Liberal leader asks that emergency fund
BY JACK RIDDELL, MPP
Liberal Leader David Peterson has once
again called upon the provincial government
to establish an Emergency Relief and
Disaster Fund.
The extensive damage suffered by com-
munities in London, as a result of the
tornado in , the area. on Sept. 2, has
dramatically highlighted the need for such a
fund. The fund could be used to provide
assistance to families and individuals, to be
used for the repair of damage to property, as
well as making adequate short-term provi-
sion for people who are the victims of a
natural disaster.
Cutting a wide swathe through a ten -block
area of South London, the tornado sent more
thaft 30 people to hospital, and caused
damage ranging from demolished roofs and
walls to broken windows in more than 600
homes and businesses.
While .the full extent of the damage
suffered in this most recent natural disaster
is not yet known, initial estimates are in the
region .of $4-$5 million.
The City of London has not yet determined
whether to initiate the complicated formal
School board turns down pension plan
A pension plan is not a "valid benefit.' for
school board trustees and the Perth County
Board of Education won't be requesting such
a plan.
At its Sept. 5 meeting, the board turned
down a suggestion from a provincial
trustees' association that the Ontario
Municipal Employees Retirement System
Act be amended to allow school board
trustees to join the pension plan. The

Dr. Brightwell and his wife Dwell arc
looking for accommodation in the capital cit
while they are involved in the transition. Mrs.
Brightwell Said on election night. that while
Ile couple have no concretelans. they do
intend to maintain their Stratford residence.
Retiring MP, Bill Jarvis said it isn't a
matter of Dr. Brightwell walking into the
otttce currently occupied by Mr. Jarvis.
The veteran MP currently has a three-room
suite in the Confederation Building on
Parliament Hill.
He said he has always been in that
building, but Dr. Brightwcll's location on
Parliament Hill depends on the Chief
Government Whip. The•whip is responsible
for assigning office space to MPs.
Mr. Jarvis explained, that with 140 new
members nn the Hill, there is a "great Flurry
of activity in looking for three to four office
employees for each member.
The,minister of federal -provincial relations
in the short-lived Joe Clark Government • Mr.
Jarvis said while PC's had planned a
transition for several months prior to the
election, they were "not prepared for the
over 200 MP's in the caucus'
On Monday afternoon. Dr. Bright.. ell said
he has no idea where his office will he. He and
his wife were planning to do some "serious
apartment hunting'.
He said that on Tuesday night they would
be attending a performance of�lolanthe at the
Ottawa Civic Centre and representatives of
the Stratford Shakespearean Festival would
be on hand for that performance.
The MP -elect said he will be getting his
feet wet at the production in establishing
theatre contacts.
No PC caucus meeting will be held until the
cabinet is sworn in and that is expected to
take place Sept. 17. Dr. Brightwell said he
will meet other MP's on an informal basic. He
has already` talked with Huron -Bruce MP
Murray Cardiff and Oxford MP Bruce
Halliday.
As for office staff. Dr. Brightwell said he
plans to keep Helen Pearson on staff at the
Orr building in Stratford and Anne Pritchard
in Ottawa. He said his staff needs would he
different than Mr. Jarvis', and besides the
staff already mentioned, he will require a
researcher.
Dr. Brightwell said he particularly needs to
know the "ins and outs" of federal
agriculture and theatre policy.
As for the other candidates in the Perth
riding. NDP candidate Ian Munro has gone
back to teaching at Northwestern Secondary
School and Liberal candidate Brian Innes has
no definite plans.
Mr. Munro said he would run in another
election if the party nominated him. He said a
leave of absence from his teaching duties
could be arranged.
Mr. Innes said he too would run again if
asked by the Liberal party association in
Perth.
' l'm not afraid to carry the Liberal
banner," he said. •
As for his own career plans (Mr. Innes
resigned as advisor to former Treasury Board
president Herb Grey after he won the Liberal
nomination), Mr. Innes said he would have to
sort his life out.
"Time's on my side," he said.
Ontario Public School Trustees' Association
is polling member boards to see if there is
support for a pension plan.
Mitchell area trustee Earl Oppenhauser,
the board's representative to OPSTA, said
the act allows municipal councils to join the
OMERS plan but excludes school boards. He
said it is his personal feeling that a pension
plan should be, on a person's major source of
income.
"I don't think a pension plan is a valid
benefit to either councils or school boards,"
said Mr. Oppenhauser.
Stratford trustee Paul Parlee agreed with
his colleague and added that trustees
"shouldn't look for indirect remuneration".
if such a pension plan was in place, the
trustees would pay half the monthly amount
and the board would pay the rest.

the case for all municipalities, will be based
on the total cost of the damages, existing
municipal resources and the problems of
creating a bureaucracy to manage the relief

reason to consider the creation of an
