The fuil capital cost of the project, about $5.5' million, is being met with a 35-year loan from the Co-operative Trust Company of Canada. The loan is guaranteed under the National Housing Act by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the Federal Housing Agency. Assistance from, the government of Canada will be in the form of a maxmum annual sub- sidy of -approximately $518,000 to reduce the mortgage interest rate to as low as two percent. The total federal con- tribution to this projeet under the present con- tract terms could amîount to over $18 million. The purpose of'the subsidy Is to keep oc- cupany charges as low as possible for the members of the co- operative.

"lIt gives the Federal Government special pleasure to provide assistance to a housing co-operative because there is more involved than. providing affor- dable accommodation", said Mr. Smith. "Assistance to a co-op goes to people who are working together to solve their housing problems". The development will contain 12, two bedroom; 60, three bedroom and 8 four bedroom units.

Cracek Down TORONTO -- The On- tario Provincial Police wil be embarking on an ail-out attack on drinking drivers over the Christmas and New Year's holidays OPP Commissioner -,Archie Ferguson announced today. OPP officers in every corner of the province will be watching for *people who take their holiday celebrations too far. Using roadside breath screening devices, the police of- ficers will be able to test drivers. they believe have been drinking. The test devices show one of three results after a driver takes the test. If the 'pass'1 light shows, the driver can go. A 'warn' light means the driver may receive a 12- hour suspension; in that case, his driver's licen- ce is seized, and he must make other arrangements for con- tinuing his journey. If the person taking the test sees the 'fail' light, it means the start of a procedure to obtain a« test with a normal breathalyzer. "Last year, out of 538 drivers killed in fatal accidents in Ontario, 301 had been drinking," said Comm. Ferguson. "Everyone in the com- munity has a respon- sibility to try to reduce this terrible statistic. " The OPP has a major part to play in any work to reduce drinking and driving said Comm. Ferguson. But he also stressed the fact that everyone can try to prevent the drinker reachîng his car when his driving wlll be im- paired. Friends and family can use their in- fluence to stop a loved one from taking totally unnecessary risks -- both, the risk of having an accident and the risk of being caught by the police. "Moderation is the keyword," said Comm. IC.F MESHER JEWELLER Seniors & Students .15% .Of f I wlth this coupon 668-2872 I 109 Dundas St. W. Whltby __ Ferguson.
