THE BRUSSELS something of a contradiction about this good- Ontario's Welfare payments will increase next month for about half these now in the rolls. Rene Brunelle, Commenity and Social Services Minister, indicated Ontario will ad $16 million to its welfare expendi- tures commencing January 1st, 1973, to give blind, disabled, the elderly and separated mothers with children an average 10% increase in their welfare payments. The increase will affect 3/4 of the 82,000 single people and families now on family bene- fits, the welfare scheme ad- ministered by the province. The Government does not have any immediate plans toincrease the rates for people on general welfare assistance, the munici- pally administered scheme; the latest figures releaseci by the province show a caseload of 57,600. The committee on social de- velopment will recommend a slightly milder version of the legislation controlling denturists to the Legislature for third and final reading. The committee's clause by clause analysis of the controver- sial legislation yesterday pro- duced a number of amendments that will make the bill more palatable to the denturisti, al- though none of these constitutes a major victory. The most significant change in the legislation was an amend- ment that while still requiring denture therapists to perform work inside thd mouth in a dentist's office, would allow them to do mechanical construction of the dentures in a place of their choosing. The previous wording would have required them to work en- tirely in a dentist's office. Previously the Government announced it plans to amend the Dentistry Act to ensure that there will be enough dentistS previding low cost dentures to Meet the need. The amendments will also lesislate the cost of such den- tures - $180 now with any future increases requiring the consent of the Cabinet. Premier William Davis said this week he will put forward leg- islation c ompelling political par- ties to disclose contributions made by companies or institut- ions such as trade unions, a reversal of a strong stand he took against diSclosure three weeks ago. • The Premier said he has ordered a Commission to con- sider the whole area of reform of the present methods of party financing in Ontario. Mr. Davis made the state- ment just before a non-confi- dence opposition motion based on the Ficlinam affair, lack of reform on election spending and redistribution of ridings. Accept tender for -addition, The tender of Pounder Brothers of Stratford was accepo- ted at a special Meeting of the Huren,perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board Wednesday night for the con- struction of an addition to 'St, AloysiUs Separate School in Stratford. John. Vintar, superintendent pf education, said the firm's bid of $199,795 less $6,550 for lockers, brought the amount of the tender to $193,246. The major sub-trades were awarded to Ron Saunders Plumb- ing and Heating, Stratford, for • plumbing and heating, and R. T. McBride Limited of Stratford for electrical. Brian Garratt and Bri Reid of Kyles, Kyles and Garratt of Stratford attended the meeting and provided details. Final approval for the work has to be received from the ministry of education before work can begin. Completion date to July 1, 1973. the powers that be take note that Christmas time means travelling time for those who come, or go, to spend Christmas with their families. It takes a great deal of pleasure away from the occasion when driving must be done in hazardous stormy or icy condit- ions. To be forced to cancel such a trip means disappointment to all concerned and a lonely Christmas for some. What is Christmas if you cannot spend it with loved ones! * * * * * Pedestrians have been grate- ful to our local utility man, David Hastings, for salting icy side walks. Walking has been extremely precarious in some areas, particularly for older folk and the not so sure-footed. Falls on slippery spots can be very dangerous to life and limb. * * * * * Everything is going up in price. 'Even fines for illegal parking in Brussels. Beware car owners! Don't leave your car parked overnight on any village street, If you do it is at your own risk in addition to which you will be subject to a $3.00 fine instead of the $1.00 prev- iously levied and your car just might be towed away. The Vil- lage Fathers are not trying to be mean or greedy. The By-Law against overnight parking on streets is to facilitate snow ploughing between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 8 :00 a.m. Also for the protection of owner's vehicles against damage by snow- ploughs. In all the joyfulness of Christ- mas, the family reunions, visit- ing, gift-giving, feasting and celebrating, the real meaning of Christmas is sometimes lost. The festive season is indeed a time to be jolly but it has become so commercialized that , the real reason for joy, Christ, Is too often left out a Christ- mas. “Unto you is born this Saviour, which is Christ the Lbrd". ****** ***** ****** The cold winds that chilled them as they provided the music for the Santa Claus Parade Saturday afternoon in no way dampened the spirits of at least some members of the Royal Canadian Legion Pipe Band. After the par- ade they entertained at both hotels and on the street as they made their way from the one to the other. To the many folk of SCot- tish descent in this community the Skirl of the pipes and the swing Of the kilts are weldos*e sound and sight.
