time finally arrived for Us
to move into the
exhibition for the evening
concert.
When we finally As the opening group

overly large crowd The opening group, called
around so three friends Dakota, played some
and myself decided to really good songs. They

to try out the wilder rides After they left the stage

Our interest in the CNE pause and then Queen
exploded onto the stage.
Lead singer Freddy
Mercury perf orrned,
spectacular vocal and'
physical acrobatics much
to the delight , of the
crowd,
He sang better than I
have ever heard him sing
before and the highlights
of the evening included
Bohemian Rhapsody, We
will Rab You, and Crazy
Little Thing Called Love.
The group was called
back to the stage for two
encores with riotous
applause and -it -lost people
thorough enjoyed the
concert which made our
entire trip worthwhile.
Jottings ,from Queen's Park
Judging from the
number of enquiries at
my Constituency Office it
is apparent that the
implementation of the
new Ontario Tax Grants
for Seniors Program, has
caused considerable
confusion for senior
citizens and 'I understand
this is widespread across
Ontario.
We ' welcome these
enquiries and we are only
too = pleased to render
assistance as I can well
understand the confusion
even though the Ministry
has attempted to inform
the potential recipients Of
the details of the program
through the distribution
of pamphlets and other
explanatory .material.
Instead of spending
thousands of dollars on
election - campaign -like
material, designed to
give the government
credit, it would be far
more advantageous to
'allocate funds for
seminars to be conducted
by Ministry of Revenue
employees at such places
as Senior Citizens Drop -
In Centres, Ontario
Housing Senior Citizen
Complexes and other
locations where a
significant number of
applicants might
congregate. We have
made this suggestion to
the Government .and if
such a procedure was
implemented, then
relevant information
would be available on a
first hand basis to senior
citizens and they would
be spared the political
propoganda which is now
emanating from the
Ministry. The govern-
ment will also demon-
strate that -this program
is being put into effect
"because Ontario cares".
A Provincial incentive
grant program has been
established to assist
farmers who wish to
install ethanol stills on
their farm for evaluation,
demonstration and trial
use of alcohol as a fuel.
The purpose of this pilot
program is _ to evaluate
the technology and
economics of ethanol
production.
Approved projects are
eligible for grants of 40
per cent of the Capital
costs including paid
labour to a maximum of
$15,000 for an on farm still
constructed b an in-
dividual farmer and up to
$20,000 for a still installed
by a small group of
farmers on a co-operative
basis. The program will
be administered by
Ministry of Agriculture
and Food, Energy
Manag'ient Resource
Centre, which is now
being established.
General information and
information on ap-
plication procedures are
available at 1c al
Ministry Offices.
Applications should in-
clude a description of the
process proposed, use of
the ethanol and use of
byproducts. .
The Occupiers Liability
Act and the Trespass to
Property Act has now
been proclaimed. This
new legislation will in-
crease the protection of
landholders from
trespass and at the same
time encourage rural
land owners and oc-
cupiers to make portions
of their land available for
recreation activities.
Pamphlets, booklets
and posters as part of the
public education cam-
paign to explain the new
legislation can be ob-
tained at my Con
stituency Office.
Restricted area zoning
orders controlling
d veeloprnera of land' in
tl' Townships of
derich and Colbo ne
ahaie been revoked by
Housing Minister Claude
Bennett, The Order-s..were
imposed in 1973, .mainly
to `regulate large scale
commercial development
on the periphery of the
Town of Goderich. The
Province no longer sees a
need to be directly in-
volved in controlling
development in the area.
A new telephone access
program will be in effect
?in all Ontario con-
stituencies by September
30, 1980. Zenith service
will become operative at
that time and all blue
pages listings will be on
the Bell Canada Infor-
mation network.
Bell Canada directories
for the Province are
published at various
stages throughout the
year. My Constituency
Office number will ap-
pear in the next edition of
each directory covering
telephone exchanges
which form part of the
Huron -Middlesex Con-
stituency. As it may be up
to a year before this in-
formation appears in the
Blue Pages section of the
directory., covering our
area, I am taking this
opportunity to advise my
constituents of this toll-
free service. The Huron -
Middlesex Constituency,
which I represent, has
been assigned Zenith
Number ZN14730. Con-
stituents living in
telephone exchanges
which are long distance
to my Constituency Office
in Exeter, may contact
my office by dialing . the
operator and asking for
the zenith number.
»Tor those constituents
who wish to contactmy
office this number will
become effective Sep-
tember 30th, 1980.

Today,' I'll be reviewing
the' latest gourmet
restaurant in Clinton,
called. TheB lue Fountain.
How 1 carne to hear of
this new taste tickling
treat is quite hilarious. I
was standing at the
corner, outside Bartliff's
with a . few female
acquaintances, when two
middle aged gentlemen
halted in front of us. The
gentlemen conversed for
a minute, walked over to
my acquaintances,, gave
thein $20 and disappeared,
into the Blue Fountain
with the., ladies. This
sparked my interest so 1
also entered.
1 found myself in a
long, exquisitely and
expensively decorated
room in .a style I did not
recognize. It is set on two
levels.
The upper level had a•.
more carefree and '
in-
formal air about it. At the

A train consisting of a
locomotive and four box-
cars travels down a
single track. Behind the
train is a large passenger
train moving faster than
the small train. To avoid
inconvenience to
passengers (well, -this is
fiction), the small train
must let . the passenger
train through. There is a
small siding intd' which
the small train may back
into, but the siding can
only hold three box cars
at a time (or a locomotive
and two cars) . The
passenger train may
