plemental shelter allowances.
People on fixed incomes,
pensions, disability allowances
and welfere, have had their
incomes so eroded by rising'
prices that even doubling their
present 'income .will barely
permit them to live suitably,
said the brief.
" Zqual pay for work of equal
value" was also called for by
the,Federation's brief, and this
should be legislated and en-
forced. The vast majority of the
1,300,000 working women in
Ontari9 . are "subsidizing the
economy with their underpaid
labour", the Federation stated.
"Last year women lost close to
$1 billion in income
discrepancies" - a staggering
figure. '
Mr. James Breithaupt,
Liberal Member for Kitchener,
questioned the 'Minister. of
Education on the matter of
pensions for retired teachers.
He asked whether any changes
will be made to the benefits
received by those teachers who
retired some.years ago to catcb
up with, the cost of living. Mr.
Wells., the Minister of
Graduate
Kathleen O'Brien, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph O'Brien,
Bayfield Road, Goderich,
received her degree of
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
on May 24, at the , Convocation
of the University of Windsor.
Kathleen attended school at St.
Mary's Separate School and
Goderich District Collegiate
Institute, and will be doing
Public Health Nursing in the
Kitchener area. (photo ' . by

Education replied that for the
past number of months there
Elas been a committee meeting
with the Ontario 'Teachers'
Federation working on this
problem.. They have come to
some conclusions which are
now being studied and there
will be some determination on
them very shortly.
For the past 10 years Liberal
Member for Downsview, Vern
Singer has proposed a Private
Members Bill., Establishment
of the position of Provincial
Ombudsman. Premier Davis
'announced this week the
Government's intention to
establish such a position,
Ombudsman for Ontario. The
Premier said that as society
and •government increase in
complexity, it became ap-
parent that a number of
complaints with regard to
administrative matters are not
within the ambit of the earlier
legislation. Therefore, to en-
sure the rights of the individual
in this area, the office .of
Ombudsman will be a
necessary additional tool to the
already extensive programme
for the protection of civil rights
which exists under the law of
this province. As proposed by
the -Government, as in all other
parliamentary systems, the
Ombudsman will not have
supervisory power over the
administration of justice. The
principal role of Ontario's
Ombudsman will' be to in-
vestigate decisions, recom-
mendations and acts com-
mitted or omitted in the ad-
ministration of the work of the.
Ontario Government. This he
maydo either in response to
complaints from an individual
or organization, or on his own
initiative. He will recommend
appropriate : action to meet
each situation and advise the
complainant of the*. recom-
mendations. He will .also be
required to make an annual
report to the Speaker of - the
Legislative Assembly.
For, Ontario's first
Ombudsman, the Government
is proposing Mr. Arthur
Maloney, Q.C.
Mr. Davis said that Mr.
Maloney, who was born in
Eganville, Ontario, is from a
family renowed for its con-
,tribution to the political life of
Strong effort. fails
Canada and Ontario. His father
was a 'federal member of
parliament, his brother and
grandfather were both
members of the Ontario
Legislature. From 1957 to 1962
Mr. Maloney served as a
member of the Parliament of
Canada, . from the Toronto-
Parkdale riding. He has been
elected five times as a Bencher
of the Law Society of Upper
Canada and is Chairman of the
Society's Profession 'Conduct*
Committee. He is also a former
'director of the Harold King
Foundation. He served on the r
advisory committee on the
treatment of offenders to the
Provincial "Minister of
Correctional Services, and was
a member of the Province's
Task Force on .. policing two
years ago. In recent months ,
Mr. Maloney, undertook a.
review of police complaint
procedures for the
Metropolitan Toronto Police
Commission. The report was
published last week.
Mr. Maloney was a guest in
the Gallery when Premier
Davis made the announcement
in the Legislature.
