The four - Doctors Hospital in Toronto and public hospitals in Clinton, Durham and Paris - are still in the process of appealing the orders to close. There is, ap- parently, no chance that the remaining hospitals scheduled to close will be reprieved, and the Minister told the Legislature that the Government has not altered any decisions but is simply keeping an open mind while studying briefs which have been presented. Even if some of the hospitals being closed are put to other uses, the Government still hopes to save close to $45-million. The Acting Minister of Health also told the Legislature that the entire population of Ontario will be inoculated against swine flu if the Provincial Government can obtain enough vaccine. If suf- ficient vaccine is not available, those at highest risk will be vaccinated. The Minister said the province hopes to use health units throughout Ontario to carry out the vaccination programme to eliminate any charge for the procedure, although no decision has yet been made about whether there will be a charge for the vaccine itself. According to the Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations,. • whose Ministry ad- ministers the rent review program inea1 addi tional 20,ren review 4icers will be hired to help clear a backlog of rent review applications estimated at 245,000, although this figure may include duplicate applications where to protect himself a tenant has filed an application and the landlord has already done so with respect to the tenant's rental accommodation. Rent review legislation was introduced last fall, limiting increases to 8 percent unless a landlord can justify a higher raise to rent review officers, The 8 percent ceiling was retroactive to last July 31 for one year, and the Minister recently announced increases will be held to 8 percent annually until July 31, 1977. Speaking at the _University of Western Ontario last week, the Minister said he will resign or ask for a transfer to another ministry if the Ontario Government ex- tends the rent-control programme beyond July 31, 1977. "I don't want to be a minister in charge of a mess", he said. Ontario awarded a contract to Drake Personnel to provide 277 trained workers for the provincial rent-review programme. The Chairman of the Management Board told the Legislature that the contract called for trained clerical stenographers, typists, clerks, support personnel and ad- ministrators. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith asked for the terms of the contract, and was informed it was worth $1.6 million, which included the cost of employee benefits. The Minister of Colleges and Universities admitted that a community college in Ottawa has an investment portfolio of nearly $5 million. He had been criticized by Opposition Members for allowing colleges to build up such large portfolios from public funds. Seneca College in Toronto has a $3.4 million investment portfolio, and the Minister said that he is preparing a full report on the portfolios held by the province's 22 community colleges, and indicated that much of the money in the college portfolios is earmarked for specific future needs, such as new buildings or equipment, Former Ontario Liberal Leader Robert Nixon, speaking in the Throne Debate, referred to a govettitnent pledge to take action on the problem of alcohol abuse by teenagers, and called for a ban on all liquor and beer advertising in the Province. Mr. Nixon said that MPPs will be "seriously irresponsible and derelict, in our duty" if they permit this kind of advertising to continue either on radio or television, or in the print media. fle said "there's no reason for us ro permit this kind of insidious Cash And Carry Hwy.r 83, west of Hwy. 4 235.1422 HOURS: Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m..
