counterparts in both the federal and provincial legislature who represent this area Ziemba never one to bite his tongue has gone so far as to call Barrie police state Torontos High ParkSwansea riding representative he has argued that management at the Radio Shack warehouse in the ci ty strikebound since Aug is calling all the shots in Barrie He has asked Ontario Solicitorlcneral Roy McMurtiy to in vestigate the Barrie police force Ziembas statements have Harrie lolice hief Earl Snider tri fle upset and rightly so Were sure the fiery MPP has had little exposure to the police force here in the past and it will be up to the courts to decide if he was treated unjustly Oct when arrested for assaulting police officer while on the picket line at Radio Shack For him to level accusations as serious as he has Ziemba should come up with some facts to justify them If he doesthen well have to listen with close ear But until he does Ziemba is the type of provincial representative not worth listening to seriously Tragedy again Iragedy seems to strike most often or at least hit hardest when we are celebrating holiday or time of rejoicing perfect example is the New Hamburg mother and her 20 monthold daughter who died in traffic accident along with two others on Highway 89 about km east of Alliston While many had reasons to count blessings this past Thanksgiv ing weekend relatives and friends of that New Hamburg family do not It makes us wonder why more caution is not shown on this nations roads and why tragic accidents like the one this weekend really have to occur So start practicing safe driving habits now so by the time the next holiday weekend arrives there will be no traffic deaths in Simcoe County Sir am teacher in Hankook High School in Seoul Korea and we have around 3000 students teach English at this school Through my teaching career have noticed that many students of our country are crazy about having their own pen friends in foreign countries They would like to have friendship with the foreign school boys and girls through com munication think the exchange of letters between the young in different countries would also help them learn much better each others country It would also help the students in improving their writing ability Furthermore surely believe that this cor Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The annual push to sell new Canada Sav ings Bonds has started and will go on until at least Nov Interest rate this year has been set at 1025 per cent Thats the same rate that is being paid on CSBs that were issued between 1971 and 1978 providing they are held until they mature 0n CSBs issued between 1967 and 1973 in terest has been increased to 105 per cent pro vided they arent cashed prior to maturity The C885 are the most widely held of all Canadian securities they could hardly be described as an investment perhaps because they are available in small denominations and because the selling agents stockbrokers investment dealers banks trust companies and the like can earn substantial commissions on their sale In the beginning the C885 were simplicity itself Youd buy bond cash it at face value whenever you wished cash the interest coupon once year and pay income tax on theinterest Over the years almost the only feature that has remained constant is the privilege of im mediate cash redemption at face value New options have been added year after year all to the good but possibly tending to confuse some people who arent accustomed to the ways of savings and investment we want your opinion Something on your mind Send letter to the Editor Please make it an original copy and sign it The Examiner doesnt publish unsigned let ters but it you wish pen name will

current options available to CSB purchasers Regular interest bonds or com pound interest bondst On the bonds annual interest is paid by cheque or by direct deposit into your account at bank of trust company whichever way you choose But on the bonds interest is left to com pound and accumulate until maturity thus $100 investment this fall would grow to $19799 when the 1979 C885 mature on Nov 1986 You can change your mind within the first 10 months and exchange either type of bond for the other until next Sept Income tax Interest earned on bonds is taxable year by year With bonds you can pay tax on the interest annual ly or wait and pay tax on the interest when you receive it as lump sum at maturity In either case the interest earned qualifies for inclusion in the standard individual $1000 deduction for investment income If you wait and take the compound interest in lump sum at maturity you can elect to treat it as capital gain which means that you include only half of it in your taxable income NO FREE RIDE This year theres new restriction In terest wont be paid on new bonds redeemed before Dec 31 1979 In the past some astute people would buy the new CSBs as late as Nov 22 taking advantage of the factthat they bear interest from Nov and cash them on Dec Another change this year is the limit on in dividual purchases which has been set at 525000 The ceiling was 350000 on the 1978 series and 815000 on the 1977 series The history of CSI1 sales campaigns shows that the government trom time to time has had to increase the rate of interest to keep abreast of market conditions In the 1978 campaign the rate was increased twice Nobody knows whether that will happen again If it does however early purchasers have nothing to fear because the interest in creases have always been made retroactive to the start of the sales campaign bible thought nd it shall UIIH to pass in the last days Mlllll tort will pour out of Iny Spirit upon all flcslu and your sons and your

