FUNERAL HOME
370 WILLIAM ST. 235-1220 EXETER
While on a holiday recently I celebrated my birthday
and my wife presented me with a set of very nice cuff-
links which she had purchased from a store in Montreal.
She was under the impression that she had a "real
bargain" because a sale sign in the store window claim-
ed that they had been marked down from $40 to $25,
Yet the other day in London we saw exactly the same
set for $4.95. To say that we are mast annoyed is to put
it mildly.
How can there be such a great difference in price for
the same item?
The store where your wife bought the cuff-links is guilty of
a type of misleading advertising, known as pre-ticketing. This
can occur in two ways: the manufacturer sets the price too
high and the retailer simply sells the product at the suggested
(exorbitant) price; or when the retailer sells at less than the
very high list price but marks the price tag in such a way so as
to appear to the customer that he is buying at a discount.
This practise is outlawed by Section 36 of the Combines
Investigation Act. The retailer in question will likely be liable
to a fine and prohibited from continuing this practice.

A friend borrowed my car fora "camping trip ". Since
i have known him for years I had no qualms about him,
however he used my car to smuggle narcotics across the
border and was caught. My car is now confiscated.
Can i get it back, and if so, how?
The Narcotics Control Act provides for its return or a cash
renumeration equal to your interest in it,
In order to avail yourself you must opply to a county court
judge within 30 days of the confiscation in the county where
the car was seized, The judge will then seta dote fora hear-
ing, whereupon you must serve notice upon the Minister of
National Health and Welfare not later than 15 days before
the hearing date, At the hearing you must show the court that
you are innocent of any complicity in smuggling narcotics and
that you acted reasonably in lending your car, If you're
successful the judge will issue a declaratory order stating that
your interest in the car is undiminished,
The next step is to apply to the Minister of Health and
Welfare and the car will either be returned or you'll get a
cash equivalent, -
The procedure is time-consuming and even if you act
promptly you'll probably be without your car for at least a
month. (lf the car is used as evidence it maybe longer),
Remember, too, that if you do not act within the thirty days
as set out in the Act you could,lose all interest in it-

By JACK RIDD1=1.1. M.P.P,
The provincial government of
Ontario employed 70,877 civil
servants in 1974 to administer the
day to day affairs of this
province. In the last decade or so,
government administration has
become a more and more com-
plex, sophisticated and costly,
labour-intensive "industry",
In his latest "mini-budget"
July 7, 1975, the Treasurer of
Ontario, Darcy McKeough an-
nounced an immediate freeze on
replacement staffing for all in-
ternal administrative functions.
With normal attrition, this should
result in 1,500 fewer personnel in
these areas by the end of the
fiscal year 1975-76. At the same
time, Mr. McKeough also an-
nounced an immediate
moratorium on new or renewed
contracts for management
consulting and organizational
planning.
This will mean that the total
civil service complement in
Ontario in 1975-76 will be 69,221,
The Ministry of Health is the
largest employer within the
provincial government with a
staff of 14,643 people in 1975.
Transportation and Com-
munications employs 11,607
people this year, Community and
Social Services 9,139 people,
Correctional Services 5,056, The
Ministry of Natural Resources
has a staff of 4,182, Revenue
3,992, The Ministry of the Attorney
General 3,327 and Government
Services employs 3,143 people,
Just 25 years ago, in 1950 the
total number of civil servants in
the employ of this province was
13,685, By 1960, this number had
grown to 32,302 - an increase of
236 percent. As of 1970 this
number had almost doubled
again to 62,280. From 1970 to the
present year the number of
Ontario civil servants has in-
creased to 69,221.
It is interesting that while
Ontario's civil service com-
plement (and all the other
provinces') has increased
dramatically, the Federal
Government civil service for
years now has accounted for a
declining portion of the laboUr
force as well as a declining
portion of total government. It is
in the provinces and the
municipalities where the large
increases in civil service staff is
taking place.
Within the federal government,
it is the same few departments
that dominate the public service
today as in the 1960's. The Post
Office accounts for 19 percent of
the public service, National
Defence's civilian workers for
another 15 percent, National
Revenue for 8 percent, Tran-
sportation 7 percent, that ac-
counts for 49 percent of the federal
-public service in those four
departments.
There are now about six or
seven government employees for
every 100 Canadians - and that
figure continues to climb. But it is
climbing at the same rate and in
step with the Canadian labour
force. The reason the 'labour
force is a growing part of the
population is the changing mix of
age groups - there are more
people of working age compared
with those below working age.
But the government's total share
of the labour force remains
rernarkably constant, at about
one in six of all Canadians with
jobs.
Statistics are difficult to obtain-
especially at the municipal level -
however it has been estimated
that as of 1973 there was a grand
total of about a million and a half
government employees in
Canada - at all three levels of
government. This is about 7
percent of Canada's total
population and about 17 percent
of all Canadians who have jobs.
This figure of 1,5 million
government employees breaks
down as Federal level

If these earlier figures are
extrapolated to 1986 - just slightly
more than 10 years away, the
breakdown of the public service
would look something like this:
Federal level 640,000; Provincial
level 800,000; municipal level
700,000, making a total Of
2,140,000,
That's a lot of civil servants! l
It works out to slightly over eight.

on Saturday,

Canadians but still about 17
percent of those forecast to have
jobs.
It is interesting to note how the
mix has changed between the
three levels. According to these
figures in 1986, the provincial
governments will account for 37
percent of the total civil service
compared with 32 percent in 1973.
The federal government's share
will have decreased to 30 percent
compared with 35 percent in 1973.
The municipal governments'
share stays steady throughout
this time period. It is the
distribution between the federal
and provincial levels that in-
creases steadily on provincial
side.
The growth in Ontario's civil
service over the last decade or
two is certainly indicative of this
trend. It would seem that all
governments - the provinces
particularly, should heed the
warnings of such groups as the
Economic Council of Canada.
The Council is warning govern-
ments to slow down their rates of
growth and not let their rates of
growth become another
stimulant to inflation.

an average 1,0 percent per year,
provincial government em-
ployment at an average 6.9

percent per year. So it is evident
that it is at the provincial level of
