Culture and\Recreatipn Minis-
ter Robert Welch has announced.
that Ontario Will provide 7,506
summer jobs for youths under a
special employment program.
Ontario •Experienee.''75 will be
separate from the regular
summer replacement program
under which approximately
14000 students are hired by
• • various Provincial Ministries and,
agencies. Estimated cost of
Experience '75 is $10.1 million.,
The Youth Secretariat is re-
sponsibje for the overall
co-ordination of the summer
emplO3ment , program including
program development, budget,
evaluation, and the information
function.
The 27 component programs
that make up the Experience '75
package, however, are all
operated through various Minis:
tries of the Ontario Government.*
In most cases, programs are also
run in co-operation , with local,
established agencies such as
municipalities, conservation
authorities, school boards, travel
associations, libraries and
museums.
These local organizations are
involved in their communities on
a day-to-day basis ensuring that
Ontari Experience '75 programs
are responsive .to local concerns,
and priorities. They also have the
necessary , administrative systems
for control and ageountabIlity of
the programs.
"We feel these direct lines of
control and th
e
are
essential if the young people
employed, are going to `gain
• realistic work experience and if
the people of Ontario are to
receive maximum value, for their
tax dollars," Mr. Welch said.
Mr. Welch stressed that
Ontario Experience '75
employees , would be doing jobs
that need to bp done. They will
, be concerned with developing
new initiatives, finding new ways
to deliver services, or adding
innovative nee elements to exist-
ing programs. In effect,
Experience '75 permits agencies
throughout the Province to
accelerate their own responses to
changes 'in our economy and
society.
As the name Experience '75
suggests, young people are `also
gaining valuable work experience
while they do jobs that provide

Every year about this time, I' turn a deep
green, almost a turquoise shade, .with
pure, unadulterated envy.
This is brought about by that fairly new
occasion in school life, known as "Winter
Break," It is a, week's holiday during
March, in which the poor, ground-down
students, near a state of total exhaustion
from not doing their homework, skipping
school, and sleeping at their desks, have a
chance to recharge their batteries for the
terrible, 'gruelling term ahead, during
which they will be worn to a frazzle from
not doing their homeWork, skipping even
more school because the weather is better,
and falling in love because it's spring...
les not that I have anything against
winter break as such, or holidays in
• general. Far from' it. If I had my way, we'd
also have a fall break and a spring break
and school four days a week the rest of the
time.
-My:envy is churned up by the seemingly
limitless opportunities the rotten kids have
these days to see- the world, something I
have desired fiercely since I was about
four, and have never been able to fulfill.

Dr. R. Whitman, Seaforth and
Don MacRae and Matt McCreight
Dublin were among over -1400
delegates representing -electric
utility commissions from across
the, prOvince at the . Annual
Convention of the Ontario Muni-
• Ocipal Electric Association
(0.M.E.A.)
The Association represents
more than 340' municipal electric
'commissions which distribute
electrithl power to two and
one-quarter million (2,250:000)
households in Ontario.
- The program was highlighted
by an addres,s .by "R.B. Taylor,
11, Chairman, Ontario Hydro and a
panel presentation on ,"Rate
Structures - Which One? When?
Why?" Panelists were Roland A.
Kampmeier, Consulting Engineer
of Chattanooga, Tenessee and Dr.
Irwin, M. Stelzer, Economist and
Consultant from New York City.
Both men •are leaders in the field
of utility rate structures. Panel
moderator was A. J. Bowker of
Gloucester, Ontario, refilling
President of 0:M.E.A.
In addressing the meeting, Mr.
Bowker outlined the Association's
increased responsiblity and
activity in developing dialogue
with the various ministries at
Queen's Park since the comple-
tion of the Task Force Hydro
reports. •
Pressures for changes in rates
and methods of distribution of
electric •power, both warranted
and unwarranted, will demand
that the Association become more
active presenting the viewpoint,
An income protection act as
proposed by the Ontario Federa-
tion of Agriculture is not what
farmers in Ontario need accord-
ing to the Executive Board of the
Christian Farmers Federation of
Ontario (C.F.F.)
"Our Executive Board," said
Elbert Van Donkersgoed, Execu-
tive Director of the C.F.F. after a
special meeting at the Federation
*Office in' Drayton on March 1,
4975, "could not endorse the
OFA's ideas on ensuring that
farming will be, financially viable.
"In the first place, the OFA's
motivation in calling for income
protection does not come from '
concern about the situation in
agriculture itself but because the
Government of Ontario must
Move to restrict farmers' rights
Mover the development potential of
their land by land-use planning
and zoning: This proposal is just
another way of demanding com-
pensation for the loss of develop-
ment rights as prime land is
• permanently-zoned for agricul-
ture. • The C.F.F. is opposed to
any form of compensation for
those who speculate in develop- -
*meet rights. Agriculture in
Ontario does not benefit from
speculation and likewise would
not benefit from compensation for
the lost of speculation rights.
"Secondly, the C.F.F. Execu-
tive believes firmly that any kind
of stablization program must be
national in scope to be of true.

