At present, under the current program, drainage is being maintained or im- proved on about 200,000 acres every year. About one third of the money comes from Provincial loans. Therefore, for 1980.81, he is recommending new guidelines for use by Municipal Councils. These guidelines are - Initial drainage allocations will be an- nounced following the Treasurer's budget in the spring. They will be based on the applications received over the previous three years. A municipality may apply for a re-allocation of funds for tile drainage debentures based on the applications received by the Municinalitv Tile drains will change 93/4V (.• prior to August 31, each year. As in previous years, applications are to be based on not more than 75 percent of the estimated cost of the project, up to a maximum for 1980-81 of $200 per acre, tiled. The maximum amount any one farmer may receive in loans in one year is $10,000 and the maximum cumulative loan for a farmer is not to exceed $40,000. These criteria, he said, have been designed to ensure that as many farmers as possible will be able to take advantage of the program, The Attorney General has recently introduced legislation to replace the Petty Trespass Act, which provides more protection for farmers against damage suits from people trespassing on their land. Bill 202, An Act respecting Occupiers' Liability has two sections which you will no doubt find particularly in- teresting. 3(1) An Occupier of premises owes a duty to take such care, as in all the cir- cumstances of the case is reasonable, to see that persons entering on the premises, and the property brought on the premises by those persons, are reasonably safe while on the premises. 4(1) The duty of care provided for in Subsection 1 of Section 3 does not apply in respect of risks willingly assumed by the person who enters on the premises but in that case the occupier owes a duty to the person not to create a danger with the deliberate intent of doing harm or damage to the person or his property and to not act with reckless disregard of the presence of the person or his property. Bill 203, An Act to protect against Trespass to Property, provides more effective penalties for trespass and provides for a system whereby an owner can give a limited right of entry to permit recreational activity. The Bill respecting Occupiers' Liability limits the liability of the owner in such cases. The proposed rights bill for handicapped people has run into considerable opposition, and its fate is very uncertain at the present time. Various groups representing han- dicapped people have op- posed the legislation because it singles them out for special treatment, a form of discrimination. It has been charged that the government chose to introduce a separate bill because it didn't want to re-open the Human Rights Act. Amending that Act to cover handicapped people would leave government open to lobbying from other groups, especially the homosexual rights com- munity, which would want a section banning discrimination based on sexual preference. There is a possibility that amendments covering handicapped people will have to wait to be included with those dealing with mandatory retirement age and pensions, which may result from studies currently under way. The Minister of Labour stated that it's "only realistic to recognize the legislative process will be protracted. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith has been hammering away at the Minister of Energy, Robert Welch, to get natural gas into areas of Ontario where it is lacking at present. During an emergency debate on home heating oil, he told the Minister that Ontario has been sitting on its hands instead of converting to natural gas, expanding gas lines into various com- munities and across various boundaries within the Province." Already in Ontario, 19,650 homes have switched to natural gas this year, compared to 8,600 last year. The forecast for next year in Ontario is 26,500 con- versions, but brisk demand has meant that manufac- turers of conversion kits By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE A good crowd attended the annual Sunday School Concert Saturday evening in the church basement. Superintendent Robert Hume welcomed everyone and was the chairman for the evening. The kindergarten class did a number about candles. Their teachers are Miss Agnes Bray and Mrs. Lorne Ballantyne. Mr. Ross Hargreaves spoke a few words. The Primary Class did a number "Christmas In Other Land- s." Their teachers are Mrs. Rick Parker, Mrs. David Passmore, The Young People's and the in- termediate class did the Styles of 1980 which were quite humorous. A sing-song with Mrs. Murray Dawson and Mrs. Rick Parker leading and Mrs. Reg Hodgert ac- companing on the piano was enjoyed. A Christmas play by the Junior Class of which Mrs. John Pym and Mrs. George Kellett are the teachers. A play No Silent Night by the young people and in- termediate classes of which Mrs. Murray Dawson and Jeff Davis are the teachers. Robert Hume read the story Twas the Night before Christmas to the younger classes, as he finished the story Santa Claus arrived and distributed the gifts from a pretty decorated tree, which brought an enjoyable evening to a close. Church service Sunday morning at the regular church service Pastor Ross Hargreaves lit another candle in the Advent Wreath. The choir sang a number and also led in a sing song of Christmas music. Pastor Ross Hargreaves told the children the story of the Three Wise Men. Instead of a sermon the Young People's Class put on a Drama "The Ornament which was well given. Those taking part were Robert Bray, Pat Hodgert, Scott Hodgert, Cheryl Stewart and Paul Stewart. Christmas news Mr. and Mrs. Ken Duncan, Floyd and Shiela, Mr. and Mrs. Don Richardson, Erin and Brian, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Duncan expect to have Christmas dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Russell Miller of Staffa. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Duncan "have been unable to meet the demand". Stuart Smith told the Minister that gas companies are discouraging new con- version requests until the end of January because they are swamped with people trying to convert. David Peterson (Lib. London Centre) stated that some firms such as Unon Gas cause serious difficulties for people wanting to convert to natural gas. "They will not pump out the oil. They will not take out the oil tanks people have in their homes. They will provide no trade-in value for perfectly good oil furnaces." The Minister of Energy has condemned the federal government's decision to approve extensive natural gas exports to the U.S. calling the decision premature and inap- propriate. Canadians could be hurt because domestic natural gas prices will rise as exports deplete our conventional reserves. expect to have Christmas supper with the former's mother Mrs. Alex Duncan of Exeter. Mr. and Mrs. Don Richardson and family expect to enjoy Christmas supper with the Richardson family at Kirkton-Woodham Community Centre. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Passmore expect to have Sunday dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Rick Mellenger, Hensall.

Many people called at the Hopper-Hockey Funeral Home Exeter last week where they paid their respect to the late William Routley of Elimville. The flowers in the church Sunday were placed there by the family. The sympathy of this community is extended to Mrs. Routly and family. Many people called at the Hopper Hockey Funeral Holm over the week-end to pay their respect to the late Mrs. Alvin (Nora) Cottle of Mitchell. The sympathy of the community is extended to Alvin Cottle and family. Mr. and Mrs. William Roh- de called on Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Hanna of London, Friday.

It is to be a pot luck supper. Everyone is invited. Such a consequence will force the use of higher priced frontier reserves, and Canadians should be com- pensated for the higher prices they will have to pay. He told the Legislature that he did not believe Ottawa's or the National Energy Board's view of possible heating oil shortages this winter. Based on his own .consultations with the major oil companies, he had concluded there would be no shortages this winter, barring unforeseen cir- cumstances. Opposition parties have attacked the government for not expressing its outrage with Ottawa over the gas exports until after a com- mitment had been made. In defence, the Energy Minister, Mr. Welch, said the government had clearly opposed natural gas exports until two criteria are met: that a surplus has been determined and a complete national energy plan is established. While Stuart Smith did not dispute the point, he attacked the government for even giving credence to the concept of a natural gas surplus, saying that all Canada's natural gas reserves should be kept for the future. He also questioned the Minister's apparent selec- tive reliance on NEB figures when discussing potential surpluses, one day acknowledging that he did not trust NEB data with respect to heating oil sup- plies and the next approving the Board's calculation of a national surplus figure on exports based on that. /1111111111111111=11111•111111111111111ft Concert popular at Thames Road Starts at...
