As you know, Treasurer barcy
IvICKeough announced on thg 8th
June that the govermnent would
not:bring in legislation this yea
It() establish market value as-
sessment and other aspects of
tabsierty tax reform, as promised.
Ho ;gave no revised timetable,
and-ministry aides have said that
.theTrograrn has been "killed"
forthe foreseeable future, Ac-
cording to a Revenue Ministry
*lel, the Government would
haVe saved up to $25 million if it
had brought in property tax
reform hi 1970, instead of paying
tolStudy it for eight years, then
shelving it indefinitely.
During the last Provincial
lgeglion, the Conservative
Charter for Ontario promised to
,entice the municipal tax burden
frii':*pensioners. Liberal Leader
S> ,art Sniith has asked the
-treasurer to indicate what plans
thetovernment has made to meet
that proMise now that property
tdit, reform has been postponed
(ti(,' cancelled). In his Budget
speech, the. ,Treasurer had an-
tioaneed that basic tax credits for
sailor citizens would be increased
'fairn $290 to $510 when the
nieform was' implemented. As
well, the government Undertook
to' raise the maximum credit • to
$7511. The Premier has promised
'
tliat pensioners' will still get some
relief from property taxts, not ,
with standing cancellation or
indefinite postponement of re-
form.,
There will be a delay of four
months in raising the drinking
age from 18 to 19, in order to
remove apparent inequities for
some students. The Minister of
Consumer and Commercial Re-
lations, Larry Grossman. has
announced that he is changing
the effective date of the new
drinking age from September 1st
as originally planned, to
,. December 31st. Teachers,
parents and students have told
him that the key date for school
enrolment is December 31st, each
year, the object being that all
children born in the same year
would pass through the school
system as. a group. He said "A
September 1st date then, would
have the effect of splitting and
dividing the group of students
born in 1960 into two categories.
although they generally as a
group have gone through the
system together and are for the
most part in the same grade."
Ontario's rent review program
should be continued for two years
beyond the planned expiry date of
December 31st, with the ceiling
on rent increases allowable with-

Tec4ology is moving so fast that maybe we should try
" Making 'a few steps backward. The idea came to me the
other day when I drove past the pioneer -village. On a per-
manent siding was a locomotive, the engine that ran on fire
and water.
The big, blatit monster sits there now, gathering rust I
can clearly remember when there was little in the way of
travel more magnificent than railroad trains. They roared
'through ,the night belching great quantftes of smoke and
steam, threatening instant destruction to all who might im-
pede their progress.
I clearly remember one of the first fatalities I covered as
a cub reporter. An elderly gentleman driving with his wife
and two friends ran into a lumber truck which had stopped
fora train. '
The monster was sitting panting on the tracks when I got
there, burping steam, waiting impatiently to continue its
journey, „
To many people, my father~in4aw for one, they were the
most sublime invention of the Winn mind. As a youngster,
I can recall putting a big penny-remember them? - on the
tracks and waiting in frightened anticipation as the tern-
engine roared-past with an earth-shaking thundrer, the
seven-foot wheels pounding. Every bone tingled with delight.
It was the plaintive, lonely cry of the whistles that linger.
A year ago, the silence of a summer night was shattered
when one of the, only steam locomotives left in action whis-
tled its way through our town. I did not know the excursion'
train was corning through but I sure could have wept a nos-
talgic flood when the whistle sounded.
The whistles-spoke -a-language-of-their own.7-a soulstirring-
language that brought a young man's head up with anticipa-
lion and an old man's head up with memories. Those whis-
Ales caressed the brains of hundreds of thousands of men in
other years, Other times. They could caress and curse, too,
-out a :tearing kept at 6%,
recommends an all-party commit-
tee of the Legislature. After a
long series of public hearings,
and closed sessions, the commit-
tee has come up with proposals ,
for government action which are
similar to the position paper
released recently by the Liberal
Party, The Cabinet has to decide
whether to accept the views of the
Committee. A' NDP policy
'isthat rent review should become
permanent.
Meanwhile, a proposal to raise
the rent of tenants of Ontario's
subsidized housing units to 25%
of their income has been stalled
until fall, according to the
Housing Minister, Claude Ben-
nett. Speaking at s a press cintg
ference following two days of
meetings with federal and pro-
because they opened the wanderlust in the heart of every
rOMailtit, male or female.
I wonder how many heeded the call of the train whistle?
How ,rnany followed the haunting wail from province to pro-
vince, from state to state?
The antiseptic sound of the diesel, whistles seem, not to
echo in the night not even in the hearts of men and women.
Something truly romantic disappeared when the steam
whistles gave way to the business-like diesel horn.
Seine men were so in love with steam locomotives that
they met every train that came into my home town when I
was a kid.
My father-in-law was one of them. He had a railroading
job for a few years early in the Depression but lost the job in
a layoff during those troubled times. He got out of railroa-
ding but railroading never got out of him. He loved .to watch
those trains come and go. I have seen tears of love for trains
well up in his eyes yet he had trouble articulating love for
his children.
There was something about those great monsters of
progress that will .never be forgotten by. those--who .can re-
member them. They were part of this nation of ours, more
so than most other nations.
It was the promise of a' railway from coast to coast which
was instrumental in fulfilling the Canadian dream.
Railways, as Canadians are won't to call them, helped to
forge this-nation and-the great stealn-behernoths made up of
cylinders, valves and rivets became the subject. of many
• great songs and legends in North America.
---I-would sure like-to hear that whistle again re-tive
for a few moments the days Of youth when those trains in
the night prompted dreams and fantasies.
Certainly, the horn of a diesel is as, flat as a platter com-
pared to the whistle of a steam locomotive.

The Minister of Health, Dennis
Timbrell, has announced that
