As the current session of the
Ontario Legislature moved
toward an end, pressure re-
mained on the government to
launch a Royal Commission
of Inquiry into the "trust com-
panies affair."
Opposition Leader David
Peterson told Premier
.William Davis a public in-
quiry was the only way to un-
cover regulatory deficiencies
which have allowed a number
of financial institutions to ap-
proach• and reach collapse
over the last 10 or 15 years.
The most recent episode in-
volves the government
takeover in January of Crown
Trust, Greymac Trust and
Seaway Trust, and the sale of
Crown's fixed assets to Cen-
tral Trust of Halifax, Nova'
Scotia.
The Liberal Leader argued
that the governinent's failure
to properly monitor ques-
tionable practises by some
companies within thetrust in-
dustry has allowed a series of
near -collapses and collapses
to occur. He said better.
legislation is needed, and a
regdiatory system must be
created to prevent a recur-
rence of the Crown-Greymac-
Seaway fiasco.
Premier Davis said legisla-
cacti a jotting
Wantsformal'inquir
tion would be brought tor -
ward within the next six
months or so. The Opposition
will have its chance to review
it at that time. he said. An in-
ternal review is also being
conducted of the Ministry of
Consumer and Commercial
Relations, the Premier said,
but fie refused to make com-
ment on the Ministry's past
performance.
"I am not going to defend
lack of action on the part of
any civil servant," he said,
"If they should have moved,
then they will hear about it.
But they should not be pre-
judged and condemned in
advance."
Mr. Peterson replied: "1
have absolutely no faith in
his internal review...If ( the
Premier is concerned about
the integrity of the financial
institutio then he will com-
mit himself to a full, indepen-
dent Royal Commission of
Judicial Inquiry into this
whole mess sometime in the
very near future. That will do
more than anything he can
say or his Minister can do to
restore faith in the financial
institutions."
Later in the Legislature.
Consumer and Commercial
Relations Minister Robert
Elgie confirmed press reports
that discussions were pro-
ceeding regarding the future
of Greymac and Seaway, but
he would not reveal whether
sales of the companies were
imminent. The Minister told
Mr. Peter oagy}.tIlat ey,•}vere.

been discussed.

Anglican church
Rev. J. Sutton reminded us
that we are 56 days from
Easter Sunday - the resurrec-
lion of Jesus Christ. in his ser-
mon this past Sunday he
reminded us to prepare
ourselves for this great day.
This sermon talks about
blessings as well as woes or
curses. Rev. Sutton told us we
should think of man as a tree
that bears fruit. Man should
conduct himself in a manner
that would build joys and hap-
piness clinging to the belief
that even woes and weeping
and curses heaped on him
would in the end be turned
around and he would be
rewarded in Heaven.
Het,. Sutton asked us to ex-
amine our lifestyles, what we
ourselves trust in. Can we
stand up. and proclaim our
Faith in God'? Do we aspire to
be blessed by God? We must
keep searching for help and
hope for a real resurrection.

The extent of the troubles

-Dear Friends:
During the current con-
troversy surrounding Pay TV
programming in Canada, I
have received a great deal of
mail from concerned people
in Huron -Bruce and the sur-
routvding area, opposed to any
airing of erotic or por•
• nographic material on licens-
ed television. I would like to
thank you, for writing and
making this effort to register
your views on a subject which
concerns all of us.
I am also encouraged that
many wrote to the CRTC and
to the Minister of Com-
munications, who jointly have
responsibility. for administer-
ing public policy relating to
television.
I have no difficulty at all in
opposing . emphatically any
use of licensed television in
Canada to show pornographic
material. The • CRTC has
issued a press release in-
dicating that it .would like to
see the television • industry
adopt voluntary standards for
its programming to prevent
such abuses.
" One reason they give for
preferring this course is that
they claim not to have any clearly fall withhl the sphere

obscenity is not appropriate U any individual right could

ter, it would be the right to re-
main free'from exposure to
public programming of a
hurtful or offensive type. To
me, it is clear that the CRTC
has a mandate and a respon-
sibility to protect individuals
in just this way. It is not an
easy responsibility, for -
whenever a public body has
the power to make value
judgements affecting the
community, it has the capaci-
ty to make bad ones.
My Own view is that the
CRTC does not go far enough
in recognizing its power to en-
sure that material such as the
Playboy network offers in the
United' States is kept off
licensed television in Canada.
For years, the question of
community standards has
been a troublesome one in
Canada. We are caught bet-
ween a respect for the in-
dividual's right to make his
own decisions on matters of
taste and morality, and a
respect for the moral stan-
dards of our heritage and of
the majority. My own view is
that in the present case, there
is no moral dilemma...

The Riverview Women's In-
stitute members met at the.
Masonic hall February 1 with
'a good attendance.
Since our guest speaker had
not arrived, president Mrs.
Chas. Harmer, went on with
the business. Minutes were
read and adopted. Mrs.
Laurence Craven read the
treasurer's report and
secretary Margaret Wilson
read a number of letters
which were dealt with later.
The -roll call, Name a wild
animal you or someone you
know has had as a pet. Our
motto, "Environment is a
loan for us to enjoy, let us
resolve to protect not destroy
it". This was well taken and
explained by Mrs. George
(Bea) Lee as she pointed out
many different problems con-.
cerning the environment.
What a Day!
Friday, we had a special
day at our school. The
• students' council sponsored a
50's day. Many students and
even some teachers were
dressed as one would during
the 1950's. I'm sure it brought
back many memories for the
parents.
The students were judged
by the Council and winners
are as follows: primary - Erin
O'Rourke and Chad Picker-
ing; junior - John 'Paul
Maurer and Shannon Bird; in-
termediate - Rhoda Mason
and Rodney Woods.
At noon hour the primary
and junior students had a soc-
hop in the gym and the older
students were able to stay
after school for a dance..The
gym was suitably decorated
by the members of the
Students' Council. Everyone
enjoyed themselves.

coming can do so on Tuesday,
February 22. Moms and dads
are welcome too. .

students will develop good
study habits so that high

Guest speaker, Mrs. Bar-
bara Nicholson, RR 3 Ailsa
Craig, spoke on hunting and
trapping wild animals and
laws connected with it. She
brought a number of fur pelts
for her display.
In fact, stile wore a beautiful
fur coat made from coyote fur
trimmed with white fur collar
and cuffs. One must have a
love of wild animals and a
good sense of rightful trapp-
ing inorder to do this work.
White men in search of
furs opened the country of
Canada from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. They traded with.
the Indians and with their
help built log trading posts,
one of which was the great

Mrs. Nicholson told us that
today you can trade with the
Hudson's Bay Company in
furs.

with views it has'already ex-
pressed opposing por-

If the CRTC will not take
the decision itself, it may be
that Parliament will have to
act, and I shall push for
Parliamentary action if it
proves necessary. I hope that
it does not. - -
Thank you for forwarding
your coneerns to me on this
