Jack Riddell Middlesex), the agriculture critic, to statements made about him by Middlesex Con­ servative Bob Eaton. Riddell complained that Eaton had accused him in a press release of “playing games with the interests of agriculture” over the oc­ cupational health and safety bill. Eaton had said Riddell was being “completely irresponsible” in trying to convince farmers that it was the Liberals who are at­ tempting to get agriculture exempted from the provisions of the bill. Eaton’s charges, said Riddell, are “erroneous.” He said the Liberals moved an amendment to the bill in , committee to exempt farms unless they were designated by regulation and it was defeated by the Con­ servatives on the committee, including Eaton and the NDP. Eaton said later outside the house that the govern­ ment had never intended that farms be included, but the NDP and the Liberals had passed an amendment making the bill apply to everyone. He said it originally was drafted to cover only in­ dustrial, mining* and con­ struction sectors. Eaton said he and the other Conservative mem- • bers of the committee i decided to vote against the ] subsequent Liberal amend- ; ment to. exclude farms ] because it wasn’t fair to the i other groups which had (Huron- Liberal objected Riddell accused Dr. Stephenson and “her sup­ porters over their including the member for Middlesex” of “holding farmers of this province as hostages.” The government is saying, said Riddell that farmers shouldn’t be covered by the provisions of, the bill, but won’t agree to exclude them, “unless the minister gets her way on other aspects of Bill 70 that are., completely unrelated.” The government is upset with some of the amend­ ments passed by the Liberals and the NDP, particularly the one widening the jurisdiction of the bill. Eaton said the objections the government has to the changes made in the bill by orginally been exempt to cir- “unrelated” to the question of inclusion of farms. He said that because of the problems with the bill, he didn’t know what the status of the bill is now or when it would be debated in the legislature. Riddell said later it would be “ludicrous” for farms to come under provisions meant to apply to the mining industry. He said the agriculture industry wants single out farming for exemption. He said Labor Minister Bette Stephenson had of­ fered to talk with groups such as farmers and policemen and other public employees to see how specific regulations could be drafted under the bill to suit their particular cumstances. Eaton said the application of certain parts of the bill that were designed for the some input into specific mining or construction in­ dustry “don’t make sense” when applied to the farmer or the policeman. In the house, Eaton told Riddell that the truth hurts you. He stuck by his earlier statments about Riddell, saying they were “right on.” the opposition aren’t regulations which would be suitable for farms. Why not have Theo meet with you soon?

It was the fourth annual police appreciation night sponsored by District 31 of the Knights of Columbus, and organizers said the event is intended to promote public awareness^ of and support for the work of the police. ! . BelT, who was guest speaker, said that often “the public doesn’t overdo it on appreciation for their policemen —■ and it’s felt within the forces.” The result, he said, is often frustration for the police officers: He said that society tends to hand over all respon­ sibility to the police. But, he added, “the policemen are part of the public and the public must be part of the police . . . Otherwise the policemen’s efforts will be futile.” Bell said he doesn’t know how to solve the problem of isolation of the policemen from their communities. “The forces encourage their policemen to make an' effort to become, involved in the commu'hit^hut because of a policeman’s1 hours that can be difficult.” , y' He said if the isolation continues, it will tend to create a “we-them feeling instead of an us feeling.” Afesin 2E is a clear liquid herbicide that’s given excellent A results as a preemergent spray for over seven years now.
