Angry Opposition members have demanded that the Speaker enforce the rules of the, Legislature rei quiring that Premier Davis table the compendium of in- formation which he used when deciding to buy Suncor Stock. He was asked for such a compendium when he an- nounced the purchase, about which only four Ministers knew ahead of time, and which was strongly opposed by the Treasurer, Frank Miller. Liberals have expressed strong opposition to the tran- saction, and have complain- ed that the 1650 million could have been better spent to support the Province's in- dustries. The sad truth is that the $650 million being spent on Suncor will not create one new job in Ontario, and will result in capital outflow to the United States. This money should have been spent on creating new jobs for Ontarians, by producing energy supplies using On- tario resources - on significantly improving our economy rather than bleeding it of vital capital. Had the $650 million been invested in fuel alcdhol plants, six 1,000 tonne -a -day plants could have been con- structed, with the capacity of producing 430 million gallons of fuel alcohol a year. By 1990, these plants could have replaced 15% of Ontario's gasoline re- quirements. In addition, such a project would have created nearly 7,000 direct and continuous jobs, as well as more than one thousand jobs during construction of the plants. Such a venture would have OHA JUNIOR D HOCKEY AT THE HENSAll ARENA See the Seaforth Centenaires in action FRI.

Insurance The Honourable Gord Walker, Minister of Con- sumer and Commercial Relations has stated that automobile insurance com- panies won't be allowed to charge elderly drivers higher premiums solely because of their age. More than 250,000 of On- tario's five million licensed drivers are over 65, and the Minister has said it is "un- fair and arbitrary" for some firms to charge more and to request medical certificates from elderly drivers in good health. Effective immediately, no insurance firm can refuse to renew a policy or to sell a new one solely on the basis of the driver's age. Rent review The Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister, Gord Walker, has also st ed that the govern- ment t not planning to abolish rent review "now, next year, or !n the Im- mediate future... Some form of rent review will remain...until there is a sub- stantial increase in available apartment units in those communities which are ex- periencing critical shor- tages." He expressed the view that a premature end to On- tario's rent review program could precipitate sharp and sudden rent increases, caus- ing severe financial dif- ficulties for many tenants. Human rights According to the Minister of Labour, Dr. Robert Elgie, the Conservatives have reached a consensus over legislation to create a new Human Rights Code. He said. he has removed one of the most controver- sial proposals, which provid- ed that someone who refused to produce documents for a human righty investigator could face a criminal charge of obstruction, and intends to follow through on a com- mitment to change the provisions of the bill so that investigators will be able only to request rather than require that documents be produced. Hopefully, he said, the bill will pass third reading by the end of the session in December. Forest regeneration Liberal, Leader Stuart Smith stated in the Legislature that the Ontario Government could have reforested 100,000 acres of Northern Ontario forest for the 110 million it paid for a jet for Premier William Davis. Dr. Smith told the Legislature that Ontario's forest regeneration program is falling behind by 150,000 acres a year. He asked Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope why he approved the purchase of the 16 seat jet for Mr. Davis out .of his budget. Mr. Pope replied that the 110 million was not taken out of the regeneration program but was added to his budget by the Management Board of the cabinet. Election expenses Opposition Members tried to put more pressure on the majority Conservative Government to implement more restrictive election spending laws than those now in force. Figures compiled from reports filed with the Com- mission on Election Spen- ding and Contributions, show that 31 major Ontario developers gave the Ontario Progressive Conservatives $116,175 in campaign funds to fight the last provincial election. It shows a heavy concen- tration of donations by developers for five riding associations and candidates in Metro Toronto's western suburbs. These include Premier William Davis's riding of Brampton and Transporta- tion and Communications Minister James Snow's Oakville riding. Housing Minister Claude Bennett, who represents Ottawa South, received con- tributions from about 45 businesses in the housing in- dustry. Premier Davis in response said that he did not think the 88 million his party spent on the March election was ex- cessive. Nor did he think Still need replies for Hensall survey Returns have been "reasonably good" on a sur- vey circulated by a Hensall group hoping to establish a greared-to-income seniors housing project. Bill Fuss, chairman of the Hensall United Church hous- ing committee said a cor- poration may be formed to start the project if the group's survey shows a need for the housing. The non-profit corpora- tion would be required to •CUSTOM KITCHENS AND VANITIES QUALITY HARDWOOD CABINETS from Ate by BELVEIUEFIE EXPERT DESIGN SERVICE NEW CONSTRUCTION OR REMODELING John Patterson 482-3183 ' BALL-MACAULAY SEAFORTH CLINTON HENSALL 527-01910 482-3405 282-2418 • apply to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) for building loan subsidies and rental assistance. "We don't need a corpora- tion if we don't have a need," Fuss said of the sur- vey. He added the corpora- tion was unnecessary if the housing was not needed. To build a 25 unit apart- ment building Fuss explain- ed, about five units would have to require rental assistance. Of the 65 forms the group has had returned, Fuss said very few would require assistance. He was op- timistic though, that when all the forms are returned, there should be enough need for the project. "It's a long hard road," he said of the problems of cir- culating the survey and hav- ing the data collected. "We're going to keep slugging away," he added. Fuss said the group would be holding another meeting in about tkvo weeks. "There are forms that are out and we need them back," he said, before the group can assess its situation and the needs of the community.

October 25 with Rev. Barbara Laing of Zurich officiating. Rev. La- ing had recently returned from a tour to Israel and showed the children how a shepherd there was dressed. She told them how the shepherd guards the doorway while the sheep are in the fold, just as Jesus guards us through life. In her sermon Rev. Laing spoke of the contrast between the Christian life and that of the unbeliever. St. Paul wrote we are either slaves of sin or of righteousness. Self cen- tredness is a sin and only leads to death. Righteousness is liberation and leads to eternal life. Reconciliation with God gives peace with oneself and with others. Mr. Ralph Topp, choir director was at the organ and the senior choir sang "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" by Durant, with Mrs. Donna St. John, Mrs. Carol Stuart and Don McCaffrey taking the solo and duet parts. Ushers were John and David Rowcliffe, Charles Doxtator and Rich Laing. Bill Scotchmer welcomed worshippers at the door. The flowers decorating the sanctuary were placed by the Riley family in memory of Raymond Riley and his grandfather Bert Riley. A special assembly was held in the Sunday School with Miss Elaine Townshend of Clinton as guest speaker. All the children received a AV E WAY greater appreciation of the lives of the handicapped and enjoyed listening to her.

Dr. George Goth, formerly of Metropolitan Church, Lon- don at 7.30 p.m. All friends of the church are invited to both services and the recep- tion following.
