3112 Earth Examiner Published by Canadian Newspaper Company Limited 16 Boyftald Street Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherGeneral Manager Walls Editor Emeritus Henshow Managing Editor 4Tho Barrie Examiner Saturday July 31 1976 Attempt at hiding raises some questions Even in these inflationridden days salary of more than 330000 is almosts ectacular To most arrie residents salary of more than $20000 is almost awe inspiring And salary of $1500 or more is not to be sneezed at Twentyoi ht public servants of the people Barrie earn 315000 or more year Five earn 830000 or more seven more 320000 or more Until The Examiner printed the salaries in Wednesdays newspaper the salary levels of the senior employees at city hall had been closelyguarded secret The invention of the photocopier has made secrets obsolete and while certain elected and civic of ficials are scurrying about to find the Deep Throat at city hall more significant issue is being ignored The only elected members of council who knew who was being paid what were the members of the general government committee Other members seated on less favored committees were kept in the dark Why The Examiner asked for the figures following Monday nights council meeting The figures were not available and The Examiner was told the figures would not be available The reporter asking for the figures was asked how he would feel if his were to be piiblised for iill to see strange question as Ex aminer reporters are not paid from city taxos but city ball off cials are As well the figures should be available to any ratepayer who asks to see them But not even all members of council could get the figures Could it be that the favored few on council are just little embarrassed at the hefty salaries ould it be that there is consul was re iort saying too many on the city hall staff are being paid too much Could it be that the elected of icials who were privy to the secret became aware an empire had grown up under their noses an cm are which might be embarrass ing The Barrie taxpayer is hard pressed person Taxes kec on go ing up and tip the level service keeps on going down And the taxpayer certainly has the right to know how ALL his money is being spent and he cer tainly has the right to question the efficiency of that spending The attempt at hiding the salary figures from the taxpayer and from most of the taxpayers elected representatives aises questions which intelligent taxpayers should insist be answered DOWN MEMORY LANE 25 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner July 11 1951 Robbers made off with $4200 cash in daring

kinds of stories are float ing around about Amins sanity The most severe one originated Wllh an Israeli doc tor who once looked after him and who said he was suffering from advanced syphilis The doctor has Since denied the report and says as far as he knew at the time Amin was not victim if thats the word of venereal disease MUCH SELFlNDlLCENtE Certainly personal excesses with food drink and goodness knows what else are taking their toll of his bulky and once physically very tough ramc Presith Amins announce ment that he was coming to our Olympics was laughable One lengthy visit of that kind would guarantee his overthrow in the same way Amin tossed out the previous civilian president Mil ton Obote in 1971 while he was away on Commonwealth con ference Three years ago President Amin announced he would come to the Commonwealth Heads of Government con ference in Ottawa in August 1973 This resulted in the mounting of security force equalled in size only by the present Olym pics protection force In spite of Ugandas almost total economic collapse aug mented by the termination of diplomatic relations by Britain and the end of oil exports by Kenya Amin is laying claim to third

next two months Prime Minister Trudeau will shuffle his cabinet and it would begreat if could predict how he will go about it Trouble is havent the faintest idea Thats the whole problem with cabinet shuffles they are cnt irer in the hands of one man and he doesnt make habit of bringing outsiders into his con fidence on the subject Just the other lay was read ing prediction that State Sec retary llugh Faulkner might be dropped from cabinet Before that read that Privy Council President Mitchell Sharp might also walk the plank along with Public Works Minister CM lrury There have been pre fictions that Iona Campaignolo from Skecna will soon be iii vited to sit at Mr lrudeaus Round Table Ive been told by seasoned observers that Herb tray fired as minister of con sumer affairs few years will be invited back into ca net And for the last five yearsl have been hearing that John Reid from KenoraRainy River is standing on the verge of cabinet appointment Now there are published re ports that James Jerome the Speaker of the ommons and Liberal MP for Sudbury might be invited into the cabinet And of course there have been all sorts of predictions that Andre Oiiellet who quit the cabinet few months ago after there were allegations of interference with the courts will be return ingtothefold In the various stories being written about the next cabinet shuffle most of the present 26 nized you guessed it by the Russians Amin has become growing embarrassment to all other Af rican leaders who nevertheless could not openly countenance the discrediting of him as fel low African leader by the white rich countries of the world Accordingly they let him continue his role as president of the Organization of African Un ity MAL knowing they could downgrade him here by simply not turning up for the OAU con ference he is chairing This was the case during the Israeli hostage crisis when Amin flew off to the latest OAU meeting in Mauritius to have only nine of the approximately 10 African states send their leaders Mltll LONGER Its hard to prophesy how Amin will go but go he must It could be from the kind of inter nal coup armyinspired which placed him in power in 1971 mm his role as army chief of staff Or one of those assassination tries could finally succeed Whatever happens his own countrymen remain his most exposed victims HELP FIGHT CANCER LONDON fund started after the death of Prof Gordon Hamilton Fairley the cancer expert killed in Lon donbombing last October has raised £135000 8243000 the money will be used to finance training fellowships in cancer research and leukemia in which Prof Fairley specialized ministers are getting their names in print IIANOES NEEDED There is no doubt that the rcscnt government could use it of cosmetic surgery so far as the appearance of cabinet is concerned but major shuffles are not