MacLaren Ltd and Diamond Planners Ltd firms doing study of the Barries downtown core say annexation could create caroriented city which would favor suburban shopping centres The suburban shopping centres in the annexed area say the consultants could be the deathknell of downtown Barrie The consultants suggest better access to downtown Barrie by car from the southeast Their reasoning is that if it is easy to get to downtown Barrie from what is Innisfil Township then development of major shopping centre will be discouraged It may take more than new road to solve the problem Barrie City Council faces tricky dilemna Council now has to produce an official plan for the an nexed area While it is producing the official plan it must keep in mind that the people living in the annexed area did not want to become part of Barrie Now they are part of Barrie their wishes as express ed in the Innisfil Township plan to remain primarily agricultural turned down by the Ontario government Barrie annexed the land to get more space for in dustrial expansion City Council will doubtless want to put industries in the annexed area as well as residential developments and that means commercial areas And there is the basic planning principle of keeping dustrial and residential areas separated by commercial areas Is the annexed area to be primarily industrial and residential with no commercial Maybe that would let City Council off the hook with downtown core businesses which would not face the possibility of competition from the annexed area But what about the people in the annexed area Can city council come up with an official plan which will keep the annexed area primarily agricultural as the people now living there want and add industrial and residential uses without adding commercial uses City Councils dilemna Whos going to get the short end of the stick the peo ple in the annexed area or the downtown core down memory lane Oct 28 1952 Wager general manager of Lufkin Rule Co of

Analyst Thomson News Service The more things change the French are fond of saying the more they stay the same That may be true up to point But where federal budgets are concerned the change is usually for the worse Theres certain fascination then in come paring the first budget of the Trudeau cabincts new finance minister Jean Chretien with the first Trudeau budget ever That first budget was brought down Oct 22 1968 just six months after Pierre Trudeau took over from Prime Minister Lester Pear son We should not delude ourselves into thinking the choice is between either policies of fiscal

inflation would precipitate the kind ot economic disruption in which unemployment would surely increase and we would end up with more of both evils BOTH BARKELS Nevertheless we have ended up with more of both evils unchecked inflation and uncm ploymentwas well as economic disruption like Mother used to make lnflation nine years ago stood at 33 per cent in the meantime is has touched 12 per cent and today is at 84 per cent and rising Unemploymcnt 48 per cent of the labor force nine years ago is today 83 per cent and also on the increase budget deficit of $075 million was forecast by Edgar Benson for 1968 flit Jcan Chretien anticipates deficit ttotal fi nancial requirements of $85 billion in 1977 78 and still higher the following year in Chretiens budget speech which for some obscure reason thc finance minister prefers to call statement on the econ omy he said do not want temporary surge which cannot last and which will start the process of inflation all over again But do want sustained growth of between five and six per cent in order to bring unem ployment steadily down NO SOLUTIONS After nine years of Trudeauism where are the balanced economic solut ions What has happened to the concept of price stability and why was it replaced with an ac ceptance of reasonable inflation tas variously defined according to political expediencc Where are the new jobs that were to be created in depressed regions with tax money that was often skimmed off by foreign hit andrun entrepreneurs And where is the more productive work for ce that was supposed to have been developed by lowering the educational standards so that young people would stay longer in the educational system and come out better prepared to work UN It seems you made statement recently It theres somebody around who can do

Tivil Aviation rganiuition in Montreal need big funds to function The sources of PLO funding are many not the luist of which is the moncy it secured from hijacking operations The kingpin in its game of airborne terrorism was the 25 million paid in ransom by Saudi Arabia and Iran for the release of 81 hostages from the major raid on meetings of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting ountries in Vienna That was in December 1975 it is speculated the funds were distributed between Carlos the Veneuiclanborn su perlcrrorist and various PLO agencies The more recent hijacking by the Japanese Red Army resulted in surrender to their demands for funds and hostagcs by the Japancsc government and the handing over of $0 million all in US bills The East African iiijacking this time by terrorists of

