brought to the board's attention by
parents and other groups. A group of
parents and teachers in Goderich, who
last year formed the Goderich Home and
School Association asked the board to
make changes so that some teachers,
and in most cases older ones, who felt
uncomfortable teaching the course,
could be replaced for that course by suclr
personnel as public health nurses.
Cochrane also said that the Goderich
and Area Pro -Life group met with the
board's education committee•last month
to raise objections to certain areas of the
course as well as some of the films and
resource materials used to teach it.
Cochrane will attempt to justify a use of
certain aspects in the course and
eliminate some if necessary. His
recommendations willl!,e presented to
the board at the September meeting.
The main• concern of the Pro -Life
group was that the health course was
taught from a scientific point of view and
did not attempt to discuss the morality of
sex. • Board member Clarence
MacDonald said that the guidelines
would . maintain course consistency in
the schools.
Board member Eugene Frayne
claimed the board could operate an
option in the health program giving the
parents the opportunity to choose if the
students were to study the scientific
approach or a course that emphasized
the Judeo Christian morality.
Cochrane agreed that it might be a
suitable approach to the problem but
could not be sure that it was practical for
the Huron board to set up. It would
require more teachers and could pose
timetable problems for both students
,r'
and teachers.
Frayne' said that the option idea,
which he read about in Canadian
Magazine, would solve the problem of
including,; moral teaching without ac-
tually changing the content of the
course.
"It's not so much what is being taught
as how it is being taught," he said.
Board ,'members agreed that the
question of morality varies with every
person and there was likely to be some
disagreement among parents when

PROVINCIAL
Traditionally, a defeat on a budgetary
tax measure could be taken as a vote of
non -confidence and considered grounds
for an' election. But considering such
defeats in the wake of the Premier's $20
million majority seeking election it
would understandibly . take a more
substantial issue for an election.
Another election is realistically out of
the question for two or three years at
best but such defeats as the tax bill will
set parliamentary procedure for the
term in which the Conservatives will
simply have to ride out several defeats.

government will just have to adjust to
these defeats in the Legislature and
offset defeats by introducing motions of
confidence.
Lewis said that his party =is deter-
mined to make minority government

prevented from moving amendments or
voting against them as the case may be.
He believes that the Conservatives will
be defeated on a number of issues

Liberals and NDP brit nothing really as
serious to warrant a motion of non-
confidence and an election.

Reynolds, 35, spoke to the House on a
question of privilege and said the CBC
documentary was an exercise in un-
truthful character assassination and
was hypocritical and that like any other
member of the House he would not stand
for it.,
He said his dealings with alleged
underworld figure 'Joe Gentile and his
associates were limited to the response a
menthe r of Parliament normally makes
topeople who seek his help and that he
had no way of knowing what their
background was. Reynolds claimed he
was approached by the CBC for an in-
terview about the House subcommittee
•
IN
On penitentiaries of which he was a
member but during the interview the
reporter started asking questions about
Gentile.
He claimed that in the televised
program his answers were rearranged
to convey as damaging an impression as
possible. He took his lawyer to the 'next
meeting, June 9 in a .Toronto hotel to
raise several points that he said
showed the CBC information to be
erroneous and slanted. He also said it
was obvious to the CBC that if the
program included that, information he
would seek an injunction to prevent it
being aired.'
POINTS
The device of a specific confidence
motion following a legislative defeat was
used only once during,the 20 month life of
the previous Conservative minority
government after they were defeated on
their farm income stabilization plan.
The defeat was on a Liberal motion to
send the billback for revision and the
Liberals in turn had to support a vote of
confidence for the Conservatives -to
avoid an election.
In order for Davis to survive it will
now be up to the NDP party and on the
Liberals on occasion to support the
Conservatives on future confidence
SEVEN
Reynolds was assured that the
weekend program would not be aired on
the weekend segment and in fact it
wasn't, it appeared as part of the second
segment Monday evening. He now
claims that the CBC denied him of his
legal rights to challenge their intention
to air the segments slandering_him.
Reynolds had planned to resign from
the House of Commons to take a job with
a, Vancouver radio station and he said
the situation did not alter those plans. He
will probably resign later this summer.
He was also confident there was
nothing incriminating in tapes of con-
versations he had with the man known as

guidelines. Dorothy Wallace said the
board faced the same problems not too
many years ago and the general feeling
then was that someone outside teach the
course. She claimed a teacher felt un-
comfortable teaching .children sex and
then trying to teach the same group the
rest of the day.
Cochrane said he could not see why the
course could not be taught with a hint of
morality but added that it was just a
problem that the education committee
would have to come to grips with. The
board will not meet again until Sep-
tember.
The Liberals favor a deposit on cans to
encourage returns rather than a straight
tax levy. On budget day the NDP party
was prepared to support the bill since
the Conservatives had no alternate plans
for jobless can production workers who
faced the possibility of losing their jobs if
production was cut. Lewis claims that
the tax may not be legitimate under the
circumstances and thinks the two op-
position parties will combine to defeat
the bill.
Such defeats should at least humble
Mr. Davis into effective government.
• public inquiry into ` organized crime.
They were speaking for Ontario police
only andsaid the program revealed no
new information.
Chief Supt. Randolf Schamm of the
RCMP, said provincial police forces
were capable, of dealing with organized
crime in the province through the
judicial system. They only asked for
broader legislation on wiretapping
privileges claiming that several
prosecutions have been dropped because
of the wiretap legislation.
Police officials refused to reveal the
extent of their investigations into
organized crime but said that many of
the investigations were continuing.
