Five persons will be em- ployed on a Huron County Beautification Program• through $15,300• in LIP fun-. ding. Another three will be employed -through the Huron , County Central Volunteer Bureau as the result. of $12,240. That project will operate from Goderidh Township.

No consultation with SS teachers Education' •Minister• Thomas atelia 'did not consult with teacher or . principal groups `before_,'°freclaiming Ministry control • over curriculum, • • Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Principals' Association. members were told last week, ' Mr. David Rehkopf, -past president of the Ontario Principals' -'Association, said that he vias annoyed at' Mr: Well's decision to return to a standard curriculum. The speaker suggested that the motive of the Education Minister was political. "Educators had been 'told 'to go and plan their own curriculum; the Ministry would have nothing to do with it: After •having trained ourselves and beginning our own curriculums ... all of a sudden,, the Ministry comes, along and says 'You're, doing a lousy job, we'll `.take over' ". Mr. Rehkopf told the• Huron -Perth principals that the • Ontario • Principals'. Association could become the representative body for Ontario principals. Admitting. that the present membership is small, he noted thatthere had been a dramatic climb in numbers since the passage of Bill 100, whichdenied the right-to-striketo principals: "We must wake up our own people. We must act,rather than react", Mr. Rehkopf told the principals. He suggested that principals, as a group, must solve their ' identity crisis and decide whether they were shop foremen. or - middle management. ' Jack's Jottingc The Government's budget statement made by Treasurer Darcy' McKeough is a virtual admission. that the Province • . faces serious economic.. problems. The treasurer took one hour to announce only one tax change . despite ,the fact . all the in- dicator's but one show Ontario is lagging behindthe rest of Canada. The •single tax change involves the tax exemption on , machinery which the Liberal Opposition Meme but not without 'surprise the change received very vocal objections by the N.D.P. . The Government will ex- tend for an indefinite period the- exemption of the seven Percent sales tax on production machinery . and equipment bought -by private industry, and will extend the exemption to include equipment for ' pollution control or: theremoval--of waste ;and noxious fumes. This continued salestax exemption will cost $10 millioninthe last quarter of - the current fiscal year, and an estimated $160 million in 1977-78. The Government's Objective . is to attract job creating capital to the provi'iice, and to maintain the competitive footing of the Province and Ontario firms in bidding for investment and business .against our prin- cipal rivals, including the province of Quebec and the states of, New York, Min- nesota ' and . Pennsylvania. Evenwitt ,the extension of; the sales tax 'exemption beyond the original December 31st cut-off date, . the provincial sales tax burden on "a new plant opening in Ontario still would be more than twice the sales taxes levied in Michigan and Ohio. - The Liberal comments on th Treasufdr's statement. indicated that the Govern- ment should have launched a major home construction program. We lack affordable housing in. this Province. There is high unemployment in the home construction industry. This is a major area where action was needed so that Ontario doesn't continue to lag behind the rest of the country in affordable home construction. • At the • same time; the Treasurer also tabled tained showed that the federal .government's anti inflation program has been a success In Ontario during its. first year of operation. - ing debate on Cite family law reform legislation, the Attorney General stressed that caution was necessary with respect to giving courts too much power over marriage contracts, because if courts could override provisions of marriage contracts', the result would . be that the courts instead of the parties involved would be writing the contracts. ' Some opposition members suggested modifying a section of the act to allow' a court to alter support' obligations of a contract. The Attorney General said he would con- sider such an amendment. Now that'it has passed second reading, the legislation will go to committee for detailed examination before going back to the Legislature for. third and final readingin the spring. Also this week, the Attorney General stated that he is convening 'a meeting of regional Crown Attorneys to instruct them in the matter of court authorizations, which should not be released. Albert Roy, Liberal MPP for Ottawa East had produced a copy of an authorization to wire tap, Province in trouble? to demonstrate_ that the - Government had gone against established practice in not releasing the authorization in the case of the wiretap carried out on a Conversation between Donald Turner and his lawyer. The Provincial government will subsidize its two ski jumps at Thunder Bay for anoth,r season, according to the Minister of Industry and Tourism. He said a loan -.of about $100,000 from the rovmc . s ' s rthern -Ontario Development 'Corporation will be given to, Thunder Bay Ski Jumps' Ltd. (the development corporation owns all theshares in the company).Pressed by Stuart Smith, —Liberal Leader, to table the lease agreement, the Minister said he would consider doing so - the lease . covers the use of the land around the base of the jumps. He said the financing for this winter will give operators the backing to get sponsors for events. . Premier Davis has an-•, nounced that the Government is inviting advice on the economy from labour, business, consumer, farm and social service groups at a public conference to be held in February. Opposition - Members were cynical about this announcement, which they called a pre-election political move, commenting that it was not at all sur- prising that the meetingwill be open to .the press. "That's why you're having it, isn't it?" said former Liberal Leader Robert Nixon, and Pat Reid (Rainy River MPP) commented "There must be an election coming -up." The two day conference on February 10th and Ilth will be under the name Part- nership for Prosperity, and the Premier told the Legislature he wants "a broad spectrum of advice" on the direction of the economy after federal wage and price controls expire: A . former . Conse'rvative researcher and defeated candidate has been hired by. the Ontario Government at $150' a day - as Chairman of a Committee of Govern- ment officials which will study problems of con- dominium owners. The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations has announced the appointment of this man, Darwin..ltealey, and other members of the Committee, and the group will hold public: ' hearings throughout -the Province and is planning a conference to hear the public early next year. Evelyn Gigantes (NDP - Carleton East) attacked the appointment of Mr: Kealy as patronage, saying he has set up a riding office in the Ottawa suburban 'ridingand has mailed literature to voters, although .he has not been nominated yet .to run again -for the Conservatives. The group will recommend changes in legislation governing condominiums in time for action by the Legislature in the spring session. Liberal Pat Reid criticized the Solicitor General for doing nothing while organized crime escalated in Ontario, and called for 'an •inquiry saying the inquiry. in Quebec into' ',organized crime had exposed some of the ringleaders. He .pointed . out. that it is generally' agreed that publicity is one of the most effective weapons - in. dealing with this problem. lldwever, the Minister maintained that organized crime, while a serious problem, high on the list of police priorities, dies, nor warrant a public inquiry,
