Junior Citizens
of the Year

The purpose
This program will be inaugurated in
Ontario to provide recognition for
outstanding achievements or acts of
courage and initiative, by boys and girls
between the ages of six and eighteen
years. It will include individual awards
presented for meritorious conduct, and
special group awards for recognition of
the efforts of young people throUghout
the communities of the province.
The reason
Extraordinary deeds of Ontario boys and
girls are often performed within the
community. We need you, the local
nominators and newspaper editors, to
bring these outstanding young people
to our attention, so that we will be able
to give them the honour and public
recognition, which they so richly deserve.
Who is eligible
Young individuals who have performed
acts of heroism, perhaps endangering
their own lives, overcoming disabling
physical or psychological handicaps to
match or exceed their peers, or being
involved in some worthwhile community
service endeavour.
For further information contact your
local newspaper or Ontario Weekly

PEA HARVESTER Rev. Ken Innes of Brussels spent the past winter
inventing this pea sheller to shell his garden peas. He took his idea
mainly from a pamplet on one designed by the Minnesota Experimental
Station with some of his own modifications. Construction includes a wire
mesh drum with wooden paddles inside which shell the peas. The peas
then drop out the front. Although the machine in the diagram is operated
by a hand crank,, Ken's runs on electrical power and is capable of shelling
a six quart basket of peas in less than a minute.

M.P.P.
The Ontario Legislature
has adjourned for the sum-
mer recess. During the 11-
week spring session, some 30
pieces of legislation received
final reading, In a normal
session, approximately 80
bills are usually passed, but
there was a late beginning to
legislative business due to
the March 19 provincial
election. In addition, opposi-
tion to the ad valorem gas tax
bill further delayed business,
as 30 MPPs spoke against
the bill, arguing that the
rising tax is an undue burden
on the already-high price of
energy. Nevertheless, using
the weight of their 70-seat
majority, the Government
pushed through the bill.
Other legislation passed
during the session inclu des
bills to:
-empower the health minis-
try to appoint a supervisor to
run any public hospital, as
has been done at Toronto
East General;
-establish the Ontario Waste
Management Corporation to
run an industrial liquid waste
facility in South Cayuga;
-increase personal income
taxes in Ontario by nine per
cent;
-prevent the eviction of Tor-
onto Island residents until at
least the end of the year, or
until a 'permanent solution
can be found;
-increase Workmen's Com-
pensation Board benefits-re-
troactive to July 1, 1979 -
over a two year period, by
nine and 10 per cent;
-allow Ontario Hydro to sell
steam energy.
The matter of landlords of
buildings exempted from
Ontario's rent control legisla-
tion luring tenants with low
rents and then gouging them
with increases in the second
year was raised in the Ontar-
io Legislature. It has been
charged that this "loss lead-
er" method is being practic-
ed in apartment units built
after 1976, especially in
many of the newer areas
such as Scarborough, Rex-
dale, Mississauga. The Min-
ister of Consumer and Com-
mercial Relations contends
the problem is even worse in
the downtown areas, where
demand for apartments is
greater.
In an effort to clear up the
backlog of 1,300 cases, rent
review hearing officers from
other parts of the province
are to be brought into Metro.
The current six per cent
increase level has not yet
been changed, although the
Government has indicated
that changes are coming.
Liberal MPP John Sween-
ey (Kitchener-Wilmot) has
stated that because the Ont-
ario Government has refused
to act against mind-develop-
ment groups, the province is
being deluged by such cults.
The Attorney-General res-
ponded by saying that while
no legislation has been im-
plemented since Daniel
Hill's report on cults was
completed, the study has
contributed to public aware-
ness. Government response
has been delayed by police
investigation.
The Ontario Government
plans to change the Censor
Board. Civil servants cur-
rently.on the Board are to be i
replaced. However, three
members of the Board who
were critical of Board policies
have been the only people to
lose their jobs. One other
member of the Board who
was not critical of the Board
policy remains in place.
After months of unrelent-
ing criticism over its regula-
tion of Re-Mor Investment
Management Corp., the
r Ontario Government is poll-
ing the public for attitudes on
the licencing of financial
institutions. Results of the
$18,000 poll will be
presented to the Legislature
in October*
