Both Opposition parties and some farm groups have strongly criticized the recent report of a two-year Royal Commission into discounts and allowances in Ontario's food chain, Having been instrumental in getting an inquiry into discounting and allowances I consider this report to be a "whitewash" and I believe there is every likelihood that it will do infinitely more harm than good. The con- clusions and recom- mendations of the report have little or not connection with the testimony heard during the enquiry, It was obvious from testimony which we heard that these discounting and rebating practices have a very damaging effect for both producers and con- sumers. The whole competitive Cubs and stage By MRS. J. TEMPLEMAN STAFFA Wednesday evening, first Cromarty Cubs, Scouts and Beavers and their parents met in Cromarty Presbyterian Church for their graduation exercises.

Last year's Keeo, David Smale presented the new Keeo, Mark Cronin with a silver scarf which he will wear when he attends Beaver meetings as a representation of the Cub Pack. In a second ceremony, Cubs, Roger Fell, Thomas Laing and David Smale graduated fr<nn the Cub Pack to the Boy Scouts Troop where they were received by Scout Leader, Joost Drost, Cub Robert Dearing was presented with a blue star in recognition of his completed projects. The Beaver leaders, Joan Daynard and Carol Ann Scott led in a sing-song of 90-wet' market structure is, warped out of shape., customers have arbitrary 'choices of products made for them, and. there is far tOo', much concentration of economic power all along the f000d chain, Plant layoffs The Minister of Labour, Dr. Robert Elgie, has an- nounced a five point program to help workers laid off in plant shutdowns. However, this has been denounced as inadequate by the labour movement and by Opposition Leaders, The. plan calls for the following (a) a change in pension laws to permit some measure of portability and make it possible for some laid-off workers to get pensions before age 65 (under present legislation a worker over 45 and with ten years service must wait until age 65 for a pension if laid off in a shutdown); (I?) a legislative committee study of the question of 'making payment of severance mandatory for employers; (C) amendment of the Employment Standards Act to ensure that workers given Beaver action songs and the evening concluded with coffee, juice and cookies.

Liberal Leader Stuart Smith strongly criticized.the plan as being inadequate. The NDP Leader was also critical, but said he would support it. The President of the Ontario Federation of Labour stated that the plan "hasn't responded seriously to the main questions we've been raising....We're not just talking about people on the verge of early retirement. ,When a company goes belly- up, every worker should be able to take his pension credits with him to the next job," The Canadian Director of the huge United Auto Workers accused the government of sliding the real tough issues into committee "until the heat dies down". Government aarertising Members of the Liberal Caucus, concerned about a perceived dramatic increase in advertising for pre- election purposes, have tabled questions to 25 ministers about how much is being spent on the ads, some of which they consider to be misleading and partisan, while others contain subliminal messages. We want to know the total advertising budgets this year and last, and which agencies are employed. Copies of radio and TV scripts and printed materials used in various publicity campaigns are also requested. The decision to make a concerted effort to get complete information • on advertising, thought to total about $25 million this year, was made at a recent Caucus meeting. Race relations The Minister of Labour, Dr. Robert Elgie has told the Legislature that he's asked for considerably more money for the Ontario Human Rights Commission, and particularly its race relations devision. The budget this year Is close to $3.1 million, up from 1.8 million' in the 1979-80 fiscal year. Last month the head of the Race Relations division complained to a Toronto newspaper that lack of money and staff made him pessimistic about the future of race relations in the Province. Jury duty Legislation has 'teen in- troduced which would allow blind persons, anyone over 70 years of age and clergymen to be eligible for jury duty in. Ontario. Jim McGuigan (Lib. Kent-Elgin). introduced Private Memb- er's Bill last session intend to permit blind persons to serve on juries. Other amendments to the Juries Act introduced by the Government would allow the presiding judge to excuse those whose religious prat tice or belief conflicts with jury service, prevent an em- ployer from firing a worker summoned for jury duty, and permit jury service to be deferred or excused where the service would result in serious hardship to someone else. Police chases Even though five people have died and 1313 have been injured in the 1,800 chases by Ontario Provincial Police in the past two years, Ontario won't ban high-speed police chases. Tabling statistics in the Legislature the Solicitor General, Roy McMurtrey, states that such a ban would not make sense. He made the statement just two days after two people escaped serious 'in- jury when their car was cut in half by a stolen car being chased by York Regional Police in Toronto, The Ontario Police Commission has sent all Ontario police forces guidelines to follow when chasing other vehicles.

'Prol90 2A Times-Advocatit Ono 22, 1.940- Agriculture Minister Eugene .Whelan today an- nounced after consultation with dairy farmers 'across Canada that they are donating 5,000 cases of evaporated milk towards .relief efforts in the af- termath of earthquakes in El Asnam, Algeria, Earthquakes since last Friday have virtually leveled that city, killing and injuring thousands of people. "We are all moved by this tragedy and I am especially proud of this heartfelt gesture of Canada's dairy farmers," Mr. Whelan said. "Their support for the relief effort was spon- taneous and typical• of the farm community in times of tragedy." The gift of evaporated milk has a market value of about $100,000 and will distributed 'by ONACO, the Algerian government agency responsible for the purchase and distribution of such dairy products. In this type of emergency, when normal water supplies quickly become con- Laminated, Canadian evaporated milk is par- ticularly well suited for relief purposes because of its high nutritive value as well as being in liquid•form. The product will be in 410 gram cans of 7.5 per cent butterfat, 25 per cent solids non-fat. Each of the 5,000 cases contains 48 cans.
