the examiner serwng borne and Simcoe caunty Saturday August 979 Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario LAM 4T6 Bruce Rowland publisher NEWSROOM 20 653 CIRCULATION 76 6539 sometimes for life abuse year Dear Editor could hardly believe my eyes when read your story entitled Eviction hangs over amputee Examiner August Surely the powers that be in Barrie are not go ing to let this happen It would have been more efficient of the ministry of community and social serivces if they had waited until they were sure there was wage earner in the home instead of assuming same and reducing the mothers allowance cheque As for other accommodation It seems Peggy Frank applied four years ago for Ontario Housing and was refused because of lack of funds can only ask why did such thing happen in Barrie do we not care about our handicapped in this city wonder has housing manager Mr Spencer ever taken time to think about people who apply for these homes Not just as needy case but as human being Perhaps many are too proud to ask for help They did not put themselves intentionally in that position They ask for Ontario Hous ing only when they cannot find anything to suit their financial situation and become desperate After all Mr Spencer there are people trying to stretch their dollar Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and onsumer Affairs Analyst Thomson New Service No matter what business and indtistry may do they seem to fall lower and lower in public esteem The petroleum industry for example supplies products whose vital importance be comes clear to us only when shortages arise So naturally the oil companies are under at tack because of their profits or rather because of the rate of increase in profits between 1978 and 1979 Then theres the automotive industry suffering from slump in demand for the kinds of cars it has traditionally made Chrysler Corp US lost nearly $23 million each day thats right every day in the AprilJune quarter and wants the us government to help it for change Naturally it will be attacked for losing money and expecting the government to assist it tidal wave of cynicism today engulfs virtually every aspect of business activity contends Richard Finlay chairman of Torontobased Unimarc International Inc Like modernday soldiers of fortune major corporations have engaged in frantic search for the treasure of public trust and credibility he writes in the summer issue of The Business Quarterly published by the School of Business Administration at the University of Western Ontario London Aided by batteries of lobbyists admen and public relations experts business has alternatively sought to pay plea and bargain for this symbol of approbation but it has almost always been thwarted from reaching that goal says Finlay management consultant The problem regaining the publics trust may be plain enough to business but the solution doesnt seem to be as obvious as many people in business think it is etters to the editor Child abuse must be curbed If anyone doubted child abuse is major social problem the latest report by the Simcoe County Childrens Aid Society must surely sweep away those doubts The report shows the number of reported cases of child abuse in Simcoe County rose by 20 per cent between 1977 and 1978 In actual numbers it means there were 120 investiga tions in 1978 and 64 confirmed cases of abuse No one knows how many more cases went unreported but the guess is hundreds even thousands Of the reported cases some were for physical attack some for sexual molestation some for improper care In every case the health and mental wellbeing of the child is damaged Given the statistics can anyone seriously argue that social agencies childrens aid societies family counselling ser vices day care centres shouldnt be given the resources to help abused children and work with parents to prevent Barrie recently increased its grant to the Simcoe County Childrens Aid Society by $3000 to $83000 Thats step that every municipality should follow and seek to increase each Money of course is not the entire answer Better planning and coordination between private and public agencies pro viding services to children would help Theres also need to tackle such fundamental issues as in flation anti unemployment as there is an established link bet ween economic problems and child battering But it would be an appalling legacy to allow 1979 as Inter national Year of the Child pass by without new determina tion to eradicate child abuse as disgusting social problem to impossible lengths but find it un successful most times am indeed sorry for the Viet namese refugees and do feel we should try to help them But surely not at the expense of our own needy Especially the hanicapped We have read so much lately about the chruches helping the refugees Well what about Peggy Franks Does she not need help met this plucky lady twice although she would not remember me The first time was in local club She was home on visit from Sunnybrook Hospital after her operation She stood on crutches and entertained hall full of people might add at their request She was given standing ovation She had lovely voice and if it is still the same she could give much pleasure to people in homes or shut