Bill C-72- is presently , before the Parliament of Canada, and Mr. McMurtry suggested that the Bill be amended to in- c1e.taped hate messages to. the' list of discriminatory practices in Part I of the Bill. He also suggested that the proposed Canadian Human Rights Commission be given over-riding authority upon ex parte application by any person, to order Bell Canada or any similar utility 'in Canada, to cut off service forthwith to any number offering a taped hate Message. He said experience, has shown in recent years that existing laws, including the hate propaganda sections added to the criminal, code, are ineffective, and- because of the loopholes and ex- _ ceptions a cone etion is almost impossible to achieve.' Mr, McMurtry asked for the support of all members of the House toinfluence the ,Federal Parliament with regard to the proposals to put a stop to these repugnant activities. . Robert Nixon, Leader, of the Liberal PFW, asked the minister of education, Thomas Wells, to clarify the present situation with • the secondary . School. teachers and the extent to which they come directly under the jurisdiction of the people who are applying the price and wage control • legislation federally. He wanted to know whether there has been any indication from •Ottawa that AUTHORIZED SALES & SERVICE Vacuum Cleaners + Washer•5pin Dryers + Po.rtable Dryers • available on easy terms HUTCHINSON APPLIANCES TRADE INS ACCEPTED 308 HURON RD. • 524-7831 there will be a partial exemption because of the dating of the previous agreement, and "whether we art' to accept, at face.value, statements that have been reported and allegedly made h` the minister of finance, that this particular situation falls directly under the regulations and that; in fact, no wage settlement more than 12 percent will be per- mitted." Mr, Wells replied that he clarified this to both sides of the dispute, in a meeting -he had with them. Mr. Wells said that in this particular"dispute the guidelines apply to the secondary school teachers, and this was agreed to by both parties. However, there are sections in the guidelines which 'indicate that, perhaps, special ,consideration might he given, One of these sections in- dicate that "Special con- sideration will be given for those signing a contract, or negotiating a new contract for one that was signed prior to 1974". The other section concerns historical" relationships and no one has given any explanation to it as yet. Under both these sec- tion% a,case can be put to the Anti -Inflation Board. Mr. Wells said that procedures as outlined by Ottawa have been outlined to the parties in this dispute, that they should get a settlement, and when they have a'settlement they'shc ld present their settlement to the Anti -Inflation Board and" - seek clarification. The Board will not hear or see them until they have a settlement. Mr. Nixon then -asked, the minister if he could - use his good offices to allow the people from Ottawa to sit down with the negotiating "ides here in Toronto. He said f the situation has to take its egular, course, the lassrooms are going to be losed for a long period of ime. The minister of energy, Dennis Timbrell, said during a committee debate that the Ontario, Government will be orced to allocate supplies of atural gas ainong istributors within five years.

President Scott Wilson ably planned and conducted this meeting. Following opening exercises and• current business the group was divided into groups' for the workshop. As the Club has expanded, members have been divided, into four groups, each group named . after. ,one. of the four seasons and the children named after a popular flower of that season; i.e. Winter, poinsettas; Spring, daffodils; Summer, roses; and Autumn, chrysanthemums, n Five very capable and willing young mothers are now assisting Mrs. Barnett. They are Mrs. Carol. Wilson, Mrs. Agnes Jansen, Mrs. Barb Moulton, ,Mrs. Mary Walton and Mrs. Genny Madden. • With assistance from Mrs. Bedard and their respective adult assistants, the children each fashioned ar beautiful corsage which they then ,boxed,..including a Christmas greeting with their own nant signed. These corsages are to be presented' to Senior Citizens by the children when they visit Maitland Manor and sing Christmas Carols prior to their Christmas party in December., Instead of exchanging gifts the children voted unanimougly to present these gift's which they have made. themselves and the cost of which they also willingly voted to share. O.n Saturday morning followingthis meeting Mrs. Barnett delivered the rose bushes to the winners of the club whose summer gardens merited this award, She was delighted to find that 12 of the 14 winners were out in the garden bright and early with their ground all prepared for the planting. The necessary . planting mixture was provided by the club and it was rewarding to find that most parents were also on hand to assist with the planting. Perhaps this is the beginning of a Junior Rose Society. It is hoped that other Juniors may receive his or her own rose bushes through projects planned over the winter months. It is an- ticipated that next June's Flower Show may sponsor a class for Junior rosarians. L IN'S TV YOUR HEAD QUARTERS FOR •ROGERS MAJESTIC. TV :EXPERT TV.
