I'm getting squished." It was a peanut. "Never mind, help me," said the candy apple, "my skin is coming off." "Okay, okay!" said the peanut. "Hurry up!" cried the apple. "All right," replied the peanut, "I'm bleeding," said the ap- ple, "Look!" "I see, I see!" an- sw,He,reudrrt:ie up! p panuulti, me to the top," called the apple, "All right!" said the peanut.

"Hello yourself!" the candy apple replied. "How do you like it down here?"-asked the peanut. "Not much," the apple an- swered.: "Why?" asked the peanut. "Kids keep dropping things on me." Suddenly the conversation ended, The child carrying the bag dropped an apple on the peanut and crushed him. - Tony Bridges FUNNY CREATURES Down on Townsend St. there was a streetlight and a telephone pole. They were very good friends. On Hallowe'en night they had a conversation, This is how it went. "Oh look at all those funny creatures", said the streetlight. "Yes" said the telephone pole, "I have seen all those 4-H CLUB The sixth meeting of the "Saucy Saucepans" was held on October 29 at Lori Saunder- cock's home, We opened the meeting with the 4-H Pledge followed by the roll call.

Mr, Taylor made some announcements. - Margie Wise Liberal Leader Robert Nixon introduced an amendment to Premier Davis' Bill which would guarantee Ontario citizens 60 years of age and older, a guaranteed minimum income of $21$09 a month, The original Bill introduced by Premier Davis earlier this month gives each Ontario recipient of the Federal guaran-, teed income supplement, a special $50.00 grant. Robert Nixon's amendment would also guarantee the same amount to those who cannot work because of disability. It would also provide free prescription drugs, dental services, hearing aids and eyeglasses to senior citizens who currently receive free Ontario Hospital insurance Plan coverage and to all those receiving Provincial Family Benefits allowances. Mr. Nixon would have the Province add 50% to guaran- teed income supplements for those receiving it. The same level of assistance would be available to the disabled and to people between 60 and 65 living on old age assistance. This would mean all Senior Citizens and disabled would be guaranteed minimum monthly incomes of $216,09.. "Surely, this Province the richest in the country can assure that those who physically cannot work are given enough financial help that they can live decently," Mr. Nixon said in a statement given to the Ontario Legislature. Premier Davis was criticized for a two year delay in ordering the closing of the Canada Metal Company Lead Smelting Plant, in Toronto. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon said the Premier should be responsible because laws described as an Environmental Bill of Rights failed to prevent three persons from being sent to hospital with high lead con- tent in their blood "these people are now in hospital and the Bill has not provided them with their rights or even their safety". Stephen Lewis joined in the lengthy Opposition questioning of the Government's closed down order aga,inst theJ'Iant. Premier Davis, Resources Development Secretary, Bert Lawrence, Health Minister, Before fresh meat is graded in Canada, it must pass health inspection. A round "Canada Approved" or "Canada" in- spection stamp is applied to all carcasses after they have been inspected by federal govern- ment veterinarians. Edible dyes are used for stamps and grade marks. Richard Potter and Labour Minister, Fern Guindon, were unable to provide answers to Most of the major pinta, Industry and Tourism ' Minister Claude Bennett, in , sistecl that a trade mission would be sent to South Africa despite Stephen Lewis' suggestion that Ontario should not run any risk at any time to do anything which gives sup- port to an oppressive and racist , regime. Mr. Lewis told the Legislature that three of the eight companies represented on the mission had been involved in defense commodity produc- tion in the past but Mr. Ben- nett reiterated that the Ontario Trade Mission would not be selling military items. .,. Ontario Labour Minister Fern Guindon, announced an increase in the Province's minimum wage to $2,00 from $1.80 an hour, effective January 1st, 1974. The minimum wage for con- struction workers now $2.05 will be raised to $2.25 and students under 18 who work 28 hours or less a week during the school year or vacation will be guaranteed $1.65 an hour, the minimum now is $1.45. Mr. Guindon also told the' House he will introduce amen- dments to the Employment Standards' Act to require in- dustries to pay employees for statutory holidays on which they do not work. He said some employees in low I wage in- dustries are forced to take the holiday off but are not paid. Other amendments, Mr. Guindon will introduce, will guarantee employees 4% vacation pay (two weeks vacation) after a year of service rather than 2% vacation pay (one week vacation) the first year and 4% in succeeding years. Overtime at time and a half will be paid for all hours worked in excess of 44 a week, instead of the present 48 effec- tive January 1st, 1975. Mr. Guindon's amendments to the Employment Standards Act would also provide 'four Statutory,. holidays next year, do6d Friday, Dominion Day, Lii.134''W , Day arid' Chriatniaa' Day. An additional three holidays in 1975 were also proposed, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Victoria Day. In- creased payroll costs for firms not already providing the holidays would be 1.6% in 1974 and an additional 1.2% in 1975. The Succession Duty Act was debated this week, The provisions of this Act are of rear interest to the small businessman and the farmer. Under the terms of this Act, a mortgage is not considered as a farm asset and will not, therefore, be considered as part of a $50,000 tax free gift on the death of the father, Par- ticipating in the debate, Murray Gaunt, Liberal Mem- ber for Huron Bruce pointed out, that what this does in ef- fect is to encourage the reten- tion of ownership by the father until his death and confines estate planning to be carried out mainly under the terms of a will. Mr. Gaunt suggested the in- clusion of forgiveness of debts related to the purchase of farm property by a member of the family, would encourage fathers to turn over their farms to their sons during their lifetime rather than on their death. This is the only kind of long term estate planning that makes any sense. It gives the son security he has to have in order to remain on the farm during the father's life time. The expenditure estimates of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Labour continue to be debated by Committees of the Legislature and in the House, FREE DELIVERY Beat the Cool INSULATE NOW!
