Managing Editor JTha Barrie Examiner Monday August 1976 Some dog owners just dont care to thelalread and even it were we just cant see any constables being Theyll always be with us but we wonder if they have to be with us quite so much We get the impression there are dog owners in Barrie who think con crete can be fertilized What other conclusion can be gifts large and left even on downtown drawn from the small streets We have to wonder about some of Barries do owners What kin of person would allow dog to do what some dogs are allowed to do on Barrie sidewalks Someone who has never heard of germs or public health Other cities have faced the problem of dogs and solutions have ranged from outright banning of dog oggie comfort ownership to stations We just cant see punishing the majority of dog owners who make sure their pets relieve themselves in places not likely to offend others because of an irresponsible few The tax burden is enough as it is without adding more city personnel to watch for irresponsible dog OWIIOIS The problem should not be handed hardpressed police too en thusiastic about the chore Doggie comfort stations are nice area but why taxpayers should shell out hardearned money on that ty of nuisance is beyond us that leaves action up plain ordinary resident of Barrie to the who doesnt want to dodge doggiedo nicely smal voived everytime he walks the street We sug est that if you see dog dirtying pavement you suggest to the owner that carrying shovel and bag to clean up of ter his pet might be an idea It is not the sort of thing most of us are accustomed to doing Most Canadians are reluctant to get in But there is much more fun ones hurl damental problem here than dog dirt on the street If the problem is left to the gown nment to deal responsible pet owners will be the with then those And once more the irresponsible few will have chipped away at the rights and privileges of the respon sible many DOWN MEMORY LANE IEi YEARS AGO IN TOWN Examiner 1966

unemployment and inflation reinforce each other For years policymakers have been seeking way to bring down both unemployment and inflation It has seemed al most as hopeless as trying to bring down both sides of see saw at the same time The problem is that as wage rates rise faster than inflation employers become increasingly wary in their use of labor Each inflationary wage in crease in other

econo mists at the University of Brit ish Columbiaand it looks promising The study entitled Tax Cred its For Employment Rather Than Investment by Ber ndt Kwaelman and Williamson was published last December It puts forward new con ceptan employment tax credit Employers would re ceivc credits for the jobs they provide in much the same way they receive such credits at present for investing in new plant and equipment in certain regions The credits would be based on either manhours iperson hours of employment on total payrolls or possibly on the rate of increase in each As with the tax credits for in vestment undertakings the government could designate certain regions or even certain ages and types of workers that need new employment op portunities the most Tax credits would then be granted to employers who make such job opportunities available Care would have to be taken Greenlialgh resulted damage but no injuries Lakeland tourist reception centre on Highway 400 reported registering 462

certain regions or groups didnt end tip by tak ing jobs away from other re gions and other groups COST COMPARISON How much would the employ ment tax credit cost The eco nomics division at Wood Gundy Ltd the investment firm has made rough calculation as suming the credit to be per centage of the increase in the employers wage bill further assumption is that it would be applied to British Columbia Quebec and the Maritimes Together they ac count for about 45 per cent of the labor force and 55 per cent of the unemployed Wood Gundy says We have estimated that tax credit which would cost the federal government the same amount as the cost in unemployment in surance benefits of one per cent in the unem loyment rate about 3600 mi lioni would re duce the unem loyment rate by slightly more an one per cent This direct impact would make the policy successful but the program would have fur ther social benefits indirectly too through employing the in dividuals affected rather than keeping them on the unem ployment insurance rolls It would also have benefit that could be shared by the working majority The government wouldnt be forced into policy of stimu lating the economy ithus fan ning the

Conservative Leader Joe Clark may not have made ti re sounding impact in Parliament Sliltt he assumed office five months ago but the public opin ion polls indicate that he is doing just finc across Canada Or perhaps its just that Prime Minister lrudeaus Lib crals are doing that badly In any event the latest Gal lup polls show that Mr Clarks Conservatives for the fifth con secutive month are widening their popularity edge over the Liberals The midJuly survey shows that the Conservatives now lead the Liberals by 15 per cciitage points 46 to The Tories shot ahead of the Liberals immediately after Mr Clark won the party leadership at the February convention in Ottawa And this was to be ex pcctcd considering all the teltL vision coverage given to the event But it was also expected that this surge would last just moiilh or two and that the Lib erals would again assume their traditional popularity ahead of the Conservatives However the trend has been in the other direction And now Mr Trudeau finds that his par tys popularity has dipped to its lowest level since he assumed office in Itltltt lnrty officials titlributc this to scvcrnl factors including an apparent dip in Mr

