Student Manpower Centre program Its an apt slogan for students and employers alike Students profit by summer job in two ways It provides needed income for the summer and the upcom ing school year Equally important the summer job gives practical ex perience in the work world For many the job is their first first job welldone will bring references for future employ ment Students realize that and work hard to prove their worth Employers benefit too by hiring student Students are ready supply of labor More community businessmen are using that labor supply and finding it to their advantage One advantage is the job they get done Students have pro ven themselves reliable willing workers For every dissatisfied student employer theres hundred satisfied customers What students lack in experience they make up for in drive and enthusiasm There are other benefits to student employers Money is one Employers often get return on their dollar through government subsidy programs The Ontario Youth

people who came to the twoday blood clinic to share their health with others Unfortunately 116 had to be denied this privilege for various reasons but mainly due to the fact that they had received polio injec tion within the past week Nevertheless 699 units of life saving blood is record for the city of Barrie and helps overcome the present blood bank shortage Our many thanks Sincerely Ethel Turnbull Dear Sir Ald Mills comment in City of Barrie council meeting that he thought it appropriate to relocate Barries excess marine and game life to Angus triggered soft spot in my heart Rather than to visualize possible slaughter abuse or abandonment of these creatures thought Id do good deed and find home for them Since my homes is in Angus can vassed many many homeowners in Angus to give them choice of animals that Mr Mills is sure our town can accommodate During my travels found the peo ple of Angus generally live in home which compare favorably with From the legislature By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Whether an elected official is in conflictofinterest situation isnt always obvious but recent court decision here involving two Toronto school trustees illustrates were going in the right direction The two men sit on the Toronto board of educat ion Their wives are elementary school teachers in the Toronto public system The Ontario Supreme ourt ruled there was indirect gain by the trustees and therefore conflictofintcrest when they voted on the Toronto secondary school contract The court said there is an historical relationship between elementary and secondary school contracts As result the trustees were suspended from the board for period and one of the wives claims she is abandoning her profession so her husband wont be placed in compromising position IS OKAY Opposition MPP Ted Rounsall NDP Windsor Sandwich urged education minister Bette Stephenson to change the conflictof interest law in the legislature bible thought Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that VH ma obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need Hebrews Hi Take the bold approach believe God for the impossible Is there anything too hard for me saith the lord Jesus said If ye shall ask anything in my name will do it letters to the editor those Ive seen in Barrie They speak the same language have the same pride in home and hometown express the same concerns over en vironment and other community matters as do our neighbors in Bar me Mr Mills will be unhappy to hear Essa Township Council has long since had bylaw preventing crea tion of ranches pigsties bird sanc tuaries or zoos on residential pro perty within the illageof Angus wonder why an Alderman on the council of our neighboring com munity wouldnt have acquainted himself better with our standards of living before making such state ment in council Does he regard Angus so highly that he genuinely wants to move here with his chicks and hens or does he dislike the village and its peOpIe so much he concludes we have no pride no controls and no feelings work at CFB Borden as Civilian Personnel Administrator and am proud of my association with the communities of Borden and Angus also have respect for the community of Barrie and would ex pect an official representing that ci ty to show equal courtesy to his neighbors Sally Donovan Angus Decision helps conflict ruling He wanted one spouse to be able to vote on the others salary If voting on question does not put money directly in your pocket you have no conflict Bounsall suggested Indirect gain and any community of in terest people might have he didnt mention Stephenson was noncommittal when she responded in the House but later said she had no intention of recommending changes in the current municipal conflictofinterest law Which is good to hear NICE MOVE Its understandable that the teacher unions have long favored such husbandwife com binations on boards of education because it can give them an edge at contract time Not only could it mean favorable vote on their proposals the unions could gain an advantage from knowing the boards inside thinking The same applies to the tendency of teachers to run for boards of education in jurisdictions other than where they teach The courts havent ruled on that yet But this latest Supreme Court decision must make their positions dicey indeed MAKE TOUGHER There is an historical relationship amongst all teacher contracts and voting in one area for big money or job security as enrolment declines can certainly influence another boards negotiations In addition there should be basic philosophic objection to having public ser vants or their wives set the salary levels for other public servants They have vested interest in helping each other out If anything Stephenson should amend the law to make the conflictofinterest provisions harder rather than easier BUSINESS 7266537 EDITORS Craig Elson managing editor tan Mulgrew

