publis on July it is int wimp never possible to describe Confederation QCW Catfish until taxes cut The need for change in government economic policy to overcome steadily increased spending of taxpayers money is long past due and reasons are becoming more obvious But many will question the suggested remedy of Pro gressive Conservative financial critic Sinclair Stevens in proposing the dropping of wage and price controls Instead priority should be given genuine restraint in government spending policies at all levels start at the federal administration would be good example to Dav 1867 So perhaps readers will not object if June 30 is preempted this time for July It is difficult to realize now that Con others Stevens argued controls have inhibited economic growth because the program is deterring the formation of investment Capital and creation of jobs But steadily growing government spending which has more than tripled in less than decade has increased costs for business and industry as well as made record high taxation for Canadians to bear and shot the cost of living index up to record levels The mounting public debt from deficit budget financ ing during the past five years has added greatly to the tax burdens and unless changed could bring economic disaster The sagging of the Canadian dollar should bring this lesson home Along with cutting down on the high cost of increasing government bureaucracy which Gus Mitges MP pointed out has reached record levels there should be genuine effort to improve productivity Tarrif protection along with lower taxes could help to encourage Canadian production and jobs in Canada for goods now being imported Canadian shoppers could help the cause by insisting on buying Canadianmade goods rather than foreign mer chandise which could be produced here Canadians owe it to themselves and each other to back government steps to aid recovery and give Canada its deserved place on the world economic scene for country rich in natural resources diown memory lane 20 YEARS AGO IN BARRIE From The Examiner June 30 1957 At meeting presided over by Mayor Willard Kinzie the municipal council approved recommendation of its

defeated Cookstown to in South Simcoe League baseball game In other YOU business Ry VINCENT EGAN Business and onsumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Every Canadian homoowner is painfully aware of the high cost of heating house Anything that lightens that burden is welcome even the new federal scheme for homeinsulation grants which might have been designed by Rube Goldberg Still one has to wonder at the ways of our unenergctic energy minister Alastair Gillespie and his staff Choosing the hottest day of the year to talk about more heat Gillespie invited selected oup of favored reporters to news con erencc at which he outlined complex system of insulation grants to be offered to property owners in eight of the provinces Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island homeowners are already eligible for gants in greater amounts As New Democratic Par ty energy critic Douglas observed those two provinces have Liberal governments The new Gillespie plan is burcaucrats delight The grant may be $70 or $150 or $200 or $350 It will be subject to income tax thus reducing its face value by anything up to fiveeighths And it will initially be limited to pro1921 houses in some parts of the country and to pro 1941 houses in others Thats not all The grant is to cover only twothirds of the cost of insulation matcrials And the program is contingent upon agreement by the provinces to impose cnergyconscrvation rulcs devised by Gillespie and his bureaucrats POINTS TO CHECK Theres no denying that most houses waste good deal of heat and that better insulation would help reduce that loss In the typical house these would be the places to check on the quality of existing in sulation Edges of windows and doors should be games Ivy blanked Everett to and Lisle downed Stroud 12 to Bob

putty in the cracks If it has deteriorated or is missing altogether caulking probably ought to be applied at any point where two different materials or parts of the house come together Also examine the edges of windows and doors to see the condition of the weath erstripping those strips of metal vinyl or foam rubber Replacement if necessary is comparatively simple task but special at tention to safety is necessary when working on secondstorey windows Thc attic should be checked carefully to see if the insulation has deteriorated seriously Theres wide variety of insulating materials and techniques and the risks are considerable the cciling probably wasnt designed to support the weight of an adult and roofing nails could protrude through roof sheathing For this job consider the ad vantages of hiring an insulation contractor The Gillespie program deals only with in sulation and perhaps the best thing that can be said about itflin Ottawas view is that it will provide more Ijobs for papershuffling bureaucrats who wil process applications for the grants Although an estimated $190 million will be spent on the program during the next two fiscal years thats just fraction of the dollar windfall Ottawa is reaping through the big semiannual crudeoil pice increases that it imposes on consumers And for suppliers and contractors in the in