easily undertaken Bringing in fresh faces means lumping veterans and perhaps losing sitting members And in view of the current public opinion polls this is not the right moment for byclce tions There are so many factors in volved in forming cabinet that any prime minister Would want to shy away from major shuffle There has to be some regional balance the proper Frcnclrspcaking represen tation some religious equality professional considerations and popularity factors Many qualified Mls have had to rcmain on the backbenchcs because someone from ncigh lmring riding got into cabinet first It is embarrassing for an M1 to be constantly mentioned as likely cabinet appointee be cause if he doesnt make it he begins to look like failure Mr Reid for instance has long been mentioned as certain cabi net material But despite his ualifications perhaps Mr rudeau feels Northern Ontario is well enough represented by Manpower Minister Robert An dras So far as am aware the prime minister has never dis cussed possible cabinct ap pointments with anyone NOTORGANIZED There have also been some indications in the past that cabinet appointments are not always as organized as they seem Aides to Mr Trudeau said that last year just few hours before announcing cabi net changcs the prime minister was still asking ministers whether they wanted new por tfolio On flight between Ottawa and Calgary 12 years ago watched as former prime minister Lester Pearson read long newspaper story about pending cabinet shuffle The story referred to one particular Ml as certain appointee guess have to admit that he is an almost perfect candi date remarked the prime minister But he doesnt seem to have any sense of humor The appointment never came There is no difficulty coming up with dozen new candidates for Mr lrudcaus cabinet but unless the prime minister tells us what he thinks of them its wasted exercise And since he is not about to do this intend to wait patiently for his announcement Careful planning can pay off for those seeking career By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service As you might inquire of any recent graduate of our educa tional system competition for good jobs is stiff That finding would probably be confirmed by plenty of ma ture people who have unexpect edly found themselves job hunting as result of merger takeover or failure of the com pany they had been working for At any given time however chances are that there are plen ty of good unfilled jobs waiting to be filled by the right person That right person could even be someone already em ployed Loyalty to present employer is fine but theres plenty of evidence that some companies dont believe in re ciprocating that loyalty when business slows down and econo mics have to be made Here then are some check points for the person interested in finding new jobeither out of necessity or yen to move ahead in more promising com Pant1 Always keep handy sup ply of your resume List not only your education formal training and job experience but also your petsonal interests and skills Even though you may never be paid for them those interests and skills could reveal good deal about you and your personality The purpose of the resume obviously is to tell potential employers what you have done in the past and thus to indicate what you are likely to be able to accomplish in the future Your resume naturally should depict you in favorable light But dont let that lead you into the pitfall of including any inconsistencies no matter how small Since your resume is selling tool it should be readable and well organizedthe person you are trying to impress is prob ably pressed for timeand it shoul beattractivelooking As for form resume might start with page containing very brief summary of your record It will serve as an index to the more detailed career in formation on the following Pages Indicate your earnings on your last job if you had one or on your current job if you are employed In the latter case dont give your reasons for looking for another job save that for the interview If you are asked to fill out jobapplication form apply the same principles as you would in writing resume to the extent you can The form however may ask questions that you would rather ignore if the answers would en sure your rejection In that case you can leave such ques tions blank which will give you an opportunity to explain your position face to face Dont hide your light under bushel If you are experienced and wellknown by others in iyour field capitalize on that by eeping in touch with such people attending conventions and so on Perhaps you could join pro fessional or trade association speak at its meetings or write an article for itsjoumal If on the other hand you have had no experience your best course is probably to take any jobwithin reasonand use the contacts that you make and the experience you gain as stepping stones to the ideal job that you wanted in the first place No matter how you look at it being employed is better than being unemployed When you consult the Help Wanted advertisements learn to read between the lines Lets say youre an office worker and there are no advertise merits of positions for you But there may be an adver tisement for security guard and that suggests an office building That could be job lead worth following up THE PICK OF PUNCH Somctimes its better to by pass the personnel department of company and make your pitch directly to the head of the section that interests you That person rather than someone in personnel would probably make the ultimate decision about hiring people for that sec tion Dont judge the organization solely on the basis of the person for whom you would be working Your boss could move on to another job or another company before longso think about the organization itself Psychological testing is fa vored by some organizations as part of the recruiting process You can refuse to take such test if it makes you un comfortable Always keep in mind psy chologys value to you how ever in dealing with potential employers No matter what qualifications you have on pa per your potential employers decision will be based to some extent on personal and social factors which you should be constantly trying to turn to your own advantage Lets say youve progressed to the stage at which you and the potential employer seem to be satisfied with each other and the interview turns to the question of salary As rule its best to delay talk about money for as long as possible writes John TarA rant in How To Negotiate Raise tVan Nostrand Reinhold Ltd $1195 CANADAS STIQRY Close cooperation with Canada US By BOB BOWMAN On
