committee system in Barrie should be scraped in favor of return to standing committees Barrie and many municipalities once followed the standing commit tee system recommending directly to council And Barrie like some other municipalities abandoned it with valid reason At general committee aldermen are able to review all matters that will come before council Meeting find difficulty with any return to the standing committee system What would happengfor example if an alderman wanted fuller in formation on finances but was not member of the financial standing committee The danger is that an alderman would vote at council without being fully informed as he or she wished In some cases decisions might simply be referred back to com mittee for further discussion thus slowing the whole process Under the present system lets WildiIlruscgm figif ButteI lien id nwill £2 god Crossfltalbri Year of the Child cruel One to thousands By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst This International Year of the Child now drawing to close and inspired by the United Nations has been very cruel one for hun dreds of thousands of the worlds children This fall the global press is full of pictures of the children of the Vietnamese boat people suffering terriny and often dying in their crude boats and in the last few weeks with further photos of the starving children of Cambodia or Kampuchea The Cambodian crisis of human survival is even more acute than that of the fleeing Vietnamese boat people This is because the Cambodian government is playing an im mensely cruel game of litics by refusing to let Westerndirected aidxfeams into that dev astated country Red Cross and United Nations relief By comparison the problems of children in western and very comfortable societies seem less vital and surely more easily solved than the lifeanddeath issues facing Asian children Television tiilkvshows in North America often concentrate on such themes as battered babies disoriented teenagers and the youthful reliance on hard drugs In none of these instances are children specialists now estimate that one half of me threatened by sudden cxtcrmination either by war or famine CV8 ed comrauiic°m2°£ty

for city business The problem for the press and public would be to keep abreast of all the various standing com mittees not an easy proposition Indeed we see general committee as promoting the freedom and availability of public information Aldermen too we believe would study if that is what is wanted by any elected official does exist We trust that what Ald Parker and all city aldermen are striving for is to improve the workings of city government The way to do that is to have freedom of information on the publics business wherever and whenever possible We see the general committee system flaws and all as part of that healthy obligation letters to the editor Sir Today it seems fashionable to openly criticize large corporations in the energy field for their insistence on huge profits and their apparent disregard for the people who are responsible for their success in the first place With this perspective in mind find it refreshing to write this letter to acknowledge the generosity and

of this community and we gratefully thank this organization publicly mean that the unborn baby could not be destroyed after five months of pregnancy Abortion has always existed to some degree but as an underground criminal activity Only since the late 19605 has it been legalized and readily available It is doubly ironic since during the same period the worlds most brilliant doctors have discovered more and more about the marvellous activities and responses of the unborn baby even in the very early weeks of pregnancy The heart beating after only 23 davs Dr Ian Donald from England using ultrasound made remarkable film of an unborn child 10 weeks after fertilization jumping up and down in his mothers womb Moreover doctors have found ways of detec ting and treating certain problems in the womb Sir William Liley of New Zealand spoke of Ontario leaders agreed on sovereigntyassociation By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO It was good to hear Premier William Davis in the legislature this week confirming once again our absolute com mitment not to negotiate sovereignty association with Quebec And it was heartening to hear Liberal leader Stuart Smith and NDP leader Michael Cassidy endorse his basic position Whatever few members may feel privately at least in public the Ontario legislature stands united against the Parti Quebecois backdoor approach to in dependence And thats important As Davis said Quebeckers have the right to know as they assess their choices where Ontario stands The dismemberment of country especially by stealth is not pleasant business and everyone should be clear on FROM THE LEGISLATURE GOOD WAY What was best about Davis speech was his pitch to Quebec emotions rather than just dol larandcent federalism we must assert that sovereignty assocration constitutes the closing of doors the limiting of hopes and the diminishing of Quebecers future he said We will not be part of this denial of the future this constraint upon the potential of French Canada Instead our position is based on supple and humane nationhood one in which all or in the many bleak refugee camps in Thailand the Cambodian regime says foreign food aid is really Western political manoeuvre to help overthrow the govern merit NO CHILDREN LEFT If this pattern continues all Cambodian children under five will be dead in this devastated country by the end of next year and most children over ten will suffer the same fate by the mid 19805 These pictures of emaciated and dying children are not new to us We have seen them in our papers and in more recent years on our television since the end of World War No The long and appallingiy tragic Vietnam War supplied numerous print and television views of children dying starving and in great travail on both sides backgrounder expectancy is rising The World Atlas of the Child published by the World Bank at the beginning of this year indicates that life expectancy for the child in any typical lowincome country has increased from 36 years in 1960 to 13 years in 1975 In the same typical poor Third World country the number of children will probably double by the year 2000 from what it was in 1975 WE AN IIELI In rich countries like Canada more and more of us are taking dircct personal responsibility for the poor and sick children of our world The tremendous public response to the Canadian governments program to bring in Vietnamese boat people with their children is positive example of what we can do individually at home for the worlds children when we really want to Who was The Sweeney By BRUCE LEVETT LONDON CP Sweeney Todd refuses to die which is strange considering he never reallylived In the rhyming patois of the Cockney Sweeney Todd means flying squad their name for the guntoting harddriving elite corps of the metropolitan police He also has given his name to Vancouver based rock group and to hit Broadway musical which this summer won eight Tony Awards So who was Sweeney Todd If he never lived how has he taken his place alongside such London fiends as Jack the Ripper The story is that the British public first heard of his exploits in 1840 in the pages of there WAS pie stall pened The reallife barber and pie lady were incensed They threatened to sue Lloyd How ever just about tlien they learned the rudiments of advertising Far from damaging their business the stories were bringing them fame and customers in unaccustomed number Sure the proprietors now were saying they had seen Sweeney Todd He was huge blackhaired villain He ran the barber shop just few years ago Actually author Prest had based his story line on two real murderers One was German butcher named Resscl Could it have hap who ran shop in Magdeburg in the 1750s He Yours sincerely

