• As a member of 'the Ontario
Legislature, I firmly believe it
is my responsibility to keep the
constituents of the Huron Riding
informed regarding activities at
Queen's Park. It is, therefore,
my intention and with the consent
and co-operation of the local
newspaper persOnnel throughout
the Riding, to submit a weekly
report outlining the proceedings
of the Legislative Assembly.
The 3rd Session of the 29th
Parliament was opened in its
traditional manner by Lieutenant
Governor W. Ross MacDonald at
which time he read the Speech
from the Throne revealing the
Government's plans for preserv-
ing the province's land,•envirori-
merit and resources.
The major emphasis seemed
to be the Government's concern
for the physical environment and
' the urgent need to control urban
sprawl, protect the green space,
and endeavour to improve the
quality of lifeln general.
A Niagara Escarpment Com-
mission will be delegated the
responsibility o f protecting a
million square miles of land
stretching frop Niagara-on-the-
Lake to the end of Bruce Penin-
sula. parkway belts around
Metro Toronto and good agri-
cultural land will*be preserved
as well. •
There will also be a Royal
Commission enquiry into crim-
inal activities in the construct-
ion industry which was formerly
ear marked for the Toronto area
but upon request of the Opposit-
ion will include all of Ontario.
It very much appears that
Ontario's electoral districts are
to be changed but whether this
will be done in time for the next
provincial election remains to
be seen.
The throne speech included
other matters,such as regenerat-
ion of forest lands and preparat-
ion of idle lands for seeding and
planting; stronger controls on
the 'sale and use of pesticides;
crackdown on trafficking of hard
drugs; improved efficiency in the
courts and elimination of grand
juries; increased ' payments to
workers injured on the-job under
the Workmen's Compensation
Act.
Despite two by-election
losses, Premier Davis intends
to surge ahead with plans for
regional government, east• and
west of Toronto, but he is meet-
ing considerable opposition from
members of the Liberal and New
Democratic parties and I would
haiard to guess that. it will be a
long time coming to Huror
County.
• The Auditor's Report which
has recently been released re-
vealed a number of very interest-
ing matters one of which was the
decision on the part of civil ser-
vants who run the Ontario Health
Insurance Program not to collect
some premiums and to bill others

improperly costing the province
about $55 million.
There • were 80 other major
criticisms of provincial
spending, one of which was use of
Government aircraft by Cabinet
Ministers, Senior Civil Servants
and their families on non-
business trips. Another was the
$3,182 taxi bill from Thomas
Symons when he was chairman of
a Royal Commission on French
language education. There was
also a huge underestimate of the
$29 million cost of Ontario Place.
This week both Robert Nixon.,
leader of the Opposition, for the
Liberal Party andStephen Lewis,
leader of the Opposition for the
NDP debated the Throne speech.
Mr. Nixon criticized the
Government's method of letting
contracts for the construction of
buildings designated for use by
Government Services. To avoid
the situation where some devel-
opers get extremely rich at the
expense of the Ontario taxpayer,
Mr. Nixon strongly iterated that
builder propo_s,als should not take
'precedence over competitive bid-
ding where the contract_ is let to
the lowest bidder, everything else
being equal.
Mr. Nixon singled out G.W.
Moog, president of Canada
Square Corporation Ltd. as one
developer known to be a close
personal friend of the Premier
who is profiting by this friend-
ship.
As an example, Mr. Nixon
cited three cases of Companies
headed by Mt. Moog working for
the Government - 1) Canada
Square, which is building a new
$40 million office complex for
Ontario Hydro' 2) Swiss Granada
Holdings which built facilitieSfor
the Ontario Institute for Studies
in Education and 3) Trans-
america Realty which built the
Transamerica Building holding
the Ontario Educallonal Com-
munications Authority. Each of
these contracts was obtained
through the proposal method.
In the case of the Hydro
Office building which is under
construction, Mr. Nixon said that
Ontario Hydro was leasing prime
Toronto land valued at $7 million
to Canada Square for 30 years
at $1 per year:
" During the . construction'
period of three years, Canada
Square will invest by way of
interest on construction loans a
total of about $6 million. In re-
turn Canada Square is rewarded
by a rental income of almost
$6.1 million every year for 30
years. That is almost $183
million in total. Premier Davis
took exception to Mr. Nixon's
figures and claimed that Canada
Square would make a net profit
of approximately$5million out of
the Hydro deal. However, Mr.
Nixon issued a rebuttal claiming
that many of the expenses of run-
ning the new building would be
assumed by Ontario Hydro and
not Canada Square as Mr. Davis
had said.
one of the items leading to
the large provincial deficit is
that of Medicare. Mr.Nixon
in his • debate to the Throne
Speech, proposed some changes
for Medicare stating that doc-
tors should be allowed to bill
the Province on a fee-for-service
basis but there would be a yearly
limit to the amount the Province
would spend. If the portion of
the health fund provided for phy-
sicians become depleted in the
last, quarter of the year, only
a percentage of the bills would
be paid in that quarter, Mr.Nixon
said. He continued that instead
of placing all doctors on salary,
the fee-for-service principle of
payment would be continued but
with constraints.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Layton,
Bayfield, celebrated their 60th
wedding, anniversary Monday,
April 2, at their home on Keith
Crescent, with open house to a
wide host of friends and neigh-
bours.
' A family dinner party was
held for them on Sunday at-their
home to include their daughter,
Mrs. Gordon (Verna) Hildebrand,
Seaforth, and three sons, Edward
Layton, Clinton, Glen Layton and
Keith Layton, both of R.R. 5,

gratulatory messages received
by the couple were telegrams
from prime Minister Trudeau

Married, on April 2, 1913, at
the bride's home, R,R. 3, Sea-
forth, the couple recalls that
they had 40 guests at their wed-
ding which was followed by a
large reception in the evening.
"Those were the days of rail
fences, hedges, cutters and bug-
gies", said Mr.,. Lkyton. They
took up farming 100 acres of land
at R.R. 3,? Seaforth, where they
resided until 1928, when they
moved to a 200-acre farm at
R.R. I, Brucefield. It was lo-
cated on No. 4 highway and was
purchased from Mr. Layton's
brother, George.

Shopping for a second - or lei-
sure - home has taken on a
new' dirnension for thoUsands of
Americans over age 55. For•
many, that weekend retreat will-
in a few short years - becorne
their retirement home.
While many younger families
are .buying second homes in the
less developed areas, older
Americans are turning increas-
ingly to leisure home projects
where there are more complete
facilities services and ameni-
ties for year-round living.
This trend has actually
speeded up the growth of many of
these developments into full fled-
ged communities - new, small
towns.
One of the major reasons that
many older couples are attracted
to these new leisure-oriented
communities is the blend of all
age groups. As the new towns
grow, residents - especially re;-
tirees - have a great opportu-
nity to take part in civic • and
community activities'.
Arong with a population which
includes all ages, there is a wide
variety of types of housing avail-
able within new leispre communi-
ties - single-family homes, town-
houses, condominiums, and clus-
ter homes.
