2 THE SURREY LEADER, SURREY, B.C. THURSDAY, JUNE 10th, 1976 3 Improve Present Enforcement The Surrey Leader welcome eorreapondenca of a public nature, does not hold Itself In any way responsible for opinion! ipreaied Editor, Surrey Leader, Sir, We hear a lot about the way uur young people act up, vandalize, but seldom hear of the one who go out of their way to help others. Sure my own house In White Rock was entered and robbed a few months ago, but an experience we had is worth recording. On leaving the Elks Hall in Cloverdale after a bowling banquet, 1 accidentally backed into a ditch. Trying to find a tow truck I ended up at the 66 gas station on Highway 10, Though the attendants were busy pumping gas one of them took time to make several phone calls.

On walking back to my car I found it was parked across the street. Two young men, maybe 20 years old, who had not of course known there was a tow cable in the truck, picked up a chain and pulled the car out of the ditch with their truck. They refused any payment and We can continue to argue which came first, the criminals or the drugs; the apathy of the public or the growing hold which organized crime is securing in Canada. It would be better if we concentrated immediate action on' improving performance. Certainly the court procedures can be streamlined and improved Courts can be made more servants of the people rather than regarding themselves as some divinely-appointed survivor from a Golden Age A good start has been made in a change in policing methods, locally.

It was badly needed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has been pretty useless as far as Surrey has been concerned, over the past twenty years. Now, however, the force has gone back to community policing and this program appears to hold out high hopes. Not a dramatic change, no storming of the ramparts but it does seem to be working. Perhaps we could apply a similar shift in emphasis in manv other sectors of law enforcement Let's concentrate on streamlining the procedures and operations of the present system. Enforce the law as it now stands.

Nothing undermines law as much as lack of enforcement Nor do interminable delays add to public acceptance. At provincial and federal levels Canada ha high prestige law reform committees or commissions, churning awav on studies and recommendations on him to improve the legal svstem The social work approach seems supreme II there is enough counselling of juvenile delinquents and hardened adults, all our problems will be solved Maybe It doesn't seem to have worked out in the manv, many jurisdictions in the world where that approach has been the vogue for forty and fifty years Let leave the arguments on changes in legal philosophy for the time being Conientrate on the bottlenecks in the present sy stem Make policing and courts more etticient, and also more people-conscious As examples we do not need new laws on gun controls as much as we need enturcement of present laws on handguns, and stern jail sentences for those who break the present gun laws. We need new laws against commercial fraud and business rackets less than we need more men and trained specialists concentrating on preventing and punishing such crime We also need to retire a lot of our ludges Wrist-slapping sentences have contributed to the rising flood of violence in this country Editor, Surrey Leader, Sir, I am writing to your newspaper to thank publicly a group of ladies, who for a couple of years now, have helped this Centre, namely The Canadian Order of Foresters, Court of Lady Marian, We deal with a type of service that sometimes very few people know about and to get community support of a qualitative nature is sometimes difficult. The Court of lady Marian, under the leadership of Mrs. D.

Steer, have worked on our behalf to give us a feeling that we are not alone when helping a handicapped child and his family. Though much criticism Is levelled at the lack of community concern and support, I would have to differ with this opinion today. In these difficult times, it is most gratifying to know that we are not alone. ELIOAZZARA, Executive Director, Variety Treatment Centre for Children 9460 140th Street. Surrey.

He is well established in the Lower Mainland, with firm roots in White Rock. His Mind Matter Gallerv is located at 13743 North Blufl Road. A reticent, brooding artist Mikclson is not. His face, in repose, gives the impression that he wouldn't welcome having his train of thought interrupted by trivialities, but ask a reasonably intelligent question and along with that ready smile of response you will get either a very knowledgeable answer or a simple, "I don't know." He's a direct man. Most of his answers fall into i he-first category as he is a very thorough student.

His interests extend through history, racial origins and development of man. scientific theories and his latest, mineralogy. This does not make him into a formidable man though. He is a loving man who enjoys family life. He and his quiet mannered wife Mary have three daughters.

