HE HAD TO COME IN ALL THE WAY FROM
WALTON—Paul Ponomarenko had to come in
from Walton to claim his prize, but $100 'sure
makes for a great incentive as Paul was the
winner of the BBA draw held at Stephenson's
Bakery and Grocery on Friday night: Presenting
him with the $100 is Bill Stephenson. The next
draw is to be held at McCutcheonMotors.

Minister trusts
oif company data
BY MURRAY GAUNT,
M.P.P.
Ontario Energy Minister
Robert Welch indicated this
week that he trusts
information on heating oil
supplies provided by oil
companies more than he
trusts data from the National
Energy Board and Prime
Minister Joe Clark.
Mr. Welch was replying to
opposition charges that a
heating oil supply crisis is
approaching while Ontario
waits passively.
During the emergency
.;,islature debate, Mr.
said that based on
day-to-day discussions with
the major oil companies and
NEB federal officials, he had
"no basis for believing that
the supply situation for fuel
oil has deteriorated to the
extend implied by the Prime
Minister earlier this week".
(Mr. Clark said the NEB had
concluded "there may be
limited shortages this winter
in Canada".)
The Attorney-General has
told the Legislature's justice
committee that he is
considering giving policemen
the discretion to hand out 24
-hour licence suspensions to
drivers who have been
drinking. Anyone given such
an on-the-spot suspension
would have to make his or
her own way home, and the
car (plus licence) would be
returned 24 hours later.
While the details of such a
scheme have not yet been
worked out, it would have to
be carried out in conjunction
with widespread use of the
"Alert" portable
breathalyzer machines which
are used by police to deter-
mine whether a dr iver
should be taken to the station
for a test on a breathalyzer,
which is capable .of giving
more accurate readings.
After an illegal strike
which lasted two and a half
days, the Province's 3,000
prison guards have voted 70
per cent in favour . of a
tentative settlement which
would send the key issue in
the dispute - a separate
bargaining unit for the
guards - to binding
arbitration. During the
course of the dispute, the
union president pleaded
guilty in the Supreme Court
of Ontario to contempt in
defying a court injunction
which forbade prison guards
to strike. Both sides have
agreed to a list of six
arbitrators, including the
current mediator. The strike
left management personnel
in charge of jails, with
Ontario Provincial Police and
the Canadian Forces alerted
And prepared to respond in
case of trouble.
Assessment hearings will
soon begin into the
construction of a $4-million
storage site for
polychlorinated biphenyls
near Brantford, Ontario. The
site, which has a planned
capacity of 5,000 tons of
PCBs, is a Hydro trans-
former station about 15 km.
from Brantford and 6 km.
from Middleford.
Currently 550 tons of PCBs
are stored at various sites
around the province, and
another 14,430 tons are in
use, mostly in transformers.
While PCBs have been used,
mainly in electrical trans-
formers and capacitors, since
1929, in recent years a link
has been established
between these chemicals and
cancer, liver and skin
diseases, and birth defects.
The Minister of the
Environment was attacked
by Opposition Members for
his refusal to assist public
interest groups in preparing
their cases for the hearings:
