BY MURRAY GAUNT, MPP (HURON -BRUCE) Report from.Queen Attorney -General Roy McMur- try is proposing to raise the minimum age for marriage from 14 to 16. The age needs to be raised, he said, because the main reason for its being so low is to permit marriages as a way to avoid births of illegitimate chil- dren. There are those who are pushing to have the age raised to 18, but the attorney -general feels the age cannot be raised above 16, at which point children have the right to withdraw from the family home. This matter is part of a package on family law currently before the Legislative Committee on Justice, and will become law before Christmas. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith said last week that Ontario is handing over a $10 million public asset to a U.S. controlled company. The government recently is- sued licences to the U.S.-control- led Greyhound Lines of Canada Ltd. for direct routes between Toronto and Sudbury, and Tor- onto and Buffalo. Previously these routes were handled exclusively by Gray Coach Ltd., a company owned entirely by the Toronto Transit THIRD IN A SERIES I resentative of a service club, Question: Who makes up the, religious order, union or local in - Board of Directors? dustry who was instrumental ifi Answer: People like you.

The Grade Sevens have made gaily decor- ated wreaths out of coat hangers and shredded plastic garbape bags. A decorative pupil -made o'hrictmas tree adorns the front wall of the Grade Three class room, the Grade Ones have pre- pared a beautifully designed bul- letin board in the hall and several classrooms have windows with attractively designed decorations relating to the Yule theme. in ad- dition the Grade Fours have sever di advent calendars in their -oom Each day a tiny door or xinoow on these calendars is opened and an event associated with the birth of Jesus is revealed The Grade Seven and Eight students had a different kind of experience this week. They all had a taste of pemmican a cu,icenti ated Indian food made from dried "buffalo" bee(, suet chokecherries and currants Some said it tasted like mince neat others like Christmas cake, a few reported it to taste exactiv the Ramp as calf ,mcentrate and others again decided it tasted just terrible However, every student sur- vived, and whether he liked it or not, he certainly appreciated the nourishment our ancestors had at their disposal. And that, from a historic point of view, is an invaluable experience. The T-shirts ordered last week will be arriving this week at the school There was a draw for one T-shirt held in the school on Monday. Statia, the princi- pal. madelthe draw and the luckv winner was Wade McInnes of Grade 6 Congratulations to all who participated to make this draw a successful event Although we have mentioned our upcoming Christmas concert once before we like to make mention of it again. The concert this year will be performed by Grades One to Four on Tuesday. December 21, in the auditorium of the school. Starting time 800 p.m , sharp. Everyone is cordial- ly invited. There is no admission charge but there will be a silver collection at the door for those who care to do so. Since this will be the last Courier this year, the staff and students wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Wroxeter Sunday guests with Mr and Mrs. Ross Toman were Mr and Mrs. Lorne Matthews of Preston - Cambridge; Wallace Toman, New Hamburg; Elgin Toman, Plattsville; Mrs. Ivan Sararas, New Dundee. Is Park Commission, and were the most profitable routes the company had. Because of this Gray Coach was able to subsidize service on other routes that were less profit- able or showed losses, such as service to Owen Sound and other parts of Western Ontario. Since Gray Coach now has competition on its most profitable runs, it said it could no longer provide the same service to Western Ontario. The government has come under severe pressure to reverse the decision, with the Liberal Party asking for an emergency debate on the matter. Meanwhile, following the cab- inet meeting in mid -week, Trans- portation Minister James Snow announced that he was asking the Ontarit, Highway Transport Board to reconsider the decision. Mr. Snow said the board would not conduct a re -hearing of the case, but would extend its previ- ous hearing to deal with two important factors it apparently didn't take into account before. These are the financial impact on Gray Coach if it loses the profit- able routes, and whether Gray Coach would have to cut service on shorter routes to smaller centres as a result. On the.latter point Gray Coach has already announced cuts. A bill to regulate funeral directors and their services in Ontario received approval in principle this week. The bill would set up committees to deal with complaints from the public. The Ontario Government is planning to close most of its provinciallyoperated campsites and lease the rest to private operators. In 1975, 1,617,707 people used the 21,000 campsites in the 122 provincial parks. The new policy, announced by Nat- ural Resources Minister Leo Bernier, will start taking effect next summer.
