Frlday Mar 1979 NEWSROOM 7266537 CIRCULATION 7266539 the eXaminer serving barrie and simcoe county Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario LAM 4T6 Bruce Rowland as publisher ADVERTISING 7266537 CLASSIFIEDS 72824 Good reason to publish Are trustees on the Simcoe County Board of Educa tion really serious Or are they merely checking to see if the public is still awake Two trustees suggested this week that theboards annual financial statement isnt worth publishing in county newspapers Theysay the average newspaper reader wont understand it Youd have to be chartered accountant to figure it out they say By not publishing the figures taxpayers could save $700 Its required by law but its waste of time and money said one trustee We suppose the trustee has point Few readers are holding their breath waiting to read the report But some do take the time They cant all be studying accountancy So there must be reason Maybe they just want to see how those millions of tax dollars are being spent Maybe they see $700 as small investment consider ing the vast sums involved Maybe they even have thoughts on how some of their tax dollars might have been saved Some might have us believe thats job solely for the experts But few among the public still know how to read ledger line And few still want to read from published financial statements to judge for themselves They would say that accountability to the public is the first duty of elected officials The published financial statement is part of that ac countability Most trustees we are certain would remember that fact We are surprised some apparently did not sieoe yesteryear Barries Dunlop Street as it looked In the post World War era Even in that slower time cars on downtown streets presented problems Thanks to the Simcoe County archives for todays Simcoe Yesteryear Dear Sir saw something recently that really upset me On my way home from work caught the Anne St bus and just as we were ready to leave the terminal two male bus drivers came towards the bus holding onto an elderly gentleman It was obvious the man was having rough time trying to walk It took the two drivers about seven or eight minutes to get this man onto the bus and told the women drivers where to let him off could tell she was concerned on how to get him off the bus once they reached his stop These bus drivers in Barrie are great and Ive never had any trou ble with any of them But feel something should be done to help these elderly people in getting around better than having to take the bus see lots of them getting on and off this bus at the Medical Arts and they really are having hard time Cant something be done for these ople Im 27 and in good health bit really feel sorry for the older people Mrs Fawcett Barrie Dear Sir As residents of Simcoe County think We are all extremely fortunate to have the services of the Simcoe letters to the editor Rescue Squad None of us ever know upon setting out

chocolate bars or half package of cigarettes in an envelope and send it along to them If we All did this it Would go long way to eliminate the debt in which the Rescue Squad finds themselves Their

MOTOR THROW OFF 5398 year ELSEWHERE IN CANADA $38 506 year Parliament Hill By STEWART MacLEO Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Perhaps it is appropriate that Charles Arthur Gauthier MP from Mistassini Que has become the interim leader of the Social Credit Party of Canada Mr Gauthier is an undertaker Since 1962 Gauthier has maintained respectable enthusiasm in Parliament speaking forcefully on the issues that interest the people of rural Quebec But he is going to have to stretch this enthusiasm to ridiculous By JOIIN IIARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Hidden just below thc surface of Britains industrial disputes and monumental labor walkouts is the threat of future Welsh and Scottish separatism muted at this time in any extreme form but on the risc ncvcr theless To meet the threat with rcfcrcndum on hotnc rule Labor lrimc Ministcr Jamis Callaghan has closed down Parliament for one week so all can vote including members of the House of Commons The two regions concerned arc of coursi Wales where Qucbccstylc issuc over the dominance of language is the main element and the threat of major Scottish separatist action if 40 per cent of Scots vote for some form of separation This is unlikely given the fact that such txrcintagi rcprcscnts 15 million Scots out of total population hearing it it millions who can vote yes vote on the referendum cithir iii Wales or Scotlaan or both mcans thc end to the Scotland and Wales Acts passed last summer by the Britiin larliamcnt But it would not mean cithcr Welsh or Scottish separation rather what the British call devolution that is freedom to run local affairs It would not mean for one moment that either region would have permission to run their own foreign affairs or as in thc casc of Wales separately join thc Eurojwan oin mon Market which the Welsh nationalists have proposed RIIUIONAII IIltilllS Both regions would therefore handle their own roads program housing health outlays iup to point and schools But embarrassing for the proud and determined Welsh is thc fact funds for such SCOOPS limits if he is going to resurrect Social redit as national force in anada more immediate challenge is keeping it from the grave Gau oier inherited the onccproud party by virtue of letter of resignation from Lorni Reznowski the Winnipeg professor who became national leader last May Reznowski achieved immediate famc by emerging from that rather ludicrious convention to announce that were going to set this country on fire with Social Credit am now national figure and will be sure towin he declared Scotland Wales seek home rule activities would still have to be voted by thc Parliament at Westminster If devolution is voted for in thc refcrcndutn assemblies then approved in Wales would remain largely rubber stamp in function The Scots in the same favorable vote would still havc no authority whatsoever to take control of thc offshore North Sea oil and gas The Tories on the other hand are totally opposed to any kind of pandcring to strong regionalism leading to separation and Mrs Margaret lhatchcr lory Opposition Leader says so many tiincs ovcr For thc lorics it the

which means all Welsh and Scottish This doesnt wash with the Wclsh scparatists who will also get movement of about 1000 civil scrvants front the London area to assuage their scparat ist views The
