socialism Speaking Thursday in Barrie Mr Miller said he favors free enterprise as the way to go That leads us to thought If Mr Miller really believes what he is saying then he should be in favor of his Tory government putting the Liquor Caveat emptor The end of summer By LEONARD NOBLE Control Board of Ontario into private hands Such move would let people buy their favorite wines at competitive prices Undoubtedly those prices would be great deal more reasonable than today The move might also forestall any further unreasonable price increases such as the one just ordered on all wine stocks The fact is the Ontario government has always operated the LCBO as profitable monopoly Last year the government profit was an incredible $1 million day As profitable as that business is the government ap parentlycan do nothing about keeping prices in line We think free enterprise could and should have an op portunity of doing just that Dear Sir Following are excerpts from our letter to the minister of housing ob jecting to the proposed Barrie seeder project Although not per taining to the hospitality aspect of your editorial of May 1979 Tourism Industry $70M Business we feel they are relative to the editorial We love Barrie but are sadden ed that there does not seem to be or have been through the years an in terest by city councils in the preser vation of the ancestral face of this lovely city Barrie is steeped in history Unfortunately our present mayor and some persons at city hall do not see the value of preservation of older buildings be they institu tional landmarks commercial buildings or homes We believe pro jects to preserve have done more to save citys core and promote tourism than would the proposed seeder project Barrie has its bay and historical past to revive its downtown and stimulate tourism and for this reason existing commercial buildings in the original downtown with closer proximity to the bay than the seeder should be restored and revitalized Efforts to complete the reclaimed land area in front of Fred Grant Square should be ex pedited for it to become people place ie swimming boating relaxing indoors and outdoors bandshell indoor and outdoor theatre and music lawn bowling skating Then Barrie would really have right to say to visitors We treat you royally In our travels to different cities and towns we are more likely to head for an original downtown core that has been attractively historically and interestingly revitalized than new shopping mall We would hope the province would redirect their funding to the existing core which could be joy to tourists and locals alike and achieved without expropriation of neighbourhood homes Yours truly Ilene and Bob Crossan Barrie DearSir In his Federalism and the French Canadians Mr Trudeau outlines his strategy for making Canada socialist by establishing socialist bridgeheads and implan tingradicalism believe that he is absolutely determined to make Canada socialist country even if this runs we want your opinion Something on your mind Send Letter to the Editor Please make it an original copy and sign It The Examiner doesnt publish unsigned lot teis but It you wish pen name will be

May 23 expect him to offer Ed Broadbent farreaching pro gram of socialist measures in return for his support and dont expect Broadbent to refuse With the NDP keeping the Liberals in power Canadians will be forced to endure another five years of Trudeau arrogance con frontation with the provinces and government spending run wild Contrary to popular socialism is not imposed by the masses It is always imposed from the top Yours truly Peter Gage Victoria BC Dear Sir Should the Simcoe County French Language Advisory Committee be successful in their bid for an entire ly separate school facility in Penetanguishene trust they will not overlook the advantages of sharkfilled moat properly equipped with guarded drawbridge Yours truly Doug Reid Stroud Dear Sir Studying the avalanches of Let ters to the Editorswc must become aware that there are three main complaints against our pre sent government inflation low dollar value and unemployment Lets be fair and open minded and see how other governments handle these calamities Labor governed Great Britain and has 15 to 20 per cent inflation SocialDemocratic Germany has 18 per cent Christian Democratic Italy has over 25 per cent ItightoftheMiddlc governed Japan has 30 to 35 per cent and so has lsrael France with her enor mous resources has 15 to 20 pcr cent and dictatorialgoverned Argentina Chile and others have 40 to 50 per cent inflation We must thus come to thc conclu sion that our own Canadian inflation is not an isolated government crcatcd malady but an interna tional problem which thc finest brains in the World huyc not been able to tackle Computers too liiiyc done away with armies of previously nccdcd manpower Therefore inflation flllctuiiling dollar values and uncmploymcnt are by no means an isolatcd strictly Canadian calamity but an lnltlilil tional plight They are all due to distinct change in our lifestyles beyond thc reach of any govern ment The only remedy would be drastic cutback in our spending patterns and demands on life But such step would be so unpopular that no government embarking on it would have chance to survive So lets wake up and recognize ourselves as the source of our prcdictnmcnts real or imagined actually we are much better off than any generation before us There are very few among us who are not richer today than they were 10 years ago Odo Waldstein Bccton

