He and his wife, Fran,
were both working in
Jamaica at a school for deaf
,children prior to their
marriage and return to
Toronto. They have an eight
month old son.
At present it is uncertain
how many children will be
living at the new residence,
but accommodation is
provided for up to seven
students, with placements
moving in shortly.

open question at this point.
"We firmly believe that' God
will aliswer our needs", Tim
testified.
Leader Stuart Smith angrily
denounced the government
for its failure to act in seven
main areas:
Restoration of economic
growth and prosperity after
a decade of decline in the
1970s.
Protection of Ontarians
from escalating, interest
rates on mortgages, small
business loans and farmer
loans,
Establishment of a fair
revenue-sharing agreement
with municipalities and
school boards.
Reversing the erosion of
Ontario's health care.
Development of the talents
and skills of young people.
Protection of the en-
vironment from dangerous
and unnecessary pollution.
Lessening the province's
dependence on oil by the
development of alternative
energy sources.
The NDP Leader indicated
in his speech that he would
not support a motion of non-
confidence.
Energy plan
The Minister of Energy
has unveiled a 15-year $3-
billion plan to generate
energy from waste - if the
private sector will kick in
with its share of the finan-
cing. He estimated a saving
of 27 million barrels of oil
annually by 1995 through
conversion of industrial,
municipal and forest wastes
to usable energy.
Medical consent regulations
A seven man committee
was appointed in 1978 to
study medical consent
regulations, and a draft bill
has been prepared for public
reaction. The Minister of
Health has stated that there
will be no change in Ontario
law to permit girls under 16
to get abortions without their
parents' consent - a proposal
which formed part of the
proposed bill.
Other developments
The Minister of Correc-
tional Services has 'an-
Home purchased
Church and completed *in
March 1881.
In 1948 the building was
sold to the Mennonite
congregation which
established itself in the
community at that time, and
the St. Andrew's
Presbyterian congregation
which was declining joined
with the Ailsa Craig
Presbyterian Church.
An album and associated
drawings were also
presented to the members of
Trinity Anglican Church,
Ailsa Craig, at the meeting.
The Trinity Anglican Church
was completed in 1870 and
consecrated in 1872 when the
building was completely
debt free. The rectory, next
to the church was built in
1900 and sold in 1968 when
the Rector moved to the
rectory in Parkhill.
The work on the two
albums and drawings was
carried out under a Young
Canada Works Program
A home was recently
purchased in the Ailsa Craig
area by the A-i District
Lions Club to provide a
residence for deaf students
who will be attending the
Robarts School for the deaf
in London.
The 15 room home,
complete with swimming
pool, is located on the 1st
road east of the county road
off the Nairn Sideroad, and
was formerly owned by F.
O'Shaughnessy.
It is currently being
remodelled from a two
family dwelling to a, home
setting for a number of deaf
students. As soon as weather
permits, landscaping and
outside work will be done by
the Lions Clubs participating
in the nearly $100,000 ven-
ture.
Tim and Fran Haubold,
formerly of Toronto,lwill be
working, as houseparents.
Both are well versed in 'sign
language and have worked
with the deaf over a number
of years. Tim Haubold was
assistant Pastor at the
Church of the Deaf in
Toronto, prior to his moving
to Nairn.,

Electric Power Planning,
has released his report
containing 88 recom-
mendations -after five years
and. S5 million spent looking
at the question. He stated
that Ontario has at present
no viablealternative to the
nuclear option, and added
that relying on,Solar to
replace nuclear pwer could
be "writing a prescription
for disaster".
' The Report's main
recommendations, however,
endorse Liberal energy
policies over the past five
years, and include the
following: a reduction in the
growth range for peak
capadity for future ex-
pansion planning; increased
public input into Hydro af-
fairs; greater development
of renewable and alternative
energy sources (particularly
methanol); decreased use of
R. & D. funds for nuclear
power; greater emphasis on
nuclear waste disposal
problems; modification or
eliminationi 'of the present
Hydro billing structure;
reduced need for greater
nuclear power capacity,
Student Venture Capital
This program will lend up
to $1,000 interest-free to full-
time students, 18 and older,
to encourage them to set up
their own summer business.
Students can take a loan
from April 1st and repay it
by October 31st.
This program helps
students create their own
summer jobs, and last year
one student made $3,000 net
profit from a loan by
producing light-weight
kayaks. Last year 140
students were each granted
loans of between $200 and
$1,000 for a total of $110,000.
Provincial Agencies
The Ontario Cabinet has
approved measures forcing
provincial agencies to justify
their existence ,over a three
year period starting in 1982.
Lastyear 36 such agencies
were disbanded or
amalgamated with others
becauSe they were either
inactiveor judged useless.

"The display of quilts
brought back many
memories", responded one
member of the North Mid-
dlesex District Historical
Society.
The Society held a display
of quilts from many different
origins and patterns at their
meeting held March 25th at
the Nairn Mennonite Church.
Mrs. Wilma McMargin of
Thorndale showed a slide
presentation on the overall
history of quilt making,
which she put together over
the years resulting from her
interest in quilt making,
One of the oldest quilts on
display was , that of "Job's
Trouble" which was crafted
prior to 1862, and was backed
with brown paper as 'a form
of insulation against the
chilly winter nights.
An album and associated
drawings was presented to
Dave Brunner, Pastor of the
Nairn Church by the
Historical Society. The
album contained a detailed
history of the Nairn Men-
nonite Church building
which was originally St.
Andrew's Presbyterian
