Councillor Robert Dns - more disagreed with Mayor Sinnamori, who contended the price for the pins was a basic catalogue rate. Mr, Diiistiore, however, argued that other companies should be looked at to see if there may be a better offer. Councillor Gerald Groot- huis disagreed with the entire idea. • "Is it worth the money?" he asked.

Tax arants confusin lack Riddell, M.P.P. Judging from the number of enquiries ait my Constituency Office it is apparent that,, the implementation of the new Ontario Tax Grants_for. Seniors Program has caused caused considerable con- • fusion for senior citizens and I understand this is wide- spread across Ontario. We welcome these en- quiries and we are only too pleased to render assistance. I can well understand the conlusion even though the Ministry has attempted to Inform the potential re- cipients of the details of the program through the dis- tribution of p amphlets and other explanatory iliaterial. Instead of spending thousands of dollars 2rn election campaign -like material, designed to give the. government- tredit, ' it would be far more advantageous to allocate funds for seminars to be con- ducted by Ministry of Revenue employees at such places as -.Senior Citizens Drop -In Centres. Ontario Housing Senior Citizen Complexes and other locations where a significant number of applicants might congregate. We have made this suggestion to thc Government and if such a procedure were implemented, then relevant information would be avail- able on a first hand basis to senior citizens and they would be spared the political propoganda which is now emanating from the Ministry. The government will also demonstrate that this program is being put into effect "because Ontario cares."

The students work for an eight-hour day doing a wide range of farm labor including haying, • painting, and building fences. "The students enjoyed the program, and some are looking forward to a second summer," says Mr. Reinders "They liked working outside and gaining diverse and valuable job experiences."
