the trouble the Friends of the Fireball had getting council to agree to turn the building over to the FOF And remember restraint Remember how council decided to keep expenditures within an eight per cent ceiling Sure you remember all that Btit while you were remembering all that funny thing happened to some of the cit ys councillors They forgot And there on Wednesday night at meeting of the public works conr tnittee were some of the city aldermen being told that gee whiz shucks fellas the renovations to Barrie Arena are going to cost 50 per cent more than estimated And there were the alderpeople swallowing all this and inanfully admitting that it is STILL good deal for the city And there on Thursday night at special meeting of council were the citys aldermen going along with the public works committee motion by aldermen Jim Perri and Ed Thompson to keep the citys cost to $8000 was defeated Aldermen Ross Archer Alex Ar thur Nelson Garret Del Cole Paul Wessenger and George Harper were against the motion Color them big spenders all Favoring keeping the spending down to $8000 were Aldermen Perri Thompson Janice Laking Bill Campbell Ernie Rotman and Mayor Dorian Parker

referees and coaches and tell each other lies about their hockey playing days Oh yes And drink beer Anyway the Flyers anted booster club and they want it at the Barrie Arena on Dunlop Street So the Flyers went to council with an idea The renovations 524000 The Flyers would raise onethird Wintario onethird and the city one third Aiid the Flyers would get the area in the arena exclttsively for three years And who dont draw flies if youll pardon the pun Now each of the three will have to come up with 3311879 That this week Next week Who knows And meanwhile Councillors just seem to forget

Scry ice The socalled noiraligncd nations are meeting in strength at present in Sri Ianka thcnew name for Ceylon These countries are other wise identified as the emerging or developing or Third World nations Most of them have evolved from the former Eit ropean colonial systems Many have indigenous authoritarian or Marxistinspired govern ments There is scarcely dc mocracy in the whole lot In deed their concept of dc mocracy whether African Latin American or Asian is of ten closer to that of the dictato rial peoples democracy of the Soviet bloc Small wonder then that they insist on calling themselics nonaligned which indeed they re not Such countries as Cuba So malia Angola Guinea North Korea to cast the net very wide are either in the Soviet or hit or deeply committed to it Others like Guyana Algeria Vietnam Iraq and Syria have regimes with strong Iarist overtones but are not tlllttll or deeply committed to the Russians So why nonaligned The expression is the most forceful and indeed most vital one to show they have broken away from the imperial structures of Western capitalism NONALIGNED DEFINED To be allied linked or cont mitted to the Communist impe rial systems of Russia or the Peoples Republic of China is not seen as such in the eyes and thoughts of Third World lead ers Indeed it is form of the dreaded neo colonialismAthc fear of not being free from the colonial ap paratuswhich is associated with the West never with the Soviet or Peking orbits Surely to be as deeplycom mitted to the Soviet or Chinese industrial system for goods services and loans the

that the major national organ izations show leadership in bili ngualism at this time hope that the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmcn and all the trade unions of Canada will speak out and make it clear

arrival at Orwell Bay PEI in 1803 where he founded his first colony He brought three shiploads of set tlcrs whose descendants are still there Selkirk founded Baldoon in Upper Canada in 1804 but it failed Somehow the settlers said it was not suitable for agri culture It was case of bad management on their part be cause today the area is rich agricultural producer Selkirks founding of the Red River settlement which led to the development of Western Canada was in 1812 These enterprises cost Selkirk his fortune and led to his death The North West Com pany which raided the Red River coloin and kilch some of the settlers Iiad enough in fluence to bring Selkirk to court when he rataliated at Fort William Selkirk was fined £2000 In Britain Selkirk was ac cused of being coward and dcserting his country because he did his colonizing work in Canada during the Napoleonic wars It was also said that Selkirks real purpuse was not colonin tion but to get into the fur trade and acquire valuable mining properties He was even blamed for the overenthusiastic claims of one of his land agents who was en couraging settlers to go to RE The land agent adver tised that too could be grown in the swam

INTERPRETING THE NEWS Relations deteriorate between two Germanys By JOIIN HAY LONDON tCPtTbe 151h an niversary of the Berlin wall to discourage an exodus of East Germans finds relations be tween the two Germanys again deteriorating and the Russians again raising their voices in the diplomatic crossfire Some observers suggest the stiffening of the Communist at titude and the tightening of East German border vigilance may be aimed at national clec tions in West Germany to take place in October But it also may be an in dicalion the Communists fear closer relations with the West may lead to increased border breaches Recently East Ger man guards killed an Italian truck driver and West Ger man vacationer who strayed over the border This instantaneous trigger re action may indicate border ner vousness for despite in tensified vigilance some East Germans still manage to escape to the West But the shootings have produced sharp protests from West Germany and lately the intrusion of Soviet voices in the defence of East Germany AN TURN TAP The border is one of the most sensitive diplomatic issues in Europe The location of West Berlin deep inside Communist territory adds to its vulnerabil ity The Russians have shown in the past they can turn the Berlin tap to make relations with the West run hot or cold Whether currcnt East Ger man policy is aimed entirely at the October elections in West Germany or whether there is something more at stake re mains to be seen While the cur rent border friction may em barrass West German Chan cellor llelniut Schmidt the ousting of his government by the Christian Democrats may produce more rigid relation ship with the East The Christian Democrats have charged that Schmidt has been too lenient with East Germany Less dramatic than the bor der shootin is the dispute that has erupte over plans to give West Berlin some seats in the proposed European parliament to be elected from within the European Economic Commu nity EEC Elections for the parliament where members now are appointed by the nine EEC governments cannot be held for at least two years MOVE OPPOSED But the Russians have al ready protested that West Ber lin representation would violate the 1971 fourparty agreement on Berlin signed by the Soviet Union and the three Western powers The Russians contend that West Berlin surrounded by the wall and isolated in the middle of East Germany is not part of West Germany and has no right to send delegates to the Eu ropean parliament The Western powers argue that the Rome treaty setting up the EEC specifically includes West

Jobs home It didnt take long for protec IIOHISIH or mefirstism to spread to other industrialized countries The five intervening years have amply demonstrated that when each countrys goal is to maxmiize its own exports and minimize its imports all coun tries suffer from the resulting recession That recession combined with the inflation that accom panied it helped to convince the MidEast oil suppliers car let that they should quintuple the world price of crude oil in the winter of 197374even though it was the Yom Kippur war of October 1973 that was the immediate reason for the disastrous oilprice esceation International cooperation in the area of trade and foreign exchange has been breaking down for five years now As the years have gone bym nations have grown ac customed to the squeeze that has replaced the boom Economies have adt justed painfully 710 the oil price increase and govern ments have embraced inflation as the easy way of papean over the cracks in their econow
