Magnet for tourists By James Resron Te New yj-it Trres It may, and probably is, true that Kissinger as weil as Secretary of State Rogers and most of the senior officers- in the state department are opposed to the 's bombing offensive in North Vietnam. And 'also, that Kissinger would be more willing than the president to take a chance on signing the ambiguous truce terms of Oct. 26.

But Kissinger is too much of a scholar, with too good a sense of humor and history, to put his own thoughts ahead of the president's. Just as optimistic It. is probably nonsense to suggest, as many people in Washington are now doing, that Kissinger was not faithful to the president's instructions in the Paris negotiations, or that Kissinger's judgment that "peace is at hand" in late October was any different from the judgment of the president, who was just as optimistic in his public statements that a cease-fire was just about to be signed. Kissinger has a strong sense of tragedy about Vietnam and wants to get it he-hind us and go on to the more fundamental questions of military arras control in the world, trade and monetary reform, peace in the Middle East, reconciliation between the races, the parties, and the generations at Fort Calgary restoration urged for city centennial bombers made their point -ISC Fort Calgary in 1878 What better project of significance for the 1975 centennial could the city have, asks Calgary writer Jim Kenmuir, than the restoration of the first North West Mounted Police post on the Bow River, namely, Fort Calgary? and in their minds they visualize, and re-enact the scene of the battle, massacre, Indian uprising, whatever. This is one of the attractions that drew them there in the first place.

An old adage states: Action speaks louder than words. We all want many things, but most of them are never attained, purely by the fact that we never really do anything practical about it. We" are all apt to do too much wishful thinking. It is easier that way. but when we do not cot it.

tnere is nobody to blame but ourselves. For the preservation of Fort Calgary, let the people act for a change. Let them voice their positive wish that this will happen. Let the men. who have the power and finance to make this a reality, let them know that this is what we.

The shift in health services promised to be a bit trickier.

The general idea was to slow down hospital construction and get district health councils to take stock and recommend priorities. Two of their most important guidelines would be to ensure services were noi duplicated and expensive hospital beds were not being used to treat the chronically ill and convalescents who. presumably, did net need the highly-specialized care of a general or teaching hospital.

Whether through school education, books, news media such as radio, tv. the people have learned about those places, and as history will never die, whv not preserve them? The future generation will not show the slightest nit of interest, if we should pick up a handful of loose earth, and say. "This is the earth that Fort Calgary once stood upon." The same people would have an entirely different viewpoint if we took them through the log wood stockade gate, and said. "This is an exact replica of Fort Calgary." They would show a very keen interest wan; to see everything inside the fort, and there would be a constant barrage of questions. As the I.

G. Baker Company which had come from Fort Benton with the fur were the builders of the original fort, there must be many of our Southern neighbors across the border who can trace some relative or other in this building project, and when the old fort is restored, it would be astonishing how fast they would get to know of it. and make it a point to visit the fort. Had this project been completed by next year. 1373, the F.oyal Canadian "Mounted Police in their centennial year, would have held celebrations Fort Calgary, just as they will be doing at Fort a I d.

and Fort Whoop-up in Alberta. We are told that the fma! attendance figures for the 10-d a Stampede in 1972, reached a record of 908.035. It is still being discussed shout extending the Stampede time to two weeks, or 14 full days. Should this be the case, the final attendance figures could be aopiied. therefore an average day attendance would be 90.S03.5 persons per clay.

That being so. in a 14-day period, the Stampede could acclaim an attendance figure of 1.271.249. With such a high figure as this, how can there be any doubt as to the practicality of amalgamating the site of the Old Fort with the Stampede Grounds? -Ey Bob Bowman When the NHL was formed in 1317. it became possible to have its top team play the winner of the Pacific Coast League for the Stanley Cup.

TORONTO When was the last time you almost fanned dead away at the thought of the tax bite governments take from your pay cheque? By Bob Cohen News Sentcss And when was the last time you nearly soared into a livid rase at the news of some plainly stupid waste of those hard-earned dollars? A lot of people consider effective spending to be the most important issue facing all elected governments for purely political reasons if nothing else. You don't have to look back any farther than lasn October's federal election and its unemployment insurance debate to see whv. During the past 18 months, the Ontario government has been wrestling with what Premier William Davis calls i any question the most extensive analysis" of its spending habits in a decade. As a result, the Davis ministry has announced during the past month some striking shifts in spending which spell newly-emerging provincial priorities. Basically, the government is siphoning money from the two areas in which, traditionally, it has spent most lavishlyhealth and education and re-injecting those dollars into so-called quality-of-iife areas.

