BY HELEN ALLEN
HE LOVES SPORTS
Billy , 8, wants to be adopted so he will have a family of his
own. He is normally a happy boy with an agreeable personality.
Anglo Saxon in descent, he is sturdy and active, and has blonde
hair, blue eyes and fair skin.' He is in excellent health and is
doing average work in Grade 2.
Billy enjoys sports, both as player and spectator. He plays
hockey and baseball, and goes to many games to cheer on the
older boys in his foster home. He gets involved in camping.
Inquisitive Billy wants to find out how things work.
Billy likes to be helpful. When anybody in his foster family has
chores to do, Billy is likely to be right there offering assistance.
A warm, loving active family, preferably where Billy will be
the youngest child, is needed for this engaging youngster.
To inquire about adopting Billy, please write to Today's
Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information,
please contact y our local Children's Aid Society.

Seaforth
The session is finally over after
a stormy confrontation between
the Opposition and the Govern-
ment on Bill 274, the Education
Bill which will impose compulsory
arbitration to deal with the mass
resignations of teachers in the 15
areas where the scool boards and
the teachers have not been able to
come to terms.
After lengthy debate in the
Legislature and a demonstration
of some 30,000 teachers the
Government decided not to
proceed with the Bill if the
teachers would agree to change
the effective date of their
resignations from December 31st
to January 31st. This agreement
was finalized and announced by
the Minister of Education, Tom
Wells. The Legislature may be
called back if the negotiations are
not progressing satisfactorily.
Perhaps, by way of summary I
should recap some of the
highlights of this Session.
First, there was the energy tax
introduced by Treasurer, John
White but later withdrawn.
However, he did tack on an extra
2% sales tax.
The Government proclaimed its
controversial Denture Therapist
Act setting up a new dental
worker to fabricate dentures only
under the supervision of a
dentist. Only 87 denture
thereapists have been licenced
under the new Act and the
denturists are continuing to
operate in defiance -of the law.
An important topic of
discussion in the Ministry of
Consumer and Commercial
Affairs next session will be the
Planning.
for a
better
tomorrow.
•
Green Paper • on' Consumer
Product Warranties in Ontario.
The Ministry will be holding
forums to hear the views of
consumers, retailers and
manufacturers on the proposals in
the Report.
The Ministry is also developing
a Fair Practices Act designed to
monitor and regulate food pricing
practices, misleading and
artificial shortages.
The minimum wage as of
January 1st will be $2.00 per
hour, $2.25 for construction
workers, and $1.65 for students.
A new Ministry of Housing was
created with. Robert Welch'
appointed as Minister.
During the last year the
Government created five more
regional municipalities, Durham,
Peel, Haldimand Norfolk,
Hamilton Wentworth and Halton.
The total number of Bills
passed this Session was 207.
Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year to everyone.
