Ontario LAM 4T6 Ello Agostini publisher ADVERTISING 7266537 CLASSIFIEDS 7282414 Why the delay on annexation Barrie spent roughly $250000 to get parts of Innisfil and Vespra under its control After seeminglyendless round of OMB hearings and court appearances Barrie got what it wanted On Jan Barrie is supposed to take control of parts of Innisfil and Vespra The average ratepayer would expect Barrie City Hall to be hive of activity with municipal servants planning the takeover to the last detail The average ratepayer would of course not be sur prised to learn that City Hall is in fact hive of lethargy as far as annexation is concerned Innisfil and Vespra have the easy job On Jan they just stop providing services to their former possessions But whatfipr instance are the garbage collection days in Barries possessions Has any work been done to set up garbage pickup routes What about snow clearing How many extra miles of roads are being added to snow clearing routes in the an nexed areas Can the city works department handle the extra work without having to buy more equipment What about tax bills Do township residents in the an nexed areas start paying their taxes to Barrie Jan Or is an arrangement being set up for residents in the an nexed areas to continue paying tax bills to the townships with the townships passing the money along to Barrie The Ontario Municipal Board wielder of the shotgun in this marriage suggested that there be negotiations to phase tax increases over period of years to bring an nexed residents to the level now enjoyed by Barrie residents Has any work been done on these negotiations On the plus side there is the work done by Barrie Police Chief Earl Snider and Barrie Fire Chief Jack McAllister Both have told Barrie City Council what they want and why Council so far has given up no sign of do ing anything about their requests The OMB can take some of the blame for the lack of planning The OMB decision really did nothing more than say Barrie could have some Innisfil and Vespra land The vague OMB decision has made it difficult for Bar rie But the OMB did say Jan 1978 is An xation Day So why has so little been done Reacts with rage Dear Sir It seems that those Barrie Aldermen who endorsed Travelways blatant contravention of the citys zoning bylaw have little respect for the law and by extension little respect for themselves as law makers react to this hypocrisy with rage Rae Crossman 189 Toronto Street Corrects facts Dear Sir wish to correct few facts in the article The Sorting Scene by Ken Walls in The Examiner of

Gallery Owen Sound Joan Le Boeuf and Joan Danast received awards for painting and Stepnlitiii for his sculpture Square Dancers It is very unfortunate that the city of Bar rie still does not have

Parliament have had field day in embarrasng thc Government by exposing the fact that ii spy network cxists in fanndn presumably sallCllOIltd by the Government and that it would appear to be brunch ol the RCMP The majority of thc Canadian public having now found that it is more than mcrc idle speculation that thc RCMI have been carrying out illegal surveillance activities in Canada seem to have adopted the rather im mature attitude that they havc either been misled or led down the proverbial gurdcn path by the Government In actuallity Royal Commission on security in Canada recommended in 1969 that Canada required civilian security lorce to carry out domestic intelligence work Like most Royal Commissions thc rcconi mendation was not followed Instead the government appears to have ut the RMI to work in carrying out intc ligcncc without revealin this information to the Canadian people rough Parliament and enacting tlic necessary legislation Quite conceivably had the governmcnl ill tempted to pass the legislation for the lypc of security force that every major powcr and some not so major have in this world then would have been such hue and cry from the Opposition that we would probably still be hearing the cat calls in our Parliament to this day It was quite wrong for the govcmmcnt to initiate this type of activity in the manner that it did and of course the government is suffenng from that impropriety as result What the government tried to do however was correct in my opinion If we are to be in position to counteract terrorism in our count the kidna pin of diplomats and or the kil ing of publ of icials we must have an adequate surveillance force that can hopefully prevent this type of activity before it happens When legitimate mail is opened and legal political Karly offices are bugged there is terribly ne ine between what is proper or improper in surveillance and undercover work and unless and until there is legislation to cover this type of activity then we as country cannot nor should we tolerate it In the meantime lets not turn the RCMP Into political football or make the force the fall guy for the errors that the politicians made in the first place

