In my dealings with the overweight over the past ten years, I have heard some of the silliest excuses ever for not losing weight. We blame the scales, we blame the weight of our clothes. I've seen people practically strip off in front of others in order to weigh a pound less at that crucial weigh-in! Metabolism is another excuse. We overweights know our metabolism is different from anyone in the world, When our doctors try to dis- suade us, we know something they don't know, right? Some of us have the bones of a horse, we say, even though our wrists are dainty. Slender wrists are a dead giveaway, indicating the rest of the body is overweight and nothing else, We rationalize that our husbands like us this way, or our kids love a cuddly mom. Then why are they ashamed to have us at "Open House" at school? Famous painters in the past depicted women as pink and voluptuous, but that's no consolation. Those models of Titian or Rubens must have had such high blood pressure, their pink cheeks were flushed from overweight, not female beauty! Perhaps your excuse is that nature meant you to be this way. Did you get this confirmation in direct discussion with Mother Nature? If so, does she intend to protect you from the accompanying dangers of heart disease? Some of us eat like birds, but it turns to fat, I know only too well the dainty little pecks of food, pecks while clearing the dishes from the table, making the kids' lunches or straightening up that uneven piece of pie, Birds are pecking all day, a grain of this, a seed of that. Not in the same league as the extra hundreds of calories we consume with our absent minded nibbling. No, there is no real excuse, unless you want to stay fat all your life, If that's the case, don't talk about dieting again, no one wants 10 heat about it, Don't bother making excuses, this is a case where actions speak louder than words, and a slim, healthy you will be the direct result.

This letter was in- tended only for the members of the Conservative Caucus but by mistake Mr. Spence was sent the letter as well, Mr. Spence rose in the Legislature the same' day he received the letter and directed the following remarks to the Premier: "This is a remarkable change of operating policy on the part of the Premier who has never before asked the opinion of MPPs even those of outstan- ding ability outside his own party. Obviously the policies which have been devised by the Tory Caucus have proven ab- solutely bankrupt and the Premier must now turn finally to the more experienced mem- bers of the Legislature for guidance". Mr. Spence made the following recommendations to the Premier: 1. Return control other than planning, co-ordination and borrowing to area municipalities and reduce costly Queen's Park inter- ference by making all grants unconditional rather than 90% conditional as at present. Queen's Park should only in- troduce broad guidelines such as the prohibition of the development of good agricultural land, strip development and destruction of important natural features. The Government should also provide for effective pollution control. 2. Implement the measures proposed by Robert Nixon in his Reasoned Amendment to Bill 196 which called for a guaranteed minimum income of $216.00 per month for all per- sons 60 years of age and over. Remove the Provincial sales tax from building , materials and return the retail sales tax rate to 5%. 3. Allow bidding for all government control projects and purchases by open tender only. Institute a program of moving Government Depart- ments and bodies away Queen's Park to decentralized locations in the Cities and towns of Ontario. "I am most pleased that the Premier has finally seen fit to make use of the great knowledge and experience which the Private Members of the Legislature bring to Queen's Park," said Mr. Spence. "I hope that the Premier will now make a prac- tice of consulting Members of all Parties regarding' policy matters and I hope that the policies that T have outlined will prove of some assistance to the Government," Premier Davis told the Legislature that as of September 1 1973 the Premier, Cabinet Members and senior Public Servants will not use Government chartered planes for trips unconnected with Government business. The announcement appears to end for the time the controversy which began in March when the Provincial Auditors report revealed that ministers, senior public servants and their families were making trips on Government planes inside and outside Ontario, Subsequent testimony before the Public Ac- counts Committee revealed some Ministers made regular use of Government aircraft for trips back to their home ridings on weekends. Premier Davis has paid $21,856.00 to the public purse in return for per- sonal trips by himself, his family and friends on Govern- ment or Government chartered aircraft from April 1, 1971 to March 31, 1973. The Ontario Government has adopted a new sytem to reduce the time required to process 1974 motor vehicle registration renewal sales, Motorists will be able to renew registration by mail or in person