Leading off the debate for the Liberal Party, Marvin Shore, M.P.P. (London North) questioned . the Treasurer's: projected budgetary expenditure in - 'crease of 11:, 7 percent, because the Government has Made a practice of un- derestimating its ex- penditures, and pointed _. out that, its any event, keeping xpenditures to this level was hardly a major achievement in view of the fact that Quebec's increase in ex- penditures i only 11.0 per- cent andNova Scotia's is only 11.3percent. Mr. Shore underlined i the fact that, although the provincial deficit had been reduced, it was still, at one and a quarter billion dollars, the second highest deficit in Ontario history, and he questioned the Government's reliance on possibly over- estimated projected exports to underwrite the Treasurer's forecasts for revenue and employment figures. The Treasurer claimed in the Budget Statement that he_ isproviding stronger in- centives to Ontario's small business - companies, However, he has done little more than eliminate some of the burdensome paper work involved in the Government's tax credit scheme. The number of companies to benefit has increased to 50,000 from 20,000, it's true, but by reducing the tax rate from • 12 percent to 9 percent the Treasurer isnot providing one extra penny to small businessmen in Ontario. He admits himself that the $30 million cost of this reduction is identical to the cost of the tax credit scheme which it replaces. The net result is that a larger number of businesses must divide the same size pie into smaller pieces. In addition, the small businessman will be forced to pay increased OHIP pretniuxns, thanks to the Treasurer. Mr. Shore referred to the need to evolve some better approach to provincial - municipal relations if 'we are to expect municipalities to be reasonably autonomous and to plan intelligently, and expressed the opinion that the Provincial Government and the municipalities should The birthstones of mother's dear ones on precious 10K gold chain goo.. 1010 The Family Chain , by Columbia.

He said in recognition of the specific local concerns made clear during the appeal -procedure, Clinton Public Hospital will be allowed to maintain the status of an ambulatory primarycare facility after the 1st of June, with X-ray lab., minor surgical capacity, along with physician offices on the premises. The letter received from the Acting Minister of Health stated that the staff must receive termination notices, they must stopdmitting patients as of May lit and the hospital must close as of June 1st, 1976, and it stated that a plan for providing additional ambulance service his being developed to satisfy the changed requirements of the community. Also that the Ministry of Health staff would be available at request to assist in developing health care services in the community using existing: buildings t some extent, if appropriate - I questioned the acting !sinister of Health as to whether, the .use . of the dialysis unit will i, be allowed t+ continue, as it IS the only one other than .:that located ,in 'London, The reply was that it is hoped that. they 1411 be able to develop an out -Patient dialysis capability, f further questioned the acting Mi cli5ter. of eat about the contradic:tlo between her letter and Premier's statement to which the acting Minister replied that there was no con- tradiction, none whatever. Stephen Lewis, Leader of the Official Opposition, said that all of the so-called consultations over the last several months entered into in good faiths by the hospitals, were in fact a determined- charade by the government, doomed to failure in advance. Liberal Leader Stuart '' Snaith has called upon the Government to devise some form ofcompensation for owners of farmland if they are to be prevented from selling it for development. He suggestefl the provincial government crust bring in a master land -use plan for the province if the best farmland is to be kept in food production. Selective freezes on selling land for development would have to be applied in some regions, and he said, "it's possible to pick certain areas and freeze them and pay reasonable compensation without bankrupting the Province." • b.t,ir. t B Rena Caldwell The regular Thankoffering meeting of . ,UCW of St. Andrews Church Kippen was held on April 13 with approx. 150 UCW members from neighbouring churches present.

Seaforth town council got some more bad news last week when they learned it will cost another $8,000 to fix the arena after the ice making machine broke down recently. That, says the Seaforth Huron Expositor in last week's paper, is on top of the $100,000 the town is already spending on arena repairs. The Expositor also reported that payments to the Seaforth Fire Area Board will now be based on the total assessmentin each member municipality, including churches, schools, and municipal buildings, because the fire department protects non-taxable as well as taxable buildings. A combination of weather and smaller instruction classes resulted in a drop of $1,100 in revenue at Lions Pool, the Expositor also related in another story. -That's about a 20 per cent drop.from 1974. In another story out of Seaforth, the Expositor told of that town council's ap- proval of a $5,000 budget to repair their old town hall this year. A new arena and the town hall seem to be the big topics of discussion, judging by the abundance of copy written in the , two competing Exeter 'newspapers, tits k, T . c Advocate and the Indepen- dent News. The Times -Advocate reported in last week's edition that it was "Up and down , round and round for al' town hall" as new twist developed in that town's attempts to restore the old gal to her former splendour. t the other weeklies say Sunworthy Says Yes- You -Can Meanwhile, the Indepen- dent News said any decision to re -open the old arena could prove to be a costly one. To even pass fire standards and re -open only in the summer, it would cost an estimated SI 5,000 to 520,000 just for a required sprinkler system. Back to the Times - Advocate., They reported in another story that the ad- dition of a swimming pool to the new arena comple would attract greater support from nearly municipalities, those reeves say. In another story concerning recreation in the Independent News, the paper told that Exeter may have to curtail their summer playground program, or eliminate it altogether because of lack of funds. In a front page story last week, the Blyth Standard reported that the law office of Menzies and Ross of Clinton has opened an office in that village and it will be open four afternoons a week. The Standard also reported that the East Wawanosh council has sold their share of the East and West Wawanosh park to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority, for $1, An old, established retail business in Zurich, Westlake Furniture, has been sold to Herb Turkheim-, the Zurich Citizens News reported last week. The Westlakes first started business in Zurich 30 years ago. Mr. Turkheim is the chairman of the Huron County Board of Education and a recent owner of the Citizens News. The Citizens News also reported that over 200 per- sons. turned out to a fashion show at the Pineridge Chalet recently, sponsored by Huron County. Playhouse Guild. Also, according to the News, Stephen Township has earmarked $20,000 for im- provements to the Credition Community Park. Goder-ieh Town Council agreed last week to rezone a section of property on Ben- nett Street in that town to allow the construction of row , housing, the Signal -Star reported last week.
