Thanks every one, we couldn't
have done it without you. in Kinburn Foresters long active
t pposes gas increases, premier
By Jack Riddell, M.P.P.)
In reply to a question by Mr.
Robert Nixoi,, Leader of the
Opposition, Premier Davis said in
the Legislature this week that he
was in communication with Prime
Minister Trudeau on the subject
of possible 'increases in the price
of crude oil and• natural gas.
Premier Davis said he made it
absolutely clear that Ontario
opposed any. increase in the price
of crude oil or -natural gas until
such time as inflation is brought
under control and unemployment
is substantially reduced. Premier
Davis said that Mr. Trudeau
assured him, he understood
Ontario's arguments and
indicated that contrary to
speculation, the Federal Cabinet
had not yet made a decision
although he anticipated that some
kind of a decision will be made in
the next few days.
Premier Davis informed the
Legislature that the following day
he sent a telex to the Prime
Minister with copies to the other
Premiers, to reaffirm Ontario's
position on the subject of possible
oil and nat ural gas price
increases.
Mr. Nixon then wanted to
know, as the Premier feels that an
increase in the energy costs,
which Mr. Nixon believe to be a
fact, as going to have a deleterious
effect on our employment and add
further pressures to the inflation
in the economy, why, the
Government of Ontario, which
Men's Court has been known for
many, many years.

Then there is the interesting
work of fixing or painting or
purchasing new furniture for the
hall which creates much interest
for all the members.
Court Constantine L 1842 raises
about $300.00 for the national
project, cancer research each
year.
June 13th, 1958 is the' official
birthday of the Ladies Court. The
Environmental - Impact
Assessment Bill in its present
form is any indication of the
accomplishments of this Minister
then I would ,have to say that the
effort on the part of the Minister
and his staff leaves a great deal to
be desired.
I indicated that I assumed a
large part of the expenditure of
this ministry goes to funding
water and sewage projects in the
various municipalities and
believed that inroads in
correcting the pollution problems
in the various municipalities
throughout Ontario are being
made, but I wanted to know what
pressures were being brought to
bear on our neighbours to the
south to live up to their
commitments and obligations to
get back on schedule according to
the agreement that was made. I
also pointed out that the Ministry
of Environment has yet to define
the role of sanitary land-fill sites
within its overall waste
management policy. More landfill
sites are not the answer. They will
merely postpone the garbage
crisis. The ultimate solution is
both to recycle garbage but more
importantly to reduce the amount
produced. A ban on
non-returnable bottles would be a
move in the right direction in the
reduction of garbage at its
source.The Solid Waste Task
Force has concluded that non-
refillable containers are
environmentally harmful and that

can in fact control the policy of
Ontario Hydro, does not tell
Ontario Hydro that an increase in
energy rates cannot be permitted
at this time.
Ontario Hydro wants a 30%
increase in Hydro rates for 1975
and wants to double their price in
5 years.
In his opening remarks during
the debates on the Estimates of
the Ministry of the Environment,
Mr. W. Newman, Minister of the
Environment said that the
Ministry of the Environment has
established a reputation
excellence in environmental
protection and enhancement
which is acknowledged
throughout the world. It was the
Ministry's intention to maintain
and improve this standard of
performance. Mr. Newman
referred to the Speech from the
Throne and 'said that Ontario is
presently confronted by economic
conditions which call for strong
and decisive response from the
people and from the
Government, His ministry
recognizes that. the Province's
financial requirements will be
substantial and there is a need for
restraint. 'he said that while
effecting restraints his Ministry
does not intend to follow a policy
of retrenchment. ' Mr. Newman
indicated that his Ministry will
increase its existing
environmental protection
programmes and enhanc the
quality of the environment at the
1st and 2nd Mortgages
least possible cost to the
industrial and commercial sector
of our economy and to the people
of this province.
In presenting the estimates of
the Ministry of the Environment,
Mr. Newman said the ag gregate
for this year is $231,176,000 or an
increase of 15.6 .per cent over
1974-1975.
As Critic Of the Ministry of the
Environment for the Liberal
Caucus, in my opening speech .1
briefly touched on the organiz-
ational structure of the Ministry,
whereby 1,066 ministry personnel
were decentralized and although
the- Liberal party concur with
decentrialization, accompanying
this change was a tremendous
increase in expenditures. The
expenditure for the entire
ministry increased by $69.5
million over the year before. For
1975-1976 the Committee is asked
to consider an additional
expenditure of $31 million over
last year. I stated that the Liberal
Party do not' begrudge this
particular ministry the additional
expenditure if it reflects an
improved environment. But I
pointed out that the major
environmental Issues are still
prevalent, today as they were last
year or the year before or the year
before that. I indicated that I was
not convinced that the Minister
has accomplished or will
accomplish anything close to that
which needs to be done even with
the additional expenditure. If the

