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."

management over a crucial
vote on cuts in the con-
troversial movie "The Tin
Drum."..
One - Joseph Cunningham,
who has . been on the Board
for 12 years - told a
Legislature Gemmittee that
he feared for his job if he
' didn't 'change his position
that no cuts should be made
to the film, in which the two
board managers wanted to
make four cuts.
• The film is an award-
winning account An

period from 1925-45. It will
not be shown in Ontario
unless the board reverses its
demand that some scenes be
cut or the director -allows the
movie to be shown with the
cuts.
Subsequently, another
board .member, Rosemary

felt intimidated while she's
been on the board, and that
she supported the comments
of Mr. Cunningham.

today and the taxpayers are
paying $7 million interest
