of the Solicitor General shows that Bar rie residents paid less per capita for police in 1978 than tax payers in any other Ontario city Not only did we pay less but we did so by an appreciable margin Thus while Barrie taxpayers paid an average of $3958 for police the average across the province was $5020 We think thosc figures attest to the efficient job done by the Barrie police for our city Barrie residents however should be asking whether we are paying enough to police growing city of 35000 people Why is it for example that Belleville with population nearly the same as Barrie pays some 25 per cent more for police protection rime in Barrie as elsewhere is on the rise Yet we spend the least per capita in the province Are we being penny wise but pound foolish in our police budget allotment We remember Chief Sniders request for more police this year request that was turned down by the city Part of the reason given was that the city could not afford the extra cost Given the solicitor generals figurs that argument simply doesnt hold up The question now is whether Barrie wants police force that is the most economical in the province Or should we spend what other municipalities do and end up with that much better force Thats question for the people of Barrie to decideand fast barrie landmarks Q5lxlilfi 3i it tit 133 It Ana ler IA at Nfillgp huthim IliIElllhI

than ever before to the secure energy policy for the United States and less so for us is the view of the future shared by the SaudiArabians Following the most recent OPEC Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries meeting where SaudiArabia played the socalled role of the moderate the worlds largest oilproducing nation never theless was playing games of its own The Saudis oil spokesmen insisted the hike to $1800 for barrel of their crude up from $1250 year ago was less than the radical Arab states Libya and Iran demanded when they wanted an OPEC price of as high as $2300 barrel But the Saudi Arabian spokesman were courting the radicals in their part of the world and not the United States The reasons for this might appear obscure The last major conservative Islamic society in the Middle East is relating in terms of common oil price to regimes which would see the Saudi monarchy go the way of the Iranian one The main reason has to be concern for their nations security the same persuasion which caused the Saudi and former Iranian monarch to make common military cause against the extension of Russian influences in the region VERY OLI MONARCIIY In fact the Saudi monarchy deepset in history and from the desert past of the kingdoms which came together to form the modern SaudiArabian state privately held the Iranian Shah in contempt as an upstart Nor did they appreciate his selfindulgent lifestyle But now the threat to the Saudi future could come not only from the Iranian revolu tionaries but also from the growing ex tremism in the South Yemen the only self admitted Marxist state in the Arab world The Saudis too are worried not only about Soviet intrusion into the South Yemen but of Iranian revolutionary influences in the vast coastal Kingdom of Oman which fills the far north and east corner of the Arabian Peninsula All this might seem perverse and even vague to the Americans who recently offered the Saudi monarch permanent US military force on his soil to help prevent an Iranian style coup The Saudis refused not only because they do not feel their nation faces anything like the Iranian revolution but because too they are upset with Washington over the EgyptIsrael treaty At the same time SaudiArabia has agreed to supply the large sum which Egyptian President Sadat needs to buy the 50 F6 American jet fighters promised him by the United States last year That could be an amount of at least half billion dollars none of which the Sadat regime can raise from its immense deficit ridden budget This apparent Saudi foreign policy to placate friend foe and wouldbe foe all at once is what recent analysis of the Saudi position in The New York Times called their proven strategy of widening their op tions REDUCE CONSUMPTION The answer to the Saudis and the other major OPEC oil producers on which we in North America and Europe still rely so heavily is to find methods to radically reduce our consumption of oil This would surely turn the present sellers market into buyers one and give us in the West cards to use against Arab political game playing So far there is no sign we will find or use them write your mp 19 if you would like to write
