problem The problem with Dunlop Street East is not the minimall Nor IS the minimall any reason why business has dropped off in the area The reason for the business decline is the construction tak ing place on the street Merchants have right to be upset that they have lost busmess during the construction period Undoubtedly they will continue to lose some business until the road is completed But the mini mall is not to be blamed nor the people who tried to organize it If anything the mini mall has attracted interest and brought people downtown to have look If more merchants were partlc1patmg 1n the mall even more people would be at tracted What the merchants have right to complain about and what they are now asking is why the construction was ar ranged for the peak summer season The reopening of the street to partial traffic should help solve some of the problems for merchants on Dunlop Street East Greater participation in the mall and sense of cooperation by all merchants in the area would also help But the real solution will only come when the Dunlop reconstruction is completed Thats soggthigg the city shogld see toand quickly letters to With bewilderment and pro bably thousands of concerned parents and councillors have read the remarks of trustees Bill Straugham Barrie and John McCullough Midland insisting that nobody who hasnt read the over 2000 pages curriculum should criticize or censor the resolutions of the boards of education with regard to the human relations program Yet we vave to emphasize that trustees or boards of education honest informed and well meaning as they may be are fundamentally only laymen are human and are therefore open to errors and mis judgements Therefore under no cir cumstances should parents and citizens renounce their perpetual and continuous interest in educa tional problems even if they havent read this obviously oversiz ed 2000 pages curriculum We may even doubt whether all of the trustees themselves are intimitely informed in all details of this giant work When it comes now to the human relations program itself we must immediately point out that the name itself is misnomer chosen by the boards to calm and to pacify concerned parents It is by no means comprehensive human relation program but an attempt to teach the children the art of suc cessful pitfalls avoiding sexual con gress We all including the boards of education know only too well that human relations can by no means be Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service As soon as someone finds way to get around tax liability the tax collector finds way of closing the loophole Barter is one of the popular ways of minimizing taxes but National Revenue doesnt approve of such ingenuity taxation expert at the Bank of Nova Scotia McKie relates an apocryphal tale of barter in his article in the current issue of Canadian Banker lawyer draws up will for jeweler and submits his account for $1000 Forgive me for asking but ignoring your expenses how much of this fee do you get to keep after income tax the jeweler asks The lawyer replies that his top or we want your opinion Something

marriage parenthood love ethics compas sion tolerance and many many more To offer us classes in sexual activities under the disguise of human relations is an insult to the intelligence of all informed and upright citizens While the intentions of the boards of education are commendable the methods chosen are of rather doubt ful value Providing information about sex technics and pointing to the dangers involved does not necessarely lead to decrease in the main pitfalls of promiscuity namely unwanted pregnancies and venereal diseases Although not our legal it is evidently our moral responsibility to aid our children in their dilemma This of course is not merely school board responsibility but the concern of parents cocitizens businessmen service clubs chur ches and authorities Lets be realistic an idle aimless unguided young generation is wide open and vulnerable to all kinds of bad influences As long as we do not find ways to rectify this situation no human relations program nor any other similar at tempt will achieve the desired goal We must fill the void with multitude of chances for desirable activities and show them the way to better kind of living to goal of healthy spirit in healthy body Odo Waldstein Beeton The long arm of the tax man marginal tax rate is 60 per cent Therefore he would keep $400 after paying income tax on the $1000 The jewelers tax rate is 50 per cent so he calculates that he has to earn $2000 to meet the lawyers bill for $1000 Remember that this is only an illustration Most people dont pay such high rates of tax and most lawyers dont charge nearly hat much to prepare will The jeweler says that he has better idea Since the markup in his store is 100 per cent he invites the lawyer to select an item retailing for $1200 SORE LOSER The jeweler would buy the item at cdst price and make gift of it to the lawyer who would forget his legal fee This way you will get $1200 instead of $400 the jeweler tells the lawyer and will only be $600 out of pocket The tax collector is the loser sore loser however if the news of the transaction should reach the tax people Strictly speaking the lawyer is required to include $1200 the retail value of the jew elery in his professional gross income for tax purposes The jewelers tax position is more com plicated In the first place his payment to the lawyer is personal expense and therefore not deductible as business expense But how much did he pay $600 or $1200 asks McKie It is tax tenet that nobody is required to make taxable profit from himself The jeweler is not obliged to include in incdhe the profit he would normally have earned on the trinket On the other hand if he transfers the trinket at cost from his business