Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Slaigbt General Manager TUESDAY MARCH 11 in Puo Be Careful With Spelling Under PropoSed Reforms We iiistinktivly shrink from any chaenj in what iz familyer and whot vken be mor tamiluar dhan de form av words dhat we hav seen and rlten more tlehz dhan we ken possibly estimaet This sentence we would think is sufv ficient to convince most people that ra dical reform of English spelling is not to be desired The quotation comes from re ort on the subject Reforming Eng gt its Spelling to the Canadian Confer ence on Education held in Montreal early this month The English language is looked upon as something more than phonetic because the spelling of many words indicates the root from which they come and there fore helps to make their meaning under standable Pointing out there are objections to proposed radical changes from scientists the report states New terms are coined largely from Latin and Greek elements They are written forms and properly they have no pronunciation An attempt at phonetic spelling would be an arti ficial thing It would obscure the mean ing of the word by destroying the ac customed appearance of the constituent elements and would bring no compensat ory advantage Prepared by committee headed by Prof Christopher Dean of Queens Uni versity there was an effort to be objec tive the committee presented the main arguments put forward for and against spelling reform but took no stand itself on the issue We are not great arguments in favor Forgot 3116de When the Parliament Buildings in It impressed by the are more incliir tawa burned down in the winter of 1910 the only part of tinl Structure to escape the fire was the Pa Library On the day after the fire ably to keep out sightseers who might not have been averse to borrowing hook or two the RCMP was requesth to station guard outside the lil About 20 years later it occurred to to late Woods worth to ask in the House one tiny why there was Mountie on patrol oi dc the Library Parliament iivc then inister of Justice the Hi lion Ernest pointc said he did not but would inquire and reply on the following ti But the question Is um in the House Ier quiry Mr Lapointe worth and asked as favor arr1 embarrassment if the matter could be dropped It see that the Mountie was still doing lih simply because no government al had remembered to tell the poll headquarters that the emergency was over and the constable could be returned to his regular duties This is only one of the grimly humor ous items in an article by Robert Mc Keown telling of waste in government spending Mr McKeown writes of time past but the story is little changed in time present according to the report just tabl hm ed to take seriously those againstwbich include continued need for revisions of eilln as pronunciation changes throng the years and confusion which would result from different forms of spoken English in different countries and even in different regions of the same country Words are recognized not only by their sound but also by their ap earance What is going to happens to osa who are ca ab of photographic reading of Englis as at present written by persons who are unusually competent in the arts and sciences Purely phonetic spelling would to these people be nothing less than an abomination The word automobile may be taken as an example of what the proposed spellin corruption would do The word stems from the French and describes mobile vehicle which can move auto matically We suppose under the new sys tem the word would be spelled ortomo heel The very fact that the spelling of many English words follows their original roots is an education in itself To our mind it seems that to make them purely phonetic would destroy much of their meaning Even Sir James Pitman originator of phonetic shorthand system and staunch advocate of spelling reform said in de bate ln the British House of Commons English spelling is misleading but it is not all that misleading One does not fail to be carried along by the context English spelling has survived virtually unchanged for over 200 years and the language has achieved worldwide import JllCD For 20 Years ed in the louse of Commons by the Auditor 3cueral For instance high epccd id tunnel that was started seven help build the Avro Arrow at finished and cost has multi om an estimated $3750000 to s7531000 at last report Another item concerns an army corporal who to ro moiu cc iomy and efficiency was ret ed romp rily three months prior to the end of his elevenyear enlistment period if he had filled out his time he would liac received $2031 in pension contribu tion but because he was fired he was antcd an immediate life annuity of 65 and $856 thereafter with of $27000 Then there was the government building changed during construction from twostorey to one storr at an extra cost of $20000 And the vi servant who received $8134 in halfpay during two years of university construction then resigned to become professor In his article Mr McKeown notes that it is difficult to supervise efficiently any big business and he adds today the federal government is an enterprise that makes all others seem small There is also the fact that in private business un government there is chain of com mand worrying about waste and an an nual

