Filter Queen "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA" 482-7103 By Jack Riddell MPP The Legislature's Standing Committee on Procedural Af- fairs has reviewed the On- tario Status of Women Coun- cil. Speaking on behalf of the Official Opposition, Women's Critic Bill Wrye addressed his comments to the relative suc- cess of the Council in fulfilling its mandate and improving the status of women in On- tario. This success can only be measured by the im- plementation of policies specifically directed towards the needs of women For instance, he asked, what progress has been made in directing the flow of government funding, through such programs as BILD and O.D.C., to those companies which adhere to such govern- ment goals as affirmative ac- tion programs? Which of the Council's recommendations have been acted upon to date which have improved the situation of women in our labour force? Does the Council see any breakthrough in understan- ding the problems of day care which is a policy to be im- plemented hand-in-hand with an employment strategy for women? How satisfied is the C9uncil with the government's 'equal pay for work of equal value' provisions - both within the government and in com- panies doing business with the government? Finally, now that there is a Minister in place responsible for the status of women in On- tario, along with. the establishment of a mechanism, the Women's Dir ctorate, to direct the im- plefnentati.,n of of these policies, what will the ongoing role of the Ontario Status of Women Council be? And specifically, Wrye ask- ed, now that the Dir' cterate is in place, at what point will the Chairperson think the Council no longer has an ef- fective role to play in this process? It will be interesting, he said, to see if the new Chairperson feels that the establishment of a Minister and a Directorate is a signal for the phasing out of his Council. Sally Barnes, Chairperson of the Ontario Status of Women Council, told the Pro- cedural Affairs Committee that many employers would work to scuttle legislation guaranteeing women the same pay as men for perfor- ming work of equal value, with the argument that it represents undue government interference in the private sector. She believes that before the law can succeed in Ontario, the public needs to be made more aware of the damage done to society by economic discrimination against women. Ontario has already in place legislation guarantee- ing the same pay for women doing the same jobs as men. Equal pay for work of equal value legislation would guarantee women the same pay as men for doing jobs which may he different, but which are judged to be of the same value. September 13, Bill Wrye demanded release of a background paper and recoznmendations on an employment strategy for women promised since 1980. In an open letter to the Minister of Labour, he reminded the Minister that this paper was promised most recently during Ministry estimates last December and January. At that time the Minister said, "I anticipate the report will be finalized early this year. The Commi- sioners will also review an employment strategy for women at their next meeting and I hope to have their recommendations to Cabinet shortly thereafter." Wrye told the Minister that members of the Procedural Affairs Committee had been informed that the recommen- dations of the report were "not too awfully good." The Chairperson of the Ontario Status of Women Council in- dicated that she had not seen the final proposals, that they were hardly worth the time and effort put into this work, or the long delay in producing SUPER SPECIAL SUPER SPECIAL 1.11.1"11111SPECIAL SUPER SPECIAL imilir SUPER GINGERALE, SUGAR FREE GINGERALE CLUB SODA, TONIC WATER, WINK, C PLUS ORANGE DIET TONIC WATER CANADA DRY 750 TILE PLUS IT DEPOSIT 14 oz.

He concluded, "All tax- payers of this province, especially women, have a right to an accounting of this disgraceful situation. I gain little solace from comments by Ontario Manpower Com- mission Chairman Alan Wolfson, in Committee...that recommendations flowing from the report will surface in a month or so. We have heard this promise before. The time is long past when the report should have been placed before the public for con- sideration. I urge you to avoid further delay with the im- mediate release of this vital report.” Times -Advocate, September 21, 1983 Pogo 5A TYING THE KNOT — Kelly Daymon concentrates on tying her shoe lace during story time at the Hensoil Nurser School.