ins There is of course one way this lady can be helped and that is not by sending her to Sunnybrook Hospital Leave her in her home where she seems to have some happiness and supplement her income with welfare cheque She is deserving case Treat her like human being with dignity not case number on file Remember the old old saying But for the Grace of God go Help her Ms Ann Bleakley Barrie Storm clouds over business Typically company will mount cam paign to set the record straight or to tell our story usually failing because of an inability to talk in terms and about things that are important to the public Finlay illustrates by pointing to the oil industry Often accused of being impersonal and insensitive to human concerns the oil companies have made themselves even more so by sharply increasing the proportion of selfserve gasoline stations Customers are increasingly met by nothing more than hand extension of cash register even after filling their own gasoline tanks and checking their own oil he notes Some top business executives such as Bonner former president of Gulf Oil US have contended that the solution is to develop public understanding of economics to over come very grave problem of economic naivete Finlay doesnt agree public confidence in business was at its peak when economic literacy was lower than it is now CONCRETE ISSUES The real challenges to corporations are not based on disagreements with economic theory he says They are instead more pragmatic in nature They deal with concrete issues of business performance such as the quality of service the safety of products the honesty of ad vertising and the negative byproducts of corporate operations Most consumers would readily agree They are turned away as much by these factors as they are by economic issues probably more These are among the suggestions offered by Finlay Form public advisory councils com prised of community leaders shareholders and various experts to consult with boards of directors innovative the lame Examiner is member at The Canadian Pros and Audit Buroou of Circulation tABCl Only the

STEWART MacLEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service In the first demonstration of political toughtalk since the May 22 general election spokesman for both the Liberal and New Democratic parties have served notice that they will be introducing motions of noncoir fidence against the Clark government soon after Parliament reconvenes on Oct Normally this would shake us from our summer slumber because such motion if adopted would mean the defeat of the new Conservative government The result would be another general election But think we can safely go back to sleep dont know whether nonconfidence motion will actually be introduced and if it is donl know who will support it but am willing to bet that despite the Tories minority position in Parliament they wont lose confidence motion this fall The opposition parties would be stupid to bring on another election this year And neither the Liberals or the New Democrats are stupid The outburst of opposition warnings came after it was revealed

of Joe larks many campaign promises was that Tory government would piivatiZc PctroCan by selling off governmentcontrolled shares to private interests This enraged both the Liberals and New Democrats who argue that Crown controlled agency is absolutely necessary to secure the countrys energy needs There are also some fairly clear indications that the public would prefer to see Crown agency handle our foreign oil purchases particularly after Imperial Oil Ltd was forced to divert one anadianbound oil shipment to the Lnifed States at the demand of its US parent company After the election lark announced that board of trustees would be created to evaluate the shares of PctroCan and decide how they could best be turned over to private hands Opposition MPs regarded this as delaying action But now they are claiming that the government by apparently downgrading the role of the Crown agency is systematically BIIK BOSICTII Jay favorite madc to bring llttl lcaguc baseball to Toronto This is

Pctroan employees and rendering it ineffective even before any final decision is reached Says NDP energy critic yril Symes The new government is pursuing in an underhanded way its destructive and unpopular policies toward PetroCan And Liberal energy critic Marc Lalondc says the Tories have succumbed to powerful lobby mounted by Imperial Oil CHARGES DENIED Eenergy Minister Ramon Ilnatyshyn denies the charges saying that its still business as usual for Ietioan until its late is decided by the government Ilc said the agency would participate in the Mexican negotiations and may be involved in future talks with Venezuela But he seems decidedly less enthusiastic about Ietroan than his political opponents Perhaps this is how the matter will be resolved the government may maintain Petroanas presence in future negotiations even on reduced scale to avoid political showdown But even if it does cut the legs from under the agency and the Liberals and New Democrats feel duty bound to defeat the government its extremely unlikely to happen in the near future BarrieDa Baseball fun for worthy cause tininci Harry flank laitiiducot liinci Sf IlO liltllh to atfcml taiiic tzij Of cotiisc Ken

