A dented tail pipe or muffler should be replaced even if there are no holes or breaks, because a restricted exhaust escape can adversely affect engine performance. More and more "rumble strips" are being installed across straight long stretches of superhighway. Grooved pavement sets up vibrations when hit by a car, helps keep driver awake.

Mr. Isbis- ter is presently holding the pos- ition of Executive Director of the World Bank Group in Washing- ton, D.C. a post he has held for the past five years. His appointment as Royal Commissioner is planned to take effect on August 1, 1975. For some considerable time Liberal Leader Robert Nixon has been calling upon the Gov- ernment to use its influence with Ontario Hydro to reduce the prop- osed rate increases for hydro. Hydro had originally proposed a rate increase of 29.6% for next January. In response to Govern- ment policy directive, Hydro indicated that they were going to reduce this rate of increase. Mr. Nixon stated that in his view, hydro should reduce its rate increase by half. He also sugg- estedthat the $44 million const- ruction for Hydro's new head- quarters be rented out to the private sector to cut budget corners. Premier William Davis has recently refused to meet a del- egation of citizens who want an independent inquiry into the proposed Hydro power corridor between Bradley Junction and Georgetown. The Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Robert Nixon, asked the Provincial Secretary for Resources Development, Mr. Allan Grossman to use his good offices with the Premier to afford the delegation the opportunity to express their con- cern to the Premier. Mr. Nixon felt it was a matter that should not be brushed aside since it concerned the utilization of farm - 4 Guaranteed Investment Certificates Member Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation VG GREY TRUST COMPANY SINCE 18e9 LOCAL AGENT: John R.

Mr. Bernard Newman, Liberal Member for Windsor-Walkerville asked the Minister of the Envir- onment whether he was aware of recent studies in the United States that have revealed that drinking water which sits in household pipes overnight has been found in many instances to contain poisonous levels of metals like cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese and zinc. Such metals can cause high blood pressure, arterial problems as well as mental retardation. Mr. Newman wanted the Minist- er to assure the House that no such levels of these metals can be found in Ontario waters. The Minister of the Environment said that to his knowledge there is not. His Ministry is constantly checking. Mrs. Margaret Campbell, Liberal Member for St. George, this week expressed concern about the Davis -Government's disregard for the operation of the Legislature. The Premier, Mrs. Campbell said, for the entire month of June, spent a total of 225 minutes, under four hours, 'in the Legislature. She said the Premier's 'disreg- ard for the Legislative process sets a poor example for Conser- vative Members. The Premier seldom attnds Question Period and when he does he is often late. Mrs. Campbell said while the Premier was swatting a few baseballs with the Press Gallery last Monday, it was interesting that on the same day the Legis- lature had to adjourn at 5:25 p.rn. for lack of business. Mrs. Campbell said that if the Premier wants to engage in publicity stunts, that is his dec- ision, but in the interests of the taxpayers of Ontario he should quit fooling around with their money and, a most important institution, the Legislature. Mr. Ian Deans, NDP member for Wentworth, asked the Min- ister of Colleges and Universit- ies whether there will be any new provisions available to stud- ents returning to universities and colleges, or attending for the first time, who were unable to obtain summer employment. Mr. Auld replied that he had indicated during the course of his Ministry 's estimates there are provisions for an appeal. If the student can indicate that he or she was unable to obtain summer employment, additional funds can be granted through the Canada Student Loan Plan and that the Ministry is making provision for an improvement in the appeal process so that there would not be delays this fall. SHOPPFj SALES Plus 3 SELECTION All This Week r GODERICH Bill 144, An Act to Amend the Insurancer Act, received second reading. Among other things the amendments permit the establ- ishment of a fire mutual guar- antee fund establishing a trust fund to which insurers, carrying on business, on the premium note plan, may subscribe and contribute and thereafter cease to issue contracts on the premium note plan. The fund guarantees ability of the insurers to meet their obligations. • During the discussions on the amendments Mr. Hugh Edighoff- er, Liberal Member for Perth, said that on checking with staff members of the companies he found that discussions have been taking place for approximately three years to have such a change come about as they felt that the system of the premium note was somewhat antiquated and had not been used to its full advantage for 30 years or so. The Minister of Health, The Honourable Frank Miller, has said that he still hopes he can get nine, and perhaps all 10, provincial health ministers to at- tend a conference later this month or early August. He had originally called for an early meeting to discuss Ottawa's ceilings on contributions to health care imposed in the June 23rd budget. The four western prov- incial ministers were unable to attend talks this week and Quebec's minister said he would not attend if the western repres- entatives were not present. The Health Disciplines Act was proclaimed this week which, gives lay people more say in governing medicine, dentistry, nursing, optometry and pharm- acy. The power is conferred to a seven member board of lay people to hear appeals from pers- ons dissatisfied with the way their complaints have been handl- ed by the governing college of any of the five professions. The Board would play no part in any legal action such as a malpractice suit. A member of any one of the five professions also has the right to appeal to the Boad Bangart, Tte!!y, Doig aitd Co.
