HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1981-01-14, Page 19By JACK RiDDELL I have been pushing the government since 1978, to take action on foreign land ownership, therefore, I was pleased with the an- nouncement by the Minister of Agriculture and Food, Mr. Lorne Henderson, that foreign ownership legislation for agricultural land was finally proclaimed on December 1, 1980. I had hoped that the Minister would proclaim this legislation earlier and I have now asked the Minister to place an immediate freeze on foreign and corporate absentee purchases of Ontario farmland as there are many new large holdings of farmland being con- solidated to be sold to foreign investors and it will take at least a year from the proclamation of this Act, to determine the seriousness of foreign ownership. This request has also been made to the Minister by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. This Act now proclaimed Jack's Jottings Ownership act covers parcels of land larger than ten hectares. Persona or corporations who are non- resident in Canada must complete a registration report if they own such land, or if they acquire or ter- minate an interest in it. Those who held an interest in agricultural land on December 1, 1980, have until November 30, 1981, to file their report. Those acquiring an interest in land or ter- minating their interest after December 1. 1980, have 90 days from the date of the transaction to file their report. Every report expires five years from the date on which it was filed and a new report must be filed within 30 days if the interest in the land continues to be held. Vernon Spencer, Director of the Ministry's food land Development Branch, has been appointed to administer and enforce the Act and four ministry staff have been appointed inspectors to carry out its provisions and regulations. The registration report forms may be obtained from the Directdr, Food Land Development Branch, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Legislative Buildings, Toronto, Ontario. M7A 282.

The Reds are in first place with 16 points, followed by the Blues with 15, the Greens 14 and Hagens Hackers are in last place with 11. Three third period unanswered goals enabled the Reds to squeak by the Hackers by a 4-3 score. The win enabled the Reds to move back into first place. Rick Gwalchmai scored two goals to lead the Reds to their victory. Notching single scores were Mike Wraith and Chapman. Brad Taylor, Steve Storey and Isaac were the marksmen in single fashion for the Hackers. In the other game, the Greens spotted the Blues a 3- 0 lead, then came roaring back to post a 4-3 victory. Jim Thomas's second goal of the game gave the Greens their victory. Marty Wraith and Mike Anderson were the other goal getters for the winners. Tom Hardy, Brad England and Gord Moon registered for the Blues, survey which shows that, while the majority of residents are conserving some energy, they are continuing to concentrate on activities requiring little personal effort. Examples are tuning up the car, tur- ning down the thermostat or checking the weather- stripping on doors and windows. The survey shows that those who tend to conserve the most, continue to be married, female 18-24 years of age, those with post- secondary education, and owners of one car. Those who are least sensitive to con- servation continue to be owners of more than two cars, males and those with public school education. Those surveyed expressed wide support for energy conservation leadership by government. Eight out of ten surveyed said they believe government should be communicating the energy conservation message. A segment of the population seems committed to energy conservation as a "way of life", and even among those who are not yet confirmed energy con- servers, there is a growing belief among ()Mariam that a collective cutback of about 10 percent would have a beneficial effect on the overall provincial energy situation. However, that belief is countered by the equally strong belief of some that a cutback on their energy use could result in a restriction of their lifestyle. Ontario consumers con- tinue to be far less com- mitted to conserving energy when it involves their cars, or when it requires some expenditure for their homes. The greater the personal effort required for con- serving energy, the less likely consumers would do it, the survey showed. Activities such as joining a carpool, sharing a ride, or. regularly using public transit have not, as yet, gained wide acceptance. The Ontario government is committed to a goal of crude oil self-sufficiency for Canada by the end of the decade. In this regard, the Government of Ontario announced last• October a comprehensive 8165 million package of stepped-up conservation and oil sub- stitution programs. The targets are specific and measurable, and if achieved, Ontario's demand for crude oil in 1995 would be 23 million barrels less than it is today. Consumer Minister Frank Drea has announced that starting January 1, municipally -owned conv- ention centres can apply for a permanent liquor licence. To qualify for a permanent liquor licence, centres, must be not only municipally - owned but municipally - operated as well. Mr. Drea said that he hoped a per- manent liquor licence will eliminate red tape and en- courage international organizations to book con- ventions at the centres. sc ores Medway -Geo Sorenson 319-753, Al Kish 257-690, Geo Adams 276-689, Carol Kish 269-668, Fin McKinlay 246- 667, Cal Carmichael 259-653, Helma Sorenson 237-617, Marg Carmichael 240.603, Gerry Duynisveld 211, Bob Jeffrey 210, Marion Barr 205.

Mrs. Gordon McRobert presided and opened with thoughts on "Life worth the living". concluding the Devotions with prayer. Mrs. Elwood Morden was in charge of the program, and entitled it "Chosen Women of the Bible". Presenting a paper on the status of women from Eve to the liberated woman of the present day. With Mrs. Elmer Summers reading passages from the Bible in relation to the subject, the speaker explained that in the early days of the Bible, women were no better than slaves. some did not eat at the table with their husbands, but when Mary became the mother of Jesus, women were thought of more highly and respected. In the present day the liberated woman goes to the other extreme, where her children are brought up by a person other than their mother. families are broken up. and often times a married woman is holding a job that a single person needs. and this contributes to the high unemployment problem we have today. This subject provoked lively dis- cussion. Mrs. Morden concluded her program with a reading on the reflections of the past year. and the committment to the year ahead. A hot lunch was served by the hostess: Church news At the United the Rev. Elwood •Morden was in charge of .the worship, and officiated at the Sacrement of Holy Communion on Sun- day morning. Taking his meditation • from John 13, Rev. Morden entitled it "The sacrement of Servanthood". There are a few incidents which reveal the character of Jesus and what he did, like this one. Jesus knew that His humilia- tion was near, and also the Glory that was to come, and he washed the feet of His Disciples. sometimes men think they ar''tbo important to do humble things. 11 was just at that time when God was near' Him, Jesus performed this service to man. He was a servant to His followers. The nearer we are to the suffering of man, the nearer we become to God said Rev. Morden. Jesus became a servant and washed the feet of His disciples. a thing like this should make us think, when BOTTLES GALORE -- Bradley Chambers and Mark McDonald were two of the many youngsters participating in Saturday's Exeter Scouts bottle drive.

A Granton we are tempted to think of our prestige and our posi- tion. as putting us on a pedestal. and that it is belittling to humble ourselves. let us think of Jesus and what He did, and the example He gave to His Disciples when He said, I have washed your feet, and now you must be ready to wash one anothers feet. At St. Thomas Anglican Church the Rev. Greg Smith was in charge of the morning prayer service. The first lesson was read by the Rec- tor. The second lesson was read by Jim Hodgins.
