It is estimated that the cost of
an average 1976 passenger car
over 1971, model year price will
be up by $873 with $350 of that
amount for emission controls and"

executive -:vice president and
general manufacturing manager
of General Motors of Canada
Limited, told a combined meeting
of service clubs here today..
"You"should realize that none
pi this extra money really comes
out of the industry's pocket," Mr.
Barbeau said. "If a car costs that
much more to build, then the
customer is going to wind up
paying ''
rn ad'ctirtforioit.ri to the -increased
direct cost of vehicles, Mr.
Barbe,au pointed out that
maintenance costs on proposed,
emission controls would cost an
estsinated $65. per vehicle per
year and an undoubted loss in fuel
economy, perhaps ,eventually as
much as 20 percent. •
-It is not a question for the
industry to answer, but the
consumer should anssw ri't while
there is still time= -and time is

On Wednesday. April 12 at their
'Annual Viniy Banquet Branch 109
,of the Royal Canadian Legion
honoured •twenty-nine World War
I veterans, of the district. 10 of

Guests at the head table
included the Zone Commander of
the Lades Auxiliary. .Mrs. H.
Carrol, Mayor H.. Worsell: the the •Branch Padre, Rev. G. L
Commander of District, C, R. Royal.
Russel, the Zone Commander. T. In his address, the speaker
Elliot and Canon K. E. Taylor. stated that it was the servicemen
.former- padre of Branch 109. of the . First World.. War who
Guest speaker . Rev. 0. established the image of the
Crawford Smith, a former padre ordinary , Canadian soldier and
of the Perth Regiment during', created a set of special qualities
World War P. was introduced by which were inherited by the
• Canadian serv^inemen of World
War 1I, These traits each of
which the speaker humourousl.y
illustrated were endurance,
discctpline, friendship.. the ability
to improvise, . and a sense -of
.humour.- "It is these special
characteristics", stated the
former padre, "which has,
-enabled the veteran .to carry on
since leaving the service and 'it is
th'4se qualities which. we must,
.'pass onto those, who. are to follow
in these uncertain days of 'the
post-war period."
Chairman of the Vimy Banquet
was ;Branchia 1'09, :President G.
ost even more
"our 1974 programs."
In the past 10 years,„ Mr.
"Barbeau told,' his audience,
• hydrocarbon emissions have been
reduced 80percenrfrom new cars
and carbon monoxide by 65
percent.
"'We have literally reached the
point that if all theautornobiles on
the road were as good as the cars
we are building today, the air
would be back to the level it was in
1940.'•'.
Studies indicate that if all .cars, -
trucks and buses were removed
from the road about 60 percent of
the air pollution problem—
measured solely by weight—
would still remain,,
Itisprte-of-this4eeo li-s'herent
"the U.S. Government which, in
- effect, sets the standards for all
cars sold in North America...now
demands an additional 9Q percent
reduction of emissions over' and
above those reductions I have just
described by 1975'and 1976'."
Turning to safety, Mr. •Barbeau
• listed safety developments from
' GM ranging from energy-
absorbing
nerg -
absorbing steering columns to
side -guard beams and from seat
covers to laminated
windshields—all accomplished
and introduced well in advance of
legislation.
Seat belts and shoulder
harnesses ,if they are • used.
correctly can be an important
factor in the prevention of
injuries, Mr. Barbeau suggested.
• "The best statistics we can obtain
suggest that about 35 percent of,
Canadiansuse their seat belts and
Low and the speaker was thanked only three to four percent use
by Past President J. Seaman. their shoulde'r harness.

• Later, Mr. Barbeau said: "One
is tempted to ask if future
legislation aimed at safety; on the
highway .should not be' .more
concerned with . the saving of
human''' 'iiv°esr' and less with
•gadgetry"
:`It is a little frustrating to
people in our, industry to think how

Safety authorities tell us that as
many as 5,000 people could be
killed in Canada this year in
highway accidents,
"There• alight be legislation
aimed at tete removal ft'om the
highways of unsafe; cars by
inspection and repair
procedures. And t do not think it
would be unreasbnable that the
use of seat belts should be made
'mandatory, it .has , been' done
ready in tho State of. Victoria in
Australia and has increased the
tsagerate of belts to 75 percent.
