The uproar started when Education Minister, Tom Wells, introduced emergency legislation for compuleoey ar- bitration to forestall the threat of a January teachers' strike. Mr, Wells admitted that un- certainty over the future law to govern teacher trustee negotiation was one of the con- tributing factors in the 17 disputes where strikes are threatened. Bill 274 as originally in- troduced would nullify letters of resignation subMitted November 30th by 7890 teachers in contract disputes with the 17 Provincial school boards. Mr. Wells later promised amendments to the legislation so that instead of totally revoking resignations that teachers in 16 areas have already submitted it would now say that it cannot become effec- tive until August 31st, next year. These changes failed to block the criticism of the teachers and the opposition to the Bill. On first reading of the Bill the NDP opposed the Bill with the Liberals joining with the Government. It is a normal and accepted procedure for all Par- ties to agree to the first reading of a bill. It is only after first reading that Members havS an opportunity to read and study the Bill in order to understand fully its implicationd. The second reading of a Bill is a debate on the principle and, at this stage the Opposition joined forces in the hope of con- vincing the Government to withdraw the Bill because of the many unworkable and distasteful features of the proposed legislation. Opposition members stated that the Bill would do more to destroy good faith bargaining between teachers and school boards than any other piece of legislation ever introduced to deal with this subject. The Government refused to withdraw its amendments to the Planning Abt, d'eapite Op- position membdie' dhlection, to it. The objectiofi'6'entred around the haste with which the Bill was being pushed through and the nature and scope of some of the far reaching changes. The Bill in- troduced last week will in part allow Municipalities to validate property titles clouded by a land division practise known as checker boarding. It also delegates 38 Provincial powers to regional govern- ments. As the Planning Act was being debated, Jim Bullbrook and Robert Nixon sitting on the front benches of the Liberals started discussing how the Act had been amended before Third Reading. They could not find where the Bill had been printed on the Order Paper and recalling that there was something in the 4gislature rules that said a Bill had to be printed before it could be given Third Reading, Mr. Bullbrook stood and gave that as a point of order, Speaker Allan Reuter agreed and said discussion bad to _ad- journ until a printed copy of the Bill was available. Bert Lawrence, Provincial Secretary of Resource Development, challenged the ruling ignoring the fact/ that Renter is a Con- servative MPP and chairs the Legislature debates by appoint- ment of the Premier. Four members, including the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Natural Resources stood in the House in support of Bert Lawrence's challenge, So the Bell rang to call in the members for the vote. It would appear that someone had a nice firm chat 'with Lawrence as the Members gathered and when the rolicall was held all 87 MPP's present, including Lawrence voted to uphold Mr. , Speaker. The Select Committee on the utilization of Education facilities recommended in its second interim report that the Ontario Government should move toward year round use of schools to increase flexibility and availability of education rather than to save money, The 28 page report also concludes that no single scheme for year round use should be imposed throughout the Province and any changes should be ap- proved by the local community affected. The Committee repeated recommendations that it made in June, suggesting that school operating costs should be calculated for the whole calen- dar year, including the cost of free use of schools by com- munity groups. It also recom- mended that Ministry of Education grants be calculated on the basis of these total costs. Their report concluded by saying that there is no one plan for reorganization or rescheduling the academic year on a Province wide standar- dized basis, but the Province 'should work towards a year round educational system.. Energy Minister Darcy McKeough indicated to the Legislature that Ontario is likely to favor a move to daylight saving time this winter although the energy saving from such a move would probably be negligible. He said however, there were obvious economic implications in terms of industrial time tabling, television, radio, transportation schedules, stock exchanges and so on, He felt these factors favored Ontario's aligning it- self with the United States in time terms. Gordon Carton, Minister of Transportation and Com- munications announced that the Ontario Government has decided to halt construction of the