solution business the outlook for sales and profits has never been better As always however the government con tinues to ignore the possibility of positive approach to energy No real production in centivcs are provided either on the broad scale of encouraging frontier exploration or at the level of fostering the development of auxiliar sources of energy from the sun the tides or WIlld for instance hill Parliament By STEWART MacLEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Scrvicc The other day in discussing my dilemma over deciding how could best play my part in celebrating The Great Canadian Birthday Party coniinittcd thc common error of con ccntrat ing only on Ottawa This city of course will be the centrepiece of thc action simply bccansc its thc scat of govcrnmcnt and Parliament Hill is casily transformed into thc rcquircd fairground And furthcrmorc ihc cakodccorating con tcsi is going to be held hcrc My problem as cxplziincd was how to take in all thc cventsri many of them going on simultaiicouslyrwhilc also watching thc festivities from othcr Canadian contrcs on television You see when our govcrnmcnt spends $35 million on giant birthday blowoutfiand just one year after it decided it couldnt af ford any partwe do have some obligation to enjoy it Thats what taxes are all about Anyway as was saying when lhc list of events was published immediately went in to tizzy because realized couldnt bcgin to see all the great Canadian events that are planned for this city Thats why wish had made plans to visit another town For instance have just bccn reading that Miami Man is going to celebrate Canadas birthday with mule racc Just think how The world today By JOIIN HARHRON Forcign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The cynicism about president Jimmy Tait ters elevation of human rights to forcign policy directive was expected if not some of the congressional opposition to thc fact that the president is pushing too hard And bear in mind this is an administration in which both houses of Congress the Senatc and the House of Representatives are dominated by the same party as that of the president in office the Democratic Party President Carter looks as though he is sustaining both criticisms though the latter was somewhat unexpected And we should hope Carter will continue to remain firm in his human rights campaign So far it has crossed many of the traditional ideological military and economic ties and al liances that the United States has maintained with world powers These include powers of both the authoritarian right and left as well as with some democratic friends who wore not sup posed to be violating human rights The most shocking and recent example was the revelation of longterm torture methods by the Israelis against Arab leaders and PLO simple it would be to go there and con centrate on only one event NO RLSIIING If were in Miami wouldnt have to rush across the city as will here to catch glim pse of Juliette or some other famous television personality And perhaps could watch the cake dccorating contest on television Because have been so preoccupied with watching all those great Canadian per formch rehearse their routines on Parliament Hill during the last week it sim ply never occurrcd to me to look at whats happcning in other towns and cities My Canadian patriotism has been so moved by all those Scottish bagpipcrs Ukrainian dancers and lyrolian yodellersall who will follow the parade featuring styrofoam bir thday cakcthat its difficult to concentrate on lessor events But again just think how much easier it would be to get away from these overlapping attractions and go to say Courtenay BC whcrc that town will celebrate Canada Day by twinning itself with Ravinj Yugoslavia might miss the 600000 hot dogs that will be handed out frcc in Ottawa but that would be small price to pay to witness twinning ceremony While would hate to miss that ltifoot plastic lobster the federal government has built for maritime float it would really be nice to take in that Bavarian dance they are supporters picked up in the Israelioccupied Wcst bank of the Jordan The new Likud government in Tel Aviv has already vigorously denied same But more Arab leaders who have claimed unlawful Israeli detainmcnt no trial before imprisonment and torture have revealed thcmsclvcs and named names But it is in the old familiar places where human rights are grossly violated the USSR and South Africa at the most ex tremc ends of the ideological spectrum against which the Carter administration is practicing its tough new policy You can tell this from the almost complete slowdown in the talks on detente between the Soviet Union and the Americans with no other reason given for it And you can tell it too in the total bewilderment of South African Foreign Minister Botha when he said on American television last week that American foreign policy on that countrys racial problems clcarly reflects their own difficulties with race relations in the US Its probably true though the White House will never admit it per so To get someone who will we move over to the big headquarters of the United States Arc coltsts estgt6 out QUEBEC SUMMER mamaww raw in gt4 mum Lewd vAr 39 AMA planning for CapChat Que Oddly Ive never seen Bavarian dance in CapChat Que FLAVOR SEARCH The