Forty people from many countries received their citizenship. Her Honour, Judge C.M.V. Pensa presided in a warm and friendly man- ner, lecturing on the merits and responsibilities of Cana- dian citizenship, and conduc- ting the rites in a helpful way for anyone whose English was uncertain. She expressed regret afterwards that there wasn't time to hear the in- teresting stories some of the immigrants would be able to tell. Constable Henderson, in R,C.M.P. dress uniform, was present, and remained for the reception. When Thuy ex- pressed interest in his gun, he removed it from its holster and allowed him to examine it and placed 4iis hat• on Thuy's head for pictures. Each new citizen received a Bible from the Canadian Bi- ble Society and a book from the City of London. Mrs. Mur- ray, representing the I.O.D.E., welcomed them and other members served at a reception. The Nguyens were enter- tained at a luncheon at Gabriel's to celebrate, and presented with gifts. There was much laughter, as those who worked closely with Hiep and Tai reminisced about the difficulties with budgeting and suitable clothing for winter weather, etc. Tai received high marks in a machinery course at Fan- shawe and is employed at Ventures in Vanastra. Hiep teaches in Robertson Memorial Public School in Goderich. They hope to move to Clinton this summer. They also hope to bring their parents to Canada this year.

A social hour was enjoyed with our hostesses over a cup of coffee and cake. Ry Jack Riddell MPP Government Spending Liberal Finance Critic Pat Reid (Rainy River) has again attacked the Government's spending practices. A 142,600 study to deter- mine public attitudes to Expo 86 in Vancouver B.C. under- taken by Decima Research for the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, paid for with tax- payer's money, was neither tendered nor exempted from tendering by the Cabinet's Management Board. The project was cleverly divided into three segments billed below 115,000 each - the key figure which would have brought into play the need for tendering. Once again, thousands of taxpayer's dollars went to an organiza- tion friendly to the Davis government. Other firms were given no opportunity to bid, always supposing the contract award was a legitimate exercise. Opposition Leader David Peterson and Mr. Reid also made public details of a series of contracts costing more than 1150,000 in public funds. None was tendered, rules were blatantly manipulated, apparently to evade the pro- visions of the Davis govern- ment's much touted Manual of Adminjstration. Disclosures on public money going to favoured firms and individuals put to lie to the myth that the Davis Government is administering the public purse wisely and well. Recently contracts were awarded to Peter Barnard Associates for advice on creating resources machinery development cen- tre in Sudbury and to Dorey and Crossley Communica- tions for services during a 26 week absence of a senior staff member. We have witnessed con- traventions of the Manual of Administration by several ministries. For example, the Doug Wiseman/Alan Gordon disputes: the 581,300 contract Jach s )ottingo Attack spending to Allan W. Foster and Associates parcelled out in ten separate payments each below the 115,000 tendering level; the 1101,000 telephone directory and the 1617,000 telephone data base project, without Management Board authority or the feasibility study required by the manual. Gordon Walker paid 1207,000 to Donald R. Martyn and Associates (untendered) mainly for politically stage managing in the opening of six provincial technology cen- tres. A total of 8206,000 was paid to Gwyn P. Williams' Matrix Communications for speech writing, an average of 828,000 a.year for three years, then 1120,207 in 82/83, the year Williams collaborated on Walker's book "A Conser- vative Candidate." Now Management Board Chairman George McCague has declared in his "Wasaga Beach confession" that the government will conduct a review to ascertain who is ultimately responsible for safeguarding taxpayer's money. Such a question from a Minister of the Crown gives pause for thought, if not for panic. Who has been tending the store until now? In a recent issue of the government publication Topical the Manual of Ad- ministration was referred to as "the purple peril", osten- sibly because it requires adherence to rules and regulations. Regardless of the manual or any new approval processes which may emerge, ministries clearly do not adhere to the discipline of standardized procedures. Ways are found to circum- vent, end -run and. ignore directions on public spending. Contracts are split to evade tendering requirements, are misclassified to avoid stringent approval pro- cedures. Management Board directives are snubbed and the Board turns a blind eye to spending transgressions. The management of public funds has become a serious concern for those who govern for those who are governed. Taxpayers apect value for their money. We uphold the expectation and intend to pur- sue these matters in the public interest. Introduce Katimavik Hi there!

ROBERT LAING Friday afternoon, the ladies from Hibbert United Church were guests at Cromarty Presbyterian Church for the annual World Day of Prayer service. This year's program, prepared by the women of Sweden, was used by groups of women the world over as they met March 2. Leaders of the service were Dorothy Miller, Margaret Christie, Hannah Miller, and Margaret Daynard. The story of the woman at the well in Samaria was dramatized with Pearl James as Jesus, Mary Elliott as The Woman and Ruth Laing as narrator. Muriel Scott accompanied herself on the autoharp as she sang the Swedish folk song How Great Thou Art. Rev. Ray Anderson of Staf- fa, spoke briefly on life in Sweden as well as on the World Day of Prayer theme for this year, Living Water from Christ, Our Hope. He noted that Sweden has a population of about 8.3 million, and has been at peace for 170 years. 1t has a socialist government with good benefits for workers. paid for mainly by high taxes. Speaking on the theme, he noted the need for the sharing of good water, whether natural or spiritual. There is a feeling of hopelessness in many parts of the world and hope for these people must be found. We must learn to grow up together or we'll blow up together. Others taking part in the prayer service were Betty Dow, Verle Mahon, Helen Fell, Edna Stoneman, Marion McCaughey, Ada Pethick, Margaret Miller, Grace Kerslake, and Roberta Templeman. Mary F. Dow was at the piano for the singing of several hymns including Lord Jesus, Friend of Women and the Swedish folk melody, Come ye, From AH Corners Gather.
