The Huron Expositor, 1983-11-02, Page 17110.00iFS o t.t�fnl . B1f ]ACS RIDDELL'MPP The lAberals under David Peterson have ' launched a major offensive at Queen's Park to create jobs and improve educational opportunities foryoung people. Threats to '.the future of youth' must prevail upon . legislators to prevent the creation of a lost generation. in David Peterson's view. "Existing provincial programs do not address the problem of persistent unemploy- ment of our young people. Mismatched educational training and lingering idleness pose ominous soda) implications. If we do not address the problems now, the social costs could be enormous. Neither provincial nor federal governrdents have created adequate year-round job and skills programs for unemployed youth. Existing program's are so brief in duration and place so little emphasis on educational training that they are of little help to hard-core unemployed young people. The provincial government should make it a priority to pro ' e "year-round programs offers nded periods of employment incl with • ,educational upgrading for disadvantaged youth." We have released a survey of programs, noting that none is specifically devised' to train and provide year-round jobs for these with the bleakest prospects. The $4.8 million Ontario Winter Experience program, for example, has 1,700 positions but tuns only from October to March with a maximum employment period of 20 weeks. There is no educational tie-in. Ontario Career Action Program ($17.8 million) provides on-the-job training for up to 13,000 young people who have been unemployed at least three months. Average length of the program is only 12 weeks, and the maximum is 16 • weeks, At S25.9 million, the Young Ontario Career Program, aimed at 20 to 29 -year- olds, \provides wage subsidies of $2.50 an hour to a Maximum of $100 a week. for up to 12,500 positions, but lasts no more than 26 weeks. ment noN in Interesticharges. These carrying charges were only partially offset by dividends of $25. million. EMERGENCY PROGRAM I have stepped up my campaign to have, the Oniarip Government launch an emer-, gency, retrp`a"ctive program to rescue the red meat induOry. l have called - for an emergency legislative debate on the crisis -facing farmers in the province's cattle industry, who are losing between $100 and $150 for ;every • finished cow marketed. However, the Conservative majority in the Legislatuc� blocked the debate, causing me to condemn the government for avoiding public sixutinyy el the issue: 1 mentioned that many of the producers who ire in trouble today were seen as aggressive and progressive farmers when they trade their financial decisions - on the advice of the government and often urging of their bank. - a few years -ago. In the ailing beef rid - meat ' sector, we must have emergency assistance now. Ontario is the only province of those with significant production which is not rendering ffnanciaL assistance'to their industry. The Minister of Agriculture has stated that an agreement has'been worked out with western cattle producingg provinces to alleviate the p tem in Ontario, but the •--Fed aeLl Iry inhas stated that he has no details on the agreement. E ency action, is needed now to save many cattle producers from bankruptcy. I also Mentioned that our beef producers are facing -one of the worst 'ever financial situations. Many beef producers lost equity in the .pe;rlod of unprecedented high interest rates in 1981. They carried a high debt load in 1982, and today they have their backs against the wall. If some emergency assistance is not forthcoming for this year, many of Ahem will not be producing next year. • The Minister continues to shirk his responsibility to our producers by repeatedly talking about the need- for a Stabilization Plan, He has taken this approach for the last two years and we have yet to see this plan materialjze. We are now told that any such plan would not be made retroactlye for this year, which means that his program will be useless for our farmers. SUNCOR David Peterson told the Ontario Legisla- ture that he recently bought 10 shares of Suncor through a stock broker for S15 a share - less than a third of the $49.77 a share paid by the Ontario *o'vernment in 1981. He has calculated that if the Governmentsold its 13 million Suncor shares today, it would lose more than $450 million: -During the past twelve months. just holding on to the shares has cost the Government almost S140 million $ Q, 1amco/etldeP1ngpurchats; Ing a new home and 1 have noticed that the builder ord,v to ulatesthebasemenlsiiO4oJ`.

Canadians have' all heard of recycled paper. recycled Mottles and recycled steel. Now an engineer at the University of Waterloo is pioneering the 'technology for another recovered product — rccycied roads. "The concept of recycling reads has been around for 50 or Ell rears," sans Dr. Ralph Haas. The idea was nes er pia into practice because it was always much cheaper to replace roads. But now that oil prices are steep. asphalt (a by-product of Oil refining) has become expensive and recycling has become cost-efficient, says Dr. Haas. Recycling a road is done by grinding off the top layer of the pavement. crushing it and mixing it with new asphalt. Dr. Haas estimates that if roads were paved with a combination of 70 per cert; old roads and 30 per cent new material, the annual national savings could amount to about $75 million by 1986. Dr. Haas is now preparinga book of "recipes" for pavethent engineers and contractors. His "cookbook" will instruct engineers how to prepare a proper mix of old and new material. Each mix must be prepared to withstand particu- lar climatic conditions and the amount of traffic that the road will have to hear. Dr. Haas' research is funded by Gulf Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications. (Canadian Science News) You're driving along the road and prepare to slow down as the traffic up ahead gets more congested. Suddenly, your brakes fail. What d� you do?