to himself and then gives it to the lawyer to paye off debt isnt the difference tarrable And how about he value for provincial sales tax Parliament Hill By STEWART MacLEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Services There are times when Prime Minister Joe Clark appears refreshingly open and frank and there are other times when he seems to be performing verbal gymnastics to avoid that same open frankness Come to think of it Pierre Trudeau has always displayed similar bent Perhaps its inevitable in politics The worl today It By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service At time when the Roman Catholic Church must cope with the guerrilla priest in its midst the cleric who goes over to Marxist liberation movement the earlier Vatican concern about the worker priest was unfounded by comparison The worker priest who flourished mainly within the powerful and socialist or Commu nist tradeunion movements of the 19505 finally lost the support of the Vatican Or rather they lost the support of the right wing and authoritarian Pope Pius XII who felt that priests so close to Communist organizations would themselves become tainted To Pius X11 and the rigidly conservative Vatican bureaucrats he appointed Marxism and atheism were the twin evils with which the Church could not negotiate My how events have changed mercifully for all concerned or involved with the role of the church in social change Indeed where the worker priests of Western Europe were concerned the change came with the opening of Vatican 11 Pope John XXIII ended the previous ban on priests at work in the factories and trade un ions of Western Europe They have returned to role which today seems bland in com gison to that of the few priests who have ome active guerrillas Moreover the entire relationship between the Vatican and Marxist societies has changed radically following the visit of Pope John Paul II to his Polish homeland It is understandable then that the reigning pontiff also gives his personal support and prayers to the worker priests WHY SPEND BILLIONS TO iIlDE THE MX MISSILE IN UNDERGROUND RAILROADS qou PromiSed liittl wed conlinue To have losing impression in Quebec With Clark the contradiction is more obvious because he has made point of calling for more honest reliable relation ship between government and the people He has argued that the public has right to know what is going on in higher places that there must be much greater awareness of what goes into the decisionmaking process and that there should be much better rapport between Parliament and the people During the recent election campaign he spoke Worker priests Vatican concern They are now seen as working wrtnrn essential institutions of the working man in Europes industrial democracies bringing the laborer and the factory worker to Christ through personal example and persuasion pope like the late Pius XII who rarely moved out of his seminarians role as priest and pope could be expected to have strong reservations about priests so close to left wing movements But pope like John Paul II who did the unpredictable visit Communist state embrace Communist president and preach the faith throughout Communist state clearly views the worker priest as part of an enlightened churchs processes The concept and function of the worker priest which has flourished almost entirely in Western Europe finds its origins in the famous papal encyclicals of the renowned Pope Leo XIII on the relationship between the church and the growing industrial state Leo XIII like concerned lay leaders at the turn of this century waslappalled at the ex ploitation of man by man in the burgeoning factory societies of Western EurOpe The church clearly had role in reducing such exploitation as detrimental to mans purpose on earth and to his function as person of the spirit as well as of the flesh And yet the worker priests with their new encouragement from Vatican since 1965 have not made mass conversions from within the radical European trade unions in which they work But the worker priests would be the first to say this is not what they anticipated but rather to indicate by their personal example what is the Christian life and the spiritual alternative which it continues to offer SENATOR ans ltlt 4M VllM lt VIIx JUST lUT THEM ON AMTRAK AND NO ONE WILL KNOW frequently about the need to restore trust which he claimed had been seriously eroded by 11 years of Pierre Trudeau And just few days ago he told reporter this restoration of trust remained ne of his major preoccupations Government is suffering from very real skepticism on the part of the public and it limits our ability to deal with other problems he said When institutions dont command respect it makes it difficult for society to combine to reach goals NEVER EQUAL dont think there is much doubt about Clarks sincerity in this respect All things being equal think he would like to level with Canadians on every issue explain the pros and cons to everyone and reveal exactly how decision was reached But in politics things are never equal Take that Israeli embassy hassle as an example It was an obvious blunder to an nounce as Clark did during the campaign that Tory government would move the embassy froh Tel Aviv to Jerusalem While it may have appealed to some Jewish voters it enraged the Arabs The prime minister had no alternative but to backtrack If Clark had followed his normal instincts he probably would have told us that the pro posed embassy move was an illconceived blunder and it now wouldnt be carried out But under the pressures of practical politics you just cant do this Donning his gym suit the prime minister had to do handstands all around the issue appointing special study into CanadianArab relations repeating that the move remained basic policy but sug gesting it