Kippen. 4-H begins new term By Margaret Hoggarth The first meeting of Kippen 1 was held on Thursday, September 15 at leader Mrs. Margaret Hoggartl:'s house. The meeting opened with the 4-H pledge and followed with the election of officers. Presi- dent is Janet Hoggarth, vice president is Linda Binnendyk, secretary is Joan Binnendyk, press reporter is Diane Van- neste and treasurer is Lois Binnendyk. We chose the name "Kippen Kuties" for our club. At the next meeting the Kuties will be going to Vanastra for a workout, followed by a meeting at Mrs. Hoggarth's. A most enjoyable outdoor Presbyterian Church service and picnic lunch was held at Camp Kintail on Sunday September 11. People atten- ding from this area were Bert, Eleanor and John Thompson, Bob and Marlene Bell, and Al and Margaret Hoggarth. Kippen United Church Service at St. Andrew's was held at 10 a.m. 'on Sunday September 18 with Pastor Don Moffat in the pulpit. The scripture lesson was taken from Joshua 1:5-10. The ser- mon was entitled "Be Strong and of Good Courage." Sunday school was well at- tended Mrs. David Cooper presided at the organ. The Junior Choir who had attend- ed summer Bible school presented the ministry of music directed by Miss Christine Cooper. Stanley complex taking shape By Shelley McPhee The foundations have been poured, the structure is quickly taking shape and by next year at thistime Stanley . Township residents should be enjoying the benefits of a new community centre. Stanley Township Clerk Mel Graham reported that work issteadilyprogressingon the new $600,000 community centre. Being constructed just west of Varna, the new centre will house the municipal of- fices, the public works depart- ment and will provide a large community centre. The building will replace the old Varna hall, a two storey frame structure that was built back in 1875. Concrete plans to build the new centre began in May and ClerkGrahambelievesthat by the time winter sets in, the main outside work will be completed and interior con- struction will begin. Ausable proposal The Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority (ABCA) has asked Stanley Township to help with the maintenance work at the Clinton Conserva- tion Area. At council's September 6 meetingABCA representative John Smithers explained that the cost of maintaining the park has begun a financial burden on the Authority. He said that the main problem is that work crews from Exeter must be sent to the Clinton Park on a weekly basis to cut the grass. Cost of transporta- tion and wages have put a strain on the ABCA budget and Mr. Smithers said that the quality of the park could suffer if a solution to the maintenance problem is not found. The proposal has also been presented to council in Clinton and Tuckersmith Townships. Tuckersmith said they would not give any assistance since they believe that the levy they pay to the ARCA should in- clude maintenance costs. Clinton council is still con- sidering the proposal, but Stanley has taken a stand FIRE CALL The Exeter and area fire department answered one call this week, but there was no fire. II was one case where the old adage of where there's smoke, there's fire turned out to be incorrect. An employee at Exeter Pro- duce spotted smoke at the plant on Sunday and turned in the alarm, but the smoke was coming only from a waxing machine that had in- advertently been turned on. similar to Tuckersmith Coun- cil. Stanley pays approx- imately $7,500 to the Authori- ty each year and council feels this payment should ade- quately cover their share of maintenance costs at the park. Council also feels that the township is already well serv- ed by two recreational aras, the Stanley Township beach and the ball park at Varna. Council briefs A donation of $50 was given to the Huron Plowman's Association. The Association requested donations from various municipalities in the county and the money was us- ed to help finance the September 17 county plowing match at the Clare Deichert farm, near Zurich. Ten tile drain loan applica- tions were studied by council. They amounted to $71,800. Council approved another tile drainage loan of 818,000. Initial work has been com- pleted on the Robinson- Borrman subdivision north of Bayfield. The subdivision, which will include 25 building lots, has been registered. Some lights are needed There's a suggestion that some spotlights are needed in the area of the Exeter municipal offices, but the reason is left to your imagination. It would prevent damage or "whatever is happening," Deputy -Reeve Lossy Fully commented in making the recommendation from the general government commit- tee, Monday. Later in the session, further light was cast on the subject when descriptions such as "daring" and "uninhibited" were used to describe what it was that was taking place in the lot behind the building. "Would you like to ex- plain?" Mrs. Fuller finally asked clerk Liz Bell. The lat- ter declined. ACTION SONG -- Hensoll Nursery School teacher Mrs. Debby Denomme leads the children in an action song.
