Tm Examiner claims copyright on all original news and advertising material created Barb Bouiton by its employees and published In this newspaper Does group support stand We have seen the enemy and she is us Women concerned about being treated as people can make that cry after the Women Alive conference in Waterloo on the weekend Elizabeth Elliot United States author wants to make women property Speaking at the Women Alive conference Ms Elliot said erasing the distinction between the sexes will destroy society and churches that men should be in itiators and women respondents that womens gift is response leading and following rule and obedience and that women who think of themselves as persons rather than women are victims of thoroughly non Christian ideology Women Alive is Christian evangelical inter deonominational organization The Barriefounded Barriebased organization by endorsing the views of speakers such as Elisabeth Elliot is in danger of becoming on organization of an entirely different type The right of women to be considered as persons long accepted in this country as fact is the subject of great debate in the United States That debate is bitter at least as bitter as the civil rights controversy which ripped that nation apart lit tle more than decade ago Making that debate more bitter are attempts by rightwing fundamentalist churches to make the issue of equal rights for everyone religious question That debate hastno place in Canada Ms Elliots comments which are undoubtedly sincere have done nothing but harm to Women Alive Women Alive would recoil in horror had Ms Elliot made the same remarks about Negroes Pakistanis FrenchCanadians or Chinese Yet Women Alive apparently endorses massive discrimination against women on the basis of sex and sex alone Women Alive should disassociate itself from Ms Elliots remarks or at the very least make clear just what its position on equal rights for every human be ing IS This millionaire did it on salary At the basis of Rifenbarks budget is monthly deposit in his savings ac count rabout 10 per cent of gross income is an ideal figure inlhis view Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Its often said that no one can get rich on salary aloncwthat you have to be born rich marry wealth or wheel and deal your way up through riskcapital ventures That cliche is challenged by former departmentstore employee now authorRichard Rifenbark 57 who puts his not worth at $1273000 He has written How to Beat the Salary Trap McGrawHill Ryerson 326 pages $1105t to demonstrate how regular salary can be the foundation of financial independence Evidently meticulous keeper of records Rifcnbark lists his salary major financial moves and net worth year by year Knowing your net worth is in fact the first of the eight steps he considers the keys to achieving financial security Each New Years Day throughout his working career he has drawn up balance sheet of his assets and liabilities and watching the increase in his net worth from year to year has re assured him about his course He concedes that reaching net worth of $100000 is the hardest part Second step is to draw up budgct of your annual expensesnot down to the last penny but detailed enough to ensure that you will spend less than you cant write your mp mPP If you would like to write your

protection during your salaried years protection after retirement and capital accumulation But you shouldnt make wealthbuilding Spartan exercise in selfdenial It ought to afford you the widest possible choice of material pleasures he says Next step is to choose your teamia group of experts with whom you can work in cluding an accountant specializing in taxation lawyer life insurance agent general insurance agent securities broker bank manager and property manager Rifenbark st rcsses the importance of finding experts with whom you feel com patible people who will admit it when they dont have the answer immediately who are generous with information and who are fun to do business with His first four steps involve preparation for investment while the other four concern the opportunit ics and processes of investment Rifenbarks fifth step is the creation of cashequivalent reservethat is readin cashable securities of little or no risk equal to about six months living expenses over and above cash savings equal to three months expenses on deposit in your savings account RISK APIIAI Step six is the building of liquidity reserve as third level of security This is fund that can be invested in higheryielding securities with slightly greater degree of risk that can be quickly turned into cash if necessary in other words an investment grade stockandbond portfolio This should be at least five per cent of your net Worth or more as you become older Establishing an optional investment fund is Rifcnbarks seventh step This calls for more aggressive stance but not foolishness Start your own investment fund so you dont have to pay additional commissions Rifenbark says Develop an investment sense and give yourself credit for being able to watch your money better than anyone else can He doesnt recommend either com modity opt ions or mutual funds Last of Rifcnharks eight steps is in vestment in residential income real estate which he values as tax shelter for today and as wealt

