Examiner Wednesday April I4 I976 Dilemma facing Yacht Club here Ken Oakley has problem and because of his problem the Barrie Yacht Club faces dilemma Garbage is washing up on the shore of his property at Barrie Ter race just outside the citys east limits The flotsam appears to be con struction material The Barrie Yacht Club is in the process of building new wall to check the drifting of the beach to build more dock facilities Phil Bishop commodore of the Yacht Club says the flotsam is not from the construction that the con tractor is paid to clean up any gar bage around the site There has been some vandalism at the club says Mr Bishop and some of the garbage may be caused by this Mr Oakley cleaned up So he went to the Ontario ministry of the environment to see what could be done And the Yacht Club the ministry has decided is guilty as sin Neil Embree district officer in charge of municipal and private abatement for the ministry office at Barrie commented on the garbage for The Examiner The ministry he said has decided the flotsam belongs to the Yacht Club But he admits there is no con clusive evidence that it does belong to the Yacht Club There is not much doubt that the flotsam around the club belongs to the club he says Mr Embree doubts there is anything the ministry can do to get wants the garbage club that it clean up the flotsam as public relations act We confm we are puzzled We want cléan environment as much as anyone else But is this any way to get clean environment Mr Oakleys first concern is to get the mess cleaned up That should be the ministrys con cern Instead the ministry finds itself in the position of being unable to take anyone to court to answer for the mess So the ministry relies on public relations There is no conclusive evidence the Yacht Clubjs responsible for the flotsam says the ministry but the ministry has decided the Yacht Club is responsible anyway The Yacht Club should also clean up the mess as public relations act says the ministry That puts the Yacht Club in the position of being charged tried found guilt and sentenced all on the basis evidence that is not con clusive The Yacht Club cant win in this sort of situation If it cleans up the mess as public relations act or not it is then admitting it is responsible If it doesntclean up the mess then the club and its members are branded as despilers of the environ ment And neither does Mr Oakley win Obviously the ministry isnt going to clean up the mess The Yacht Club may decide to take the flack and clean up the mess but the Club couldnt be blamed if it decided notto WORLD DAY Neighors forcing strange connection By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Two endangered nations Other accusations against ls rael by the Arab nation

Num r203815register61 important circumstance of the fatality he orders an inquest He also may call an inquest when he feels it will publicize hazard and lead to changes that might prevent similar deaths in the future In his first year as coroner Dr Taylor called four inquests In one case Dr Taylor couldnt determine how fire that killed worker started in rag factory In this case the tes timony given at the inquest un covered the cause The third inquest involved drunken driver Dr Taylor held thorough examination and found the ramp where the acci dent occurred was faulty He recommended alterations He also recommended that the wearing of seat belts and shoulder harness should be made compulsory and that p0 lice should be given the right to use breathanalyzer tests on anyone at any time If had crusade it would be against drunk driversbecause they will get us yet CHECKED FIRE DEATH Another inquest involved patient who set himself on fire when lighter he was filling with fluid dripped on the bed Dfanlor called the inquest it see if the hospitals alarm fistem was adequate and if there was enough supervision being given to people who smoke in bed But just as important he called it to push for rule that there be no smoking in hospi tals Thejury didnt agree with the last recommendation Instead it recommended that there be no smoking in patients moms and that no cigarettes be sold in hospitals This is beautiful said Dr Taylor pointing at letter from the hospital outlining the changes in policy It will pre vent future deaths And weve had too many Thats why Martin Taylor is coroner Misused credit trouble says consumer minister HALIFAX CP According to statistics compiled by the Nova Scotia consumer affairs department the average deb tor in the province seeking help is 33 years old has two children and net family income of $574 amonth The department says that among the people whose fi nances it has helped straighten the average individual owed 85052 or almost years entire net income to at least seven dif ferent creditors The department has also dis covered that in more than half the cases the creditor is fi nance company The next larg est group of creditors are retail outlets 16 per cent of the total while 14 per cent of creditors are banks There seems little hope in pay increases either the department says noting that while the average income of most applicants for assistance rose so did the debt load they carried TROUBLE WHEN MISUSED These facts seem to suggest that credit although useful tool when used properly can bring trouble when misused says Consumer Affairs Minister Glen Bagnell Too often it seems con sumers do not give enough thought to the obligations they are undertaking when borrow ing money or buying credit The conclusion seems to be that more consumer education is required at all levels of society the minister says In 1975 more than 600 resi dents of Nova Scotia found they could not make ends meet and applied to the department for assistance Through its orderly payment if debts provisions the depart ment enabled the debtors to consolidate and budget success fully to repay more than $650 000 to creditors Almost 200 other applicants could not be helped successfully and were referred to the bank mptcy department of the fed eral consumers affairs depart ment WE WANT YOUR OPINION Letters

