By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron-Middlesex
When the non-confidence vote
on the Throne Speech was taken
this week I was not present in the
House. I boycotted the vote by
absenting myself from the House,
as I considered it the best way of
showing my total displeasure
with the Government's restraint
program without favouring an
unnecessary election now.
Despite strong feeling in the
Huron-Middlesex riding that the
Government should be brought
down, I could not in good con-
science vote for an election now.
An election now could have
resulted in a majority win for
Premier William Davis and a
clear mandate for him to con-
tinue his inhumane and in-
sensitive restraint program.
Another reason for my decision
not to vote against the Govern-
ment was the fact that closure of
the Clinton Hospital is still under
active consideration by the
Premier and the Acting Minister
of Health and I did not want in
any way to affect the decision
which the present government
will make on this most important
matter. We have fought valiantly
to keep our hospitals and I did not
want to jeopardize our efforts at
this point in time.
We in Huron-Middlesex view
the Government's restraint
program as having little regard
for its human and social con-
sequences, as part of the
Government's program included
the closure of the Goderich
Psychiatric Hospital and the
announced closing of the Clinton
Hospital. It was apparent that the
majority of the Ontario elec-
torate did not think that an
election was necessary at this
time as it has been barely six
months since the last election.
People well realize the need for
restraint at this time and unless
the communities in which they
live have been victimized by such
programs as hospital closures,
they are prepared to endorse the
Government's stand against
inflation. Most people feel that a
minority government should be
given sufficient time and op-
portunity to establish its wor-
thiness to govern. Apart from
giving a minority government a
chance to work, people are very
cognizant of the costs involved in
running an election and did not
relish spending another ten
million dollars on an election that
would result in very little change.
Treasurer McKeough unveiled
a $12.5 billion budget, the deficit
projected to be $1.2 billion while
at the same time keeping
spending growth to 10.4 percent.
Introducing the budget Mr.
McKeough said that reducing the
rate of inflation remains the
number one objective for
economic policy in 1976, and
controls will be necessary until
Canada's cost and price per-
formance is brought back into
line with that of our trading
partners, particularly the United
States.
The following are some areas
affected by the budget.
The Ministry of Housing budget
includes a new initiative, the
downtown revitalization
program. It also extends for one
year the 0/1AP incentive grants
and loans to municipalities to
increase the supply of serviced
land. The 1976 budget of the

provides for the appointment of
46 additional judges and justices
of the peace. Legislation will be
introduced changing the GAINS
residency criteria, which is
presently 5 years in Canada. As
of April 7, 1976, new applicants
for GAINS Must meet the same 10
year residency criteria that is
required for federal OAS and GIS
benefits. I3y the end of 1976-1977
the complement of civil servants
will be reduced to 66,537, a
reduction of more than 4,200 from
the 1974 level. The 1976 estimates
provide for an increase of $255
million in grants to
municipalities a nd school boards,
a growth of 7.8 percent. The.
Treasurer said to re-establish a
better balance between the
charges for health services and
the cost of these services, he
proposed to increase OHIP
premiums by $5.00 per month
single and $10400 per month
family. As of May 1, 1976, the
charges for semi private ac-
commodation in hospitals will be
increased to $11.00 per day and
for private rooms $22.00 per day.
Effective immediately 01-UP
premium free assistance will be
broaden. Free coverage will be
extended to single persons having
taxable income of $1,543 or less
and families having taxable
income of $2,000 or less. Half-
premium rates will be available
to single persons haVing taxable
income between $1,534 and $2,000
and to families having taxable
incomes between $2,000 and
$3,000.
Effective April 20, 1976, there
will be an increase of 30 cents on
a 25 ounce bottle of spirits and 15
cents on a case of 24 bottles of
beer. Cigarettes will be increased
by 50 per package, effective
immediately and insurance
premiums tax has been increased
from 2 percent to 3 percent. Also
effective with the fiscal year's
ending April 6, 1976, the 12 per-
cent rate of tax for corporations,
will be reduced to 9 percent on
income eligible for the federal
small business deduction.
Mr. McKeough in conclusion
said that his budget is a
declaration of confidence, con-
fidence in the economy of the
Province, in the Ontario's
workers, its farmers, and its
enterprises and institutions.

"WHAT DID MRS. FISHER DO WITH HER HELMET AND HOCKEY STICK?" — That was the question on most minds during the mother-daughter basketball tournament held at Exeter Public School, recently. The
mothers won by a score of 16 to 12 but the daughters have questioned the objectivity of the referees, claim-
ing undue bias towards the mothers. A challenge has been issued forth by the daughters for a rematch.
IT WAS MOTHERS AGAINST DAUGHTERS — Recently at the Exeter Public School gym. As part of
Board of Education week, the mothers were encouraged to engage their daughters in a game of basketball.
Energy levels were high and the play fast and furious, as can be'seen by the above photo. Mothers won 16
to 12.
