Bell dispute must end The public has right to be concerned about the continuing pmblems at Iiell anada This week series of rotating strikes by service employees at Bell escalated into full stiike against the company The union calls the move lock out by liell while the com pany insists the 15000 technicians and installers affected have walked off the job Somehow the semantics dont really matter The effect is bound to mean increasing difficulty in maintaining proper telephone service by llell to the public There is no indication right now that the strike will place undue hardship on the public Ilut who can predict what will happen in week or month or more ifthe strike is allowed to continue on This is no ordinary labor dispute and Bell is not just another private company Ise of the telephone is not lux ury but an essential seiyice much the same as hydro or public utilities Iloth Ilell and its unionized workers thus have very real commitment to the public at large Since the troubles began at Bell in June the rotating strikes have had only marginal affect on the public Service has been slowed down and installation work on new phones has been delayed The public can live with that to some degree What it can not accept is serious and prolonged delays or even worse outright disruption in telephone service ompanics who depend on the telephone to do business emergency services sUch as fire police and hospitals simply must have reliable telephone service The bottom line in this dispute is public safety and that is something neither the union nor management can jeopardize lnfortunatcly after two months of dispute the tell sita tion appears to have wriisened Whats worse is that no serious negotiations between management and labor have taken place foi some weeks Both parties have an obligation to get back to the bargain ing table immediately and bargain in good faith fora fair set tlement If either party cannot or will not do this then the govern ment will have to step in and in the public interest make settlement happen Certainly the public is under no illusions about the pro blems at llell They realize something has to giveand fast Your business

terms must have increased by more than 100 per cent The 19705 have brought period of un paralleled prosperity to Canadian agriculture says Gordon MacEachern president of the Agricultural Economics Research Co CH of Canada SUPPORT LIIES Compared to US farmers MacEachern writes in the current issue of The Canadian Banker farmers inavc had better decade primarily as result of greater government price and income support In general terms commercial farmers are not suffering from low net income situa tion but benefit disproportionately from price and income policies such as marketing board policy feed grain freight assistance dairy subsidies and some price stabilization policies Commercial farmers those with gross farm sales of more than $25000 year operate about 30 per cent of the farms in Canada but account for 70 per cent of produc tion Obviously the rewards of farming arent spread evenly throughout the industry Certain areas of the country have speCific income problems Specific commodity groups have cyclical problems from time to time Cashflow problems may confront those farmers who borrowed heavily to begin farm ing or to expand their operations in recent years IEMNISIIILV The basic reason for the growth of farm in come iii the 1070s has been the world food de mand and supply situation Dollar devaluation has also boosted farm prices without iiiiintxliately offsettingcost in creases But government price and income support muhanisms have been an increasingly imA portant force boosting farm prices and net farm income of commercial farmers over the decade IllacEachern says He adds that significant proportion of the continuing rise in agricultural land prices almost tripled on average in the past 10 years results from capitalization of price and income

the golden era may not last into the 1880s These danger signals will be the subject of the next column From the legislature By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker displayed many faults during his 195763 Ottawa reign but he had and hast one praiseworthy attribute where he stands without equal He was the first prime minister we ever had who was proud to be an unhyphenated Canadian He did not reject his German roots They just werent that important to him He was Canadian first And during his short sojurn in power he tried to instill similiar love of country in all our ethnic groups not forgetting the native Indian He insisted that Reserve Indians for exam ple as Canadians be given vote in federal elections even though many of them rejected it and some even rioted against it Unfortunately since Diefenbakers day things have gone backwards in dealings w1th Indians WANT MORE Not only are Indians even less integrated than they

