the chief justice of Ontario Chief Justice Gregory Evans has ruled that journalists dont have the right to report what MPs say in the Com mons The chief justice went further he said he did not con sider it members right or duty to give information to constituents Chief Justice Evans decision may or may not be legally correct there will doubtless be more legal fighting over it One of the criticisms of the decision is that the decision says nothing about Hansard the daily record of Com mons debates or of television coverage of the Commons That may prove that Supreme Court Justices are out of ltouch with reality or confine themselves solely to the aw It appears Chief Justice Evans confined himself solely to the law And the law in this case is wrong The House of Commons should not operate in vacuum The people of this country have the right to know what happens in the House of Commons both from their MPs and through the media The Barrie Scene By KEN WALLS weekly newspaper which

Elmvale Mothers Grief Dear Sir Adults often wonder if children have any concept of the meaning of Remembrance Day Enclosed is poem by Shelle Morrow 13yearold Warnica student whic might sh ed some light on the question MOTHERS GRIle It was 1914 The start of World War Called to serve his country Was my one and only son Ill never forget the da he left And waved to me good ye From distance could see tear was in his eye He stood there so far away And like solider toy Oh my God cried He8just boy He left me with the promise That hed be back someday And all that could do Was to hope and pray He sent me letter When he found time to write And told me how he longed for home Though he must stay and fight The war raged on as months passed by The months soon into years And every time thought of him My smile turned to tears dnt know why he stayed to fight He meant so much to me Though in letter he once wrote Its for my country Mom we all must be free now heard the Reverend ask us to how our heads In memorium to the soliders who now are dead May we praise what they have done Thanks to them the war was won Shelley Morrow This was written as part of creative writing class directed by Mr Paul Smith and its my pleasure to draw it to your attention Sincerely McEvoy Principal Boys with girls Dear Sir To paraphrase Mens liberation is fine to point but feel the Ontario Mens Ri ts Commission ruling to force the Ontario ucation Authority to allow boys to attend school is carrying the matter too far Now dont get me wrong Im not saying that boys shouldnt be lowed to attend school just dont think they should be playing and learning with girls The Com mission ordered the Education Authority to accept any male student who has the ability to roam wrtn girls feel the ruling is ridiculous Learning is way of life for many Canadian girls Practically every girl dreams of becoming an educated reasoning human being who will act and think in an un bigoted nonreactionary manner during the courscof her life Maybe the whole dream wont become reality but that really isnt important Its the fact that they went out and did their best thats important and that perhaps on the way they became little wiser and more un derstandlng To allow boy into class of students teacher has to cut young girl When you are eight or nine years old their is nothing worse than being ousted by buy It could destroy pigs confidence in herself illld because of shc may quit school and perhaps even become sportswriter Scott Haskins person of indeterminate age but obvious prejudice started the turmoil on Thursday Nov 10 this season when he tried to write column on the need to keep girls out of minor hockey The whole idea behind any educational system is to produce educated thoughtful human beings so why waste time and money developing boys if there ls no future tor them The school system can boast great deal of success at grooming scholars allround athletes and great people Boys are rarely if ever really interested in becoming educated although in the past The Examiner ap nrs to have had some sportswriters who cou think and reason It is the thought of beating out girl for position that brings boys out to classes but there is limit to how far boys can go in lear nrng Once the girls reach bantam age it is just too rough for boys Accumulating knowledge is major part of education and boys just cant compete past the Peewee level without risking serious brain strain boys mental abilit reaches ak when he is 13 years old Akglr is still ma uring when she is 18 years Its hard to picture girl and boy going in to comer for loose book without the boy getting hurt There are other roblems for boys who at tend school with rls There is bound to be dissesig in tililesc ool The wi get specie priv eges an 3213 are bound to be ealous There is even chance they migh be taught to cook or care It children perogative women have guarded for centuries So much for paraphrasing to make point Where is boy or girl supposed to learn to be tolerant to measure each person ac cording to that lndividuals abilities and not by any other means The 10 cal place is an openminded un derstand ng and considerate socie one in which each persons contribution as im portant as the others Hopefully the standards of this society originate in solid family life truly co educational schooling and firm moral rin ciples Unfortunately as soclet we ve not quite reached that goal ye and our striving certainly will not be helped by blind prejud ce thrown at us by unthi ing biased rters do have some unaware as country of mostly humanismgood thin too since it appears some havent got past questions One thing is for certain in the world of today and in the future the prime asset of any individual is likely to be not to see how hard you can hit the other guy but how well you can use the knowledge and tolerance you have accumulated to see others aspirations not as threat to yourself but as con tribution to the whole Yours truly Johnson Midhurst it costs less Dear Sir Your article in the Nov 10 Examiner on hockev guipment upset me very much If lb seen that article year ago my son would