By SIIZWARI aclEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Considering the massive challenge the government faces in trying to get its bilingualism program back into public favor following the reccnt air strike remarkably little is being said by Prime Minister Trudeau In fact the official silence is al most deafening The protest by air traffic con trollers and the airline pilots against the use of French in groundtoair communication flushed out rescntniciils that even shocked the politicians Obviously said the prime minister we still have great deal of explaining to do But litt has come from the government Mr Trudeau aced panel of journalists on Frenchlanguage television and did an effective job of dcfcn ding the governments actions but there has been no similar production for English speaking viewers Meanwhile letters continue to pour into the prime ministers office and the office of Transport Minister Otto Lang as Englishspeaking Canadians vent their rescnt mcnt against any use of French involving airplanes And letters Preachers career began when he was 17 years old By MIKE MULLEN The Tinicsilobc SAINT JOHN NB Pi Under the roof of tent pitched in field at Washburn Me the 14yearold Baptist farmboy lis tcncd attentively as the cvangc list Canadianborn Aimcc Seniple McPherson preached And then he says recalling that night in 1917 the spirit of the Lord moved among us and had the Pentecostal experience of speaking in tongues It changed my whole life Three years later Clifford Crabtree bid adieu to his fa thers Easton Mc farm in the rolling hills of Aroostook Coun ty to become preacher him self Today at 72 Mr Crabtree continues to preach for the same reasons he left his home in 1920 felt had good iicws to tell and wanted to tell it That good news has not changed in more than half century He has dedicated his lifetoprcaching In fact Mr Crabtree says he believes part of the reason tra ditional churches have lost members is becausc they have departed from fundamental Bible teaching in an attempt to make their churches modern Modernism has been washout he says feel the fundamental groups are doing the big work today Gods Word hasnt changed The Bible says the same things today it said when was young man and the same things it has always said We dont need new Gospel for new generation REMAINSAITIVE Although he claims to be semiretired Ir Crabtree re mains busy He has been preaching three times week at two churches in thcarca In those churchs advertise ments they tell those ho come to expect to hear thc oldltash ioned ypc of preaching Mr Crabtree says its just another way of saying that Gods word hasnt changed And he does not preach it any differently than he ever did In addition to local preaching he visits number of centres and church in Halifax The son of Baptist Sunday school superintendent who also converted to the Pentecostal faith Clifford Crabtree left home at 17 The future didnt seem to hold too much for young man and there were so few of us lPentecostalsl he said in an interview They called us Holy Rollers and we were looked down on They said first we were either of the devil or crazy But when their relatives started joining us they didnt call us crazy anymore because they didnt want people thinking their relatives were crazy But times have changed de spite the persistence of the IIon Rollcr tag The Pentecostal movement is something here to stay and it is more respected PLANNED TENT MEETINGS After roaming Maine and New Brunswick for few years Mr Crabtree and some of his young friends decided to go to Florida to hold tent meetings That was in the fall of 195 On the way they were told about two sisters in Macon Ga who were holding tent meetings They stopped to par ticipalc and ended up staying the entire winter The two sisters Carro and Susie Davis were to become the backbone of the Pentecostal movement here and along with Mr Crabtree and few friends founded the Full Gospel Assem bly here Miss Carro Davis still is copastor of the church Recalling the beginning of the Full Gospel movement here Mr Crabtree said it star ted out as loday meeting on downtown street in the fall of 1924 and blossomed into char chfounding evangelical movement Our thought wasnt to found church but to hold evange listic meetings he said It grew so we stayed on The location of the meetings moved to hall In that church we raycd for 1000 sick people and ad 200 conversions in one monlt th alone LEFT CITY With the church well estab lished Mr Crabtree left Saint John in 1932 to do more pioneer work around the Maritime provinces and Maine After further work with the Davis sisters in Saint John he left again in 1940 and estab lished Pentecostal Church in Bangor Me Beginning With congregation of 27 in 1910 the church grew to become Maines largest Pentecostal church with Loooseat building before he left it in 1970 The movement had variety of homes but settled in down town theatre in 1957 His wife who had earlier this year was an inspiration in the early years When went away she would do the preaching he said She was college girl who had good run of the Bible and was very