Jack's Jottings
Announce changes for
stores within the next 18
months, the Minister of
Agriculture and Food, Lorne
Henderson has announced a
one-time only grant program
for beef producers, under
which the Province will pay
640a cow to Ontario beef -calf
operators, if the cow had a
calf in 1981.
To be eligible, farmers
must have had the cow as of
August 1st, and must have a
minimum of five cows. The
head of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture,
while not wishing to "lode
down on a $20 million
program" said it would still
not be enough to get farmers
out of their financial trouble.
Ontario's economy
In a lengthy speech about
spending estimates for the
Ministry of Treasury and
Economics, the Treasurer
spent half his time on "fed -
bashing" Liberal Finance
Critic David Peterson
(London Centre) responded
by saying to the Treasurer,
Frank Miller, "We are in a
major declige today in
Ontario with all the lay-offs.
They are testimony to an
eroded and corroded
manufacturing sector. We
need immediate aid in a
number of areas and you
have exhausted your options
By JACK RIDDELL MPP

These changes are due to
take place April 1, 1982.
Among other things,
hospitals will be permitted to
increase their revenues by
charging more for private
and semi -private beds next
year, as well as converting
some public ward apace, now
set at 50 percent of a
hospital's bed, to private or
semi -private use.
Previously, revenue from
this type of accommodation
has been split 65-35 between
the Province and the
hospitals respectively.
Under the new plan, the
hospital will be able to keep
all the revenue, and apply it
to other programs.
Liberal Leader Stuart
Smith's reaction to the
Minister's announcement
was that "Medicare is now
being systematically
dismantled." Hospitals "are
now being told to declare
more of their beds as private
and semi -private, so if you
are waiting for an operation
you'll be told: "Look, we
can't accommodate you In
the standard ward, but if you
would come in as semi-
private we just might get you
in a little sooner'. "The only
way the hospitals can sur-
vive now, according to the
government, is to gouge
people who want semi-
private care."
Stuart Smith tabled a
motion calling for a debate
on a "matter of urgent public
importance, namely the
imposition of two -class
health care in Ontario an-
nounced inside the
Legislature by the Minister
of Health whereby sup-
plementary hospital in-
surance will become a
necessity, even longer
waiting periods will be
imposed on ordinary
citizens, and user fees are to
be entrenched, thus further
eroding universal
medicare."

Prostheses coverage
The Minister of Health,
Mr. Dennis Timbrell,
responding to Opposition
questions, has stated that he
has asked the Cabinet to
approve coverage of the cost
of prostheses under the
Ontario Health Insurance
Plan.
Liberal Members Patrick
Reid (Rainy River) and
David Peterson (London
Centre) pointed out that the
Opposition has been
demanding OHIP payment
for such items for more than
five years.
Odometers
According to the Minister
of Consumer and Com-
mercial Affairs, The
Honourable Gord Walker,
the number one consumer
fraud of rolling back
ANL
odometers on used cars is
increasing, due to high in-
terest rates and the high cost
of new cars.
Dependable, low -mile-
age, used cars are in great
demand, and "spinning"
odometers has become even
more popular among
"unethical car sellers".
Since the Ministry launched
a crackdown on odometer
tampering in 1979, over 1,000
charges have been laid
against 249 private and
registered car dealers in
Metro Toronto alone.