Eastern Europe where host of satellite states chafe under continuous military occupation by the Soviet Union and in he former inde endent republics of the Baltic states now in egrated po ltical units

where should the line be drawn But if there is valid reason to suspect treason or subversivc activities then the authorities must make every reasonable cf fort to discover whats going on Burning bar us may well be going fix fair but infiltrating subversive groups is not If you have nothing to hide why be afraid personally believe that trying to break up our county is treason and treason in war

supplies and technical aid are primarily repeat versions of the way Western European colonial empires acted in Africa at the turn of this century But in the late 20th century such um brellas involve contemporary sharing of naval and military power and the advanced technology of our time Where Imperial Germany dispatched cruiser of the Kaisers navy in 1904 to in timidate Morrocan ruler into territorial distribution between Germany and France the USSR moves in modern equipment and supplies to make possible the emergence of yet another Marxist African nation Angola is case in point where in de ndence under Marxist president would no have taken place the way Moscow wanted it without major Soviet assistance What we today style client states of an imperial power exist with vengeance within the USSRs neocolonial African system Guinea Somalia and Mozambique are all Marxistoriented black republics of mixicrn Africa This is much more conclusive develop ment than for example the overriding British military and imperial administration which chafed the Egyptians earlier in this century The new African states are permitted to emer as new states in their own right with eir

By BOB BOWMAN Louis Riel was hanged at Regina Nov 16 1885 It was black day in Canadian history out the consequences could not be seen at that time Confederation had helped to bring some unity between Englishand Frenchspeaking Canadians Riels execution opened old woun ds and they have never healed At times they have crippled progras Riel was pronounced guilty of treason Aug 1885 and sentenced to be hanged Sept 18 The outcry was so great even from outside Canada that the execution was postponed three times while doctors examined Riel to see if he could be declared insane Then he could have been put in an as lum and the course of Canadian political would have been far smoother Unfortunately the doctors decided Riel knew what he was doing Riel himself on the gallows said Do not fear shall not shame my friends or rejoice my enemies by dying c0ward The thoughts of passing my life in an insane asylum or penitentiary fills me with terror and can accept death with joy and gratitude An effort was made to rescue Riel from prison in Regina Sir John Macdonald may have been behind it After the Red River uprising in 1870 Macdonald was sa ing publicly Where is Riel wish couldylay my hands on him Privately he was sending money to Riel and urging him to escape to the US which he eventually did There is story that the North West Moun ted Police guards were supposed to turn their hacks for few minutes while Riel was taken from prison and raced to the border on hor seback The scheme fell through when one of Riels enemies heard about the plan and gave the alarm The prison guards were not able to cooperate This story is denied by the RCMP successors to the original NWMP The hangman was an enemy of Riels As be fastened the noose around Riels neck he whispered Do you know me Louis Riel It is

tCPl One of the most im portant monetary decisions of President Car ters first ouryear term involves stubborn 72yearold economist who for eight years has presided over the US money supply Arthur Burns term as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board expires Jan 31 Whether Carter keeps Burns as chairman oras mast US commentators predicthe appoints new chairman the president will have sensitive task Burns key adviser to former presidents Eisenhower and Nixon has become symbol of fiscal conservatism hero to the business vmrld but bete noire of Democrats and other groups that want expansionary policies As head of the board he makes decisions on the money supply interest rates and other key banking issues that affect the US economy Even if Carter appoints new chairman Burns could continue having some input in such matters since he is entitled to remain member of the sevenman board un til 1984 His replacement as chairman by com parative liberal might further erode the shaky confidence of business investors on whom the White House must depend for economic grewth AVOID INFLATION Virtually immune from presidential orders in his dependent post Burns has been working continuously to slow the growth in the US money supply and thus ease in flation He has been succeeding so well in slowing money growth that White Heuse officials comp ain his restrictive policies are too severe and are undercutting their attempts at economic expansion Burns most obvious victory came last spring when Carter cancelled ans for $50 tax rebate plan that Burns fought in public testimony before Congress Since then Burns has continued to use public platforms for his economic con servatism message calling for tax cuts for businesses and lamenting the tendency of em ployees to increase absenteeism SPOKE TO HOUSE In June Burns told House hearing that Carter had not tried to interfere in Federal Reserve Board matters because the president respects the boards independence and probabl because he knows that there is no way of ac icving any result by that route His prescri itions are firm and consistent make antiii lation measures the first eco nomic priority reduce federal deficits
