Murray, R.R.5, Seaforth 345-2172 CALL AN AGENT OR THE OFFICE By Murray Gaunt M.F.P. Attorney General. Roy McMurtry is proposing to raise the minimum ago for arriage from 14 to 16. The age needs to be raised, lie said, because the main reason for its being so low is to permit marriages as a way to avoid births of illegitimate children. There are those who are pushing to have the age raised to 18, but the Attorney General feels the age cannot be raised above 16, at which point children have the right to withdraw from the family home. This matter is part of a package of family law currently before the Legislative Committee on. Justice, and will become law before Christmas. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith said this week that Ontario is handing over a $10 million public asset to a U.S. controlled company. The Government recently issued licences to the U.S. controlled Greyhound Lines of Canada Ltd. for direct routes between Toronto and Sudbury, and Toronto and Buffalo. Previously these routes were handled exclusively by Gray Coach Ltd, a company owned entirely by the Toronto Transit Commission, and were the most profitable routes the company had. Because of this Gray Coach was able to subsidize service on other routes that were less profitable or showed losses, such as service to Owen Sound and other parts of Western Ontario. Since Gray Coach now has competition on its most profitable runs, it said it could no longer provide the same service to Western Ontario. The Government has come under severe pressure to reverse the decision, with the Liberal Party asking for an emergency debate on the matter. Meanwhile, following the Cabinet meeting in mid-week, Transportation. Minister James Snow announced that he was asking the Ontario Highway Transport Board to reconsider the deciSion. Mr. Snow said the Board would not conduct a re-hearing of the case, but would extend its previous hear ing ,to deal with two important factors it apparently didn't take into account before. These are the financial impact on Gray Coach if it loses the profitable routes, and whether Gray Coach would have to cut service on shorter routes to smaller centres as a result. On the latter point Gray Coach has already announced cuts. A bill to regulate funeral directors and their services in Ontario received approval in principle this week. The bill would set up committees to deal with complaints from 'the 'public. The.
