Among the highlights were a promise of an employment development fund to co-ordinate aid to in­ dustry and “spur economic activity and employment”. The Provincial Treasurer is to be chairman of a special board of Ministers to decide which companies qualify for assistance, and how much money is to be involved in each case. New measures are to be taken to .nuuurage the flow Of risk capital into new and expanding small businesses, and the speech indicated that programs to encourage investment in en­ trepreneurial business ven­ tures have failed in recent years. One rumoured possibility is a form of tax rebate for money invested. The Minister of Labour will henceforth be known as the Minister of Labour and Will introduce bill to help northern primary emphasis of this session should be directed to improving the economic climate of Ontario or to im­ proving the social services available to our people. In truth, extensive attention must be paid to both”. Home care services for the chronically ill will be ex­ tended and hospitals will get additional beds. Speaking of hospitals I questioned the Minister of Health in the Legislature about the rationale that was used in arriving at a formula of 3.5 beds per 1000 popula­ tion which will create ex­ treme difficulties for hospitals in many areas of Ontario. The Minister indicated that economies and efficien­ cies of operation were taken into consideration as was the make-up. of the popula­ tion in the various areas. He said that there would be ad­ justments made in the program, and that ad­ ditional chronic beds will be allowed in areas of the province where the percen­ tage of senior citizens ex- Manpower, and will be responsible for job creation programs. There is to be greater emphasis on more training in skilled trades and on the development of "a more positive attitude among young people” toward these trades. Priority is promised for special programs for women in the public and private sec­ tors. An Equal Opportunity Advisory Committee com­ posed of senior labour and management represen­ tatives, is to be established within the Labour Ministry. Food prices are, of course, a matter of concern to the average citizen, and the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial relations is to assist consumers make in­ formed choices by es­ tablishing a program to monitor and report on prices across the province.. Some of the Money made on the sale of Ontario’s shares in the syncrude oil- sandS project in Alberta is to go to energy-related businesses, including those using energy produced from waste, and the government hopes soon to launch a joint program with the federal government which would make available some $58 million over~a five year period to demonstrate new technology in energy conser- vation and renewable energy. / See film at Elimville fellowship meeting / By MRS.

Legislation is to be in­ troduced to allow unorganiz­ ed Northern municipalities to give locally elected bodies the power to raise revenue and provide basic services. General insurance agents and brokers will be per­ mitted to become self­ regulating, as a step toward removing what many people consider government over­ regulation. The government has main­ tained that spending on social services will not be reduced in favour of grants to industry, and "after careful review’’ it has withdrawn a suggestion mentioned by the Premier in a recent speech, that some drugs might no longer be available under the drug benefit program for the elderly. The Throne Speech stated that "some may wish to argue as to whether ceeds the provincial average of 8.6%. Huron and Bruce Counties fall in that category with aged population of 12.9 and 13,3 per cent respectively. Hopefully, adjustments will be made to account for this. The Minister also in­ dicated that he will be work­ ing though the Health Coun­ cils where applicable, or, where there is no Health Council, he will deal with hospitals on an area basis where there is a request for consideration for additional chronic beds. Although far from being a solution to the problem it would help considerably if chronic beds were approved rather than elimination of hospital beds in their entire­ ty- „ Starting ApriT 1st there is to be a $9.80 per diem fee for those using chronic care beds for a period longer than 60 days. Home care services for chronically ill patients who wish to live at home, but who require some nur­ sing and other medical assistance, will be extended. The International Year of towns the Child is to be marked by an intensive immunization awareness campaign directed at the public, and particularly parents of young children. Specialized services such as poison con­ trol centres will be es­ tablished in the children’s hospitals. The second phase of The Children’s Law Reform Act will recognize the best interests of the child in custody and access cases. Foster care programs for mentally retarded and emotionally disturbed children will be expanded. Increased funding will be allocated to programs to counter child abuse. This year’s Civic Holiday on August 6th, will be declared Children’s Day in all provin­ cial parks! One of the most notable aspects of the Throne Speech was the un­ precedented emphasis upon national unity and con­ stitutional reform. The Government’s position will no doubt, come before the House in the near future, for unanimous support.