knowledgeable about Sunday school After the Crabtrees retired to Brewer Me their son Charles pastor of the Assembly of God Pentecostal Church in Des Moines Iowa suggested his parents should move to churlt ch there for retired mis sionaries Although they remained in the church home until Mrs Crabtrees death Mr Crab trees attempt to retire was shortlived thought could sit back and take it easy after all those years was there for while Then got the old urge from Quebec indicate equal resentment as voters charge the government with sacrificing its principles on bilingualism to satisfy the de mands of Englishspeaking pi lots and controllers MAY QUIT Some Qucbcc Liberals are even considering leavmg caucus over the issuean in dication that things must be very serious at the constituency level Serge Joyal Liberal MP for the Montreal riding of Mai sonncuvcRosemont has made the rare move of instituting lclt gal proceedings against the transport department and he has written Mr Trudeau asking for his advice on whether he should remain with the party Others who are seriously as scssing their future with the caucus include Pierre De Bane from Matanc and Louis Duclos from Montmorencv Mr Joyal was recently quoted as saying Mr Trudeau may be dangerously unaware of how strongly Quebecers feel about this bilingualism issue It was strange to hear Quebec Liberal say that maybe he Mr Trudeau does not have YOUR BUSINESS Housing market feels squeeze By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Another slump seems to be shaping up in housing Thats bad news for house builders and for anyone with house to sell But it isnt neces sarily good news for home seekers since house prices and mortga interest rates are still too igh for comfort Latest figures from Central Mortgage and Housing Corp CMHC show that the annual rate of housing starts fell to 245100 units in Aprildown 46 per cent from 257000 rate in March and 256 per cent lower than the peak rate of 329500 in February tThose are the numbers that would have been started if the monthly rate had remained steady for full 12 months About 225000 new houses were started in 1975 and 227000 in 19741 Economists at Wood Gundy Ltd Canadas largest in vestment house predict rapid decline in housing starts throughout secondhalf 1976 The current level of housing starts is inconsistent with mort gage rates in the 11 Hamper cent range and realincome growth of less than three per cent According to CMHC average interest rate on mortgage loans guaranteed under the National Housing Act was 1178 per cent in April and on conventional loans 12 03 per cent SlBSIDIES HELP This years rate of house building activny would be even lower of it were not for the various government subsidies that have stimulated construc tion of condominiums and tow nhouses But in many parts of Canada these markets are becoming saturated and builders in ventories are uncomfortably large And as sales of new con dominiums weaken it becomes increasingly difficult for present owners of con dominiums to sell their proper ty in the resale market clearly in mind the feelings of the Quebec population Despite the rimc ministers telecast on subject Mr JOyal believes that very dangerous impression is being created in Quebec that only the rovince is fighting for French anguage rights There is feel ing he said that Ottawa has sold out But still believe very strongly in the prime ministers leadership he said With Parliament adjourncd for the summer it was as sumed that Mr Trudeau and other key members of his cabi net would immediately plunge into some evangelical work on behalf of bilingualism But there has been no indication of this so far LITTLE TRAVEL Officials in Mr Trudcaus of fice say they know of no par ticular programs the prime minister may have in mind re garding the re romotion of bilingualism An no extensive Canadian travels are planned for the summer months apart from twoday jaunts to the Maritimes and southern On tario in late September While turnover of those prop erties is slow it isnt much bet ter in conventional housing No matter what form of accom modation young family may have its eyes on high asking prices and mortgage rates com bine to takea bite of nearly one third out of the average fam ilys disposable income In the recent past potential buyers were confident that in flation would push their in comes substantially higher year by year allowing them to take on monthly financial commitment that would remain constant in dollar terms but diminish as proportion of income Now however inflationary wage and salary increases are no longer as inevitable as they were and more families are re signed to staying in lessthan perfect accommodation if they just cant afford the house of their dreams NEW REALISM Anyone selling house in the present market must be completely realistic because certainly the potential buyers are says James Mizzoni president of the Toronto Real Estate Board They have greater range of properties to choose from than they have had for long time perhaps greater than ever and they arent gain to pay more for house than ey think its worth The main factor is