At 10 o'clock a, m.

A 15 Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER • t1191171•412 012•117 SIM MA I I If power steering groans when the wheels are turned, whether car is moving or not, you may be low on steering -system fluid. If your engine misses while you drive, and timing, plugs and car- buretor have been checked, you may have water in the gasoline. Special fuel additive will take care of it. • Kerosene and gasoline will make tires deteriorate—don't use them to clean whitewalls, no matter how efficient it seems. Italy's tire maker Pirelli has designed a new, triangular- shaped tire said to run safely up to 100 miles even if deflated. Good thing it's far in the future, though; it requires a different type of wheel. During gas rationing in World War II, Boston granted a permit for its first new hitching post in 300 years.

After inspecting the Guard, Mr. MacDonald performed the cere- monial opening of the Legis- lature at which time he read the Speech from the Throne, prepared by Premier William Davis, which set out the Govern merit's Legislative program for the current session. Mr. Mac- Donald then left the Chamber and the Legislature began its business. Shortly after his exit the Legislature was adjourned for the day and the members and guests had a chance to meet Mr. MacDonald and the Prem- ier during a two hour reception in Mr. MacDonald's suite. The Throne Speech was be- reft of substance and contained nothing significant about cont- rols on inflation and the soaring cost of living. The Govern- ment's thrust as revealed in the Throne Speech represents quite an opening to the North. The Government plans for the North include increased activity on a number of fronts. A road to James Bay through Moosen- ee and a deep water port on Hudson Bay or James Bay, if feasible would facilitate dev- elopment of Northern Ontario and high Arctic energy and min• eral deposits. Four more north- ern communities will receive air services from the Govern- ment Airline, NorOntair and there will be money to improve Northern airports.

The Province together with the Federal Gov- ernment and industry will seek reliable telephone and other communications systems for northern communities. Those communities which are current]: unorganized will have the chance to set up their own councils to handle fire protect- ion, water, roads and similar services. Culture will be brought to remote areas through the Ontario Council for the Arts. An income support program was promised the elderly and disabled but the speech gave no details of the program only to say that the proposed prog- ram will assist in achieving a greater measure of security for Ontario's older citizens and the disabled. A Health education program will be launched to inform Ontario's citizens of the debil- itating effects of alcohol, nicotine and mind bending drugs. The program will also encourage the public to make better use of the Province's health care system. The Throne Speech pledged establishment of a formal review mechanism for payment claims by non- medical practitioners such as chiropractors similar to the one in existence for claims by doct- ors.
