"Today is International Women's Day, and it should be a day of celebration for all women...but is it? - "While women can rejoice in the fact that many of them have achieved a measure of success and fulfilment which might a generation ago have been an impossible dream, many others are still struggl- ing against unfairness and injustice. "Domestic abuse, like child Sainsbury By MRS. HEBER DAVIS Mrs. Sheryl Carroll gave her home for the March A.C.W. meeting and the Day of Prayer service.

"The inadequacies of our pension system condemn thousands of elderly women to living below the poverty line. "Equal opportunity for women is certainly far from being a reality, with some two-thirds of all women in the paid labour force confined to clerical, sales and service jobs. "As for equal pay, here in Canada, in 1979 women work- ing fulltime earned approx- imately, on average, 63.3 per- cent of the money earned by men - an average of $11,741 compared with a man's average of $18,537. Even in occupations where the ma- jority of workers were women, men earned con- siderably higher pay. "As Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, I have established the Women' -s Perspective Advisory Com- mittee, to advise on matters of concern to women. The Committee is in the process of preparing recommendations on pensions, domestic abuse andpornographyat this time, and will consider the women's perspective of many other issues which affect our society. "In addition, the Commit- tee is sponsoring an all -day Conference, "Women's Perspective '83", to be held on Saturday, the 14th May, at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The theme of the Conference will be "Look at the Past - Plan for the Future". There will be workshops on a number of issues of vital im- portance for women. Guest speakers will be Linda Silver Dranoff, lawyer, writer and activist, and Monica Town- send, author of "The Cana- dian Women's Guide to Money". Coloured fuel program The Ministry of Revenue has recognized that there were problems with their col- oured diesel and stove oil pro- gram. Effective 12:01 March 10, 1983, the Ontario Ministry of Revenue has changed the dye to a type known as D390 from FOM50. My colleagues and I have been asking questions in the Legislature drawing the Minister's attention to pro- blems during his estimates and submitting questions on. the order paper ever since this program was introduced on Septembe- 1, 1982. Farmers, contractors, users of kerosene heaters, and tobacco producers concerned about curing their product have been submitting com- plaints to us. The complaints have ranged from clogged filters on equipment, breakdown of fuel pumps and fuel injectors on equipment to complete engine failure to concerns expressed about the safety to people using kerosene heaters; the possible contamination of tobacco with untested chemicals and to the safety of persons working with and applying the dye to the fuel. Technical bulletins from the Ministry of Revenue have indicated that there were er- rors and omissions commit- ted by some of the people who applied dye to fuel in distributor stocks and that there were problems of tar - like precipitates forming on the walls of the mixing tanks at the refineries. These precipitates would break away and clog filters and in- jectors atlthe refineries dur- ing the process of injecting the (lye into the product stream. If there were problems at the refineries is it any wonder Middlesex Continued from page 6 mediately. The phone number is 434-6811 or 1-800-265-4750 if calling long distance.

So far investigations by laboratories hired by the Ministry have blamed dirt and high moisture content in the fuel as the only identified source of the problem. The change to a new type of dye clearly indicates that the Ministry introduced the original dye without proper investigation and testing. Call for reduction in govern- ment interest rates for Tile drainage loans In view of the fact that in- terest rates charged to On- tario farmers by the Govern- ment under their Tile Drainage Loan Program were raised from eight per- • ��r ac e joIli n96 status of women cent to 10 percent last year when prime Interest rates reached a peak, we are today calling on the Government to reduce the rates to their former eight percent in recognition of the generally present lower cost of borrow- ing to the Government. For years now, we in the Liberal Party have pointed out to the Government the benefits of this program and our concerns that the Govern- ment's investment is still about 40 percent less than the demand. Moreover, much of the benefit of increased funds allocated to the program last year were negated by the in- crease in the debenture loans and by the fact that only 60 percent of a drainage project would be covered, down from the previous 75 percent level. It is well recognized that tile drainage is essential to the improvement of Ontario's foodland. It can increase pro- duction yields up to 50 percent and return 818 for every $1 invested. We, in the Ontario Liberal Party, believe that- the Government should im- mediately announce its allocation plans for this pro- gram for the 1983-84 season and that this announcement should provide up to 850 million per year for loans at eight percent interest and that they should cover 75 percent of the cost of the drainage work.