advertisement beyond the amount paid for such The PUbltShOV reserves the right to edit revise classin or retort an advertise New enemy for Israel By JOHN II IIARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Prime Minister Menachem Begins coir servative Likud Party is facing its worst crisis not from the Arab world but from Israels seriously deteriorating economy Tripledigit inflation is expected in Israel by the end of the year while the countrys debt of $125 billions is at the highest per capita level in the world The tiny countrys balanccrofpayments deficit is already $45 billions this year compared to $325 billions in 1978 major reason for this crisis are the several recent increases in world oil prices Israel is very vulnerable to these since it has virtually no domestic petroleum reserves At least half the increase in this balanceof payments deficit is result of paying conv stantly increasing oil prices With inflation at an estimated 100 per cent by December Israeli economic planners both in government and the countrys small but dynamic private sector cannot plan ahead Moreover the Likud Government came to power with strong pledges to business that it would reduce the role of the state in the economy and curb the very active trade unions SMALLER IOVERNAIENI The historic allegiance of tlic longruling Labor Party which Mr Begin defeatedi with the Iiistradut labor movement had meant chronic featherbedding practices in government which angered the countrys business community But Labor Party leaders now in the op position Iiave blamed Israeli executives in part for the currently disastrous economic situation Israeli manufacturers pass along increasod costs to their customers as soon as they re ceive them claiming they must do so because finance charges are climbing so fast Interest rates for industrial borrowers in Israel are now running between 30 and 60 per cent an unheard of amount in any democracy today Mr Begin had promised to remove many state subsidies on food and some fuels by mid July But his government backed down when it appeared certain that such staples are cmking oil bread and milk would increase in cost by as much as 150 per cent with the subsidies removed In addition key state enterprises whose goods and services must account for sub stantial foreign exchange earnings are showing high deficits and revealing bad management El Al the state airline is an example Its small Boeing 747 fleet of lunibo jets has constant passenger load factor of about tot per cent the largest of any airline flying this aircraft Yet the busy airline with guaranteed passenger volume from Jewish families visiting Israel from around the world will 1050 $90 millions this year on operations EL AL IN TROLBLE El Als president General Mordechai Ilod has resigned and will face embarrassment since he was the Israeli Air Force coin mander in the Six Day War of 1007 and is one of the countrys great military hcios Given all this Israel must still pay for and maintain modern military and police ese tablishment so long as she remains small nation surrounded by enemy states Interpreting the news PLO losing tarnished image NEW YORK fPi There seems to be concerted international effort under way to bring new respectability to the Palestine Liberation Organization The recent visit of PLO Leader Yasser Arafat to Vienna at the invitation of Austrian hancellor Bruno Kricsky is an example of how European leaders are seeking per manent solution to thc Middle East problem There are also indications that Arafat may be invited again to address the linited Na tions General Assembly Washington too Seems to be moving toward more legitimacy for the PLO President Carter decently compared the Palestinian problem with the civil rights movement in the Both Krieskys talks with Arafat and arters civil rights analogy drew angry reaction The Austrian leader was criticiyed by Israel and the presidents comments were denounced by American Jewish groups Bill the latest moves seem to spring from growing acceptance of the idea that there can be no longterm solution in the Middle East without taking the Palestinians into account What is needed is for the Palestinians and Israel to back down from hardline positions and find some compromise both sides can live with One way might be for the PLO to recog nize the right of Israel to exist in return for Israeli agreement on the principle of Palestinian self determination There is draft resolution before the IN Security ouncil that would tac1tly recognize boh principles but Israel has refused to accept selfdetermination claiming that means Palestinian state which is unac ceptable to Jerusalem There are indications however that the PLO is ready to accept Israels existence For example when it appeared that the debate might end prematurely the PLO Kuwait and the LS an unlikely II agreed to postpone further Security Council discussion until later this month One problem is that the PLO is an umbrella organization covering wide spectrum of splinter groups and Arafats authority is not absolute He condemned the recent terrorist attack on the Egyptian embassy in Turkey carried out by group called Eagles of the Palestinian Revolution
