This week the Minister of
Labour, the Honourable Fern
Guindon, announced certain
amendments to the workmen's
Compensation Act providing for
adjustments in the current level
of benefits, the proposed in-
creases to be effective July 1st.
The two main provisions of
the Act which will be altered
are as follows:
(1) the existing ceiling
on earnings will be increased
from $9,000 to $10,000;
(2) the minimum compensat-
ion for permanent total dis-
ability will be raised from
$175 to $250 per month.
The totally disabled, widows,
and children will receive the
major benefits from the increases
as well as those workmen who
are temporarily deprived of their
usual income from employment.
The Workmen's Compen-
sation Board assesses over
40,000 claims each year.

The Provincial' Health Insur-
ance Plan cost Ontario tax-
payers $39.12 million last Aug-
ust and $42.08 million in
September according to figures
released by Health Minister
Richard Potter.
The estimated cost of OHIP
during the present fiscal year
is $572.5 million, as compared
to $540.85 million last year. The
increase reflects population
growth and increased partici-
pation.in the plan.
Premier William Davis has
announced a major reduction in
freight rates for Northern On
tar io.
The reduction on selected
rates will average about 18% into
and out of the area served by
the ontario Northland Transpor-
tation Commission.
Debate still raged this week
bver the sales tax increase. The
Opposition has claimed the sales
tax is regressive hitting the poor
the hardest and at the same time
is inflationary causing prices to
go up.
Mr. White, Ontario',s Trea-
surer, has said that the combin-
ation of property tax reductions
and sales tax credits add up 'to
tax cuts which far exceed the
sales tax increases for low in-
come families.
The debate is expected to, wind
up on Friday of this week, :11
days after the tax became ap-
plicable.
The ceiling on subsidies for
capital construction of water and
sewage works was recently
raised from 50% to '75% in order
to make such projects available '
to smaller municipalities.
According to Ontario's En-
vironment Minister James Auld
this change involves, based on
present needs alone, 50 sewage
works and 29 water works pro-
grammes. Over the next 5 years
the Government expects to spend
over $95 million on subsidies -
$27 million more thanwould have
been spent under the 50% grant
struCture.
Cigarettes
and
coal dust
Inhaling coal dust is a threat
to the lungs. So is cigarette
smoking.
Miners are alarmed about
their on-the-job hazards. And
new laws have been passed which
require tighter regulations to
protect miners at work.
Improved ventilation in mines
and an increased use of wet drill-
ing should help cut down some
of the occupational hazards. And
there are other steps miners
themselves can take to protect
their embattled lungs.
One of these steps is to stop
smoking. A recent study by the
'U.S. Public Health Service, in
fact, shows that cigarette smok-
ing among miners causes even
more lung distress than the dusty
air coal miners inhale at work.
Coal miners are not allowed
to smoke at work. But studies
have found that the average coal
miner smokes just as many ci-
garettes a day as the average
non-miner. Since they smoke the'
same amount in a shorter span
of time, the miners' exposure to
cigarette smoke is much more
concentrated.
In the study of 8,555 miners,
the PHS team found that more
than half of the smokers had
chronic bronchitis., For non-
smokers, in contrast, the percen-
tage was cut in half: only 26
percent of the nonsmoking miners
had bronchitis. For ex-smokers,
the rate was reduced to 31 per-
cent.
Smoking , damages the cilia,
tiny broom-like , structures that
sweep germs and dirt out of the
lungs. Cilia damaged by smoking
cannot remove inhaled coal dust
effectively. The combination of
smoking and exposure to coal
dust is a double threat to the
lungs.
Miners can help protect their
lungs by quitting smoking. So
can• everyone else. Cigarette
smoking is the major cause of
chronic lung diseases. To find
out ways to quit smoking, &Mimi:

It's a matter of life and breath..
