proposed change which would have the mayor chosen by elected councillors instead of by popular vote of all who go to the polls in municipal elections The idea is not altogether new since the warden of Sim coe County council has been elected by this procedure for years This is not altogether undemocratic since under the proposal suggested he would have to be one of the elected councillors But voters could hardly be blamed for feeling this long time democratic right shouldnt be just cast aSIde For Simcoe County it is different since there is no overall election but the members are made up of reeves and de uty reeves elected in municipal elections But or municipalities the voters going to the polls anyway think they would be better served by having the right to make the decision themselves Those who have deplored the decline in percentage of voters turnin out to the polls in local elections would have interested in point they argued removing the mayoralty race could further reduce interest Of course people really ministration will cast their ballots if at all good local ad possible When key issues are involved there is usually heavy vote often regardless of weather conditions This has not only been the case in Barrie but in municipalities of the area generally But droppin the mayoralty contest wouldnt be an en couragement or good turnout In most city and town elections its the main centre of attention and interest for the majority of voters It would be backward step indeed to remove the right of voters to make this choice down memory lane Oct 1957 The Elmvale and Barrie

onsumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service We Canadians are too wrapped up in our own economic problems the chief economist of one of the largest investment houses was saying the other dav Cant see beyond the ends of our noses he implied All things considered our economy is in pretty good shape Just after the dissemination of those cheery words however along came some contrar opinion from sources who are far enoug away that their noses dont interfere with theif vision In Tokyo Ontario Premier William Davis was told by his Japanese hosts in unchar acteristically plain language that they dont regard Ontario or Canada as highly as they used to They are much less inclined to invest here because of such factors as the danger of Quebec separation the incidence of strikes high wages and mediocre productivity In New York the editors of Fortune monthly magazine that is highly regarded in the international business commtuiityi have described the separation issue as an economic disaster It would send the unem ployment rate into orbit and make Quebec an even less attractive haven for foreign in vestors The negative views of foreigners may be glibly dismissed as irrelevant by some

many in 1933 isnt only Englishspeaking Quebeckers whose rights are being trampled by the bevesque government Bill 45 ostensibly law against Quebec strikebreakers would give labor unions almost unlimited power against small businesses and small wageearners Here are excerpts from an letter to Quebec Labor Minister Pierre arc Johnson from Jacques Cousineau instructor in unionism at the University of Montreal and Gerard Dion professor of industrial relations at Laval University whose strong protests in 1949 against Premier Maurice Diplessiss antiunion labor code led to its withdrawal In 1977 we are protesting with equal force against your Bill 45 which in legal terms is an alliance of the resent government and the unions against small wageearners of Quebec This bill could only serve as factor promoting social disorder because it ac tually removes some fundamental rights of workers In addition it will lead to the deterioration of the economy of the province and an increase in unemployment if it becomes law ILLEGAL ACTS It isnt the attitude toward the strike breakers that impresses us although it is more for show than for isefulness and ef ficiency It is the silence of your legislation on the illegal acts ordered or encouraged by the unions These include obstructive and lar escale picketing property damage threats irected against dissdents votes leading up to the strike taken without respect to union mics and refusal to submit the offers of employers to vote the one hand there are restrictive clauses that interfere in the running of the busintxs 0n the other there is sparring or shadowboxing when it comes to intervening in the running of the unions It is also this clause which on the one hand takes away fundamental liberty from the workers by making them under law slaves to the union machine and on the other prohibits the employer from employing wageearners with accreditation certificates even to ensure some absolutely essential ser vices runless they have obtained the unions authorization and we know by experience that such authorization is not ven Today the bi and power ul are found in the unions and government They must not ally themselves