item reporting protest march by 17000 persons in London England against proposed tightening up of the present British abortion law For more than 10 years it has been legal in Britain to terminate pregnancy up until 28 weeks of gestation If we translate this bluntly we might say Its not wrong to solution to problems should indicate the widespread lack of knowledge of those con cerned Dr Robert Pearson of Honolulu reported that 80 per cent of fully informed women decided AGAINST abortion after learning of the development of the baby alternatives the physical and mental after effects But the life saving option requires months of care and years of followup In the next decade shall we choose death or life and friends are indulging in rhetoric for domestic Ontario consumption When Quebec votes for sovereignty association then Ontario and the rest of Canada will have no choice but to negotiate with the reality of Quebec that wants to leave Confederation Maybe That will depend on everything from the wording of the referendum to how politicians at the time perceive the popular attitude to TOO LATE This vision of Quebecers growing within Confederation must be matched against the selfimposed ghetto mentality that lies at the base of sovereigntyassociation Whether or not the Davis dream of Canada can penetrate the se aratist veil spun by the proPQ media aroun Quebec is moot point So too is the lack of impact it will have on people who already feel Quebec rather than Canada is their homeland with only the demonbarber with premises at 186 Fleet Street Sweeney Todd first

Jesus name Amen nd so as also James and John the sons of Zebedee ihich were partners with Simon for the increase in gold prices believes Peter Cavelti senior vicepresident of Guardian Trust Co Toronto Up until the end of 1978 the bullion price had been almost flat in terms of the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen Its big rise in dollar terms represented an international flight from the dollar During the first 10 months of 1979 however gold appreciated 83 per cent against the Swiss currency and 118 per cent against the yen This is largely attributable to the spread of inflation to these countries which had previously enjoyed almost stable prices Cavelti told seminar sponsored by the Investment Funds Institute of Canada Switzerland for example recorded 48 per cent rise in consumer prices in the 12 months ended in September The comparable rate in Germany was 53 per cent Canadas inflation rate in the same period was 84 per cent RAPID RISE Commenting on the decline in gold from $440 to its recent price $3843 at the moment he was speaking Cavelti said that the yellow metal had simply risen too far and too fast At prices over 8100 liquidation was inevitable because of the large number of people with paper profits of more than $100 an ounce US Treasury decision to abandon its regular schedule of public auctions of bullion which are designed to reduce its holdings and to hold future auctions irregularly on short notice This tends to disrupt supply patterns and to promote uncertainty thereby depressing the price says Cavelti author of forthcoming book How To Invest In Gold INVESTMENT AIMS In his view gold should constitute between five and 20 per cent of an individuals in vestment portfolio depending upon the in dividuals age and objectives Anyone buying gold however should realize that there is possibility of wide price swings both higher and lower If the price of gold should decline there would be one consolation It would mean that the economy is entering period of stability and that other securities would be rising in value Cavelti points out that purchases of gold bullion arent subject to provincial sales tax and that the spread between bid and asked prices is 15 per cent Sales of gold coins however are subject to sales tax in number of provinces including Ontario The effect of this is to make the effective spread much wider and to force the holder to wait longer in order to break even 1968 But this is the first time he has run for the highest office in the United States After Wednesda of the first presidential primary Feb 26 On Thursday California Gov Edmund Brown is to announce his candidacy Carter will officially enter the 19m race Dec In seeking to unseat Carter the 47year old Kennedy is emphasizing what he calls the need for leadership for the 19805 to halt sense of lack of direction in the US LEADS IN POLLS Publicopinion polls show Kennedy leading Carter among Democrats although the mostrecent surveys indicate the gap is narrowing Both camps say it is too early to give much credence to polls Perhaps the most difficult issue to measure on Kennedy candidacy is the Chappaquiddick incident Kennedy says he expects to be asked and will answer all questions about the car accident 10 years ago in which Mary Jo Kopechne drowned With the launching of his campaign Kennedy follows in the political footsteps of his older brothers As senator from Massachusetts John Kennedy announced his candidacy for pres ident in January 1960 went on to win 10 primaries and then defeated Richard Nixon George Pitt immortalized Sweeney Todd on stage in 1842 adding his own twists to the legend He had Todd in fit of rage drawing pistol and shooting Mother Lovett
