Mr. Whelan indicated three areas of possible government action to assist the producers. The Farm Credit Corporation could agree to defer loan payments for dairy farmers who are now in financial diffi• culty due to circumstances be- yond their control. Without commitment, the Federal Govern- ment will look into the possi- bility of some adjustment away from monthly milk production quotas. The government will examine, again without commit- ment, production between the 95 million hundred weights of milk required for the domestic market and the 100.5 million hundred weights for Total Market Share Quota. Producers currently are paying an $8.60 per hundred weight levy on their share of production above the 95 million hundred weight. Mr. Whelan emphasized that the last two points were promises to look into the situation, and not commit- ments to action on the part of the government, The Government will decide in the next few weeks how to handle a legislative directive to reintroduce a broad new farm income stabilization bill by the end of October. This directive came from a combined vote by New Democrats and Liberals which defeated a Government bill to provide a measure of income protection to a limited number of farmers. To ignore the directive would be con- By MRS. IRVIN RADER DASHWOOD Ron Merncr, delegate from Zion Lutheran Church, who attended the 1976 convention of the Ontario District at Wilfred Laurier University returned with a very enthusiastic report of the proceedings. Veteran Toronto pastor Pollex expressed the feelings of the 118 delegates-pastors and lay- men, when he said "This is one of the happiest moments of my life" when the establishment of an Ontario Extension Seminary of the Lutheran church, Missouri Synod was approved. Six sites were discussed but St. Catharines was decided upon and hopefully will be opened by fall of this year. Ron also took part in a canvass of 800-1000 homes in the lake- shore section of Waterloo. The black Lutheran Centennial will be celebrated next year. There arc 150 Lutheran con- gregations in the U.S. of which 50% are black. Mrs. Nora Koessel, Detroit, and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Kersinksy, sidered contempt of the Levis- lature and almost certainly prompt another confidence test and election crisis. Speaking on Bill 96 as the Liberal Party's Agriculture Critic, I said it is our firm intention to force the Government to bring in a Bill which will really assist the farming community. Had the Government made an honest attempt to bring in a form of Farm Income Stabilization which would have been effective in giving our farmers a degree of income protection, we would not have hesitated to give it our approval. I proposed an amendment to Bill 96 which would make the plan one of protection rather than insurance, and on a voluntary and contributory basis with the government negotiating with legally constituted farm spokes- men. The amendment calls for the Bill to be reintroduced no later than October 31, this year. This amendment was an amen- dment to the one introduced by the NDP. We found that there were deficiencies in the rea- soned amendment by the NDP as it did not put any kind of time limit on the reintroduction of the Bill and the Bill could have been shelved indefinitely. The amend- ment also did not indicate that the principles incorporated in the plan would be open to producers of all farm products on a con- tributory basis. The Amendment introduced by the Liberal Party was supported by the NDP. Hopefully amended legislation will be introduced in the fall Palms, Michigan, attended the Miller-Riddell wedding and were guests f Mr. and Mrs. Albert rt Miller. Mrs. Koessel will spend a week here. Mrs. Wes England is a patient in University Hospital, London. Mrs. Laura Weido is a patient in South Huron Hospital, Exeter. Mrs. Amelia Willert and Mrs. Hector Murray poured tea at the trousseau tea of Patricia Annie Willert given by her mother Mrs. Gladys (Milton) Willert at her home in Goderich, Others attending were Mrs. Cliff Pen- hale, Nancy Smith and Suzanne, Mrs. Flossie Willert and Mrs. Lloyd Willert.

The Labour and. Health Mini- sters undertook to meet represen- tatives of the Boards of Health to seek an end to the board's dispute with public health nurses. Several hundred nurses booed and jeered when she said she couldn't make any promises, although she would try to per- suade boards to submit to volun- tary arbitration. About 1,100 nurses, members of the Ontario Nurses Association have been on strike or locked out at some 26 health units in a week-long pro- test. Nurses' Association repre. sentative met with Labour and Health Ministers privately, appointed, Annual salaries for public health nurses range from about $9,000 to $12,000 com- pared with hospital nurses who make between $13,380 and $15,780. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith told the Legislature the government should introduce legislation which would force the health boards to bargain on a province-wide basis and accept compulsory arbitration. James Bullbrook, Liberal MPP (Sarnia), and the Party's Labour Critic has introduced nine Private Members' Bills amending the Ontario Labour Relations Act. Among the proposals the tighter definitions of such terms as lock- out and supervisory personnel and the elemination of employee anti-union petitions as a con- sideration in union certification hearings. One bill provides for reopening of collective agree- ments in the event of significant technological change. Another is aimed at minimizing the num- ber of court appeals of arbi- trator's awards. The amend- ments also provide a definition of professional strikebreakers as well as prohibiting their use. They would make it more difficult for an employer to obtain an order stopping a strike and easier for a union to obtain a first collective agreement follow- in certification, fhe Government's Bill to pro- vide a warranty to buyers of new homes in Ontario was given approval in principle in the Legislature. This bill would provide for protection against poor workmanship of poor mater- ials for one year and major struct- ural defects for five years. The Minister of Consumer and Com- mercial Relations told the Legis- lature that a non-profit corpora- tion of builders, consumers, mortgage lenders and govenment will administer a fund, which would be used to pay for any repairs. Builders will contribute to the fund at a fixed rate for each house placed on the market. Although all three parties sup- ported the Bill, some amend- ments will be sought when it is debated in Committee. A Consumer Products Warran- ty Bill has also been introduced, but consumers will. have to wait for similar legislation from other provinces before the bill becomes law. The Government will not proceed with debate on the legislation, but will await response from the public, busi- ness, other provinces, and the federal government, I))
