The fourth session of the 29th Ontario Legislature was officially opened on Tuesday of last week with Lieutenant- Governor W. Ross MacDonald reading the last Speech from the Throne before he retires. Pauline McGibbon, Chan., ctsllor of the University of Toronto, who takes over as the 22nd Lieutenant Governor of Ontario was not present at the Opening of the ceremony as she believed it was to be Mr. MacDonald's show,cAt 10 a.m. Mr. MacDonald prorogued the third session of the 29th Parliament and at 2 p.m. he left the Royal York Hotel in an open Landau and rode to Queen's Park accompanied by State trumpeters, lancers and a travelling escort of the Gover- nor General's Horse Guards. A '15 gun salute by a specially assembled Honour Guard marked his arrival at Queen's Park. After inspecting the guard, Mr. MacDonald perfor- med the ceremonial opening of the Legislature at which time he read the Speech from the Throne, prepared by Premier William Davis, which set out the Government's legislative program for the current session. Mr. MacDonald then left the Chamber and the Legislature began its business, Shortly after his exit, the Legislature was ad- journed for the day and' the members and guests had a chance to meet Mr. MacDonald and the Premier during a two hour reception in Mr. MacDonald's suite, The Throne Speech was bereft of substance and con- tained nothing significant about controls on inflation and the soaring cost' of living. The Government's thrust as revealed in the Throne Speech represents quite an opening to the North. The Government plans for the North include in- creased activity on a number of fronts. A road to James Bay through Moosenee and a deep water port on Hudeon.or James Bay, if feasible would facilitate development of Northern On- tario and high Arctic energy- and mineral deposits. Four more northern communities *fl erebei W.#1?rteiiNiee'S' the Government airline, NorOntair and there will be money to improve northern air- ports. The rebuilding and widening of 186 miles of high- way 17 between Sudbury and the Sault, a persistent Northern demand has been given high priority. Electric power lines are to be extended to Northern communities currently without them, first among them Moosenee. The Province together with the Federal Government and industry will seek reliable telephone and other communications systems for northern communities. Those communities which are currently unorganized will have the chance to set up their own councils to handle' fire protection, water, roads and similar services. Culture will be brough to remote areas through the Ontario Council for the Arts. An income support program Directors of the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board have launched an investigation into the board's management procedures. The findings of the 'investigation will be reported to pork producers on March 20th. This will be the first day grandchildren; one sister., Mrs. Minnie Knox of Provost,. Alberta; and two brothers, William Bromley of Blyth and John Bromley of Huronview. She was predeceased by one daughter, Reta May, Funeral services were held from the Ball Funeral Home on March 8, 1974 with Rev. John Oestreicher 'officiating. Inter- ment was in Clinton Cemetery. • Pallbearers were Albert Shaddick, Allan Shaddick, Joe Shaddick, Robert Shaddick, Willis Bromley and Robert Vriesinga. Flowerbearers were Bruce Cudmore, Chris Cudmore and Bill Nay. Long-time resident dies was promised the elderly and disabled, but the speech gave no details of the program only to say that the proposed program will assist in achieving a greater measure of security for Ontario's older citizens and the disabled. A health education program will be launched to inform On- tario's citizens of the debilitating effects of alcohol, nicotine and mind bending drugs. The program will also encourage the public to make better use of the Province's health care system, The Throne Speech pledged establishment of a formal review mechanism for payment claims by non- medical practitioners such as chiropractors similar to the one in existence for claims by doc- tors, The speech confirmed that Legislation dealing with con- tract negotiations between On- tario teachers and school boards will be brought before the current session of the Legislature. Bill 275 a draft form of the proposed Legislation was placed before the House in November. The Throne Speech gave no suggestion as to the form of the new Bill but Education Minister Thomas Wells said a number of changes ' will be made in the original draft. A consolidation of all Legislation governing Elementary and Secondary education was promised. The Ontario Government. will launch a wide range of • programs and approaches in housing developments and community planning in the coming months. The Speech said the new programs will be implemented through a new planning act, changes in the Condominium Act and an enac- tment of an Ontario Building Code. They would all be characterized by a closer part- nership with other levels of Government, the private sector and citizens' groups. The private -sector in consultation with local and regional govern- ment,is to be encouraged to in- crease the supply of service lots and to work towards criKat5:44ii d a /I'd housing prices. The Ontario Government is to launch a major assault on housing problems designed to hold prices down and to keep On- tario on the path to a million new dwellings within a decade. Family Law will be rewritten to strengthen the rights of married women particularly the right to property. The Throne Speech also an- nounced plans for a prescrip- tion drug plan for senior citizens and a variety of other social programs in the fields of day-care, services to handicap- ped children and the disabled. The 'Speech—also indicated the Government's intention to make the wearing of seatbelts compulsory for the drivers and passengers for automobiles. The most obvious problem will be the enforcement of a belt law.

Mr. Davis called the review process which would call for hearings on the environmental impact of a project before it could be built "pioneering" but would not undertake to order an en- vironmental review Of projects already underway. Under pressure from Mr. Nixon, Davis did undertake to discuss the powerline project with Energy Minister Darcy McKeough to see if further review of the Hydro line route is needed. Farmers have been opposing the hydro route for the line on the basis that it would cut through 80 per cent of' prime agricultural land. Mr. McKeough, Minister of Energy was asked if he would talk to Ontario Hydro with respect` to the rate of compensation for farmers in the Hydro line corridor, particularly in view of the fact that Ontario Hydro has been offering rates which are 50 to 75 per cent of current market prices as opposed to the rates being offered by the pipeline, which are approximately 150 per cent of current market value prices. Mr. McKeough replied that if farmers or other property owners felt aggrieved by the prices being offered un- der the Expropriation's Act, they have the option of submit- ting the matter to the Land Compensation Board, which is required to deal adequately and fairly with these matters of compensation. Since its opening, a number of bills have been introduced to the Legislative Assembly and two or three members have debated .the Speech from the Throne. These, debSteg will continue next week.

Legal council has reaffirmed that all the sitting members are qualified to fill the position of director.
