his council to make this 135th anniversary year of Simcoe County administration memorable one Warden Allan Glassford certainly merits full backing As pointed out in these columns before the county ad ministration has been remarkably good when compared park Oppose tax on pop cans By DON OHEARN vsamm mmth to regional government Property taxes have been going up in Simcoe county municipalities with the inflationary trend but not to the extent of regional areas Since the county councillors rejected pressure from different spokesmen who tried to convince them they should change to regional administration decade or so ago and at various times later until the past three or four years the relatively good showing must be gratifying to those involved The chief argrument presented by regional govem ment spokesmen was that the change would reduce taxes by increasing efficiency and eliminating duplication But comparison with regional area statistics shows such contention was unduely optimistic Despite greater government assistance in grants which are paid for by Ontario taxpayers from other than property taxes regional government levies on properties have been higher As Warden Glassford might point out there is lesson to be learned from this The value of taking the time to thoroughly evaluate such proposals was certainly justified Oro deputy reeve Allan McLean was among those who have stressed the need for cautious care on each step before committing the county to further updating which could cause sharp increases in taxes In this inflationary era costs are higher but the grow ing need for all levels of government to cooperate in holding down taxes and checking rises in public debt should be obvious to all concerned about the future economic trend The experience of the past few years has made it clear that it is much easier for governments to keep piling up expenditures and public debt than cutting back Simcoe County administration has been largely an exception and today has the unusual record of no debenture After all the prime concern of Simcoc County and municipal administrators has to be the ratepayers whom they represent snmcoe yesteryear

IIARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Scrvicc Not even tho most implucziblc critic of the Russian Revolution will deny that thc most impressivc accomplishment of that event which began in 1917 was the development of science in the Soviet Union The beginnings of great scientific achievement of Russian scicncc were there in fits and starts undcr thc impurinl system There wcrc admiruls with

particularly when Ottawa now is willing to spcnd $35 million on oneday pain ty which follows on the heels of Qucbccs $13 million bash Last year you might recall the luly celebrations wcrc cancelled

French unity songs that were composed for the oc casion The English version had to be redone becausc it referred to the wrong number of fathers of confederation while the French version neglected to

Gcnerals annual garden party for children would be cancelled At that party hot dogs are the order of the day Well on July one Canadian company is donating 50000 pounds of hot dogs to thc

floats are being built right here in Ottawa in cluding the one with the 30foot plastic lob stcr Sonic cynics suggest there were fcdcrul fears that Quebecs Parti Quebecois govcrn ment might not coopcrnte if the provinces were asked to send their own floats And this would spoil the spirit of The Great Canadian Birthday Party You could tell this years bash was to be something really special when the initial news conference was held to announcc details Bernard stry normally cmploycd iii the museum business is running the wholc show and at that news conference he had bar food and band to fill in between questions Not bit like last year when the cancellation was announced on one sheet of paper Now if can just figure out way to get from the RCMP musical ride to the cake decorating

scientific progress greater after revolution marks the site of one of the citys best floating seafood restaurants My thoughts went this way because last fall enjoyed immensely frank and light hearted report on the Soviet northern sea route by the USSR naval attache in Ottawa during fine seafood lunch on board the same ship And today am across the dock from her talking with welding specialists from the USSR aixmt their success in shipbuilding method and pipeline technology The delegation included acadernician Khokhlov rector of Moscow State University and acting vicepresident of the Academy of

and let live lets ayoidanclcctionatanycost philosophy of the new house will probably have quick test One of the pieces of legislation remaining from the last house which the government has committed itself to reintroduce right away is the measure to put tax on pop cans ft is expccted this legislation will be back in the house quickly And with it all three parties will be on bit of spot 1200 JOBS Neither the New Democratic Party nor the Liberals agreed with the original bill which had as its main purpose the control of litter from cans The NDP at first publicly went for it But then after caucus eruption it changed its position The reason for the change was that there are some 1200 jobs involved in making cans If the tax cut down on the use of cans which it certainly would there would be sharp loss in these jobs So NDP policy became phasing out of all beverage cans over fiveyear period The Liberals took different tack They didnt disagree with the impost But they said it should be deposit instead of tax NOW NOW Now that they have to face it again all three parties are bit afraid of the legislation The big problem is that when they first fuccd it none gave enough consideration to the job aspect And with the need for jobs having been big factor in the election this is beginning to sink home The govcrnmcnt which is stuck through having committed itself before the election to reintroduce the bill has said it will again in troduce the some legislation But En vironment Minister George Kerr indicated thc government would be amenable to having it changed in the house The NDP is maintaining its last position which mcans it will have to vote against any thing that would immediately reduce jobs And the Liberals have been having second thoughts In the first instance not only did they not propcrly weigh the job angle but reaction has shown that their approach which would require storeakecpcrs to handle used cans would be impractical So how are the parties going to wriggle to position all three can agree on When we know this we should know better how this new minority house will be able to make its way without landing in an election Canadas story Doublecross over Quebec By BOB BOWMAN General James Wolfc landed at the Island of Orleans on June 26 1759 and by June 28 the battle to capture Quebec was getting hot This was literally true because the French tried to sct British ships on fire The crooked intendant Francois Bigot whose namc led to the use of the word bigot was instructed to buy eight ships and have them filled with pitch and other inflammable material Bigot bought the ships for 640000 livres but managed as usual to pocket great deal of the money even in Quebecs hour of need young man Captain Delouche volun teered to command the fire fleet but he did not havc the experience or as it turned out the courage The firc ships drifted down river toward the British fleet but Delouche lost his nerve and deserted The men of five other ships also went overboard but one captain remained and was burned to death The manoeuvre was useless in any case British sailors simply attached grappling hanks to the burning ships and towed them to shore giving loud cheers Montcalm and his officers watched the fiasco from vantage point near Beauport church and were disgusted Bigot had denuded the country of supplies He had bought crops at the lowest possible prices and stored them in warehouse to be sold to King Louis at the highest prices Food in Quebec was so scarce citizen wrote to friend in the country herewith send you 14 biscuits all that can spare
