Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited to Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher FRIDAY Manon Brian Slim Gwen Manager to 1m 4m Time Of Spring Fever Brings Mixed Spring came to Barrie and district last week as if it meantit The way had been prepared by several days of sunshine and the steady disappearance of snow piled along city streets and driveways It may have been deceitful entry for winter may and probably will take few lusty swipes at us before succumbing to the climbing sun But at least spring is officially here And so is spring fever quite obviously Stirring fever is condition not truly me ice in nature that affects everyone to some degree Ones temperature may not rise but there are plenty of other symptoms For some people the fever is accom panied by drive to do things Housewiv es in particular are thus afflicted Their rites of spring are carried out with mops Reactions and pails and bnishesand polisherl and husbands are treated either as aliens or beasts of burden The husbands in turn have contracted the disease and find re fuge in basements or garages where they polish golf clubs that need no polishing and fiddle with fishing equipment that was put in iperfect order before being stored last ovember Other people react to the coming of ring Illh great Iassitude The fever ows them to crawl nd they spend lot of time looking slghtlessly though windows and thinking about warm beach es and cool lakes Work becomes bur den and the morning alarm thing of pure horror Still its pleasant sickness the herald of the end of another winter the coming of another summer And the opening of the trout season is not far of Heavy Accident Toll No one who reads the newspapers can be unaware of the terrible toll taken in Canada by traffic accidents in year 8200 persons killed and another 85000 persons injured But it is not so well known that industrial accidents take comparable toll in year 1400 persons killed 6000 persons permanently dls abled and another 150000 persons temp orarily disabled In fact since the figures above on per manent or temporary disablement cover only those cases reported by workrnens corn ensation boards the complete totals wou be even higher Not all industries nor even all employees within any indus try are covered by the provincial com pensation acts It is not possible of course to elimin ate all accidents in industry but recent news story concerning firm in the construction industry an industry that is particularly subject to accident hazard and one in which the accident rate is rise ing indicates to what extent the toll might be reduced Five years ago the Pigott Construction Company largest pri vatelyowned building firm in the coun try set new accident control pro gram In at period total annual injuries have been reduced from 534 to 210 days lost through injuries on the firms pro jects have dropped from 17129 in 1957 to 1404 in 1981 accident payments have been reduced from $128000 annually to $23494 in 1981 Most importantly Pigott employees havepassed the three year mark without fatal accident The alleviation in human suffering would be the main gain in accident reduc tion but there is also financial factor involved In just those payments made by compensation boards accidents now cost well over $100000000 year in Can ada The complete total would be much greater and it all goes into the final cost of production Other Editors VieWs GENERALS AND POLITICS Peterborough Examiner If generals think they have political duty to warn their country about this that and the other thing they

which they live to see that the oun have those traits of character thayty wlfi insure happy and successful life And the only Way to instill these traits is through the example which the youngst ers

resulted in divided nation neither of the economies could have en joyed the growth and pros erity of the free trai which now embrages 50 states If the Western world even 10 years from now is to display the full potential of what free men can achieve for their own 11an standard and the benefit of others then the common markets of American and Western Europe should cooperate rather than

be mild or disastroust severe or of any degree in betweenal though regard all of them se riously Nohenrt attack is good but the degrees of severity vary This brings us to the matter of what it means and what we should do it silent heart at tack is discovered later ROUTINE DETECTION great many of these Illcnt attacks are detected by routine alectrocardlograph tests often as part of routine health diecku without any prior sus picion at they have occurred Indeed about one person in five who is found to have had silent attack cant recall ever having bad the severe pain which Is regarded as the classi cal sign of coronary heart attack Once the discovery has been made then what Well be lieve the patient should be told what has happened It doesnt necessarily mean that he should change his mode of living but he should know that the heart muscle has been damaged Being aware of the fact may he an important influence on him for example in making up his mind to lose some excess weight or being sensibly cau tions in avoiding needless strain or exertion Its solemn warning and if the warning is heeded the pa tient may well remain active for another 40 years But if he doesnt pay attention to the waning well good health is the reward of people who do heed natures warnings Dear Dr Molnar What would you use as solvent for alumi num chloride to reduce hand sweatingfP Water Have the druggist

ago todayin issfl for 37200000 The deal was ridiculed by many who felt it foolish to any good gold for frozen waste of use less land The purchase has repaid itself many times and in 1058 Alaska became