The Jameson la rs Parliament By STEWART MacIIEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Joe Clark has always maintained that one of John Diefenbakers greatest mistakes when he assumed the primne ministership in 1957 was to rely on the senior bureaucracy that had served successive Liberal ad ministrations since 1935 Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The departure of head offices from Montreal has been subject of conjecture for years says Professor Fernand Martin In the early 19705 people wondered whether the exodus was real Today they are trying to measure its importance Martin an economist at the University of Montreal is the author of Montreal An Eco nomic Perspective just published by the Howe Research Institute nonprofit Montrealbased think tank The principle beneficiary of that exodus has been Toronto Martins research in dicates that the Ontario capital started to attain primacy in number of business areas especially the stock market about 1960 and since 1976 has even surpassed Montreal in size of population An end to growth isnt necessarily disaster Martin says but it poses serious problems of economic adjustment Head offices are important because of the power of decision the pool of information and knowhow and the authority over operations Their greatest influence is exercised through decisions regarding financial transactions choice of subcontractors and outside consultants advertising research certain aspects of production technology and the organization of marketing Head offices depend upon local amenities such as commuter transportation national and international communications diver sified skills and services cultural and social facilities and such less easily defined features as personal contact and affinity MULTIPLIER There were about 45000 headoffice jobs in Montreal last year sustaining perhaps 112500 Montreal jobs through what economists call the multiplier effect How many head offices have left Montreal Martin says he can give no single answer partly because not all such departures are official SCOOPS WE MUST 00 WNW NOW ABOUT MY common Len Sevick manager Calvin Felepchuk

the incoming Tory government and as result Diefenbaker was effectively sabotaged from within He perhaps should have been more ruthless said the 39year old Tory leader now an incoming prime minister himself prominent plank in Clarks successful Tale of cities rise and fall Sun Life Assurance Co was vilified when it announced officially that it was tran sferring its headquarters to Toronto It has been more typical for departing companies to maintain headoffice shell in Montreal while announcing transfer of certain functions to another city Martin cites incometax rates as one factor in movements from Quebec to Ontario At or above an annual income of $17500 in 1978 combined federal and provincial taxes were higher in Quebec than in Ontario 157 per cent higher at income of $100000 The reasons most often cited are the economic logic of locating in Toronto the centre of the most important national ser vices and personal factors colored by real or imagined political instability uncertainty over the future of English in Quebec and the difficulty of attracting senior management to Montreal and keeping them there It seems clear that the election of socialist secessionist Quebec government under Rene Levesque in November 1976 has accelerated the decline of Montreals im portance in Canadas commercial life to the advantage of Toronto more than of any other city Toronto however would do well to ponder the underlying causes of this continuing movement which it doesnt seem to have done Just as Montreal has gone into decline largely because of political shortsightedness so Toronto could one day find itself losing ground to other Canadian cities Certainly the political leaders in the On tario government and even more so in the city of Toronto have shown that they can be so dogmatic and obtuse as their Quebec and Montreal counterparts generation or two from now an economist looking for the beginnings of Torontos fall from economic primacy may wellfind them in the fashionable nogrowth politics of the late 19705 As Prof Martin says head offices have very great mobility and moving them isnt necessarily expensive COMPOSING ROOM Jack KerneV foreman Glenn Kwan asst

