Thank you Barrie Minor Lacrosse Association Public debt spiral problems ahead niiiningiit about $1 billion month are simple enough Tux revenues are depressed because personal incomes havent been growing mueh faster than the inflation rate to which they are indexed and because the government has cut personal income taxes in solar unsuccessful attempt to stimulate economic growth At the some time government has been spending more and more in large measure because of the same principle of indexation as applied to the huge amounts of money ttiziiisfer payments that it is committed to pay out regularly to individuals and to provincial goieriimciits To Ittkt one example or subsidies that are being paid in order to cushion the Atlantic provinces against the huge price increases imposed

women political leaders are in the news Our own Flora Macdonald is now Canadas first female Secretary of State for External Affairs after 25 years in the Tory party as an employee and executive then as busy House of Commons MP and longtime cabinet contender in the opposition Flora enjoys her prestigious new role as result of the Tory election victory last May 22 and because Joe Clark selected her for this high cabinet office Press and personal aides travelling with her since she has scarcely been in her office since taking over say she is emerging as true professional and as greatly fulfilled person and politician In Strasbourg home of the littleknown European Parliament which has just completed the worlds first interparlia mentary elections French politician Simone Veil has been elected its first President or as some say EuroPresident DEATH CAMP SURVIVOR Madame Veil has flourished in much tougher milieu than Flora Macdonald since she is survivor of Auschwitz concentration camp She was judge in France until French President Valery Giscard dEstaing gave her senior judicial position in the French cabinet in 1974 Madame Veil who belongs to Frances middleoftheroad Liberal Party won her new presidential position in competition against two Italian candidates from Italys socialist and Communist parties In Portugal country which still prefers women in the home and not in public life From the legislature By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO More than the proposal itself one is glad to hear the cautious tone in which community and social services minister Keith Norton announced the STYNG program STYNG stands for Save The Youth Now Group and involves the visit of juvenile offenders to federal prisons It is modelled on project at Rahway Prison in New Jersey which has received wide media exposure mostly laudatory The theory apparently is that you can scare juvenile delinquents away from the criminal life by showing them the horrors of adult prison STYNG will tour Millhaven the federal governments maximum security prison near Kingston and talk to inmates who like their US counterparts actually initiated the pro gram themselves Young adult offenders have been exposed to the prison for several months nowand the id veniles will start visits in September NEW FAD In the US the program has claimed an incredible success rate in deterring youth from returning to criminal ways Which when you think about it is precisely the problem with the initial reporting on most attempts to rehabilitate or reform of fenders Whatever trendy new fad emerges is always given lots of publicity and claims INDIRA GANDHI strongwilled lady Senhora Maria de Lourdes Pintassilgo has become Prime Minister in that countrys interim government Portugal goes to the polls in October and Senhora Pintassilgo who was Minister of Social Affairs in 1974 in Portugals first free government in half century could win her own election at that time She has been strong supporter of equality of women in nation which along with its larger and conservative Spanish neighbor had long rejected the rights of women as part of the political and social order Indeed the stormy career of the fiery Spanish politician Dolores Ibarrun La Pasionaria had convinced many Spanish KEITH NORTON cautious tone fantastic success from halfway houses to group homes to indeterminate sentences to whatever The truth invariably is that success rates are never that great Which is why it is good to hear Nortons very tentative view of STYNG wish to emphasise its experimental and voluntary nature he said Women in politics moving swiftly to centre stage male politicians that women in politics were menace Dolores Ibarruri had lived for almost 40 years in exile from Spain because of her membership in that countrys Communist Party which was banned during the very long Franco dictatorship But now in her mid805 and just as passionately devoted to the Communist cause and to party which is new legal in Spain as during the Civil War La Pasionaria functions restlesst in Spains free parliament MRS GANDlllS RETURN Half world away Indian political leader and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is seeking new role for herself and perhaps return to power some day soon as result of Indias current political upheavals But she remains lesssavory member of this group of strongwilled ladies Her dic tatorship the first in the history of Indian democracy is remembered as retrograde step Many Indians still shun her as oncegreat democrat who turned authoritarian We must not forget Patricia Harris