minister of communi ty and social services regarding the need for detoxification centre for the area Dear Mr Norton During recent survey of our con Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and onsuiiier Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The world oil cartel has demonstrated once again its remarkable elasticity its ability to stretch to accommodate both its hawks and its doves To that extent the Organization of Petroleum Exporting ountries tOPEC is unique among cartels which exist to establish prices and manipulate supplies in way that all members will uniformly adhere to In practical terms however the fact that the cartel adopted dual pricing system at its recent twoday Geneva meeting doesnt mean that theres significant rift among the members They are united by common warlike drive to inflict economic damage on the in dustrialized nations as punishment no doubt for having discovered and developed their oil for them in the first place And they differ only marginally in the extent of their greed setting monopolistic prices at several hundred times the cost of producing the oil and their inability to realize that in hurting their customers thev will be hurt themselves eventually PRICE STRATEGY Saudi Arabia biggest of the oil producers and its satellites are increasing the price of Saudi light crude oil which is the official lenchniark price to $18 LuS per barrel about $21

of our members saw the need for detoxification centre in this area When we surveyed the available facilities we became concerned because centre for exactly this purpose ceased to exist in the early part of 1979 due to lack of funds In 1978 504 patients were admitted to this facility With regret we see that this centre has ceased to exist and we would urge reconsideration of government priorities so that such facility could be reopened in the near future Thank you for your consideration Yours sincerely Mr John Bray Chairman ST Giles Outreach and Community Services Mr Lockie St Giles Peoples Warden The Ven Basil Tonks Archdeacon of Simcoe World oil cartel twists the knife Thats 237 per cent higher than the average price of $1455 that has been in force during the second quarter of this year Its 349 per cent increase over the average firstquarter price of $1334 jump of 417 per cent over the fourthquarter 1978 price of $1270 But even those prices astronomical as they may be arejust benchmark prices In the world marketplace the average priceduring the AprilJune quarter of this year is estimated by economist David Knapp lijf SChase Manhattan Bank to have been $1652 When imported into the US the average cost per barrel of Saudi light in the quarter just ended has been $1737 Knapp thinks that by the final quarter of 1979 the yeartoyear rate of price increase could be roughly 60 per cent or possibly even greater Remember that these are the increases being imposed by Saudi Arabia the leading dove The cartels hawks have made Iranian light crude their benchmark and fixed its price at $22 US for the next three months DIFFERENTIALS The value of the product yield of barrel of crude Oil depends upon its density and sulphur content Chase Manhattans Knapp explains The lighter the crude and the lower the sulphur content the higher the yield of barrel Lighter grades are used for making gasoline However price differentials among oils of different gravity and different sulphur content were being eroded in recent glut in the oil market And hawkish Iraq had been piling on surcharges that had nothing to do with either quality or transportation costs An optimist looking at the outcome of the OPEC meeting in Geneva might say that oil prices will at least be more stable now Buta pessimist would note that any such stability is being attained at the cost of sharp increase in price If even the in dustrialized nations are likely to be plunged Into recession as result the harm that will be done to the economies of the socalled developing nations is almost unthinkable Nor in all likelih00d has the world seen the end of oilrelated political blackmail The prime example of that currentlv is the threat by OPEC member Nigeria which accounts for more than 17 per cent of US oil imports to stop selling oil to the US if that country lifts its trade embargo against Rhodesia whOse new blackdominated government is too democratic for Nigerias rulers BUSINESS 72676537 EDIIORS Craig

for its new role in opposition and ponders its longterm prospects under the leadership of Pierre Trudeau the man to watch will be JeanLac Pepin Next to Trudeau he will be most influential member of caucus in the coming months not because he outranks such stalwarts as Allan MacEachen Jean Chretien or Robert By JOHN HARBRON Foreign AffairsAnalyst Thomson News Service The great multiisland nation of Indonesia like Japan an archipelago in Asia has had totally different history than Japan since the end of World War Two Where Japan went from the devastating ruins of World War Two including those produced by two atomic bombs to become one of the worlds great industrial nations Indonesia sank into economic and political chaos Where Japan borrowed heavily from Americanstyle democracy during the 19505 and 19605 to emerge as an industrial democracy herself Indonesia was ruled by the charismatic and corrupt President Sokarno His demise in the late 19605 brought on an attempted Communist coup to take over the vast South East Asian state put down with ruthless style by the army In the mid19705 the country was shaken