high school decision The Simcoe County Board of Educations refusal last week to support separate French language high school must not be misinterpreted The board is not saying to hell with the rights of French people It is saying French students have the right to French education within reasonable financial limits The board decided those reasonable limits do not in clude new school for perhaps 350 students At the same time the board made commitment to provide suitable French wing at the existing high school Thus the decision is middle ground between the rights of the minority and financial feasibility The issue will now be decided by the ministry of education They will have to choose between the boards decision and two recommendations in favor of separate French school The ministry should take hard look at those recom mendations One of them issued by the Languages of Instruc tion Commission favored separate school largely on the basis of the situation in Elliot Lake which they say is similar to Penetanguishene The comparison doesnt hold up True French language high school was establish ed this September in Elliot Lake But Elliot Lakes population is about 17000 and its in one of Canadas most rapidly growing centres indication Theres no the population of Penetanguishene will grow anywhere near that fast Its worth noting too that the boards decision was not hastily made The issue has been before the board more than one year and the subject of three major reports The philosophy of language and education should enter in at this time In this connection Bruce Cumming board trustee made an interesting observation Speaking for one school that would satisfy the needs of both English and French he said If we let them go to school together perhaps they wont grow up without problems and biases dont want to be part and parcel of dividing this communi ty The question arises By building separate French school would we be helping to split Canada instead of uniting it Tax break election issue being debated in Commons OTTAWA CPI Two major election issues will be debated in the Commons this week tax break for home owners and the future of PetroCanada the government oil agency Almost any issue debated in the Commons these days can be related to the election that Prime Minister Trudeau is to call this spring But these two show special division betr weenvthe governing Liberals and the Opposi tion Progressive Conservatives who hope to throw them out of office What is debated this week can be expected to be debated again during the election campaign The Commons is scheduled to spend twu days this week debating housing bill which will give MP5 on both sides of the House am ple opportunity to discuss the kind of help they propose for home owners key Conservative proposal is to allow in come tax deductions for mortgage interest and municipal taxes if they form govern ment The government and the New Democratic Party have scoffed at the idea saying the Conservatives are proposing assistance for the rich and ignoring those who rent They write your mp 199 if you would like to write your Member of Parliament or Member of Provincial Parlia ment

Gillespie last week challenged the Conservatives to continuc their opposition to it He is expected to continue his counter attack this week as the Opposition taxes him over the diversion of crude oil

strongly last week that PctroCon should be the only importer of crude oil in the country thus assuring con tinued supply for all Canadians INTERESTS FOREIGN Party Leader Ed Hroodbcnt said future oil
