done about the unpleasant little things Aid Ernie Rotman who apprently has better grip on the pulse of Barrie than his fellow aldermen Monday asked the city to look at exterminating the pests in city parks He was greeted as most pioneers are with levity Aid Janice Laking asked if something could be done about uirrels Aid ordon Mills had rabbitcontrol program in mind and so ested wire mesh fence as the answer only no don because he feared voter backlash from any suggestion of municipally sponsored rabbit birth control program Mayor Ross Archer man not given to levity found the idea too amusing to pass by and wondered out loud if Aid Rotman was really worried about substandard ac comodation in city parks from whence the creatures come for groundhogs Council voted to do nothing about the groundhogs or the squirrels or the rabbits grave mistake in our view There is obviously very serious problem in Barrie Hardworking gardenrs are seeing their plots destroyed by pests They the gardeners not the pests are upset enough about the situation to approach council And council laughs Council has several choices in this situation Set up groundhog reserve which with proper management might become major tourist attraction See Barries groundhog reserve Pass motion to attack the problem at its root Sun nidale Park and pave over the park for use as park ing lot badly needed in Barrie or an arts centre Form committee to study the problem find out what other municipalities do in the same situation and make recommendations on groundhog day to council Petition the OMB for hearing on the groundhog problem inviting submissions from the Friends of the Groundhogs Ignore the whole thing Sexist Dear Sir Please allow me to make few comments re your editorial entitled Garbage Cans are they sexist of July If your grandmother mother dughter wife or any female ac uainlance was personally insulted you woui no doubt be moved to de fend her However if they and everyone elses mother etc are insulted as people but the insult is done collectively you do not leap to their defence In fact you join the ranks of those insen sitive individuals and the Ontario govem ments Environment Ministry who so callous ly and blatantly equate their mother etc as in fact not doing this only underlines the fact that you do not comprehend the basic facts of the struggle facing women in maledo minated society Your comments regarding Lynne Gordons stand in this matter support my contention She is not saying that the symbol of women on garbage can should be replaced by male figure She is protesting the deeper ychoiogical significance of the sickness in renl in society that would allow this kind of defamation of character of human beings male or female Would you and the government have allow ed any other but white woman on Ontarios garbage cans Obviously not since this would be racial discrimination But to you and the Government sexual discrimination is permissible since it is aimed at all women of every race and color which by your stan dards does not constitute discrimination At time when efforts are being made to discourage discrimination and humiliation how is it possible that our government and media people can sup rt the humiliation of half the population osc only fault is to be simply women BEYOND THEM When the Manitoba government embarked upon program to clean up garbage it ap pealed to the spaceage notion of putting or trash into orbit being round capsulelike garbage can Is it beyond the capabilities of the Ontario govemment to devise something similar or must only peo ple be filled with garbage From your editorial it is obviom that you are unaware of the strong influences of imagebuilding to which this kind of cam paign can lead Your influences in our society which por tray women as fluff headed little things Now you are rcsponsi le for encouraging the idea that women are to be associated with garbage NOT SURPRISING Your attitude is not surprising since perusal of the heading of your editorial page speaks for itself with respect to your position on the status of women That heading in forms the readers that your newspaper subscribes to the notion of maledominaled businesses that women cannot perform top management duties and that they should be concentrated injob ghettoes 0f the 37 positions listed including the publishers 10 of 19 male employees hold special titles in managemenl compared to twu out of 19 women employees or rougly 55 per cent and to per cent respectively or 27 per cent andSper cent respectively ofthelotal This is hard equal resentation by any standard Fun examination reveals that the publisher mangng editor wire editor city editor sports itor county editor and photographer are all male You are thus indicating that the female members of your staff are incapable of handl ing these responsible posts Have they ever been given the opportunity to fill them Ttie letters to the editor other Barrie newspaper flourishes under woman editor Under the title of Newsroom Advertising Classified Business and Cir culation it is noted that the male positions bear the prestigious name of Manager whereas the top positions held by women managers have the connotation of lesser importancewith