The Third Session of the Twenty-Eighth Parliament has resumed after a lengthy sum - mar recess with a considerable amount of work to be done. The moment the Legislature' opened, the Government House Leader rose and made a state.: ment 'on behalf of the Premier. • The announcement included two main programmes which in- cluded tax relief for pensioners and farmers. Before the end of 1970, all farmers in Ontario will be receiving a direct payment from the Government equal to • 25% of their net 1970 property taxes. While the programme is designed to help all farmers, owners of properties of less than 11 acres must have a gross income of $2000 from the farm- ing of the land to be eligible. The Provincial Treasurer esti- • With the 'annual CNIB cam- paign now in progress questions about blind people are more fre- quently asked of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. 1. What is the most comlnon cause of blindness? Eye conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma cause II the majority of blindness in Canada. 2. Do all blind people get a pen- sion? Not To be eligible for an allowance in Canada, a person must be legally blind and have reached the age of 18,and not yet t 65 and pas s the means' test set • down by the Department of Social and Family" Services of the Government of Ontario. 3. When is a person legally blind? When he has no more than 10% of normal vision in his better eye after the best possible cor- rection. • 4. Why do some blind people wear dark glasses? For pro- tection, or to restrict bright light that can disturb or for cosmetic reasons. 5. Can blind people distinguish by touch Canada's paper cur- rency? Some blind people have e enough sight to tell the different colours of our dollars but it is not possible to tell the difference by touch. 6. Where is there a school for the blind? The Ontario School for the Blind is in Brantford and is A operated by the Ontario Govern- ment Department of Education and provides schooling up to and including Grade 12. 7. Are there any blind people in University in Canada? Yes - there are currently more than 200 blind students in our Univer- sities. 8. Do the blind hear better than sighted people? No, not neces- sarily although many blind people pay more attention to what they hear but the hearing does not improve with the loss of sight. 9. Is it advisable to help blind people on the streets? Most of the blind people appreciate help in crossing streets but it is re- commended that you offer your arm for guidance. Most blind people prefer to be led, not pushed. CNIB suggests blind people need understknding, not sym- pathy. Blindness does not make a person different. It means that in some ways it is necessary for blind., people to do things in a different , manner. Above all remember, blind people are people. The campaign in the Seaforth district is being carried out in co-operation with the Sight Con- servation Committee of the Sea- forth Lions Club. Gifts may be returned by mail or may be left at a Seaforth Bank. leagues - after madi discussion- in voting against this Bill as it just, scratched the. surface in principle. As the public consists of labour unions, employers and people other than labour unions and employees, we felt we mist consider this Bill mainly in the public interest. We suggested that the Minister consider estab- lishing a joint committee of con- Struction trade employees and Goveriiinent and sit down to dis- cuss the present problems. Be- cause of this legislation, I witnessed one of the largest demonstrations outside the Parliament Buildings with con- struetienJworkers coming all across the province by the thou- sands. The Committee of the Whole House and the Estimates Com- mittee have been discussing the estimates of the Department of Education, Health and Treasury. I noted with interest that the Minister of Transport stated that the Government has no intention to appeal the decision of the Can- adian Transport•Commission to discontinue passenger train ser- vice in our area. It is pos- sible, however, under Sectionlit3 of the Railroad Act for any interested party to appeal the decision. This can be done first to the Governor-General-in- Council and, secondly, to . the Supreme Court, of Canada. This appeal should be made within one month but could be enlarged by a Judge. Accidents Can Be Prevented Now that corn harvesting has begun, extra care must be taken to avoid, crippling injury from harvesters, says Oscar Snyder, Farm Safety Coordinator with the Farm Safety Council of Ontario. Already this year one operator has lost a foot because the har- vester was left running while a plugged corn nose was cleared. Equipment stibuld always be turned off for eve n the most minor repair work. By following this rule the numerous corn har- 'vesting machine accidents that happen every year can be elimin- ated. Farmers who have always kept their machines running and have not yet suffered an accident should not be fooled into think- ing their luck will hold, says Mr. Snyder. An arm or a leg lost can mean the end of farm- ing for a vlctom. THE cruR9 . goporrot... sgokf9.**f OPI OCT, X2f.

The other programme has followed the promise of the Budget Speech last Spring that there would be $10 Million 'set aside for tax relief for. Senior Citizens who receive the Federal Guaranteed Income Supplement. The pro- posed plan will allow recipients to receive a basic $50 to apply to their taxes and where there is husband and wife in the household the payment could be enlarged to $100. The Provincial Treasurer also stated that this proposal could involve an expenditure of $17 Million. Several pieces of Legislation have confronted the Legislature but the one Bill that has received the most debate was Bill #167 - An Act to ame.nt the Labour. Re- lation Act.
