' Should cancel nuclear boiler
BY MURRAY GAUNT
Ontario Hydro should consider cancelling
_
• a $38 million boiler contract for the Darling-
ton nuclear power plant and calling for new
tenders, said 'Jim Bradley, MPP (St. Cathar-
'' ines) in the Legislature this week.
•
He said he . favours the Cancellation
_ because of problerns with other nuclear
boilers built by Babcock Wilcox Canada Ltd.
"In light of the Many difficUlties involved
with the work performed by B & W to this
point, and in light of the financial commit -
Merits that may 1?e involved in final
agreements concerning these problems, one
has to wonder whether the coMpany has the
capability to carry out the work on Darling-
ton," Mr. Bradley stated.
he made the comments after voting for a
motion before the Legislature's standing
committee on resources to criticize Hydro for
failing;. to provide details last July on
problems with boilers Supplied for the Bruce
A generating station.
Hydro's executive vice-president (opera-
tions); testified . that during a previous
. appearance he had not disclosed problems
involving stress levelsin boiler drum welds
• '
because it it was thought the problems had
been Solved. He said it was only in
September . that newanalyses led Atomic
•
Energy of Canada Ltd.- to suggest a new
review of streas levels in the Bruce boilers. A
task force was set up and Hydro announced
• October 16th that electrical output of 'the
• four Bruce A utxits?as being cut while the
review was under way.

The PrOvincial Treasurer Ls acknow-
ledged that over the past three years Ontario
has been entitled to almost $500 Million in
equalization payments. However, the Prov-
ince has no intention' of taking the money,
and it's not becausethe government is too
proud.
•
Under the present equalization formula,
Ontario is technically entitled to the money,
• but the Treasurer added: "According to. the
• principle for which equalization payments
were established, Ontario; in the philosoph-
ical sense, is not entitled to receiVe them,
since our per capita incomes are well above
the national average.":
Liberal Finance Critic, David Peterson,
MPP. (London Centre) said the philosophy
underlying the equalization formula is not to
equalize per -capita income but to equalize
provincial revenues.' He demanded to know
why 'Ontario has net taken the money and
whether it was because of pride.
The Minister of 1ducation has announced
the appointment of a three-man , commission
to study the lawgiving teachers, the right to
strike. This commission will hold . public
hearings on the four-year-old School Boards
and 'Teachers Collective 'Bargaining Act;
more .commonly known as Bill 100;
Opposition Members attacked the Ministr
er for refusing to make .public an internal
ministry review 'of Bill 100 s which led to, .
creation of the coinmission. She stated- that
the review, completed last summer, would
be given to the commission, which could
make it public when their report was
released. • "

The legal matter
BY DOROTHY SIMPSON
CHILLDRENS AID SOCIETY
- The coUrt has the final sty
in any matter concerning
plateMent and wardship of
the child. The parents can
• present their reasons for
wanting to keep the child and -
the C.A.S. can give reasons
why the child should remain
in their' care. The court date
• is decided on and the parents
are informed.
, After taking a child from
'hit home the C.A.S. must gel
legal -notice uhtil the court
hearing to ensure that the
child was not taken under
false pretences.
Alt witnesses are sum-
moned to court and the
request of the children aid is
presented. They can ask for a
wardship period of any
length up to a year. After a
yea' the case must be
re-evaluated. A child can
also become a crown ward in
which case they may be
eligible for adoption in a
years tine depending on the
circUntStances.
The childrens aid is bound
•
Y.,
by laws ail of which are in the
child welfare act dow revised
Vuly 1979). It states the laws
againsr mistreatment of
children and is the basis for
any action made by the
childrens aid.
• With the endless laws that
protect children from abuse,
neglect and inhumane treat- •
ment it is hard to believe that
some children still suffer.
The childrens aid can only
act on the cases they know
of. It is a legal obligation to
report any sign of child mis-
•'treatment.
