The traditional Speech from the Throne was comparatively short, and it seems clear that the main thrust of the Govern- ment's policies for the forth- coming session will come in the Provincial Budget. Considerable emphasis was placed on the need to battle inflation and the recog- nition that we must face critical economic realities. Our agriculture industry is vital to provincial economic stability and future food prod- uction, and I welcome the news that the Government intends to introduce legislation to establish a voluntary farm income stabiliz- ation plan, which will supplement the federal government's plan. This program has been endorsed and promoted by' the Federation of Agriculture and is sure to be of interest to the farming com- munity. The increase in provincial funds transferred to the munic- ipal sector will be 8% over the amount transferred last year, and the Government has made it clear that municipalities and school boards are to be respon- sible for ordering their priorit- ies, with a view to an acceptable municipal tax load, municipal Hensall News Hensall United Church Rev. Don Beck conducted the United Church service with Mrs. John Turkheim at the organ. The choir sang the anthem, "I saw the cross of Jesus". Rev. Beck continued his series of sermons on "What is a Virtue? (2) Justice". Justice cannot be attained by obeying laws or rules but only through the Spirit of God working in us. The flowers were in memory of Mrs. Marg- aret Ingram and Mr. Lewis. Johns. Hensall Sales Barn Supply consisted mainly of heifers and steers, demand was fair, prices were steady.

Apparently the role of the Ont- ario Food Council is to be expand- ed in its research and public information functions, and strict- er meat inspection, improved livestock and poultry protection are to be enforced - prompt- ed no doubt by the Quebec meat scandals. More judges are to be hired to alleviate the backlog of cases in all levels of courts, and a Blind Persons' Rights Act will permit blind people to take their seeing eye dogs into restuarants and public places. Also changes in estates law will give property rights to common law wives. After many years of consultat- ion and consideration the Prov- ince is now going to introduce a New Honie Warranties Plan which will protect buyers against poor workmanship.

This suggest- ion was originally made by Prem- ier Davis during last Septem- ber's election campaign, and un- der the proposal the government would have given a tax credit allowance of up to $500 a year to reduce interest charges on res- idential mortgages over 10 1/4%. Instead. the government has opted for the proposed home war- ranty plan. An all -party Select Committee of the Legislature is to be establ- ished to consider the overall question of highway safety, accident prevention and driver education, with special reference to alcohol-related driving of- fences, particularly by young people. The Government expressed Citizens News, March 17176 - Page 5 concern about the prospect of energy supply shortages and price increases. It is the intent- ion to maintain a policy of prot- ecting the consuming public and industrial users in Ontario from energy shortages, while making every effort, short of subsidizat- ion, to cushion the effects of higher energy prices. A program is to be initiated to upgrade, insulation and energy conservat- ion features in public buildings, including hospitals and educat- ional facilities. New buildings are to be subject to higher ther- mal performance standards.
