jack's Jottings From Queen's park
The First Session of the
Thirtieth Parliament of the
Province of Ontario opened
on Tuesday, October 28th,
almost unobstrus.ivefy. There.
were 74 Opposition members
to the 51 Government
members. The Speech from
the Throne read by the
Lieutenant Governor of the
Province, the Honourable
Pauline M. McGibbon,
promised action on issues
such as inflation, rents,
mortgage interest rates and
tenant security. It also in-
dicated that the Government
in its concern over the
economic health of the
Province and the problems of
inflation and unemployment,
will support the decision of
the Government of Canada to
launch a nation wide attack
on these problems. -r
On the first day of ,,. the
Session, the Honourable John
Rhodes, Minister of Housing
reported to the House on the
plans. for the introduction of
rent review legislation. He
indicated that ..the one very
important influence on this
legislation is the federal
programme on 'wage. and
price controls and the federal
plans and funding in respect
of housing. The legislation to
be introduced will provide for
a rent review board, em-
powered to review rent .in-
creases within limits
determined under the Act. In
appropriate cases the board
pause and d who close their
business on Saturday, be
i
included as gne of he
exmptions in the Statute and
allowedbe to remain open on
Sunday. "
According to a `statement
by the Provincial Treasurer,
the Honourable. Darcy
McKeough, the Provincial
Government intend togive
the Federal.Govelbnment in
Ottawa the power to ad-
minister totally t eir newly
proposed wage and price
control in Ontario.o'his would
mean, in effect, that in ex-
pected confrontations with
teachers and civil servants
the protagonists will be the
Federal Government and the
unions. The, Liberal party
have, however, taken the
position that the Provincial
Government should' be
responsible for negotiations
with teachers, civil servants
and other professional people
who come within Provincial
jurisdiction.

In Level 1 thecompetition
has become extremely keen
with Benjamin Stadelmann
dominating the Club picking

himself in first place with a
.900 percentage. ,
The Solicitor -General, John
MacBeth, introduced
legislation designed to force
large retail stores to close on
Sundays and holidays, or face
fines of up- to '$10,000,
beginningJanuary,' 976. This
legislation applies to stores of
more than three employees
and more than 2,400 square
feet of retail space. The ex-
ceptions include small
grocery stores, milk stores,.
, news and tobacco stands,
drug stores, antique shops,
flower shops and service
stations. ,
Vernon Singer, Liberal
' MPP for Wilson Heights, said
the introduction' of the Retail
Business Holidays Act,
(Sunday Closing Law) had
one serious omission.
He said while the law
purports•to be secular and not
religious, Sunday is imposed
as the day of pause: There
are many people in the Orli.
community who cannot
chooseSunday as their day of
pause. Many Orthodox
Jewish people, Seventh-Day
Adventists andothers have
deep religious convictions
that will not allow them to
work on Saturday. These are
people who sincerely and
conscientiously govern their
lives this way and have kept
their business closed on
Saturday. Mr. Singer said
that in order to survive in
commercial enterprise,
particularly, in large urban
centres, it is necessary that
their business be carried on,
on. Sunday. Their religious
convictions will not allow,
them to operate) their
business on Saturday and the
law wilt now prohibit them
from working on Sunday. Mr.
Singer, felt this would,be most
unfair and discriminatory.
Mr, Singer said he will,
therefore„he introducing an
Amendment, to the effect that
" those people by reason of
their religious convictions
treat Saturday as their day of
However for second place
we now have a three way tie
between Chas. MacDonald,

The third Kloeze brother
John also got rolling last
week after a slowstart to pick
up his second and third wins
of the season to move up into
Level 2. The rest of the Club_ is
going to really have to watch
out for these Kloeze boys as
they are real sharp chess
,players.
In Level 2, John Kane won
four of five games to take
over first place while Don
Bogey moved up into third
place winning all three of his
,garnes.'Also in Level 2, Larry
Gower continued to be the
surprise of the club by win-
ning ,..his ninth• game of the

Obviously any r-mEeasure

"We have 272,000 pen-

concerned that cheques are

people who qualify each week

sales tax rebates on the

The ministry ensured that

Young drivers
Did you, know that five
'unlicensed 'automobile
drivers were injured in
collisions in Ontario in 1973?
There were probably a few
,more unlicensed drivers
injured than that, speculates
the Ontario Safety League,
but these were alI under five -
years of age. Official records
list them as the driver
because they were behind the
wheel at the time of,collision.
Parents are warned never to
leave children in pie car with
tie engine ri'nn:h'fg or keys in
the ignition -- not even for. a
moment.
Pressure
For every 6 degrees
(celcius) dip in temperature,
tire pressure drops about one
pound, says the Ontario
Safety League.

portant factor that cannot be
overlooke,tl. Motor vehicle
accidents cost the health
system of this Province $1
million a day.
When one considers that
this one change in existing
legislation could reduce death
and injury, conserve 'our
valuable energy resources,
and at the same time reduce
our enormous Provincial
.medicare bill, Mr. Roy, said
it seems completer illogi✓'al
and out of keeping with
reality not to enact without
delay an amendment such as
he is proposing•.
In a special ceremony, held
in the Legislative Chamber,
Arthur Maloney was sworn in
as Ontario's first ombudsman
this week. The ceremony
confirmed the appointment
made last May. Mr. Maloney
referred to the enormous
impact on all our lives of
public administration, giving
rise to the need for an im-
partial ombudsman when
people "believe they have
been prejudiced by an act or
omission of a civil ser-
vant", and ,acknowledged the
pioneering legislative work
done by Liberal MPP Vernon
Singer, who 'proposed an
Ontario Ombudsman for ten
years before the Government
took up the idea.
