year motor vehicle fatalities in this OPP district was the lowest in years The number of road deaths decreased from 134 in 1973 to 69 last year That kind of improvement is still grim reminder of the

public meetings held by the Downtown Core Committee and the resulting 56 esolutions All were lost in the shuf 1e It now appears we are getting many repeat performances from ci ty hall whether they be about the Seeder project the widening of letters to the editor around at the same time that they inevitably get lost in the shuffle Very convenient must say Only one thing emerges from it all Council

to become better in formed and effect the necessary John Paul charts wise course days is unfortunately for consumers on ly one part of pattern of higher costs in food Beef has gone up by about 18 cents pound in Canadian supermarkets Thats on top of the sharp increases last year that helped to push up our food prices by an average of 155 per cent compared with 84 per cent in 1W7 As usual some shoppers turn to pork poultry and fish as substitutes and that of course will drive up their prices It seems altogether likely that there will be more such price increases for another three years or 50 Thats how long it will take the biological cycle in North American cattle to return to peak Untilbéhen expeats say the supply of cattle will too smal to meet the growing demand for beef The trouble began in 1973 at time of rapid inflation For shortterm political purposes the Nixon Administration in the United States imposed price freeze on beef just at time when grain prices were soaring HERBS LLLED Cattle producers quickly found it uneconomic to pay the higher costs of feeding cattle that would be sold for fixed prices Many of them reduced their herds substan tially and todays shortages and price in creases became inevitable Ironically Canadas socialists want our government to follow the same program now New Democratic Party Leader Edward Broadbent wants the Trudeau government to consider price controls on essential foods That would almost certainly aggravate the problem by leading to further shortages and fostering black market Seductive as they may seem at first glance controls wouldnt stand chance at time such as this when the weakness in our dollar is making export markets much more attrac tive to cattle raisers when the world beyond Nath America is at last developing taste for hamburgers and when the costs of energy and labor two of the important factors in Dunlop Street or whatever changes The world cattle producers budget are higher than If these are

make prompt effort to report the success of the Tcachcrs Theatre Music Workshops productin of the Sound of Music held last weekend at Georgian Collcgc feel compelled to pass on the recognition they so rightfully descrvc Many weeks of preparation on the part of teachers in Simcoc County as well as students from Barrie schools assisted by people in terested in the challenge that the teachers presented culminated in full house performances that were nothing short of bcing spectacular Along with those who filled the theatre and rose to standing ova tions at the completion of each per formance applaud everyone from the children who acted their parts so well to every member of the cast orchestra stage crew numerous support committees the produces and the director for job so well done These teachers displayed to the public their commitment and dedication to an awesome task but more importantly reached it with resounding success Yes they climbed cvery mountain and followed cvcry rainbow until they found their dream This year which is proclaimed as the International Year of the Child let us be thankful we have teachers in this County who can unselfishly share their talents with the public learn by these experiences and thus train our children in their ex emplary manner The Latin American bishops of the Roman Catholic Church are still in session even though Pt John Paul II has returned to the Vatican ter his visit to Mexico They are pondering his stance by the role of the church in hemisphere marked by deep poverty by millions of economically and politically disenfranchised Latin Americans and Indians and much politicization within thcchurch at the level of parish priests The Pope knew he was coming to part of the Catholic world nominally the largest in terms of numbers where the Church has been split on how to handle unresolved social Much of the episcopatc has remained conservative linked to the rightwing regmes of generals and businessmen while more and more of the priests at the parish level have gone over to radical political so lutions to end mass poverty and deprivation Indeed Latin America is the only place where the Catholic Church has experienced priests as guerrilla and Marxist heroes chiefly the late Father Camilo Torres of Colombia The ChristianMarxist dialogue is prac tioed openly and at the risk of much per POIIC JOHN IAll llciids for the masscs Newspaper pact offers $512 week MONTREAL CP The longest strike in the lldyear history of the Montreal Star has ended with ratification of new contract by manbers of the Newspaper Guild covering editorial circulation delivery and advertis ing employees Senior Star officials say the pa will be back on the stands next Monday or the first time in nearly eight months Some employees will return to work today Marketing director Chick Amey said Tues day The Star will put on multimedia blitz to inform readers that the paper is back Members of the guild were the last of threc unions at the paper to accept new contracts Two production unions ratified their agreements 11 days ago Guild president George Light said the new contract includes wage increases amounting to 33 per cent in four stage over three years pressmcn walked out They wcrc the only ones officially on strike but 200 composing room and mailroom employees respected their picket lines Managcmcnt thcn laid off most of the remaining staff The guild contract expired June 15 the day after the walkout by the pressmcn Under the new guild contract reporter with five years experience who previously got $38350 week will receive $42850 That will rise to $460 on June 16 $490 on March 19a and $512500n Jan 11981 Night editorial staff will have 322hour week in four shifts Other guild members will havca fiveday 35hour week but will got five extra paid holidays as compensation Prtssmcn and composing room staff had at fourday 32hour week in their last contract which now is extended to mailroom PAPU STRATEGY Would the new Pontiff whose church is in the forefront of the struggle against Marxism in Poland demand the end of such political endeavours in the Church And if he did not what would he have to say to church leaders who remain aloof to the endless human crises of Latin America But the wise Polish Pontiff did neither He counselled against intense political action within the church to obtain social goals But he also attacked the rich and com fortable of the hemisphere and warned them they must share this to include his own church which in some nations is still rich in land Early and profound action is called for he said in an open air meeting at Oaxaca in southern Mexico Daring and profoundly innovative transformations must take place Urgent reforms must be carried out without delayf He warned the rich and powerful it was their job to bring these things about as it was the churchs role to be involved in social iustice but not in open violence This was reference to those priests who in frustration openly join guerrilla and militant workers movements and take to the streets and jungles with them to overthrow rcac tionary regimes Yet by neither condoning the guerrilla priest nor the conservative and unfccling prelate in his palace thc Papal concern for the oppressed of the Americas may carry no weight In Oaxaca he was surrounded by the truly abandoned of the oncc dynamic Mexican social revolution which was supposed to be all about them the Mexican Indian in his rural environment These are indigenous Latin Americans the Indians about whom the feeling Pontiff also said the worker whose sweat feeds his despair But the Holy Father said nothing and did not enter into any public discussion on the crisis of humanity which is the most serious the unbridled population growth of Latin America WHEN BIRTH CONTROL This is most severe in Mexico the country he visited where the population of Mexico City alone will exceed that of Canada by 1990 When will the Catholic Church ever face up food prices probably until about 1982 barr ing any dramatic change in foreignexchange rates and energy prices Although grain supplies and reserves throughout the world are high the effort of the less advanced countries to improve diets and to build up livestock herds will place heavy demands on grain producers in the growing countries Strangely enough Canada still maintains quotas on beef imports from Australia and New Zealand to protect our farmers at the expense of Canadian consumers But even if those quotas were lifted as they should be it wouldnt help the consumer much Frozen beef from Down Under is quoted at $160 pound now vs 60 cents year ago At the retail level last years prices will soon be nothing but bond memory Hamburgers that staple of the adolescents diet are breaking through the $1 level at fastfood outlets and proportionate increases are in store all the way up to the best cuts in the best restaurants Interpreting the news Iran

punishment In setting up the provisional government Khomeini has put the army and the govern mett of Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar on notice that he is pursuing his oftstated in tention of charting
