Elston The Government has an- nounced that GAINS che- ques will be delivered direct- ly to senior citizens if the current postal strike goes beyond the 15th of July. At the same time, vendors and corporations may make their payments of taxes to the Government through their local chartered banks. - Those who file under Ontarib tax legislation may drop off their returns and payments at any Retail Sales Tax, Regional Assessment Office or Province of Ontario Sav- ings Office for delivery to Toronto for processing. Urea Fermaldehyde The Ministry of Health have released contact infor- ma on for people who wish to 14 ve their homes tested le • the recently announc- ed program. In Bruce Coun- ty residents should contact the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. L. C. Vicente at the Bruce County Health Unit, County Building, Box 248, Walkerton - 881-1920. In Huron County, contact Dr. H. R. Cieslar, Acting Medical Officer of Health, Huron County Health Unit, Court House, Goderich - 524- 8301. Power Corporation Act Amendment Bill 86, which amended the Act, has received Royal As- sent and Ontario Hydro is now able to produce and sell steam energy to the Ontario • public. The way is now clear to proceed with the Bruce II Energy Park, since the amendment clears up one of the difficulties faced by On- tariellydro. The portion of the bill dealing with steam received support from all sides of the House. Municipal affairs Bill 121, which will allow municipalities to increase in- terest rates on unpaid taxes was passed quickly despite Suggestions by Housing Minister Claude Bennett that the Opposition Liberals were holding it up. The Bill was quickly passed once it was finally placed on the daily, order paper, and was sup- ported by all parties. Hospitals Bill 113 introduced by Den- nis Timbrell, the Minister of Health, which is designed to give the Government broad sweeping powers to step in and virtually take over any hospital it wants, has been met by strong opposition. Originally introduced by the Minister to deal, he said, with the Toronto East General Hospital matter, the bill has general application to all hospitals in Ontario, not just Toronto East General. The Opposition has agreed to pass legislation to deal specifically with the Toronto East General situation if the Minister wants, but the Op- position has demanded that the Minister not use the Toronto situation to put legislation in place that would allow Government take over of any hospital which, in the Government's opinion, was not performing ' properly. Conceivably, the legisla- tion could be used in the cases like the ones which arose at Wingham, Clinton, Seaforth and elsewhere, when local Board people reacted unfavorably to the iviinistry bed eiustu-e an- nouncements. This legisla- tion cannot be supported if one wants to protect the rights of local people to govern their local in- stitutions. Even the proposed amend- ments to be sponsored by Minister Timbrell have not gone far enough to alleviate concerns. Censorship The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations has announced censorship changes which are to be ef- fective August lst. Under the new provincial film classification categories, children 14 years of age and over will be permitted to see some movies which were previously restricted to peo- ple 18 and over. A new "adult accompaniment" category is to be created, under which children 14 years old and over can see certain movies without being accompanied by an adult, but those under 14 must be accompanied by someone over 18. The restricted category, under which admittance is limited to those over 18, will remain. Heating tax credit Under the program, tax- payers with taxable incomes of less than $6,000 a year will be eligible next spring for tax credits of up to $60 and pensioners will receive a flat $60 grant to help with higher home heating costs. Advisory boards It may well be that about 80 provincial advisory agen- cies, such as the Ontario Economic Council, could YOU'U te soon be abolished under a new "sunset" review policy. The Government's Agencies Review Committee listed in its report some 79 agencies which could be scrapped over a three-year period beginning in 1982. The object of the sunset review "is to ensure effectiveness and ef- ficiency in the contribution of these bodies to the overall policy and program formula- tion process" according to YOU'LL DO BETTER AT A&P We reserve the right to limit quantities to normal family requirements! • Prices effective thru Saturday, July 11th, 1981 the report. While all agen- cies will be reviewed, only those "which are no longer needed" will be abolished. – The minister responsible for a particular agency will be required to review its functions at least once every five years to determine if it should be .abolished, then --take his decision to cabinet for approval. In addition, a sunset clause will be includ- ed in any legislation or order -in -council creating a new advisory agency. Most government advisory agen- cies meet only sporadically, paying their members on a per -diem basis. But a few have full-time salaried staff. YOU'LL DO BETTER AT A&P The Ontario Economic Council, the Ontario Status of Women Council, and the Advisory Committee on Con- federation, could be phased out next year, the report sug- gests. 1111111111111111111111111111.111111111111111111111111 SAVE 20?
