Minor hockey underway for Huron Park youngsters T-A photo By TOM LESSARD To the TV fans, baseball and football are still the highlights of the season. But to the younger boys, minor hockey has taken over. Coaches begin selecting their teams on the 22nd and will continue all week. The next week, over 100 registered youngsters will oppose each other in earnest. We may not produce a Bobby Orr but with the fine calibre of volunteer coaches, it probably won't be long before some of our players will be scouted. When are the ladies going to form a team? It could happen! The Huron Park mens team has already had a practice and will go at it again this Sunday at 6 p.m. Fish Don Johnson and Terry Price of The Park went after fish over the long weekend, When they go after fish, they don't mean little ones, The two travelled to the Bustard Islands and Bad River district which is situated on Georgian Bay about 15 miles from Key River. Would you believe that with the able assistance of Don, Terry landed a 22 pound, 44 inch nor- thern pike. I'm sure that Red Fisher would have loved to have filmed their story for Scuttlebut Lodge. At the present time the prize fish is being mounted and it is hoped that a picture can be shown of it in a future issue. By the way, I'm told the Chin000k salmon are running in the little Ausable River. Fire Department At 1:30 p.m. Sunday, after the faithful returned home, the beepers were sounded to summon The Park Fire Department to their monthly practice. Chief Robichaud gathered his men around a projector for films and discussions on the nature of fires, The threat of fire plays such an important role in our lives that we are fortunate to have such a group of alert and qualified men. After the films, the department was split into two groups. While one group was out practicing fire hydrant drills, the other was employed in learning the use of oxygen and mouth to mouth resucitation. The apparatus used is always carried on the truck and is used in emergencies by qualified personnel. +.. + + The hours of sunlight are becoming less and less as winter approaches. But our children sometimes don't realize this. They'll play hide and seek, road hockey or football until they are called in. Though street signs say 30 miles per hour, won't you please drive a little slower and more cautiously. +..+..+ The dance which was to have been held on November 2 in aid of the baseball team has been cancelled in order to come to the aid of the Arthritic Association dance sponsored by the Centralia College Student Body and the Exeter chapter Xi Gamma Nu of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority.

After a summer which no one can deny as being a typical old fashion summer, with an abundance of heat and sunshine, 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 afford. 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 Compensation 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 term effects 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 in- formation about him was traded. Two N.D.P. members of the committee objected to the change in the bill. The appointment of civil ser- vant David Caverly as Chairman of Ontario's Environmental Hearing Board to replace John Root (P.C. Wellington-Dufferin) goes part way towards meeting the recommendation of the Camp Commission on the Legislature which said that the Government 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 ac- cording to a plan announced by Premier Davis. A special act will be introduced to provide annual payments geared to inflation and this year plans to pay $17 million to low income pensioners, that is single persons with an income below $3,100.00 and married couples below $5,400.00. Accor- ding 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 Guaranteed Income Sup- plement. Revenue Minister Allan Grossman announced that Ontario is to make lower cost mortgage 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 constrain medical care costs. Premier Davis replied by stating, that the Government had indicated it was developing some form of con- straint 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 Daytime TV is wonderful! It keeps a lot of women home who might otherwise be out driving. THE oie ireng SAYS 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 of 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 responsibilities". It went on to say that they had failed to guarantee 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 Committee felt this known friendship 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 factors which weighed upon Hydro, although it must be stated, that in the view ofsome 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 responsibility for sub letting 200,000 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 insert elements into costs which Hydro had never contemplated then switched to the term "appraised value", a definition which plagued the Committee in its hearings because it was never clearly defined, The Commissioners were advised that Mr. Moog was reneging and allowed him to do so. Hydro thereby lost not only benefits of the earlier agreement but, also exposed itself 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 Resources, and Social and Community Services. Congratulations go out to Charles MacNaughton on his recent appointment to the Board of Directors of Redpath Industries.
