A PECULIAR ROOM
Despite the fact that we
have had two years of a
world-wide economic
recovery and boom con-
ditions in the United States,
commodity prices have._,
failed to rise in their
traditional pattern.
In the period from
November, 1982 to August,
1983, commodity prices rose
more rapidly than in two
eras of roaring inflation in
the 1970s. Over the past year,
however, commodity prices
have been trending down.
There are several reasons to
account for this chain of
events. Prices rose precip-
itously two years ago as
inventories were very low
and because of widespread
expectations of inflation. As
well, aglicultural prices
soared because of a severe
drought in the United States
and that government's
"Payment in Kind" program
which curtailed grain pro-
duction.
Now there has been a price
downturn in many com-
modities. One important
cause has been the strong
U.S. dollar, the currency in
which most, currencies are
denominated. At the same
Few speak Gaelic
Despite attempts to revive
Ireland's old language and
literature, Gaelic is spoken
only by people along the
country's western seaboard
and in a few inalnd areas.
Gaelic is written with 18
characters.
Crossroads -Nov. 21, 1984 -Page 17
Canada's
Business
by Bruce Whitesto..ne
time, the rising U.S. dollar
has lured speculators out of
commodities into high -
yielding investments, and
thus another prop to com-
modity prices has been
removed.
In addition, the" cost of
credit has discouraged
businesses from stockpiling
inventories; interest rates
are at unprecedented levels
for this stage of the business
cycle.
Unlike 1983 weather condi-
tions have been favorable for
most agricultural nations.
There has been a boom
harvest in almost everything
this year, so these prices
have not been rising.
These disinflationary
forces were exaggerated by
the need of many developing
nations to meet interest pay-
ments on their foreign debt.
Hence, they stepped up pro-
duction off many com-
modities, most of which were
produced by government-
owned companies, despite
weak prices and a lack of
profitability. In some less
developed nations, the rulers
reportedly have taken a
"royalty payment" for their
O.S.R.'s
Dear_ Mr. Gore:
I recently asked to obtain
copies of all reports concern-
ing my son from the school
board. I+ was informed that I
may look at, but not copy,
everything in my son's
Ontario Student Record
(O.S.R.). I went in to, the
school and was allowed to
see the OSR file, but a person
from the board had to be
present in the room. All of
the testing . and assessments
results were not in his OSR
and will not be made .avail-
able to me. I was the one who
had to fight to getmy son
assessed and now I cannot
even see the reports. Is this
right and what can I do to get
these reports?
Mrs. W.
Dear Mrs. W:,
The Education Act does.
allow you access to your
son's OSR which you have
obtained. No where in the
Act does it say .you cannot
copy or have copies of what
is included.
The Act also does not state
that a board personnel must
remain present while you
are viewing the information.
This is board policy not law.
The Act is very specific as to
what can or cannot be in an
OSR. Assessments and -or
testing results are not
allowed in the OSR, so
boards are compelled to
keep separate files on a child

own use from mining
operations. This provided
another incentive to sustain
output.
Moreover, commodity -
demand patterns are chang-
ing. Many businesses have
been able to keep inventories
at lower levels by means of
computers and this has
resluced the usual inventory
accumulation. Also, volatile
prices in the 1970s have led
many companies to develop
alternative strategies and
substitue products.
Finally, the most recent
recession was both pro-
longed and deep, and that
means that there has to be a
long climb in comsumption
just to return to pre -
recession rates.
One must not lose sight of
the fact that commodity
prices even now are more
than 20 per cent above the
levels of mid -1982. It mustbe
anticipated that if the
economic recovery does not
falter, raw material prices
soon will rise further as a
result of increased com-
modity consumption and,
eventually, a lower U.S.
dollar.
The Warning
Signs
at the board office. These.
files are generally closed to
parents. This, once again, is
board policy.
The concern that the pro-
fessionals at the board have
is that parents do not have
the necessary educational
background and training to
have access. to this inform-
ation. There is a great con-
cern for misuse and abuse of
these reports, which might
hurt the child. There is also
the issue . of confidentiality
from the Ontario Phychol-
ogical Association : which
legislates and regulates reg-
istered psychologists.
In matters of board policy,
I recommend that you "raise
a stink" and continue to do so
until you . receive satis-
faction. In matters of con-
fidentiality, I recommend
that you retain a reputable
person to whom the board
personnel would feel com-
fortable releasing inform-
ation to. Have this person
forward a signed 'release .of
information to the board and
most boards will be happy to
send any and all information
contained in this other file to
that person.
There is a change being

Fred Gore
contemplate,d by the
Ministry of Education, how-
ever. The Ministry is think-
ing about including all in-
formation as a permanent
part of the OSR file. These
OSR are retained long after
a child has completed school
and employers do have
access to these OSR's.
Would you want a 10 -year-
old assessment that states
.your son is distractible and
can not follow directions
available to an employer? If
you do not, contact your local
school board trustee and tell
him or her how you feel.
They are your elected repre-
sentatives and should reflect
your attitudes when making
decisions.

Bill Bramah's Ontario
We met ` Bill Oram the
other day while on a swin
through Northwestern
Ontario. Now 87, he's
thought to be one of thealast
surviving members of the
Royal Northwest Mounted
Police. That's what the
world-famous force was
called before it became the
RCMP.
We had a hard time track-
ing him down. He lives on a
side street in Thunder Bay
with his pet pigeon "Chick"
who perches on his shoulder
and seems to have the run of
Oram's bungalow.
Jenny and myself, along
with Global cameraman Jim
McDonald, spent a morning'
with the active old Mountie
and came away with enough
stories to start a documen-
tary if we'd wanted to.
Corporal Bill Oram Joined
the RNWMP in 1919. He has
pictures showing him on his
horse "Spider" and he looks
very much like the typical
Mounties you see on travel
folders. Another old photo
shows him in the bush on
snowshoes.
Although the blood and
thunder angles about the
force played up in novels and
films have been overdone,
sotne of the glamourous
exploits did occur oc-
cassionally.
Corporal Bill recalls being
sent up the B.C. coast to
track a roan charged with
killing his wife. He found the
woman's body in a burned -
out car that had been run
into a gully and finally got
his man in mountainous
country, miles from the
scene of the crime.
On another occasion, he
prevented a possible murder
when he disarmed a burly
woodsman wielding a knife
at a dance hall in Nipigon.
He says one of the most in-
teresting assignments was in
1921 when he was a security
man during a visit to Canada
by the Prince of Wales, later
Edward VIII. In later years,
when the present Queen was
touring Canada, she asked to
meet this Corporal who had
guarded her uncle.
Corporal Oram served
mostly in the West, but as the
force moved eastward,. he
was . stationed in Fort
William, now Thunder+Say.
When he retired, he
decided to stay there. He has
a few good friends and ,plenty
of memories. Buthe can't
recall ever meeting a
mountie who rode off into the
sunset singing "Rose
Marie".