tural industry. Before-any more
;provincial programs are
developed we first want to see
• how the amendtritnts to the
Donkersgold against proposal
Federal Agricultural Stablization
Act, first read on February 10,
1975 in Ottawa, will support our
industry. If we follow the OFA's
proyjncial route we may well have
int -provincial stablization
wars.
"Thirdly, if we accept the
principle of a guaranteed income
and profit for ourselves in agricul-
ture then we must also - to be •
consistent - accept this through-
out industry and the, labour force. .,
The OFA may be prepared to
accept such a principle but we are.
not. We favour basic floor prices
just as we support basic welfare
payments. We are not convinced
that it is government's responsi-
bility-to guarantee a businessman
a profit."
Mr. Van Donkersgoed pointed
out that these are the concerns of
his organization's Executive, The
Subject will be dealt with again at
the organization's March Provin-
cial Board Meeting. -
"At that time," he said, ,"we
will find out if this is also the
thinking of our grassroots
membership."
concrete benefits to their com-
munities and the eititens of
Qntario. The program 'spans a
broad range of employment fields
as varied as recreation, culture, '
social service, education, the
environment, law, tourism and
commerce.
This summer, young people
might be found conddcting traffic
studies for a local police force or
staffing a summer legal aid clinic.
They may be providing informa-
tion on Government equal oppor-
tunity programs for women, or
operating their own summer
business. Some will certainly be
clearing roadsides and lakeshores
of litter, while others help local
museums catalogue their collec-
tions. •
These are just a few examples
of the many challenging and
important duties Experience' '75
students will carry out this
summer. In many cases, those
who participate well be able to
directly apply what they are
learning in secondary school,
college, or university to their
summer jobs: They will be
gaining realistic work experience
that should eventually help them
make important career decisions. ,
Mr. Welch pointed out that the
Experience '75 office of the Youth
Secretariat has published a' bro-
chure that describes each pto-
gram and also tells young people
where and how to apply.
This guide is currently being
mailed to all secondary schools,
community colleges, universities,
and Canada Manpower Centres
throughout the PrOvince. In
addition. individual copied can' be
obtained by simply 'writing
Ontario Experience '75, Queen's
Park, Toronto.
"The Ontario Governnient
wants to ensure that every young
person has. equal access to the
many employment opportunities
that Experience '75 offers, " Mr,
Welch said. "We hope many of
Ontario's young mee and women
will find interesting 'opportunities
that utilize their special talents in
the area of public-service."

Now, gentle reader, 'it's 'not as .though

that they sound as though they talk like

And I guess y ou can see that the
foregoing conversation reflects quite
vividly my bitter envy of these young punks
who take off for Moscow and London and
Rome with about as much awe as we used
to have if we were going to spend a
Saturday night in the nearest big town.
Aside from those who are flying to
faraway, exotic placesthat you and I have
only dreamed of, there are the others. Ask
-them what they're doing during winter
break.
Jim: "Oh, I'm jis gonna smash aroun in

more than his father had saved in eight
years for the first mortgage onhis house.
Jeff: "Well, a ,few of us-are-gonna

. hunner-tanad'y bucks for a week." This is
just twice what his father earned a mernih

So. 'Mixed with my envy is a good sqlid
streak of rage. Rage that 'I was born at the
wrong time, in the wrong place, in the
wrong economic climate.
It took me 21 years, and a lot of hard,
cheap labor, and the risking of my life
many times, to get out of this country and
47; see some .of the great cities of the world,
only to find them bleak and blacked-out.
I've been busting my butt ever since,
raising a family and paying off mortgages,
too busy and-too broke to travel.
And yet ... and, yet ... I feel almost sorry
for these kids. It's all too easy.- None of
them can, ever h ave the heart-thudding
thrill I had when I first rolled into'one of the
great stations of, londcin, England.
And none of them can ever have the
heart-thudding thrill I had as I rolled out of
