stressed that there was need in Canada and Ontario today for large scale industry This was necessary it said if we were to be able to compete in world markets and in turn stressed that the health of our economy depended on these markets BAD FEELING This opinion will not be so popular with some sections of the community Big business has long been the favorite target of good many people and the majority feeling is probably one of dis trust towards it And at times in the past there have been good reasons for this In its early growth large in dustry tended to have closed eyes and heart towards

appeal ing one to the public It is seen as keeping prices down and controlling any avari ciousness in industry But against this there is the fact it is hard to go against that one large industry is more efficient than group of smaller ones and that in itself provides the structure for lower prices And then the argument of the necessity for more efficiency to meet international competition is compelling one CW Britain managed to muddle through By BOB BOWMAN Britain muddled through even when growing to the height of her power with an Empire on which the sun never set Canada was an example The rebellions in the Upper and Lower provinces in 18371838 made the British government consider that it might be mak ing the same mistake that led to the American Revolutionary War So although the rebellions were led by Refor mers WL Mackenzie and Louis Joseph Papineau Britain sent two Reformers to Canada to try to improve conditions The first was Lord Durham who recommended that Upper and Lower Canada be joined with one Parliament with re sponsible government The sec ond was Baron Sydenham who implemented some of Durhams recommendations Upper and Lower Canada were joined the Act of Union and the first egislature met at Kingston Ont in June 1841 However Britain would not grant Canada responsible gov ernment Sydenham the gover nor and his executive council had the power of veto over the legislature There was also legislative council like the Ezesentday Senate of 24 mem rs Although the population of Upper Canada was only 450000 while Lower Canada had 650 000 only ei of the 24 legisla tive councilors were French speaking Canadians Sydenham did not include single French speaking Canadian in his executive coun cil His appointments were an nounced June 1841 few days before the first legislature opened One of the members of the executive council was Robert Baldwin leader of the Upper Canada Reform party and he demanded that French speaking members be included Kowcinak in Trintiy Other local delegates at North Bay were Flora McGregor Doris Kearns Marie Burke First group of immigrants from since before war number arrived in Barrie plann ing to work on area farms CNR adop rie agent Cyrus Allison said there would be no change in ser At Barrie Country Club five in As ted 40hour week Bar mens opening golf tourney prizes won by Jack Hamilton George Danerfield Jack Nixon Donald Mike Fred Norris Along with this however an increasing government say in the affairs of industry can eas ily be foreseen For as industry becomes larger and tends to be more monopolistic almost inevitably there is going to be the suspilt cion that it is milking the pub lie with an accompanying de mand for more watchdog ac tion on the part of government And in the nature of govern ment as this demand gets strong enough it will have to be catered to Sydenham refused and Baldwin resigned immediatelyThen he formed an alliance with Lower Canada Reform leader Louis Hippolyte Lafontaine and it was not long before they gained enough strength to form gov ernment However Canada did not get responsible government until several years later Its fir st test was the Rebellion Losses Bill in

THE EXAMINER FORUM Strouds community goals surface in her survey By LYNDA SILVESTER Last March distributed questionnaires to the residents of the village of Stroud in response to request for publication of the results of this survey the following generalizations from discus sions observations and the answers to survey questions may be of interest Stroud is an interesting community in that it has ex perienced rapid increase in population Sudden growth often brings adjustment pro blems it creates changes for established residents and new residents are in the pro cess of developing life sytle in their new community which may differ from that experienced in their former location Even the routine ac tivities for daily living eg grocery shoping change in subtle but important ways Increased demand on local stores and tradesmen often results in temporary decrease in availability of services Often businessmen and shoppers find that time and space is limited for the once enjoyed discussions with friends as they conduct business Ways of communicating often must be changed Disseminating information by word of mouth and reliance on extenisvc knowledge of the ways and thoughts of fellow townspco ple are methods which become replaced by written and often more formal forms of communication PARLIAMENT HILL Now the government prepares Growth brings an increase in the business section of town morc and varied stores professional services etc Added to the community also is greater number of interesting people with vary ing backgrounds and taients Each new resident brings with him his personal set of values and expectations which are either realized or by necessity changcd as he disrovcrs what his new coin miinity has to offer DIVERSITY Itortycight per cent of the people who rcturncd the ques tionnaire have moved to Stroud in thc past six ycars Most of thcsc rcpoitcd Toronto as their previous location but the majority had lived Illl for relatively to study its study groups By STEWART MacLEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service When it comes to creating new study projects you really have to hand it to our bureau cracy You see the public service is big on study groups Represen tatives of various units often get together sometimes for full week to talk about their ob jectives their role in the forma tion of programs public input communications and just about any aspect of ad ministration you would carc to mention It seems its all very valu able few years ago after group of government informa tion officers returned from seminar at posh Laurentian resort they could scarcely con ceal their enthusiasm for such ventures it was organized by Information Canada which bil led the seminar as the first step toward new coordinated government program to inform the public of its activities Unfortunately Information Canada got the axe Anyway these group dis cussions appear to be going on all thetimc But now new clement may be emerging An internal gov ernment document heri sug gests that study groups should be studied And suppose that it we carry this step furthcr someday we might have study into the study on the original study group etc This latest

Many expressed dissat isfaction with the large city as an environment for family living The majority of people resi dent for over seven years moved to Stroud to retire to change occupation most were