the incorporation thelegal fees would be in the The world today By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Price and production of Irans oil will con tinue to influence our future supply and use of oil and gas as the new republican and Islamic government in Tehran sets rules for its oil output The newest of these is the most ominous that Iran will offer all its oil for export at only spot prices which could mean as much as $24 barrel The present world price at around $1400 ton will go up soon given the announcements by Kuwait and Venezuela they will increase their oil export prices But neither of these countries nor any of the other OPEC Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries members plan to hold up the world market like the new Iranian regime The Iranian Statc Oil Company is now under the presidency of lawyer and leader of the National Front the Shahs main opposi tion man who knows nothing about pctrolcum management Bcforc thc Ionicst ic upheavals

COMMlSSION ll ill ll Oil price rise no end in sight acceptance would be necéssary before any shares could be sold range of $300 to $600 for such additional ser vices as applying to the government carry ing out necessary correspondence writing the opening bylaws and preparing share cer tificates Incorporation may be sought from either the federal government or provincial government The choice depends partially upon the scope of the operation says Riddell The overwhelming majority of corpora tions are private That means that the transfer of shares is restricted and the public may not be invited to buy the shares public company shares of which would be offered to the public would have to seek out an investment dealer to underwrite the of fering and to submit detaled prospectus to the provincial securities mmission whose Omitted permanently from Irans new oil export policy will be Israel which relied on the country for about 60 per cent of its crude imports and South Africa which imported almost 80 per cent from Iran An immediate political result from Irans decision against Israel was concern in Tel Aviv that final agreement on the Camp David agreement which includes restoring the Sinai to Egypt would also mean the loss of that regions substantial petroleum reserves And Israel could probably meet about 90 per cent of her domestic needs from the known oil reserves in the occupied Sinai alone Oil and politics have been inseparable in the modern age from the nationalization of the Mexican oil industry in the spring of 1938 This was the classic instance of develop ing country seizing hold of its major natural resource industry at time when it had no financial resources and very little indigenous staff to do so Nevertheless in Mexicos case the creation of PEMEX Petroleos Mexicanos or Mexican Petroleums resulted in time in major state enterprise which created its own institutions to train engineers refinery managers and technicians Moreover PEMEX over the years became efficient enough to seek world financing of its now very larger facilities which are strained again not for political reasons but becauseof the massive oil reserves now known to mm in southern Mexico MY APOLOGIES FOR BEING LATE BUT ARE YOU REFERRING Incorporating business can pay you dividends In law limited company which is what is created through incorporation is an ar tificial person owned by its shareholders Its primary advantage is that the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of capital for which each of them has subscrib ed If you operate as an individual on the other hand theres no limit to your personal liabili ty for the debts of the business That means that your personal assets house car and so on can be seized if necessary to pay the obligations of the business Here are some other advantages of in corporation as listed by Ridell Continuous existence The corporation continues unless it is ended through bankruptcy winding up or statutory amalgamation Continuous existence after the death of majority shareholder is of significance in éstatc planning Riddell points out Transferability of shares Shareholders may buy and sell shares without affecting the corporate existence more easily than in partnership or sole proprietorship Right to contract The corporation being separate and distinct from its shareholders has the right to contract and to own property in its own name Taxation There are certain legitimatc taxation advantages in the corporate form TAX SAVINGS In Ontario for instance the corporalc tax is 25 per cent of the first $150000 of active business income and 49 per cent on the ex cess For manufacturing companies cach rate is five percentage points lower However when the limited companys rc tained taxable income exceeds $600000 at the start of the year the lower rate is reduced by the aunt of the excess In the case of per sona service corporations none of the in come is eligible for the lower rate On the topic of taxation there are other ad vantages to incorporation to consider One is that the overall rate of tax may be reduced by taking the members of your fami ly in as shareholders and distributing the profit among them as dividends That advantage would be lost of course if those family members werent in lower tax bracket than your own Another advantage is one that cant be substantiated but seems obvious from con versations with operators