Book members and guests were presented with corsages and. enjoyed reminiscing during the social hour. During dinner Mrs. Letta Taylor, founder and first presi- dent was presented with a gift. A moment of silence was then observed in honour of deceased members: Amelia Klumpp; Levina Kellerman; Clarice Guen- ther; Flora Oestreicher; Verna Burke; Mrs. Moffatt. Jack's Jottings From page 7 crime are among the main bene- ficiaries of profit from porno- graphic material. He asked the Attorney -General to confirm sus- picions that Capital Distributing Co. Canada Ltd, and its owners "are known or suspected by police to have some association with organized dime". Capital Distributing, a subsidiary of U.S. owned Capital Distributors, headed by John Santangelo of Derby, Conn., U.S., has been charged with distributing obscene publications. The Attorney General indicated he had ne specific information which would link the distribution of porono- graphic material to organized crime. I further pursued the Better Beef lease arrangment with the Ontario Government, for the Essex Packers operation at the Guelph Correctional Centre Pla- nt. I asked the Minister of Labour, Dr. Bette Stephenson, that in view of the fact that it now appears that the Minister of Correctional Services, inad- vertently misled the House, when he said that the lay-off at Essex Packers was for the reason of taking inventory. This reason is now seen to be incorrect as there was no inventory to take other than a small quantity of hams in storage in theoUnited States and $100,000 worth of supplies in the Hamilton plants which had al- ready been accounted for, and in view of the fact that the real reason for the lay-off is Better Beef's attempt to circumvent the provisions of the Employment Standards Act. The Act requires that a lessee deemed to be a successor corporation is legally liable for severance pay. I asked that the Minister firstly investigate this manoeuvre on the part of Better Beef, to ensure that the employees who were laid off will receive severance pay. Secondly, I asked, that she confer with the Minister of Correctional Services to deter- mine if this action on the part of Better Beef could not be con- sidered to be sufficient grounds for terminating the assignment of the lease to the DeJonge Brothers for the Guelph Abbatoir. The Minister glibly replied that in response to my passionate dissertation, she could only say "yes" and "yes". It is my understanding that the Minister met with the DeJonge Brothers the following day.
