Zurich Citizens News, 1980-06-26, Page 5By JACK RIDDELL • MPP. Huron -Middlesex The Hog industry in Ontario which has ' been experiencing financial - difficulties in recent months will be assisted by . a sow- weaner stabilization plan, established by the Farm - Income, Stabilization Commistsion of Ontario. The plan will be based on two six-month periods per year, beginning on April 1st and October lst, and will run for five years. It will be retroactive to April lst, this year. As with other stabilization plans the enrolment fees will be paid one third by the ts producer and two thirds by the government. • The sow wean) plan is based on 8 market hogs per sow , in each six month period. Payments will be based on the • standard forumla for Ontario Stabilization .Plan. Producers will receive the difference between 90 per cent and 95 percent of the average price for market hogs over the precedink five year period. An adjustment will be made to reflect cash costs. The . Federal Stabilization Plan pays 90 per cent of the last five years average• market price. Although payments are determined by market hog prices; they wlll -be made on the number of sows. registered. Farmers who qualify must have at least four sows and they will receive payment for up to 100 sows. At the moment the Commission is drawing up regulations and registration forms. As soon as they are ready the forms will be • mailed to producers and they. should be in the mail in a matter of weeks. • Report on Cults After 18 months of study, under the direction of Daniel G. Hill, a provincial probe of 14 cults, sects and mind - development groups has found large-scale deception and fraud in some of them, but concluded that no public inquiry should be conducted. According to . the report, techniques include "hard - sell • methods, un- conscionable contracts, loan frauds, tax law manipulations, and falsified bookkeeping." -In some cases, . members are psychologically injured by their in olvementts with the groups and they are taught to be the to their families and frields. Mr, Hill said in his report that police and other government officials should make, better use of existing laws to curb the excesses. He rejected proposals for tougher laws or licencing, saying the extent of the problem did not warrant the risk of any reduction in public freedoms. However, he confessed to an unease and a disquiet, saying he was persuaded "that some movements are, as their detractors say, corrupt, , even pernicious."

Subsequently, another board .member, Rosemary Sexton, stated that she has felt intimidated while she's been on the board, and that she supported the comments of Mr. Cunningham. Land Assembly Some time toward the end of August an enquiry in the Legislature's public ac - 1 ctounts committee will begin into land worth $700 million bought by Ontario over the years much of which is unused today. Liberal Finance Critic David Peterson haspointed out that the government .bought much of the land before 1975 to hold for new townsites, low cost housing, industrial development, parkway belt and. provincial parks. "But much of it is lying fallow today and the taxpayers are paying $7 million interest every year' for nothing." .