Brantford Expressway because of the Public Outcry and data showing the ex- pressway was not needed, In, stead a two lane arterial road, adequate to meet the needs of Brantford will be built within the same corridor. A committee of the Legislature slowly moved through, amended and, finally approved changes to the Work- men's Compensation Board Act, The changes introduced by Labour, .Minister Fern Guidon give Chairman Michael Starr and other Board Members the power to redesign the Board's structure from within by im- plementing more than one hun- dred recommendations of a Task Force report in Septem- ber, Among the changes praised by Opposition Members are the powers given the Board to assess what an injured work, man will receive, not on the basis of his disability assessed as a percentage by a doctor, but on the basis of his lost ear- nings. Following complaints by workmen present that lawyers often charged, high rates to represent injured workmen at appeal hearings Mr. Guidon agreed to consider a request that the Act forbid paynient to lawyers who take the cases. There was some opposition. to the powers proposed ffri the Chairman of the Board which included establishing job classifications and salary ranges and appointing and promoting of' all employees. Mr. Guindon was criticized for making It a one man show. The Committee debates resulted in the approval of an amendment, requiring the Board to submit changes in its regulations to a joint consultative committee for comment before they come into effect. The longest debate was over whether there should be participation by the general public in the proposed joint consultative committee. It was suggested that the general public would not know the act well enough to contribute but Mr. Guindon said the commit- tee should not be so narrow as to exclude interested parties such as University experts and `former, ,politicians, What the committee, IS _and whatz'ff 'does will be known only if and when the Board decided to set it up. Labour Minister Fern Guin- don told the Legislature that the Government would be glad to collect severance pay for the 396 employees of Hall Lamp Company of Canada Limited if it could, using the expression, you can't get blood out of a stone. Mr. Guindon said the' Government has to find out how solvent the Company is and how much money is available, He said the problem is compounded because a num- ber of United States Companies are involved. Health Minister Richard Pot- ter has promised to bring in legislation to cover all health disciplined in Ontario, in- cluding the Chiropractic profession. The Health Disciplines Act will be in- troduced early in the Spring session of the Legislature, 'Dr. Potter told the House, that some chiropractors were geilty of abuses in their claims on the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, Dr. Potter has had drawn to his attention by OHIP officials some of the conditions which some of the Chiropractors had been treating people, for that which is simply unacceptable. Dr. Potter said that some Chiropractors who manipulate the spine were claiming to treat thereby such conditions as multiple sclerosis, mononucleosis, conorary con- ditions and gallbladder disease. He said his proposed Health Disciplines Act will spell out what rule each practice should play in the health field, Professor D.E. Eltick, Chairrnan of the Department of Land Resource Sciwice, at the univer- sity of Guelph presenta the Robert Harcourt Scholarship In the amount of $100 to Raymond McBride, of Varna, The scholarship Is awarded annually in honour of the late Professor Robert Harcourt, Heed of the Department of Chemistry from 1901 to 1936, to a worthy student on the completion of the 6th semester of the Soli Science Major. of G photo) Belgrave boy submits best contest title The recent "Name Contest" held by the Maitland Valley 'Conservation Authority resulted in some 35 possible names being submitted for the parcel of land which has been acquired by the Authority in East Wawanosh Township. According to the Authority the response from public school students involved was "tremen- dous" and the suggestions were all "most interesting and ap- pealing". Although Authority members termed it a "difficult decision" it was eventually decided that the first place prize money of $15 would go to Kim McDowell of RR 1 Belgrave for the suggested title "Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area". As a result, Kim's suggestion will become the official title of the land. Second prifze money of $10 went to Sharon Carter, of RR 3 Blyth for the suggestion "Mait- E-Waw Wildlife Preserve." Another $10 for third prize goes to Dianne Scott of Belgrave for her suggestion "Maitland Bend Conservation By RENA CALDWELL KIPPEN EAST The Resolutions meeting of Kippen East W.I. was held Dec, 19 at 8 p.m. in the Legion Hall, Hensall, Mrs. Alex McGregor was the hostess.
