Good shock absorbers will stop the bouncing after one bounce. Weak ones will keep it going two or more times. Sloppy weather coming up. Check your windshield wipers. Inexpensive replacement wiper blades may make a life-saving difference in your effective driving vision. If your engine overheats, it may be the thermostat, the fan belt or a leak — or it may be something as simple as a bad radiator cap.

Return forms for supplement Reminders to all recipients of the Guaranteed. Income Sup- plement to submit their ap- plications on time will be sub- mitted periodically. A reminder was sent during the week of February 4, to those people who have no income and who are receiving maximum benefits. It follows from this that such recipients are not waiting for T-4 slips before submitting their applications, Additional reminders will be sent on March 2, and subsequent dates to all people who have failed to return their ap- plications. Again I repeat that it is essential that these ap- plications be returned to the Health and Welfare Department prior to March 31. I am sure many of my con- stituents are wondering about the observance of Heritage Day and so I will take this opportunity to bring you up to date on this matter. For the last three years promotion of interest in Heritage Day has been a special project of Heritage Canada, an organization created by the Federal Government in the Heritage preservation field. Last year many Kinsmen's clubs were also involved in promoting Heritage Day. In response to a question in the Legislature last spring, the Minister of Culture and Recreation said the position the Government of Ontario had taken on Heritage Day, was that the Ontario'Government would wait to recognize the occasion when it was proclaimed a National holiday day or Day of Obser- vance by the Federal Govern- ment. On December 21, 1976, the Secretary of State for Canada placed before Parliament for first reading Bill C-30 entitled, An Act Respecting Certain Holidays. The Legislation is not expected to receive third reading and be proclaimed in time for this year and some changes to the section on Heritage Day may be made in the Committee stage. For instance while Heritage Canada has encouraged ob- servance on the third Monday in February, last year Alberta recognized the first Monday in- August as Heritage Day, and some operators of winter resorts are known to favour the second Monday in February to avoid the crush of American visitors celebrating Washington's bir- thday, coming on the same weekend as Canadians celebrating Heritage Day. Many school boards will continue to have a Heritage Day or Heritage Week as part of the curriculum in February this year as in other years, giving special emphasis to the rich variety of historical and cultural traditions in our society. At the end of the Fall session, the Ontario Legislature adopted some 48 new procedures. The new rules were produced by a Committee of the Legislature, based upon research and study material and the many recom- mendations of the Ontario Commission on the Legislature. The Commission was, as you will no doubt recall, appointed in 1972, in recognition of the fact that it was necessary to enhance the role of parliament and the power of parliamentarians. The Commission members were Conservative Dalton Camp, Liberal Farquhar Oliver and New Democrat Douglas Fisher. While some people may con- sider the new rules to be a major break-through, they are for the most part of a minor or housekeeping character. Some are no more than repetitions of current rules which have somehow become distorted, usually to the Government's advantage. For example, proposed legislation may not be called for second reading, that is approval in prinicple, until it has been printed, which enables Members to know what they are debating. This rule is repeated as if it were new, because the Government has often made a practice of pushing through bills before they are available in printed form. The daily Question Period has been lengthened to one hour, which means that more Members will have an opportunity to ask questions during the additional fifteen minutes. Party Leaders will be allowed two questions, and the remainder of the time will be allotted to the other Members, taking turns in rotation. Currently, there is no requirement in the parliamen- tary system that the government must answer questions. A Minister may or may not answer as he pleases, and he may how he chooses. There is only one recourse available to a Member who is dissatisfied with an an- swer to an oral question, and that is to force a half-hour debate before the Legislature rises on Tuesday nights, popularly called "the late show." In fact, written questions frequently stay on the Order Paper, unanswered, until the Legislature prorogues. Of course, this situation could easily 'be rectified by simply abolishing the rule that a Minister is not obliged to answer, thereby making it possible to table a motion of censure for failure to reply. However, neither the Special. Committtee nor the Legislature approached the problem in this way, Instead, the new rules provide for another "late show" on Thursday nights, for Members dissatisfied with answers to oral questions. With respect to written questions, a Minister will have to say within 14 days either that he isn't going to answer, or that the answer will be costly or time- consuming to prepare, Under the new rules, bills submitted by non-government Members may become law. For the first time, there is provision for a .Private Member's Bill to receive second and third reading, Traditionally these bills have been debated for an hour and then allowed to "die", but in. future two of these bills will be debated each Thursday afternoon with each of the parties taking turns in rotation to present this type of legislation. Unless there is an objection raised by twenty Members, each item will come to a vote at 6 p.m. that same af- ternoon. These changes will greatly enhance the role of the M.P.P. who will now have the same power as a Cabinet Member to introduce legislation, which may subsequently be passed under his name. With this prestige will come an added responsibility. As it is unlikely that a Member will have more than one opportunity to submit a Bill, he must choose an issue or an item which appeals to the majority of the House and is of province-wide importance. The rules make it clear that no bill of this type may involve the expenditure of public money. This is in accordance with the age-old parliamentary tradition which gives only the Government the right to collect and impose taxes and to spend taxpayer's money. I have mentioned that 20 Members may prevent a Bill from being voted upon. This provision differs from the British system, which allows one member's objection to prevent the vote, and will ensure that each bill receives the scrutiny that will prevent an erratic piece of legislation from becoming law. It will also force those who op- pose a bill to organize their op- positon and to find serious reasons for their opposition, Access to background material will be given to Members for any government bill or policy statement. This will allow Opposition Members and government back-benchers ah opportunity to be briefed on the background to government ac- tion, and is a major step towards the concept of freedom of in- formation in the Province. Additional copies of bills are to be printed so that members of the public Will have a greater op- portunity to study controversial bills before these are debated. Please contact me if you would like any further information on any of these changes, or if you wish to receive a copy of a par- ticular bill. By MRS.

When one of the furnaces blew up in the United Church last week the whole church could have gone up in flames, fortunately, outside a very dirty church and a broken window where some of the debris made a hasty exit, very little damage was done, A new furnace window and cleaning of the whole church is all that is needed. Albert Miller, who underwent surgery in Victoria hospital, London, is expected home this weekend. Mrs. Miller is spending the time with friends in London. CE ANUF ACIORtik S CLEAR 4
