Supplementary estimates
providing for the spending of an
additional $496 million by the
provincial government in. the
current financial year were
presented to. the Legislature this
week.
They .show that the province
will need that amount over and
above the 8.3 billion listed in the
April budget to pay for its various.
programs until the end of March
1975.
Much of the increased
spending is by the Health and
Education Ministries.
The total cash deficit put at
$847. million on October 31st
xuld rise to about $900 million by
the end of the year according to
some Treasury estimates.
A new Ministry of Culture -and
Recreation is to be established by

Legislation is expected soon to

Snow can

It's all well and good for a
'armor to adopt a new building
'dea, but if he attempts to
'transplant' a design from the
south to the snowbelt without
structural changes, he could be in
br trouble. An agricultural
:ngineer with the Ontario Minis-
xy of Agriculture and Food,
li.E.Bellman, warns farmers not
,0 "get lulled into a sense of
iecurity that buildings in use in
Ontario's southwest are good all
areas of the province".
"We've had lighter-than-
formal snowfall in the past few
ears, but there's no evidence to
low that this will continue," he
oints out.
When designing and locating
ny type of agricultural structure,
le farmer should remember that
te carrying capacity of all rafters
:iould handle the heaviest snow
,ads in his area.
The varying climatic conditions
.ithin Ontario are particularly
vident in the winter. As a result
f these differences, engineers
ave developed an accurate guide
f snowload requirements in the
province. The guide outlines the
.ccommendations for building
onstruetion: a building in Bruce
County, for example, must be
capable of withstanding three to
four times the snow load of the,
same building in Essex County.
He recommends that farmers
considering new ideas for
buildings check with an agricul-
tural engineer at the local county
or district office of the Ministry.
By checking the design capacities
of each building, he can help
insure it will withstand local
climatic problems.

The Education Act 1974 was
passed thiS week and among its
274 sections is section 49 which
permits parents of children
attending a public or secondary
school to visit the school at any
time. The same privilege is
extended to Members 'of
Parliament • and Clergymen to
visit any school within their
constituency or district as the
case may be.
The idea behind this is that
parents do have the right, to visit
educational facilities where their
children arc being educated and
for 'which they are paying.
Beer and soft drink cans with
pull tab openers will be replaced

suggestion that deposits on beer.