trick on July is to catch the real Canadian flavor and the more read of thc crossCanada events the more confusing it becomes For pure Canadiana its obviously difficult to beat thc RCMP musical ride here but thats fairly routine pcrformancc in Ot tawa For July there should be something special Sarnia looks like great bct whcrc they will have Scottish German Chippewa and Filipino dancing But of all the attractions have read about nothing fascinates me more than the plans of the crewmcmbcrs of the schooner Blucnose II to mark July by trading tobacco and clay pipes for Micmac Indian gifts Its particularly fascinating bccause this is recnactment of something that was never enacted in the first place Another project that catches my fancy is the July lst program of thc Rcstaurant Association of Saskatoont0 try and on courage patrons to eat Canadian food It raises questions about what patrons are encouraged to eat on other days And speaking about eating am really toying with the idea of going to Flin Flon Man for the holiday There there is going to bc fish fry at Phantom inkc backed by an 80voicc choir Carter is remaining firm on human rights program Missionto the United Nations in New York where Andrew Young the stillnew US ain bassador to the UN has become the tooloud spokesman for the Carter human rights program In Latin America with such rightwing regimes as those of Brazil Ecuador and Chile the kind traditionally close to at least the American military and Republican ad ministrations Washingtons relations arc un expectedly cool The Brazilians as noted in an earlier column have broken off the 2yearold US Brazilian military pact sort of northsouth axis of military power which was originally formed between the two big nations because of mutual defence needs during the Second World War And only the possibility that American pressure in the big international banks on which he relies for needed loans has forced Chiles military President Augusto Pinochet to make meaningful changes in his harsh regime and in the appalling violation of human rights This human rights thrust of Jimmy Carter is impressive and one hopes he will not weaken in pursuing it Its initial salutary results are beginning to take effect fcdcration Day 1867 involved only Ontario and Quebec smaller than they now arc and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Hudsons Bay Co owned the northern parts of Ontario Quebec and the prairies British Columbia Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland were British colonies The population of Canada in 1867 was about 3300000 of whom 80 per cent lived in Ontario and Quebec Nevertheless on per capital basis the people in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were the wealthiest in the Dominion Their fleet of merchant ships was the fourth largcst in the world The settlement of Ontario did not stretch much farther west than Samia On the stroke of midnight June 30 church bells began to ring and artillery units fired lotgun salutes lhcy heralded day of flags bunting picnics and outdoor sports At night many cities towns and villages were lit with Chinese lanterns Thcrc wcrc fireworks displays This was especially true of Ontario and Quebec The people of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were not as festive Some buildings in Halifax and Saint John were draped with crapc Ottawa was the focal point as the first government of the Dominion of Canada was sworn in by GovGen Lord Monck John Macdonald received knighthood but was an noycd because Lord Monck wore business suit rather than fulldress uniform Mac donald loved pomp and ceremony Cartier Gait Tilley Tuppcr McDougall and Howland were made Companions of the Bath an inferior honor to Macdonalds award Cartier and Galt were incensed and refused the decorations They were made baronets later So the Dominion of Canada conceived during the circus music of Charlottetown in 1864 was born in Ottawa on July 1867 The list of other July events would take almost an entirc column to publish Here are just few highlights iitzivFirst meeting of Assembly of Island of St John PEI 186077 Canada

inflation and teachers salaries As well Finance Minister William Doody has asked school boards to use school tax authorities to supplement the $243 million they will receive in grants TEACHERS DECLINE The financial strictures come at time when school enrolment is levelling off and with about 7800 teachers the province is overstocked with instructors Education Minister House roccntly noted that more than 500 teachers cannot find jobs and are drawing unemployment insurance Under the circumstances he said there probably would be no tcachcr shortage for few years But Dr Leslie Ilairis dean of education at Memorial University suggested that beyond twotothrecycar period there could be shortage Harris noted the number of young people entering the teaching profession is declining and there could be teacher shortage in few years In five years we am going to be feeling the effects of low enrolment in education at Memorial during the last few ycars He said the annual attrition rate for teachers in New foundland is about 300 to 400 annually through retirement death or departures from the profession bible thought Whereas yc know not what shall be all the morrow For what is your life
