Since World War II, we have been living in the "Chemical Age", and many people cannot adjust to the use of synthetics in clothing, perfumes and sprays in household effects and additives, preservatives and colorings in food. A great deal of discomfort and illness has been caused by these factors in our society, she said. The air pollution caused by chemical sprays on fields and the burning of leaves and garbage also causes damage in certain areas. Ron Fleming from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Clinton, spoke on pollution from agricul- tural standpoint. He mentioned road salt as a real pollutant, causing field crops and trees near highways to dry up and die., He cautioned ,farmers not to use too much fertilizer, as the excess run-off into streams does kill fish. He listed several ideas to which farmers might well pay strict attention: Make sure weather is calm when spraying; limit aerial spraying; minimize burning; Minimize run-off from feedlots; never wash sprayer in streams or creeks; do not spread manure on frozen soil.. He said: "Each one of us breathes in about 35 lbs. of air during the day, so it should be pure." He said, also, that each individual should become aware of the problems and then do something about them. Both speakers were very con- cerned about pollution, as it is a subject everyone should be con- cerned about and do something about. Mrs. Leondard James presided for this meeting, held on Tues- day, October 18, and welcomed everyone. She also gave a report of London Area Convention held at Vanastra, September 28 and 29.

BY MURRAY GAUNT, MPP (HURON -BRUCE) Report from Queen's Park The fall session of the Ontario legislature opened on the 17th of October, with the installation of Jack Stokes, MPP --(La ipi- gon) as Speaker. Premier Davis called for a full-scale federal -provincial con- ference on economic recovery, and disclosed the latest bad news on the provincial economy. Ontario's projected cash deficit has worsened during the past month and is now $1.45 billion for the current fiscal year — an increase of $375 million or 34 per cent since the April budget. The governnlent's program for the fall' session includes: a bill allowing municipalities to limit removal of topsoil from good farmland; reforms of family law, including provisions for support and sharing of assetsupon mar- riage breakdown; regulations of body -rub parlors; comprehen- sive occupational health and safety legislation; postponement for ,yet another year of the controversial ' province -wide property re -assessment; and possible introduction of a bill to prevept.bntario companies from refusing to deal with Jewish companies in order to comply' with an Arab boycott. Opposition parties have made it clear that central issues for them will be the economy, particularly job creation, and Ontario Hydro's nuclear genera- tion program. Liberal Leader Stuart Snaith 'called for a new budgetary statement in the light of', the latest progress report . which shows the government's earlier predictions to have been "disastrously wrong". He has also charged that the government helped to create present eco- nomic problems by its irrespon- sible spending, that it now seems paralyzed and unable to effect the necessary cures, and he has suggested a four -point program to cope with, the . situation, including,an industry -by -industry review of the strengths, weak- nesses and potential growth, combined with ,stimulation of labor intensive small business. A bill introduced by John Eakins, MPP (Victorian-Hali- burton) guaranteeing small busi- nesses 40 per cent of all pro- vincial government contracts for goods; services and property, was approvedin principle by the Legislature last week. The unusual second -stage approval for an opposition member's bill means that. it will advance to Corrie.

Mr. and Mrs. Carman Hamil- ton, Jennifer and Derek of Lon- don spent the weekend with Mr'. and Mrs. Hector Hamilton.

Plans for a program to make available up to $100 -million in low interest loans for home insulation .and weather proofing have been abandoned by, the. Ontario gov- ernment. In this connection; Liberal Energy Critic Julian Reed teas accused the govern- ment of flying directly in the face of its . .own financial restraint policies by scrapping the pro- gram, "because there is .conclus- ive proof that it is infinitely cheaper to lend moneyfor home insulation than to capitalize new generating '.capacity to meet excessive demands. A number of . U.S. utilities have themselves' made loans to customers 'for home insulation 'because this is more profitable than building additional generators. I asked the Minister of Colleges and Universities if he would set up a meeting 'between the Ministry, Ontario Hydro and ' 1 Canada Manpower to see if a crash program can be ' im- plemented to train chemical 'operators for the nuclear pro- gram, rather than bring trained people into the country from overseas. While at the same time • we are suffering such high unemployment, particularly among young people, It would be appropriate to train our own citizens here in the province for these technical jobs. The min- ister indicated he would set up such a meeting, although he had some doubts about the possibility of a crash course. He would, however, pursue the matter., Manufacturers of CONCRETE and CLAY DRAINAGE TILE Sizes from 3" through to 24" 4" Tile at '195" per M. immediate delivery to job site - Tile delivered on pallets - SEAFORTH TILE P.
