.013ii- 'Wells has
a bin in the
which he hopes
t municipalities to
boundary and
„Myth:Illrelated issues.
114 stated that in response
to requests from urban and
rural municipalities, the
government, in 1979, "
presented a proposal for a
new process modelled on
labor-management nego-
tiating techniques. The pro-
cess was tested, then in the
springof this year a compre-
hensive agreement was
reached, representing a
mutually agreed -to
legislated conclusion to
years off discussions and
controversy.
The legislation would
authorize a municipality
wanting to resolve an inter-
municipal boundary or
boundary -related issue to
apply to the minister of in-
tergovernmental affairs
rather than to the municipal
board. A fact -finder would be
appointed to look into the
application and, if
necessary, direct face-to-
face negotiations between
the municipalities would
follow.
The bill would amend the
Municipal Act so as to limit
annexation and amalgama-
tion applications to the OMB
tO • these involving unorgan-
lied territat7and. those
atAtoriged. following Pre'
ceeda under this new legisla-
tion. .
The minister is hopeful
that the necessary legal and
administrative framework
will be in place by early in
the new year.
Energy Minister Robert
Welch has announced a
reduction of the cost of
electricity to year-round and
•farm residential customers,
effective Jan. 1,1981.
This \ zeduttion is, made
, • possible by the special grant
program announced by the
treasurer last week.
_At will r_ethic_e the dif,
ferehtial by about 30 per cent
from Queen's Park
between the retail rate, or
electricity paid by rural
residents relative tothat
paid by • the average
municipal retaileustoraer.
'The special grant 'Will
apply to all rural reakleOtial
customers, including farm -
class customers having a
„residence on the Ontario
,Hydro retail system, but
does not cover intermittent
occupancy customers, such
as cottagers or chalet
owners, and commercial and
industrial customers.
Ontario's 175,000 welfare
recipients will receive a
seven per cent increase in
their monthly cheques in the
new year. Thit is an interim
adjustment to compensate
for inflation effects, ac-
cording to Keith Norton,
minister of community and
social services, and not the
basic rate of adjustment for
.the 1981-82 fiscal year.
The Ontario Legislature's.
Justice Committee was
given Consumer and
Commercial Relations
Minister Frank Drea notice
to produce documents
relating to the tangled af-
fairs of three financial
companies.
Mr. Drea has argued in the
Legislature that he cannot
comply with the request for
government files on ReMor
Investment Management
Corp., C and M Financial
Consultants Ltd., and Astra
Trust Company because of
an opinion he has received
from the ministry of at-
torney -general that the
matter is sub judice.
According to the motion, if
Mr. Drea refuses, the
committee will report to the
House with a request that the
speaker •subpeona the
documents.
A sweeping overhaul of the
Ontario Workmen's Corn-
pensation system that would
give more money to workers
whose disability leads in
income losses and less to
injured workers able to
Taintclin,,earntnnsi'M been
pcommended in a report by
Harvard Professor Paul
Weiler.
The interim report, tabled
in the Legislature by Labor
Minister Robert Elgie, would
protect all the earnings of 99'
per cent of the province's
workers.
Under the current system,
injured workers are' paid 75
per cent of their previous
gross earnings, up to $18,500
a year. The maximum
weekly benefit is now
66.83.
The report recommends
that the ceiling for claims be
raised to 250 per cent of the
average industrial wage,
bringing the ceiling to a
possible $40,000 a year.
The benefits • would be
based on 90 per cent of a
worker's previous net
earnings and would be in-
dexed.
The report also , proposes
that injured workers should
have their own fringe
benefits maintained by the
employer.
Dr. Elgie said he will seek
comments on the report and
then make his recom-
mendations to Cabinet.
Culture and Recreation
Minister Reuben Baetz has
announced plans to extend
TV Ontario' service to the
Grey -Bruce area. He said
that if all licensing and
technical requirements are
fulfilled on schedule, TV
Ontario would be available
on a regular VHF channel in
approximately 14 months.
The new service will reach
132,000 people living in Owen
Sound, Wingham, Palmer-
ston, Mount Forest, Flesher -
ton, Thornbury, Lion's Head,
Kincardine, Lucknow, South-
ampton, Port Elgin, Han-
over; Wiarton and Meaford.
Construction of the Grey -
Bruce transmitter, which
will cost around $1,150,000,
will start early in the new
year. Operating costs will be
$80,000 a year.
Happy Gang
holds 'meeting
A regular meeting of the
Wingham Happy Gang
senior citizens was held Nov.
18.
Following opening exer-
cises, the president reported

pondence. One of great in-
terest to seniors in Ontario is

There also was a letter
issued to all clubs in Zone
•by the ministry of health I
recreation, pointing out
some of the advantages of
belonging to separate zones.
Zone 33 encompasses eight
clubs.
There is one regular
meeting remaining this
year, and it was decided to
hold it Dec. 12 starting with a
pot luck luncheon at 12:30
p.m. The group also decided
to move its regular meetings
to the second Friday after-
noon of each month.
The executive met Nov. 10
and spent most of its time
trying to put together a core
executive for next year.
Needed are a president, vice
president, secretary and
treasurer. At the regular
meeting there were volun-
teers for the secretary and
treasurer posts, but two vital
offices still are open. Nearly
all the committees are set.
The group was entertained
by excellent readings by
Verna Bone and Ethel
Holmes, as well as a couple
of songs, one of them self- -
composed, -from Borden
Jenkins. A group sing -song
and friendly game of bingo
ensued, and a nice lunch was
enjoyed before all departed
home.
