It was an- nounced another euchre to be held in two weeks on March 18. Personals . Harold and Lucille Vincent, accom- panied by Carman and Verna Lovie of Grand Bend, returned last week from a pleasant three week holiday in the area of Englewood, Florida.

OSAP will provide more assistance to students from farm families because farm assets will now be con- sidered at half their net value. The decision to increase assistance to students from farm families resulted from a review of declining farm prices and the resulting impact on farm incomes. In addition, Mr. Sorbara said OSAP will extend grant assistance to students attending degree -granting religious schools and approved art schools. Until now, students attending institutions such as the Ontario Bible College and the National Theatre School in Montreal, to cite just two ex- amples, have been eligible only for loan assistance. Mr. Sorbara said much of the new funding will be directed to increasing the grant assistance provided to students. These changes to OSAP are consistent with the Ontario Govern- ment's policy of increasing ac- cessibility to post -secondary institu- tions. This is the second substantial increase to the Ontario Student Assistance Program in as many years. Holds Line on MPP Salaries Premier David Peterson said he op- poses attempts by a legislative com- mittee to seek a 58 percent pay in- crease for committee work when the house isn't sitting as well as a $500 monthly stipend to lease a luxury car. "Everybody thinks they deserve more but I don't think that's the ap- propriate kind of leadership for members of parliament to show," said Premier Peterson. Premier Peterson said MPPs should not put more money into their pockets while the government negotiates salaries with doctors, civil servants and Ontario Hydro workers.

Senior's Awards Once again, as part of the pro- vince's celebration of Senior Citizens' Month in June, a number of Senior 'Achievement Awards will be given to seniors who have made outstanding contributions to their communities and to the quality of life in Ontario, without any purpose of personal gain. If you know of a worthy person who is over 65 and an Ontario resident, I would invite you to send your nomina- tion to the office for Senior Citizens' Affairs, 76 College Street, 6th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M7A 1N3. Deadline for receipt or nomination forms (available at my Exeter office) is April loth, and the awards will be presented at a special ceremony at the Legislature in June of this year. The readers write . Dear Editor: The Government of Ontario ap- pears ready to laugh in the face of all research and the best advice of organizations involved in the preven- tion of alcohol abuse. That, at least, would be the result of an acceptance of many of the proposals submitted by the nine -member Government committee investigating Ontario's li- quor legislation. Several recommendations ( i.e. BYOB restaurants, round-the-clock alcohol service to hotel guests, relin- quishing control of drinking at private events and the extension of tavern hours), seem determined to increase alcohol consumption in Ontario: With the cost of alcohol abuse already exceeding two billion dollars, one wonders how much more Govern- ment alcohol promotion the citizens M Ontario will tolerate?? ! ! — -Sincerely, Karl N.