probably not be playing hockey now Those costs would have been too much for our budget When registered my eight year old son Jason for hockey this year was prepared to spend about $100 for equipment My actual cast was about $50 including sales tax Instead of telling parents where they can buy good equi men for the most money you should have elped them by telling them where they can buy good equipment for less had neighbor whose son was no longer playing hockey She sold me shoulder pads elbow pads gloves pants shin pads athletic support and suspenders for $5 All of this equipment is still in excellent condition lhad the helmet from skating lessons so all needed was the face mask The cast for the junior size was $1395 bought skates at the Knights of Columbus equipment exchange There got $40 S45 pair of skates for $20 then had to buy pair of socks for $225 and stick suitable for an eight year old was $7 The only equipment an eight year old is hard on are the socks The kids seem to spend lot of time on their knees Also most of the equipment except socks sticks and possibly skates should last two three years and possrbly to or That same equipment can then be he ed down to another member of the family or sold at an uipment exchange The Knights of Colum rm have hockey equipment exchange There you can sell the outgrown equipment and buy god used equip ment for about half the price of new equip ment There are also many stores in Barrie that sell heckey equipment lknow that if parents are not scared off by your article and shop around they can have their son well protec ted against possible injury for much less than $220 Then when their eight year old says Dad can play hockey this ear he will willingly says Yes that shoul befun Your truly Marie Powell Wasnt hockey Dear Sir attended the Barrie Colts Kids Night With my two sons and neighbors boy all hockey players We were sub acted to the most disgushng display of non ey have seen in long time saw the Flyers play Prague last year The boys will remember as do an even ing of cheap shots passi for legal checking stupid brawllng and for most part tota inept hockey from both teams read Scott Hasklns re rt of the game some of his comments lea me to believe he has never witnessed real hockey One statement he writes The Colts played well but just didnt at the breaks Played what 138 certa nly wasnt hockeylll Greatfor thek Yours truly Buckner Barrie The Examiner claims copyrlaht on all original news and advertising material created by its employees and published In this newspaper Copyright roglstretlon number 203815 register working By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Legislatures and our parliamentary process generally are slow to move ahead They still follow procedures and ap proaches that have applied for decadesin some cases centuries Overall this general stability is almost certainly good Our system now has been developed over long time and is not one to be tampered with frivolously But still we are living in fastmoving and greatlydevelo ngtimes And it wail probably be as big mistake not to improve the system as to tamper with it indiscriminately MEMBERS BILLS In this the house has been quite admirable It has not been afraid to change but it has also kept good balance in approaching its changes During the last few years it has modernized its procedures and its general administrative approach gust of its moves have apparently been But there is no question that the most significant and fundamental change has been in the new irn tance it has given to private members andpgrticularly to the procedure house and become law WERE ALTOMATONS For long time the private member was the least cors icuous of people around here Particular he didnt figure in the legislative process His voice was an automatic oneyes if he were govemment supporter and vbting for government legislation and nay if he were member of the Opposition The new private members procedure gives him chance to participate and express an independent vote of his own But whats more the process is producing some good legislation Liberal Remo Mancinis bill to increase the drinking age will probably get througi the house before the session winds up Most importantly it is probably the one way it could get througha government would hardly propose it per se particularly when it lowered the age in the first place Canadas story One of best in history By BOB BOWMAN Nov 19 is an important day for British Columbia It was on Nov 19 1858 that the mainland known as New Caledonia became separate colony called British Columbia Then on Nov 19 1866 British Columbia and Vancouver Island were united as one Margaret Ormsby author of British Co lumbia History believes Nov 19 was chosen as the date for amalgamation for sen timental reasons Evidently there wasnt the same sentiment in 1871 when British Columbia joined Can ada because that day was July 20 British Columbia was created as an emergency measure It was furtrading area controlled the Hudsons Bay Com pany until 1858 ut the situation changed when gold was found along the Fraser and Thompson rivers Thousands of prospectors from the US rushed into the area and it seemed likely US troops might be sent there to protect them from Indians and mternal strife James Douglas governor of Vancouver Island foresaw the da er and urged the British government to action before it was too late Britain asked Douglas to ad minister British Columbia as well as Van couver Island sent troops and with them remarkable man named Matthew Baillie Begbie to act as judge and halp keep order Begbie was not even practisrng lawyer but reporter for the Law Times in London He developed his own law system in British Columbia and administered it on horseback This proved to be effective and the US never had an excuse to send in troops to protect our nationals The ceremony creating British Columbia on Nov 19 1858 took place at Fort Langley on the Fraser River now an historic site Douglas first announced Emblem pointment as judge and adml toned oath of office then Begbie read Douglas commission as overnor and wore him in
