Mr. & Mrs. Bill Chessell and Brian visited Friday evening with Mr. & Mrs. Robert Laing. 4-H meeting The second meeting of Hibbert No. 2 girls was held at Mrs. Wallace's. Following the 4-H pledge, the secretary's report was given by Betty Anne Miller. The second meeting of the Staffa No. 1 4-H Homemaking representatives of the. Govern- ment of Alberta and certain private petroleum companies involved in the development of the reserves of the Athabasca Oil Sands, located to the northeast of Edmonton, The Premier said the matter under discussion was whether or not the public interest and the interests of Ontario would be served by the early completion of the Syncrude Project - a project designed to extract synthetic oil from the Mildred Lake site of the Athabasca Sands at a daily rate of 125,000 barrels. The Government of Canada and the governments of provinces were invited to par- ticipate in this project when Atlantic Richfield Canada Ltd., one of the original participants withdrew. An agreement in principle has been reached on a method of financing the Syncrude Project. It was established that the projected cost is $2 billion. Private enterprise will invest a total of $1.4 billion, the remaining $600 million will be shared by the Governments of Ontario, Alberta and Canada, with our Province investing $100 million, Alberta investing $200 million and Canada investing $300 million. The Governments of Ontario, Alberta and Canada will, respectively hold 5 percent, 10 percent, and 15 percent. The Companies involved will have 70 percent. - Alberta besides investing $200 million directly, will in addition bear the cost of the pipeline to transport the product to the market and will bear the cost of providing the needed electrical plant plus other infrastructure costs for an estimated total of $600 million. The Premier said that the oil sands and heavy oil in Alberta contain immense quantities of oil; the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board recently estimated that the sand may ultimately yield recoverable reserves of 300 billion barrels. At present oil consumption levels these reserves could supply Canada's oil for centuries. Robert Nixon, Leader of the Opposition, asked the Premier what assurances the Government hadthat its 5 percent investment in this $2 billion project would not rise to more than $100 million, He said the Province might be "into some sort of an open-ended raffle." This week in the Ontario club "Pins & Needles" was held at the home of the assistant leader Mrs. George Vivian on Monday February 3 at 7 p.m. The meeting opened with the 4- H pledge followed by the roll call, which was answered by 11 girls. They showed their material and pattern and told what kind of material they had chosen. Mrs. Spencer Jeffery dicussed, "getting ready to cut out," and altering the shoulder length. Mrs. Vivian discussed altering the pant length and "cutting and marking." Mrs. Vivian showed everyone how to fit a pattern and Mrs. Jeffery demonstrated how to make tailor tacks. Mrs. C. Douglas gave pointers on getting ready to cut, cutting, and marking. Kathy Douglas demonstrated how to make tailor tacks, and Jeana Lou Elliott showed how to lay on a pattern. Persona Is Quite a number of ladies at- tended a Stanley Party at the home of Mrs. Johnny Miller on Tuesday. Mrs. Annie Miller is home after a lengthy stay in hospital. Mr. & Mrs. John Templeman and family were dinner guests of Mr. & Mrs. Rob Templeman, Stratford on Sunday. Mr. & Mrs. Alf Ross Jr. are enjoying a holiday in the sunny south. Legislature a law was passed that will ensure that anyone convicted of impaired or criminally negligent driving will be banished from the roads in Ontario for at least three months. His Ontario licence will be automatically lifted upon such conviction. A second offence within five years will bring a six month suspension. Anyone driving while under suspension will be liable for a further six month suspension and a $500.00 fine. At present under the Criminal Code,judges have some leewayon the matter of licence suspension, and sometimes "restricted" licences are granted, permitting a suspended driver to use a vehicle at certain times of the day, accommodating those whose livelihood depends on being able to drive, such as truck drivers, travelling salesmen. The Minister of Tansportation and Communication intends that there shall be no exceptions made in future. During the debates of this Bill, I commended the Minister for making some attempt to provide more adequate legislation for the safety of the children who travel to and from school by schoolbus. commended him on the par- ticular legislation that traffic be required to stop regardless of the speed zone they are in, and although this is just a very small aspect of the overall bus safety picture, statistics have shown that the most hazardous part of the journey a bus makes is the bus stops, More children are killed crossing the highway to and from the stopped bus than are killed as passengers within the bus. I stated I regretted the fact that this bill did not include legislation covering the selection and training of schoolbus operators, an area which leaves much to be desired.

' Board, Eric Winkler, to explain why a public relations officer in. the Premier's office is getting paid $56,000 . Reid is the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee of the Legislature, and was referring to information provided him last week that showed the Government was spending more .than $10.6 million on information and avertising services for its 26 ministries. The estimates of the Work- men's Compensation Board have been discussed in Committee. In 1973 there were some 418,438 on- the-job injuries, and benefits from the Board amount to more than $186 million, an increase of $25 million (more than 11 per- cent) over the previous year. Amendments to the Workmen's Compensation Act, which took effect July 1, 1973 raised the maximum on which com- pensation was paid to $10,000 annually, from the previous maximum of $9,000, which continues to apply to all accidents occurring prior to July 1. Pension payable to dependent widows was increased from, $175 to $250 monthly, and additional monthly payments for dependent children increased $10 to $70 with payments to orphans increasing to $80. There has been considerable debate on asbestos health hazards. The Minister of Health says he is satisfied that there is no current health problem at the Johns-Manville Company plant, but it has been reported that during the last four years the Compensation Board has ap- proved at least 35 claims in- volving workers at the plant, incapacitated because of cancer and asbestos related conditions. Apparently, Government in- spections made as recently as November of last year showed the plant had many work areas which were monitored as "un- safe" by acceptable standards. to Valentine Dance s.
