MPP Huron-Middlesex
On Tuesday of last week the
Third Session of the Thirtieth
,Ontario Parliament opened, with
something less than the usual
pomp and ceremony — even that
has fallen under the axe of the
government's restraint
programme.
The traditional Speech from
the Throne was comparatively
short, and it seems clear that the
main thrust of the Government's
policies for the forthcoming
session will come in the
Provincial Budget. Considerable
emphasis was placed on the need
to battle inflation and the
recognition that we must face
critical economic realities.
Our agriculture industry is
vital to provincial economic
stability and future food
production, and I welcome the
news that the Government in-
tends to introduce legislation to
establish a voluntary farm in-
come stabilization plan, which
will supplement the federal
government's plan. This
programme has been endorsed
and promoted by the Federation
of Agriculture and is sure to be of
interest to the farming com-
munity.
The increase in provincial
funds transferred to the
municipal sector will be 8 percent
over the amount transferred last
year, and the Government has
made it clear that municipalities
and school boards are to be
responsible for ordering their
priorities, with a view to an ac-
ceptable municipal tax load,
municipal services and local
needs.
Apparently the role of the
Ontario Food Council is to be
expanded in its research and
public information functions, and
stricter meat inspection, im-
proved livestock and poultry
protection are to be enforced —
prompted no doubt by, the Quebec
meat scandals.
More judges are to be hired to
alleviate the backlog of cases in
all levels of courts, and a Blind
Persons' Rights Act will permit
blind people to take their seeing
eye dogs into restaurants and
public places. Also changes in
estates law will give property
rights to common law wives.
After many years of con-
sultation and consideration the
Province is now going to in-
troduce a New Home Warranties

Plan which will protect buyers
against poor workmanship,
Apparently the government has
decided to abandon its election
promise of tax credits to lower
high mortgage interest rates.
This suggestion was originally
Made by Premier Davis during
last September's election
campaign, and under the
Proposal the governm6nt would
have given a tax credit allowance
of up to $500 a year to reduce
interest charges on residential
mortgages over 101/4 percent.
Instead, the government has
opted for the proposed home
warranty plan.

How well do I remember
Way back in '76
When the hydro went off in
Greenway
And we were in a h--- of a fix.
It all began late Tuesday night
When we were in our night-gown
The winds, they blew — the
thunder rolled r
And the rain and the sleet came
down.
The power was off, 'twas plain to
see
When the lightning flashed on the
door,
So into those pants, a candle to
light
And'hike for the lower floor.
'Twas no surprise for there to see
Puddles, one had to jump.
To use your head, 'twas another
thing
Because now, the pump didn't
sump.
You see, there was no telephone
'Cause it went out with the light.
So all one could do was start to
bale
And work with all your might.
When morning came, a sight to
behold
As one stepped outside the door,
'Twas beautiful, one must admit
For there were icicles galore.
But the morning stillness was
shattered
With the sound of limbs all
around
A crackling here and a crackling
there
And one's footsteps crunching the
ground.
It soon became quite evident
A catastrophe, this was to be.
driver education, with special
reference to alcohol-related
driving offences, particularly by
young people,
The Government expressed
concern about the prospect of
energy supply shortages and
price increases. It is the intention
to maintain a policy of protecting
the consuming public and in-
dustrial users in Ontario from
energy shortages, while making
every effort, short of sub-
sidization, to cushion the effects
of higher energy prices. A
programme is to be initiated to
upgrade insulation and energy
conservation features in public
buildings, including hospitals and
educational facilities. New
buildings are to be subject to
higher thermal performance
standards.
A day or two? Would be much
more
'Fore we would have 'lectricity.
And so by now, 'twas no surprise
When neighbours became much
more.
Such a kindred spirit one never
saw
Sinch Noah closed the door.
Gasoline motors pumping water
Freezers loaded on a truck
Fireplace heat for those who
wished
And no one charging a buck,
The days and nights, they slowly
went
For some, they added to seven.
Before the lights came on again
'Twas then it seemed like heaven.
A tribute to the hydro crew
Was surely due to them
As they replaced each pole and
wire
And scattered every limb.
And now that it's all over
And I come to the end of this
rhyme •
Let it teach us a lesson, right here
and now
"Be better prepared, next time."

Flowers in the United Church

be greatly missed in many of the