with massive scandal centring around the nations large and growing state oil cor poration called Pertamina With overextended operations into major nonoil and gas industries and contracts abroad for fleet of supertankers much of it to be paid for with foreign loans Pertamina Andras but because he is rejoining the battered party as respected refreshed outsider owing political debts to no one He has openly but discreetly disagreed with Trudeau on number of issues Furthermore he has taken somewhat unLiberal ap preach by suggesting in public that the party leader must shape up or ship out Whenever the party does change leaders you can bet that JeanLuc Pepin will be right up there in the front row if not on the podium Great island nation gambles for success almost bankrupted Indonesia herself AN END TO DECLINE But now there is much light at the end of the tunnel since the army in command of the country its economy and major state agencies has returned efficiency and built up healthy foreign exchange reserves As result of this the military leaders announced Five Year Plan last April lst for the period 19791984 They gamble for success on increased foreign investment in the country as well as its ability to diversify out of oil as the primary source of income major part of the Five Year Plan called Repelita will be the states own decision to reduce its role in industry from 53 per cent to about 40 per cent Ahead of the Five Year Plan the military governments economists had severely devalued the rupiah by 34 per cent which caused sudden increase in the rate of in flation But where devaluation resulted in rate of about 35 per cent inflation thats matter of less concern in country where the inflation rate was well above 500 per cent in the mid 19705 Nevertheless Indonesia with the same population size as Japan about 100 millions has major housing and overpopulation problems which have to be met in Repelita Raising maggots messy JAFFRAY BC iCPi Theres nothin glamorous about raising maggots Maybe thats why Lloyd Augustine quit Now he just sells them Maggots make great fish bait especially for whitefish and sometimes trout Those squirming masses of white translucent larvae normally associated with foul gar bage and dead animals can provide bounty of fish and windfall profit but yields SCOOPS LOOKING AROUND THI5 PLACE ERINGS BACK 50 MANY MEMORIES PAT ood profits Admittedly threading maggot on hook isnt an appealing experience but after youve made it through your initial hooking the rest comes easy Well at least easier Augustine owner of Lloyds Bait and Tackle in this southeastern British Columbia community has cornered good portion of the Western Canadian maggot markni He once raised them on the waste meat from rabbits he also raised THE 68 CAMFAIGN THE ELECTION THE CHINA VISIT yr on Liberal opposition bench The longtime university professor now is 54 and an enthusiastic MP for the sprawling riding of OttawaCarleton seat he sur prisingly wrested away from popular Tory Jean Piggott while most other Liberals in the area were being clobbered After being out of politics since 1972 the ebullient Pepin was given little chance of taking the seat once held by former finance minister John Turner Party officials had suggested he could be fixed up with an easier riding N0 HELP But Pepin didnt want any help or any debts enjoy good challenge he said If can win the seat it will be by my own hard work It was too But it is significant that he was able to regroup the 01d Turner organization which had fallen into disarray after the former finance minister suddenly quit the cabinet in September 1975 Since Pepin tends to be so discreet about such matters he is not about to say what he thinks about Turner as possible future leader nor is Turner about to say what he thinks of Pepin But the two men are friends and have been since Pepin was in the PearsonTrudeau cabinets from 1965 to 1972 Since 1972 Pepin has kept Iiimself busy as chairman of the AntiInflation Board and co chairman of the Task Force on National Unity In helping to prepare the task forces report Pepin suggested that language rights be left to the provinces recommendation that sharply disagrees with the views of Trudeau Considering the import of the current constitutional debate this represents rather fundamental difference If Pepin were just another new MP his disagreemwnt with Trudeau wouldnt matter too much But when it comes to the constitution and national unity his credentials rival Trudeaus Furthermore he is viewed as lesspartisan EXPECTS RESULTS dont think Pepin is the type of person to cause any unnecessary problems for Trudeau the two men get along just fine but its obvious he expects sterling performance from his leader He does not have the blind loyalty of someone who has been following leader in the political trenches for the last seven years Pepin was quite candid about the leader ship issue in television interview The prime minister and the party have to be very aggressive very dynamic In some ways Mr Trudeau has to do better than what Mr Clark has done it these areas that is to reorganize the party and all the structures and so on tremendous job and very im portant job He went on to say that the Liberal leader has to demonstrate that to is able willing eager to fight the battles that the party says need to be fought If he performs well and have no reason to believe that he wont hell deserve support Pepin wouldnt even discuss the possibility of Trudeau not performing well but he did throw in this key comment know one thing about these jobs that they are given condi tionally and theyre held conditionally in the sense that nobody has the Godgiven right to be the leader of any party in Canada And that coming from Pepin is about the clearest warning that Trudeau is likely to get he sets out on new career as opposition leader Well be carefully monitoring progress reports from the powerful Pepin DSn THE BREAK IN THE COVER UR THE TAPES Tho barrio homith ll member ot the Comdlon

