Ontario Provincial Police which the discussion was have not indicated to the _-.Sszlitiiszr_. G.enexal:_ that any of__ heard; the American drivers were Mr. taunt: A question of the Minister of Transportation and Communications: Does the minister think that the action taken by the OPP a week ago.ae - the Ontario and Niagara bor- der points, in which the police were stopping all American cars, warning them that if they drove with studded tires they would be subject to the maximum $100 fine, is in the best interest of the Province of Ontario as far as our tourist trade or our public relations are concerned? Mr. Lewis: What about Manitoba? Hon. Gordon - Carton: Mr. Speaker, I would defer to the Solicitor General. The law en- forcement provisions do not come under my .ministry.. However, I would add that this is the law and I suppose that is their way of—enforcing it. Mr....Spea.kex.:. The hon,...mem- ber for Essex - Mr: Gaunt: May I redirect that question to the 'Solicitor General, Mr. Speaker? Mr. R. F. Nixon;_ He -has nothing to do with the law. He just enforces it. , Hon. John Yaremko: Mr. Speaker, I . did not see that report -I had . heard. ..of. -.it -and". when I made an inquiry as to it, I was advised that it wasn't. correct. Mr: J. E. Stokes (Thunder Bay): Does the minister mean they are allowed to drive with studded tires? Hon. M'r, Yaremko: I would be very pleased - An hon. member: The minister should make up his mind., Hon. Yaremko: I am an- swering the hon. member for 'Huron -Bruce: Mr: Lewis: Then the Solicitor General will have a supplemen- tary in a moment. Hon. Mr. Yaremko: I would be very pleased if the hon. member were to give me details Hon. Mr. Yaremko: I think there was some story that literally hundreds of motor vehicles -I don't. know what story the hon. member has, but the story related to me was that hundreds of motor vehieles were being stopped. Mr. D. C. MacDonald (York South): There were only scores! Hon. Mr. Yaremko: Now I don't know whether _they were being cautioned or whether . they were being summonsed; but 1 asked for details of the report and was informed that the report was incorrect., Hon. :George Kerr:' They wear studs up there in July! Mr. Gaunt: A further sup. plementarv, Mr. Speaker Does !the minister ,have a list of the convictions under this par- ticular section of the Act up un- til the' present time? Does,,,,(te know how many people have been convicted under this' par- ticular section.of the Act? Hon. Mr. Yaremko:, Mr. Speaker, 1 haven't ' got the figures for this year, but I did table in the House last session the convictions for the winter of 1974-4972. No recent figures have been brought to my atten- tion; I can acquire them for the hon. member. May I say this in,anticipa n of the supplementary th t hasn't come: The law is the 1 and it will be enforced. Mr. Gaunt: A final sup-` plementary: Has the minister instructed the OPP to enforce this section rigidly? • -Ion. Mr. Yaremko:, Mr. Speaker, they have been called upon to enforce the law in the same way they are called upon to enforce `all of the .laws. Mr. MacDonald:. The minister is kidding the 'House. The figures last spring in- dicated the law was not being enforced.

' ---BUDGET STRETCHERS One of our employees -reflected that when she started housekeeping 20 years ago there was a rule bf thumb hitch said that are, reasonable budget estimatr,°tost e fohe e s Tots" ofthe main dish of the main meal was 25c. She decided to cruise along the meat counter of an Ottawa. -- supermarket recently to see if this twenty -year-old advice could still be followed. She found that it could. -Here's what -she discovered: • 'A pound of chicken livers at 59c is ample for four. Cost per portion -15c } •' Two pounds of chicken wings looked as if they would serve three. Cost per portion -26c - • Picnic shoulder (60c a pound), corned beef•(79c a pound), r_"15`Y1k- shoulder roast (69c per pound), beef heart (55c a pound)—,all work out to a cost of less than 25c a portion., Force of habit leads the shopper to buy the same kinds of meat. over `and over again, Our working-house-wife=shopper has never bought and cooked chicken wings, but she has a good recipe and is going to try them. She had forgotten all. about stuffed baked heart, but it used to be liked by the family' so now' she, plans to get that recipe cut' again. -Our shopper realized that force of habit had led her first - to the meat counter. She considered eggs. Even at 59ca dozen "for Grade A Jorge. three eggs scrambled or inan omelette cost ohly 15c. She -went to look at frozen fish. A pound of frozen perch fillets at 69c will serve„ three. Cost per portion 23c. Twenty-four Boston blue fish -sticks, 99c a package, would serve four. Cost per portion =- 25c. And the canned goods section yielded some good low-cost ideas. _ • A tin of tuna fish (91/4 oz. -67c) in a Casserole with -a tin of mushroom soup (20c) will serve three or four. • A 151/2 oz. tin of pink salmon at $1.07 will serve four. Cost r portion --27c. ' •' Lu cheon meat priced from 49c to 67c for a 12 oz. tin will serve three, or four if served with eggs, for a cost per portion of less than 25c. I Various tinned stews and dinners were priced from 63c to 71c:`'They would serve two amply: Individual. frozen beef or ,rillcken pies were 29c each.
