The Task Force was created in recognition of the fact that many communities in rural Ontario are faced with acute problems as d result of the recent recession, shifting demographics, a weakening agricultural base and limited municipal grants. The Task Force was established by Opposition Leader, David Peterson. and upon completion of its work it will report its findings to the Liberal Caucus at Queen's Park, which will recommend changes in legislation aimed at achieving redevelopment and renewal of smaller centres. Questions to be addressed are as follows - How can we keep skilled labour in the small towns? How can we make apprenticeship and manpower training programs more suitable to the smaller industrial facilities? - Flow can we improve the revenue picture for rural' =11111111111111111111111111111111IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL • SHOE SALE ENDS AUGUST 27 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnmmllnnnnnnnuunnnnnnnnnmm�nnnnnnnnnunnunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn- E.

Debate rural needs municipalities? - We need im- proved transportation bet- ween rural communities. How can we develop more ef- fective and viable links bet- ween smaller centres? - We need a workable policy on the locating of industrial facilities. How can smaller municipalities be assisted to more effectively compete for jobs and investments? - Rural municipalities need a stronger voice in government. How can we strengthen their political clout'? The Task Force just recent- ly returned from a trip to Nor- thwestern Ontario and after meeting with various groups in Fort Frances and surroun- ding areas, it became very obvious to me that Northern Ontario has been sadly neglected by the Ontario Government. It is my opinion that there must be a greater government commitment to Northern development, as On- tario needs the North, its con- tribution and potential to the vitality, economic well-being and life of'ourprovince. Northern Ontario is larger in population than three of the Atlantic Provinces and covers an area exceeding all of Atlantic Canada. It is a world treasure store of resources. Through the exploitation of its natural resource -base, par- ticularly in pulp and paper, mining and through tourism, Northern Ontario has con- tributed significantly to On- tario's economic well-being. For example. its mining in- dustry produces 37 percent of the value of Canada's metalic mineral each year. Its wilderness areas have offered pleasure and rejuvenation to hundreds of thousands of peo- ple. and have been the source of inspiration to, among others. Morley Callaghan, the Group of Seven. and Poet Duncan Campbell -Scott. For too long, Southern On- tario . has neglected developments in the north or treated them as being less than relevant to its own endeavours. For too long, (he govern- ment has repeated vague platitudes about the North. For example, in his 1977 Brampton Chatter, Premier Davis committed the govern- ment to "balanced growth and development in the North". while that same year, the then treasurer Darcy McKeough told the North there would be no major in- dustrial development in Nor- thern Ontario for decades. Unfortunately, the govern- ment's performance and priorities affecting the north have been sadly misplaced. A needed resource research centre study is located in Toronto rather than a Nor- thern University. The budget allocated to the Ministry of Northern Affairs for 1983/84 has been cut by $22 million, with much of the reduction in the areas of northern economic development and. northern transportation, vital sectors if we are to build a diversified, permanent economic base in the north. The Allan Commission of In- quiry reported in February 1983 about the widening gap between educational pro- grams in the small secondary northern schools and the rest of Ontario, and the need for the Ministry of Education to face up to the critical educa- tional problems in the North. The Ministry of Natural Resources has been proved incapable of administering its own moose conservation pro- gram, leading to the indefen- sible slaughter of hundreds of animals. The government continues to mishandle its fishing agreements, causing considerable concern on the part of commercial fishermen in particular and sports fishermen in general. The part of the Task Force report dealing with the North will be aimed at building a stronger Northern understan- ding in the Legislature and to seek social and economic justice for the North. The Task Force is learning of different kinds of problems in Southern Ontario and these too will he included in the report which will lead to fu: - ther discussion and debate in the Legislature. This is a good example of the democratic system work- ing at its best when the Op- position Party shapes policy and makes recommendations for government consideration based on its rindings by. travelling throughout the pro- vince and talking to the people. Afterall the government is nothing more and nothing less than a small group persons elected by the people to be responsible for the direction and supervision of public affairs. • Schade came to bat with the bases loaded with two out. He hit a home run making it 8-5. In the 5th inning Lakeside got two runs, Dashwood got five making it 13-7. The final score was Dashwood 16- Lakeside 8 with a very happy tram and coaches. They now go to the semi-finals near Wingham. The closing program for Vacation Bible School at Zion Lutheran Church was held Thursday, with parents, grandparents and friends at- tending. Nursery, primary, junior and preteen groups sang songs they had learned and also presented dialogues. Each teacher and helper received a certificate and gift. Proud children showed what they had done during the two weeks. The Ladies Aid served light refreshments. A number of Dashwood and area people attended the Summerfest ' parade in Crediton, Saturday and were delighted to see Dashwood residents taking part. Mrs. Wilbur Stewart returned to London following a lengthy stay with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gaiser and girls. Personals Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Becker, Wayne and friend at- tended the Otterbein reunion at Mankein, Ontario. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Lam- bke, Cambridge -Preston visited their niece, Mrs. Lorne Becker and family. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Pastorius, London, with their niece and family, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Weischler and family, Canora, Saskat- chewan, are spending a week at the Becker homestead, camping.
