the flame Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherGeneral Manager Walls Editor Emeritus 4The Barrie Examiner Any DM Henshaw Managing Editor Wednesday Oct 27 I976 road around the bay will be arterial route If Ald Perri had not an nounced he was withdrawing politics some of the things he said at council this week could easily have been interpreted as elec tioneering He did make valid point about councils desire to build road con necting Mulcaster and Bayfield Streeets at the bayfront He sees councils 76 vote to send back plan for parkland in that area to city development committee for inclusion of road as the thin edge of the wedge The only Good point But as the city grows more cor ridors will be needed to link it And the extension of parkland and an alternate route for traffic can be married logical reason for building road is to use it as an arterial route he charges from Council should wait until the parkland between Bayfield and Mulcaster is developed and start is made on more parkland east to the BlakeDunlopKempenfelt Drive intersection before it considers road And the road should be primarily to service parkland Mr Perri sees the miniroad as area the start of another connecting link Council has already changed its official plan to allow for arkway road to service parklan in the On one hand council has said Let there be road But many are leery of it becoming an arterial route The unfortunate thing is that any road around the bay will be used as an arterial route It will make many unhappy but there it is DOWN MEMORY LANE 25 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner Oct 27 1951 Nurses of Royal Victoria Hospital conducted fire drill with precision drew praise from Cheif Roly who watched with Mayor

only one at all in sight Hospital closings which could be another are before the coure ts and it is not expected that they will have dealt with them before the session winds up LIBERALS KEY Politically the session may not have all that much interest either in that because of the tender situation discussed the other day the two opposition parties maybe holding back In fact the first matter of po litical attention will be to assess whether they have changed their approach and if this years Poppy FundRoss Caldwell Singers gain prominence in radio and concert performances in Toronto

not be the daily heat and pressure of other years but there will have to be constant watch for slips by the opposi tion or openings it may give for the government to get to the people And then there will be lot of focus on the Liberals The Liberals perhaps are not the absolute key to the next election but they certainly are one of the key factors and it will be intriguing seeing whether they are able to start pulling themselves together and par ticularly whether Stuart Smith who has made more boobs than Gerald Ford will be able to straighten out his act IN IIERPRETING THE NEWS Hank may be needed for Rhodesian talks By BRUCE LIIVEIT WASHINGTON CP US State Secretary Henry Kissin ger whose shuttle diplomacy brought Rhodesian whites and blacks to British bargaining table in Geneva may have to become involved again as the talks show signs of breaking apart even before they begin The talks are scheduled to be gin in Geneva on Thursday The Britishsponsored confer ence is the direct outcome of Kissingers negotiations last month with Prime Minister John Vorster of South Africa and Prime Minister Ian Smith of Rhodesia The entire basis for the talks is sixpoint document pre pared by Kissinger to bring about peaceful transition to blackmajority rule in Rhodesia within two years Necessarily the plan had am biguities which observers here say were probably crucial to winning Smiths agreement to attend Those very ambiguities how ever may form the basis for breakdown between the white and black participants ALLOR NOTHING Smith says the agreement he struck with Kissinger must be accepted in its entirety or the deal is off Rhodesian African nation alists however have rejected the idea that the Kissinger plan is the only basis for discussion The British with virtually no influence in Rhodesia since that country declared its independlt ence 11 years ago will have to find some compromise to sal vage the situation It is on this point that experts here say Kis singer may once more have to become involved One accomplishment how ever is the bringing together of rival black nationalists if only in opposition to the Smith stand All four black factions have said they are ready to bury the hatchet in united negotiating effort aimed at putting swift end to white minority rule in Rhodesia Smith is reported to believe that Kissinger had talked the five frontline African presi dents into accepting details of his plan and that they would try to persuade the rival black na tionalists to agree to the pro posal Two days after Smith in dicated his acceptance the frontline presidents rejected it saying its provisions were tantamount to legalizing the colonialist and racist structures of power Subsequently the various na tionalist leaders also rejected the Kissinger plan The problem now facing Brit ains conference chairman Ivor Richard is to find some new version of the plan ac ceptable to both sides as basis for negotiation Smith however has made it plain he feels that any proposed revision to the document to which he reed allows him to back out of is agreement to ac cept blackmajority rule within two years WNW Cw nus BIG CHOICE FROM PARLIAMENT HILL Private members and their bills By STEWART MaclEl Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service If there is one area of parlialt mentary procedure just begging for reform its the present method of dealing with legislation from individual MPs Hopefully before the current session of Parliament ends something will be done about it The Commons committee on procedure is ready to recom mend major changes The way the system now op erates private MP who wants to introduce bill must submit it to drawerits like bingo game to see where it will stand on the order paper If his bill is drawn first it will be the first to be called during the four hours week devoted to the business of private members If it is drawn near the tailend of the lineup it probably will not be heard from again Last week 159 such bills were