John Clement, Minister of Con. sumer and Commercial Rela- tions said the rates are a reflec- tion of higher awards in the courts, and the larger cost of re- pairing automobiles which was in part due to higher wages being paid to mechanics. He said the higher rates in the north are due to the fact that damage and destruction of windshields in the north is more frequent than in the south. Windshields are expensive to replace, he added. • 0-0-0 The Ontario government will spend $15 million in the next year to create new day care facilities for about 3,000 children.

This is what Ontario is doing to help solve them in advance. Recently arrangements were made for a group of Indian children to attend the public school in a northern Ontario town. The principal of the school in the town was aware that Indian children sometimes had a rough time at the hands of other students, and to try to forestall this kind of situation, he called in a Human Rights Commission counsellor to talk to the other children. The counsellor asked the childrenif any of them had ever moved to a new school, and what they thought it would feel like,if they were the strangers. In thiS way he helped them understand how the Indian children would be feeling when they ar- rived, and the integration proceeded relatively smoothly. Community counselling is one of the major _roles of your Ontario Human Rights Commission. We hold seminars and dis- cussions with police in areas where there are communication barriers between them and minority groups, to help relieve ten- sion and promote mutual understanding. We attend meetings o1. immigrants and native-born minority groups to ex\plain to them both their rights under the legislation and their responsibilities as citizens of this Province. •We also help bring people into contact with local agencies like home -and -school groups, community and government agen- cies, and churches, which are available to help but which many people don't even know exist. Wherever there's a difficulty based on race, language, colour or creed, the Human Rights Commission is available to generate discussion and motivate people to develop understanding and re- spect for the other's point of view. Our job is to help bring people together and encourage healthier relationships among all groups.

' Clerk Ivan Haskins Said on Monday this increase has nothing to do with the Howick Community Centre since debentures haven't been issued yet. This will mean that a resident assessed at $3,000. will be paying about $356 total as compared to 1973's $296 (excepting lighting mill rate fer the hamlets of Wrox- eter, Gorrip, Fordwich, Beimpre. and thkelet Whieh Will have an additional rate of about 14 mills to pay). Revenue through grants and permits are expected to total $125,985 which would mean that the mill rate would have to make up the difference of $115,435 to match projected expenditures. Last year's difference was $42,212 upon which the mill rate was set. The general township rates wereincreased by about 18 mills; the county mill rate went down by about five; board of education down by about -two; and the sep- arate school mill rate increased by about six mills. The commercial mill rate for Howick Township rose by about 14 mills. Breaking down that figure, the general township commercial rate increased by about 18 mills. This year's residential mill rates with last year's in brackets are: general township, 28.098 mills (10.259mills); county, 15.67 mills (21.102 mills); board of ed- ucation, 35.286 mills (33.74 mills); and separate schools, 39.625 mills (33.84 mills). This year's commercial mill 'rates with last year's in brackets are: general township, 32.063 mills (14.273 mills); county, 15.67 mills (21.102 mills); board of ed- ucation, 39.206 mills (37.49 mills). Reeve Robert Gibson did not want to release the budget fig- ures although there was no de- cision to this effect at the council meeting. He said that Howick taxpayers would find outwhat they had to pay when they re- ceived their bills in the mail. Originally instructing the clerk not to release the budget, he later changed his riiind since ,the bilis would probably arrive the same time the budget would have been published. The reeve said he did not want to disclose the figures so as to avoid interfering with the upcoming June 17 liquor vote. Referring to publishing. the budget in the press, Reeve Gib- son said, "When we give it to you, God knows what you'll put in. We'll put in the paper what we think is best for the township. "knybody who asks me, I say the taxes will be up," he said. But Clerk Haskins released the budget figures, which did indeed indicate a rise in taxes. The clerk Said, "We had a lot more expenses. It's partly due to inflation and a little bit of every- thing incluiling substantial fire costs."
