By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron-Middlesex The Legislature's Committee studying Hydro's 1976 rates has predicted an increase of 34.5 percent in the cost of producing electric power next year, This projected increase could mean an escalation of 25 percent to 30 percent, and up to 34 percent in power rates to municipal utilities and large industries, depending on local circumstances. In the same draft report to the Legislature, the Committee suggests that the rate of increase in electricity production costs will drop sharply between 1978 and 1980, flattening out in the 1980's to a range of 5 percent to 10 percent each year. A Hydro spokesman has said that the projections were made on the basis of evidence from Hydro witnesses, but stressed that the actual calculations and a chart in NFU wants milk payment The National Farmers' Union today asked the Ontario Government to make an ad- justment payment of $1.35 per cwt. for "in quota" industrial milk up to a limit of 700,000 lbs per producer. Walter Miller, vice-president of the NFU, said he was pleased with the meeting held with Agriculture Minister Newman, and the fact that the government recognizes there is a problem. "Although not committing themselves to the NFU request, they did not reject it." Miller said he believes the province has a responsibility to protect producers from severe loss of income resulting from government policies to expand production within thep industry. He said many producers responded to a call for increased production two years ago, and now find themselves in a serious financial bind because of cuts in quotas that could have very serious effects on the future of the industry. The NFU also told the Minister it has offered to support the OMMB in bringing about more equitable distribution of quotas among producers. Mr. Miller pointed out that the whole province does benefit from the extra economic activities generated from expanding the industry through the multiplier effect, but the main benefit is retaining a healthy dairy 'producing industry. He said, "it is not good enough, nor would NFU accept a policy that simply allows farmers to survive, as they are entitled to a return on labour like everyone else," He said the NFU recogizes and supports the concept of total national marketing programs that operate without intervention from provinces. "However, when provincial intervention or provincial programs disrupt supply management then we also recognize that provinces must be responsible for helping to correct problems it created." Mr. Miller said he was en- couraged and thought the meeting was very worthwhile. auuniunliumunimmuiummiumumum 1.4 ADAMS Heating & Cooling `i • Heating Systems! of All Types INSTALLED, MODERNIZED and MAINTAINED = g" • General Sheet Metal Work 0: • Air Conditioning 2 • Humidifiers • Ventilation 235-2187 133 Huron St., East, Exeter nuemommuumummimunimiummor; • Honor woman at Cancer Society meeting in Lucan Times-Advocate, June 17, 1974 Peeop Zieept'd Peva Page 19 • AT PRICES YO 'LL LOVE STORE HOURS' Mon.,: Tues., & Sat. 9-6 Thurs.

The first stop en route was the Royal Botanical Gardens, on the outskirts of Burlington, the Iris and Peonies were a riot of bloom, from there they took the Q.E. to Niagara Falls and enjoyed lunch in the park beside the Falls. They could even feel the cool spray on our faces. After lunch they drove to Marineland where they saw the dolphins and a sea lion perform in the first tank, then moved on to the next to watch the killer whales. After a scenic drive they headed homeward, stopping for dinner and some shopping at a new plaza at Stoney Creek. They arrived back in Granton about 8:00 p.m, Mrs. Gordon Dann, President of the Friendly Neighbors thanked the bus driver Pete McNaughton for his con- sideration and attentiveness en route where he continually drew attention to points of interest.

