Because the Scotia Plan Loan Officer you speak with has full authority to approve most loans on the spot. No need to check with computers or higher-ups. 2 You don't have to bank with us to borrow from us. We want your loan business, no matter where you do your day-to-day banking. Mind you, we'd like to have that business too. 3 You can phone for a loan and get even faster service. Call the Scotia Plan Loan Officer at our branch near you. I f you've borrowed from us before, in most cases you can get an approval over the phone. If you haven't, you'll give us a chance to get most of the paperwork done by the time you drop in to ,agn. We'll go into overtime to get your loan business. if you can't visit us during banting hours, phone. We'll arrange a time that is convenient for both of us. 5 Approving loans is our business.Your reason for borrowing is yours. Yes, a Scotia Plan Loan Officer will ask why you want the money. But that's because some loans (car loans, for example) can be approved more quickly than others, and the Loan Officer can save you some time. 6 Scotiabank has approved more than 5 1/2 million consumer loans. So when it comes to loans,we know what we're doing. We didn't get to be a leader in the field of consumer hank loans by turning people off or by letting them get into repayment plans that are too tough to handle. 7t01,848 Our1,842 Scotia Plan Loan Officers. Approving loans is their job, Each has been specially trained to put our money to work in the form of consumer loans. So you speak directly with someone trained in responsible lending, someone who is in businesN-to approve loans.

Ontario has abolished the con- cept of the illegitimate child for all purposes of law, and has set up a legal framework to help es- tablish parentage even when the parents have never been married to each other. This will go into effect March 31st, 1978. Any discrimination on the basis of illegitimacy becomes il- legal, and the legislation will have special significance in court cases involving inheritance claims, since illegitimate children will have the same stan- ding as all other children when either a father or mother (or both) die without leaving a will. Before the new law, il- legitimate children had no claim before the courts. Another Bill which has received Royal Assent is that raising the minimum legal age for marriage to 16 from Parental consent will still be required for 16 year olds to marry. Another section of the legisla- tion legalized last-minute infor- mal wills. A holograph will of this kind must be entirely in the handwriting of the deceased, followed by his or her signature. A printed form signed without a witness does not constitute a holograph will. The estates law also increases the preferential share, of a spouse if either a husband or wife dies without a will to $75,000 from $50,000 and provides a for- mula for determining a preferen- tial share in cases of partial in- testacy, that is, when the will does not refer to all property owned by the deceased. The Provincial government will soon announce plans to close down some of its old county jails and some newer corrective cen- tres to save money, according to the Minister of Correctional Ser- vices, Mr. Frank Drea. Factors which will be taken into consideration are the condi- tion of the jail, its distance from the nearest comparable facility, what kinds of prisoners are being held. The government operates 33 county jails, seven detention centres and 15 correctional cen- tres. At present about 4,300 people are employed in Ontario's cor- rectional system, and the Minister has, he says, given a commitment that no jobs will be lost as a result of these budget cuts. The Government's proposed five-cent tax on soft-drink cans has been scrapped, firmly re- jected by Opposition Parties. The Minister, Mr. George Kerr, has stated that he will not try to introduce a bill to impose it this session and is considering session with a measure accep- table to the Liberals — a deposit on cans instead of a tax. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith has called upon the Government to spend more money to help stem the growing incidence of child abuse. He informed the Minister of Community and Social Services, The Honourable Keith Norton, in the Legislature that officials expect. a 40% in- crease in child abuse cases this year, and money allotted to Children's Aid Societies is "rather low". The Minister said the government's package of about 100 proposed legislative amendments concerning child care should be made public quite soon, Child abuse task forces have, he said, already been es- tablished in many communities and are "already having a significant impact on the recognition and detection of child abuse", Ontario Municipal Elections will henceforth be held on the se- cond Monday in November. Previously voting day has been the first Monday in December. A Select Committee of the Legislature has been appointed to examine the entire scope of Ontario Hydro's current and The Hydro Select Committee consists of six. Conservative Members, four Liberals and four NDP Members with Mr. Donald C. MacDonald, NDP for York South as Chairman. The terms of reference for the committee are broad enough to allow committee members to question everything from the current construction of heavy water plants in Bruce County to Ontario's commitment to nuclear power. Before the appointment of the committee, the NDP caucus had been arguing that only brief terms of reference were re- quired but the Liberals kept in- sisting that, the terms of reference include the cost of con- struction of two heavy water plants being built by Hydro at the Bruce County Nuclear Power Development, and they were successful. Eight clauses of the terms of reference refer specifically to the Bruce nuclear project. The terms of reference allow the committee to inquire into the cost of construction of the two heavy water plants at the Bruce site, but its major terms allow it to discuss Hydro power rate in- creases and to "examine On- tario's nuclear commitment", The terms overlap with the Porter Royal Commission which is examining Ontario Hydro's long range planning options, in- cluding nuclear power. By January, both Dr. Arthur Porter and the select committee will be holding simultaneous hearings, many of which are bound to raise the same issues — even though Hydro's commitment and plans for further development of nuclear power in the province are already well underway. The select committee's terms, for example, call for it to ex- amine Ontario Hydro's planning strategy for adopting nuclear power, and in particular largz versus small generating stations, remote stations versus sites close to urban areas, and the ratio of nuclear fuel generating stations that should be built in comparison to fossil fuel stations. Also to be considered by the Select Committee are the economics of nuclear power ver- sus generation from other primary fuels; the performance and reliability of 'nuclear power stations; the nuclear power stations; the nuclear generating stations; and environmental im- pact and health considerations related to nuclear power. The section of the terms of reference which calls for an ex- amination of power rates will allow MPPs to raise the question of how Canada's participation in an international uranium cartel may have affected the cost of power in Ontario.
