Elie barrio Examiner Published by crustn Nmmm Limited won Publisher McPherson WAY MY 16 Hayfield Strut Barrie Ontario Willlnm Teller consul Managing Editor ii fill no Manager Press Does Report Fully All Activities The president of the Kiwanis Club of Barrie was reporting to fellow members his impressions of the 53rd annual inter national convention held in Toronto June 30July One of the principal speakers was the international president of Circle whose members attend universities The latters remarks in cluded reference to newspapers and other media In effect he brought up the old charge that the press gives un due emphasis to the antics of the minor ity in campus and street rioting fails to give proper space to the good done by the great majority of young people There is some truth in what the speak er said but the press does not make the news The lpress however has defin ite res onsi ility to re or it and the public as right to now what goes on Would the Circle speaker want the press to ignore what went on at Col umbia University in New York Just dont look at these things pretend they never happen and the world is rosy aodrlghi Editors and publishers have listened to similar charges for years and they do get under the skin for his simply not true that responsible press media ignore good things Since the charge was made in Toronto and reported back in Barrie as factual let

asized the bene fits of having large families This story covered the acaluisltion of children via the adoption me od it was called Cheaper ByThe Dozen This will no longer be true in the natural birth field Recently the Ontario Medical Associi tion decided at meeting in Toronto that multiple births should cost more Contr to the practicein various bus inesses ere will be no discount for quantity The council of the OMAadvised that dating from the beginning of lastmonth May 1968 to be exact the suggested delivery priceby general practitioner should be charge about $140 Every child thereafter at flat rate of $15 The trouble is that up to now while will be charged there are many methods of birth control there has never been system devised by which the number of simultaneous births could be limited or regulated The only possible indication that there might lie multiple births in familyis the fact that some authorities advance the theory that this is an hereditary trait Multilple births are like the weather we all ta aboutit but no one has ever done anything about it

Canadian textile in dustry complains that Cana dians are switching their pur chases to cheaper foreign fab Ilu0ntarios tomato growers as this column recently pointed out are having Lheirdomestio market usurped by cheapsraim ported products The Pearson government anxious to ioiver the cost of drugs to sick Cana dians introduced legislation which would encourage the in par tatioo of cheaper drugs made in Hong Kong and other countries paying lower wages than Canada Behind all this there is pat tern Perhaps it was the Pearson pattern of wage increases in loss Remember the Seaway workers that year Threatening strike they were given pay boost of 20 per cent by order of thePearson government In many fields today Cnoa dian workers are demarfilng higher wages without increasing their

inquiries interrupted while we fought our political battle have resumedfrom the Pentagon about NORAD The present system according to Mr McNamara can no longer defend us or even warn us against the Soviet bomber fleet which is more than 10 years old The Soviet aircraft have new penetration aids and new tactics that would enable them to fly in around and under our radar screens In recent exercise carried out by Soviet planes off Canadas Aliaan coast they could have got through our da fonccs undetected and were seenonly as they turned to leave it goes without saying that North American Air

ruin their case themselves how ever by their insistence on maintaining sufficient supev riorlty in offensive missfles so that evcnii Russia struck surprise using all her misiles she would stlllnot be ableto de stroy all American missiles and Would suffer total destruction in retaliation This means of course that great number of people in Russia would have to go simultaneously insane to delt stroy theUS at the st of also destroying the Soviet Union It is because theCanadian govermnent does not believe the Russians will risk national sul cide that Ottawa has refused so far to go along with any schemes for modernising the antirbomber defences of NORAD or building an optimis sile defence 1t is on this latter point that the new pressures from the Pentagon are being exerted thin and therefore

the wordof God Aciriam What change it would make in the life of every city if all its citizens would go to the house of worship on the lords day in costs and prices sult of this must be that the cost of their product rises Then the wives of the workers protest that prices in the stores are ris ing Then Ottawa tries to duck ntheLpolitlcal hot potato by fos tering the importation of goods which will sell atlower prices than Canadian products The re sult of that of course is that Canadian workers lose their jobs This sequence of events is il iuslrated by some times just compiled by the Canadian Tex tile institute Production or tab rics in Canada fell from 354 mil lion square yards in 1955 to 208 million square yards in 1967 our exports also fell during that period Our total imports of ran rlcsiricreased over that same period But while highCost im ports from the United States ac tually fell Canadian buyers fa vored fabrics made in low labor cost countries such as liong Kong ltst and Japan Sleuth canlly the demand for Cana dlan fabrics fell off in both Ca nadian and foreign markets Of course with that declining demand Canadian production also felt and so did employ ment from 13000 jobs in 1965 to 17425 in 1967 Didthiit drop inlobs match the drop in pro ductiani No Productivity per workerfell by varying amounts in different lines but seemed to average about is per cent MORE PAY FOR LESS WORK declining markets and dec ing produ vity the pay of the continuingworkers in that industry might normally have been expected to fall or at least remain steady Butagslri no Workers whose productivity dropped by about 71 percent per year obtained wage in creases averaging up to in per cent per year It could he called economic treason to buy foreign goods in preference to Canadian prod ucts when unemployment is al ready unduly high in Canada But the reason for this is easy to see the price of certain for eign products is attractive Yet despite this common sari train of cause and affect radian workers demand more pay for ess work This could be called conomlc suicide Three courses are open ei ther Canada like some other countries must practise wage restraint or wage increases must be matched by higher pro ductivity or if neither ofthesa courses is adopted inevitably the Canadian dollar must be de valued agaio incorrect the ortia rrclal and unmerited increases humping hi

that it has larger number of lawyers than usual particularly on the opposition side Which isonereason why the estimates of AttorneyGeneral Arthur Wishart have taken up more time than those of any other minister There were important matters pertaining to the nttorneygco eral to be dismissedihisfyearr probably more than customer The question of wiretapping for example Then there was theinuuiry

insisting his opvf position to the use of Mace at this point an opposition which has been widely reported Ms Wishart gave one ruthenium sual but worthwhile reason This was that he felt use of this