with a reduc- tion in paper work. They need only sign a form declaring that they are insured and will not have to present proof of in- surance as in the past. They will then be given a special tag with an adhesive for fastening to 1973 license plates. Registration fees for passenger vehicles remain the same as last year but the sur- charge imposed on uninsured drivers has been increased from $15.00 to $40.00 to provide greater support for the unin- sured motor vehicle funds. The sales begin December 1. Ontario Health Minister, Richard Potter, took the $2.1 billion spending estimates of his,Ministry to She,,Legistature committee and' was criticized quite severely for not taking his position seriously and for not honouring commitments that he had made some time ago. The Health budget is the highest of any Ministry and in- cludes $599 million in Ontario Health Insurance Plan Payments to doctors. The commitments made by Dr. Potter but not yet honored include a restraint package of proposals to limit amounts paid to doctors under the OHIP plan, Dr. Potter was reminded that the Justice Ministry had enough evidence to prosecute several physicians who treated too many patiente in a day and over charged for services but as yet no doctors had been charged,. Nor have charges been laid against denturists who by legislation passed June 27, are forbidden to deal directly with the public. Dr. Potter indicated that he was giving denturists a chance to qualify as dental therapists - allowed to work under the supervision of a den- tist - before the Government prosecuted them for carrying on their business. Dr. Potter justified a 2.6 million dollar in- crease in expenditures over last year ,because of expanding home care and extended care programs. He said the Province has broken the escalating pat- tern of health costs by limiting its increase in spending this year to 6%, by its moratorium on new hospital construction, and by removing or reclassifying 1600 active treat- ment beds in hospitals in On- tario. Ontario has a doctor for every 600 people on the average, Dr. Potter said, but in some areas is short of general practitioners, He said Im- migration laws in the future may have to be changed to license newly arrived doctors only in areas of the Province where they are needed, Medical schools too should be en- couraged to train fewer specialists and more family physicians according to Dr. Pot- ter. Ontario Energy Ministry Darcy McKeough announced in the Legislature a $300,000 ad- vertising campaign to push voluntary conservation of energy by the public as various Provincial and Municipal an- nounced plans for reducing their consumption of oil, elec- tricity and other energy sup- plies. The Government's' plans for conserving energy include replacing large cars in its fleets with compacts whenever new purchases are made. Mr. McKeough told the Legislature that Ontario has enough natural gas, coal, electricity and crucip gt*kifFom -0 West ern Canada for its own immediate needs but with indications that Eastern Canada will receive barely sufficient imported Mid- dle East oil to meet demands. He said Ontario must face up to the fact that some of our domestic oil supply will and should be diverted if necessary to other Canadians. The advertising campaign will be supplemented by a memo from Education Minister Thomas Wells to all Boards of Education in the Province suggesting ten ways to conserve energy. Industry and Tourism Minister Claude Bennett, is preparing a similar memo to in- dustry. During the debate in the Legislature on Education estimates, Ontario Education Minigter, Thomas Wells, an- nounced what could be the beginning of a swingback to compulsory courses for secon- dary school students. Mr. Wells said students star- ting in a secondary school ' program next September will need four credits in English and two in Canadian studies to get a diploma. His announ- cement followed growing criticism that ending com- pulsory courses a year ago has allowed students to avoid achieving basic literacy in English. Mr, Wells said in the future the student will be able to pick his courses after fulfilling cer- tain basic course requirements. He added that this is essential if education is to be developed equally for all children, not just those bound for Universities. He emphasized, however, that students must learn to read, write and do arithmetic because the three r's still con- stitute the price of admission to our adult society and no child should pass through our schools without acquiring those skills, Energy Minister Darcy McKeough told the Legislature that Ontario will not enforce stringent Federal regulations governing automobile exhaust emissions. He said control devices installed in autotnobiles which increase gasoline consumption may be desirable or necessary in sonic parts of North America but they are unnecessary in some parts, maybe all of Canada. He indicated that they may make sense at the corner of King and Bay streets, in Toronto but they ate stencilling that we simply cannot afford while we have an energy problem.
