Ellie Ifiarrir Examiner Published by Canadian Nowspapors Company limited to Bayflold Strut Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherGeneral Manager Walls Editor Emeritus Honshaw Managing Editor 4Tho Barrio Examiner Saturday July 17 I976 Good productivity vital for boosting economy While much stress has been given excessivegovernment tax spending in analysmg main causes of infla tion Ontarios provincial treasurer Darcy McKeough has been stress ing other aspects As the provincial treasurer sees it the enormous challenge of the future is going to have to be met head on by the heavy taxpaying private sector There will be many who will sup rt his view that productivity per ormance will be key factor It will be the means by which we are able to ensure for our labor force continued improvements in its ma terial standard of living he said during speech in Toronto The need for production efficiency so that goods can be produced at competitive prices on international mar ets of the future was given needed stress Mention also was made of the great need for steps to encourage more investment in Canadian manufacturing for in dustrial expansion to provide the necessary jobs to cope with unem ployment problems The governments role in fighting inflation was touched upon with the guideline restraints on tax spending increases prominently mentioned But some might feel too little stress was given the need for actual cutbacks in rapidly mounting ov ernment spending in order to re uce taxation No one is likely to argue that there couldnt be practical cut backs in such spending which in itself would help reduce the cost of living for most people Lower taxes for business and in dustry also could open the way for halt to price increases Excessive government spending which has resulted in deficit financ ing des ite recordhigh budgets at both oral and provincial levels could hardly be viewed as good ex ample for true restraint It is all very well to talk about so called selective tax increases which will not create undue hardship on citizens generally or retard econ omic growth But when such argu ments are presented they should be expanded so the full proposition can be made subject to general anal ysrs There should be general agree ment that restrictions on future bor rowing increases are past due Con tinually adding to the public debt is an obstacle in the way of economic recovery But in the final analysis long term prosperity will depend on the private sector under free enter prise system so important to our democratic way of life Increasing productivity is challenge in which all have part and responsibility to their fellow Canadians DOWN MEMORY LANE 30 YEARS AGO iN TOWN Barrie Examiner July 17 I946 Town of Barrie experiencing great est building boom in