in 1873 on glorious sportsfilled Dominion Day Eight oroughbred horses started in the race for 50 guineas supplied by Her Majesty Queen Victoria Roddy Pringlc of Cobourg owner Mignonette was winner by narrow margin Fred Grant Barrie native who was printing compositor by trade informed The Examiner well remember as fiveyear old boy being guided by my horseracing father away up to small round building on top of one of the two grandstands and overlooking big closelypacked crowd stan ding in front of those buildings That building which seemed halfway to Heaven to this ex cited kid was the official judges or direc tors stand My dad was one of the original organizers of the Barrie track in the 1860s The property was west of Anne St bounded by Brock St on the south Dunlop on the north and is occupied now by Barrie industries in cluding the GeneralMansfield Rubber Co West Bend Imperial Eastman etc Highway 400 at extreme west was not even dream in 1873 NATHANIEL DYMENT few years later Nathaniel Dyment pro minent barrie lumberman took over the pro perty as training ground for his horses After that the late William Wright the northern mining prospector Wright Hargreaves Lakeshore at Kirkland Lake who while still resident of Barrie built the Toronto Globe and Mail acquired the proper ty Mr Dyment and his family named it Brookdale Stables and Mr Wright continued that name The Queens Plate became the Kings Plate in 1902 when Edward VII became His Majesty on death of his mother Queen Victoria The old Woodbine on Queen St East in Toronto was now the site of Canadas heritage horse race On May 23 the two titans of the turf in Ontario Joseph Seagram and William Hendrie played moteworthy roles in the first of all Kings Plates The name Seagram has been prominent in Barrie for many years at least 50 to my knowledge Ask the legal pro fession The Nathaniel Dyment stable won the Kings Plate in both 1903 and 1904 with horses bred and raised right here in Barrie Thessalon and Sapper Thessalons time of 2152 did not threaten the Plate record of 13 flat set in 1897 by Ferdinand The Examiner wrote in 1912 Since the years 190304 when the Dyment Stables won the Kings Plate there has not been so much excitement and small wagering on the big feature event of the Woodbine races as when Heresy owned by Messrs Albert and Simon Dyment sons of Nathaniel Dyment won the Plate in 1912 the 53rd year of the Historic Race of Canada To the very heart of the Empire to every part of the United States and Canada the news was flashed of the plucky little brown colts meteoric dash around the Woodbine track followed by the presentation of the Plate by HRH the Duke of Connaught It was proud day for Brookdale for the dyments and for every citizen of Barrie The double cross of Bonnie Scotland in his dam and the excellence Of his blood on the sires side combined to give him the qualities required in winner The coming of Royal Prince first time in the annals of Woodbine racing gave special charm and no keener sportsman among those present followed the succession of events than His Royal Highness It was Herendesys year in 1921 big colt from Dyments Brookdale Stables which won the Kings Plate At Woodbine on May 21 25000 crowd gathered at the Woodbine He romped in at 210 well off the Plate record but no reflection on the Barriebred homes true speed WILIAM WRIGHT Spey Crest from the stables of Barries William Wright ran third in the 1932 Kings Plate classic But Mr Wrights most famous horse bred in Barrie was Archworth who won the Plate in 1939 On May 22 King George VI fifth ruler in the Plates long history made presentation to George Mc Cullagh The Queen standing smiling bestde the King softly added Your horse is real champion He was never extended Trent Frayne wrote in his marvellous book The Queens Plate that Ontario Premier Mitchell Hepburn informed His Majesty the supple chestnut was Archworth bred in Bar rie Archworth was clearly the best this chill grey day leading from barrie to wire and winning by at least 10 lengths and never ob viously being extended as jockey Birley Vir tually paraded for his King Since 1956 the Plate has been raced at the New Woodbine track But the fact is it was held in Barrie in 1873 and five winners have been bred in Barrie Interpreting the news UN to tackle refugee issue UNITED NATIONS CP The UN is planning to tackle the growing problem of Southeast Asian refugees with major meeting in Geneva next month but the en terprise is bound to be difficult The swelling tide of homeless persons fleeing from Vietnam Cambodia and Laos has reached crisis proportions and is putting intolerable strain on such host countries as Malaysia Thailand and Indonesia Hong Kong is also heavily taxed by the refugees and diplomats here say the British are pushing hard for greater international efforts to solve the problem Diplomats here say as many as 70 countries may send representatives to the Geneva meeting It will not be formal conference but rather series of consultations among governments