viral hypochondria that struck me this time took terrible turn for the worse when turned on my television set and saw Energy Minister Alastair Gilles lt lecturing provincial premiers on ana as natural resources The effect was devastating Just watching Gillespie peer over his half spectacles with blackboard pointer in hand while informing the premiers that Canada hasnt an endless supply of energy brought on relapse akin to the bubonic plague couldnt imagine more frightening react ion But had obviously undcrcstimatul the effects of Trudeau press conference on the human bodys rcctwcrysystcms And to The world today 11 By JOHN IIARHRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Israels troubles are usually measured in terms of her foreign policy rolc llut domes tically Israel is iii dccp crisis with severely devaluatcd currency huge public sect or strikes and galloping inflation The most obvious signs of internal problems have been the wccksvlong strikes of two major public entities El Al the state airline and Zim Israel thcstatc shipping line The El Al strike under way now for about month shows no sign of breaking at time of writing with the airlines worldgirdling jets parked in rows at Ben Gurion airport The losses in revenue especially at this time with the 30th anniversary of the foutr ding of the state of Israel only two weeks away is disastrous Tourists had planned visits from all over the world The Economist magazine estimates the El Al strike for much higher pay all round has already cost about 330 millions in lost business Israeli Finance Minister Simha Ehrlich who has to deal with the weight of economic decline while Prime Minister Mcnachcin Begin visits Washington hasjust muscled the state shipping line into the end of their strike It had lasted 80 days tying up the countrys largest shipping line which moves much of IS raels currencycoming exports and essential imports The crews of Zim were asking for wage hikes as high as 80 per cent Ehrlich promised action with that toughness we associate with Israels they in international affairs End st rikc he told Zims cm loyecs or he would charter foreign ships ililf even sell some of Zims tonnage

that the op position by criticizing his government was playing into the hands of the separatists began trembling and within minutes was being treated for severe case of demagogic delerium Volunteer workers with Demagoguery Anonynmous later explained how political statements such as the prime ministers could attack the nervous system like an overdose of alcohol Their ex planations were very helpful laterwhen Tory Leader Joe Clarkmodestly announced that his constitutional proposals scared the wits out of Rene Levesque but at the time of Irudcaus ronouncemcnt had nothing to protect me rom an attack of the DDs Ni DISPLAYS The reaction Would possibly have been less Internal trouble plagues Israel Understandany the Zim sailors and captains thought the minister was fooling until the chartered foreign ships began moving out cargoes stalled on jellies and in warehouses Zim Israel caved in and accepted the ministers muchreduced wage offer Meanwhile back at El Al the government is asking the staff to take wage cuts rather than increases to keep the airline viable These publicsector labor crises are merely symptomatic of national economy in trouble The fact is Israels necessity to maintain such vast defense establishment which gobbles up more than 40 per cent of output is main reason for economic decline The Israeli pound was devalued again about six months ago to half its previous rate and price inflation in 1978 is currently run ning at about 40 per cent Israeli citizens are burdened with taxload greater than in any of the Westem European democracies making entrepreneurship and investment almost impossible To add to these troubles Ehrlich is faced with the prospect that Israel must buy fur ther generation of expensive jet fighters in new deal yet to be worked out with the Jimmy Carter administration RECORD DEFENSE OSTS These machines might cost as much as $25 million each along with weapons systems and other electronic backup In favor of the Likud government is deep sct conservatism in economic policy which we see expressed in political terms by Prime Minister Begin The policy to reduce state corporations and Israels stifling bureaucracy has not yet been widely implemented 17s it moment tlt mil You ill 20 Trudeau adds new twist to definition of democracy severe had been at the press conference where its possible to work off frustrations by shouting crying or stomping out But its bit awkward putting on such displays in hospital particularly when the nurse is named Trudeau so you simmer in silence And even for healthy person its difficult to remain silent while the prime minister of the day suggests that federal opposition parties are aiding Quebec separatists while his Liberals struggle alone for Canadian un ity It makes you wonder what the for thcoming election campaign may be like After saying that the opposition was helping the separatists by constantly criticizing the government Trudeau was asked whether its really good for the country to suggest the loyal opposition is less than loyal Well dont know why this became news all of sudden he replied have made this speech several times made it at the Liberal conventiOn and have made it in this room No he went on he was not suggesting the opposition was less committed to Canada than he was was Lust saying that in desire to attack government on everything they are obviously making mistakes of judgments and their systematic attack on the government is playing into the hands of theseparatists How is that for demogoguery NOT FIRST TIME This is not thv first time that Trudeau and his ministers have planted such seed you might recall that Finance Minister Jean Chretien said in January that Clark was going to Quebec City to try and make cozy deal with the separatists but this is the first time that the