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. Another important area of con- Fordwich Personals Sam Robinson of Kitchener spent a few days last week with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Robinson. Mr. and Mrs. Scott Clarkson visited over the weekend with relatives at Maple. Mr. and Mrs. Ron McClement, Sandra and Tommy visited with Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Johnston in Sarnia over the weekend.

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.
