Savings Office for delivery to Toronto for processing„ SEAT BELTS The solicitor general announced that police have been directed to step up enforcement of the seat belt legislation. Citing a decline in seat belt - use, the solicitor general indicated that a program of public education had failed to convince the public that they should use seat belts. It was indicated in the an- nouncement that about 300 lives have been saved, on average, each year since the legislation was passed in 1976.

The way is now clear to proceed with the. Bruce Energy Park, since the amendment clears up one of the ' difficulties faced by Ontario Hydro.

Originally introduced by the minister to deal, he said, with the' Toronto East General hospital matter, the bill has general application to all hospitals in Ontario, not just Toronto East General. The opposition has agreed to pass legislation to deal specifically with the Toronto East General situation if the minister wants, but have demanded that the minister not use the Toronto situation to put legislation in place that would allow government takeoi+er of any hospital which, in the government's opinion, was not performing properly. Conceivably, the legisla- tion could be used in the cases like the ones which arose at Wingham, 'Clinton, Seaforth and elsewhere when local board people reacted unfavorably to the ministry bed closure an- nouncements. This legis- lation cannot be supported if one wants to protect the rights of local people to govern their local institu- tions. Even the proposed amendments to be sponsored by Minister Timbrell have not gone far enough to alleviate concerns. The 'Ontario Medical Association has termed them "a cosmetic gesture". CENSORSHIP The minister of consumer and commercial relations has announced censorship changes which are to be•. effective August 1.

ADVISORY" BOARDS It may well be that 'about 80 provincial advisory agencies,, such as the Ontalri0 Economic , Council,' could soon be abolished under a new "sunset" review policy. The government's agencies review committee listed in its report some 79 agencies which could be scrapped over a three-year period beginning in 1982. The object of the sunset review "is to ensure effectiveness and efficiency in the con- tribution of these bodies to the overall policy and program formulation process" according to the report. While all agencies will be reviewed, only those "which are no longer needed" will be abolished, The minister responsible for a particular agency will be required to review its functions at least once every five years to determine if it should be abolished, then take his decision to cabinet for ap- proval. In addition; a sunset clause will be included in any legislation or order -in - council creating a new ad- visory agency. . Most, government advisory agencies rieet only sporadically, paying their members on a per -diem basis, but a few have full- time salaried staff. The Ontario Economic Council, the Ontario Status of Women Council, and the Adivisory Committee on Con- federation, could be phased out next year, the• report suggests. The 3500• uniformed volun- teers in the St. John Ambu- lance Brigade in Ontario offer invaluable service to their communities by pro- viding First Aid protection at community events. nA THESE LADIES were intent upon the horseshoes being tossed at last Saturday's horseshoe tournament held at the Bluevale Park.