Enormity of government chang has PCs burning midnight oil election campaign was promise to trim the public service by 60000j0bs and while this pledge has been blamed for the loss of two Ot tawaarea seats it clearly didnt hurt the Tories in the rest of Canada This promise was buttressed by statement from Con servative MP Dan McKenzie Winnipeg South Centre that all deputy ministers would be fired by at Clark government The backtracking on the McKenzie com mitment was virtual panic operation as Tory candidates serving publicservice areas tried desperately to salvage their support Clark himself was drawn into the dispute to discount any suggestions of mass firings of deputy ministers but he did say there would be some senior bureaucrats who wouldnt feel comfortable with Tory government He left the clear impression that changes would occur And there have been reports that Clarks people expect many deputies to submit resignations which could be accepted or rejected without fuss or fanfare But there are increasing indications that faced with the enormous complications of transferring power the incoming govern ment may be having some serious second thoughts about aggravating the senior public service And there is certainly no indication that any deputy ministers are going to offer to give up $60000ayear jobsjust for the sake of making life easier for the new government Even Michael Pitfield the close friend of Pierre Trudeau who is Clerk of the Privy Council has said he has no intention of quitting even though Clark denounced his appointment four years ago Pitfield the most influential bureaucrat in Ottawa is still viewed as the most likely casualty of Clark government but the change wont be im mediate At the moment Pitfield is burning the midnight oil as he briefs the incoming prime minister on his new responsibilities Michael Pitfield is complete professonal says Clark aide with sudden admiration His attitude is superb HIGH MOBILITY What has really shaken the officials around Clark and probably Clark himself is the enormity of the governmental transition process Books brochures and various study papers had been prepared and consultants had been hired for advice but all the in formati and viewpoints came from outside the administration The fact that nearly 100 people are employed in the prime ministers office indicates the complexity of that operation And to make matters more difficult there are no exprts on the transfer of power In fact we cant seem to find anyone who was involved in that 1957 transfer says an associate of Clark Nobody can remember what happened 22 years ago And in 1963 when the Liberals won again it wasnt transfer in the strict sense it was regarded as return to normalcy IOII UHPERHAP5 IT WOULD BE fiETTER T0 fling HIM 76 fig For all seasons Whos afraid of satellites By TRAYNOR MCFARLANE Can you put your head far enough back that it bumps against your spine as you walk At least can you bend it back until its exactly at rightangles to your body Then youre OK either way will suffice Now if you cant perform those feats you are in big trouble friend At the beginning of this July Operation Skyscan will be launched Got your skyscan ner yet Its simple device steel with leather pad ding which fastens around the upper chest and under the jaws just below the ears Its adjustable and couple of turns day on the thumbscrews will push the head back little farther each time It takes about month to get the head at rightangles to the body and the device must be worn day and night Its not as mysterious as it sounds EXPECTED TO PLUMMET Sometime in July the United States 80ton Skylab satellite is expected to plummet to earth Illbig and little chunks Just ex actly where nobody really knows Right now its descending on earth in everdecreasing orbits and will start its decay scientists jargon for breaking up very shortly The Skylab is only one of Iiundreds of doltish satellites whirling about out there and they will all decay some day Hence the skyscanncr People will be able to keep gazing at the sky and skip out of the way as the metal rain which will increase with every year descends on them Picture in all the

the deadly debris which threatens their very existence TERROR 0N FACE Terror will stamp every face as people in the streets keep bumping into one another and violence will come into focus especially in hospitals and institutions where fights will develop for that valuable space at the one window room In office buildings and fac tories employees will be working with their heads sticking out of any

at mine Interpreting the news Still problems with Rhodesia By JOHN WARD NEW YORK CP iffhe blackled government in ZimbabweRhodesia poses problems for the United States Britain and the British Commonwealth The government of Bishop Abel Muzorewa the new prime minister is in effect black white coalition The new 17membcr cabinet includes five whites among them Ian Smith the former prime minister The coalition is the product of deal negotiated by Smith and moderate black leaders last year Under the new con stitutional setup 28 seats of the looseat legislature are reserved for whites The white minority also wields con siderable clout in the cabinet controlling the ministries of agriculture finance justice and transport Muzorewa reserved the ministry of combined operations and defence which controls the war against black nationalist guerrillas to himself Smith is serving as minister without portfolio The government came 0st of series of elections held last month The voting was held up by Smith as demonstration that power is being peacefully turned over to the black majority after 88 years of white rule The election results however are under cloud Dabaningi Sithole Muzorewas principal political opponent in Zimbabwe Rhodesia has charged the voting was rigged His party won 12 seats but the members are boycotting the legislature and refused to take the two cabinet posts set aside for them Muzorcwa and Smith insist the elections were free and above board DISMISSED ELECTIONS Joshua Nkomo one of the black guerrilla leaders who has lvd the war against Smith for years has dismissed the elections and the new government as fraudulent Nkomo says Muzorewas government is really group of whites hiding behind black front men He and Robert Mugabe the other guerrilla leader have vowed to continue their war until real majority rule occurs Muzorewa is likely to push for elimination of the economic sanctions imposed when Rho desia first broke away from Britain The new prime minister will argue that majority rule is in place and the country deserves recognition