nearing at sea meeting By Al COLLETTI UNITED NATIONS CP After week of procedural de bate the fifth session of the UN Law of the Sea conference heads toward the hardbargain ing stage We have to find the right mechanism to get it going says Paul Lapointe acting head of the Canadian delegation The problem is that every body wants to be in the game and since there are about 157 players you can imagine the difficulty Its next to impos sible to have bargaining or renegotiating session with that number of participants More than 2000 delegates from 157 countries are partici pating in the sevenweek ses sion seeking global treaty on the oceans dozen delegations have dis puted procedures proposed for negotiating the key issues which must be settled before treaty can emerge We are just getting organ ized really Lapointe says STRESS ON KEY ISSIES Committees have been for med each with the task of con centrating as much as possible on key issues Among these are the mining of deepsea

groups may be needed to draft something and reconcile our difficulties What we hope for in this ses sion is to get rid of more of the contentious issues such as the differences between the land locked and coastal states We have time limit of three weeks on that the idea being that after three weeks we would go on to something else The landlocked states want share of profits and access to the

THE WORLD TODAY New York waits on Chase Bank By JOHN IIARHRUN Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service When visited David Rock efeller chairman of the giant Chase Manhattan Bank in New York in 1969 the attack on mul tinational corporations and their senior management had just started But this handsome wellcon nected scion of the Rockefeller and his bank seemed secure in spite of this growing phase Indeed at that time David Rockefeller was and continued to be the epitome of manage ment success plus having global reputation which began with his family name but which he personally augmented by making direct contact with almost everyone of great power in the world David Rockefeller has been just as much at homi with for mer British prime minister Ted Heath and the Shah of Iran as with Chou Enlai in Peking and the kings and CIIIIIS of rich illl states potential bank custom ers Often it was Day id Rockefel lcr himself rather than his ex otic hosts who was the centre of attention His function was as much international diplomacy as increasing bank busmess Ipstaging the Shah of Iran takes ood deal of determina tion an panache while deter mining at the some time to make him major bank cus tomer But now the huge bank over which he is chairman is in trouble financially and struc turally many of the reasons for this laid at Rockefellers door PROFIT DROP His bank reports

be pro longed prtxess Meanwhile Mr Clark is wisely not gloating over the ubllc opinion polls He too ltnows lot can happen in two years last year And now the analyses are being made about the obvious lag of Chase Manhattan not only in earnings potential but in other areas where David Rockefellers strong hand has played the guiding role Good corporate citizen that he is and staunch New Yorker Rockefeller helped bail out nearbankrupt New York more than any other giant bank in that financially destitute city by picking up about $400 million of its notes and bonds Internally the Chase has

close few branches and will let out about 300 valu able employees as costcut ting measure WILL ROCKEFELLER There are even rumors other major Chase shareholders and their powerful Wall Street friends would like to unseat Rockefeller While the heads of other giant US corporations are in trouble for their illegal or even crimi nal activities David Rockefeller has been hit by an oldfashioned

struction of second reprocessing plant capable of making atomic bomb material from nuclear fuel has heaped fire on an already heated debate over the subject here At issue IS whether the Lnited States should halt all future shipments of nuclear fuel to In dia as Canada recently did in an effort to restrict the possr bilin of new nuclear weapons bein built Intia set off an atomic exr plosmn in 197 using nuclear material from Canadiansup plied Circus reactor as well as US materialand equipment The US nuclear regulatory commission with sole responsi bility for issuing ex rt licen ces for nuclear fue recently held unprecedented public hearings on Indias latest bid for shipment of fuel within the next six months The climax of the hearings came when Myron Kratzer deputy assistant state secre tary told the commission India now has new reprocessing plant which will initially use material from Canadian reae tor He indicated later how ever that the Indians expect eventually to use US material intheplant It is virtual impossible to determine at is stage which way the nuclear issue may turn But should the commis sion issue licence for future sales to India the decision would be final and not subject to residential veto debate Questions have been raised however whether the agencys powers represent an uncon Situtional infringement of the presidents foreign policy pre rogatives and any deCiSion might be challenged in the courts on these grounds by the White House President Ford has not taken firm position on the Indian IUPSIIOII although White oustI sources say he would probably favor halting further sales Democratic prestdential norm nee Jimmy Carter has in dicated he opposes Such sales Proponents of the sale no tably the state department ar gue that if the United States re fuses to supply Indias nuclear power needb Other countries will be eager to do so and under far less stringent safeguards By continuing the sales state department officials say Washington can be in position to force India to agree not to use nuclear materials for military purposes Phase of ficials also contend that decision to stop future ship ments would open the United States to Third World ac cusations that it is part of con spiracy by leading industrial countries to withhold needed nuclear energy from poor state QUESTIONS Opponents of the sales say that India has proven itself no mm by setting off the l974 explosion and that its fuo lure actions are highly unpre dictable However the outlines or pgssible compromise seem to taking shape behind the scenes in
