2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 25th, 1979 Orono Weekly Times HIGHEST JOB CREATION RATE Uncmployemtn figures issued on a monthly basis do get wide coverage through the news media. Of course they are high and even higher than our neighbour to the south blit then there are Some positive points to the labour front in . Canada which all too often are overlooked. Roger Worth, director of public affairs of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business points put in a recent article that Canada has one of the highest job creation rates in the world today. He points but that it is the smaller independent businessman that is created a few jobs here and a few jobs there to put Canada at the top for job creations. As Worth puts it it is the Marys, Johns and Sams in their small businesses who are repeated a thousand times over across Canada that are creating jobs. It appears a clear indication that what we call free enterprise in Canada, can operate and expand within the existing framework and législatif of the country. Worth states it is the small and medium sized firms that are beating the pants off larger corporations when it comes to creating jobs. A recent local news release points out that 22 percent of firms in the Oshawa area according to a recent survey by Manpower Temporary Services anticipate, increased employment levels within the next quarter. There is a positive side to the employment picture in Canada and it is the little guy who is doing his part. ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL The Town of Newcastle is toying with a proposal to introduce architectural control in the development of new sub-divisions within the 'municipality. There has been opposition from the housing, development and real estate industry which is quite natural but it must be realized that this proposal will add to the cost of housing in the Town and no matter what the proponents say will drag out approvals. The proposed committee would be composed of representation from the Town's Planning Department, Public Works, the developer, the Region and an architectural engineer. But it must be remembered that the Town's departments will be involved in the planning of sub-divisions and are already in that position. At a recent meeting of the planning committee there was a form of conflict between the Town's departments and a developer of a proposal of a development in the Village of Newcastle. The developer in this case was concerned with the esthetics of the proposal while the Town's department heads were more concerned, and rightly so, with the financial economics of future maintenance of streets and fire protection. It has been pointed out to the planning committee that for every $1000 added to the initial cost of a development that the end addition to the home purchaser becomes close to $3000. Municipal Councils all too often become rip-off artists to the new home owner'and find it quite easy to add extra osts with little value. It appears to us that the architectural control committee would only be one of the municipal rip-offs. * Well known Psychologist to speak at Lung Association specializes in the psychology of Death and Dying. For some. time, he has been a member of a consultation team at York-Finch Hospital, set up specifically to- counsel terminally terminally ill patients and their families. Dr. Fleming feels, that many of the "stages" encountered by those with* terminal illness are also experienced to some degree in any loss situation, and so his topic,"Understanding the patient with life-threatening illness" will be of interest to both medical professionals and members of the public. Durham Region Lung Association's Association's Annual Meeting is . open to all, and will be held on Tuesday, May 8th at 8:00 p.m., in the Drawing Room of Adelaide House Y.W.C.A., 199 Centre Street South, Oshawa. Flora Dora charms local audience The experience* of chronic or terminal illness is one which, unfortunately, must be faced by the majority of people at some point during their lives.

In the course of its work, Durham Region Lung Association Association encounters many people who are having difficulty difficulty adjusting to the facts of chronic illness, and so the choice of Dr. Stephen Fleming Fleming as Guest Speaker at the Association's upcoming Annual Annual Meeting is particularly appropriate. Dr. Fleming, is an associate Professor of the Department of Psychology at York University, where he 1 Ijappnttngs...
