Wyatt, who spoke recently to the Goderich Rotary Club, said the governments, the oil companies and the public must share their concerns and needs and resolve what is best for the nation in terms of future energy needs. Wyatt said current energy sources in the country will be depleted within the next five years and Canada will be forced to import much of its oil and natural gas. He said the country has rich deposits that can far exceed present needs but social a,,,nd economic problems in Ihe nation are making it very difficult if not impossible to discover and mine those deposits for domestic use. He said the country faces some formidable obstacles if Canadians are to work together to resolve the situation. The economic picture in Canada is not pleasant and industry is being forced to back off from major new investments because of weak markets, excess capacity and poor profits, Bitterness and hostility'has developed between federal and provincial governments over several issues and morale in the community is down. People are very negative toward institutions such as government, business, _labour and education. Wyatt said that if Canadians are to correct the We pick the best quallty meats for your rnoney!

No. 1 Clear Creek problems they will have to unite and make a strong and lasting effort to change at- titudes. He pointed out that mistrust has developed recently between the public and oil companies. He said many Canadians feel oil companies are gouging them and raking in exorbitant profits. He explained the oil companies get a very small share of the proceeds from a gallon of gasoline. He said after costs of refining and transporting have been taken off the companies make about one cent profit. The gover- nment grabs 48 cents in taxes and royalties. The oil companies face huge investments to secure energy resources for the future because of the locations of the deposits and the huge costs of exploration. Wyatt said that much of the oil is in very hos*ile terrain and the time, effort and costs of finding it, processing it and transporting it' mean that governments consumers and companies are going to have to develop a strong plan to carry Canada through developmental periods aimed at energy independence. He said the country has enough oil and natural gas to meet domestic needs far into the future but Canadians must develop and keep faith in business and government. He said Canadians must all be practical enough to know what must be done and then do it immediately. Jack's Jottings... continued from page o laying off staff. Sixty-four "unclassified" workers at five psychiatric hospitals have been given notice, four - Queen's Park staff have been laid off, the Windsor office of the Ontario Health Insurance Plan has been demoted to a sub -office. Total savings are estimated at $2 million. Thirty-one of the 64 laid -off hospital workers are full-time and 33 part-time. They in- clude nurses, food -service helpers, 'a cook, cleaners, manual workers, a swit- chboard operator, a laundry worker and an occupational therapist. The Windsor regional office of OHIP, which has a staff of 51, will be converted to a sub - office with a staff of five after December 31. Twenty-seven employees have been offered jobs in London next year, and the other 19 will be subject to lay-off. In a statement to the Royal Commission on th,E.Northern Environment, Reed Ltd. suggested. it will not be able to go ahead with a plan to harvest 19,000 square miles north of Dryden. Unless the company can make a better profit than its present situation suggests, it will not . be able to proceed with its proposed mill. (The company is said to be losing $20 million this year.) The Minister of Natural Resources has told the Legislature that there is little hope for this project. The pulp industry is in trouble .financially because of world over -supply and dumping on the market by Scandinavian countries. You will recall that a memorandum of agreement signed by Reed and the Government last year would have given the company timber rights in a huge tract of land arid allowed a mill in' the Red Lake area if the environmental, social, cltltural and economic impact on the North was not found to be too high . a price to pay . The Royal Commission was established as a result of strong opposition from ourselves and the NDP to this controversial memorandum of agreement. Following Reed's recent statement, Liberal Leader Stuart Smith suggested possible alternatives were for another company to build a mill, with timber rights going in smaller. parcels to several companies who would all use the mill, or permitting smaller operators to use existing mills and -or build small-scale new mills. The Minister believes it is unlikely that any new pulp mill could survive in today's economic conditions unless it had access lo all the timber from the area under study.
