STEVEN FOREMAN Advertising Manager Second Clan MM Numbtr 0943 Page SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday February 1983 Making a dollar BramptonGeorgetowns MP might just have a I point John along with colleagues and adver saries alike in the House of Commons have chastised the for their methods of cutting back on million from its budget Mr McDermid suggested that television advertising by the CBC isnt aggressively sought after He used the example of the movie The Tin Flute in which wave after wave of promotional advertising was used in place of the paidfor type It s hard for the to argue about cutbacks when they havent yet put their own ship in order There is clearly a need for a CBC in Canada But lets make it more costefficient and lets try and get more bang for our bucks We need Canadian content programming But is a commercial free documentary going to influence whether or not a program will be viewed Cutting back essential staff to areas that depend on the CBC is not the answer Excesses other than staff layof fs have to be considered for cuts Oftentimes cutting staff is an easy way out to save money Its an instant copout New ways of generating revenue have to be a part of a newlook CBC Until then it will be hard for the government in power to consider continued subsidies Wooing taxpayers Its known that you woo a man through his stomach When it comes to wooing taxpayers politicians know its done with smooth roads Nothing taxpayers more than a series of gut jerking potholes on their way to and from home Thats why the town tossed in of its own money last year when the provincial subsidies for road maintenance and construction didnt come through We hope that when the 1985 budget finally comes out from under the wraps it is generous to the roads program If not local politicians can be sure theyll be hearing taxpayers griping all year especially come election time in November Art talents wanted SAFETY 1985 Models UPPER CLASS Haltons History McCollum an early

the mid lBSOs Or the trees wire for lumber at one of the many sawmills in Ihe lownship Most or the mills were also along the river and as Iheyfllledlhewaterwlthsawdust Ihcy killed some or the life In it In the early days Terra Cotta was known as and the fish could be lifted out wilh pitchforks The sought after properties of the newlyopened townships were Since the government real lied that the future prospirily of on area would depend In pari on the availability of mills to grind flour and lumber they reserved the mill sites for those entrepreneurs who were like to be able to build quickly on There could be fierce competition between rivals for a particular site James McCollum had lived In New York state and served during the American revolution with Rogers Kings Rangers His first wife was Sarah Campbell second Eunice French by Ihem he had at least ten children In 1793 the family came lo Canada settling first in Grimsby As for so many loyalist families who came lo the Niagara

September Peter applied for a mill seat in township near where J Hutton would later build Ihe mills around which Huttonville would develop But others were also interested in setting up grist and saw mills there Timothy Street Ansel Foster and Peter Walker For some reason McCollum with drew his application in favor of Street Fosters application did not seem to get serious consideration The Executive Council of the colony accepted Walker proposal The successful Walker did not make his fortune out the by 1823 he was pounds in debt his lands were seized by the sheriff and sold a speculator Jr for pounds Within a month Boulton had resold them for four times what he had paid McCollum turned his attention elsewhere and In was granted a mill seat on the Credit in Esqucsing The condition of such grants was that mills be built within IB months seems to have met his deadline erecting one or the earliest grist and saw mills In the lownship near Georgetown In 1825 he moved to Peel county but kept up his Interest In milling and in petitioned to build mills on Twelve Mile creek above Indian hunting grounds in Trafalgar own In the year of Ihe rebellion IB37 he was gazetted as Lieutenant