gunfire reneWs concern for peace in Middle East LONDON CP burst of gunfire in Iraq has raised the spectre of instability in critical part of the sensitive Middle East Until recently Western powers had largely ignored Iraqs economic and political poten tial Since the fall of the monarchy 21 years ago Iraq has been considered too wrapped up in its internal problems to pose threat to out side areas Successive rulers were absorbcd with the complex job of staying in power However the recent discovery of top level antigovernment conspiracy which sent 21 men before the firing squads is changing Watern appreciation of the Iraqi situation This fresh sign of instability might not be so worrying were it not happening in the worlds third largest oilexporting country This concern over oil supply contrasts with the view that the unrest also delivers hard blow to the common front of conservative and radical Arab states opposing Egypts peace agreement with Israel Iraq has population of 12 million the most heavily populated Arab state east of Egypt It has more than 200000 men under arms equipped by the Soviet Union Had Iraq and Syria solidified their detente into close military cooperation they would have been able to field an army of more than 500000 men and 4000 tanks To the south is Saudi Arabia with only 58000 soldiers country well able to see ad vantages in cooperating with its northern neighbor against whatever threat might emerge from troubled Iran to the northeast LESS INVOLVED Traditionally Iraq has remained somewhat less involved in the ArabIsraeli dispute as it worked to solve its own internal fractures Such problems were aggravated by the Kurdish revolt for instance But that was in the past More recently agreement with Syria after 10 years of animosity has brought change Iraq sudden ly was strong enough to replace Egypt as an ally of Syria and Saudi Arabia and the political centre of gravity was shifting in the Arab world Iraqi isolationism began to wane It ended its yearlong trade boycott of Britain suc cession of European foreign ministers trooped through Baghdad in recognition of what peared to be new crucial lynchpin of Mid le East politics

Publishor routv1 the right to udit revise classify or mind on odvortlu Take note new industry By ALEX MANJLRIS Progress is measured in many ways One of the main indicators of healthy economy is the activity in the housing commercial and industrial sectors of our local building in dustry Sure buildings and houses are being built throughout Barrie but we are and have been experiencing building slowdown at time when we should be experiencing building boom We are experiencing period when in dustry has been making large profits and are anxious to invest that profit in plant expan sions and new plants This in turn stimulates large commercial and housing developments Since Barrie is not in position to ac commodate full scale industrial develop ment it will continue to lose out on all aspects of the building boom As citizens we should be concerned because when as city we are unable to produce enough real growth to of set inflation it costs the taxpayer that much more That is what is happening here in Bar rie and that is why our taxes are so high Sure out City Fathers and administration will throw out their chests and say what about Hayes Dana Ltd Wha about the ex pansion plans announ 3th by Molsons Brewery Gould Manufac ring General Tire and Rubber Company and Hayes Dana Ltd ESTABLISHED EARLIER Sorry to deflate your ego but Hayes Dana Ltd etablished here due to the efforts of Bert Cook and the expansion programs for the other industries were set up when they established their growth patterns probably decade in advance Existing industry will expand and grow as Barrie grows but it will take new industry to create an environment for growth Available land and promotion are two of the magnets which attract industry to an area One stumbling block is annexation Until that is settled we do not have land available for industry There are very few visible signs that our Industrial Commission is doing great deal of promotion to attragaindustry Trade fairs come and go but has rrie ever been represented 6000 EXIIIBITORS For example lets take the annual Hanover Fair an industrial trade fair whic draws about 6000 European and Americ ex hibitors It provides an opportunity to meet large number of select companies in short period of time and many of these companies are looking for base to enter the North American manufacturing market The Cana dian and Ontario government booths available as base of ration to industri commissioners in atten ance You say this could be costly not so if you could attract only one major industry it would more than offset any expenses incur red over the next 50 years We need more than change of attitudes as see it we need change of bodies in certain places otherwise Barrie will never achieve its full potential Backgrounder love affair lasts forever TORONTO CP Even the threatened gasoline shortage cant kill mans love affair with the automobile That was obvious as dozens of people brav ed the heat and periodic downpours to attend the recent 10th annual rally of the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada The real love affair is between the owners and their old or rare motorcycles and cars There were 51 antique cars at the meet Its kind of an interesting phenomenon said Norm Hathaway of Toronto talking about the almost fanatical interest he and other club members have in their vehicles Hathaway has seven antique or classic cais including 1911 model Ford Speedster which he and his son Norm put together piece by piece He al ohas 1960 RollsRoyce that was own ed by Gilbert Eaton of the Eaton family and 1928 Packard Dietrich coupe one of only 25 built It was owned by the Nielsen family the chocolate manufacturers WORKED SEVEN YEARS Fred Twist of Whitby Ont says his 12 cylinder 1938 Packard Coupe gets 10 miles to the gallon sol dont know how long well be able to run it But there is not much chance of him letting it go after working seven years to restore the classic which cost $5000 even in 1938 It was wreck when bought it said the retired tool and die engineer You pretty well have to be practical person to restore these cars former Ontario Provincial Police chief also was at the meet eager to talk about his 1931 Henderson fourcylinder motorcycle They were beautiful bikes nothing like them he said lot of people thought Hon da made the first fourcylinder Henderson made them from 1902 to 1931 bible