OTTAWA REPORT SPRING THEW Battle Of Mud May Be Developing By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWAWill the 1962 cloc flnn he The Battle of the Mud The campaign was opened long ago on the floor of Parlia ment and across the country But no opposition party has yet been able to isolate single complaint against the Dicten baker government which the public will accept as major election issue At this time of unprecedenh etily high wages and govern ment policies which assist the former us never before the NDP in desperation tried neu trolism as an issue This flopped so then the NDP glee fully seized Prime Minister Diefenbakcrs suggested issue free enterprise versus social ismE But the NDP realized too late that this is the noose in which it will hang itself Recent byelections in Ontario have clearly shown thatCanadas wellheeled union members do not want political movement to stamp its supporters as permanently inferior al class The housewives of Tor onto for example did not like to be told you are working class family so you should vote for the working class candi date and as the votes re vealed they rcbellcd at the bal lot boxes against the NDP can vasaera YEARS BAN FEARS The Liberals first tried to make unemployment an issue Tory times are hard times cried the Liberal dnomsten and gloomaters But the public knows that the recession start ing in 1056 was the child of the Liberal government °thcn in power not the creation of tho Diefenbaker government which took office one year later This fact was established by the rev elation that early in 1957 the Liberal government was warned byila economic advis era that Canadas economy was headed seriously downhill But to assist their cause in the 1957 election the Liberals hid that secret report from Calla titans 11 3531 TO wow

jam SENHAL FACTS Besides with more Canadians working now than ever before at unprecedentedly high over age wages the electors are well aware that record number of 430000 new jobs were created in the first four years of the Diefenbaker government This is for more than the 267000 new jobs created under the Li berals even in the 1051 1055 boom caused by the Korean War and more than the 310000 new jobs available unrier the Liberals in the postwar recon veraion boom of 10401050 Next the Liberals tried vainly to inflate the Coyna affair into an election issue But tax payers felt little sympathy for their employee who was seek ing lifetime pension of $25 000 year at age 51 and the voters recalled longago news paper accounta of disagree merits between the government and Coync which would have led to his removal much earlier by less patient government Next the Liberals tried to make an issue of our trade with Cuba The Tories are selling dynamite to éha Communists screamed Li cral spokesmen But that fizzled quickly when it was revcnled that it was Liberal government in 1954 which had removed powdered dynamite from the list of banned strategic exports be cause it is used in road con struction arid the like and has been superseded by more pow erful explosives for warfare So now in desperation having failed to find an effective ma terial issue the Liberals have descended to personal attacks Their politicians and spokesmen stage an almost daily vilifica tion of Prime Minister Diefen baker himself This includes terms so scurrilous defama tory and of course untrue that In private life the victim wuuld take action for slander This is The Battle of the Mud The Liberals are not showing us Canadian politics at their most admirable But the bespattered public image of the Liberal party is already demon strating that political mud is boomerang Barr flea101 TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Dont Overload Child With Bed Covers By JOSEPH MOLNBB MD Dear Dr Menu My son 10 has night sweats

really been debated here before this year From all sides there always has been great oommiseratian forthe plight of the farmer It has been taken for granted that he needed commlseratlon Nobody has bothered to really inquire whether he needed the sympathy or not But this year the members have started to wonder Agriculture Minister Hon Stewart is responsible STEWART ANSWER8 When NDP leader Donald MacDonald delivered his usual passionate plea on behalf of the farmers Mr Stewart took ex ception He didnt agree with the NDP leader he said And as farmer he was tired of hearing his occupational group referred to in terms of pity Farmers be inferred were doing all right And be men tioned one small study made by his officials in which it had been shown one group of farmers showed net average profit of $5000 after the years operations Mr MacDonald to his credit was flabbargaated He believed completely and ardentiy in what he was saying and the fact it would be dis puted never be big happei before caught him short for the moment He quickly recovered howv ever and backed up his claims He quoted briefs of the Federne tion of Agriculture and the Ontario Farmers Union both pleading for

Despite big incomes nobody seems to have any money to day it isnt like the 805 when we were all broke and yet had cash in our pockets And if this $5000 return repre sents cash money over basic living
