and she wasn't hurt. I saw an
old fashioned car. That was
funny because this clown
was driving and the clown
heard a noise. So he got out
and put his face in the hood
and there was a bang. It
scared the clown. His face
was black and he was not
happy.i Then the clown fell
out and the car took off and
the car went under him. And
he heard a bang and teh
clown's pants and shirt came
off. And the clown jumped
around and all the people at
the circus laughed. It was
funny.l saw a girl swing onto
this man and the girl
dropped.. It was a good
thing that the net was there
or she would be hurt. I
enjoyed it all.

Dioxin, one of the most
toxic of chemicals, has been
found in minute quantities in
fish taken from Lake Ontario.
It is the first time the
chemical has been
discovered in fish from the
lake.
Environment Minister
Harry Parrot stated that
there is no doubt about the
safety of drinking water from
Lake Ontario. However, he
said that the ministry has
never tested for dioxin in the
province's drinking water or
fish.
The minister also said that
"there is no danger in the
quantities of fish we are
likely to consumer in
Ontario". He does advise that
pregnant women, nursing
mothers and children should
not eat fish caught in Lake
Ontario, however. Also,
adults are cautioned to eat
only the occasional meal of
fish. "If it's only one or two
fish a week, then that's
fine."
The Opposition has
strongly condemned the
Government for sponsoring
advertisements in British
newspapers for skilled
workers while there are
319,000 people unemployed
in Ontario.
Apparently, an advertise-
ment in the London Sun in
March called for experienced
tradesmen to work in the
General Motors transmission
plant in Windsor. Although
the ad was paid for by the
automotive company. it was
Placed and sponsored by the
Ontario Government's
selective placement service
in London.
When asked why Ontario
residents are not being
trained to fill such positions,
the Minister of Education
replied that she was not
aware of the advertisement,
and that while adequate
training exists in Ontario, the
Government can't "go out
and coerce people into
training programs".
Union spokesmen,
however, say they were not
notified of the vacancies.
They say there are more than
'600 unemployed tradesmen
in the Toronto area with
skills required for some of
the jobs.
Canada Manpower con-
ducted "an exhaustive
nationwide search for mill-
wrights, electrical repair-
men, tool makers, tool and
die makers and metal
machine mechanics" before
giving GM permission to hire
95 journeymen from Europe,
according to a spokesman.
Industry and Tourism
Minister Larry Grossman
told the Legislature that his
ministry also help 1 with the
search. "We saw quite
clearly that efforts were
made to find skilled workers
in Ontario and Canada," he
said.
A group of Ontario home
owners has filed a class
action suit asking the
Supreme Court of Ontario to
order the Canadian
Standards Association and
Ontario Hydro to pay for the
rewiring of every home inOe
province that contains
aluminum wiring.
The suit, filed by lawyers
for the Aluminum Wiring
Home Owners. Action,
estimates the rewiring job
would cost $375 million,
making it one of the largest
class actions ever filed.
Spokesmen for the CSA
and Ontario Hydro said they
can't understand the filing of
the suit, or the presumption
that aluminum wiring is
dangerous, in light of the
finding of Tuzo Wilson's
one-man royal commission
that properly installed
aluminum wiring is safe.