organization of fcdayccn rcfugcc camps small busincsscs in Lebanon and Syria land holdings and it is believed largc dabbliiigs in the world money markets The PLO also pays pensions to the widows and families of soldiers killed in the struggle against lSliltl and of terrorists killed in bi jackingatlcmpts in addition there is large diaspora of PLO intellectuals economists and bureaucrats working throughout the Arab and Western world who contribute to the fun ds of the PM lhid diaspora is identical to that of the Jewish people around the world before lllf formation of the state of lsracl in May I948 But why the large cash demands from other terrorist outfits whose membership is small and who have no firm basis for their ac tivities and demands as do the PLO There are perhaps no more than 200 mem bers of thc Japanese Red Army the terrorist outfit that iiijacked jet few weeks ago and forced the Japanese government to give in to their demands And the llaadcrMciiiiiof gang from West Germany is even smallcr and temporarily impotent with their three leaders as suicide victims We dont know the answer Is it possible all the worlds terrorist groups arc intcrrclatcd in subterranean ways and that the dcmands for funds rcprcscnt sonic common piirposc No clues in the throne speech about dealing with problems legislation And this time when she opened the current session one would have expected the government to give her something to say to her national television audience But it was more like an extension of her earlier speech to the nation from Rideau Hall SAM MESSAGE The union of nation must be found in the human spirit she said greater willingness to sacrifice so that others may have chancc to take less so that others may have enough all these are in the realm of the spirit Prime Minister Trudeu could not have said it better himself About the most specific thing in the entire speech was this paragraph com prehensive policy for official language mi noritics will be announced and initiatives will be taken to ensure its full im plementation within federal institutions And although short on specifics perhaps the most significant paragraph referred to proposals relating to the Constitution of Canada The govemment hopes for con stitutional review in which Canadians will have an opportunity express their viewpoints We may confidently expect that from that process may emerge at new federalism that will receive the support and the devotion of anadians everywhere It would be nice to hwr more about this But instead we were treated to the obvious and bet even the Queen was getting tired of hearing about what wonderful country she was in LUCKY US Few countries are as blessed as Canada where wealth of freedom and of this worlds goods is apparent for all to see Perhaps only those who have come here from less fortunate lands can appreciate to the full the great good fortune of living in country so favored by nature and so enriched by its cultural diver sity We have it seems vigorous democracy enormous strength and astonishing diversity Within the Commonwualth our influence is growing as an advocate of human dignity justice and cooperation And it was re assuring to know that we have government which dedicates itself profoundly to the rediscovery of the spirit of unity Oh we do have our problems and these were recognized for the umptccnth time in the throne speech The rights of our native people must be protected we must do something about chronic unemployment in the Atlantic provinces and certainly all that general unemployment now constitutes very serious obstacle to economic growth Presumably something will be done about these nagging annoyances But we didnt get any cities from the throne speech When the answers are forthcoming they will come as nice surprise just hope the gtwernmcnt remenilwrs to tell the Queen She must be rather curious af ter wading so courageoust through that philosophic dissertation on the state of our nation noninsertion of any advertisement beyond the amount paid tor such advertisement not unique By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO There certainly has been no comfort about anything concerning the Sud bury situation and lnco Ltd The nickelmine layoffs in city that is oneindustry community is in every sense near disaster All of sudden substantial portion of the workforce of the city will be unemployed And though there will be some income in the way of unemploymentinsurance benefits the income of the community will be drastically cut down And this means that merchants the whole business community and also the social com munity such as churches will be hit FACE UP But as with everything the Sudbury crisis has some contribution to make In all the despair of the situation there is one constructive point This is that it has made us think It has made government industry labor and society at large face up to situation it has made them appreciate that com munity has been drastically hit and just how helpless we are at present in coping with this race ON The point is that Sudbury will not in any way be unique We are at climactic stage in our social development in the world We are at point where we have to cope with technological advance Automation and technology have advanced to the point where manual work is declining It could be ex ceedingly doubtful whether we will ever again have jobs to provide full employment on the basis of fiveday week To the bystanding observer this has been increasingly obvious for some time But pre occupied as they are with immediate con cerns it has not really struck government in dustry or society generally Sudbury however has presented them with the problem face on They have to suddenly try and conceive how this new situation can be met And so finally we have direct con frontation with new stage in our society Whatever comes out of it in the way of an answer and it certainly wont be an overall solution should be carefully observed for it will be the first step in the next stage in our industrial and social development Canadas story Schools issue By BOB BOWMAN One of the hottest issues in Canadian history came to boil on Oct 28 1891 when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Manitoba Separate Schools Act was uncon stitutional The question was sent to the British Privy Council but was not settled until 1897 when Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier managed to bring about compromise agreement In the meantime the long reign of the Conservatives since 1878 had become casualty of the struggle When Manitoba became province in 1870 the agreement with Louis Riel included equal rights for the French language and separate schools However in the next 20 years so many Englishspeaking persons from other parts of Canada Britain and the US plus lcelanders Ukranians and others came to Manitoba that Frenchspeaking rsons were minorit The use of the Frenc language in the legis ature was abolished and the act created uniform system of non denominational schools This led to political clash that found the Conservatives supporting Roman Catholics in Manitoba because they had made the original deal with Louis Riel The Liberals supported the government of Manitoba because education was pmvincial responsibility ironically the Conservatives were led by Sir Mackenzie Bowell former Grand Master of the Orange Order while the Liberals were led by Wilfrid Laurier Roman Catholic Prime Minister Bowel got into so much trouble with his own party that seven cabinet ministers resigned and he had to give way to Sir Charles Tu per who came back from Britain to take leadership of the party The Liberals won the general election that followed and Prime Minister Laurier ar ran ed the compromise that retained the pub ic school system but permitted in struction to be given in the langua of the majority of children attendin eac school Special provision was also ma for religious instruction OTHER OCT 28 EVENTS 1790Nootka convention ended Spains claims to Pacific coast lastLarge group of Cape Breton citizens emigrated to New Zealand ismConfederation delegates
