Report from Queen's Park
Fivt government departments

for five years, told the committee
that information about the phony
invoices had been suppressed by
members of the provincial audi-
tor's department and in some in-
stances no action had been taken.
Mr. Smith charged that he had
been threatened with dismissal
by the assistant provincial audi-
tor, William Groom, if he sup-
plied information on spending
irregularities to the committee.
He also said that educational
funds have been recklessly spent
for the. sole purpose of using up
the allotted appropriations. At
the end of Athe fiscal year money
is hurriedlyKspent on goods which
are luxurious or unnecessary.
Mr. Smith said employees in
the Ontario Government and
school boards have been intimi-
dated into keeping the practice
secret.
In other evidence submitted to
the committee Mr. Smith said de-
partments have little incentive to
adjust matters because errors
continue for months, even years,
after the sources are detected.
Mr. Smith said he discovered
irregularities first in the Depart-
ment of Education. He said he

discovered that invoices certify-
ing that the education depart-
ment had received supplies were
false. In fact, the goods had never
been shipped, and were not avail-
able;
The formal hearings into_the
Workmen's Compensation Board
commenced this week with the
major witnesses being Attorney
General Dalton Bales and John
Cauley, retired vice chairman of
the board, who made the original
charges which resulted in setting
up the hearing. .
Attorney General Bales said he
was surprised when John Cauley
offered to resign during a meet-
ing in 1969. "There were a num-
ber of points I wanted to raise and
discuss_ with Mr. Cauley, but
shortly after the meeting began
he offered to resign and since this
was obviously on his mind, I felt
it was the best thing for him to
do," said Mr. Bales.
Mr. Bales indicated that as far
as he was concerned the $62,000
paid to Mr. Cauley over 28
months was the equivalent of
salary on the basis of whatever
sick and vacation credits he had
with the board, and in line with
what was thought to be the gen-
eral policy of the board.
Mr. Cauley says the arrange-
ment was for full salary for that
period, and in addition the credits
would also be paid to him.

A valuable tool if
you follow the rule
Use stilbestrol properly. That's
the way to assure its future avail-
ability and the privilege of enjoy-
ing the benefits it affords cattle-
men.
The rules for the proper usage
of stilbestrol in beef production
are established and enforced by
the Canada Department of
Agriculture and the Department
of National Health and Welfare.
The rules are simple but import-
ant. if you keep your end of the
bargain, continued use of this,
valuable tool should be assured.'
Here.are the rules:
1. Take cattle off feed con-
•taining stilbestrol at least 48
hours prior to slaughter.
2. Never feed stilbestrol at
levels higher than 10 mg. per
head per day.
3. If stilbestrol isrimplanted,
the maximum permissible level
is 36 mg and cattle may not be

marketed until at least 120 days
after implanting.
4. Do not feed stilbestrol to
animals that have been im-
planted.
5. Do not feed stilestrol to
cows or bulls.
6. Do not feed stilbestrol to
animals under 400 pounds.
Stilbestrol has been shown to
increase rate of gain by about 15
percent and feed efficiency by 10
percent. When used properly,
within the above guidelines, it is a
completely safe produce—safe to
use on your steers, and more
important—safe for the con-
sumers who eat and enjoy the
beef you produce.
'What's At Stake?
Today. in Canada and the
United States, stilbestrol and its
users are on trial. Here's .why.
Stilbestrol is a synthetic estro-
gen and has been shown to cause
cancer whenadministered in
high dosages directly to animals
highly susceptible to cancer for-
mations. However, we shouldn't
be „ alarmed ' by this. Estrogens
occur naturally in all 'sorts of
foods—eggs, apples, bananas~-
and are also present throughout
life in both men and women as
naturally occurring hormones.
Nevertheless, because stilbes-
trol has been labeed a carcino-
gen, the tolerance for stilbestrol
residues in beef is zero. This
means -;it is against the law for
you to market an animal if the
carcass contains any stilbestrol
residues. You are liable to pro-
secution under the food and
Drugs Act if any is found. Tests
for stilbestrol are now possible
down to one or two parts per
billion. That's a' pretty small
amount. One part per billion is
like one penny ` in ten million
dollars.
If residues of stilbestrol, even,
at extremely low levels, are
found in even a few )issues of beef
cattle, cattlemen face the likeli-
hood that the use of stilbestrol
will be seriously restricted or dis-
allowed outright.
Producers .can continue to
enjoy the benefits of stilbestrol
provided it is used wisely, and
within the recommended -guide-
New plates to
carry message
, When the new permanent li-
cence plates are issued in 1973
they will carry the message,
"Ontario—Keep It Beautiful,"
Environment Minister J. A. C.
Auld announced.'
This theme not only reflects the
widespread and growing concern
for our environment, he told the
House, it also "will serve as a
continuing reminder that a clean
environment is an individual re-
sponsibility."
The message will remind visi-
tors and potential tourists "that
Ontario is a beautiful province
whose people are concerned with
conserving and enhancing its na-
tural attractions," he said. "Nine
of 10 Canadian. provinces and
many American states send their
messages on licence plates wher-
ever people travel by car."
Moak orange is
a floweriAg shrub
-One of the advantages of living
in Ontario is a climate in which a
wide range of shrubs will flour-
isl�;hisincludes the popular va-
�1r x 1ti s of Philadelphus,
'T6 n ;lis mock drange, sy gto
or orange blossom.
This excellent shrub has many
• uses in the, garden, says R. F.
Gomme, horticultural specialist,
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture ' and Food: It's ideal. in
prominent places throughout the
garden. Some varieties will grow
to a height of 8 feet and. more, so
they are appropriate as a back-
ground screen or high hedge.
Smaller varieties such as Mont'
Blanc are excellent for a founda-
tion planting or rockery.
The habits and characteristics
of the different varieties of Phila-
delphus are varied. Some grow
erect while others are spreading.
Many are fragrant and all have .
white flowers. The gold leaf va-
riety should be planted in full sun,
to retain its striking color.
When selecting flowering
shrubs for your garden this year,
consider the many varieties of
Philadelphus, says Mr. Gomme.
NThey are all quite hardy for most,
areas of the province.

1. 'STRONGER, MORE
VIGOROUS STANDS •
Fertilization helps este bhsh, big
vigorous plants, .,improves first
year yields, and -winteriz.es:'
legumes.
.2. HIGHER YIELDS OF DRY
, fertilizing every year boosts per
acre yields and the production of
Total Digestible Nutrients.
3. BETTER PRODUCTION,
YEAR AFTER YEAR
Annual fertilization improves per-
sistence, reduces need for fre-
quent costly reseeding.

4. LOWER COST FEED
NUTRIENTS •
Productive hay and pasture crops
are the lowest cost source of feed
nutrients. High yields will further
Teduce costs, and lessen the need
for purchased feeds.
6. INCREASED MILK & BEEF
PER ACRE
Milk and beef production on well-
managed, well -fertilized pastures
show that per acre output can
often be doubledor tripled.
6. EXTRA CASH INCOME
