As soon as the housing unit in Ontario is purchased or built, an individual may apply to the Minister of Revenue for the payment of a $1,000 grant. In each of the two subsequent years the' individual upon the anniversary of the date of possession, may apply for supplementary grants of $250.00 in eacb year. These supple- mentary grants are conditional ' upon the individual continuing to inhabit the original housing unit as. his principal residence. A grant will be paid to a person who purchases either a 'new or used housing unit for' the first time. Residents living outside of Ontario will not be eligible for the grant if they owned their own homes before moving to Ontario. , To qualify for the grant the applicant must be 18 years of age or over and it must be the first housing unit owned by the applicant. Title in or possession of ' the housing unit must be taken by the applicant during the period of eligibility from ' April 8, 1975 to December ai, 1975 inclusive. The purchase price must be equal to the fair market value and the . applicant or any person who holds title with him are eligible for'only one grant in respect of any housing unit. Application forms may be rermested from -the Ministry of., Revenue by calling Zenith 8-2000. The Government has proposed changes in the liquor regulations for Ontario which would require all bars, taverns and licensed clubs, 'to offer their patrons a' choice of at least milk, coffee and soft drinks, as well a's alcoholic beverages.: The introduction of licenses for recreation clubs and new cabaret licenses :is also proposed. Clubs whose prime function is live entertainment rather than the provision of food, would be permitted to sell less food than is required at present under the law if the proposal for a cabaret license is put into effect. Another new licnese is a patio license which would cover the provision of alcoholic beverages at c,an outdoor site adjoining existing, already licensed indopr premises. Liquor For the first time applicants for liquor licenses in Ontario will be entitled to public hearings undei the new regulations and will also be able to appeal decisions of the Liquor License Board of Ontario to a higher tribunal to be established by the Government. Two permanent advisory committees are also to be efitablished, one to deal specifically with problems related to special occasion permits and another to deal kith overall liquor policy. This week in the Legislature the Minister of Transportation and Communications announced a $436.4 million dollar prograin, which includes work on 849 miles of the Province's highlwys, Some $261.7 million dollars will be spent on highway construction in the , current year. Funds have been made available for the resurfacing of Highway 83 from Russelldale westerly to Highway. 21 •at Brewster. Finance Critic The financial ocritic of the .Liberal Party, James Breithaupt of Kitchener, led riff the budget debate and strongly criticized the ProvinCial Treasurer for the budget which was brought down on, the 7th of April. He 'pointed out that in this budget the Davis Government has, for the fourth consecutive year, .underestimated its spending requirementss. La,st year's predicted spending increase was 14.2% and by the year's end this had jumped to 20.8% The recortt)in the area of deficit financing is' equally bad and by March 31, 1974 the Davis government had addedanore thari $3 billion dollars to the Province's debt. The Province's accumulated net debt had more than doubled in four years from 1.4 billion dollars to $2.9 billion dollars he continued. This year t budget will go into debt by a her ' $1.6 billion - dollars at st, according to the Treasurer. he Treasurer has indicated that this budget is based on three assumptions; early economic recovery in the United States, agreement within Canada to hold the price of gas and oil at current levels and the pursuit of expansionary policies by the Federal Government. All very sweeping assst.mptions based on situations which are, to a greater 'or less extent, beyond the Provincial Government's control. Not Said In a speech to the Brampton Rotary Club last week, Ontario's Labour Minister said "Society is, not completely sold on the concept of equal pay for equal work", and indicated that in his opinion, "the legislation now in effect does as much as society is prepared to accept". As the Minister responsible for employment standards in the Province, which specifically includes ensuring that working Women of Ontario have'the same pay, the.. same status and the same opportunities as the working men of Ontario, his attitude came as a surprise` to many people'. There are now some 1.2 million women in the labour force in Ont ,ario, 61% married and 33% with children. Many women are virtually the head of the family, raising children on their own and in these days of increasing inflation, ,two incomes fire not a luxury but a necessity. The Minister of Labour was questioned in the House about the statement which he had made and in an attempt to explain what he meant by saying society was not completely sold on the concept of equal pay for 'equal work, he turned to the Bible. "Maybe its time" Mr. MacBeth told the Legislature. "that I turned to the Bible, the New Testatment, I think.. You remember the parable about the workers going into the ' field? Well, there weredifferent rates of pay The Labour Minister was interrupted by cries. of disbelief from Opposition Members. , .4,14 • A GOOD SUPPER - Mr. and Mrs. George Campbell, McKillop, Are among the many who enjoyed the ham supper at Cavan Church in Winthrop Wednesday night.The supper is one of the events marking the congregation's 100th - Anniversary this year.

Judge Glenn Hays of Goderich presided. Robert J. Carnoclian, Dennis M'. Smith, Delores F. Beuerman, and Gary. K. Yantha, were fined $53 or five days each for having liquor in a place other than a residence. Herman Klaver, Sr., was fined $40 or four days jn jail for causing adisturbance. Gerald Wilts, was fined $43 for failing to yield, a right of way. Because o' recent ' legislation governing political campaign con- tributions the Perth-Wilmot Liberal Association was split up Wednesday night into two groups one federal, the other provincial. The new law requires separate bank accounts and different treasurers for the two groups. The other executive members will be the same for the two associa- tions. They will also operate under identical constitutions. Ontario Liberal party leader Robert Nixon told the dinner meeting attended by 200 he is confident about the party's future. Mr. Nixon said people were "hungry for an alterna- tive". They aren't looking fora public relations man selling the "big blue machine-one more time", he said. A new executive slate was named at tht meeting. • Honorary presidents are Strat- ford alderman, Dave Bradshaw, an unsuccessful Liberal candidate for Perth-Wilmot in the July federal election and Hugh Edighoffer, MPP for:Perth. Paul Dilks of 127 O'Loane Avenue was named the 1975 president, replacing past- president, Mable Cline of St. Marys: Wilfred Krauskopf of RR 1 Dublin was named secretary. Treasurer for the federal riding is Lyn Myer? of RR 2 New Ham- burg, and in that post for the provincial riding association is Robert Hamilton of RR 2 Staffa. Vice-Presidents are: Robert Holmes of RR 2 St. Pauls; Mary McTavish of RR 1 Stratford; Calvin Innes of RR St. Pauls; John O'Drowsky of St. Marys; Barbara Herman of Milverton; Hugh McDonald of 266 Albert Street; Eileen Rae of 148 Glaston- bury Cres.; Jack Graul Of RR 2 padshill 'and William Somerville of 240 Delamere Ave. Mr. Nixon in his remarks said he was expecting a provincial election next fall but was ready in case one was called this spring. Pointing out the Liberal party ,.has won three of four by-elections called '§ince the last provincial election in 1971, Mr. Nixon told the audience of about 200 that a recent Gallup poll showed the Liberals had a 12 per cent lead over, the Tories. "We -are working to maintain and increase that lead.", The Conservative government reduced the sales tax in. the budget but, "of course they are the people who put it up to seven per cent in the first place," and they would put it up again after the next election. "Bill Davis's record is rotten," he said. A $1,7 billion deficit is expected for the provincial government for 1975. "He had record-breaking deficits. He has added $4.2 billion to the proVince's net deficit since 1971.
