Editor Emeritus Henshaw Managing Editor 4The Barrie Examiner Saturday May 29 I976 Fair law enforcement essential to freedom Barrie police force and policemen generally received welldeserved recognition during National Police Week In upholding the laws of democratic society the police today have responsibilities of key importance to very lawabiding citizen It has often been said the efforts of the police are not always appreciated until one finds him self in the position where they are needed Everyone appreciates that without police protection there could be chaos In Barrie and other places many people took advantage of the occasion to visit the head quarters of their local police forces where they saw for themselves some of the complica tions of modern police protection Many watched in fascination as police officers operated new radio communications eguipment with officers in the fiel This system allows more than one policeman to talk directly with headquarters and maintain continuous contact At Elmvale recently provincial police officers helped the Lions sponsored bicycle rodeo in teach ing safety rules to young cyclists of the area Similar worthwhile programs have been carried out in various communities in the county and elsewhere Those who complain at times about police speed traps shouldnt shut their eyes to the other side There is no question that the shocking toll of highway accidents in this province would be substan tially higher if it were not for highway patrols Simcoe County is fortunate compared to some other places in having less crime But without police vigilance there would be many more robberies and pro bany other crimes of violence Good citizenship of course is the main factorbehind educed crime Most responsibility in assisting the police in crime prevention as well as safety action It is something everyone owes to help maintain better society Member of the Ontario Leg islature for Centre Simcoe Ar thur Evans MPP in praising pro vincial police mentioned some new approaches These techni ques ranged from updated police courses taken by many pol icemen at the Ontario Police Col lege through the use of Indian Band constables on reservations to the OPPs establishment of five tactics and rescue squads In order to anticipate different types of crime in Ontario such as hostage taking barricaded gunmen terror ists and sniping the OPP trained some of their best qualified per sonnel to be ready to handle any such need These units located in Downsview Kingston London and North Bay are available to help local police should such Situation arise Guarding the safety of society and protecting the rights of law abiding people in responsible manner is not always an easy task for policemen but essential to free democracy DOWN

Thomson News Service Last week Mr and Mrs Nel son Small Legs Sr of the Pei an Indian Reserve at the foot hills of the Alberta Rocky Mountains laid to rest their son Nelson Jr in Christian burial His possessions were sanctified in the ground in another tradi tional Indian ceremonial of ear thly departure The young 23yearold Indian leader also member of the militant American Indian Movement died by his own hand He was martyred as the Indians and many moved Canadians including this one would prefer to say He shot himself with 303 rifle in the small frame home typical of the kind our de rived Indian communities bu for themselves He did it because frustration over lack of ac tion by the Canadian federal gwernment on behalf of Indian society and after personal resen tation to the Berger In

of the native peoples that such project would wreck their societies forever though wider reported in the ress large went over the ds of white southern Cana dians LOOK KIDLETS FACE IT YA JUST AINT GOT IT NO MORE YOUR BUSINESS Will the tax gimmick help the oil search By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The one feature of the recent federal budget that has encour ed the oil industry is the im ied invitationvvextcnded to any Canadian taxpayer with money to spare to ta fling of oil exploration Under the new provision an munced by Finance Minister Donald Macdcnald cor porations and individuals alike will be remitted to write off their capital investment in ex oration excopt for the costs acquiring land Until now Canadian tax law allowed investors to write off mly 30 per cent of such comA mitments unless oil ex oration was their principal usiness The search for oil and gas on Canadas frontiers big deposits have been indicated in the Arctic and off the East Coast is about 10 times as ex pensive as in the more ac cessible oilbearing areas of Alberta and Saskatchewan The new writeoff privile es mdoubtodly will stimulate or motion of pools of ca rital Some lxrple in the oil in ustry have estimated that frmm $500 mil lion to $1 billion in new money will be made available for ex ploration which could be gilden opportunity for stock pcmoters at least The greatest stimulus would be major new oil discivery on the frontierssomething that has eluded exploration teams 13119 THOUGHT So when they continued asking him he lifted up timself and said

exploration success has been elusive there has been no mortage of plans policies and troposals emanating from gov anmcnt officials economists academics and others Energy Minister Alastair Gil lespie for example published An Energy Strategy For Can ada in rilthe latest of series government pro munccments about the poten tial imbalance between Canadas supply of and demand for energv resources The prime minister has ac corded annual price increasw to oil roducers as incentives An the finance minister has even removed the federal tax at windmills and solarheating equipment But the governmental warn ings the price escalatvon and the tax concessions have been with us for yearswith no dis cernible benefit to our supply xrsition If the government were to display as much zeal for enlarg ing our supplies of energy as it does about discouraging con sumption with its specral ex cise taxes on bigger cars for example 74 the longterm 11th would be for brighter than it is The prime minister Inwever

the first time ow deep are the frustra tions of our Indian brethren am one of these Like most if you see few Indians Most dten they are the sad derelicts who weave drunkenly and com pletely forlorn on bigcity streets or put on war paint for highly commercialized events like the annual Calgary Stam pede Except this time we all saw young and dead Indian leader dressed up if you will in his full regalia in his coffin with memories recalled people also recognize their WW at 24 Sussex Drive HALFMEASURES Such incentives as the full writeoff of oilexploration costs the elimination of sales tax on some energy systems and the tax deductions on other forms of energycf icient equip ment are step in the right direction They are hardly strong enough however to make any real impact on the basic prob lem of finding the energy to keep Canadians warm in future winters and to keep the freight moving Where for example is the leadership thats needed to do velop the oil sands of Alberta and Saskatchewanthe largest mexploited deposit of oil out side the Middle East Where is the sense of urgency thats required to bring about bigscale generation of nuclear power Our sup lies of tranium oxide the sic raw material are the Worlds geatest And where is the determina tion to make full use of the coal in the ground and the sun in the sky as sourcw of energy Perha the Iicy of dither ing whi supp ies run down is the governments way of steer ing Canadians to the more ause tore life that Messrs Trudeau and Galbraith have decided is best for simple people like us brief life of achievement for recognition of the Indian arlture but also of much bitter disappointment As one commentator put it lis first struggle was just to survive infancy in an Indian society where the modality

