Zurich Citizens News, 1976-10-27, Page 7Jock Riddell The Ontario Legislature will reconvene on Tuesday, October 26th, and already every indica- tion points to a busy and event- ful session. As you are aware, ,the matter of government dos- ing of hospitals in the Province will be debated once more, and this Government policy has been strenuously opposed by the general public and opposi- tion members. The Farm In-' come Stabilization Bill will prove another contentious issue and earlier this year the plan initially put forward by the Government was defeated in the House and led to a non- confidence debate. Public con- cern about inflation and its effect on our daily lives will certainly be a major issue once again, and with the onset of winter and the recently an- nounced increased hydro costs the energy problem will also be a matter of great concern. It is anticipated that the Government will introduce most of its proposed new .legisla- tion on opening day, and we already -have on the order paper bills on corporate tax, succession duty, credit unions, and personal property security. There will also probably be a number of private members bills proposed during this session. One of the first items slated for debate is the report of the Morrow Committee , on the Camp Commissions recommen-. dations on which I reported to you some weeks ago. The re- port of the Select Committee Citizens News, October 27, 1976 -Page 7 Busy session expected for legislature on the bulk rates of Ontario Hydro is also to be discussed as are reports from two other Select Committees of the Legislature—one on highway safety and the other on truck- ing in the province. A major debate on land use in Ontario is expected. Many people have been concerned about the necessity for firm guide lines to prevent short sighted developments which take valuable farm land out of production, encourage unneces- sary urban sprawl and destroy our natural resources, encour- age unnecessary urban sprawl and destroy our natural re- sources, with little considera- tion of the possibility that we might simultaneously improve living and working conditions for the people of Ontario with- out causing irreversible damage to our environment. At the same time we must protect the ownership rights of our farmers and other citizens whose land is a major part of their material investment. The supplementary estimates of the Provincial Ombudsman are to be debated as well as the report on land deals in the Pickering area in connection with the now cancelled (at least postponed) second Toronto air- port. A debate on the constitution is also anticipated and there seems every liklihood that there will be a debate on con- fidence in the Government. Also, a number of members have not yet made their con- tribution to the Debate on the Budget. Of course it is now more than six months since the Treasurer brought down his Budget but 'The Budget Debate" provides an excellent opportunity for M.P.P.'s to bring to the attention of the Government and Legislature their views and concerns about Government policy and matters which are of importance to the Proper cooking secret to good brussels sprouts Top quality Ontario Brussel sprouts will be in good supply from now until the end of November. "When you cook Brussels sprouts, drop them into lots of rapidly boiling water; keep the water boiling, leave uncovered and cook quickly just until tender -crisp." This advice comes from the food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. These recommendations, if followed, will give a vegetable of the best color, the best flavor, and as high a level of nutrients as possible. The pigment G,hlorophyll is what .makes Brussels sprouts green if you drnp the vege- tables --into boiling water, the color will intensify. Watch it. The green color will seem to surface as though it had been shocked by the hot bath. If in error you cover the Brussels sprouts at this point, the naturally occurring organic acids which are released into cooking water will be trapped. The vegetable will then cook in an acid medium, and acid changes chlorophyll—turning the green pigment an unpleas- ant olive-green color. By leav- ing the lid off, the acid will escape and the bright green will remain. Cooking Brussels sprouts in lots of water dilutes those naturally occurring acids mak- ing the water less "acid", thus helping to retain the color. Be careful not to overcook Brussels sprouts. Overcooking causes excessive loss of valu- able nutrients, especially Vita- miri C, of which Brussels sprouts are an excellent source. BEAN FESTIVAL Annual Meeting in Zurich Town Hall at 8:00 p.m. on Wed., November 3, 1976 Come OneLunch Served Come All people in the riding and in the province generally. On November llth, most members of the Legislature will 'return to their ridings to participate in Remembrance Day services. This past year • Legion Branches throughout the country have been commemor- ating the 50th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion. I am sure most of you- are well aware that our Legions play an important role in society to- day as they have always done over the past fifty years. Natur- ally the Legion is primarily concerned with veterans and their families. This does not mean that its members are constantly pre -occupied "look- ing over their shoulders" so to speak. They are actively and enthusiastically committed to improving the present day circumstances of those who are experiencing financial or other difficulties, and helping people to achieve fulfillment and success. The Legion gives assistance to veterans and their families in obtaining pensions and benefits. The organization has sponsored low rental housing projects which have filled a great need at a time when Ontario's people have been faced with housing shortages and crippling high rents. Legion bursaries, public speaking con- tests, and Remembrance Day literary competition provide inspiration and encouragement to students at the elementary and secondary school levels, and each year something like 20,000 young people partici- pate in Legion track and field events culminating in a provin- cial championship. I hope many of you will join with me on Remembrance Day in paying tribute not only to those, who at great personal sacrifice defended our way of life against the force of war, but also to Legion members who in times of peace continue to play an important role in preserving that way of life which they consider to be every Canadian's birthright.
