BY MURRAY GAUNT; MPP HURON -BRUCE ' ReDorffr�rn.;, Sw reforms of polio g financin i .Ontario have beii proposed in a report to the Legis- lature: The third report of the Camp Commission is significant because the government is com- mitted;to enact into law sections requiring full disclosure of con- tributions to political parties. No limits are proposed on the amount of money parties, -or candidates, may spend in an election. The report would set limits on amounts corporations, unions, and individuals may con- tribute, and it would also es- tablish tax credits. Every contribution of more than $10 would have to be re- corded. If the contribution was $100 or more the amount and source would also have to be dis- closed. As an incentive to modest campaigns, the Camp Com- mission proposed a formula '72 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BR OUGHAM Formal sedan, You will rids in the lap of luxury In this powerful 133 Inch wheslbas. machin..

It . also recom• - mended that the length of elec- tion campaigns be reduced from 37 to 30 days. 0-0-0 Ontario is keeping "a very close 'eye" on the distressing economic situation in the United States, but Premier Witham Davis does not want to speculate 'on the prospects of widespread layoffs or recession in this pro- vince. 0-0-0 Mr. Davis said the Govern- ment, for social as well as econ- omic reasons,- wants to proceed with an accelerated housing pro- gram, but it also wants to con- tinue its constraint on most of its capital spending programs to help counter inflation. It cost Ontario taxpayers more than four times the usual govern- ment termination pay rate to part company with its former agent - general in the United Kingdom, Allan Rowan -Legg, according to Provincial Auditor Norman Scott. Mr. Scott told the Public Ac- counts Committee that the $35;000 paid to Mr. Rowan=Legg "in con- sideration of hisloss of office"` would have been about 57,000 if Mr. Rowan -Legg had been a civil servant earning $28,000 a year rather than an employee under contract to the government at that salary. Mr. Rowan-Legg's services were terminated in March of 1972 by Ontario Treasurer, the Honor- able John White, whose cam- paign manager, Ward Cornell, was then appointed to the post. Committee Members felt the Government should define clear- ly on what terms the person hired may be removed from the job. Members recalled similar government settlements for ter- mination of services on behalf of Bruce Legge, former chairman of the Workmen's Compensation Board ($42,000) Jack Culey, vice - chairman of the same board ($62,000) and Ken Passmore, managing director of Star Trans- fer Limited who was paid $25,000 by the Ontario Northland Trans- portation Commission, a govern- ment body, "for doing nothing", in the words of the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee. Concern for animals means new If you are concerned about animals, if you want to know how to train a pup, whether distemper can affect humans or what para- sites can be attracted to your cattle, you will without a doubt, become a regular reader of "On Four Feet" by Susan Philips, which starts this week in your Crossroads section. Susan's concern for animals has led her to the doors of the On- tario Veterinary College in Guel- ph, where she hopes to obtain a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in three years. Her con- cern for her 3 -year-old English Setter, which contracted heart- worms this summer, prompted her to try a column about com mon pet and livestock diseases and the care and handling of such animals. Her fist column deals with the symptoms of heartworm and in subsequent columns, which will appear every second week, she will look at any item of interest in the animal kingdom. Susan plans to consult with local veterinarians to find out how widespread diseases or problems she talks about really are. "Whenever I can do so, I will also tell the reader how much he should expect to pay to have treatments or preventive medi- column cine for the problem in question," she says. Readers who have specific questions they want answered may write to Susan in care of the Mount Forest Confederate and their queries may form the nucleus of "On Four Feet" in a future column.
