The Government has outlin-
ed certain changes to the On-
tario Election Act. Ina state-
ment, James Breithaupt (Lib.
Kitchener) particularly
welcomed two major changes
which followed suggestions
made in Bill 9 (now before the
Legislate re) which is a
reprint of his Private Bill first
introduced in 1977 as Bill 116.
The proposed changes will

discretion is available to
Deputy Officers to
get a in the box. The
term "British Subject" will be
removed from the Act, confin-
ing voting privileges to Cana-
dian citizens (as has been the
case federally since 1975.)
Gangland Violence
While he agrees that more
gangland violence is a real
possibility in Ontario, the
Attorney -General is not
prepared to spend millions of
dollars on private bodyguards
"for these hoodlums". Liberal
House Leader Bob Nixon had
warned that the recent violent
deaths of crime figures
Domenic Racco and Paul
Volpe demonstrate organized
crime is in "a runaway situa-
tion in Ontario."
The A.G. agreed that there
was a problem, but insisted
law enforcement agencies
"are doing very well indeed"
in fighting it. He rejected a
call for a Royal Commission
into organized crime in the
province, claiming that public
inquiries into organized creme
in the U.S. and Quebec "have
been dismal failures when it
comes to actually collecting
any information upon which
charges can be laid."
Government opening
The five Opposition
Members of the Public Ac-
counts Committee have
issued a strongly worded dis-
sent from the Committee's
Annual Report, having been
thwarted in their attempts to
examine cases of public spen-
ding. Patrick Reid (Lib.
Rainy River), Chairman of
the Committee, who did not
sign the dissent because he L
expected to be less partisan,
said "The Conservatives have
been arrogant about using
their majority to water down
ow work. People should have
a right to know how their tax
dollars are being spent."
Several attempts to ques-
tion the need for spending 640
million on advertising annual-
ly were frustrated. The Com-
mittee said that at $5 per resi-
dent of Ontario, the advertis-
ing budget is among the
highest in Canada. It was
charged that there Is no pro-
per competition for selecting
advertising firms.
Conservative Members
defeated the motion to call the
former Minister of Govern-
ment Services to ask whether
he or his deputy (who resign-
ed in the midst of publicity
over the affair) was responsi-
ble for spending practices
criticized by the provincial
auditor.
Also Conservatives refused
to call the Justice Secretary
so that the Committee could
investigate charges that he
gave =tendered contracts to
close associates.
Bicentennial
Government planners of
Ontario's controversial 1984
bicentennial celebrations,
midway through their finan-
cial year, are asking that
their budget be more than
doubled. The requested extra
62.8 million will bring the
committee's budget for the
1983-84 fiscal year to close to
$5 million. The Premier also
Rudolph's history

Stephen Central Grade 6
A long time ago 1 was born
at the North Pole near a per-
son's house. His name was
Santa Claus. It was a very
strange there. Everyone was
working frantically.
Everyone making toys and
wrapping them, elves carry-
ing presents to their right
spots and Mrs. Claus was
making cookies. I figured out
that they were getting ready
for Christmas. That next
night I saw reindeer like me
going up into the air carrying
Santa's sleigh full of presents.

to put all the new reindeer in
hard training. I found he was
to pick nine to go up in his
sleigh that next Christmas.
When the try outs came I
never made it, so I got into a
fight with •Donder. When
Donder hit me my nose
started to glow. Santa saw
this and said, "Why Rudolph
why don't you guide my sleigh
instead of Ronny." When
Christmas Eve came was I
ever excited. We took off and
all around the world we went.
When we were finished I was
tired but I knew I had become
famous, so I didn't care.
CHRISTMAS?
By Lisa Ducharme
Grade 8
St. Boniface, Zurich
What is Christmas, may
I ask?
Christmas is not a doll for
sister,
Not a toy truck for brother
And not pretty decorations
hung on the fireplace.
The real meaning of
Christmas is a time for
loving,
A time of waiting for the
coming of Jesus Christ.
Have a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year.

Dear Santa;
Hi my name if Robin. I am
3 years old. I didn't write this,

for me. I think for Christmas
I would like a cuddly soft
stuffed animal. I would also
likethat doll Baby Skates and
last of all some clothing. If
you could arrange this please
do so. Thank you.

announced appointment of
Fred Ross as Director
General of the celebrations.
Roes, currently Director of
Community and Public
Liaison with the Ministry of
Government Services, is mar-
ried to Sally Barnes, former
press aide to the Premier,
now President of the Ontario
Council on the Status of
Women. Opposition Members
were critical of the govern-
ment for creating new ways
to hand out patronage ap-
pointments and special
grants, particularly when
public sector workers are be-
ing asked to practice spen-
ding restraint. -
Liberal MPP Eric Cunn-
ingham said the Ross appoint-
ment was just the first step in
the expansion of "the Pro-
gressive Conservative On-
tario Bicentennial Employ-
ment Program." He asked:
"Was this position
advertised?"
Child Abuse
A special all -party commit-
tee of the Ontario Legislature
has recommended that the
Ontario Government be more
aggressive in prosecuting
professionals who fail to
report suspected child abuse.
After six months of study, the
coe mittee has issued its
report, which also included
recommendations that the
Children's Aid Society be
assisted by other groups'and
agencies in counselling
families, that the lawbe
strengthened to say everyone
is required to report anyone
who abuses a child.
I'll report more fully on the
report during the recess.
