would stay into the United States The first sign of it is the domestic American crisis With the millions of Mexicans illegally reSIdent and working in the US Called the illegals there are an estimated three to six million Mexicans in the US mainly poor workers and many of their families and relatives who have sneaked across the USMexico border Many of them have made the trip more than once having been deported when caught on earl icr attempts only to sneak in again The MeXican influx for which there are not enough controlling agencies either along the USMexican border or in the cities and towns where they settle is result of both MeXicos population explosion and her so verely depressed economy POPULATION CRISIS Mexicos population growth is the worst criSis It means an estimated population of staggering 100 million by the end of the cen tury At present the country has burgeoning population of about 50 to 60 million No one knows its size for sure since millions of rural Mexicans flood to the cities as illiterates and are never recorded as having been born or as recipients from the countrys hardpressed social services Mexico City has grown from an already bloated metropolis of about million in the mid19605 to about 13 million at present Yet Mexico which was one of the first Latin American countries to free itself from the state role of the Roman Catholic Church which still resists all mechanical birth con trol measures has welladvanced state birth control measures These have been increased and assigned larger place in Mexican domestic policy since President Jose Lopez Portillo came to office at the end of last year As an economist he is fully aware that Mexicos declining increase in gross national product and increasing birth rate can reach disaster point of contact where major famines could hit the country US News and World Report in major analysis of the Mexican illegals calls the trend time bomb in Mexico with the possibility that the flow into the US could in crease to above the tenmillion mark if Mexicos population keeps moving upwards The kind of Mexican illegal arrival who makes up the millions is usually the father of toolarge family from four to seven children nonskilled and the first to suffer from Mexicos economic slump He is loath to follow the birth control methods encouraged by the state since like males elsewhere in Latin America he is believer in machismo male proof of per formance in siring many and often unwanted children The Catholic Church in Mexico brings the time bomb even closer by opposing such birth control measures in spite of the ghastly evidence all around this troubled countr of the inability of Mexicans to maintain ir progeny Some futurists as far back as the early 1960s prophesied the first doomsday crisis would be overpopulation Were they

$3650 $39 year $3850 Year flII Possibility of backlash may help Clarks fortunes tainly not been proyecting the Joe Clark that know and that see Some Of the poor press received by Clark has been entirely fair He has spent an inor dinate amount of time away from Parlia ment while Prime Minister Trudeau and his government were attracting jounalistic at tention here Clark also looked decidedly wishywashy during the emotional language dispute among pilots and air traffic con trollers his paty did badly in those byelec tions despite his best efforts and his pro nouncements on nation unity were easily forgotten Furthermore some of his tours have been badly organized And his cacus has been rgctious UNFAIR BLAST Not long ago the Toronto Globe and Mail blasted the Tory leader for allegedly doing nothing Here is Canada in an economic crisis an energy crisis unity crisis lead ership crisis and he Clark has come to grips with none of them It might be pointed out here that Clark is leader of an opposition party not prime minister But some of thc carping about the fledgingv Tory leader goes far beyond this example have even heard radio commentator discuss the way Clark holds his fork at the dinner table And he is still suffering the con sequences of his wife maintaining her maiden name while Trudeaus popularity seems to be soaring because his wife left him And Maureen in burst of frustration while visiting British Columbia managed to get in trouble by using the word crap Dont you recall some of Trudeaus choice ex pressions which never seemed to cause political problems It must be frustrating for Clark who probably has to tolerate more snide remarks and rudeness than any leader in recent history But he shouldnt panic there is bound to be backlash and if the timing is right

suffering By DON OIIEAHN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Minority government as have mentioned here is controversial ques tion Traditionally it has not been considered desirable Then recently of course it has been in con siderable favor in Ontario because of the ap parently good experience we have had with it during the last few years And lot of this experience certainly has been good Government generally has tended to be more closely tuned to the public And par ticularly the legislature as body has had much more stature IT OFFENDS Still with this apparent success un derneath there has been the nagging knowledge that basically minority govern ment offends one of the key principles of our system This is the principle that the responsibility for governing is with govemment and that it stands or falls at the will of the electorate on how it carries out this responsibility And minority goes against this in that it distorts this responsibility principle GETS BLAME This is not so readily evident but at this current session we have been given prime illustration in the issue of closing the English Wabigoon river system to sport fishing Both opposition parties favor this with the government adamantly opposed And it ap pears the opposition will probably win out Where the principle comes in is in the func tional out look of the two sides The opposition parties can and do look on this in terms of local situation and take their positions basically for the good points they see in the ban Beyond this they dont have to worry But the government has to administer not only this ban but the province as whole which means it has much greater con siderations Most pertinently itknows that ban on the EnglishWabigoon is going to have severe impact on the important tourist industry in that part of Ontario But even more importantly it knows that once there is this one ban there will be fur ther demands and probably irristiblc ones for more closings and great blow could be struck to our whole provincewide tourist in dustry And finally of course it knows that come the next election it will be blamed for what ever bad results there may have been from the situation These wont be traced by the public to the opposition So that minority can mean government has to suffer for actions forced on it and which it believes with knowledge are definitely wrong Canadas story Thomson mystery By BOB BOWMAN In 1964 preparing for the centenary 0d Confederation group of Canadian scholars headed by Vincent Massey chose 25 Canadians whose achievements stood out above all others during the century One of those honored was Tom Thomson the fishing guide painter whose work in spired the formation of the Group of Seven Much of Thomsons life is mystery as was his death on July 1917 He was drowned in Algonquin Park Ont where he combined the unusual trades of painter and fishing guide There was no water in his lungs but there was bruise on his head and some cop per wire around one of his ankles Was it murder or suicide The truth may neverbeknown Thomson was born at Claremont Ont in 1877 and spent his youth on farm in the Georgian Bay area including Owen Sound where he went to school He must have shown some aptitude for drawing because he got job with com mercial art firm in Toronto in 1905 where he learned design He came to the attention of leading artists Arthur Lismer and JEH MacDonald who gave him some instruction and encouragement Later he shared studio with Jackson But Thomson disliked being indoors and spent as much time as possible in Algonquin Park where he did mastost sketching we want your opinion Something on your mind Send us letter to the editor Please make it an original copy and sign it We dont publish unsigned letters although pen
