At the present time it is not uncommon to hear the expression "Ontario is a place to leave". Unfortunately, there Is a reason for this attitude and it relates to Ontario's economy. Unemployment is a very major concern to all Ontarions. In December 1980, 87 per cent of the increase in Canada's unemployment occurred in Ontario. The term "youth employment" is used when referring to people between the ages of 15 and 24. Of this group, some 117,000 were unemployed in December. This was a 7,000 increase over the previous month, and - co -incidentally - a 7,000 increase over December 1979. For the prime earning group (aged 25 to 54 yearb), the unemployment figure for December 1980 was 128,000 - a 12,000 (10 per cent) in- crease over December 1979. The total number of unemployed in Ontario was 266,000, which represented a 21,000 (8.6 per cent) increase over the previous December, and an increase of 20.000 (8,1 Lucan bowling Inter -town- Ladies-Lucan 7 points, Stratford 0 points.

Bruce Pocock was based on the various readings from Scripture. The prophet Mica raises the question "How shall we serve the Lord"? and then tells us that all the Lord requires is to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God. There is a great lesson in humility to be learned When we realize that all God wants - is ourselves, and that our salvation is not gained by our good works but by our faith. However, if we do not give ourselves and our lives over to God then He is unable to use us according to His plan for each of us. God's gift of Love is given freely and He expects us to give our gifts daily to Him. Happiness is serving the Lord!

Snider then reported that he told Bosanquet township council it would cost them $16.(x10 this year to use the Grand Bend waste site, and 518.000 next year. Bosanquet had asked for a two year agreement. Snider said that the waste site will only be good for another ten to 12 years "the way we're going". However, if Grand Bend alone uses the dump. and not Bosanquet, it vhll last another 20 years. lie said he is waiting to hear Bosanquet's response. At the same time Snider said that repairs were 'need- ed to the village's bulldozer which is used at the dump Snider reported that the village hall would soon be getting insulation and storm windows. A discussion on the con- struction of the new showers and washrooms behind the village offices followed. It is expected that the washrooms will be ready this spring. Dock fees for this year were set at 15 for boats up to 20 feet long. 18 for boats 20 to 29 feet long. and 18 for boats over 30 feet. Fees will be charged on a daily basis from May 24 to October 1.

Council voted, to raise the village's impost fee from $100 to 1250 Council was presented per cent) over November 18 The situation with respect to permanent and indefinite layoffs is another indication of the seriousness of the employment picture in this province. Some 27,910 workers were placed on permanent or indefinite layoff during the first eleven months of 1980. Ontario's budgetary position is also cause for considerable concern. According to the most recent Ontario Finances Report, dated September 30th, 1980, Ontario's budgetary deficit had risen 23 per cent in six months. The mini -budget of November 13, 1980, pushed net cash requirements to $1,059 billion, an increase of 81 per cent over the final results for 1979.80. Interest on the public debt stands at 14.4 million per day, compared to X82,000 per day in 1971. Another economic factor which cannot be overlooked is the number of bankrupt- cies which have occurred. Over the past ten years, business bankruptcies in Ontario have increased tenfold. In 1979, there were 10,500 bankruptcies in this province. In its latest provincial forecast, dated October 18, 1980, the Conference Board also predicts that Ontario will experience a 4 per cent decline in manufacturing output in 1980, while Alberta will have 6 per cent growth in manufacturing output, and Saskatchewan and Manitoba will also both benefit by strong performances in their manufacturing sectors. Ontario is expected to lag behind the national average in manufacturing growth again this year, 1981. Other economic factors which help to complete an assessment of the state of Ontario's economy are the following: Growth rate of public investment, 1970-79: Ontario's share declined from 37 per cent in 1970 to 26.9 per cent in 1979. Growth rate of estimated values of manufacturing shipments, 1970-78: Ontario's share declined from 51.8 per cent in 1970 to 49.4 per cent in 1978. Growth rate of private investment, 1970-1979; Ontario's share declined from 39.3 per cent to 33.4 per cent. Growth rate of residential construction 1970-78: Ontario's share declined from 46.7 per cent in 1970 to 33 per cent in 1978. Perhaps more significant to individual Ontarians is the fact that average real family income in constant 1971 dollars in Ontario dropped from 113,518 in 9176 to 112,916 By JACK RIDDELL, MPP in 1978. In relative terms the average income for tax - filers in Ontario in 1977 was 111,080, 134 less than the average national income. In 1977, for the first time, Ontario qualified for equalization payments from the federal government as a have-not province. Under the formula, before recent federal amendments to ensure that Ontario would never receive payments, Ontario was entitled to 1800 million at the end of 1980. While one of the reasons Ontario has become a have- not is the growth in provincial oil and gas revenues in Western Canada, equally important is the slow growth in revenues from Ontario's traditional tax sources - personal and corporate income tax. Between January and June 1980, 15,744 Ontarians left this province for Western Canada. On an annualized basis, this means a projected loss for 1980 of over 31,000 people from Ontario to the West. with plans for a new firehall. It was decided that the plans would be returned to the firemen with a request for estimates.