leader WHITES FAVORED But the familiar ostracization took place rich white mans son won the cup for most valu able player at Lethbridge tigh school which many said belonged to Nelson Small Legs And

freedom from violence of American public life no Indian wars here no black society ten sions no problems with diicanoism benign society We are wron about our mlves The resi ue of Nelson Fourletter words and sin about to be By SEAN FINLAY City Editor The Examiner It is census time again Census forms have been italivered to homes in Barrie and area And with the forms is lit tle note which says the Statistics Act re uires everyone to provide in formation required am not going to fill out the census form For very simple reason dont trust the govern ment The Statistics Canada forms go to great lengths to msure us that the informa tion will be kept confidential and used only to produce statistics Pfui What if the government changes its mind and decides the completed forms can be used by other government hpartments It could happen And with this governments record on civil liberties it could happen very easily also resent the time it will take me to fill out the form got the long one Do you remember where you lived ï¬ve years ago feel pay enough in in come tax and all the other taxes as it is without volunteering my time for Statistics Canada wont fill out the Statistits Canada forms Several people have called to complain about story wrote in Wednesdays paper about OPP actions at Sauble Beach on the weekend One complaint about word will be writing more about further on in this col umn The main thrust of the com plaints was that the story was unfair to the OPP that stories such as the one Wednesday dont do the police any good and even few who had decided that the campers involved prop bably got what they deserved Why publish it Why not Something happened at that campground at Sauble Beach It was something out the ordinary And please be careful about this the story wrote was about what three men said happened not only to them but what they saw happen to others thought Tuesday when talked to the three that they were and are telling the truth And feel very strongly that no police force should behave in the way the opp ap parently behaved on the weekend at Sauble And if police or any other group is behaving like that then it is in the interest of the piblic that the public know about it Too often charges of police misbehavior to the public are covered up And the resulting rumors are often worse that the truth The story was not written Snail which might be armed violen ce will soon show us how wrong with native lave taken for Legs Jrs martyrdom peoples we granted We are wealthy subtle and racist cotmtry we dont tractise racism like Rhodesia and Sou Africa said Ben Baiche former em ployee of the rtment of In dian Affairs white friend the dead Nelson MOTHER GRIEVES Meantime his mother Flor mce overwhelmed with grief loyal to her sons causes ex pressed the same deep stoicism the Indian we whites have taken for submission Looking across the prairie gass bending in the breeze to the far foothills of the Rockies beloved of the Blackfoot she said Theres always strong wind when good man dies as one man suggested to get the OPP And am certame not go ing to set myself up as judge and jury The story presented me side of the events of that night The OPP is conducting its own investigation of the event and if the OPP publishes its findings they will be published in The Ex aminer As to the comment that the campers probably got what theydeserved Well the police dont charge people unless they are gritty right So why bother with courts It was an accident That fourletter word in the police story got in there by accident and several people let us know they did not ao reciate seeing it in The Ex aminer We didnt either didnt appreciate it for purely selfish reasons it seems to me the only thing people remember about that gory is the fourletter word though the shocking thing in the story was the account of what happened at Sauble not the word However the word got in there and it shouldnt have Bearing in mind the pos sibility of error feel it is safe to promise the word wont appear again And apologize to those who quite rightly were disturbed to see it in their localdaily newspaper READER FOR UM Stop political posturing DearSir As one of many people who have real desire to settle an nexation differences without the ridiculous spending of money perhaps few harsh words and few hard facts reedtobesaid To those who say it will only widen the rift can only say the rif cannot be wider lnnisfil has planned long and lard not only for lnnisfil but has recognized that Barrie mist grow In spite of the bleatings of Mayor Parker and wouldbe mayor Perri every effort has been made by lnnisfil to settle our dif ferences with Barrie Tobe fair the failure of these efforts is as much lnnisfils fault as it is Barries Barries meetin with In nisfil Vespra Oro were mmplete failures and in this regard the cleverest politicians were those who decided to let Mr Perri do all the talking At meeting with Vespra Ibwnship May 18 Aid Perri made statement to the effect the unless we plan now someone is going to come in from above and tell us what to do In his manner he has arggested to me that he is above all we mortals that no me can plan as well as Barrie and am surprised to hear that he would su est that anyone even from ve might tell tim what to do Here is one of his statements about Barries annexation poposal now before the On tario Municipal Board It is proposal for con sideration only we may not be messful If he feels this is true let him get down to Brass Tacks discussions and save Barrie and township taxpa yers deal of money It possi le Barrie may get as nuch land peaceful annexation as rough the MBch laterthecourts The Barrie annexation report being kept secret and it must raise some doubts in the minds of Barrie residents It is qrite possible Barrie council would rather not let Barrie citizens know what the costs will be to them Many people Would be very happy if Mr Perri and Barrie council Would take the time to study the lnnisfil official plan and realize that lnnisfil is being very generous in the land offer toBarrie We may then be able to get Mr Perri to stop his political posturing and sit together for some meaningful meetings Tip le lnnisfil Township Counc lor Stars of the festival thanked by FOF chairman DearSir It was very exciting ex perience to be in the audience at the Georgian
