(Liberal Essex North) has urged the Chairman of the Federal Anti-Inflation Board to review the profit structures of Union Gas and Consumers Gas. "Customers of these gas companies are restricted to annual wage increases of ap- proximately 8 percent," said Mr. Ruston, "yet last year Union Gas had a 25 percent increase in profits, and the profit increase •quormer for consumers Gas was ap- proNimateiy 15 percent. Union Gas made a profit of $24,283,000; Consumers Gas a profit of $37,236,000. For the first six months of 1977 fiscal year, up to March 31, Consumers already showed a profit of $33,202,000. "This situation is particularly unfair, in view of the fact that severe weather conditions in the early part of the year forced heating bills to increase tremendously, placing a very heavy financial burden on con- sumers, while at the same time boosting the profits of the sup- pliers. "I am well, aware that profits must be made to ensure effective operation of these companies and to provide for research, but for suppliers to make profits well in excess of Anti-Inflation guidelines at the expense of their customers • Task force created for tourist industry SANTA CLAUS PARADE * PARADE ON MAIN ST. * FREE SKATING AT ARENA 3 P.M. — 5 P.M. * FREE BABYSITTING AT ARENA arrangements are approved in advance by the Superintendent of Business; asked the administration for a report comparing the Board's rates on different categories of insurance with ,that of surrounding boards and also commenting on the types of coverage. The Middlesex Board of Education has committees studying two important features of current public educational concern: Values Education and the Teaching of French as a second language. Both committees consist of representative teachers, • school trustees, administrative and resource staff, Home and School Council members and, in the case of the French committee, secondary school students. The Values Education Com- mittee is looking at studies carried out by various educators over the years and is examining theories of moral development in young people. The committee's work will help the board and its teachers to better appreciate the need for, and the place of values education in elementary and secondary school courses and • activities. The work of the French com- mittee includes • reviewing present programs in elementary and secondary schools, examining enrolment trends in French programs, conducting an opinion survey throughout the county, and receiving comments and briefs from individuals and groups. This work will help the board and its teachers to assess com- munity needs and desires, im- prove programs where required, and anticipate future staff and program requirements. In addition to dealing with routine business matters and some committee of the whole in camera items concerning negotiations and personnel, reported in the complete minutes of the meeting, the Board: accepted the Striking Com- mittee's recommendation that Messrs.