Bureau Thomson News Service Since Conservative Leader Joe Clark has tended to be the victim of somewhat critical press in the last yearwhether it is deserved is beside the pointl hesitate to take issue with his statements No political leader puts more effort into difficult and frequently thankless task But must admit to being startled when heard the youthful Tory leader take swipe at the press for being preoccupied with imaginary differences within his party If the difficulties he has encountered are imaginary would dread any demonstration of the real thing When former party leader who never ut ters critical word about his colleagues takes roundhouse swing at another former leader who happened to be prime minister of Canada Isubmit with all due respect that it does not require any stretching of the imagination to take note of the event The way Robert Stanfield put it in pre ared press release was that John Diefen aker should stop sticking the knife into Joe Clark The world today By JOHN IIARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The tough times have come to the Carter administration certainly domesticall with the Lance affair and also internation ly sin ce President Carters foreign policy thrusts are not striking home Could these be the reasons for the 11day aroundtheworld visit which President Car ter will take between Nov 22 and Dec He will visit eight countries on four con tinents Venezuela Brazil in Latin America Nigeria in Africa Iran and India in Asia Po and Belgium and France in Europe The announcement came as complete sur rise to the ress and the knowitalls in ashington claim to have pipelines into the White Horse The immediate result was to ulate that the trip had been thrown toget er moreor less to get Carter out of town after the debacle of the Lance incident This of course is not true since visit of this calibre by the president of the United States takes weeks to prepare including the tricky process of selecting countries to be visited and receiving the approval of the chief of state and his government WHY GO NOW But the trip has been queried by Congress Len Sevick manager Ruth Blais supervisor BUSINESS

lwould like to know what does What gave the incident greater impact was the fact that the Stanfield ress release seemed so uncharacteristic of man Since he came to Ottawa 10 years ago the mild mannered former Nova Scotia premier has carefully avoided any confrontations within his own party shrugging off criticisms with that crooked grin of his But apparently an indirect reference Diefenbaker made about Clark during recent birthday interview finally made Big Thunder erupt In the interview lhcfenbaker was asked whether he thought flark was strong enough totake on Prime Minister Trudeau and Quebec Premier Rene lwvcsque in the fight over national unity How do you expect me to answer question like that snapped the formcr prime minister as only he can The implication was clear enough to Stair field and the battle of the former leaders bur st out into the open In his statement about Diefenbaker his successor said that we not only seemed to have different concepts of political strategy and indeed of thc country ut refused to break off relations with those whom Mr Diefenbaker felt had tenninatcd his career as party leader He went on to say Tough times reason for trip and the press alikc sinct President artcr had made semipromises before the election that such visits would be posttxmod so he could stay at home and settle the many domestic crises he would have to face Nevertheless the presidential global visit is now in the works and will be the first around theworld trip of anyAmerican president We wont find out the real reason for the big trip exceptit should not be attached to the relatively recent crisis over Bert Lance as the former director of the office of management and budget Whats interesting now are the countries selected Venezuela because of common in terests in oil exports and imports and because of close rapport developed earlier between elected residents Perez and Carter Brazilpwas chosen because of the cooling in historically close relations aroused by Car ters insistence of Brazilian acceptance of his civiirightspro ram Brazrlian ruing generals who imprison torture and who occasionally have murdered their political opponents are not civil rights prone Nigeria is also Third World country Africas largest in fact where fencemending is necessary UN Ambassador Andrew Young tried to heal differences when he was there several months ago ELSEWHERE IN CANADA $3950 your Clarks problems with press not all due to media fantasy that Clark is leading the Conservatives with courage and distinction Another whack at the wedge so to speak If this were mere isolated incident with no historical roots Clark could be for iven for suggesting the media is preoccupi with in ternal Tory differences But what we have is longer running serial than All in the Family REPEAT SHOWS And like al continuing serials you are never quite sure when you are going to see rerun was thinking about this as learned that ltobert Coates the Tory MP for Cumbecland tolchester North is frontrunner to succeed Michael Meighen as party president in November oates was fierce supporter of John Iiefenker when the forces of Dalton Camp ousted the former prime