This is what Ontario is doing to help make sure they're safe fun. We now have new laws for motorized snow vehicles, usually known as snowmobiles, All snowmobiles must be registered With Ontario's Ministry of Transportation and Communications, (If previously registered, they must be re-registered.) Registration is free. Also, people who operate snowmobiles off their own property must now have a permit to do so. The fee for the annual permit is $10.00. (The only exceptions are in certain designated areas of remote north- western Ontario.) Actually, complying with the new reg- ulations is easy. You can re-register a previously-registered snowmobile—and obtain your annual permit-at any Ministry of Transportation and Communications license-issuing office in Ontario (where you get your automobile license), If you buy a new snowmobile, the dealer. must register it on your behalf within six days of the sale. The number of your Registration Cer- tificate must be attached to, or painted on, both sides of your snowmobile's hood in numbers 2" to 3" high, and must contrast with your snowmobile's colour to be easily seen. Your permit will be affixed to your RegistrationCertificate and you will be given two adhesive stickers to affix to your snowmobile's hood according to directions. That's all there is to it. Do not drive your snowmobile anywhere (except on your own property). unless it has been registered and you have a permit. Make certain that you know and observe all operating rules and safety regulations for snowmobiles and be sure to check local by-laws in the municipality where you use your snowmobile.

XtTErt 3.22036 C(70:*--D Tractors Equipment By _JACK RIDDELL, MPP Huron-Middlesex The Residential Premises Rent Review Act, was introduced by the honourable John Rhodes, Minister of Housing, in the Legislature this week. Mr. Rhodes said that the introduction of rent control in Ontario, at this time is in keeping with the • WORK PARKAS EXETER DISTRICT 235-2081 .a1MtliaMintfr4MiafaleN Government's undertaking during the last election, and that it should be viewed in the context of the federal government's anti- inflation measures which it is designed to complement. The Minister indicated that he was concerned that the possibility of rent control could have an ad- ferse effect on the development of rental accommodation which is already scarce in a number of communities, However, Mr. Rhodes said that at a time when rents have been climbing, wages limited and prices subject to review, rent levies must be legislated for the common good. The General principles of the Legislation are: — Leases commencing bet- ween July 29, 1975 and January 1, 1976, will be limited to a maximum rental increase of a percent of the rent paid in July, • MITTS & GLOVES t Beside CN Station "Walainara . 1975. During this period the allowable increase cannot be appealed by either party. Appeals will be allowed either party for the balance of the term after January 1, 1976. Provision is made to require landlords to refund overpayments. — Leases commencing bet- ween December 31, 1975 and August 1, 1976 will be subject to a maximum rental increase of 8 percent whieh may be appealed by either pandlord or tenant. — Leases commencing bet- ween July 31, 1976 and August 1, 1977, will be Subject to a maximum rental increase established by Order-In-Council, which may be appealed by either landlord or tenant. — Disputes will be first heard by a rent review officer with a right of appeal by either party to the rent review board, — The onus will be on the landlord to demonstrate that increased costs justify the rent increase, — Residential premises for the purpose of the Act will either be a dwelling unit that contains bathroom and kitchen facilities or land used as a site for a mobile home. — Rent will mean, not only the amount paid by the tenant for accommodation, but that paid for any ancillary service "or thing" such as parking or lockers. — A tenancy agreement may be written, oral or implied. — The rent review officer will be empowered to approve the amount sought by a landlord if he is satisfied the costs presented justify the amount of the rent increase. On the other hand he can order the landlord to reduce the rent increase to an amount less than 8 percent. This Act will not apply to a number of residential premises, These include those owned by federal or provincial govern- ments or government agencieg, buildings of four residential units or fewer, luxury accommodation, which is defined as having a rent of more than $500 a month, co- operatives and non-profit housing and several similar exclusions. Also exempted are new buildings, no part of which were occupied for residential purposes before January 1, 1976. Any person who knowingly contravenes the Act, is liable to a fine not exceeding $2,000. The Attorney General, The lionotirable Roy McMurtry, informed the Legislature that in view of the introduction of the Residential Rent Review Act, further legislation to ensure security of tenure, is required. Therefore, he intends to in- troduce amendments to the Landlord and Tenant Act, to protect tenants who become involved in rent disputes. Last Tuesday evening some 3,000 Metro Toronto high school teachers staged a mass demonstration at Queen's Park "to urge the Government to take a more responsible stand on the handover of provincial control of education to the federal govern- ment", because the Anti-inflation Board in Ottawa is to have the final say in settling the matter of the teachers' new contract. Opposition Members have pressured the Provincial Government to establish a provincial board to deal with wages of employees in the public sector, such as teachers, instead of giving jurisdiction to the federal government under the new anti-inflation guidelines. In fact, Liberal Leader Bob Nixon, tabled a motion in the Legislature to the effect that the House. regretted the failure of the Government to accept its responsibility to provide for the direct administration of federal Wage and Price Controls. The Provincial Government continues to insist on leaving the administration of the new con- trols with the federal Board, Teachers have refused to sign for an increase beyond the federal guidelines, conditional on ap- proval of Ottawa, accepting an interim increase of 12 percent, and Ottawa cannot review a contract until it has been signed. This means that negotiations are at a stalemate, and the teachers have now voted overwhelmingly to go on strike, which will affect some 140,000 high school students. In reply to a question by Mr. Vern Singer, Liberal Member for Wilson Heights, as to what progress the Attorney General made in tightening up or having the federal authorities tighten up the drinking and driving laws, Mr. McMurtry indicated that he attended a federal-provincial meeting of Attorneys-General in Halifax recently and made representations to his federal counterpart with respect to a proposed amendment to the Criminal Code, The proposed amendment dealt with removing from the Criminal Code the power of a judge, in most in- stances it would be a trial judge, to make order or prohibition arising as a result of a drinking and driving offence, Mr. McMurtry said he indicated that in his view this was not in the best interest of controlling or reducing the very serious problem relating to drinking and driving on our provincial highways and requested the amendment be changed and that trial judges be given the power to make driving prohibitions up to a period of a lifetime for the appropriate case. Mrs. Margaret Campbell, Liberal Member for St. George, asked the Minister of Community and Social Services, whether he has given consideration to redefining disability for the purposes of GAINS. Mr. Taylor the Minister of Community and Social Services, said that a great deal of consideration has been given but that it is a difficult problem as there is supposedly a difference between the per- manently unemployable and the permanently disabled. There has been a review of everyone from 60 to 65 years and there has been a massive transfer from per- menently umemployable to permanently disabled persons. Mrs, Sandeman, NDP member for Peterborough, asked the Minister of Consumer and Commercial Affairs whether he was aware of the different requirements made for married women who wish to get credit from a credit union or a bank as opposed to those made for married men. She asked whether the Minister was going to bring in legislation to end discrimination in credit rules. Mr, Handleman replied that he was aware of the discriminatory aspects of credit granting practices on the part of certain institutions, but that a set of guidelines have just been com- pleted which will be put to in- dustry for comment. The Minister said he hopes to have an announcement to correct the situation before the end of November. By MRS.
