is blessed by Rev Canon Horace Baugh during the Fall blessing ceremony to Hy DR RYNAHI MP Simcoe North Just recently made tour of the Connaught Laboratories in Toronto now owned by the government of Canada through the Canada Development Cor poration When say owned by the government of Canada mean it is you the taxpayer It was your money which set up this Crown corporation and in which the government expects you to invest your money However if the present trend continues you will have to make up the yearly deficit of this laboratory 11 is no trade secret that governments are very inept zit ninning anything even Parliament Connaught laboratories were set up more than 50 years ago by the University of Toronto to produce an antitoxin for diphtheria at time when there was only one roducer in North America in United States It was also memorial to the great work donc by Doctors Bunting and Best in the discovery of insulin which not only saved thousands of lives but also alleviated the scaring fear of diabetes which was so fatal in many cases The discovery of insulin was followed by its manufacture in Connaught Laboratories and Canadian insulin became famous world wide product un matched by any other country The quality of Canadian insulin was without peer and sold at competitive prices The Laboratory was taxed to its capacity in producing insulin During this time the laboratory was run by the Board of Connaught and the University of Toronto Grants and earnings paid its way on naughl Laboratories owned property of over 600 acres on dowcdtoit Then the govcrnmcnl of Canada formed the Canada Development Corporation and began to look around for projec ts One such project proved to be the Connaught Laboratories Soon things began to go wrong and the government poured in millions of dollars MADE PROBLEMS Over its history Connaught Laboratories had been self sustaining within its own medical complex but once the government put hand in problems arise The price of in sulin was not meeting com petition wiih the United States and other countries The wuality control was slip ing resulting in product ich was not measuring up to stan dards It appeared that the gremlinswereatwork vice president of research and development had been let go because corrective measures be had recommended were not being made This was man with great deal of ex periencc in this field The food and drug directorate had to in vestigate complaints It found that certain changes had to be made Who knows why they had not been done when pointed out previously Since the government took over many products have been dropped and people laid off work Right now Connlab is bottling the swine flu vaccine which is plirchased from Australia in an unrefined state It will be refined and protein taken out which often causes reactions in susceptible people Our only source in Canada equippe to make this vaccine is the Frappier Institute in Montreal which has in ca acity of approximately 300000 oses SELLING HALF Connaught Laboratories is selling half of its 100 acre site in BLESSING FOR HONEY Montreals Mount Royal The ceremony was attended by Toronto for housing develop ment The people at the Con naught Laboratories were cour teous and friendly Certainly one is aware that some knew what it was all about and yet had distinct impression that sense of change was needed in the whole complex but what when or where are the priorities in making this self sustaining and competitive laboratory saw rooms that were not being uscdzindc uipmenl lying idle Natually 011$ occurs in any business but when any in dustry is slateowned it loses its incentive to keep such rooms in use and equipment busy They know that they can always be kept afloat by government whereas private cnirc rise must be run at profit in ccnlivc is there and if profits in mostly dogs cats and other domesticated pets and their owners and at least one horse art of Montreals mounte squad that patrols Mount Royal CPPhoto 7¢ WA Connaught Laboratories toured by Dr Rynard crease the business grows and reaps its own rewards In public business you only go so far on seniority the carrot is not there sincerely hope that Connaught Laboratories will regain some of its lost prestige if not all and as taxpayer hope it will be really successful and by so doing take little pressure off everyones pocketbook would just like to add that there has been great deal of discussion and contoversy about the allergic reactions to swine flu vaccine talked to group of 40 and they had had no reactions to the vaccine in trial tests The problem is that in the short time allotted to making this vaccine it does not give the necessary time to refine out all the impurities to point where there will be little or no reac tion The Barrie Examiner Tuesday Oct 197615 by Auto safety law under study By ARTHUR EVANS MPP Simcoe Centre Have you ever been passenger in an automobile when out of the blue straight in front of you is another vehicle driven in an obviously drunken and dangerous fashion Especially if this experience occurs in midwinter with icy roads lot of people havent direc tly faced such incidents but it doenst take much imagination to understnad the fear of ac cident and the recurring anxieties after such an event even if no accident results That experience illustrates the vital significance of the many issues facing the all party select committee on hgighway safety as it moves around Ontario to hear the many oral briefs and review af terwards the written sub missions from various delegations representing safety councils insurance companies doctors town councils chiefs of police and the driving public Thus far the committee has travelled to Timmins Oshawa Hamilton Windsor and num ber of other communities in its search for realistic proposals on curme carnage on our highways BRIEFS REVIEWED As parliamentary assistant to transportation and com munications minister Jin Snow have been reviewing some of these briefs and thought that brief summary of their proposals and concerns would indicate the depth of con oem on highway safety which is evident by all these organizations appearing before the Sleect Committee The Driving School of On tario for example argues most persuasively for the licensing of driving schools in the procince By such rocedure more uniform stan rds are set for the driving school industry in dustry resulting in more professional tone for this group and in the long run better driving records for all who learn to drive Many groups advocated theat more improvements are needed upon the conviction of driver for impaired driving Instead of three month suspension for imparied driving these spokesmen want to see an automatic suspension at the time of the registration of the conviction For repeated im paired convictions second time the license should be suspended for one year and on third repeat suspension for life great