callypowerful large group of Third World nations in the United Nations who have de clared Zionism to be form of racism both countries now are defined as racist more curious and deranged twisting of facts cannot be imagined even in this contem porary world of conflicting ideologies and scheming national leaders South Africa has been clearly and blatantly racist racism incidentally which has included astrongantiSemitism Indeed prior to the Second World War and to lesser de gee in the early postwar years South Africas leading political and philosophical ex ponents of apartheid expressed public sympathy for Nazi race laws Against tliis bizarre back gound Israel has been classi fied by the United Nations reso lution as practising racism for series of conflicting reasons The PLO opposed in prin ciple to the existence of the present Israeli state and with observer status at the UN spearheaded the passage of the racism resolution Asia have settled on Israeli be havior toward the Arab popu lations of the territories occu pied in the 1967 war and still held by Israel The Arab world sees it as re strictive and discriminatory The cement in the emerging IsraeliSouth African associ ation neither side will yet admit to is the determination of Arab states in the Middle East and black ones in South Africa to destroy each nation The first association between the two nations now definable as fortress societies is mili tary one South Africa is buying the superb Israel Gabriel mis sile which can be used surface tosurface on land or at and probably armored troop carriers made in Israel This will not be the first timc South Africa has been inter ested in Israelidesigned mili tary equipment The Israeli SIOL aircraft applicable to military and civilian use has apparently been offered to the South African armed forces In addition Israel has suf fered propaganda and trade blows from her own campaign to extend her influence in the African continent in developing industry and agriculture in emerging black nations The most prominently rc final product yet from policy institute OTTAWA CP In almost four years no final product has yet emerged from the assembly line of ideas discussions and papers at the publicly and pri vately financed Institute for Research on Public Policy really dont feel the least bit apologetic for that says in stitute president AWR Car rothers listing the meetings seminars manuscripts and plans he has organized in ths last 18 months There were tremendous number of contacts to be made and consultations until they were running out your car he said in an interview Institute members include businessmen assorted profes sionals and researchers for gov ernment university and perate organizations Prime Minister Trudeau asked Ron Ritchie then vice president of Imperial Oil Ltd to study the merits of such an establishment in 1968 little more than year later the fed eral cabinet was studying his recommendation to create it In April 1972 the institute was incorporated and the gov ernment granted it $950000 to getstarted Mr Ritchie plunged into poli tics in the summer of 1974 to run for the Progressive Con servative party The institutes annual report for that year thanked him for the six years he spent elaborating the con cept of research centre Mr Carrothers former presi dent of University of Calgary took over the Montrealbased orgianization at that point That summer we started from scratch with nothing here Until then it wus all on paper The paper cost at least $42986 In the institutes 1973 budget expenses included $1000 for salaries $12566 for administration of an office on Parliament Hill $9517 for rofessional services $14128 for meetings and $3378 for prin ting postage and stationery Mr Carrothers said some people have asked why no monumental report has been produced It has taken an awful lot of blood sweat and tears he in sisted The office hiring of fice staff getting conference going finding researchers writing staff manual dealing with landlords carpenters and designing letterheads reading manuscripts Its just matter of getting the whole thing started and get ting the research under way SURVEY

Israeli advanced expertise in communal farming small in dustrial dcvclopmcnt public administration training methods was very much in demand in cmcrging black Africa But the intrusion of Arab

shadow cabinet OTTAWA CP Progressive Conservative right wingers have come out the win ncrs in Joe Clarks selection of his shadow cabinet Although the 36yearold rookie leader is considered party moderate he turned over responsibility for such major high profilc roles as external affairs critic to hardlinc Quebec MP Claude Wagner finance to former Toronto financier Sinclair Stevens transport to rancher Jack or ncr and justicc to capital punishment rctcntionist Eldon Woolliams All are considered rightof untrc Conservatives The decision apparently rc flccts Mr Clarks desire to ap pease the traditionallytrouble some rightwingof thc party It also illustrates his desire to npay political debts and soothc ruffled feelings among the eight MIs be defeated during the partys February leader ship convention Although all eight leadership losers wcrc givcn jobs as com mittec chairmen the plums went to those Mr Clark appar ently considers he owes thc most Mr Jagntr for instantc hclpcd mcnd rifts bctwccn the partys left and right factions with gracious convention speech after narrowly losing the leadership to Mr Clark on the final ballot And Mr Stevens considered rightofcentre candidate at the convention threw his sup port behind Mr Clark early in the voting in move considered key to the new leaders victory Mr Homers appointment is considered the result of an equally pragmatic political de cision The veteran MP from Crowfoot was major thorn in the side of former leader Rob crt Stanfield who like Mr Clark is considered party moderate By giving Mr lIorner major responsibilities Mr Clark ap parcntly hopes to head off sim ilar conflicts Mr Clarks moves to reward right wingers with topline posts will likely help unify major portion of the partys 95 member parliamentary caucus But they may create prob lems for the new leader among more moderate Conservatives Three of the partys best known moderates are defeated leadership candidate Flora lncllonull lrit Edwnl island Ml David MacDonald and veteran Gordon Fair wcather from New Brunswick Britain lost currency bid By BOB BOWMAN Canada had some strange forms of currency until 1858 when the decimal system with dollars and cents was finally adopted after long struggle with Britain Britain wanted Canada to be member of the sterling bloc ming pounds shillings and pen cebut Canada preferred the United States system that was adopted there in 1808 On April 14 1851 new Canadian curren cy regulations were disallowed by Britain and it took another seven years to get dollars and cents Even so the currencies were Confused in the other British North American colonies and the situation did not straighten out until all provinces joined confederation One of the most unusual for ms of currency was playing cards They were issued by In tendant Jacques de Meulles in 1685 because Canadian coins minted in France did not ar rive Many soldiers were bil Ieted with families who needed to be paid so de Meulles cut the cards and marked them as being worth various amounts of money Each piece carried his signature and seal The playing cards remained in circulation for many years and may be seen at either the Chateau de Ramezay Museum in Montreal or the National Ar chives at Ottawa There was good deal of card playing in Quebec especially during the winters The favorite game was called maw with four trump cards called Tiddy Gleek TupTup and Towser Spanish coins were circulated freely in the British North American colonies for many years due to trade with the West Indies The large pieces of eight were often cut by merchants into smaller pieces called four bits and two bits and those names are still in use today for 50and 25cent pieces OTHER APR 14 EVENTS 1826Seigneurs were allowed to
