The recently imposed. price ceilings for alcoholic beverages served at certain special occasion permit functions have been revoked. The regulations limiting the total number of social (non- profit) and fund raising. permits issued to a group in. A GIFT OF FINE JEWELLERY is a special gift to be treasured forever ! Choose your Christmas gift for that Special Person today at Earl Camp- r bell Jeweller. We will gladly hold it until that Special Day. any one year, have also been revolted. These regulations to the Liquor Licence Act took effect July 1st, 1980. They were intended to. curb certain abuses. of Special, Occasion Permits issued for non fund raising functions particularly the practice of some individuals who were making a personal profit on the sale of alcoholic beverages at Social or non- profit functions, Rowever, since fund raising by Special Occasion . Permit evening is an in- tergral part of the financing of community organizations, it was not clearly understood, by these organizations that. they would continue to operate without any price controls or other restric- tions. The intent was to eliminate the abusers .so that • the fundraising organizations could maximize the profit from their evening and . the regulations did accomplish this but because of confusion and a delivery system that could not cope with the complexities of the fund raising organizations, a severe burden was placed these groups. Due to Opposition pressure in the Legislature this burden was lifted. The Honourable Lorne Maeck, Minister of Revenue, introduced an amendment to the Assessment Act which would postpone to Decem- ber, 1981, the return of Assessments at full market value, across the Province. The Bill will allow the Government to continuewith. the Section 86, Reassessment Program, which has been implemented in 108 muni- cipalities to date., Approximately 110. more municipalities will be reassessed under section 86, later this year for 1981 taxation purposes,. In addition the Minister is 'proposing in this bill, ad- ministration amendments to further clarify and update certain operating provisions within the Assessment Act. There has been con- siderable debate on a government bill "The Dog Owner's Liability Act" which would hold a' dog's owner liable for dog-bite damages. The Act interprets owner to include someone "who possesses or har- bours" the dog, and if the .owner is a minor,. liability extends to the person responsible for custody. The liability of the owner does not depend upon negligence and the common law principle of requiring foreknowledge of a dog's viciousness. However, the court can reduce damages by the extent to which the victim's ownfault or negligence contributed to an Attack, One major extenuating circumstance is outlined: an, owner isn't liable for his. dog's attack on a person who is on the owner's property with "the intention of committing, or in the commission of a criminal act". A Private . Member's Bill on retirement has received second reading, or approval in principle. Liberal and. Conservative Members combined to give approval. New Democrats had sworn to veto 'the Bill but failed to rally enough Members. The Bill would prohibit employers from requiring employees to join pension or superannuation plans or any other employee benefit fund which obliges them to retire before 70 where the only reason for retirement is having attained a certain age. At present retirement age in pension plans is normally 65, although some employee groups have bargained for earlier retirement, often based on years of service. By JOY 'SCHEIFELE AILSA CRAIG The East Williams boys' volleyball team fought valiantly last Tuesday but lost the battle to Homedale in the Remembrance Day Tournament held at East Williams. Ten schools participated in the all day round robin series and came from Tillsonburg, Sarnia, St. Thomas and London as well as from within Middlesex County. In the semi-finals Homedale defeated Parkhill West Williams with 15-6 and 15-7 scores while East Williams took Hickson with scores of 15-7 and 15-8. The final game was hard fought with all the players feeling the pressures of a long day but giving it all they had right to the final point. The games ended with Homedale on top with 15-10 and 15-11. Teacher Mr. Welshman of East Williams Memorial School congratulated all the players on their fine efforts and presented the Homedale boys with the trophy and each of the runners up with medals A., Several parents took ad- vantage of the holiday and "TUF-N- TIDY MATS" The all weather mat that works almost everywhere.

NOW... at Whiting's Aecording to the explanatory notes of the legislation, the. purpose is to prevent people being forced to retire before 70 "where, the person is willing and capable of performing his or her job". A governeznent spokesman indicated that it has not yet been decided whether the legislation should be allowed to become law or whether the Minister of Labour will supersede it with similar legislation. The legislation is con- sidered timely for two reasons: an increasing portion of the population is of retirement age, placing a heavy burden on pension plans, and forcing people who want to work into retirement is a form of discrimination During the debate, David Peterson (Lib. London Centre) warned of the overloading of the pension plans, and the loss of skilled people in the work force. "In five or six years, when the labour situation changes in this province, we are going to be begging these people to work." Several consulting firms have been hired by the Ministry of the Environment to investigate 47 privately owned industrial waste sites across Ontario. This study is in addition to a review of 192 old municipal garbage dumps which are already being checked out to determine whether they pose a danger to public health. According to a list of the privately owned sites provided by the Ministry, 15 of the sites are still operational. The in- vestigation will involve taking an inventory of the waste desposited into the sites, Total cost of the project is about $140,000. In this connection, it seems clear that the Ministry of the Environment knew a Thorold company was ac- cepting metallic sludge at its landfill site beyond a certain time despite protests to the contrary. Liberal Leader Stuart Sthith produced a letter in the Legislature which in- dicated that Woodington Systems Inc. a subsidiary of Walker Bros, Quarries Ltd. had warned the Ministry that unless it received contrary instructions waste from Ford Motor Co. of Canada Ltd., among others, would continue to be accepted. gulnk, ou, VOTERS OF EXETER Your support at the polls in the recent election is greatly ap- preciated.