prime minister has suggested that criticism of his government borders on sedition We all know that Trudeau wants to make national unity the focal point of his election campaign that he wants to convince Canadians that he and his government are best equipped to deal with Rene Levesque and his separatist Quebec government And thought the prime minister has been rather clver in keeping this issue ahead of economic mattersby suggesting there will be an economic resurgence only when we have slain the spectre of separatism As political gamesmanship goes this seemed fair enough But its another thing to suggest that Her Majestys Loyal Opposition whose primary par iamentary role is to oppose government IS cooperating with the separatists by criti cizing the government Admittedly had too much time on my hands to poder the propositionbefore began trembling that isbut the way figured it IYudeau was telling us that systematic criticism of his government is tantamount to trea50n That certainly adds new twist to the definition of parliamentary democracy The more think of it the more marvel that ever came out of the DDs unadultrated Itll sienna rAtctssisii riottmn stardom next crisis By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Sometimes it calls for ex traordinary effort to get things in bigger mess than they are but more than oc casionally this effort can be looked for from politicians As group politicians seem not to have learned the lesson of Humpty Dumpty highly important labor billBill 70 the Health and Safety Acthas been before the house of Ontario legislature now for year There have been few if any bills in recent times which have had such intense interest to labor and management Essentially the bill extends to other work places the rights enoyed now by workers in mining most nota Iy the right to refuse unsafe work and the right to establish plant safety committees GOSLOW Originally Labor Minister Bette Stephenson would have approached the broadening of the rights on gradual basis She said that the conditions of the legislation are so complicated and there is such difference in the conditions of different types of work that for the most part work places should be taken one at time dis cussed and studied and then practical and workable conditions draWn up before the act covered them She and her officials of course have to administer the act and know the problems GRITS WORKED But the bill got down to standing com mittee where the two Opposition parties had majority meaning they could change it at will And they did The New Democratic Party of course had its usual skyisthelimit ap roach on labor Eiestions lot of the time ey were able to aw the Liberals along with them And the bill that came back would cover everything right away It would even give policemen and firemen the right to refuse unsafe work right nowa matter which obviously requires deeply worked out guidelines and not to be blindly blundered into as the committee did Bette Stephenson said bluntly though irivately at the start of the session that would never put the bill through in its amended form again she had to administer it Yet at the same time she said it was too important to be dropped There was an impasse for long time But now the Liberals have broadened During the last few months they have done lot of studying and talking to many groups and have discovered that some of the amendments arent so good Actually during committee stage there were some of them they didnt favor They moved motion for example to exempt farmers But the Conservatives had to join the NDP in voting this down because even with it the bill would still have been too broad Anyway now they have publicly made some concessions They still havent gone as far as the government wants but they have at least shown some openness of mind and there would seem to be reasonable chance compromise Of course with politicians you never really can tell Let somebodys nose get out of joint and the NDPs is the most likely and we might end up in another nanconfidence crisis Canada story Deal better than expected By BOB BOWMAN British Columbia joined Canada in 1871 but it nearly didnt hap There were three fac tions in British Co umbia at that time One wanted to remain British colony another wanted to join the US and the third was in favor of trying to make deal With Canada As it worked out the British Columbian delegates made far better deal with Ottawa than they ever expected including the promise of transcontinental railway One of the reasons wh the British Columbians were able to such good deal was that the prospect of joining the us was so attractive The Americans had bought Alaska from Russia in 157 and were inter ested in owning the entire coast Then on May 10 1869 the Union Pacific Railway was completed to San Francisco providing the first transcontinental service There was ood shipping service between Victoria an San Francisco Another American transcontinental railway to Seattle was under construction So there were many immediate advantages to British Columbias joinin the US and as it turned out the Cana ian Pacific Railway was not completed until 1885 Ironically one of the British Columbian delegates to Ottawa was Dr Helmcken the leader of the party that wanted to join the US The trip ough the Sierras via the Union Pacific from San Francisco convinced him that it would be possible to build railway through the Rockies Sir George Cartier who led the Canadian negotiators turned on all his Gallic charm to sen Helmcken the rest of the deal Of course Britain was exerting powerful influence on British Columbia and Canada to get together
