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.
