Mr. Mac Sewers flew to Ot- tawa Sunday to attend a con- ference for the Department of Supply service printing division Monday to Thursday, Hi-C members held a supper meeting on Wednesday with a business meeting, variety night practice and bowling, The House did not sit last week in order that the Conser- vative Members would have an opportunity to attend the National Convention of the Progressive Conservative Party which was held in Ottawa. This gave the Opposition members a chance to read the numerous reports which are submitted by Cabinet Ministers and chair-' men of various committees and to study the bills which have already been introduced in this session of' the Legislature, It was an oppor- tunity as well for Opposition Members to attend to many of the problems which existed within the Ridings which they represent. Only 20 days after Premier William Davis shuffled his Cabinet, Dr, Shulman, NDP High Park, called for the resignation of Frank- Miller,- new Minister of Health. Dr. Shulman questioned Mr. Miller's judgment, competence and basic knowledge of health matters. He said that unless the minister was replaced `,`a real Public Health disaster may well overtake, us all". Dr. Shulman, a persistent critic of Mr. Miller since his appoint- ment criticized the removal as of Saturday, of Provincial regulations governing swim- ming pools. As a result most pools in apartment buildings no longer need to be supervised by lifeguards. Dr. Shulman has asked a number of questions in the. Legislature and in his opinion he has not received any answers which would indicate that Mr. Miller knows anything of either the Ministry or the problems of health 'care. A committee studying classification of farmland in Ontario warned strongly that prime agricultural land is rapidly' disappearing. The group recommended that the minister of agriculture be given final say over development that would affect productive far- mland. The proposal would remove land planning power from the , treasurer and give agriculture' minister,• William Stewart and his successors the power to veto expressways, parkbelts, subdivisions and any commercial and industrial development. that would affect productive farmland. The report also recommended that land usable for farming be classified in five categories that would clearly distinguish land held for speculation or Only for residence from land being far- med. Mr, Stewart had little to say about the proposal that would transfer to him the plan- ning headaches, particularly in unzoned rural areas that Treasurer John White is trying to solve with demands that municipalities pass official plans and as a last resort, land freezes, Describing speculators as the worst cats in the whole situation because they are just sitting there contributing noxious weeds and un- sightliness, the chairman of the committee said he personally favours penalties of some kind for speculators, He said details were a matter of government policy and outside the commit- tee's terms of reference. Mr. Stewart would not comment on possible penalties, for instance, assessing higher tax rates on unproductive farmland, but he emphasized the Government's present incentives to active far- mers including a 50 % rebate on property taxes to those whose farms earned at least $2,000 last year. The five classifications recommended by the Commit- tee are: • agricultural land owned or leased by people or com- panies whose principal activity is farming, *agricultural residential land owned or leased by people who farmed the greater proportion of the land and derived at least 25 per cent of their income from farming. *rural residential land, far- mland most of which is not being farmed and which produces less than 25% of the owner's income. *rural recreational farm land used at a profit for raising game birds, hunting or fishing, skiing, keeping dogs or horses or other recreational uses. *rural speculative, and not in the other categories resulting in an immediate hazard to adequate supply of farm products "prohibitive" property values and lack of weed control, drainage and maintenance, according to the report. Tired of waiting since 1968 for curriculum guidelines, promised by the ministry of education, some school boards are using an unauthorized draft of the primary and junior curriculum guidelines for On- tario, Teachers and principals have been promised the guidelines to implement the Hall Denis report titled "Living and Learning",. The study outlines proposals to make drastic changes in Ontario schools. The ministry of education raised expectations when a review of curriculum was approved in August, 1970. Committees were appointed, then there was a steady stream of promises from the curriculum branch that guidelines were developing and would be ready for publication, Within the last month school boards were told the publication would have a new name entitled "The New Curriculum Guidelines for the Primary and Junior Divisions" and that additions have been made to the fifth draft, but a number of the boards were already using the fifth draft which have been prepared for final approval by the minister of education in May, 1973. The promise then was that the guidelines would be in' print by September. Tired of waiting the school boards ignored the, memorandum which specified the fifth draft as a confidential document by the director of the curriculum development branch. The- unauthorized guidelines give teachers more authority in setting classroom programs. The fifth draft notes that it is only the teacher together with the children who can decide from day to day and week to week what are the best decisions to make to meet their particular needs. The guidelines at the Provincial and board levels provide a framework of general 'aims. However, at the pupil level t guidelines say that the teach sould have freedom to sel materials in sequences teaching, The law which requires de turists to pass Provinci examinations and work on under the supervision of de tists has been the target of t bills introduced in t Legislature this session. Liberal Leader Nixon's Dent Prosthesis Bill would perm denturists to take impressio and make teeth working fro their own premises. Similar i tent is in an amending bill fro Bud Germa, NDP Sudbur that would allow denturists deal directly with the public The Government set this pa : December as a deadline fo denturists to register f examinations as dentur therapists and stop sellin directly to the public. Den turists practising illegally face fines up to $2,000 or six month in jail. Five other provinces permit denturists to sell directly to the public. Changes to the ,con- troversial denture therapist legislation are being considered by Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller, which would see the law amended to remove denturists and dental technicians from the super- vision of dentists, This change would represent a major con- cession by the Government I to about 100 denturists clinics which had been defying the law for about three months by selling false teeth directly to the public. It's actually quite simple. All you do is accumulate fifteen demerit points and lose your licence for thirty days. Do it again and lose your licence for six months. In this province, it definitely pays a driver to score a big fat zero, Ontario's demerit point system is designed to convince the poor driver to drive properly, Drivers who do not improve are then taken from the road because they're a menace to pedestrians and to other drivers. But the system is not at all unjust. It's aimed at telling the driver where he's gone wrong and giving him plenty of time to cor- rect his faults. For instance. When you've accumulated six points, you'll be notified and urged to improve your driving. Wheii you've got nine, you'll prob- ably be asked to attend a private interview and re-do your driving test. At fifteen points, you'll lose your licence for thirty days and drop back to seven points. Oe fifteen again and you won't driv six months, However, your record won't be or 4k, 111111111111111111e COME-HEAR and ENJOY JOYCE BOWERMAN President of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Association of Women at HURON CENTENNIAL SCHOOL Brucefield, 8 p.m. April 3, 1974 sponsored by The Women's Committee to the Huron P.C.