Stroud as place to live Those who have moved here in the last 13 years expressed greater in terest in community involve ment and the group most ac tive in community activities consisted of residents of six years or less WHAT IS WANTED Quite evident in the survey was the agreement of townspeople of all durations of residency as to desired future developments The predominant sugges tions were the need for park with playground equipment facilities for outdoor summer sports activities day care centre water and sewers better bus service to Barrie and senior citizens housing Most people felt that re sponsibility for realizing these desires was shared by government and the in dividual it would appear therefore that Stroud is village of peo ple with basically similar community goals It is my personal conclu sion from the responses on various questionnaires that Stroud is rich in enjoyable caring people whowill as time goes on continue to ad ust to get toknow each other etter and further develop their community in very positive direction would like to thank all those people who took the time to complete and return this questionnaire Your thoughtfulness and co is greatly ap operation

THE WORLD TODAY What Habitat is all about By JOHN IIARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service International meetings the size of Habitat under way in Vancouver and the very large messages for all of us which they create are often hard for the maninthcstrcet to vis ualizc The basic concept of Habitat or more properly the Lnited Nations onfcrcncc on Human Settlements that we must find Sitiio billion to house the worlds growing billions is hard to vis unlizc Even after the megafigures of the space age coming down to earth literally with the folks at Ilnbitat and hearing figures of this size we are inclined to turnoff We should not do this even though conferences like Habitat appear to create brief but strong culture of their own fill ing our media with the faces of cugcr speakers and angry dele gates In effect what Habitat is doing is to give us microcosm in morc human terms instead of thc intcnscly political ones of the UN of the real world around us Most of the worlds peoples have little or no proper housing with small prospects in the im mediate future of having some Housing is only part of the problem of massive dislocation of global resources the popu lation explosion and an emerg ing new crisis enough pure wa ter for all of us POLITICS PRESENT Bitter polities have entered the Habitat discussions in the propaganda film of the Pale stiniaii Liberation Organization which suggested no Palestinian homeland was the reason for no homes for Palestinians The same film reminded delegates that the homes which Palcstinians did own before lSHti were confiscated by the state of lsracl Surely that sounds like conference going back to Square One Other than the initial and in on on Love is many splendored thing By LEONARD NOBLE Mr Trudeau want to com pliment you on the beautiful speech that you gave in Van couver the other day at the opening of Habitat said on meeting the Prime Minister in his office in the east block of the Parliament Buildings at 0t tawa Merci he replied with that Gallic inflexion in his voice It is alwa nice to hear good thingso onesself As matter of fact went on that phrase of yours about passionate love for one another will probably go down in histor as the most eloquent reme for peace in this world that anyone has ever stated in the past2000 years You are too kind he replied modestly was only saying the things that really believe will bring all members of the human race together in harmony Well when you said We will thus have not only to tolerate oiic IlllOIlitl but to lovc onc another in ii way

there that its oiin matter of time bcforc the pcoplc of the world will have to follow your lead Ilowcvcr so much for Ilabitat what arc the iiiimcdiatc plans of the govern mcnt that you can reveal to me at this tiiiic Firstly he replied Im going to send telegram to thc Iltpllllllltill of National Dc lcncc complaining about tlicm sticking me on dcslioyci wlicrc the sailors bitchcd and grumbled all the timc that was there If it wasnt personnel shortages it was wornout equipment or the borcdom of carrying out routine fisheries patrols fan you imagine one guy actually told me that he had joined the navy to see the world You know what said to him No What did you say to him inquired simply told him that if he wanted to see the world that he Barrie completes its an nexation plause programs wouldnt this be perfect new City Hall Barrie would be the opvaitv of its Size With such ac1hty Additionally we could then get rid of The Traffic Jam problem caused by the old Ci ty Hall by tearing it down Just suggestion but the time will come soon when Barrie will have to have new and expanded City Hall BILL KNOWLES longanticipated withdrawal of the Israeli delegates which the PLO presentation brought about the conference was not upset by this entry of harsh political reality The Israelis later returned and the Habitat meetings re turned to the larger con undrums of finding money for housing and global will be peoples to make the ideas of Habitat come true In this regard the rich na tions have again been casti gated by the poor ones for their indifference and exploitation This seems to be an actof faith by delegates from poor nations and should be analysed for what it is political band standing on behalf of the domestic political scene back home The colossal amount needed for housing in the world we are told by Habitat big shots like British economist Barbara Ward can never be found so long as the weapons industry has such willing world custom ers But submit it is some of the selfsame complaining poor countries who are the most ava ricious arms buyers African states with illiteracy ratzs above 60 per cent scram ble eagerly for Russian East European French and British weapons Libya with population of less than two million many of them illiterate in their native Arabic has staggering weap ons array with more British tanks on order than now on ser ve with the British Army in NATO ALWAYS NEW GUNS Syria already has the latest Soviet MiG25 in squadron serv ice as does Castros Cuba Even South Africa in spite of bitter racism is supposed to be sell ing small arms under the table to black nations against whom it may fight some day Poor donor nations and rich armsproducing ones together east and west should have conference on this global prob lem should buy

we can stick that northern pipeline right through their front door You know theres got to be some give and take in this world Yes replied love is manysplendored thing MW