Gita is 1 1 years old; Sapphire, 8: Myra, and son Sandy is six. Visitors at the gallery are an everyday happening and Arnold enjoys that. A great many become friends and the Mikelsons have company several evenings a week. A few friends, a few drinks, good conversation, good food he is a sociable person but nightclubs and dancing have no appeal whatsoever. He prefers to eat at home in comfort.

Work Proceeding on Dam at Trail The workforce at B.C. Hydro's Seven Mile hydro-electric project on the Pcnd d'Orcillc River near Trail has increased to about 400 men as construction activity enters its second year. The project will include a dam about 215 feet high and a powerhouse on the downstream side of the dam. When completed in 1980 the powerhouse will initially house three 202,000 kilowatt generating units, with provision for a fourth later when required. Total capacity of the plant will be 808,000 kilowatts.

Seven Mile, a "run-of-the-river" project, will provide a higher power yield per acre flooded than any other potential hydro-electric site in B.C. Only 500 acres will be flooded. The project will use waterflow regulation already provided by Boundary Dam and other upstream storage sites on the United States portion of the Pend d'Oreille River. Main thrust of the present workforce is to complete the excavation of a 840 foot long, 60 foot high diversion tunnel to carry the water past the dam site. Diversion is scheduled to take place some time next fall.

Upstream and downstream cofferdams will be built and the area between dewatered to allow construction of the dam and powerhouse on a dry section of riverbed. Work is progressing on schedule on construction of a 7'i mile long access road along the north bank of the river. On the 17th of June the bookmobile will visit Anniedale at 12: 15 and 162 A street and 92th Avenue at 1:20.

fo Appoint Ombudsmen to Fight the Bureaucracy Attorney-General Garde Gardom has introduced legislation providing for the appointment of British Columbia's first ombudsman. "The ombudsman will be a person who can question and deal specifically with maladministration and injustice, with power to investigage, criticize and make public his findings," Mr. Gardom told the Legislature in Victoria. "This office will be another safeguard to the individual against excesses and abuses." The ombudsman will be an officer of the Legislature, whose appointment will require the unanimous decision of a committee of the house. He will be appointed to a renewable six-year term at the same salary as a Supreme Court judge.

The ombudsman may investigate complaints concerning any department or branch of the Provincial Government, Crown corporations, organizations where a majority of the members of the board of directors are appointed by the B.C. Government, and corporations in which the Government owns more than 50 per cent of the shares. The basic function of the ombudsman will be to investigate complaints from individuals who feel aggrieved by the administrative process of government. The bill empowers the ombudsman to make an investigation either as a result of a complaint or on his own initiative or as a result of a referral from the legislature. The ombudsman has wide powers to obtain information from persons in such manner as he considers appropriate.

If he considers it necessary, he may hold hearings to obtain the information that may be necessary to a full investigation. He will have the power to enter premises occupied by an authority under investigation, and require all persons to furnish documentary and other information relating to his investigation. He will have the power to summon before him and examine on oath any person who is, in his opinion, able to give information relevant to an investigation. Any complaints to the ombudsman must be submitted in writing. The ombudsman is then empowered to request that the authority notify him within a specified time of the steps that have been or arc proposed to be taken to give effect to the recommendations.

If the action taken by the authority concerned does not satsify the ombudsman he can then refer the matter to the provincial cabinet and the full legislature. He will not have power to enforce his recommendations but can publicize instances where action is not taken. "Family Album," gave the group the distinction of having been named provincial winners for three successive years. The Provincial Government was asked in June, 1956 to declare the Lower Fraser Valley disaster areas and that help be given to carrying herds over the following winter. Request was made by local members of the Farmers' Institute.

The Fraser Valley hay crop was estimated to be one-third of normal because of winter kill from frost. Ted Kuhn, the head of the delegation that met Hon. Kenneth Kiernan, Minister of Agriculture, said that a farmer near Abbotsford sold three Holstein cows for S45 each, because of lack of pasture. If the Federal Government persists in spending at current rates, while all other groups in Surrey truckers were selling water fur JO for 1000 gallons. Sirloin steak was selling for 55 cents pound.

