All the clamour to keep up with the cost of inflation is not really fair. If the cost of food rises by ten percent, this means that the pensioners' cost of living in- creases by the whole ten percent, for that is where his disposable income goes. For a member of parliament, who makes $18,000, his food cost will go up the same ten percent, but this applies only to, say one third of his income, or three and one third of one percent, That's quite a difference. Page 10 TimeS-Acivecate, December 31, 1974 farm building restrictions and on food purchasing were done by the OFA research department. It shows that in 1960 the food purchased across the country was 21.6 percent of disposable income. This per- centage dropped steadily to its lowest point in 1971 when it was 17.4 percent. After this it began rising to 15.2 percent in 1973,stillwell below all years before 1968, It cost more to eat in restaurants than to eat at home. Yet the money spent to eat out rose from 15 to 18 percent of the disposable income.

SMITH CONSTRUCTION P.O. Box 809 SEAFORTH HAROLD SMITH: 527.1079 WAYNE SMITH: 2622121 "FREE ESTIMATES" By JACK RIDDELL. M.P.P, Supplementary estimates providing for the spending of an additional $496 million by the provincial government in the current financial year were presented to the Legislature this week. They show that the province will need that amount over and above the 8.3 billion listed in the April budget to pay for its various programs until the end of March 1975. Much of the increased spending is by the Health and Education Ministries. The total cash deficit put at $847 million on October 31st could rise to about $900 million by the end of the year according to some Treasury estimates. A new Ministry of Culture and Recreation is to be established by the Ontario Government. Legislation is expected soon to protect buildings that are of historic or architectural value. The Ministry of Culture and Recreation will inherit certain responsibilities from the established College and Universities and Community and Social Services Ministries. The Education Act 1974 was passed this week and among its 274 sections is section 49 which permits parents of children at- tending a public or secondary school to visit the schoq at any time, The same privilege is ex- tended to Members of Parliament and Clergymen to visit any school within their constituency or district as the case may be. The idea behind this is that parents do have the right to visit educational facilities where their children are being educated and for which they are paying. Beer and soft dfink cans with null tab openers will be replaced by push ppen cans within a year according to Environment Minister Wm. Newman, , the environmentalists are unhappy, however that he refused to ban the cans entirely. Mr. Newman issued a statement of policy in tabling the 1258 page final report of the Solid Waste Task Force in the Legislature. What Mr. Newman will not accept are the recommendations in the report that retailers be required PI carry returnable soft drink containers of the same brands and sizes they now carry in non- returnables and the suggestion that deposits on beer bottles be increased. Over 96 percent of beer bottles are returned now. Mr, Newman said the Government position on banning non returnable containers "blends positive improvements to our environment with the minimum disruption to em- ployment, investment and minimum additional cost to the consumer." He further went on to say that next year he intended to sit down with the industry and work it out. The House adjourned this week for the Christmas recess. snowmobiler is injured, Gordon Hill, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, said today. The new legislation, introduced in the Ontario Legislature early this month, is a tough piece of legislation that deserves to be passed, Hill says. OFA strongly advocated such protection before the Legislature's Select Committee on motorized snow vehicles and all-terrain vehicles. "We hope the Bill won't be watered down on second reading which is expected next week," Hill says. Under Bill 161 a snowmobiler will be required to obtain written permission from the owner or occupier private property before he enters that property, Failure to obtain written permission will represent a provincial offence of trespass in the absence of any lawful excuse. Upon request of the property owner or occupier the snowmobile operator will be required to stop, identify himself, and produce his licence as well as written permission to cross the property. Where a complaint of trespass. is made, the Crown will assume responsibility for investigation and prosecution. The new legislation will ensure that a property owner or tenant is not liable for injury to a snowmobiler who is either a trespasser or a tolerated, but uninvited, person. The latter might have been given verbal permission to cross the land but not-an.invited or paying guest. Any snowmobiler who trespasses will be liable to a fine of up to $500. "From now on a snowmobiler had better know where he is at all times," Hill says. "The old ex- cuse of saying he did not know he was on private property, won't wash any longer." Weecoine. Contemplating changes in By ADRIAN VOS We are pleased to note that the Ontario Government at last is lirtening to farmers' complaints that, while the erection of livestock buildings is limited in regard to distance to dwellings, no limit is placed on the erection of dwellings in relation to distance to livestock buildings. Some farms were limited in expansion of their operations because someone sold a piece of land and the buyer put up a house, and then started com- plaining about the good country air not being agreeable with his city nostrils. Change is on the way, the Ontario government is drafting legislation to make a' house subject to the same regulations as a livestock unit. It took a long time, as is usual with govern- ments, but many a farmer will feel more secure in the knowledge that his livelihood is no longer threatened by this kind of intrusion.
