Legislation which would
allow adopted children to
discover the identity of their
natural parents under con-
trolled circumstances was
defeated in the Legislature.
A proposed amendment to
the Child Welfare Act would
have allowed adopted
children to ascertain the
identity of their biological
parents provided both the
adoptive and natural parents
agree.
The Government has intro-
duced legislation to extend
the present six percent
ceiling on most residential
rents until at least the end of
1979. The Cabinet can de-
cide, at the end of 1979,
justify a change in the
cwehileitnhge.r
,
economic conditions
Under the new legislation,
landlords and tenants, in
'buildings with six or fewer
units, could agree 'to an
increase of more than 6%
with the approval of a
provincial commission. The
commission, which will
amalgamate the powers and
responsibilities of rent re-
view officers, ' landlord-
tenant advisory bitreaus and
small claims and county
courts, would be headed by a
board of directors and staffed
by regional commissioners
travelling around the pro-
vince to mediate and
adjudicate disputes. Local
offices would be set up to
proyide information and ad-
vice to the public.
The commission would
have the power to collect
rents and hold the money in
trust in cases where it
believed , landlords were
acting irresponsibly.
The new, legislation will
not apply to housing owned
or managed by government,
buildings not occupied be-
fore January 1976, or mobile
homes not in existence be-
Liberal finance critic, said, he
felt it had served its purpose
and that its removal will be
helpful in "setting a decent
investment climate in the
province."
Under questioning from
the Opposition, the Trea-
surer has disclosed that the

of CommtmitY and Social
Services has been found
guilty of contempt of court

state a counsellor convicted
of kicking a retarded woman
in the face. The Minister has
announced that the counsel-
lor will go back to his job at
the Huronia Regional Centre
in Orillia, "under constant
and direct supervision of a
superior residential counsel-
lor, until such time as a more
satisfactory solution can be
found."
Last week, the Minister .
introduced a bill that would
rescind the grievance
board's decision and order a
new hearing. Mr. Norton has
said that he has reservations
about the legislative route,
but that it may be necessary
"if no alternatives can be
found".

to $1,48 billion this year,
almost 41% higher than
forecast in the 1978/79
budget. Ile has also aban-
doned the promiSe made 'by
former Treasurer Darcy

He said a lagging economy
has reduced Ontario's in-

corporate income,. taxes,
federal projections for per-
sonal taxes haye been over-
estimated, and Wintario lot-
tery profits have been cut by
the federally, operated Loto
'Canada's ' aggressive ad-
vertising.
As well, Mr. Miller said,
much of Ottawa's spending
restraint program depends
on lower transfer payments
to the provinces. That could
cut Ontario's revenne. by
$200 million this year, he
said.
The Government, which
put up $28 million to entice
Ford Motor Co. of Canada
Ltd. to build a new plant in
Windsor, also may give
incentives to the pulp and
paper industry. Mr. Miller.
said.
He insisted, however, that
the industry will have to
meet "a stringent program"
of environmental standards.
Both Opp,Ssition Parties
attacked the government
over its handling of the
economy. Stuart Smith
emphasized the fact that the
government is now paying
$3.3 million a day in interest
alone. Liberal finance critic
David Peterson said the
Treasurer should not have
used federal figures to pre-
dict income tax revenues,
because these have been
Treasurer, said that the tax
had the desired effect .of
curbing speculation, but had
also given Ontario a bad
name among investors. The
Liberals supported the
government's decision to
abolish the tax. David Peter-

Association, who gave an
outline of activities at the
school.
Treasurer Audrey Swat-
ridge announced that in
response to many requests,
the Association is placing In
Memoriam cards in local
funeral homes so 'that dona-
tions may be made to the
Association.
The iieict general meeting
committee has, looked at
various ways to make ends
meet, and has come up with
a trip-a-month lottery. Only
300 tickets will be sold, and
-each month there will be a
draw for a $1500 trip, plus a
consolation prize of a week-
end trip. Members of the
Association will begin selling.
the lottery tickets in
November.
The work of the Associ-
ation has grown outstand-
ingly since 'it began in 1958.
As well as the Wingham
area, the conamunities of
Teeswater, Lucknow, Blyth,
Brussels, Ethel and Gorrie
arc served. President
Florence Reavie told of a
meeting with officials of the
Ministry', where it was sug-
gested that Wingham .might
• combine with Godcrich and
Clinton to build a central
workshop to serve-the entire
region: ••. •
" This proposal was, dis-
cussed in detail, with most
Association members oppos-
ing the idea, It was felt that
the Jack Reavie Oppor-
tunity Workshop serves the-
area well, and that a small
setting with individilal at-
tention has • many benefits..
Eleven trainees now attend
the workshop under the
direction of Connie Jamieson
and as the need for a new
larger larger workshop arises; the
Association would hope to
construct one in our own
'district. Another objection to
a regional workshop is that
travel time for the trainees
would be excessive and
winter travel conditions
would be unpredictable.
Trainees at the Workshop
are busy preparing for the
Craft . and .Bitke Sale to be
held .on` Dec. 9. as well as
working on regular contracts
and enjoyi ig' weekly outings
for bowling and for swim-
ming lessons at Vanastra.
