Two projects in district receive met grants
Two area projects have
been approved for grants
under the new, Canada/On-
tario Employment Expansion
and Development (NEED)
program.
In Huron Park, Dunlop Con-
struction Products Inc. has
received $25,600 for eight jobs
over a period of 128 work
weeks for the expansion and
upgrading of the building, in-
cluding the installation of new
machinery, the construction

of racks and support for the
machinery and storage
facilities.
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 -

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

despite the fact that the final
decision is against laying any
charges.

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.

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. Aimers,
Dominion Chairman &
Founder
