The Third Session of the 80th
Ontario Parliament commenced
last week with something lean
than the usual pomp and cere-
mony. Even that has fallen under
the axe of the government's re-
straint program.
The Throne Speech was a short
one, but it did announce the inten-
tions of the Government in sev-
eral areas. A voluntary farm, in-
come stabilization program to
supplement the federal nl-n will
be introduced by the Mi.aister of
Agriculture and Food. This pro-
gram has been endorsed and pro-
moted by the Federation of Agri-
culture and is sure to be of inter-
est to the farming community.
A stricter meat inspection,
which has been prompted by the
Quebec meat scandals, will also
be part of the government's legis-
lative program.

siderable interest is the fact that
after many years of oonsultation
the Province is now going to w-
troduce a warranty plan on new
homes to protect buyers against
poor workmanship.
Other areas mentioned in the
Throne Speech are as follows:
1. The formation of an all -
party Select Committee of the
1—i• ature to study highway
safety, driver education and ac-
cident prevention.
2. The hiring of more judges to
alleviate the backlog in the courts
and changes in estate laws to give
property rights to common law
wives as well as giving blind per-
sons the right to take seeing eye
dogs into restaurants and public
places.
An interesting sidelight to this
year's Throne Speech is the fad
that the Provincial Government
has abandoned its election prom-
ise of tax credits to lower high
mortgage interest rates. The sug-
gestion originally was made by
Premier Davis du" last Sept-
ember's election campaign.
Under the proposal the govern-
ment would have given a tax
credit allowance of up to $500 a
year to reduce interest charges
on residential mortgages to loV4
per cent. The Government has
apparently decided to abandon
this plan in view of the current
restraint program, and has opted
instead for the home warranty
plan.
There is an attempt being
made by many people in the Grey
and Bruce Area to persuade the
Government of Ontario to bring
educational TV to our part of the
province. This is certainly a very
worthwhile objective, and if you
agree with this I would suggest
that you write to the Honorable
Robert Welch, Minister of Cul-
ture and Recreation, and to Mr.
T. D. Ide, Chairman of the Board,
Ontario Educational Communi-
cations Authority.
Minister invites
younpfarmers'
agricultural ideas
Agriculture Minister Eugene
Whelan urges farmers to apply
now if they have money coming
to them from the government's
cow slaughter or beef stabiliza-
tion programs.
"I am concerned that some
producers who are eligible for
payments have not yet made
claims to the Agricultural
Stabilization Board," Mr. Whelan
said.
"I am extending the deadline
for claims under the two stabil-
ization programs to April 30, 1976,
and I urge eligible producers to
get their claims in so they may be
considered for payment."
The cow slaughter stabilization
program was in effect from
November 16, 1974, to April 30,
1975. Producers who sold cows
during that period can claim a
payment of $5.08 per hundred-
weight (liveweight), on up to five
per cent of their herd.
The beef stabilization program
for the year August 12, 1974, to
August 11, 1975, offers a payment
of 48 cents a hundredweight (live -
weight) for all A, B and C quality
cattle sold for slaughter during
that time.
Claim forms for both programs
are available from packing
plants, public stockyards, sales
barns, agricultural representa-
tives and staff of Agriculture
Canada's Livestock Division
across the country.