"Mr. Davis, in an interview with Southam News Services last week, suggested two basic a or these changing directions: Ontario has its back un against the financial wall. Three years from now will see Calgary's Centennial, and this is a time when some project of significance for unprovina or for the betterment of the city and province is sought. By Jim Kenmuir What better project of significance for the 1975 centennial could tie city have than the restoration of the first North West Mounted Police post on the Bow River, namely. Fort Calgary? During the recent Calgary Stampede days, many visitors snowed considerable interest in the model of the old Fort Calgary, which Hugh Dempsey.

director of history for the Gienbow Alberta Institute had so painstakingly re-created to a 1 64th detailed replica. This creation was made possible by a careful and devoted three-year study by Mr. Dempsey of all documents, old photographs pertinent to the fort. Even though historical museums usually have a wonderful display of many scale models, they are still an enclosed building and cannot portray a true feeling or flavor of such a project as an early Western stockaded fort. To see a scale model of a fort, with indicated names for each unit, such as stables, cookhouse, gun powder room, this is fine, but you have to use your imagination cuite a lot to try and visualize just what it would have been like in those early cays.

On the other hand, on pure supposition, suppose that the same scale mode! could be blown up to the proper size, sunpose there appeared some teepee? with Indians moving in and nut of them, whilst some more huddled around a wood fire, and suppose two North West Mounted Fohce accompanied by a scout, crossed the courtyard leading their horses to the stables, would not this scene, the closeness of the people, the smell of the smoke from the fire, the general activity, would this not make you want to be an active participant in the whole portrayal of the early West? Tms. and other such scenes, would tend to make the whole thing an actual truism. The tendency today regarding the future development of the city, is to head towards the eastern sections, and this old fort site would "be a perfect location. Travelling through a province, state, or country where there is historical interest, and where it preserved, tourists make it a "must" to visit it. People are people.

He has "and I think this applies to jurisdictions other than The people of the province are looking for more concerted government action in the quality-of-iife areas. The financial problem is an old one for all provincial governments, but the Davis administration's resolution of it is not. Provincial revenues, premier pointed out.

largely governed by income-tax rebates from Ottawa, have simply not risen at the same rate as health and education costs. So his government has decided to keep those fields as trim as possible while continuing to press Ottawa for a better federal-provincial revenue-sharing arrangement. 'We must do two things live within our means a-d continue to explore with Ottawa some rationalization of tie distribution of powers and of the tax resource that is necessary." Although he hoped Ottawa's "logic and reason will prevail ultimately we hav? no reason to be more than we were three months ago and we have no reason to be more riiscou-agrd." The limits on education spending began two years ago when the provincial government imposed per capita ceilings on operating costs. Capital expenditures in edu-cation were frozen last month, and were followed quicklv by a f-ecj? en capi'a! spending for hospitals and a limit on the increase in their operating grants. U.S.

"Were relative'v confident t-a; tne boaros can conr.ru? to acuver tne same quality, but a more creative way That, of course, remains to be seen, and what is seen will bear, undoubtedly, on Mr.

Davis' political viability. So much for the rationale on the money side. What about the argument that voters' expectations are changing, that they want the provincial governments to carry a bigger stick in such fields as urban transit and environmental protection? Mr. Davis was sworn in as premier at 10 a.m. on.

March 1. 1971. Three hours later, he was telling a luncheon club provincial priorities had to change. ''Now we must concentrate on human problems, problems which are insurmountable for individuals to deal with on their own." i That bit about individuals, incidentally, appears to be central to Mr. Davis' view of relative responsibilities in a democratic system.

Listen to what he says about pollution. "People zero in on the major corporations. They look at the smoke stacks and all the rest of it. And that's a major problem which is in the pro-' ess of solution. Drive up the highways.

It's not the major corporations that are throwing Coke bottles or beer cans or what have you into the ditches or imo the water. It's people.

Consequently, he points ts the pro-reformist results -of the recent Toronto civic election to add currency to the case. "Growth for the sake of growth is no longer relevant We are concerned now about the quality of growth the way we live, whereas 19 years ago.

anything that produced growth in the economy was great. We still have to be concerned about the economy continuing to move forward. But there is no ques- tion that we will lake a greater interest in the kind of growth." Pollution controls were staffer than four years ago. Guidelines for approving housing subdivision plans had been tightened. The S1.3-bil'.ion urban transit policy the premier had unveiled last month i for which the diverted funds will help pay) was a huge pan of the total picture.

Some people consider Davis government's spending decisions politically caring. The premier suggests he regards them as practically imperative and philosophically attuned to evolving values. "What we're doing will cause some dislocation, will not be easy for some groups in our society to fully understand yet. or accept. "But" we think the evidence is there.

We think what we're doing is right. We do not minimize the difficulty or the complexity of tiat we're doing." i Copyright i court all four of Fresident Nixon's appointees, plus John F.