of small businesses The corporate form offers numerous op portunitics to charge to the business wide range of essentially personal outlays operation of the family car business transportation dining out entertaining cor porate clients vacation trips calling on out oftown clients or increasing your skills and thelike The scope is limited only by ones cons cience and the danger of being caught T0 ELECTRICAL lOWER OR MALIGNANCIES This is little piece that did couple of years ago for Salvation Army Month see that it is that time of year again and without wishing to appear presumptuous would like to repeat that column as follows Some years ago there used to be Criminal Court Room located in the Old City Hall in Toronto called Court Room Maybe its still there for all know It was ated in the bowels of that enor mous bull ing and was conveniently located adjacent to the womens Holding Cells or Tank with door leading from the Tank into the prisoners dock in that Court Room It was small Court Room as court rooms go and dealt almost exclusively with criminal charges against women The most prevalent charge was prostitution and was known in legal vernacular in those days as Vig The reason being that charge of prostitution was defined under Part of the old vagrancy section of the Crininal Code and thus the appellation It is impossible to attempt to describe the utter and complete degradation that en compassed all individuals who participated in that court room It was so macabre that it might have been something out of old Elizabethan England LED TO CELL Four or five women would be led into the prisoners dock through the door of the holding cell Their cases were then tried and completed usually by conviction and sentence after plea of guilty police of ficer would then open the door that led into the Tank and those prisoners would go back through that door and be replaced by four or five others There was also door to the side of the dock that opened into the court room but it very seldom opened since as most of the ac cused women pleaded guilty as previously mentioned and since jail term was the penalty they were destined to go back into the Tank and from there to the Don Jail to serve out their time Whenever the door opened into the Tank the rumble of what sounded like hundred voices talking at once could be heard On one occasion rising over and above all of that noise was the laintive words of song being sung by an 01 pro which went Ive played aroun and stayed aroun This 01 town 00 long Summers almost gone At that point the door closed and no more of the song could be heard as Court resumed RAY 0F SUNSHINE What brings all this to mind you ask This is the commencement of the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal month The Salvation Ar my was the only ray of sunshine that ever me into that otherwise dismal court room do whatever it could in quiet humble and efficient way One can say that the Ar my went where angels feared to tread What did the Army do that was so great It recognized that the individual no matter how low he or in this case she had sunk in the mire of the social highway they were still human beings that needed the love understanding and respect that any human being needs if it is to flourish So when the Salvation Army Canvasser comes around dig deep because you need organizations like the Salvation Army to help amongst others those people for whom Summers Almost Gone Backgrounder Wood resources running thin TORONTO CP More tre in Ontario are being cut than are being re 22d some spokesmen involved in gt there could be serious shortag for pulp and paper mills and for sa ills Kenneth Hearnden director of the forestry school at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay says pulp and apcr companies in Nor thern Ontario probdgly will have trouble get ting enough wood wit in 20 years And the president the Northern Ontario district council of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union says sawmills in the area of the Northern Ontario town of Hearst probably will be short of wood in five years Canada is under the happy delusion that we have vast resources ofbitanding timber Hearndcn says Thats not true anymore In 1977 Premier William Davis said the provincial government would plant at least two trees for every one cut and would regenerate every acre harvested it was stupid statement an official with the natural resources ministry says It certainly didnt come out of this office Almost all the forest land in Ontario is own ed by the provincial government In 1978 forest companies cut 72 million cubic feet of wood The natural resources ministry rcplanted enough trees to replace 53 million cubic feet In the same year tIAlLZSO square miles of forest was cu not replanted There now are about square miles of land that have not been anted IuIio Mioi of the sanill workers union says there will be wood shortages within five years in Hearst about 400 kilometres north of Sudbury Theres no question wood will have to be transported in from vast distances In 1977 the government received slightly more than $34 million from forest companies for trees they had cut The province spent $50 million on reforstation that year But study by FLC Reed and Associates consulting firm in Vancouver estimated that the provinces total revenue from forestry as $165 million 0f Ontarios 31000 square miles of forest less than 9400 square miles are considered productive