at tended the 80th birthday arty of Mrs Edna Church Os orne in Barrie on Sept 26 Mrs Robert Prentice returned home Sept 27 after twoweek bus tour in the Maritime provinces schools Driver examinations need to be more demanding in screening out cases of poeple who could cause an accident because of an impediment Police officers use con siderable time checking up on ownership changes of automobiles While in Windsor police personnel suggested that license lates for individuals in stead for automobiles would help to reduce the time con suming aspects of police in vestigation which involve stolen cars Presently car can be sold several times without any registration change In the event of stolen cars it is even harder to trace ownership SCRAPYARD LICENCE One of several difficulties en countered by police is the non licensing of scrapyards Only auto wreckers who buy cars for rts are required to rem0ve cense plates but not so for scrapyard dealers In these in stances the license lates probably remain in circu ation Those plates can wind up being used on stolen vehicles Two possible solutions could help to resolve this problem Either license individual owners or specify that scrapyard dealers must come under the same provisions as auto wreckers STATE INTERFERENCE The great disadvantage as the civil liberties people would point out iis that licensing an in dividual owner as compared to licensing an automobile smacks of too much in terference in the lives of people by the state Already many people believe that the state is pushing itself too far in that direction But is that the only question facing legislators of this select committee and possible the whole legislature Other fac tors ahave to be examined in cluding the rising rate of crime overall the number of stolen vehicles the pricing of public services such as police in tracking down these cars and finding the car theirves and then balancing all these together to arrive at useful and practical decision for the greatest benefit of society and the protection and wellbeing of that society Other important issues under consideration range from whether moped drivers should be required to wear helmets to an assessment of Ontarios motor vehicle inspection program to the new traffic clinic and court knwon as the North York Traffic Tricunal The other approach to reducing highway deaths and accidents focuses on the preventative theme The select committee will look at existing public education programs and seek specific means of trying to improve them or try new ap proaches Still too eally to tell is the suc cess of the new seatbelt law in preventing deaths The first quarter of 1976 was an out standing success but results of the second uarterare less en couraging ban the second uarter of 1975 even though April 1975 freak winter storm lessened the number of fatalities know that the all party Committee heard wide spec trum of views during its Toron to hearings An interim report report of the Committees fin dings is due at the end of Sep tember with the final report due at the end of this year Chamber of Commerce has 125000 members By ESTELLE DORAIS MONTREAL CP Sam Hughes executive director of the Canadian Chamber of Com merce and its fulltime spokes man for the last year says his job is challenge no one could refuse The chamber has 125000 members representing com panies of all sizes in all in dustries It submits briefs to the government expressing the business point of view and acts as kesman on matters which fect business We have one very basic ob jective and that is to assist gov ernment in creating an atmos phere in which private enter prise can operate be ex plained He said the chamber now is awaiting word from the federal government expressing its view on the role of business in tripar tite consultation among busi ness government and labor on major economic issues However Mr Hughes said he doubts whether the government will do so URGED JOINT APPROACH Tripartite consultation was first proposed by the Canadian Labor Congess at its annual convention in May It calls for oint economic planning by usiness labor and govern ment Some speakers at the Chambers convention in Mon treal this week also made men tion of it Labor has stro view on the subject but ave not heard the government come out with as stro statement Nor has usiness come out with any statement at all we are waiting to be asked Mr Hughes says his 25 years experience in finance ives him an understandin of cham bers work and is five years volunteer work for the chamber gives him good knowledge of its policies man in his position must have good feel for chamber views because he is on the spot when reporters call for reaction to government policy changes such as revisions to antiin flation board regulations He must also manage per manent secretariat of 50 people needed for about 40 committees of specialists who write cham ber briefs We try to anticipate legisla tion and prepare input for 0t tawa he said WORK CONSTANTLY Since moles must eat almost their own weight in food each day they are active night and day in rapid cycles of work and rest TOO MUCH HURTS Rapeseed
