on Titanic Exam Published by Canadian Newppopm Limited 16 Blyfllid sum aunt Ontario Walla Publisher William Tailor General McPherson Managing Editor Invasion Jon is nitrad Television Debate Dull Proved Nothing To Voters PM Pierre Elliott Trudeau was stern and sometimes not too communicative Conservative leader Robert Stanfield was earnest but sometimes otf target New Democrch Party Leader Tommy Douglas was informal and luctd if not always convincing while Creditlste leader Real Caouette was dramatic but except for his favorite economics theme somewhat like fish out of water The Canadian electorate for whom this socalled great national debate had been stsged is probably no wiser about the leader and art to whom the fate of the nation be entrusted on June 25 But for the voter in search of clarification about relative positions on the important issues there may have been something of value Politically the debate was for the most part restatement of views already pre sented As trial run for new form of electioneering an electronic version of the confrontations between politicians which used to be Canadian tradition it was finally uninspired and often dull The format was too rigid to allow for the kind of direct exchange which could make it fascinating communications experience as well as confrontation of real political significance For most viewers its main value was in the comparison it provided of the leaders themselves liere it may have started some readjustmenls for the im ages that came throu did not alwa match the images ch have been veloped ltfr Trudeau heretofore seemingly uninhibited individual wasnt at his best Despite his claim that he approved of the debate idea he really didnt seem to enjoyit or take advantage of it and sometimes was loath to give adequate ans llfr Stanfield who previously had seemed suspicious of the medium was more at home than in personal interh views and scored some fectlve points Both he and Mr Douglas showed the benefits of thir long political ex erlence while Mr Douglas scored most ten with his unique personal blend of sweet rear sonableness and concern for the average Canadian If an attempt must be made to assess the three main leaders on points Mr Douglas would win the prize Of course he was under less handicap from the possible imminence of power but this does not take away from the pertinence of much that he had to say It may have been significant that the best scene of all was the fadeout with Mr Trudeau and Mr Stanfield appear ing once again as interesting human be ings as they shook hands somewhat like men who have just survived an unplea sant ordeal DOWN MEMORY LANE 40 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner June 141928 In letter to Board of Education Principal Girdwood was disappointed

family stood with hund reds of others today at Centen nial Park and watched with sadness the horror of the drowning ot the nine year old Creemore boy We had commented earlier on the num berof chlldreriswimmlng in this area off the park Afierthechild hndbeen taken to the Hospital Emer gency we looked around for at least one sign which would for bid swimming in this area but there as notovon one to be seen The signs say Swlrn at Your own risk This is real puzzle to us since the water depth drops off very quickly appears polluted and motor boats zip up and down within close proximity to the swimmers who are primarily chlliren Capable swimmers are usualiythose otthe older age groups who are able to transport themselves to better swimming areas when ever they are Recently bit for discussions on the recrea tional needs of this area for specific age groups falways find it very amusing when someone says to me that he or would like to live in Bar rie because recreational oppor

available at $125 per own effortsor bypar OTTAWAThe wasteful feder al government has been forced to welsh on its obligation to help the provinces train more does tors Governments of course have no money of their own when they tiy to attract votes at elec tions by promising goodies to the electors they must subse quendy raisetbe money to pay for those goodies That money can only be raised from the citi zens of Canada every one of whom pays taxes to that end indirectly if not also by direct tax on income In extreme cir cumstances government will budgetfor deficit then in stead of raising the required money by taxes it puts off the evil day of higher taxation by borrowing money Todayihe Liberal government in Ottawa has reached the point where for political reasons it cannot announce higher taxes an because of its lack of fiscal integrity it has just about reached thelimit of its ability to borrow money No money no election prom lses Today we dont hear talk ab higher oldage pensions or highecdoans to build homes of subsidies to assist farmers All these would cost money and 0t tnwn not ercly could not promise to spend more both now faced with the disastrous pcqultlement to cut back its meats Such thing has hap pened before only in acute eco nomic depression The Pearson chlcke are coming home to roost One of these is the Health new sources Fund TbLs was prom ise by Ottawa to contribute 500000000 to matchcontrlbw ions by the provincial governs merits over the period 19671930 its purpose is to facilitate the building of new medical schools and other training requirements to make good the shortage of doctors and other medical work ers This shortage is apparent now it would become so serious immediately nationwide medl care plan is put into operation that the plan would almost cer toinly be disaster This is the unbiased conclusion of medical planners The Health Resources Fund should yield an average of some $40000000 year to the prov lnces Last year about $33 000000 were distributed $10 000000 to Quebec $9000000 each to Nova Sconeand lint itario $2000000 each to EC and Alberta andsmallcr sums to other provinces But this year creditpoor Ottawa cannot meet its obligations and commit meats SHARP CUTBACKS On March 20 Health Minister MacEachcn wrote tonrovincial health ministers saying the government has been examining many alternatives in an effort to redirectederal expendituihez add there will backsYet based on Ottawas promise of per capita alloca tion Ontario alone had made undertakings on programs to train more medical manpower andirequlred $29000000 from Ottawawhich it now will not receive Ontario which contritr utes 49 cents of every tax dollar collected by Ottawa is being curbed in its plans to train the doctors necessary to make med learework Nevertheless Ottawa has gone ahead in building mom moth theatre in the capital while the provinces are ex pected to halt their training school building program This theatre will costan estimated $43000000 which some say will soar toover $60000000 when the frills are includedand the land valued with around 2000 seats in the main theatre plus ancillary facilities this works out at between $20000 and $104 000 for each theatra seat Meauwhiln Ottawa offers only $1000 per bed toward each badly needed new hospitalln Canada Not only our1 finances but our priorities are in shameful

who cannot pay and thus the tragedy of today where children were swimming in an area which should be completely forbidden spoke with our alderman to day who said that the city can not be responsible for non swlmming intha park main tain that the city is legally res ponsfble to place signs in dang er areas but the moral rcspon siblllty of carrying out these regulations lies with every ponslble citizen arbor can as today swimming in dang er area it is not enough for our city fathers or in fact any one to discuss the needs of any age group in recreation until we have examined our goals and see if we want to provide these facilities because they are need ed or because we really care for those who have been deprived One of the nicest occasions rc centlyjin Barrie was the ser vice for shut his at Collier St United Church because of the care demonstrated to these people We must care for these little children who are deprived of most enjoyable activities be cause of poverty or low income