might not be implemented and per forming other verbal acrobatics that he would obviously criticize in other leaders Even in that recent interview during which he talked about the need to restore trust the prime minister had difficulty being totally candid with the embassy issue issue TONE TROUBLES He acknowledged it was mistake but he went on to say it happened because he hadnt chance to be briefed on all the nuances whatever that might mean It was mistake of tone from which am convinced we can recover to the good of the country Until Clark expands on that explanation am at loss to define mistake of tone 0n the recent trip to Tokyo where it is generally conceded the new prime minister performed admirably he managed to annoy large contingent of the press corps by mvrtmg in select youp of seven journalists for nonattributable briefing It was from this briefing that officials were quoted as saying the government would likely back away from its campaign promise to privatize PetroCanada WHERE THEYRE GONNA BE ltx From the legislature Cabinet shuffle guessing starts By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO When the summer doldrums hit Queens Park one of the favorite activities is predicting wholl be what in the next cabinet shuffle Premier William Davis likes to shift his people in late summer to give them time to learn their new portfolios before they have to face the House in the autumn The latest flurry of speculation was set off by an article in Toronto newspaper that said Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister Frank Drea wants to switch jobs Hed like new challenge now that revisions to rent control and landlordtenant relations have passed the legislature The suggestion was that hes being looked at for energy minister While only Davis knows for sure the whole scenario sounds highly unlikely AULDS POST First Drea vehemently denies hes been shopping around for new ministry He said he likes it where he is And believe him Its true of course that energy is open Jim Auld holds the post now but hes also in charge of natural resources which he apparently much prefers to head His appointment in energy was in the manner of rescue mission to get the ministry out of the line of fire of constant opposition criticism in the legislature Auld who some say invented the word smooth did just that to the point where energy while troubled did not appear as the flaming focal point it was in earlier sessions NEW MAN The logical candidate to replace Auld is George Ashe the former Pickering mayor who was made parliamentary assistant for energy earlier this year Apparently hes done competent job of mastering the material these past few months and in one sense is already de facto minister The other half of being minister is han dling the portfolio in the House and some say Ashe is too abrasive but that cant be predicted beforehand Its reasonable to assume Ashe will be appointed Energy minister in August and get his chance before the legislature in the fall OTHER SHIFTS Other than Auld one other minister has dual responsibility in cabinet that being Roy McMurtry who is both attorneygeneral and solicitorgeneral Hed doubtless like to shuck one of those or perhaps both and move to another portfolio In any case there should open space for one of the promising contenders in the wings like Bruce McCaffrey or Norm Sterling Other ministries that might see shifts of their current incumbents include en vironment Harry Parrott correctional services Gord Walker and community and social services Keith Norton But Davis makes the final decision which is why the guessing game is fun for the quiet times here but no more than that Interpreting the news Carter rating below Nixon By CATHY McKERCHER WASHINGTON CP President Carter has managed to perform what appears to be an almost incredible feat for likable man It seems he has made himself less popular than any president in the history of modern poll taking The latest ABC NewsHarris poll gives Carters performance as chief executive 73 percent negative rating lower than the lowest rating of former president Richard Nixon The rating means that almost three quarters of the 1496 adults surveyed in mid June believe Carters performance has been fair to poor Nixon in the days before he resigned in disgrace over the Watergate scan dal received 71percent negative rating How could the smiling Godfearing peanut farmer from Georgia have so little public support less even than president who was on the verge of impeachment when he finally resigned short bicycle trip around the US capital gives some pretty good clues bicycle is recommended because despite imposition of an oddeven gasoline sales plan regime under which cars with licence plates ending in an even number can buy gasoline only on evennumbered days of the month while oddnumbered cars fill up only on odd numbered days gasoline is still hard to get Lines sometimes stretch for blocks many stations have limits on the amount of gas they will sell and prices are soaring to around the $1 mark for US gallon which is fivesixths the size of Canadian gallon So far gasoline prices have been escalating at an annual rate of 55 per cent The recent oil price jump by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will push them up further FOOD PRICES UP stop at supermarket gives another clue The cost of market basket of food is 108 per cent higher than year ago Overall inflation was running at an annual rate of 134 per cent by the end of May bible thought The same was in the beginning with God All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made John 1223 And this is the one Jesus Christ that so many have elected to ignore Let us pray Oh Lord Jesus ackanowledge thee and adore thee Forgive me for my failure to recognize lyou as Gods Son and my Saviour Amen