the pres ence of certain controls in the economy that create uncer tainty about future income for many people Rent control reduces the mobility of people and makes them slow to leave what seems like comfortable situation for some other location where there could be better jobs and better incomes This reduced mobility which is not good for the economy of large country must be accounting for some of the hesitancy among potential housebuyers Any longterm solution must be based on reducing the long term rate of inflationand no less important inflationary ex pectations Luck important for leaders By BOB BOWMAN Prime ministers like ath letes need little luck Skill is essential of course but good fortune often plays the most im portant role Alexander Mackenzie Can adas first Liberal prime minis ter was handicapped by de pression when he was in office 18741878 RB Bennett suffered wor se fate when he became prime minister Aug 1930 In fact it was WL Mackenzie King defeated by Bennett in the 1930 general election who was lucky IIe escaped the re sponsibility of leadership in the worst five years Canada had ever known Bennett seemed to have ev erything going for him when he became prime minister Nobody realized how bad con ditions would become although the stock market crash in De tober 1929 had been severe blow Bennett began his career by earning $500 year as school teacher in New Brunswick but even then predicted that he would become prime minister He moved to Cal ary in 1896 and joined the law irm of Sena tor James Lougheed grand father of the present premier of Alberta

Burcau Thomson News Service TORONTO Loan sharks beware Bait is being prepared for you And come year or so from now perhaps longer but inevitably if you continue to prey you will be in high danger of being hooked and landed OUTSIDE LAW Loan sharking is running sorc in our society which long has defied correction Historically an everpresent irritant in recent times it has grown so much that it is now ac cepted as being one of the foun dation stones of organized crime in America Though here in Ontario it has not become so malignant as in other areas of Canada and the United States it nevertheless is very much present and has been growing And the reason is has been growing is that it has been very hardto bring within thelaw NO TEETH Actually for many man ears we ave had law whic as been directed at loan shark ingthe Unconscionable Transactions Act But this has been very weak There have been few success ful cases under it but it has been so poor it seldom has ap peared inthe courts The weakness is in two direc tions One its vagueness And Bennett developed success ful law practice including great deal of work for the and was millionaire in his 305 Then he was left great deal more money by Mrs EB Ed dy widow of the Ottawa mat maker After career in Alberta poli tics and as member of Borden and Meighcn federal govern ments Bennett became leader of the Conservative party in 1927 He was rich and powerful when he became prime minister in 1930 and 185 lie the depression said he wou solve the unemployment problem or perish in the attempt He did rish politically in 1935

lack of teeth The only direction to the court is that it may act if it fin ds that having regard to the risk and to all the circum stances the cost of the loan is excessive and that the transac tion is harsh and uncon scionable Practically anything could be permissible under this direc tion and to actually find tran saction unconscionable would require high degree of hair splitting which most judges would want to avoid Then if it does find bad transaction all the court can do is order repayment of any ex cess There is no penalty other than this MAKE CRIMINAL What the government is working on now is to draw up set of precise conditions for loans It is trying to set out specific areas in which loan would be illegal But beyond this and most im portantly it is aiming to give its legislation some teeth There will definitely be some penalty And it can persuade Ottawa to go along loan shark in may end up as criminal of ence We will have to see what fi nally comes out of this But even the effort is an example of government at its best trying to protect the weak in society Canadians pay too much for funerals official MONTREAL tCPi Cana dians often ay twice as much for funera than is necessary particularly FrenchCana dians who will go into debt to get something lavish often against the wishes of funeral di rectors says Quebec government official familiar With the industry His sentiments were echoed by Harry Baker executive sec retary of the Memorial Associ ation of Montreal group for med to eliminate elaborate materialism in funerals There is worldy desire to make showing before the neighborswto keep up with the Jonesesthat is totally unne cesary and only occurs in North America Mr Baker said The last available figure for the average cost of funeral in CanadaArpublished in 1972 was $665 up from $554 in 1968 Inflation will probably have raised todays prices to about SLIXX Funeral costs in Quebec were the highest of any province at an average of 8794
