The fourth session of the 29th Legislature ended this week and Premier William Davis has in- dicated that the spring session will begin fairly egrlg in March. Winding up the debate on the current session, Mr. Davis ex- pressed the view that inflation is still the number one concern and if there are not very real con- straints both in terms of prices and wages over the next two years, inflation in 1976 or 1977 could be far more significant than we are experiencing at the present time. On the last day of the current session, three bills received third. and final reading. Acts to amend thtIining• Tax Act, the Con- doAium Act and the Crown Employees Collective Bargaining Act amendments provide for an Arbitration Board to settle disputes to be composed of a member appointed by each of the parties, and a Chairman appointment by the two mem- bers, rather than as at present by the .Government. The long awaited bill on election expenses has been tabled in the Legislature.Limitsareto be imposed on the amount of money spent by political parties, riding associations and candidates on campaign advertising in future provincial elections in Ontario. All donations of more than $10 are to be disclosed, and names and addresses of all donors of over$100 must be stated. The Bill also establishes a formula for the public financing of candidate expenses, paying about $6.100 to each candidate in average ridings, while candidates in the four large Northern Ridings will receive a further $2,500. Absolute spending limits were imposed on parties and can- didates in the area of advertising, and restrictions contained in the Bill also limit donations by in- dividuals, corporations and trade unions to $4,00010 any one party and its riding organizations each year, or a total of $20,000 in a four year period. including an elec- tion. When introducing the Bill in the Legislature Premier Davis said Lim -it election spending thatthis Bill wiliregulate politica party financing, election cam paign contributions and ex penditures, and represents substantial reform of longstanding practices and customs which have governed this area of political activity. The Premier said it can be said it is the most progressive and enlightened and toughest legislation of its kind in Canada. The Minister of Labour, John MacBeth, informed the Legislature this week of new amendments to the regulations under the Employment Stan- dards Act which will give Agricultural workers in the Province of Ontario, engaged in harvesting of fruit, field vegetables and, tobacco, protection and benefits in the areas of minimum wage, vacation pay and public holidays with pay. The new admendments will be effective as of May 1, 1975. An adult engaged in the har- vesting of fruit, field vegetables and tobacco, under normal harvesting conditions must be paid the hourly provincial minimum wage of $2.40. The usual offsetting allowances for room and board will be per- mitted. Serviced and unserviced houses will be offset at the rate of $40.00 and $30.00 per week, respectively. The workers if they are em- ployed for more than three months will be covered by the vacation pay provisions of the Employment Standards Acta They will be entitled to holidays with pay on New Year's Day, Good Friday. Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas 1 Day. Beginning in 1977 and - thereafter they will also be en- - titled to holidays with pay on Victoria Day and Dominion Day. The new regulations specify that wage records must be kept including the name an and dresses of the worker, the hours worked each week, wage rates and actual earnings. In reply toa question by Robert Nixon, Leader of the Opposition as to whether the Solicitor General was going to respond in the affirmative to the requests of the efficiency and cost of ,s providing fire protection across the Province, George Kerr said that it was a very general request from a municipal group and did not indicate whether permanent fire departments or permanent fire brigades were requ ed in every part of the Prdvinc . Mr. Kerr said the the Government hopefully intend to provide fire protecion in unorganized territories in the north where they have no protection whatsoever now. He said there is the question of volunteer fire fighting. Many of the foresters want to continue the program where a small part of their foresters are permanent and the force is supplemented with volunteer help. He has requested his ministry to look into this and<that it would not necessarily be on any type of share cost basis. Most fire protection provisions and equipment is paid for locally. He was not aware of any 'substantial grants from the government to help municipalities from the southern part of the province for fire protection. Kerr said that Women at Cromarty show Japan imports By MRS. ROBERT LAING The February meeting of Cromarty W.M.S was held at the home of Mrs. Calder McKaig, with the latter presiding.

Persona Is The sympathy of the com- munity is extended to the Ramsey and Hulley families following the death of Alex Ramsey last Monday morning they hope to take over many of the functions now performed by the Liquor Control Board and the Ministry of Industry and Tourism. Darcy McKeough, Ontario Treasurer, announced this week that the Government has renewed a program known as Involvement in Municipal Administration ..(IMA). This program is open to students enrolled in public or business administration or urban or regional planning courses at universities or community colleges. The program will run from April to September. To encourage municipalities to employ students under the -IMA program, the Ontario, Gover ment is offering to reimburs municipalities up to 80 percentof the students, salaries, for a maximum subsidy of $100 per week per student. McKeough said the students participating in this program are not only provided with an op- portunity to gain practical ex- perience and to develop his or her academic training but can also assess the advantages of pur- suing a career in local govern- ment. At the same time municipality officials will be able to undertake studies, services , and other projects which probably would not otherwise be possible. This year's program is in- tended to provide 250 positions - 125 for planning students and 125' for public or business ad- ministration students. 'The Treasurer indicated that these figures are flexible and "will be altered if the demand so in- dicates." Eligible students are invited to enquire about IMA at the em- ployment offices of their colleges or universities.

They originate from this firm's legal department and I'm cer- tain that I don't owe this money. I have written to them on several occasions to inform them of this but to date my letters have all been ignored. I've also placed a couple of long distance phone calls to try to speak to their lawyer, but all I get is the run- around. I'm getting really worried about this. as I certainly don't want any garnishees against my wages, but what can I do?
