The province has tried to limit the growth in hsopital operating costs through ceilings for the past five years. In 1973 it imposed a tough 5 per cent growth limit and tried to hold them in 1974 to an increase of 7.9 per cent. The ceiling broke down mainly because of wage settlements during the year, and will end up more like 20 per cent according. to Health Minister Frank Miller. Hospital casts account for about half of the 1974 provincial health cosp. „ I asked a question of the attor- ney general in relation to the Supreme Court of Canada deci- sion to award $30,000 to a snow- mobiler who was trespassing on private property. The law has generally assumed that the tres- passer shall not benefit from the trespass. The attorney general replied that legislation is currently being studied to cope with this ,situ- ation, and it will be introduced when ready. Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller has guaranteed that the government would not raise Ontario Health Insurance pre- miums for at least 17 months. The Government's fiscal year runs froin April ist to March 31st. Ontario's five medical schools rejected 14 applicants for every student admitted this year, according to James Auld, Mini- ster of Colleges and Universities.

Two fires on Hallowe'en Wingham firemen were called out late Hallowe'en night to extinguish two fires which are believed to have been set by vandals. Fire Chief Dave Crothers said that he could not estimate the damage on the two buildings, one belonging to Moses Brown at the corner of Centre and Alfred St. and the other in the Lower Wingham area of Turn - berry Twp. which belonged to Renus Bailey because both build- ings were in such a bad state of repair. Both buildings were complete write-offs although firemen tried vainly to save therm 11111 NMI NM MUM Si I GOOD THINGS In HAPPEN 111 WHEN YOU HELP 1 RED CROSS 1 • Da 'tilieliwirs Mr and Wafts lar weigars?

There's a significant difference between Canada and the United States in exhaust emission standards for 1975 cars. The Canadian Govternment-decided to adopt more reasonable emission standards than those in the United States. which meant that catalytic converters were not necessary to meet the Canadian standards. .- So for 1975. Ford of Canada decided not to follow suit with Ford irithe United States — although it would have been much- easier (and less costly) to do so. • Ford of Canada's decision to minimizethe need for catalytic converters in Canada shows our real concern for you, the motorist. We decided to offer cars without catalytic converters because a) a catalytic converter could be an extra expense for you. h) the unleaded fuel that's required for catalytic converters is in limited supply in Canada. and. c) unleaded gasoline is more C% pensive than the lower priced regular. —Now in order to meet the 1975 Canadian exhaust. emission standards. without the use of catalytic converters. Ford of Canada invested over S1 million in an extensive program involving significant engineering changes. additional com- plexity in our assembly plants and other special programs. lhe result is that all engines (with the exception of one the optional 2.8 litre V6). for all 1975 lines of Ford of Canada cars. meet the standards. ‘t,k ithout requiring catalytic converters. and do so while running on any gasoline — unleaded. preniium or the lower priced regtilar. Ford of Canada feels that this will mean a lot to motorists who are not able to find unleaded gasoline in their normal driving and fuel -shopping patterns. Particularly. those who live in rural areas. or are travelling to the cottage or -ski slopes where unleaded gasoline availability is substantially less than major urban centre's. any gasoline. anywhere, a number of features, which we call "EconOmy Extenders", have been engineered intaevery 1975.Ford of Canada carline. These include: • Solid state ignition that eliminates the points and condenser and improves fuel economy overlong periods due to a more stable spark plug performance • Improved engine tuning on many engines which results in better fuel economy and performance • Optimized rear axle ratios thpt contribute to less engine wear and lower fuel consutnptiorl by proper matching to load and use requirenients • Steel -belted radial tires that extend tread life and reduce rolling friction for better gas mileage. In addition, extended service intervals'con- trihute to reduced maintenance requirements. and therefore, lower operating costs. 6, Right now, Ford and Mercury dealers can give fast delivery on cars hi stock which run on any kasoine —unleaded, premium or the lower priced regular.
