A 90 day freeze has been implemented on the prices of gasoline, diesel fuel, propane and home heating oil until October 1st, announced the Premier William Davis in the House this week. During the price , freeze in Ontario, a, one-Man royal commis- sion will be established to examine price levels, hear arguments from the oil companies and recommend to the Provincial Government what it should do after the freeze. This move will fix wholesale and retail prices in the province at the levels that were charged on June 23rd, federal budget night, plus the excise tax of 10 cents a, gallon imposed by the new budget. To uphold the freeze the Petroleum Products. Price Freeze Act was given first reading in the' legislature this week and it provides for fines of up to $25,000 for corporations, and up to $2,000 for company officers or directors convicted of raising prices, refus- ing to supply information or knowingly supplying false informa- tion to the province. , As the province does not have a lot of inspectors to enforce the proposed law Mr. Davis said "the history of this kind of legislation has been that it's sort of enforced by the consumers." Liberal Leader Robert Nixon supported the Ontario Govern- ment's 90-day gasoline and fuel oil price freeze, but said "it should be extended into the winter season to help Offset home heating costs". Mr. Nixon also asked Mr. Davis in the House if he has any real concern about energy prices that he prevent Ontario Hydro's proposed rate increases of almost 30%, being reviewed by 'the Ontario Energy Board.' The Ontario Government an- nounced a program to stabilize income to producers of beef calves, and the plan will guarantee producers 50c a hundredweight for stocker calves this year. This guarantee is for the first year of a - five-year beef calf income stabiliza- tion program, but the government says the plan "must not be viewed 'as a guaranteed income scheme, 'rather it is a plan to stabilize the income of beef calf producers". High lot prices in Ontario Government sponsored Home Ownership Made Easy projects are under investigation, according to Housing Minister Donald Irvine. Mr. Irvine said some people taking part in the project are finding themselves unable to purchase the land 'on which their homeS are built., Mr. Irvine is going to make a policy statement in two weeks which will . determine how fair market value is placed on lot prices. Royal assent was given in the Legislature thiS week to 12 bills, including legislation to provide for the province's first ombudsrrian.

It is an accepted fact of provincial politics that, just as the attorney general must be a lawyer, the agricultural minister must be a farmer, and speculation at Queen's Park as to Stewart's successor has centred on three men - Environ- ment Minister William Newman, Robert Eaton, agriculture parlia- mentary assistant, and Lorne Henderson from Lambton. tleddings Anniversaries \I Free delivery to.
