CARD OF THANKS STOREY'- I wish to thank everyene who sent cards, treats and visited me while I was in the hospital. Special thanks to Dr. Lambert, Dr. Newland and em- ployees of Clinton Public Hospital. Ray Storey.20p HUDIE: wish to express, my sin- cere thanks to all my relatives, friends and neighbours who sent treats, cards and visited me while I was a patient in Clinton Hospital. Special thanks to Dr. Baker, Dr, Flowers and all the nurses on first floor, Fred Hudie.-20p Ontario Hydro announced last week that it was proposing increases of 15 per cent in the cost of power to municipal used utilities in 1975. The utilities buy in bulk from Hydro and in turn supply the majority of On- tario's 2 1/2 million users. Hydro said further. that it an- ticipated annual increases of 10 to 15 per cent through the period 1975 to 1979. During the discussion of the expenditure estimates of the Ministry of Energy, opposition members 'attacked Hydro's proposal in the legislature. They said the increases were more apt to be 15 per cent than 10 per cent and this if com- pounded meant a doubling of Hydro's charges in five years. Opposition members stressed upon the Minister of Energy that he had to step in and tell Hydro that it must not double its rate over five years. Hydro's rate application will be reviewed by the Ontario Energy Board in public hearings begin- ning June 10th. The board will make recommendation to the Government. Mr. McKeough, Minister of, energy,' told opposition- mem- bers that he was concerned about the proposed increase and indicated that Ontario Hydro's proposed rate in- creases for the rest of the decade are staggering. He said the government would have to look things after the board has made its examination and report. Ontario Hydro tried to justify its rate of increases by laying emphasis on the fact that it had been hard hit by the escalating prices of coal, oil and natural gas. Coal used to fuel the majority of Hydro's Thermo stations will increase 34 per cent in price this year and another 17 per cent in 1975, ac- cording to Hydro. Oil and natural gas prices are likely to rise even faster and more than 60 per cent of new generating units commissioned before 1980 will be fired by coal or oil. Recognizing the impact of current inflation on Ontario Hospitals, Health Minister Frank Miller said he will allow Hospital Boards that can prove need to spend perhaps $100 million more than spending ceilings permit this year. The increase grant will be given on an individual basis to hospitals whose applications are ap- proved. Mr. Miller told the legislature extra funds will be automatically granted to cover forced costs, additional expen- ses to Hospitals for higher unemployment insurance. Canada pension plan and workmens compensation board contributions. The government will also cover actual cost in- creases in hospitals of fuel oil, food, medical supplies and other materials. In addition the ministry is prepared to con- sider appeals from hospitals for more money to cover wages and fringe benefits, particularly for workers in lower wage brackets. The ministry's spending ceilings allowed an increase in Hospital budgets of 7.9 per cent this year. The ministry budget provides 1.2 billion dollars for hospitals about half its total estimated spending this year, and Mr. Miller chose not to raise the ceilings. Mr.' Miller rejected automatic across the board wage increases for all hospital workers in the province, modelled on the Toronto set- tlement which provides $1.50 raises in five stages over two years, Although he hinted the Toronto settlement may be con- sidered a model for' workers in other urban areas. He said the 26. CARD OF THANKS MOFFAT; The family of the late Mrs. Peter Moffat wish to express their gratitude to relatives and• friends for floral tributes, donations messages of sympathy and many acts of kindness during their recent bereavement. Special thanks to Dr. Moyo and staff of Seaforth Com- munity Hospital, G.A. Whitney Funeral Home, Rev. M. E, Reuber and the Northside United Church Women, Mr. and Mrs. T.F. Mr. and Mrs. F,A, Golding, Mrs. J. Leslie Cox, Miss Annette Sin- clair.-20p wages paid may not be realistic in rural areas where the cost of living is lower, Philip Givens, Liberal tran- sportation critic accused the Provincial. Government of misleading the public over the escalating costs of the magnetic cushion go urban train system. Costs of the .go urban 2.5 mile test track at the Canadian National Exhibition have risen in recent weeks from $17 million to $25 million. Mr. Givens noted that the estimates for the system have risen 100 per cent. He indicated that the Government's argument that inflation is the villian is simply unacceptable. The Ontario Government's overall spending will rise 14,2 per cent this year from 7.3 billion dollars to 8.34 billion dollars. The two most expen- sive ministries are Health and Education with Budgets in- creasing about 10 per cent to 2.4 billion and 2.3 billion respectively. The General Government estimates include the spending of the Revenue, government services, and treasury ministries and .` the cabinet and manaement board expenses. The General Government estimates also include the projected spending of the office of Premier William Davis up $115,000 'to $1,216,000. The Lieutenant Governor's office up from $46,000 'to $61,000 and the office of the speaker up from $4.8 million to $6.5 million. The Ministry of Housing took its place in the government books with its first official spending estimates more than $226 million for the 1974-1975 year. The Housing Ministry estimates previously included in the ministry of revenue showed a drop from $237 million to $100 million in grants to Ontario Housing Cor- poration. The spending of OHC was large last year because it acquired land for the proposed North Pickering Development. In return for that decrease this year's estimates provide $19.8 million for the housing action program which housing minister, Sidney Handleman hopes will provide 30,000 moderately priced homes. Spending on