titles of supervisor and accountant rather than manager and business manager respectively Why the discrimination In your Circulation Department two out of the three males employed hold responsible management positions whereas the four females occupy subordinate posts Also why are only women employed in the Classified and Business Departments As general rule Ontario businesses can avoid com pliance with the Employment Standards Act concentrating women in jobs where there are no male employees and where therefore women cannot compare the money they make with that paid to males This means that the employers can perpetuate low wages for womenintensive occupations What is the Examiners posit ion with regard to this prac tice Since not all employees in Advertising are men how can you justify the heading salesmen NO ATTEMPT present this analysis to emphasize that you have chosen the facile method of rejec ting the full import of Lyme Gordons statements rather than attempting to understand her concern fiom the evidence displayed by your news per it is obvious that the business worl is no more sympathetic to womens struggle for equality than is any other sector or institution in our social structure To have women caricatured on garbage cans is not only degrading but helps to en courage and reinforce the ridicule and un complimentary opinions already permeating society at the expense of women am disappointed that your editorial shows so little insight into the real problems facing women To help you gain this insight may suggest as first step that you read Women in Business subtitled Shocking Waste of Human Resources by Bennett and Loewe eminent male business consultants if nothing else their sex credentials will doubtless be acceptable to you Yours truly Mrs Margaret Arthur 14 Marion Cr Barrie Thanks from AA Dear Sir We have read your article of April 19 1977 entitled Alcoholic Not Say Most

Knowles ramblings By BILL KNOWLES Thirtynine years ago the Nazi armed forces began their march into Poland and the Second World War began While the tactics of blitzkrieg were fine tumed on the tiny and almost helpless coun try and its peo le and the Stuka divc bombers perfecte the means of targeting the bombs through their bansheescreaming div ing attacks few brave men did what they could loslow down the incvi table destruction Flying the Polish Air Forces hopelessly outnumbered gullwing PZLL radial engined fighters built in 1936 these pilots of LWOW and similar squadrons managed to harass the Nazis on the ground and in the air until one by one they themselves were destroyed by the overwhelming enemy forces and Poland was smothered But there were those that could not abide an existence under the nazi tyranny and few tattered men and aircraft escaped to France to join with the French fighting forces Already blooded in their own country these few Polish Aces in Group and others helped teach and helped fight in the battle of France Despite the knowledge that they would be agnin overrun by the massive Nazi war machine that was moving into France they fought and died until there was no more gasoline to run their engines bullets to fire from their guns or pilots to fly the planes NOT THE ENI But this was not to be the end for the Free Caveat emptor By LEONARD NOBLE am always amazed to read that historical events are quite different in retrospect than what ithought they were at the time For example always thought that the late American President Johnson and our late Prime Minister Mikc Pearson were on friendly terms with each other After all Pearson had been honored with the Nobel Peace Pri zc Johnson represented Country that was the touchstone of democracy There was always the plot urc in my mind of the two of them communicating with each other on the phone from time to time with mutual respect and admiration that the one would have for the other Hello Lyndon Mike here the Prime Minister would say Mike you olc cotton pickin sonofagun the president would reply With tht twangy Texas drawl of his Just thought ld call up to say hello Lyn donHand make sure everything was fine with you Damn nice of you Mike the president would reply Were having little trouble with the Commies in Vietnam but the whole thing wont amount to hillubeans Glad tohear it Lyndon drop in and see us soon the wife sends her best regards to you andthe missus You bet youre darn tootin life Ill be in to see you Mike The same invitation is there for you too So long you ol raskel fonsh airmen and those few who survived who managed to escape the capture of Paris and at the last moment made their way to England the last remaining stronghold against Hilters blight that would eventually conquer all of Europe Unable to speak more than few necessary words of English these dcadly Polish pilots brought their experience to their British allies in the skies and the resulting slaughter of the German air forces is recorded in history and has become legend The commanding British forces attempted to instill some discipline into their Polish comaradcs while at the same time trying to learn from their considerable battle cx periencc but they soon learned that discipline was the more difficult task The Polish