CherylAiken M9 $4100 year Do YIALLTHNK MA HUSBAND The world today By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service President Carters answer to the Soviet combat troops in Cuba was to take the middle ground not to demand their withdrawal on the one hand nor accept Fidel Castros response on the other Castro had said they were in Cuba for train ing purposes only and that the present units would not be changed in size or nature When the socalled crisis over 3000 Russian troops in Cuba began Carter said publicly that their presence was unacceptable His many opponents in Congress over ratification of the SALT Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty saw it as an element in their discussions on that important docu ment The antiSALT II senators insisted the USSR was playing games with the United States during the course of discussions over the treaty to the extent the newlyfound troops in Cuba could even scuttle the agree ment Then retired and serving senior intelligence officials admitted that the controversial Soviet military element in Cuba had been identified as such as far back a51971 Castro told everyone over Cuban television that this kind of unit had been in Cuba from as long ago as the end of the Cuban missile crisis of late 1962 LONGLASTING LNIT By late September it was clear the much discussed Soviet brigade was not new ar rival since the differing dates admitted by lnterpreting the news militar FIDEI CASTRO training expedition both the Pentagon intelligence brass and Castro indicated their presence over very long period Accordingly the President in his special TV iddress on the Soviet troops issue also ad Kim Pattenden ring around Cuba mitted they have been in Cuba since the mid 19705 What no one has indicated in this crisis is the great potential of 3000 regular Russian troops composed of one tank battalion one rocket battalion and two infantry battalions to train thousands of Cubans during their many years in that country It is even conceivable that this brigade given its admittedly long sojourn in Castros island could have trained all the estimated 25000 Cuban troops which have served in Africa since 1976 President Carter has enlarged US military units around Cuba including the establishment of joint InterAmerican military unit based at Key West and increase of Marine components at Guantanamo That 15 Inc United States naval base at the eastern end of Cuba which incredibly has sur vived the two decades of Castros Marxist revolution For the longterm there are new concerns by Washington that Cuba will renew infiltra tion techniques throughout the Caribbean and Central American regions which it has not attempted since the early 19605 and then not very successfully Reports persist about the growing number of Cuban technicians in Jamaica invited by that countrys socialist and strongly pro Cuban Prime Minister Michael Manley The Americans are nervously watching the role of other Cuban technicians in the reconstruction programs in Nicaragua Pope John Paul II combines conservative radical traits WASHINGTON CP When Polish car dinal named Karol Wojtyla was elected Pope year ago he decided to reign under the names of two of his predecessors Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI The appropriateness of that choice became evident to many Americans during the travels last week of Pope John Paul In his visit to Ireland and in appearances in New York Boston Philadelphia Chicago Washington and Des Moines Iowa the leader of the Roman Catholic Church demonstrated that he shares attributes of both previous Popes Some analysts suggest his personality can be described as resembling John the radical on the outside but Paul the conservative on the inside The straightforward companionable Pope touched something in the Americans who followed his progress during his US tour the first such visit by Pope They loved him for his simplicity of style his warth and his obvious joy at meeting his flock Clearly this Pope who makes record albums and who draws peprally cheers from young Roman Catholics is no austere forbid ding figure Like Pope John XXIII who moved the church into the turbulent era of the 19605 Pope John Paul appears to be Pope of the people His call for faith compassion social justice human rights mutual responsibility and hope came as welcome tonic against thejaded materialism of America REMAINS FIRM It became clear during the visit however that the Popes populism does not extend to matters of doctrine or discipline On issues such as contraception or the role of women in the church Pope John Paul takes hard conservative line an attitude that is disappointing for those who hoped the new Pope would help usher in new era in the 19805 Surveys have shown that majority of Roman Catholics oppose the ban on using contraceptives ban that has forced millions of men and women into position of disobey ing the rules of the church they love substantial proportion of Roman Catholics differ with the church prohibition on divorce and surveys show many favor op tional celebacy for priests Growing numbers also favor giving women their full rights in the church including the right to serve as priests But on these and other issues including extramarital sex and abortion the Pope took the traditional view H15 attitudes toward women were challeng ed on his final day here by group of

still around By STEWART MacLEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service When Quebecs referendum campaign begins in earnest the most formidible figure on the separatist circuit may not be Premier Rene Levesque but man the premier regards as nuisance if not an embarrass ment am talking about Pierre Bourgault now 45 who originally achieved prominence if not notiriety back in the 19605 as firebrand leader of the thenradical separatist move ment Bourgault is still around apparently eager to join in the independence crusade even if the premier has discouraged him from runn ing for the legislature rebuffing that angered many ardent separatists The premier suppose figures he has enough trouble keeping his diversified troops in line without having to contend with the influential Pierre Bougault And make no mistake about it Bourgault still commands big following although his approach to the independence issue is more respectable and sedate than it was back in the sloganwriting days when separatism was identified with blownup mail boxes For the last few years the irrepressible Bourgault has been professor of communications at the University of Quebec And the communicates very well indeed N0 QUALIFICATIONS After being relatively silent since the Parti Quebecois victory in 1976 Bourgault made his presence felt few months ago when he told Premier Levesque that it was time he stop ped beating around the bush on the in dependence issue What Quebecers want he declared is sovereignty with no ifs ands or buts And as far as he was concerned all this talk of sovereigntyassociation economic union and other proposed Canadian connec tions werejust distraction Levesque countered by saying that anyone who thinks that an independent Quebec could prosper without some form of economic union with Canada is whistling in the woods Later Bourgault tried for the nomination in forthcoming byelection but the premier wanted no part of him and that ended that However the fiery orator continues to whistle in the woods and as the referendum cam paign develops he will soon be whistling to very large audiences As the lustre gradually wears off the embattled premier Bourgault will be fresh face with frmh message Its not quite clear whether his approach will con tradict or complement chesques but there will be no doubt about his stand on the referendum Regardless of the question Bourgault will be demanding yes vote DIFFERENT APPROACH As public opinion polls continue to indicate that majority of Quebecers are worried about outright independence the Parti Quebecois has been softening its approach by emphasizing its proposed economic union with the rest of CanadaWith this common market and common currency not to men tion an expected outburst of common cooperation from the other provinces there is very little to fear from sovereignty goes the argument To hell with that nonsense says Bourgault who goes right back to the emotions and pride of Quebecers People arent thirsty for dollars and cents i1 is pride Are we going to promise them $10 more in their paycheques on independence day Are we going to reduce this extraordinary cause to dirty accoun ting All we can offer people is the chance finals ly to live normally and that is what people want people are not crazy they know that it is not in promising them few cents more that we will really change their situation And part of the message he will deliver We didnt choose our country We were born here The immigrants chose it often by chance but suddenly without distinction of race we are confronted with the choice what country we will make And whether we have been here for 400 years or five we will ex perience the same fears of the unknown But we can also experience together the same write your mp 19