Hydro's proposals for 1977 rates are now being prepared for submission to the Energy Minister within the next three weeks, and these will Irwin the basis for an Ontario Energy Board review beginning in August. Julian Reed, Liberal MPP for Halton-Burlington, and a member of the Select Committee an Hydro Rates, said this week, that he was very disappointed by the actions of the NDP members of the Select Committee on the matter of an independent study of the Bradley-Georgetown Hydro Corridor. He said two of the three NDP members voted against an independent study and when the decision resulted in a split vote, 5 in favour and 5 against, the Chairman of the Committee, Donald MacDonald of the New Democratic Party voted against such a study, Mr. Reed said this was particularly surprising as Mr. MacDonald is that Party's Agriculture Critic, and should be vitally concerned about anyting which affects our' valuable agricultural land, Mr. Reed said he presented a resolution to the Select Committee calling for an independent study of the Bradley- Georgetown Corridor. Had the NM' supported this resolution, we might have been able to bring some influence to bear on the Government. Members of all three parties in the Legislature have supported a Private Member's Bill to provide an Ontario Freedom of Infor- mation Act, Such a Bill, if enacted, would reverse the present trend in government to keep secret all information ex- cept what it chooses to make public. All information would be made puhlic except certain categories which could legitimately be kept secret. No vote was taken on the 'Bill, Private Bills usually die on the order paper, Proposed legislation forbidding private medical labs to reward doctors with gifts of money wilt not proceed before the fall, ac- cording to the Minister of Health. In an interview, the Minister said his legal advisers find it difficult to change the bill, introduced by the Government last April, to remove aspects which displease him. He said he plans to outline some steps the government • PRICES EFFECTIVE 'TILL Tuesday, June 22 might take during the debate on his Ministry's estimates before the Legislature recesses for the summer. Regulations will be introduced soon under existing legislation to deal with doctors' conflict of interest, lab billing procedures and a new form for doctors to use when ordering tests from labs. The proposed legislation, which ran into heavy opposition criticism during debate, would allow the govern- ment to lift a lab's licence or restrict the types of tests a lab may conduct. The Minister has criticized the government bill for allowing labs no right to appeal shut-down orders and for giving the government too sweeping powers. The Supreme Court of Canada 'shearing agruments as to whether the Federal Anti- Inflation Act is within Ottawa's rights under the consitution and whether Ontario's agreement placing Provincial Public Employees under the wage controls is legal. This agreement was signed after an order passed by the Cabinet, not after approval by the Legislature. The con- stitutionality of the Ottawa- Ontario pact was challenged before the Ontario Supreme Court by teachers in Renfrew, following an Anti-Inflation Board roll back of a pay increase which they had won. Ontario, in- cidentally, is the only province completely in support of Ottawa's position that the Anti-inflation law passsed by Parliament last fall is constitutionally valid. Alberta, the Canadian Labour Congress, and unions representing teachers and other Ontario Civil Servants are arguing the law is an improper intrusion by Ottawa into provincial jurisdiction and that Ontario's agreement putting public service workers under the wage controls is illegal. The Minister of Agriculture and Food, Mr. William Newman, announced in the Legislature that the Government of Ontario is increasing the funds allocated to the drainage programme by $3.8 million. This will bring our total involvement this fiscal year to $16.8 million. Under this programme, the Minister said, the Province, through debenture arrangements with local municipalities, assists the individual farmer to drain his land and thus improve his productivity and income. The programme provides farmers with 10 year loans for up to 75 percent of the cost of installing drainage tile. Tir farmer pays six percent interest on his loan and the province makes up the difference between that six percent and the market rate which varies from time to time. This programme, the Minister said, has been well received, as is demonstrated by the fact that more than $40 million is out in 10 years loans at this time. The success of this programme is clearly demonstrated by the significant gains in agricultural productivity which are partly attributable to improved drainage. The Government House Leader has announced the government's intention to press ahead with debate on the proposed Farm Income Stabilization legislation, which would provide a measure of income protection for farmers producing about 15 percent of the value of Ontario's farm products. It is anticipated that this bill will be defeated by a combined vote of the two Opposition Parties, Faced with this prospect, the government has decided that the vote on the farm bill will not consitute non-confidence. Instead, it will split the issues and call for a separate vote of con- fidence, if the farm bill is defeated. This proposed farm bill is considered by the government to be an important first step. Both Opposition Parties, however, say it is token legislation which will be of little benefit to a few far- mers. As at present drafted, the bill will not cover commodities already provided for by the federal plan or commodities with quotas and prices set by marketing boards. The bill is limited to such cash crops as wheat and some fruits and vegetables. A Farm Income Stabilization Commission, would, under the bill, be set up to ad- minister a fund to provide sup- port at a level equal to 90 percent of the average market price for the previous five years, with adjustments for production cost changes in the current year. The Liberal Party has been fighting, for many months, for a voluntary stabilization programme, the cost of which would be shared between the farmers, the province and the federal government . The NDP also wants to have a more comprehensive plan. For Your Shopping Convenience We Are Open Every THLIRS. and FRI.