difficult times By SIIIWAilI acl IIOI Ottawa llltllll Thomson News Service its probably good thing that our members of lnrlizi mcnt are getting II llircc iiioiilli lltlk in illtli constituencies before returning to Ottawa for the rigors of new session because Ilicy will be facing dif ficult times Just four years after Prime Minister Trudeau had op timistically proclaimed bilingualism to be an accepted fact across Canada the longest parliamentary session in our history ended with the country embroiled in renewed language war great deal of missionary Work will have to be done this summer if Parliament is to avoid another emotional outburst on the issue And no one could predict this when the current session began back on Sept 30 I974 following Mr Trudcaus brilliant election campaign which produced majority Liberal government Bilingualism wasnt mentioned in the throne speech which opened the session Of course neither were price and wage controls inflation was the overriding concern in 1974 and the throne speech said that Canada has thus far suffered less from in flation than most other coun tries but the problem is serious and urgent However we were entering new era of national cooper ation Together we would solve our problems NEW KlOPERATION The government has there fore initiated series of con sultations with the principal groups in our society business rofcssions farmers labor ant provincial governments They will be asked what proposals they can suggest and what contribution they are willing to make to defeat inflation And the throne speech went on to suggest this new emphasis on cooperation would extend far beyond inflation The fed cral government believes that it has the responsibility of playing the leading role in bringing Canadians together to discuss their common problems the government intends to fulfill this leadership role with vigor and determination These meetings will form part of major effort by the federal government to enter into dialogue with all segments of the Canadian community This longest parliamentary session which produced 84 pieces of legislation accom plished many things but there is certainly no evidence of any new unity and coopcration in the country The government not oiin failed to find con census on inflationfighting perhaps that was an impossi le goal anyway but even federal provincial conferences seemed to become more bitter than bet ter June conference on the economy ended with federal and provincial delegates scar cely speaking to each other And few days later Mr Trudeau told provincial pre miers he would establish gen uine Canadian constitution whether they liked it or not COMMONS CAPSULE Collective sigh of relief as record session ends From the Ottawa Bureau of Thomson News Service OTTAWA The current record session of this Parlia ment has endedwith collec tive sigh of relief As the debate on capital un ishment dragged into its inal days it was apparent that some of the MP5 were gettin as punchy and frustrat as Parliament Hill staff Tem rs flared and tongues sli The most embarrassing slip was made by Bob Kaplan par liamentary secretary to Health and Welfare Minister Marc La londc who responded to ques tion concerning the content of birth control pills The active ingredients of pills are matter of public record he explained published an nually in the condominium The information is published in the phar maceuitical and specialities compendium Mr Kaplan con tinued after pause to straighten his tongue Ged Baldwin PCPeace Riveri remarked on the pen trating answer to his question Socred Leader Real Caoucttc has always had low opinion of journalists but perhaps because of the length of the sitting his criticism has been blunted even more Offended by Frenchlan guage television interview of Prime Minister Trudeau during the air traffic control dispute Mr Caouette labelled two of the reporters blockheads who could not and would not un derstand the bilingualism issue There are blockheads on both sides of the linguistic barrier Mr Trudeau replied Pat Nowlan PCAnnapolis Valley wants to correct few errors made over the past few hundred years by other black heads Anticipating problems be tween Canada and France over the intentions of each country to establish zoomile offshore zones Mr Nowlan wants to re move the anomaly of history which granted France the islan ds of St Pierre and Miquelon off Canadas east coast Mr Trudeau who recently met with French President Valery Giscard dEstaing in Puerto Rico admitted he did not have the gall to raise the BIBLE THOUGHT For will declare mine iniquity Iwill be sorry for my sin Psalms 38 18 when we reach this point in our lives we can look for the burden to go and the blessing to come Except ye repent shall all likewise perish llardiy the stuff that contrib utes to worthwhile dialogue with all segments of the ana than community LAME SHARED Obviously all the fault for an apparent deterioration in na tional cooperation does not lie at the foot of the federal gov ernment Mr Trudeau cer tainly had nothing to do with some Albertans carrying hum per stickers which said let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark And the long alllory battle between Ontario and Alberta over oil prices couldnt be predicted when the Trudeau government wrote its throne speech Its probably also fair to say that the opposition was not al ways particularly constructive when it came to suggesting remedies individual Spats between dif ferent levels of government tend to dissipate as fast as they arise and few of these caused great national concern But the current backlash ainst bili ngualism which bub led to the surface in the wake of the air strike is another matter It will certainly be with us when new Parliament begins in October Many MPs went home feeling somewhat depressed about the current state of FrenchEnglish relations and this applies par ticularly to MPs from Quegtec Feelings are running high With all parliamentarians tired from the long session this would not be good time to be gin an emotional debate on na tional unity But after three month rest they will hopefully bring us through another crisis issue at the Caribbean confer ence do not think that the leader of the ition raised with the Presi ent of the United States the question of repatriat ing the Alaskai panhandle ei ther he added When Mr Nowlan persisted the PM said that in such im portant matters as this con cerning Canadian territorial ambitions would think it would be useful to have at least bipartisan policy so will ap proach the leader of the Opposi tion when he is here to see whether he is interested in for ming package in which we ctxild claim lot of lands in cluding St Pierre and Mique Ion the Alaskan panhandle and perhaps parts of Maine for New Bnmswick If can get that support for bi rtisan policy we might also ave joint election cam me Theres new job designation in the already overclassified deeply stratified and

Minister Trudeau said the re resentatives from that is and must be called Taiwanese and not Chinese Inadverdently and unin tentionally Mr Trudeau raised point made by Taiwanese na tionalists that their island should be truly independent state free of the 27yearold rule of the former Chinese gov ernment which came over from the mainland in 1949 Taiwan not only has the con troversial Republic of China the continuation of the Kuomin tang regime which ruled in China before the Communists but determined independence movement The third factor in Taiwans existence is the claim to that island by the les Republic of China as an in erent part of the mainland Communist re gime This claim had been the ma jor stumbling block in Pekinng efforts to win recognition Western countries especially the ones whose products and technology China needed most It was the socalled Caner dian formula of recognition of Peking Oct 13 1970 which broke that Ingram The ex pression we and the Chi nese settled for

Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service its eas to blame developers and buil ers for the cc in creases that have ma home ownership more difficult than ever Its just as easy and almost as valid to blame the an for the increases in the monthly bills that hcdelivers Granted the development in dustry probably has its share of profiteers whose goal is big quick windfall profits But for every overnight mil lionaire in the industry there are probably several overnight paupersentrepreneurs who took risk and ended up losing their shirts on those houses that seem so outrageously priced They woul passio nately that the bamc should be placed on all three levels of governmentfor the monetary policy that interest rates skyhigh for tne interminable bureaucratic delays in giving approval to housing projects and for the building codes that prevent builders from effecting any sensible economies Heres the case history of developer who spent four years bringing subdivision to com pletion In 1972 he paid 01750 for three parcels of suburban land totalling 33 residential lots He paid $95000 cash and borrowed the remaining $35750 on three oneyear mortgages at interest ofeight and nine per cent He estimated the cost of land savicing legal fees commie sions and park dedicabons at $356000 making his total cost 3757750 Next be contracted to sell the land to builder for $82501 That would produce profit of 367250 on his 895000 in vestmentwhethought But two neighbors objected to his plan claiming that the lots were unsuitable for the semi detached housing he had plan ned Two years