who has just taken on the very large portfolio of Secretary of Health Education and Welfare in President Carters reshuffled cabinet She had already been his very tough Secretary of Housing and Urban Develop ment and will now manage department with budget almost as big as that of the Defence Department Nor should we omit British Tory Prime Minister Mrs Margaret Thatcher who is living up to her reputation as The Iron Lady with the toughest antissocialist budget in modern British history WILL WOMEN DOMINATE Are the women about to take over Not quite But this galaxy of ladies proves that women in politics will no longer be back benchers Moreover we will not know how successful it has been until we have had very thorough evaluation WRONG ISE In fact because so much of the program depends on input from Millhaven inmates hardly angels in disguise it will need con tinuous evaluation In the US it was found some youths used the American version of STYNG as means of access to their criminal heroes which certainly didnt help deter them from returning to criminal ways As provincial correctional services of ficial said at recent Barrie service club luncheon it has been my experience that the only toffenders who are rehabilitated are the ones who want to be rehabilitated The repeater rate at his institution is 80 per cent LIKE IT It is useful to try any approach twithin financial reason to prevent youths from becoming professional criminals It is un wise however to pretend any one program is going to save many Most criminals are criminals because they want to be criminals They enjoy the life which is exciting and easy While society has duty to offer each an out through rehabilitation it is silly to pretend potential social sorker lurks in every criminal soul It just doesnt Time will tell just how useful STYNG Wlll prove to be Parliament Hill Promises foil to impress Hy STEWART MacIEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service There may be no scientific basis for this but wonder whether we are witnessing the demise of campaign promises as factor in winning elections Election promises used to be carved in granite If political party said it would cut taxes sever relations with an unfriendly country increase baby bonuses or build new wharves then we could accept this un dertaking as unqualified gospel We even took serious view of such general commitments as reducing unemployment restoring economic confidence and pursuing happiness But judging from recent events am not so sure we now take serious view of any campaign promises And if politicians still carve their promises in granite it may be to preserve them for the next generation of politicians thought Finance Minister John Crosbie put it rather succinctly the other day when he offered his observation about campaign promises Party platforms and party promises have to be taken in certain context circumstances change and when party takes power if it is responsible it will not carry out promises if they are not in tune with thetimes IRUDEAL FIRST would hate to accuse the Conservative finance minister of plagiarizing the works of Pierre Trudeau but the former prime minister was certainly ahead of Crosbie in coining similar phrase He used it after the 1974 general election when after cam paigning vociferously against price and wage controls he decided to implement them after all As he put it so casually the times had changed He never did get around to explaining exactly how the times had changed but thats neither here nor there Right now we are watching lengthy list of Conservative campaign promiSes being pushed to the back burners some of them have been shoved right off the stove and there is no indication that anyone really gives hoot When Crosbie was holding forth on the subject during news conference there wasnt the slightest hint of outrage on behalf of questioners it was all very amusing With tongue in cheek he said that since the pundits had decreed that the people of Canada voted against the Liberals and not for the Tory promises he assumed there was no obligation to implement anything con clude we have free hand to do what we think is best for the country PROMISES SHELVEI Without being unduly cynical what the government seems to be doing so far no doubt in the best interests of the country is shelving most of its major promises The latest development in this respect is the can cellation of the promised fall constitutional conference Prior to this there was the in dication that the promised privatization of PetroCanada would be either cancelled or delayed The promise to move the Canadian embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is something we can forget about The promised $2 billion cut in income taxes is another thing we can conveniently forget for the time being And that promised stimulative budgetary deficit is no longer talked about with any sense of commitment As the minister put it Some deficits are more stimulative than others and ours will be more stimulative than previous ones if we can do it The only campaign promise the govern ment seems committed to putting in its first budget is that plan to make mortgage interest and property taxes deductible from income taxes But there now are reports that this proposal may be phased in over along period thus depriving us of an expected financial windfall And does