placed on the order paper after being processed through the draw It is quite possible that none of them will ever come to vote And if some lid its virlt tually certain that none would ever become law Even if every participant in the debate likes private bill it seldom passes It is merely praised to death and when the hourly debating time limit is reached the bill goes back to the bottom of the lineup Thats the way it is with pri vate members legislation The most you can say for it is that it gives the government some clues about the attitude of MPs toward certain issues There have been several cases of gov ernment bills being introduced following the defeat of similar private legislation POOR SYSTEM Its obviously an inefficient system Individual MPs spend good deal of time drafting legislation preparing for debate and wheeling and dealing in hopes that it may just sneak through the House Stanley Knowles the New Democratic Party House leader and perhaps our foremost au thority on parliamentary proce dure says that since he entered the Commons in 1942 can count on the fingers of one hand the private bills that have been passed ne of those bills in cidentally changed the name of TransCanada Air Lines to Air Canada Mr Knowles who introduces bill in every session for the abolition of the Senate hopes solution will be found when the procedures committee makes its final recommendations It is likely to suggest that at least 10 private bills come to vote in each session and that more efficient procedure be worked out for processing the others Mr Knowles would like to see the changes go further and in stead of placing the bills in draw the name of the sponsor ing MP should be drawn and that MP could then prepare the legislation he considers most important Some MPs might submit half dozen bills and under the current system the least im Fmgerpomtmg massive hypocrisy By IOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Ever wonder what all those diplomats are doing in the em bassies of Communistbloc countries Our police and security serv ices know of course but cannot tell us In Ottawa officials of the Soviet Polish Czech and Hungarian embassies have been expelled in the past for in telligencegathering opera tions typical case was socalled Hungarian trade attache tossed out in 1970 for his efforts to penetrate the Hungarian Canadian community in Toron to but not on commercial ter ms It is taken for granted that such normal Communistbloc embassy functions as trade press cultural relations are usually filled with diplomats who really belong to the vast in telligencegathering ap arati of their Communist home ands Indeed many Communist countries assume as result that diplomats and private citi liens from the West visiting their countries are not really bona fide persons but in telligence rators in disguise And the uge revelations of the CIA in the United States which did include such profes sionals only strengthened their suspicions But in country which houses such vast security and in telligence network as the KGB the Soviet fingerpointing at the CIA comes under the heading of massive hypocrisy Knowing all this it doesnt come as big surprise that the North Korean embassies in the four democratic Scandinavian countries were deeply involved in largescale sales of dutyfree cigarettes liquor and heroin peddling As result all four Scandina vian countries have asked the Communist diplomatcumhus lters to pack up and get out One wonders what in heavens name requires full North Korean diplomatic missions in such countries with the possible exception of Sweden where the former prime minister Olaf Plame WE WANT YOUR OPINION Letters submitted for publication must be original copies signed by the writer Please include your street

reserves the right to edit con dense or reject letter portant of them might be given top priority in the draw In the latest draw the No bill certainly doesnt appear the most important It would force the justice department to change its annual reports GOOI IDEAS But when you go down the list there are all sorts of fascinating ideas that should be aired Some deal with major national concerns such as bilingualism and the economy but others involve daytoday problems that bother many of us There is bill to prohibit the sale of firecrackers to minors Another would protect non smokers from tobacco fumes on public vehicles There is bill to ban inhumane animal traps And the killing of polar bears would be prohibited under an other one universal emcrgency tele phone number would he estab lished if one bill were approved And if two other bills got through there would be both Canadian Flag Day and Sir John Macdonald Day Hooze bottles would be forced to carry warning labels as cigarette packages now do and there are several bills offering additional protection to consumers But few will ever be heard from Occasionally one will get through on fluke says Mr Knowles But the chances are slim If one does get through he hopes it will be his 12th legisla tive attempt to abolish the Sen ate But somehow he says doubt it was assiduously courting Asian Communist states You may remember during the Vietnam War he was in strumental in sending $30 million integrated hospital to the North Vietnamese 21 unit which was later bombed out of existence by US air raid on Hanoi Perhaps the North Koreans figured the permissive societies of the Scandinavian nations were natural targets for selling heroin Or maybe the crippling taxes on cigarettes and especially on booze in those northern welfare states made dutyfree substi tutes popular prospect One reason for their activity which could be under way in other North Korean embassies in free world capitals is to raise the hard currency re quired to pay for the dreadful selfadulating which appear in Western newspapers including Canadian ones These are all about Kim Sung the Stalin of North Korea interminable unreadable stuff published in small pri5 but nevertheless very expensive to print Incidentally North Korean diplomats are also drifting around the Caribbean as un likely spot as Scandinavia un til you realize that two Marxist states welcome them Guyana and Cuba as does an emerging socialist one namely Jamaica READER FORUM Spend funds On university before Georgian College Dear Sir Dave Warner NDP critic