Airmen appeared to have one concern only and that was fighting the enemy and anything else was at best secondary GIVEN FREE REIN Finally it is said the Brits threw up their hands and gave the Polish pilots free rein and the enemy losses mountcd However by the end of the war Polish losses were some of the highest on record but so were their victories One of the best known Polish aces was Jan Zurakowski who was later to become Canadas most famed test pilot during the Avro Anow and the CF100 programs Zurakowski and his friends it is said taught the Royal Air Force how to shoot during WWII Medals and honors were hcaped on our Time will tell the whole tale Goodbye Lyndon the prime minister would conclude the conversation In fact it wasnt that way at all Certain of the late US Presidents papers have recent ly been declassified and it becomes quite clear that President Johnson was quite vexed with the prime minister for speech that he made on is receiving the Temple University World Peace Award in Philadelphia in 1965 in that address Pearson was of the inion that the United States should stop the mb ing in Vietnam as positive means of de malating that war President Johnson was most annoyed at Pearsons comments about American bomb ing in Vietnam and treated the Prime Minister very coolly from that time onward What will the documents reveal in due course between the relationship of Prime Minister Trudeau and President Carter At the present time to all intents and purposes it looks like they have friendly relationship When the prime minister went to Washington both he and President Carter were closeted With each longer past their scheduled time and appeared to be real buddies Will the future reveal that the reason that they were closeted for so long was not because they were getting along so well but rather Carter was giving Trudeau hell for not haVing made up his mind as to whether or not he was going to build pipeline to hook up wrlh the United States Only time will tell Shy modest Barrie resident unknown as hero of the past Polish allies for their efforts during that war but it is usually only in the Polish community and the odd vetcrans rcunion that name will arise that is known outside their own group in this case these hcroes have great honor in their own home but arc little known elsewhere So be it here in Barrie where one of these vcry mcn lives and works man that lived and was part of that very legend of which have briefly written rcccnlly visited Marian and Eva Trzekin ski at their Boys Street house where Marian builds and repairs watches and clocks and in vents things and it was hcrc that lcame upon his story and the story of the unique Polish FrenchBritish conglomeralion of pilots that fought the Nazis so long ago had noticed the few old photographs of military airplanes that could not recognize and asked if these were pictures from the First World War or something similar But when looked closely saw that it was Marian standing beside the aircraft And he then told me part of the saga of the fighting Polish airman SHOT DOWN SEVEN What he didnt tell mc until was about to leave was what he personally had accomplished as fighter pilot during this era seven enemy aircraft shot down shot down once himself commanding officer ad vance pilot training school Spitfire test pilot heroes are generally shy and modest when it comes to their own successes in battle But did notice that he worked as Com missionairc part time and his uniform was hanging on the wall Over the breast pocket was the biggest row of ribbons that had seen in my own six years with the military The ribbons were not all recognizable and it took while to convince Mr Trzebinski to describe them If medals mean anything perhaps it is simply form of recognition bestowed by country on its deserving Marian Trzebinski holds three of the worlds highest awards for bravery the Polish Virtute Mililaire Medal the Polish Cross of Merit and the French Croix dc Guerre He also wears four battle medals the British War Medal Atlantic Star Air crew Europe Star France and Germany Star and the French Croix de Combat Star Voluntziire and the Croix de Combat Like most of those that served during the war he also carries the Defence War and 3945 Medals Medals are only important to those who earned them perhaps but whereas we may call ourselves Doctor if we have that universi ty degree of place initials after our name for the same reason the hemes of past eras re main generally unrecognized out of choice it seems EXACT OPPOSITE Marian Trzebinski is the exact opposite of what you would expect of an air ace He is shy and modest to point of almost being withdrawn To meet him you would believe that he might be an obscure clerk buried in some obscure government office But Marian Trzebinski is livrng proof of what our fathers and forefathers believed in that country worth living in is worth fighting andor dying for Canadians could learn from people who believe this way par ticularin in these times Barrie is honored to have Marian Trzebin ski living here Barrie should recognize this man Canada should recognize this man Democracy universal ideal By GARRY FAIRBAIRN WASHINGTON CPI former US career diplomat has