com- munity planning increases from $8.3 million to $23.8 million, of this $2.5 million will go to planning in North Pickering. The ministry for the first time is providing money for com- munity and co-operative housing, about $4.1 million, The Ministry of Government Services which handles the Government's Internal Business and finds its Ministry's Accommodation, is estimated to cost $224, 792,000 this year, an increase from $179,568,700.00 last year. Of this, the government will spend almost $30 million buying land for itself more than 38 million leasing offices and more than 75 million in building construc- tion, The Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs Ministry shows in its $1.26 billion estimates the costs of the government's program of grants to municipalities $307 million up from $202 million estimated last year. The Ministry also budgeted for the first time to cover flood damage, excessive unem- ployment and other specific problem situations, The amount set aside is $14,765,000, . Of the total ministry budget about half $674 million goes in repayment of the Provinces Pulblic Debt, The Ministry of Revenue will spend $110.4 million this year almost twice last year's estimated spending. The dif- ference comes mostly from the guaranteed income programs for pensioners and the disabled and increased tax credits an- nounced in this year's budget. The changes will cost $50.5 million according to the estimates. The Ontario Medical Association misrepresented scientific evidence in an at- tempt to prove Optometrist should not be allowed to ad- minister diagnostic drugs, Albert Roy, Liberal Health critic said this week. Mr. Roy said he was appalled that the Medical Association would resort to misrepresentation and scared tactics to keep diagnostic drugs solely in the domain of eye doctors. He ex- plained that last month the association sent a brief to all members of the legislature at- tempting to show that Optical Anethetics and dilating drugs could have serious side effects and that Optometrists should not be allowed to use them. Mr. Roy, M.P.P. for Ottawa East, said there is over- whelming evidence that Op- tometrists with the proper care can use diagnostics drugs in the same way as eye doctors. Members of parliament have been receiving a number of enquiries about the guaranteed annual income system as it ap- plies to Senior Citizens which comes into effect July 1, 1974. Perhaps the matter could be clarified with the use of the following example: A single old aged pensioner who has no outside income receiving a maximum old age security and guaranteed income supplement of $191.06 will receive from the province $25.61 per month to bring the pension total to $216.67. The province is guaranteeing an in- come of $216.67 per month to each single pensioner. If the outside income plus the old age security and guaranteed income supplement equal or exceed $216.67 then the province will not make any further payments. However, if those three sources of income do not exceed $216.67, the province will make up the difference. To calculate a pensioner couple's new guaranteed in- come the same procedure as set out above is followed. Their new guaranteed income is $433.33 per month. At the moment a couple. that has no outside income receives a maximum old age security pen- sion plus the guaranteed in- come supplement of $364.49. To this will be added $68.84 to make the $433.33, As long as the outside income plus the old age security and the guaran- teed income supplement do not exceed $433.33 the province will make up the difference to that point.

Manager, James Murphy. Heading the list is I Do, I Do, the musical comedy which starred Robert Preston and Mary Martin in its recent Broadway run. It's based on the play, The Fourposter, and tells the story of a young couple's life together from honeymoon through paren- thood to old age, when they say a nostalgic farewell to, the house (and the fourposter bed) they knew as newlyweds. Mary, Mary is second on the season. It's about Contrary Mary who cannot resist making jokes - even when it threatens to break up her marriage. A thoroughly witty comedy by Don' t-Eat-The-Daisies' Jean Kerr, it had a Broadway run of three solid years. The third offering is The Rainmaker, a beautifully romantic comedy by N. Richard Nash, It's about a Western ranch family during a great drought and its experience with a fast-talking stranger who promises to make rain for $100. Number four on the Season is an old stage and movie classic, Stage Door, by George Kauf- man and Edna Ferber. A- theatrical panorama, it is a pleasing comedy-drama about a group of ";young' trying to "make it" on the stage. • For the first time on the Playhouse stage are two master writers of comedy. Noel Coward's masterpiece of British humour, Private Lives, will be the fifth offering and it will be shown in its original 30's mode. In the sixth slot is Neil Simon's super-hit, Last of the Red Hot Lovers. It's about Barney, a happily married man who suddenly wants to become a "swinger". What makes the play so funny is the fact that all Barney's attempts at conquest fail. Keeping on the marriage theme - which dominates the season's plays - is Marriage Go Round. It's called a hilarious diatribe on marriage and was a Broadway hit starring Claudette Colbert and Charles Boyer, According to its author, Leslie Stevens, it should be seen by people who are married - or-who might be. Rounding out the Season is the world famous temperance drama, Ten Nights in a Bar Room. When first produced more than a century ago, it sent its audiences into tears of despair; today's audiences, however, will probably react with tears of laughter. By William Pratt, Esq. (and adap- ted by James Murphy with music by Erna Van Daele), it is a melodrama with all the grand style of a Grand Era, the 1890's, ThS eight week Season of professional summer theatre opens on June 26 and will play The May meeting of Unit 3 of the firucefield UCW was held in the church, on May 8, The worship was led by Betty Graham and Myrtle Taylor.
