By JACK RIDDELL, MPP
In the preliminary report
of p study of the province's
high school system, Duncan
Green has recommended
that all high school
programmes be squeezed
into a four-year curriculum
by 1988, thus putting an end
to Grade 13.
Ontario is the only
province in Canada which
continues to have five years
of high school, even though
students from other
provinces can enrol in
Ontario's colleges and
universities without having
to take remedial courses.
This report is one of a
number of similar studies
undertaken by the Govern-
ment since 1950; most of
them have also recom-
mended. the phasing -out of
Grade 13 because it is con-
sidered unnecessary. During
the recent provincial elec-
tion campaign, Liberal
Leader Stuart Smith also
made a similar suggestion.
So far, Education Minister
Bette Stephenson has
refused to indicate her
reaction to the idea. She says
she's waiting for the
educational community to
express their opinions.
Industry Minister Larry
Grossman has revealed that
the Government plans to
give another $20 million this
year to Ontario's pulp and
paper industry to help
modernize its plants.
Grossman told the
Legislature that these funds
are the last in a $120 million
grant programme to seven
forestry companies, begun in
1979 - even though a study
prepared for a Government
Royal Commission con-
cluded last year that the
grants are not necessary.
The Industry Minister
discounted that study, and
claimed that if it weren't for
the provincial grants, a total
of $1.5 billion in plant
renovations "simply would
not have happened." Nearly
all of -Ontario's pulp and
paper companies have
recorded significant profits
in the last three years.
A respected independent
Toronto newsletter, has
claimed in its most recent
issue that the Ontario
Securities Commission had
"a record of consistent
failure" in acting as a
watchdog over the collapse
of Astra Trust and Re -Mor
Investments Ltd. Hundreds
of Ontarians - many of them
senior citizens -lost their life
savings when the two firms
went bankrupt in 1980.

Benn also chipped in with

Jack's Jottings
Consider abolishing. grade 1 3
Even though the OSC
began investigating
Astra Re -Mor in 1978, it
apparently dragged its heel
while- the principle director
of the companies was
making questionable ex-
penditures with company
assets.
The Ontario Liberal Party
has been urging the
Government to reconvene
the Legislative Committee's
investigation into the entire
Astra Re -Mor scandal, but
the Government has so far
refused.
Despite assurances during
the recent election campaign
that the Government had no
intention of making any
changes to the province's
rent review system, Premier
Davis has told the
Legislature that he is "not
married" to the present 6
percent ceiling on rent in-
creases. Davis also told
reporters that he never
mentioned a specific ceiling
figure when he made his
election pledge.
Rent review was brought
into force in Ontario in the
mid -1970's, when rising in-
flation and land speculation
was forcing massive in-
creases in rent levels. Land
developers and apartment
owners have been critical of
the programme, in which
tenants can force landlords
to justify demands for rent
increases above 6 percent to
a Rent Review Board.
Premier 'Davis has still
denied that his cabinet has
considered raising the
ceiling, but there is
speculation that if inflation
continues to rise, a change
may come this fall.
There is also speculation
at Queen's Park that the
Government will raise OHIP
rates for all subscribers in
the Provincial Budget on
May 19. The Health Minister
recently came to ; an
agreement with the
province's doctors, in which
OHIP fees will go up by 14.75
percent.
As a result the total bill for
OHIP services will go up by
about $175 million, and the

Two more join
Ont. press group
Two more weekly
newspapers --. the
Kapuskasing Northern
Times and the Perth Courier
become member
newspapers of the Ontario
Press Council on May 1,
chairman Davidson Dunton
has announced. They are the
third and fourth weekly
newspapers to decide this
year to participate in the
council.
Their decisions brings to
nine the number of weekly
members. The Exeter
Times -Advocate and the St.
Marys Journal -Argus
became Council member
newspapers on April 1. join-
ing the following five who
have been in the Council for
years: Alliston Herald,
Orangeville Citizen.
Shelburne Free Press and
Economist. Smiths Falls
Record News. and Stitsville
News.
Wayne Green. general
manager of The Northern
Times. said in applying for
membership that "it is our
hope that weekly participa-
tion in the Council will be
much stronger than it has
been."
Dunton warmly welcomed
both newspapers as
members on the Council's
behalf.
"The addition of new
member newspapers,
whether daily or weekly.
holds great significance for
the public," he said. "Much
of the Council's activity is
really activity on behalf of
the public. That applies
whether it involves dealing
with unsatisfied complaints
from the public about the
conduct of the press. in op-
posing anything that in-
terferes with the freedom of
public expression. or in
defending the public interest
in the freedom of the press.
"Our hope now is that
many more weekly
.newspapers. and more
dailies. will decide to sup-
port the Council which in all
its activities aims at serving
as a medium of understan-
ding between the public and
the press."
This year Council member
newspapers have increased
by five to 19 since on March
1 the North Bay Nugget
became the 10th daily
member newspaper.
The other dailies are Ot-
tawa Citizen. Toronto Star.
The Spector of Hamilton.

Housing Minister Claude
Bennett's ministry has been
expanded to include
municipal affairs. That
announcement was made by
Premier Davis in the
Legislature last week. The
municipal portfolio used to
be handled by Intergovern-
mental Affairs Minister Tom
Welts, but Premier Davis
explained the change
"reflects and strengthens
our commitment to the
municipal level of govern-
ment."
I want to salute all of
Ontario's dedicated, hard-
working nurses, who were
being justifiably honoured
with Nurses' Week in
Ontario from May 4 to 10. I
know I speak for all Mem-
bers of the Legislature when
I say how indebted all
Ontarians are to our nurses
for their care and their
expertise and their
dedication to good health for
everyone.