People were dancing every Saturday night to the music of Walt's Old-Timers, at the Canadian Legion auditorium in Cloverdale. Vancouver Normal School was closing, and all teacher training was being centralized at the University of B.C. A homecoming of the graduates of the school was held on June 9th. 1956. Councillor H.

A. Stewart was asking for a revision of zoning regulations. "There is too much area zoned for ubran residential in the Whalley area." he said. The executive officer of the B.C. Parent-Teacher Association was urging stricter discipline for children.

Mrs. A. H. Young said the time was right for parents to gang up on their children and not they on parents. Very little dust nuisance from the gypsum plant at Port Mann as found in the residential area.

That was the report given to Surrey Council by administration. Inspection was made by medical officer Dr. H. K. Kennedy, sanitary inspector Webb and building inspector Dan Closkey.

Stan McKinnon in The Leader's Keeping Tab column suggested that the pipeline deal the Federal Government made with Trans-Canada did not smell good but the hot air in the debate had obscured the original issue. He suggested a pipeline should be run from the House of Commons to tap this new source of natural gas. Surrey Municipal Council decided to name a committee to assist in planning celebrations for British Columbia's 1958 Centennial celebrations. The Provincial Government was granting 40 cents per person to help finance local celebrations, and offered to match local governments for permanent Centennial projects. The former Social Credit M.P.

for New Westminster, George Hahn of Whalley, said that the agricultural industry was not getting its proper share of the national income. He laid the blame on increased feed and freight costs, and said that dyking had become a major problem. Surrey Municipal Council had received an offer to purchase the 480 acre "airport site" at White Rock. This is still owned by Surrey Municipality, and is now known as Sunnyside Acres. Proposal as from a large Vancouver real estate firm, for un-named principals.

Proposal was for residential purposes and a shopping centre. Frascr Valley Rabbit Assn. was very active in Surrey twentv years ago. Newly elected president was B. C.

Hill of White Rock, with J. A. Allan of Sullivan and W. E. Irwin of Cloverdale the vice-presidents.

Secretary was J. Simpkin of Newton, with Miss Akke Zjilstra of Cloverdale the treasurer. Surrey School Board Inspector K. B. Woodward was predicting that there would be 40 classrooms on shift in fall, 1956 because a total of over 10,000 students was expected.

Besides new construction, many old schools in Surrey were being modernized and upgraded. Floors were being re-done in 16 schools; new roofs applied; and exteriors painted.

P. McKinnon, Editor D. G. Coupland, Co-Publisher TODAY'S ANSWER an who will be paying for this spending spree of the Federal Government. The total tai take at the federal level this year will rise by 18.

Whether you pay it directly to the government in the form of increased income taxes, or through indirect taxation, in the end most taxes are paid by the individual Canadian consumer and producer. When the former Minister of Finance, John Turner, took over the Finance Portfolio, real growth was averaging when he left, real growth was little better than 0. That reduced rate of growth has exacted its penalty in the form of job creation. In 1972 there were seasonally adjusted 539.000 unemployed. Last summer, when Mr.

Turner left the portfolio, there were 732.000 unemployed. Now, under the new Minister of Finance, there are 761,000 unemployed people in Canada and that amount will likely increase as a result of the inadequacies of this budget. In spite of the government's efforts at wage and price control, we still have an inflation rate of 9.4. This level of inflation is unacceptable, especially in light of the lower inflation levels of our major trading partners. The United States, well on its way to recovery, has achieved lower unemployment levels, increased productivity and real growth and, at the same time, contained inflation.

Meanwhile, the Canadian Gov; ernment struggles with a discriminatory and confused wage and price control program. While taxation revenue was considerably increased, there were no major tax cuts or business capital investment incentives in the budget because the Government believes the economy will recover on its own. I am optimistic that the economy will recover to some degree in spite of the government rather than because of it. A weak spin-off from the United States recovery may moderate the blow that the government's inability to control inflation for Canadians has dealt us. But that docs not negate the longer term effects of the virtual destruction of our capacity to compete in foreign markets." mmm.
