Newinan, informed the House of the enactment of new and amended air pollution control regulations for the Prov- ince to be effective immed- iately. The Ministry has established emission standards for 84 cont- aminants and criteria for desir- able air quality for 23 subst- ances including lead. The new standard for lead emission reduces the amount of lead allowed to enter the air by 507/o. This standard was a major recommendation put forward in a recent report by a working group on lead. By establishing the more rigorous emission standard for lead the Government has strengthened its program to control exposure of lead pollution to the people of this province. The Minister said it calls for the best control equipment that technology can offer. The Minister also reported that the Ministry has been al- erted since last January to the vinyl chloride hazard which DU ICH Citizens NEWS PRINTED BY SOUTH HURON PUBLISHERS LIMITED, ZURICH HERB TURKHEIM, Publisher Second Class Mail Registration Number 13854.4110,1A. er Member: '+�*`` AIIP CNA Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association 'OWIIA Ontario.

To date there have been no reported afflic- tions among workers engaged in the vinyl chloride industry in Canada. The findings of the research have resulted in the establishment of a criteria • which limits the emission from vinly chloride within safe limits. The Ministry has est- ablished 0.1 parts per million of vinyl chloride averaged over 24 hours as the guideline for desirable air quality in the community. The Minister said that research carried out in Ontario and the findings of studies in the United States established that there is a def- inite safety factor at this level. The Honourable Margaret Birch, Provincial Secretary for Social Development, this week in the Legislature, briefly out- lined a few of the prograuls to be held during International Women's Year. The United Nations in recognition of the important contributions women have made to the economic, social and cultural development of nations and to promote full equality between men and wont. --en, have proclaimed 1975 as International Women's Year. Of the series of events and special activities to create public awareness of the new roles and needs of the women in this Province, the Govern- ment of Ontario, will convene a sleeting of representatives of labour and management, on February 18, to focus attent- ion on equal employment opp= ortunities for woolen, Mrs. Birch said that in Ontario two out of every five women are now employed outside the home. At the February meet- ing the Government will ask for support of both labour and management in programs to assist woolen who seek expand- ed opportunities,within the labour force. The program will include provincial grants for amounts up to $1, 000 for groups who plan special projects to cele- brate International Women's Year and the Government plans to honour a group of women wh, will be nominated by their own communities or organizat- ions for outstanding achieve- ment. Mrs. Birch indicated that during International Women's Year new legislation on a • broad range of subjects related to family law will be introd- uced to bolster the efforts of the Ontario Government in achieving the greatest degree of social and legal equality possible in this area.

Of the three-man Camp Commission, Dalton Camp, former Progressive Conservative Party National President, Doug Fisher, previously an N DP Member of Parliament, doubted that limits could be enforced, although Farquhar Oliver, one-time Liberal Member of the Legis- lature, expressed the opinion that limits would have added materially to the full effect of the Commission's proposals. Limits are recommended on amounts which individuals, corporations and unions may contribute, along with the establishment of tax credits. Contributions of more than $10 should be recorded, and the source of contributions over $100 should be disclosed. In an attempt to discourage very expensive campaigns, the Commission proposed a formula under which candidates would be able to receive up to $7,500 each from the public purse. The Report also recommends the length of election camp- aings be reduced from 37 to 30 days.
