Dunlop Construction Pro- ducts produces single -ply rub- ber sheeting for roofing, and the relatively new industry has already expanded to 25 employees and plant manager Tom Patterson said another 10 may be added. It is the first plant in Canada to produce the roofing material, which takes the place of built-up roof and Pat- terson said the material is be- ing used in 60 percent of re- roofing projects in the U.S.A. where the product has been available for some time. The other grant, in the amount of $10,800. was ap- proved for Prout Farms, RR 3 Exeter: This project will create three jobs that will last over 54 work weeks. Tom Prout said the grant is for construction of a farrow- ,ing_barn on his farm two miles east of Exeter on f furon St., but told the T -A the pro- ject is contingent upon ap- proval of other financing. Announcement of the' grants was made by the Hon. Eugene Whelan. According to Whelan, the NEED pro- gram's main objective is to provide work for unetb ment insurance benefit e haustees for a minimum 12 week period. Hiring for these projects will be through Canada Employment and Immigra- tion offices. Other projects approved in the Huron/Bruce area are as follows: At Wingham, the Ministry of Natural Resources has received "NEED" funding for two projects. The first one consists of upgrading the ex- isting road service and the ex- isting parking lot, improve the drainage, and remove trees. The project will provide six jobs over a period of 144 work weeks,for the people of Wingham. The contribution of the Federal government to this project is S28,800. The second "NEED" pro-' ject provides a budget of $19,200 for eight jobs over a period of 96 work weeks to the Ministry of Natural Resources for the reforesta- tion of specific mapped out areas,- to complement the deer and fish habitat of the park. The Goderich Art Founda- tion is allocated $57,000 for eight jobs, over a period of 285 work weeks for the conserve - 1i THE DAM.WINS — Michael Rankin's dam project was science fair at Precious Blood Separate School. J1ac/ :S jolt ng6 Another death investigated By Jack Riddell MPP Yet one more baby's death al Skk Children's Hospital is being investigated by homicide detectives: The in- fant's body contained elevated levels of digoxin, and the death occurred despite a recently adopted unit -dose drug distribution system which allows only single doses of drugs such as digoxin to be • administered. The news of this infant's death became public shortly after the Attorney General, Roy McMurtry, had announc- ed a public inquiry into 28 suspicious infant deaths at the hospital. According to Mr. McMurtry. it is quite con- ceivable that a person could admit to murder during the public inquiry probe into the deaths, and never be pro- secuted. People testifying before the Royal Commission will be able to use the protec- tion of the Canada Evidence Act. "That means any evidence they give cannot be used against them in a court of law." he said. Police will be monitoring the inquiry and could lay charges on any new information, but he said "we have to face up to the reality that someone could admit to being the perpetrator of these cranes and we might not be able to lay charges because the only evidence is that per- son's own admission." Liberal Leader David Peterson and other Opposi- tion Members have pressed for a public inquiry into the hospital and especially into the manner in which the police had conducted their in- vestigation. He warned that . the Royal Commission "can- not be used by the goverment as a stalling factor or a while- . wash of the issue," "The deci- sion...is long overdue", he said, and we hope the govern- ment's delay in initiating it will not prejudice any resulting benefit a public in- quiry might bring." Sheila Copps, the Liberal ilealth Critic, said the public inquiry should have taken place a year ago, and called for the investigation to be Widened to review how the police had probed the 28 suspicious deaths, She also accused Roy McMurtry of "talking out both sides of his mouth" in saying he wants to give parents all relevant in- formation ahout the deaths while refusing to let anyone see the Atlanta Report or police reports. A spokesman for, the Hospital for Sick Children, reacting to the Attorney - General's announcement of a Royal Commission of inquiry into the deaths in the hospital's cardiac wards het - ween -1980 and 1981, stated that the hospital has • lived with low morale for two years. has continued to pro- vide good service, and will do the same during the public inquiry. Noreen • Responding to Liberal House Leader Bob Nixon's statement in the Legislature that without further explana- tion, people in Ontario would "assume there is something to the charge (that the OSC in its decision was protecting people in high places)", Mr. McMurtry. the Attorney General, has said it would be in the public interest to have "some further explanation from the Ontario Securities Commission On why it recommended recently that no Securities Act charges be laid against Norcen Energy Resources Ltd. On March 24, 1983 a OSC Staff investigation report recommended • that eight charges be laid against Noreen and nine each be laid against its two senior officers. Conrad Black and Edward Battle for not informing Noreen shareholders in late October 1981 that the com- pany's executive committee had decided to purchase up to 51 percent of Hanna Mining Co. of Cleveland. Meanwhile, the Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations, Dr. Robert Elgie, the Minister responsible for the Ontario Securities Com- mission, has stated that he's concerned about establishing a precedent in Ontario in which details of a government investigation are made public w M 1. a winner in the recent T -A photo. despite the fact that the final decision is against laying any charges. Ontario Ilydro The petrochemical manufacturing consortium, Petrosar Ltd., is suing On- tario Hydro. for $105 million for breach of a 15 year con- tract to supply the utility with massive quantities of heavy oil. Petrosar, in which the federal government is a minority shareholder through Canada Development Cor- poration, alleges that Hydro twice - once in 1981 and again in 1982 • broke a 1976 agree- ment to buy 7.3 million bar- rels a year of residual oil for two new power stations. One of the two plants was cancell- ed during construction and the other was mothballed last summer. Property rights, Herb Epp ( Liberal Waterloo North) has twice tabled a Resolution to include Property Rights in Canada's Charter of Rights in the belief that "If a person's home is violated, then he or she is, in a very real sense, violated as ,a person." He has lobbied Ot- tawa and Queen's Park on this question. • Now Premier Davis has indicated that his government will introduce a Resolution authorizing such' an amendment to the legislation. .411116 A CRAFT WINNER — Christine Schade was a winner in the recent Stephen Central School craft show with her pillow front project.

The readers write To the Editor Sir: It is evident from the cur- rent leadership race of the Progressive conservative Party, and from the Prime Minister's stated intention not' to lead the Liberal Party in another election, that Cana- dians face a.new generation of political leadership who will. for good or ill, guide our Dominion's fortunes through the 1980's and beyond. A central. question which must be put to all contenders for office, and especially to the leaders of parties, is as to their stance on maintaining the Constitutional Monarchy, that pillar of Canadian democracy on which rests so much of what is just and de- cent and traditional about our country. Rejecting the Monarchial minimalism of the past decades, which has seen an often subtle erosion in both the substantive powers and symbolic presence of the Crown in Canada, the Monar- chist League of Canada has prepareda Manifesto, listing eight reasonable demands which, we believe, Canadian loyalists should make of their public officials with respect to the Monarchy. For instance, we want the Canadian Citizenship Act to be amended to remove any doubt that the members of our Royal that, are indeed Canadians; we wish .the status of GOD SAVE .THE QUEEN as Royal Anthem to be enshrined by statute; and we wish to see the proud, in- digenous name 'Dominion Day' restored as our national holiday, rejecting the sleepy duplicity by which 'Canada Day' was imposed upon us. Readers who might wish to obtain one or more copies of this Manifesto for their own consideration and, hopefully, for passing on to their Provin- cial and Federal legislators, should write to The Monar- chist League' of Canada, 2 ' Wedgewood Crescent, Ot- tawa, Ontario KIB 4B4. We must act now to assure the future of institutions which we have too often tended to take for granted! Yours faithfully, John L.
