The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-02-23, Page 10The highlight of the week's session was the presentation ot the budget by Provincial Treas- urer Charles MacNaughton. Mr. MacNaughton, in pre- seining his first budget since his appointment last fall, announc- ed huge new spending plans for education and health and used a record $162 million dollar de- ficit to avoid any new tax in- creases. Carrying charges on the pro- vincial debt, estimated at $62 million last year, will climb to nearly $74 million in the next fiscal year, an increase of more than $11 million. The budget forecast total Government expenditures in the coming fiscal year of $2,193, - 000,000, the first time in his- tory that Ontario's spending has topped $2 billion. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon stated that the budget failed to lighten the load of education costs on local taxpayers. He said that the budget would lead to sharp increases in municipal taxes for - total $1.1 billion.

Four charges were laid under the Li- quor Control Act and eleven traffic warnings were issued. half of every tax dollar on edu- cation. At the moment, taking into account the increased grants to education, the province bears roughly half the cost of educa- tion. Except for some federal participation, the other half has to be borne by the municipali- ties. Mr. MacNaughton predicted that the economic growth of the province would slow down during 1967-68 fiscal year. Gaunt proposes Centralia become training centre Liberal MPP Murray Gaunt (Huron-Bruce) proposed in the Ontario legislature last week that the Centralia Air Force base be handed over to provin- cial authorities for use as an adult training centre for the mentally retarded. Speaking during the debate on the speech from the throne, Mr. Gaunt said that the base has been closed down in the process of unification, bringing about "serious repercussions so far as the economy of that par- ticular region goes." He told the legislature that since the buildings on the base are suitable for workshops, rec- reational activities and living accommodations for staff and retardees, he has asked the De- partment of Education to ex- plore the idea of establishing such a centre. In the same speech, Mr. Gaunt called for the creation of a well-supervised and controll- ed system of pesticide control to ensure a minimum danger to the public. Outlining the public hazard of increasingly concentrated types of pesticides, the Liberal agriculture critic proposed that the Ontario Pesticides Act be amended to provide that pesti- cides be sold only through reg- istered outlets. "At the same time", Mr. Gaunt said, ''the Department of Health should take upon itself immediately to increase the staff of the field inspection branch because it is rather obvious that six people for (he entire province just can- not do tile job." "Pesticides have made a great contribution to the agri- cultural industry and I do not want to underestimate them; they have become an essential factor in food production. But more has to be done by the government before an outraged public demands the complete withdrawal of many of these chemicals." Mr. Gaunt said there is no reason for alarm at the ma , merit. "But if the use of pesti- cides is relatively unrestricted, public health is endangered and ,more drastic measures such as outright banning have to be un- dertaken," ,Page 2 Winghatn Advat 'e,,Tirnes, Thursday, Feb, i3, 1967 Norman Coultes chairman of Community Centre Bd. The Ilium' County Historical Society now has an Archives Room in the Pioneer Museum at Goderich. In hundreds of Huron County homes there are old papers, documentary sales books, bills of sale, books, photographs and other articles which were used by the early Huron settlers and belong to past history. Are you harboring any of these? If so, the society would like to know about them so that they may be preserved. For the purpose of bringing together such material in one place, the Historical Society will open the Archives Room to receive such donations on Fri- day, March :3, and Friday, March 17, horn 1,30 to 4 in the BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. HURON-BRUCE Report from Queen's Park afternoons. The entrance is on Bruce Street, just east of North Street in Goderich. The Huron Historical Society is a private, non-profit group of volunteers whose services are freely given to research and the collection and preservation of stories about the county's pio- neers and their descendants. The research in such an undertaking is gigantic. The work is now being done quietly and effi- ciently, without remuneration, by this group of people who be- lieve that the gathering and safe-keeping of historical data is of paramount importance for future generations. The Society asks for your help in this centennial year.