President Georgetown Palette and pencil Club Queen Park Bureau or The Herald Former AttorneyGeneral Roy used argue Ihe- way deal with hate literature was to prosecute its distributors under both existing and strengthened legislation His critics such as myself said cure was worse than the disease He was wrong We were right The evidence parades before us dally In the form of newspaper headlines about the Ernst Zundel trial being held here Auschwitz death camp called fake Toronto Sun No gas chambers In Nazi Genua expert witness testifies Globe and Mail No evidence of Jewish genocide expert Times Those headlines and others like Ihem as well as much of he testimony at the Zundel trial appears In media as though the existence of the Holocaust itself was on trial rather simply a man charged with breaking Ihe law CASE The specific offence under the Criminal Code is wilfully publishing a statement one knows Is false and which is likely to cause Injury or mischief lo the public interest is that wilh which Zundel is charged Only a court can decide whether his denial or Ihe Holocaust meaning National Socialisms systematic extermination of the Jews because they were Jews was wilful knowingly false and likely to cause mischief What court cannot do Is change historical record The Holocaust existed and nothing said at the trial can change that fact patent lies ending bolster an anti Holo caust argument receive wide exposure In the media MUCH NEWS The fault does not He wilh either he courts or the media who are essenl illy doing their Jobs but wilh the McMurtrys In the political and legal systems who think what they call hate literature can be fought by laws and prosecution Going to court gives the most Illogical thoughts a credence and exposure they would not otherwise obtain or deserve Admitt edly a private citizen and not the government launched this prosecutl on millions of dollars in free publicity Is flowing to men whose foremost desire is that their ideas be taken seriously How much better hove left Zundel and his Ilk lo peddle their views in he obscure magazines and books where one finds most of the revisionist history of Adolph Hitler Germany Raider Darren Lowe Eligibility a matter for interpretation Staff Comment Darren Lowe is still an amateur hockey according the general manager of the National Hockey League team Lowe was with briefly las year Eddie Johnstone the general manager of Pittsburgh Penguins said last week Lowe was on an Ihe NHL club and still has his amateur status Intact Lowe played eight gomes with Pittsburgh shortly after playing In the 1884 winter Olympics The question of Lowe amateur status has been brought up by wo Ontario Senior A Hockey League teams who feel he should be deemed a professional for having played in the National Hockey League last year Friday Colllngwood Shipbuilders filed a protest after losing lo Georgetown Raiders and last week Raider president Finn Poulstrup received a letter from Cambridge Hornets protesting heir loss to Georgetown Iwo weeks ago Both roles ts concerned Lowes amateur status He Lowe did play In the NHL but It was strictly on an amateur tryoul basis Johnstone said In a telephone Interview He never signed any NHL contract As for answering a question as whether Lowe was still an amateur Johnstone replied sure he Lowe received a game from the Penguins and had his hotel and food expenses picked up by the NHL club Although his was for 10 games Lowe only played In eight To be honest with you we didnt feel he could play In NHL Johnstone said The whole issue of amateur status was brought up at the Feb IB league meeting when Flam bo ro Don Robertson began saying league rules state cams can only play the first three Import players Ihcy sign However Raider officials the rule as saying a hockey team can play any three of the six Impart players it Is allowed sigh The league rule as such which you could more than anything Is a gentlemans agreement stales you can sign six reinstated pros It also classifies if you bring in a college or university player after Dec he would be an import said Raider general Gil Eyre The Senior A league does not have a constitution per say us the league is sill drawing one up The only way you can be classified a pro is if you play in a pro league and sign a contract with hat league He Lowe did neither of hat If you only play the first Imports you sign Ihcn why would you waste three cards and sign six Eyre said But coach Sty said ho and the other clubs are interpreting rule as stating he first Ihree imports are the only ones a cam can play until such time as it gets outside the Senior A League This Is how the league to make Ihe league fairly equitable hesald rule set In this league before Georgetown or we entered thai said youre only allowed three players who have played professional university or college hockey the previous season There Is nothing wrong with Georgetown signing these guys as long as hey dont use them until Ihcy gel out the league After that theyre lair The rule in question reads us follows For Senior A League competition the following players bo as imports and shall not total than Ihree of he Imports allowed under CAHA regulations Rule port stipulates a pro as being one taking part after Dec 31 In Notional Hockey League American Hockey League Central Hockey League International Hockey League Atlantic Coast Hockey League Eastern Hockey League and Southern Hockey League As far as Raider president Poulstrup Is concerned this Is Ihe third Interpretation of the ruling this season Ho said the first one was having six Imports and only using three at one time The second came around Christmas when It was said o mean each team had to designate three Imports for playoffs could use the season as a testing ground for what three learn would chouse The third one is the current Interpretation is going by Under and OHA regulations playing three of he nix Is the one written in the Is concerned at what decision will be reached should be protests find their way to Ihe for final decision It con terns me because the OHA has a history making pro verse decisions They make rulings that fly in Ihe face of fact they make rulings on hearsay They tend to look at It In a way thai suits everybody but Georgetown But on the other hand 11 is new board of directors for the and I have to rust Ihem at this paint a little fear and trepidation he said As for man In question Lowe feels he has do no nothing wrong I wanted o try the NHL and see how that would work out he said I had signed an amateur form before in he Chicago organization and played exhibition games and I played school University of Toronto year I figured so long as I kept that status umacur Id be able to play at school but as turned out didnl help me Tim will review protests today to sec If merit hearing On February 1963 many indivl duals with varying disabilities some representing associations or
