The government takes into account the fixed costs of an efficient operation when calculating the grant that guaranteed level will vary from year to year. Riddell — The concept that farm stabilization plans serve only to encourage inefficient farmers is completely absurd, If any farmer has to depend on a stabilization plan to stay in business, then that person simp- ly will not survive in that line of business. The stabilization plan simply serves to ease the pressure when the market price of the farmers product falls below the basic price. The plan will help pay the cost of opera- tion and for the efficient farmer, it will no doubt, give him a margin of profit, but it will not favour the inefficient farmer nor will it give any farmer an incen- tive to over-produce. Carroll — Disagree. An effective stabilization plan, such as the NDP proposal which has been modelled on the successful BC venture, will demand efficiency and give farmers equitable returns for their labours. JACK RIDDELL 6, Only wage and price controls will halt the neverending spiral.of inflation, Hayter — An economist would tell you that wage and price con- trols will halt cost-push and wage-pull inflation in the short- term, But like every other exter- nal factor brought to bear on the open market price mechanism, some reactions will be felt elsewhere in the economy. As soon as the controls are lifted the economy will race back into a more realistic equilibrium that may refuel the inflationary fires. Since over 60% of our manufacturing sector is owned by foreigners and government contributes 24% of goods and services to our G.N.P., wage and price controls would be ex- cessively harsh on unorganized labour and small businessmen. Those two groups would carry the burden of the economic penance. All of the above make wage and price controls undesirable. It should also be mentioned that one province could not successfully undertake such restraint, Ontario is a trading jurisdiction with the U.S. and other provinces. Competit- iveness in trading is essential and controls are not desirable when one trades. Riddell — Price and wage con- trols do not appear to have work- ed in countries where they have been tried and surely we can learn by other peoples mistakes. I am more inclined to think that people must discipline their own spending habits and certainly governments must control their spending if they are going to lead the fight against inflation. If the last resort is price and wage con- trol, then it must be initiated at the federal level, Carroll — Disagree. The record of wage and price controls in the world economy indicates they do not solve inflationary problems. Selective price controls, through the mechanism of powerful review boards, can serve the needs of greater consumer protection during periods of in- flation. I think government spen- ding policies have contributed to inflation in Canada. . 7. Small business men should be compensated for their work in collecting sales tax and compiling records for the province. Hayter — I would be in favour of some equitable remuneration of a business man's labour and time in collecting and processing the province's sales taxes. Riddell — Retail merchants are ..friowt be ing I oompen§ate'd for their work in collecting sales tax and compiling records for the province, and rightfully so. Wholesalers, on the other hand, are not compensated and this is a discrimination which is un- acceptable as far as I am con- cerned and one which must be rectified. Carroll — Agree, In fact, the regressive nature of the sales tax demands that it should gradually be eliminated. That will remove the problem. 8. The province should take steps to improve senior citizen benefits for Ontario residents as the cost of, living is higher than in other provinces. Hayter — On July 1, 1974 the On- tario Government introduced a Guaranteed Annual Iricome System for the elderly, disabled and blind with monthly payments to eligible persons to ensure a minimum annual in- come of $2,600 for single people and $5,200 for couples. In response to higher living costs the GAINS minimum income was raised to $2,700 and $5,400 respectively on October .1, 1974. A further increase effective January 1, 1975 moved the. GAINS guarantees to $2,766 for single people and $5,532 for couples. The second increase brought an additional, 2,000 peo- ple into the program and raised the total payments by the province to $84.5 million in 1974- 75, To help defray cost-of-living expense the Government in- troduced a new Drug Benefit Plan September 1, 1974 allowing free prescribed drugs to recipients of the Federal G,I,S, pensions or Ontario GAINS or Family Benefit plans. I support tieing the benefits of the GAINS program to the cost of living, Riddell — I am not convinced that the cost of living is higher in Ontario than in other provinces, or in other countries throughout the world and I am inclined to think that the senior citizen benefits for Ontario residents are quite reasonable. Some senior citizens can budget better than others and they have no dif- ficulty living within their means. I believe one of governments prime responsibilities is the The Mt. Carmel residence of Mr. & Mrs. Wilfred Hogan is, as of late, a very busy one. Their daughter Margaret, and son-in- law Bill Inson, became the happy parents of Jodi Ann, an pound, three ounce baby girl, who *as born on August 28. After a short stay at the Hogan residence, Mr. & Mrs. Inson will take up residence in Huron Park. The baby was baptised at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church on Sunday Many visitors at Shipka By MRS. HUGH MORENZ SHIPKA Mrs. Peter Wardlaw of Toronto visited last week with her- daughter and family, Mr. & Mrs. Sid Durie and Glenn. Mrs. John Vermeiren, the former Jenny Rutten, resumed her duties as bookkeeper at the Imperial Oil Office for Cliff Russell, after