Don Dodds, a member of tkie hunting party, posed with the big' fellow before it was turned into venison., Restraint is the theme of economic statement In his promised economic statement, federal Finance 'Minister Michael Wilson last week outlined the Con" servative government's program for change and renewal. Mr. Wilson said the government's first priority is to reduce the deficit, noting that without this reduction the federal deficit would rise to $38 billion -next year and the burden' of debt per Canadian family would amount to $54,000 a year by 1990. To reduce the deficit, the minister announced major cuts in government spending which he said will result in a saving of $4.2 billion. Although the statement was one of restraint, there were some encouraging signs from the government in the area of taxation, agriculture and job creation. Murray Cardiff, MP for Huron -Bruce, said he is pleased to note the issues of agri-bonds, taxation of part- time farmers and taxation of capital gains on farm land will be referred to the agriculture committee. Farmers also will be eligible for a tax rebate of three cents per litre on fuel. The spouses' allowance will be extended for all widows and widowers aged 60 to 65 and veterans' pen- sions will be improved. The government also committed itself to spending $1.2 billion in creating long- term jobs in the private sector. In a symbolic gesture, the prime minister and his cabinet ministers agreed to a reduction in their salaries and promised a complete' Comput€.r project will advise farmers review of Parliamentary expenditures and the MPs' pension plan. Mr. Cardiff said the process of reducing the deficit ,has just begun, but this is the first step in restoring business and consumer confidence, in Canada and bringing about an economic renewal.

Mr. Carroll was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Huron Family and Children Serv- ices. He said agencies in health, community and social serv- ices and education are working together for the general welfare of the child rather than dealing with in- dividual aspects of be- haviour.
