After a summer which no one can deny as being a typical old fashioned summer, with an abundance of heat and sun- shine, the Ontario Legislature resumed on October 2nd, with very little fan-fare. Premier Davis introduced a bill to establish a Provincial Ministry of Housing. A report from the Task Force on Housing revealed a near crisis in housing in Ontario. It said one of every six families in the Province needed governmental assistance of some kind to secure housing they could af- ford. Mr. Davis indicated that Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the Ontario Housing Corporation were discussing ways to boost housing in 1976-77. As Premier Davis was making a statement about housing a distraught, dark- haired woman was escorted from the Ontario Legislature after she tried to speak out against the Workmen's Com- pensation Board from the visitors' gallery. Premier Davis told the Legislature that he will ask Prime Minister Trudeau to call a Federal Provincial conference to examine the long terni ef- fects of inflation on the Canadian 'economy. The Justice Committee of the Ontario Legislature dropped a clause in a bill to regulate credit information bureaus. The clause would have forced bureaus to notify a consumer when information about him was traded. Two N.D.P. mem- bers of the Committee objected to the change in the bill. The appointment of Civil Servant David Caverly as Chairman of Ontario's En- vironmental Hearing Board to replace John Root (P.C. Wellington-Dufferin) goes part way towards meeting the recommendation ,.,of,. the,,Qarnp., XommissionsonatheiXegisl a titre which said that the Govern- ment should end the practice of having elected members serve on boards and commissions. Ontario pensioners are to get $50.00 each from the Provincial Government this winter accor- ding to a plan announced by Premier Davis. A special act will be introduced to provide annual payments geared to in- flation and this year plans to pay $17 million to low income pensioners, that is single per- sons with an income below $3,100.00 and married couples below $5,400.00. According to Rene Brunelle, Minister of Social Services, the $50.00 payment is an interim measure and will only go to those who receive the maximum Guaran- teed Income Supplement. Revenue Minister Allan Grossman announced that On- tario is to make lower cost mor- tgage money available to builders willing to construct no-frill houses on their own land. First mortgages will be made available at the preferred rate of 8.75 percent to cover 95 percent of the cost of house and land, or the appraised value, whichever is the lesser, The houses must be sold between $15,450 and $18,000. Buyers' incomes must be less than $12,500.00 New Democratic Party Leader Stephen Lewis accused the Government of abandoning an eight month old plan to con- strain medical care costs, Premier Davis replied by stating that the Government had indicated it was developing some form of constraint but had never committed itself to a particular program. Mr. Davis indicated that the Government would have the beginning of proposals that will introduce a degree of restraint in time for the next budget of the Province. The big news this week was the tabling of the Hydro report. The Committee began its in- vestigation in May and it stret- ched over 50 days, involved 2.4 million words df evidence and was one of the most thorough investigations ever at Queen's Park. The Committee dealt harshly with Ontario Hydro officials and the procedures used in giving developer Gerhard Moog the Contract to build Hydro's $44 million head office. The report said Chairman George Gathercole and other members of the Hydro Com- mission were guilty of "an ab- diction of their respon- sibilities". It went on to say that they had failed to guaran- tee that the public interest was being protected in the deal which could net Moog, a close friend of Premier Davis, a profit of $17.5 million over 30 years. The report also found no evidence that Premier Davis assisted Moog in obtaining the Hydro Contract. It said, however that Hydro Officials were aware of the friendship between Moog and the Premier more than a year before the contract was signed. The Com- mittee felt this known friend- ship did influence the letting of the Contract according to the report which states "It is the view of this Committee that it may have been one of the fac- tors which weighed upon ,although-K it must be -gtatedpithat'in- thevievir Hof gOrne members it was a factor." The report indicated Com- mittee Members felt Hydro may have been able to bargain Moog down to a lower rental payment for the building. Moog originally indicated that he would accept respon- sibility for sub letting 20,000 square feet of office area, Hydro ultimately assumed the ^responsibility for the whole of the office space. The definition of cost of the building was key. It will govern the amount up to $45 million which. Canada Square can borrow to finance the project and affect any possible rent rebates to Hydro, available if the building cost less than $34 a square foot. Mr. Moog was allowed to in- sert, elements into costs which Hydro had never contemplated then switched to the term "ap- praised value", a definition which plagued the Committee in its hearings because it was never clearly defined. The Commissioners were ad- vised that Mr. Moog was reneging and allowed him to do so, Hydro thereby lost not only benefits of the earlier agreement but, also exposed it- self to the possibility of Moog raising $45 million against the security of the building• without investing that amount in the building and without abatement of rental to Hydro. The Committee also found that the answers to Liberal Leader Nixon's questions in the Legislature were in part "significantly misleading". The report also found that John Cronyn, a London businessman and the Chairman of the Government Reorganization Committee, was the person who phoned Donald Smith, President of Ellis-Don but, that no threat was in fact issued. In summary the Committee found that there was no com- petition and that Canada Square was the only company given serious consideration by Hydro. The Legislature has been giving consideration to the estimates of the Ministry of the Environment, Natural Resour- ces, and Social and Community Services. Congratulations go out to Charles MacNaughton for his recent appointment to the Board of Directors of Redpath Industries. The fall session of the On- tario Legislature will likely continue until the Christmas recess in which case I will spend the entire week exclusive , of Saturdays and Sundays in Toronto. If there are problems which you are encountering that I may be able to assist with then I would suggest that you either contact my home by telephone any day of the week preferably during the eveni gs or pay a visit to my hom on the weekends. I am situate on No. 83 highway 4 1 /2 miles west of Exeter and my telephone number is 237-3431. I welcome any call and I will be pleased to render any assistance that I can. Mrs. W. Haugh and Mrs. N.

Grade 8 Field Trip On September 26, the grade eight class at Hullett Central School toured through the "Stone Farm" in the conser- vation area of Hullett Town- ship, with Mr. V. Elliott from Exeter as their guide. While wandering through the bush and swamp, they learned many new facts about plant life in the bush. Although the field trip was only a few hours, they en- joyed it tremendously, and now, they can identify many more plants and trees than they could before. Weed Study On Thursday, October 4, Mr. Talbot's grade 4 class went for a field trip to study weeds. They walked about a mile and a quarter east from the school Mr. Elliott from Exeter ac- companied the class. He talked about weeds and how the seeds scatter. Miss Roney's grade 5 class took the same field trip on Friday, October 5. Both classes found the trip interesting and enjoyable.