Ialonlam 510 Gods people have sorrows but even in sorrow they cant stop rejoicing for the joy that lies beyond sorrow Deplores Condition 0t MP3 Finances By PATRICK NICHOLSON The most explosive dynamite in politics today is the remuner ation paid to our MPs To the average voter earning about 680 week the Parlia mentary stipend of $154 week plus an expense allowance of $2000 year looks reasonably attractive Hence any sugges tion that we the people should increase the pay precipimtes howls of not very righteous in dignation say not very righteous be cause living here among our parliamentarians know very well an important aspect of their life which the voter over looks This is that it has now become wholetime and very costly job The MP has to spend about eight months of the year working whole time in Parliament and four months at home mostly occupied with con stituency work It is thus almost impossible for an MP to continue with his ordinary work and there are very few occupations which permit him to earn money on the side UNAVOIDABLE EXPENSES At the same time there are very few landlords in Ottawa or anywhere esa who will rent family home for months only and no Canadian schools which will regularly cater for children for part of the year only Hence an MP either has to abandon his family for much of the year or else maintain two homes The economically cheaper but sociologically less desirable choice is for the MP to live in Ottawa as badielor That costs him minimum of $4500 year in addition to the coat of maintaining his normal home Then the MP has traveling and secretarial expenses dues subscriptions and entertaining expenses in his constituency Thus in effect we pay our MPs not 310000 year but $3000 year after they have met the unavoidable expenses of their work And from this $3000 they must pay income tax and pension premium There are some elder man who having accumulated their nest egg in private life can and do afford to dedicate their later years to public service But there are very few younger men of the desirable standard of edu cation and ability who feel justl fied in subjecting their families to 32500 year way of life when normal employment would bring them four or five times that income As nation we are willing to pay our MPs only pittance upon which nearly every MP ls today going into debt to his bank and which as several recent cases have deplorany shown threatens his wife and children with penury if he should die We are offering our legislators bargain basement prices such as we would not is all rubblsh DELIBERATE ACT inesa Johnson told the court the story In his own way struggled ngninat crime but always turned tolt when was short of money just wont to go straight bllndcd myself after considerlng my own history nnd the history of others and found that we ro peatcdly returned to crime knew what was doing but was determined to make It physically impossible for me to commit crime Evidence regarding Johnsons QUEENS PARK rom crime Dr Wrny agreed that John sons trouble roally stemmcd from desperate desire to break away from crime and make it almost impossible for him to commit any more crime The

the Recorder You will not be kept there very long Bills Breed Storm In The Legislature By DON OHEARN TORONTO The attorney gcncrol of Ontario doesnt like to lose Because of this government members of the standing com mittee on legal bills had to go through the uncomfortable ex perlcnoe of being laughed at be hind their backs by nearly two dozen of the finest of Ontarios constabuluries Mr Kelso Roberts brought before the committee probably the most ridiculous procedure yet conceived by any Ontario legislator responsible or Irra sponslble And the Progressive Conserv ntlva members of the commit tee voted for it very Dwar ently because they either didnt dare or didnt know how to do anything else Among the bills brought in by Attorney General Roberts this year was one which would eo tahllsh new category of im partial referees and arbitrators AMEND ACT second an amendment to the Police Act would remove the present compulsory require ment that one of the members of local police commissions should be county court iudge Both bred Immediate storms of opposition And when the committee met tovconsider the bills and hear risk for medical care or educa tion and which compare badly with the income of the sleeping car attendants and CEO execu lives who are also on our pay roll CHANGE MPs PROGRAM It seems to me there are two reasonable solutions One would he to pay MPs more realistic expense allowance by adding say $20 per night spent in Ottawa or in travel between Ottawa and constituency The other would be so to alter the hours of Parliamentary sit tings that the sessions could be substantially shortened At present the House of Com mons normally sits from 280 to pm and from to 10 pm five days week MPs from distant points then waste the weekend in Ottawa whilst many from nearby Ontario and Quebec rldings go home It would be realich for the House to continue to sit through the evening dinner hour as the British Parliament does there is no reason why it should not sit on Saturdays This rocedura could reduce the pari amentary year to two sessions each of fixed three months duration can honestly assert that one thing In for sure something must be done to improve the conditions of parliamentariana life and to provide security for their dependents the objections Mr Roberts was ready The bills wouldnt become law for year he laid Ha would give his undertaking on that But in the meantime he wanted the committee to send them back to the House and there he wanted them to go through rcndy for proclamation Then he would appoint com mittee to see where if and how they should be changed Opposition members tried to point out that this meant they were being asked to apprth something which Mr Robert himself probably would have to be changed The Ontario Bar Association the Canadian Manufacturers Association and the Toronto Board of Trade all felt the arbitrators bill was illformed OPPOSE CHANGE The Police Association of On tario and the Chief Constables Association were vigorously against the Police Act change They felt the presence of judge on police commissions en sured protection from political pressures Both groups were against the procedure advocated by the at torneygenernl But the attor neygeneral was for it Present at the meeting was group of PC members In the main they represented the po litical as contrasted to the in