a month's honeymoon .trip, three weekAr 41„ which was spent visiting her and: her husband's families in Holland and Belgium. Mr. & Mrs. Harold Vincent, Lori Michael and Michelle at- tended the Huron Pioneer Thresher's Reunion, at Blyth on Saturday. Mr. & Mrs. George Leadbetter of Lighthouse Point, Florida spent a few days last week with their cousins Mr. & Mrs. Gordon Ratz and family, Cindy Desjardine of Ripley spent the weekend with her parents Mr. & Mrs. Willis Desjardine. Mr. & Mrs. Ray Cartwright of London visited Sunday with their cousins, Mr. & Mrs. Hugh Morenz. , Roger Ratz spent a few days last week. at Blind River at his cousin, John Godbolt's cottage. Octet ,S7 dud Mrs. Charles Glavin of Mt. Carmel celebrates her eighty-fifth birthday on Friday, September 12. Mrs. Mary Hedley celebrated her 96th bir- thday on September 2. welfare of Ontarios senior citizens and there is no question that their benefits will have to be adjusted from time to time in keeping with the costs of living, Carroll — Agree. It is a sad com- mentary to note that added benefits most often accrue dur- ing and just prior to election campaigns while the plight of our senior citizens is largely ig- nored between elections. The Ontario of Bill Davis is a follower when it comes to help- ing senior citizens. Take a mo- ment and look at the NDP record in the West . 9, The province should take over responsibility for policing all towns with less than 10,000 pop- ulation. Hayter — I do not favour a move by the province through the 0.P,P. to police municipalities under 10,000 but I do see room for consolidation of forces at the county level in much the same way as the Huron and Middlesex County Councils are presently consolidating police service. I think that decision should be left September 7. Another of Mr. & Mrs. Hogan's many children, Joanne McCann, left by plane on Sunday, August 31st from London on a holiday to Winnipeg and the Western provinces. Joanne will return from her trip in time to enter her third year of a Physio- therapy course at Western University. Mt. Carmel's latest soldier, Klaus Jeromkin, son of Mr. & Mrs. Nic Jeromkin, came home on leave this past weekend, after completing an eleven week basic training program at C.F.R,S. Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. He has now returned to take up duty at Camp Borden. Two more world travellers from this fair hamlet are Morris and Michael Ryan, sons of Mr. & Mrs. Michael Ryan. The boys plan to continue their education in Ireland. Mt. Carmel has acquired a new news correspondent, who hap- pens to be me! I'm Paul Salmon, and I'm sleuthing around for any newsworthy tips. Please contact me between four and eleven p.m. at 237-3783 through the week, and at any sane hour during the weekend. By MRS. HEBER DAVIS Mrs. George Hall, Mrs, J. McCormick attended the wed- ding of Mary Ann Aussems, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. John Aussems of Kitchener to Ronald Pearson, son of Mr. & Mrs. Sidney Pearson. A reception followed in North Dumfries Cambridge - Galt Township Hall, Mr. & Mrs. Gordon Hutchison and Chad of Woodstock visited on the weekend with Mrs. Howard. By MRS. HAROLD DAVIS Mrs. Marguerite Greenlee attended a bridal shower for Miss Lucy Cunningham at the home of Lucy's sister Joyce of Exeter. A swag lamp was one of the gifts from the neighbours on the second and fourth concessions of Biddulph and the Saintsbury ladies. to the County Councils. After all that service is more directly related to those Councils than Provincial Government. Riddell — I cannot support the concept that the province should take over the responsibility for policing all towns with less than 10,000 population. Regional police forces have proven to be extremely costly and according to information which I have been able to obtain, the 0,P,P. polic- ing of towns will be more costly if people are to expect the same services as they now get from the town police. Residents of small towns gobbled up in regional government complain that they very seldom see a police officer and in cases of emergency, it takes far too long for the police to get out on a call in a small centre. Carroll — Disagree. The state- ment is an unreasonable generalization. If the local governments determine that this is needed, then the option should be available, There are several other choices, including the one that would maintain the existing arrangement. * 10. Sunday shopping should be prohibited except for essential goods and services. Hayter — In order to preserve the sanctity of the Lord's Day and in keeping with the spirit of the Lord's Day Act of Ontario, I think that corporations, with the exception of essential goods and services, could refrain from Sun- day business activity. It would not only give managers well earned rest but would give a great many employees a chance to enjoy at least one day per week with their families. Obviously there must be some exceptions for provision of goods and services essential to the welfare of us all. Riddell — One of my colleagues in the Ontario Legislature has in- troduced a private members bill each year for a number of years calling for uniform store hours and Sunday closing of stores ex- cept for those stores which han- dle essential goods and services. I definitely support my colleague in his endeavours and I fail to un- derstand the reason that the government is waffling on this matter. Carroll — Disagree. It needs to be "regulated". Although the prohibition of Sunday shopping as stated in the `TA' commen- tary would be acceptable in an area like this, we cannot forget that there are people who work seven-day cycles, shifts, etc who require access to shopping facilities at unusual hours. In order to protect the small businessman, I would favour "regulation" but not "prohibition". • • • • New correspondent for Mt. Carmel area.
