By JACK RIDDELL M.P.P.
The Ontario Government will
provide $25 million worth of
special interest loans this year to
farmers 18 to 35 years of age to
help them avoid borrowing at
high interest rates to get started
in business.
The Ontario Young Farmers
Credit Program will provide the
guaranteed bank loans for young
farmers. There is no limit on the
amount of each loan. The loans
will be for 10 years. During the
first two years. the farmers will
repay only the interest on the
loan. For the remaining years, he
will pay both interest and prin-
cipal. The interest rate will be 1
percent higher than the prime
lending rate at the time.
W. A. Stewart, Minister of Food
and Agriculture, said that within
the last two years about 50 per-
cent of the agriculture school
graduates are returning to work
on the farms and they as well as
other young people would
probably welcome the op-
portunity to participate in this
program to become established.
The Government will also
double its special grants to
Northern Ontario farmers this
Special loans to farmers
year, according to Agriculture
Minister Stewart.
A submission was received this
week by the Minister of Energy,
Dennis TimbreIl, from Ontario
Hydro concerning proposed
changes to its bulk power rates to
be effective January 1, 1976.
The proposal provides for
approximate increases in
revenue of $208 million from the
municipal utilities and $54 million
from the direct industrial
customers. This will result in a
rate increase averaging ap-
proximately 29.7 percent to
municipalities and about 29.9
percent to direct industrial
customers.
The Minister indicated that the
proposed higher rates must be
substantiated by Hydro on the
basis of demonstrated and
necessary increases in costs in
the full glare of public scrutiny.
It was also stated by the
Minister that according to
Hydro. the largest single con-
tributor to higher costs is the
continuing increase in the price
of fossil fuels - which account for
and 26 percent
revenue needs in
between 25
Ontario total
1976.
The Minister said as required
he was referring this proposal to
the Ontario Energy board for its
hearings which are expected to
commence on June 9th. This
will provide an opportunity for
Ontario Hydro to publicly defend
its proposal and for interested
members of the public to study
and question it. The board will
consider all evidence submitted
and opinions expressed before
submitting its report by the end
of August. 1975.
Meanwhile. the Association of
Direct Customers of Ontario

dustries which consumes 30
percent of Hydro's output, called
the proposed increase out of line
with economic realities and a
threat to the industries' com-
petitive position.
Hydro has ignored Ontario
Energy Board requests to drop
reserve requirements to 23
percent, slow down its nuclear
programmes and delay building
a fourth heavy-duty plant at the
Bruce Nuclear station, pending
an independent inquiry into the
need for such expansion.
Construction of that plant was
announced a week ago, and
although the Legislature has
been informed that the govern-
ment is not totally convinced of
the need for the full expansion
programme, there is apparently
no intention of dropping the plans
in the immediate future.
Premier Davis expressed his
concern in the Legislature over
the proposed increase in the price
of natural gas. He said unless set
aside, this higher price will
becomeeffectiveon November of
this year. Mr. Davis said the
proposed increase would worsen
inflation and increase unem-
ployment. The adverse impacts
will ripple through the national
economy.
It is the view of the Govern-
ment that it is in direct opposition
to the current economic and
social interests of this nation. Mr.
Davis said it must not be per-
mitted. The Premier said that an
Ontario family that uses 144
thousand cubic feet of natural gas
for cooking and heating would see
their costs increased by $120 a
year or an average of $10 a
month.
The Government has agreed to
match dollar for dollar any
money raised locally to assist
those people who suffered
damage in the recent flood. Any
area interested in this
programme should establish a
local committee to raise money.
As soon as this is done the
committee should notify M.D.
Trewin, Director Subsidies
Branch, Ministry of Treasury,
Economics and Intergovern-
mental Affairs, 5th Floor, 56
Wellesley Street West, Toronto,
in order to serve notice to the
Government that a claim is going
to be filed.
Amendments to the Succession
Duty and Gift Tax Acts have been
debated. which provide for an
increase from $50,000 to $70,000 in
the exemption of gifts in far-
ming assets for use in farming,
and from $2,000 to $5,000 in the
annual exemption for gifts made
by a donor to any one individual,
and from $10,000 to $25,000 in the
aggregate of such annual
exemptions that a donor is en-
titled to claim in a year.
James Bullbrook, Liberal
member for Sarnia questioned
the Minister of Energy about one
of his constituents who had been
charged for the consumption of

electricity for December on the
basis of the rates as increased for
January 1975.
He asked the Minister to in-
vestigate the matter because "if
in fact, the Ontario Hydro has
charged not only their retail
customers but their wholesale
customers on this basis, and the
increase has been passed on to
the consumers, the people of
Ontario have been ripped off to
the tune of millions of dollars."
Mr. Bullbrook also turned the
matter over to the Ontario
Energy Board as he wanted an
objective evaluation of the
complaints. A Hydro spokesman
confirmed that the 12 percent
increase, which became effective
January 2nd, was applied to the
constituent's hydro bill for the
period after his meter was read
on December 10th.
Apparently numerous com-
plaints had been received from
consumers about the backdating
of the scheduled January rate
increase, but Hydro does not
intend to rebill customers,
claiming that would cost too
much money. Mr. Bullbrook
stated that the utility should pay
back all overcharges, and if
Hydro will not do this voluntarily,
the Ontario Engery Board or the
Cabinet should order a refund.
The Electoral Boundaries Act
and the Election Expenses Act,
both considered essential before
the call of an election, received
third reading this week.
BONING UP ON THE STUDIES -- One of the more curious displays at Mt. Carmel Separate School
Thursday was this one of recreated dinosaurs. The skeletons were constructed of chicken and, as the two
boys said, "mostly dead cow bones". They also said the one at the left took only one hour to make. From

inspecting behind them.