commented on your front page that the province was being nig gardly in denying the request to build student residence and swimming pool for our Georgian College What revolting develop ment this is The Conservative government has recognized its error in undermining standards of our previously elitist high school system in order to pro mulgate the Davis Special called community college system child could avoid English math science and Canadian history courses in the old high school system Then he was eligible to attend community college which taught him to mold pots and vases at the taxpayers ex pense For those poor youngsters who studied for hours on end and took university preparation courses there was no universi ty in the Simcoe County region We are the only one of the 17 education regions in Ontario without its own university Now Mr Warner would do away with Grade 13 and add one more of university training for the students who must travel to London Guelph Peterborough Sudbury Toron to or Kingston to continue his pursuit of university degree For the failures they can now go to Georgian College Grade 13 If Grade 13 is eliminated why should they care Over 200 students are pursu ing WLU extension courses at night in Eastview Secondary School because the province which is spending millions of dollars financing postgraduate schools with preponderatly nonacademic curriculum can not afford one building for university in our area Georgian College cannot graduate doctors teachers lawyers dentists pharmacists optomitrists etc Any eager bright scholar in high school must travel out of his county and pay the extra tuition transportation and residency costs My recommendation is that before one more dime be spent on Georgian College ex ansion serious thought should given to the construction of our own university After all in democracy everyone is entitled to equal op portunity to develop their potential even if the person is intelligent industrious and am bitious Sincerely JOHN SCHMIDT All sports organizations have same problem as BOMSA Dear Sir Upon reading the articles regarding soccer Im wonder ing whether we attended the same meeting Let me first make it plain that the meeting was not organized by the Barrie Op timist Minor Soccer Associa tion BOMSA and was only asked to attend as one of many to explain the field situation as it relates to the minor soccer league of which am proud to bepresident Our main concern is two facts the first being that because of the elimination of the three fields at Radio Shack we have definite shortage of fields for the comingyear In regard to the facilities available simply made com ment that these fields should be playable without any hazards My second point relates to the conditions of the new fields namely Maple Grove and Eastview and the money spent on them In May of 1975 wrote let ter to Mayor Dorian Parker in regard to the Maple Grove soc cer field and said that the money spent on it was wasted the estimate of expenditure be ing in the vicinity of $23000 In cidentally we have now had this opinion confirmed by peo ple at City Hall In relation to the field at Eastview it has always been my contention that the soil con ditions are not favorable for either good baseball diamond or soccer field and it would have been much more econ omical to look for better soil conditions for these types of facilities not only express that senti ment as the president of the minor soccer league but as substantial taxpayer as well It has always been my opi nion that since the city owns 123 acres of unused parkland at Sunnidale that some sporting facilities could be and should be developed for the use of our children personally do not agree with the statement that minor soc cer does not get its share of the pie but rather that all sports organizations in the city have the same problems as those of BOMSA copy of this letter is being sent to the four mayoralty can didates to explain our situation as it has developed in regard to the meeting held Oct 18 And trust that if anyone has any questions they know where to contact me Yours Truly VERSTRATEN President BOMSA Amazed by letters written on sewage treatment plant Dear Sir Im amazed by the letters written to your paper in regard to the expansion of the sewage plant Pollution Control Cen tre Where would they suggest it be moved to Do they realize the cost of such an undertak ing they realize that plant was built long time before Centen nial park was even thought of could name few places along Lakeshore Drive that smell as bad or even worse than the Pollution Control Centre What do these people want to pollute the bay Whether they like it or not all their dirty water toilets and otherwise is all processed through that plant think its about time some people woke up Perhaps visit to the Pollu tion Control Centre for some of these people would help them to understand just what does hap pen after you flush your toilet Yours Truly MRS DIANNE HARDY Dr Powles address helps explain why religionists influence low DearSir From the safety of his com fortable professional position Dr Cyril Powles in an address to Barrie and District Min isterial Association advocates terrorism for freeing the downtrodden from capitalism Christians Should Favor Poor Oct 20 He should be told that this sort of academic sophistry is nothing less than inciting violence He should also be reminded that violence is twoway street with supremacy at either end for those with the most guns and the least Christian compassion If religionists are concerned about the growing scorn for their influence in human af fairs let them realize that one big reason for this opposition lies in such illconsidered and dangerous nonsense as Dr Powles and similar if unwit ting Marxist missionaries pro pogate in their irresponsible ut terances Yours Truly DOUG GREENWOOD Celebrate Halloween Saturday Dear Sir As Halloween falls on Sun day this year there seems to be lot of controversy in Barrie as to which night the tricks and treats should be held Satur day or Sunday have personally contacted large cross section of Barrie residents and we are of the same opinion that Saturday Oct 30 is the evening well CANADAS STORY Redletter day in transportation By BOB BOWMAN Oct 27 1872 was redletter day in Canadian tran sportation The Grand
