Driver licences, with a photograph of the individual driver, were mentioned as a possibility, A bill to control rowdyism in Provincial Parks has been introduced, and the anticipated reduction in the number of beach patrols did not take place. The Government's long- awaited Farm Income Stabilization Plan was totally inadequate and unacceptable to Opposition Parties, who directed the Government to introduce improved legislation by the end of October. Many Ontario communities were ordered to shut-down their arenas because of structural defects. Eventually some help was forthcoming in this con- nection, through Wintario and a grant of 25 percent of total cost of repair and replacement under the Community Recreation Centres. Act. Legislation was passed making the wearing of seat-belts man- datory, and speed limits were reduced, to 60 mph on ex- pressways, 00 mph on other high- ways. In May the Government announced these measures have saved about one life a day since introduction. There has been much discussion of possibly energy supply shortages and price in- creases, In November, we were informed home-heating bills were expected to increase 13 percent to 29 percent. Ontario's Energy Minister condemned federal energy strategy, but both Opposition Parties condemned his alternative "blended" oil price. The %Legislatui;e's Com- mittee studying Hydro's 1976 rates predicted an increase of 34,5 percent in the cost of producing electric power next year. In connection with the Province's hdusing needs, the present Minister described the Government's $1,500 grant to first-time home buyers a "gross error", 'because no income ceilings were imposed for eligibility purposes, Legislation was passed limiting rent in- creases (except for rent-geared- to-income units) to 8 percent for at least a year, and requiring landlords to justify termination of leases. New home warranty legislation is intended to protect new house buyers against shoddy workmanship and materials. In 'the area of pollution, and as a result of Opposition pressure, United Asbestos in Matachewan was ordered to close because of unsafe asbestos-fibre readings, smelter lead emissions are to be controlled, and stringent limits are to be enforced for vinyl chloride pollution in industrial plants. Ontario is to -study the effects of mercury-contaminated fish on the health of two Kenora- area Indian bands, if the Indians agree. The Government has initiated courses to train government inspectors in the detection of potential health hazards from air and noise pollution. The Minister of Colleges an- nounced increased fees for "new foreign" students at colleges and universities. He also admitted that some community colleges had large investment portfolios. In his view, industrial training needs are not being met in Ontario, and a new . Industrial Training Council is to advise the Government about this problem, More judges were hired to alleviate the backlog of cases in our courts, and a Blind Persons Act would permit blind people to take their seeing eye dogs into restaurants and public places, Proposed changes in the estates law would give property rights to common law wives. The Ontario Food Council is to be expanded in its research and public information functions; anyone selling meat for human consumption from animals which had died from causes other than slaughtering risks suspension or loss of licence; a Consumer Warranty Bill has been in- troduced, but there will be delay in implementation until other provinces introduce similar legislation; there are now guidelines giving Ontario women the same access to credit as men. By JACK RIDDELL MP? Huron-Middlesex The main issues under discussion during the first year of this Legislature were connected with inflation arid the Ontario Government's restraint programme, These have tended to overshadow other matters, Over the past twelve months, considerable attention has been focused on "law and order", The Ombudsman ordered an in- vestigation of prison conditions, and the Attorney-General an- nounced a crack-down on hockey game violence and people who drink and drive. An all-Party NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING TO: Residents of the Townships of McGillivray, West Williams and the Town of Parkhill The Northwest Middlesex Planning Board is considering two draft amendments to the present Official Plan, AMENDMENT NO, 1 Amendment No. 1 will affect tWo of the policies for severances in the rural area. First, the Official Plan now allows a bonafide farmer to sever a lot for a son or daughter assisting with the farm operation. The effect of Amendment No. 1 would require a farmer who now wishes to sever a lot for a son or daughter to show that the severance would not result or lead to the creation of a less viable or non-viable farm and that the son or daughter will live on the lot and assist the farm operation. The farmer must also show that the farm is of a size and type to require on-site labour and that alternatives to the severance have been investigated. The second change in the severance policy affects surplus farm dwellings. The Official Plan now allows a bonafide farmer to sever a surplus farm house that has been con- solidated into one holding. If the Amendment to the Plan is approved the severance of,surplus farm houses will no longer be permitted, AMENDMENT NO, 2 Amendment No. 2 will affect ail existing lots in the rural area with an area between 15,000 square feet and fifty (50) acres. The present Official Plan policy allows existing lots in the rural area with an area of two (2) acres or less to be used as one single-family dwelling per lot. If Amendment No, 2 is ap- proved, existing lots with on area from 15,000 square feet to fifty (50) acres could be used for one single-family dwelling per lot. ,Residents of the Northwest Middlesex Planning Area are en-- couraged to participate with the Planning Board in reaching a decision which will affect their area.

Meanwhile there has been a long- drawn-out dispute, featuring Housing Minister John Rhodes and the Ombudsman, on the subject of expropriated property in the area. We also learned that virtually anyone can purchase up to 100 pounds in dynamite at a local hardware store or other licensed outlet; that the Government is collecting information on elec- trically-powered cars and has spent some $6 million on preliminary designs for a suc- cessor to the ill-fated Krauss- Maffei magnetic cushion train. ..
