Past New Year depression
It's post -New Year depression. -
The snow and those biting north winds brought it on
when I went out to feedithe horses this morning,
First of all, the waterline was frozen. The tap is en-
closed in a wooden box with a couple of low-power light
• bulbs in it. Both bulbs—both of 'em, mind You --had
* blown during the night,
, That meant carrying water pails through snowdrifta
to the barn from the house,• '
The buckskin mare looked a little sickly. I led her out
to the paddock and she was limping. That foolish appa-
• loosa had kicked her and she nowbas a displaced ten-
don.
"Bathe the knee -joint twice a day until the lim dis
appears," said the vet. "She'll probably always have a
I don't haVe time to bathe her twice a day but I'm the
only Person she will allow to touch her on the sensitive
spot. It means 10 minutes less sleep each morning until
she's cured.
I hate snow and high winds.
Get into the ear to come to work grumbling that no-
body but a darn fool would be 4riving on a day such as •
this with winds howling and snow driving against the
windshield.
Slap the car ihto reverse. Thunk! Can't move it. A
huge snowbank. The car is stuck. Call a neighbor. Ask
to borrow his tractor. Can't. It's got a leaking radiator.
Call a tow truck. It takes him 38 minutes 'to come from •
town. It costs $18. YiPe!
Arrive at work 43 minutes late. The boSsis angry.
"Take this job and -shove it!"
• That's what I think. I haven't the intestinal fortitude
to say it.
Spend the day thinking about' friends and acquaint-
Jack's Jottings
ances who have the luck and, the wherewithal to bein
Florida or the Caribbean. Green with envy as I battle,
more snow and high winds; and stupid drivers travel-
ling the 12 miles home.
It's dark and gloomy, The house' seems empty with
all the decorations gone and the Christmas tree flap,
ping forlornly in the garbage heap. A few wisps of tin-
sel are stuck on the branches. They seem to illustrate
exactly how I feel.
The lane was blowh out during the day but has al-
ready drifted. in again.' Park the car St the of the
lane.
It probably won't start in the morning because the
electric cord won't reach that far.
I am going to run for Parliament and propose new le-
gislation for Canada. The law will make it mandatory
for the government -to send everyone who hates winter
to southern climes for at least a month every winter.
Only those.who hate snow and ice and cold Winds will
be allowed to participate.
• Those fools who love skiing and snowmachines can
stay in Ontario and freeze. I think theYrieall kidding
themselves anyway. Underneath •the enthusiasin for
winter, they secretly hate it and are only trying to
make the best of a bad thing.'
Winter just hangs around too long, like a bad smell.
It becomes stale, shaliby, old and sullen. Every mile
seems like 'two. It's cruel as death' and hungry,asthe
grave. If hate it. -•
Kipling said it about Kngland. He probably never
lived- through a Canadian winter of eight months of
winter, three months of bad skiing and one month of
summer. He said: Never again, will I spend another
winter in this accursed bucket -shop of a refrigerator
called (England) Canada.
Anybody got a couple of spare tickets to Jamaica?

churches may own Iciri
BY JACK RIDDELL, M.P.P
• Under a bill introduced by
•• the Government, land-
owning privileges will be
• extended • to all • religious
groups. Currently, such
• privileges arc only available
to Christian and Jewish
organizations, who may own
property -tVithont having to
record a new deed of transfer
every time there is a change
• in -trustees. The new law
•extends the same benefits to
any "association of persons
•that is charitable. . .or-
ganized for the conduct of
• religious worship, services or
rites. and that is per-
' manently established both as
• to the continuity of its
•• existence and as to its re-
ligious beliefs, rituals and
practices." Specifically listed
are Buddhist. Christian,
Hindu, Islantic. Jewish.
Longhouse Indian. -
• Sikh, Unitarian and _
Zoroastrian groups.
• The Goverament also
introduced legislaIbn to
• make industry responsible
for the clean-up of all spills
„involving toxic substances. It
includes a provision that if
' industry does not clean up a
• spill rapidly enough. the
• Enviroment Ministry will
move in. d� the job, and bill „
the companies responsible.
The described by the
Minister' unequalled in
'Canada". is designed "to
impose clear responsibility ,
for clean up and to enable my
Ministry to take immediate
• control of the'situation if
• required." In an interview,
• he stated that the Govern-
ment had "no clear authority
• to go in and clean up a spill, b
• Now, we'll be able to go in
• and clean it up right away. 2
• That will solve a lot of
• problems. " • h
Liberal Environment Critic
Murray Gaunt called the bill c
"a substantial step forward.
It's something we've been p
• advocating and pressing for G
for a long time.- He said the b
• Liberals have had "great p
difficulty in trying to con- G
• wince the Government that x
this is the move they should p
make."•
p
• This legislation was pro- d
mpted by a number of spills s
involving toxic industrial to
contaminants in recent years c
in which 'immediate cleanup T
• procedures were impeded p
because of inadequate pro- 0
visions in the Environmental d
Pro• tection Act. For example,
there was a major spill near
Dowling, Iocatcd some 30
miles northwest of Sudbury
in November 1973. About
1,000 gallons of tranformer
oil containing toxic
polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) were spilled when a
CP rail freight train derailed
and split open two electrical
transformers. The Environ-
inent Ministry was severely
criticized for allowing this
s to detcrioratc. A
tribunal of the Environ-
mental Appeal Board' ruled
that "it is clear that by
delaying initial cleanup in-
structions until June 1976,
the Ministry had allowed the
situation to deteriorate from
seriouk to catastrophic.**
Accidents reported to the
Ministry of the Environ-
mental involve a' total of
some 1.25 million gallens of
petroleum - --products.-- -truti---
petroleum oils. toxic
chemicals and other
hazardous materials which'
require intmediate action._ A
further 8 million gallons of
non -hazardous liquids are,
involved.
In April 1976. Ontario
bought into the giant)Syn-
crude development, through
the 'Ontario Energy
Corporation. and its invest-
ment now is about 5106 -mil-
lion. The Government will
make. some 535 million in
profit when it sells its 5%
share in the Alberta oil sands
development to • a private
company: ,according to the
Minister of Energy. Pan
Canadian Petroleum Ltd.
Canadian -owned company
ased in Calgary. has agreed
0 buy Ontario's share by the.
9th December for S160 -mil -
ion. The Minster indicated
• Canada Ltd.. a major private
investor. At that time, total
cost estimates had risen to
52 billion from an original
51.2 billion. Last Summer a
former Minister of Energy
had said, in an interview,
that when he felt optimistic
he thought the province's
investment could be worth
up to 5140 million.
The last days of the ses-
sion were quite hectic. A
number of ministerial state -
men s were made, and the
House passed -Bill 70.
