This gave the Opposition Members a chance to read the numerous reports which are submitted by Cabinet Ministers and chairmen of various com- mittees and to study the bills which have already been in- approval by the Minister of Education in May, 1973. The promise then was that the guidelines would be in print by September. Tired of waiting the school boards ignored the memorandum which specified the 5th draft as a confidential document by the Director of the Curriculum Development Branch, The unauthorized guidelines give teachers more authority in produces less than 25' percent of the owner's income. 4) Rural recreational farm land used at a profit for raising game birds, hunting or fishing, skiing, keeping dogs, or horse's or other recreational uses. 5) Rural speculative, and not in the other categories resulting in an immediate hazard to adequate supply of farm products "prohibitive" property values and lack of weed control, drainage and maintenance, according to the report. Tired of waiting since 1968 for curriculum guidelines (promised by the Ministry of Education) some school boards are using an unauthorized draft of the primary and junior curriculum guidelines for Ontario. Teachers and principals have been promised the guidelines to im- plement the Hall Denis report titled "Living and Learning". The study outlines proposals to make drastic changes in Ontario schools. The Ministry of Education raised expectations when a review of curriculum was ap- proved in August, 1970. Com- mittees were appointed, then there was a steady stream of promises from the curriculum branch that guidelines were developing and would be ready for publication. Within the last month school boards were told the publication would have a new name entitled "The New Curriculum Guidelines for the Primary and Junior Divisions" and that additions have been made to the 5th draft, but a number of the boards were already using the 5th draft which have been prepared for final Euchre Party aids crippled children since his appointment, criticized, the removal as of Saturday, of Provincial regulations governing swimming pools, As a result most pools in apartment buildings no longer need to be supervised 'by lifeguards. Dr. Shulman has asked a number of questions in the Legislature and in his opinion he has not received any answers which would indicate that Mr. Miller knows anything of either the Ministry or the problems of health care. A committee studying classification of farmland in Ontario warned strongly that prime agricultural land is rapidly disappearing. The group recommended that the Minister of Agriculture be given final say over development that would affect productive farmland, The proposal would remove land planning power from the Treasurer and give Agriculture Minister William SteWart and his successors the power to veto expressways, parkbelts, sub- divisions and any commercial and industrial development that would affect productive farm- land. The report also recommended that land useable for farming be classified in five categories that would clearly distinguish land held for speculation or only for residence from land beind far- med. Mr. Stewart had little to say about the proposal that would transfer to him the planning headaches — particularly in unzoned rural areas — that Treasurer John White is trying to solve with demands that municipalities pass official plans and as a last resort, land freezes, Describing speculators as the worst cats in the whole situation because they are just sitting there contributing noxious weeds and unsightliness, the chairman of the committee said he per- sonally favours penalties of some kind for speculators. He said details were a matter of Government policy and outside the committee's terms of reference. Mr. Stewart would not com- ment on possible penalties for instance, assessing higher tax rates on unproductive farmland but he emphasized the Govern- ment's present incentives to active farmers including a 50 percent rebate on property taxes to those whose farms earned at least $2,000 last year. The five classifications recommended by the Committee are - 1) Agricultural land owned or leased by people or companies whose principal activity is far- ming. 2) Agricultural residential land owned or leased by people who farmed the greater proportion of the land and derived at least 25 percent of their income from farming. 3) Rural residential land, farmland most of which is not being farmed and which setting classroom programs. The 5th draft notes that it is only the teacher together ' with the children who can decide from day to day and week to week what are the best decisions to make to meet their particular needs. The guidelines at the Provincial and board levels provide a framework of general aims. However, at the pupil level the guidelines say that the teacher should have freedom to select materials in sequences in teaching. The law which requires den- turists to pass Provincial examinations and work only under the supervision of dentists has been the target of two bills introduced in the Legislature this session. Liberal Leader Nixon's Dental Prosthesis Bill would permit denturists to take im- pressions and make teeth, working from their own premises. Similar intent is in an amen- ding bill from Bud Germa, NDP Sudbury, that would allow denturists to deal directly with the public. The Government set this, past December as a deadline for denturists to register for examinations as denture therapists and stop selling directly to the public. Denturists practising illegally face fines up to $2,000 or six months in jail. Five other provinces permit denturists to sell directly to the public. Changes to the controversial denture therapist legislation are being considered ' by Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller, which would see the law amended to remove denturists and dental technicians from the supervision of dentists. This change would represent a 'major concession by the Government to about 100 den- turists clinics which had been defying the law for about three months by selling falseteeth directly to the public.

It was an opportunity as well for Opposition Members to attend to many of the problems which existed within the ridings which they represent. Only 20 days after Premier William Davis shuffled his Cabinet, Dr, Shulman, NDP High Park, called for the resignation of Frank Miller, new Minister of Health. Dr, Shulman questioned Mr, Miller's judgment, com- petence and basic knowledge of health matters. He said that unless the Minister was replaced "a real public health disaster may well over- take us all". Dr. Shulman, a persistent critic of Mr, Miller • • 0 Perth and Huron Residents!