minister in 1967 and he wrote book called The Night of the Knives Clark was on the other side at the time And while everyone involved claims that this is all in the past and all of the principals are now the best of friends the whole business still has nice touch of irony to it think its fair to recall some of these vents vnthout taxing the imagination am not going into all the complicated details of how Clark had to give up his own chosen seat when fellow Tory Stan Schumacher refused to back away from the nomiation but it was an event worth re porting So was the fact that since he became arty leader just 20 months ago Clark has lbs five of his own caucus members Ivo defected to the Liberals another accepted Liberal ap intment still another joined the horrid ia and one entered the priesthood All in all would say that Clark has not en joyed sympathetic press since assuming of fice But also think its fair to say the problem doesnt rest entirely with media imagination JOE CLARK dread the real negligence at Its servants or otherwise and than shall ho no liability for noninsertion at any advortlument beyond the amount paid Ior such advertisement Queens park Mistakes reahzed By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Education What difference decade makes Do you remember some 10 years or so ago Education was everything College degrees were so overblown that you practically had to have one to be considered or sweepers job in factory Everythin was EDUCATION We were ilding community colleges in the spirit of binge And generally education was the elitism of the era So now There was hardly even shock when short while ago Ontario Colleges and Universities Minister Harry Parrott announced there would be no more student grants for post gaduate work In future there will only be loans Dr Parrott didnt say so but in fact this was an admission that we have been over educating We have been turning out so many univer sityeducated people particularly in the pro fessions and the postgraduate areas of cultural and academic fields that the market has been getting glutted And at the same time the supply of workers in certain trades fields has been getting tight CHANGE NEEDED The most revealing illustration of how this attitude has changed comes not from Dr Parrotts move but from speech by Premier William Davis The premier was giving speech to sym posium on apprenticeship He talked about how we had overinflated higher education And then he made this succinct remark What is needed is change in some basic attitudes held by society as whole and the full cooperation of the private sector There is no doubt that we have allacross Canada and in many other countriesput too much emphasis in the past on the need for university or college education make few apologies for our system of education in Ontario It is truly one of the finest anywhere in the world But admit that governments have to share the blame in furthering general public attitude that is probably best described as elitist in respect to education and jobs And that attitude unfortunately is not going to change overnight No it isnt But one reassurance Davis was education minister when we went on our education binge And now he realizes the mistakes Canadas Siory Baddeck favorite By BOB BOWMAN Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone at Brantford Ont and Boston Mass He said years later that the telephone was conceived at Brantford in 1874 and born in Boston in 1876 However Mr and Mrs Bells favorite place in all the world was the Cape Breton village of Baddeck and it is there that their bodies rest on high hill near the Bell Memorial Museum They found Baddeck by accident One sum mer they went on cruise to Newfoundland to get away from the heat of Washington but their ship developed engine trouble and put into Baddeck for repairs While there Bell strolled throuin the town and visited the newspaper office The editor was alone and was trying to make call on his newly installed telephone It wouldnt work and he complained to his visitor not knowing who he wast that there wasnt anyone nearer than Halifax who could fix it Bell asked to examine the phone took the mouthpiece apart removed dead fly and the phone worked perfectly Then he in troduced himself and that was the beginning of great friendship The result was that Mr and Mrs Bell built summer home at Bad deck They enjoyed it so much that they often visited in the winter as well It was there that the first airplane in the British Com monwealth was flown on Feb 23 1909 When the Bells were at Baddeck in 1893 one of their guests was Prof Samuel Langley who had been following the experiments of Wilbur and Orville Wright Bell predicted that men would fly within l0 years and was ridiculed by fellow scientists who told him to avoid making such statements or risk ruining his reputation Bell soon began experimenting with kites and got models soaring 200 feet in the air by rocket propulsion On Sept 30 1907 his wife gave him $20000 to form the Aerial Experimental Association and be was able to engage young engineers JD McCurdy Casey Baldwin Glen hir tiss and Thomas Sel fridge