Kinburn or Constance is the
home of the Canadian Foresters.
Canadian Foresters is one of
the oldest existing societies in
Canada and was organized on
November 25, 1879, in London by
Canadians for the benefit of
Canadians.
The Canadian Foresters is a
nonjaenominational society with
no political affiliations.
Its membership of over 45,000
members from every -province in
Canada represent a broad
cross-section of faiths, -religions
and political parties. This Society
is managed by its members.
The Canadian Foresters Life
Insurance Society is a non-profit
company conceived to promote
the concept of fraternalism and to
provide members with the
benefits of sound insurance
planning and protection. •
Canadian Foresters have a
national project which is cancer
research.Across Canada
donations to date are around the
$500,000 mark.
Court Conitance 157 and Court
Constantine L 1842 meet the last
Thursday and the 2nd Thursday
respectively in their Kinburn hall
which was the former, school
house. The original Forester hall,
built at the beginning of 1908 was
in poor condition for crowds. So,
when S.S.No. 3 Hullett was being
sold the Foresters bought -the
building and property on October
15, 1966.
The ladies court, Court
Constantine L 1842 held their
meeting in the newly purchased
building on November 10, 1966.
There are many interesting
activities for Forester members,
social events as picnics, toboggan
parties, pancake suppers, skating
parties, family dances, family
• dinner, chicken barbeque,
euchres, ladies' night, swimming
parties, annual birthday party,
bus trips and an annual church
parade. Also, the group is
interested in welfare work e.g.
financial help for Children's Aid,
Queen Elizabeth School for
Retarded, Robarts School in
London, Salvation Army and
helping local families who have
lost their homes by fire. Members
are remembered with flowers
when they are ill.
Members of both the ladies
and men's lodges have organized
bowling for six months of the
year.
of the Some 'Court
Constantine's lar ger projects
have been: a stretcher bed for
Seaforth Community Hospital;
two occasional chairs for the
any switch from the use of
non-refillable soft drink bottles
and cans to refillabies is
beneficial to the environment,
Although the Task Force report
favoured a switch to• returnable
bottles the Minister has merely
chosen to phase out the flip top
and not the can itself. I also stated
that many municipalities are now
trying to pass their own bylaws to
ban non-returnable bottles but
the Provincial Government has'
refused to pass any effective laws
on banning of the bottles and has
refused individual municipalities
the authority to enforce their own
bans.
Another problem which still
faces the Province is the question
of noise pollution. Noise causes
more complaints than any other
environmental problem. It is
being recognized as a contributor
to hypertension, nervousness,
upset stomach, muscle spasm,
ulcers, nervous breakdowns,
physical and mental exhaustion
and sometimes homicidal
impulses. Because of the lack of
Provincial _legislation, the local
governments and individuals are
left very much to their own to find
relief. Municipalities are finding
a lot wrong with the Ontario
Government's complicated model
noise bylaw and are hesitant to
accept it. Only with time,
persistence, staff and rhoney
could such a bylaw be made
operable and effective.
During the debates on the
estimates of the Ministry of the
Environment I asked the Minister
whether any relief would be
forthcoming to the property
owners in Vanastra, the phased
out airbase just outside of
Clinton. The rate of the property
owners has increased 150%. I
pointed out to the Minister that it
is a terrific assessment and is
providing a real hardship to the
people in Vanastra.
I also discussed fluorides which
are used in 85% treated water in
Ontario. Fluoride studies now
coming out of the States show
that it may be dangerous to the
ecology. Fluoride . studies have
only been going on for the last 4
years and, therefore, there is not
much data on which to base any
facts but it seems that Fluoride
can accumulate, in fish and wild
life. The date coming from
different research in ,the United
States comprise a fairly
compelling case for treating
fluorides as pollutants with a
great capacity to do ecological
harm.
