ibThe Barrie Examiner Wednesday March I976 WONT FORCE AN EARLY ELECTION Liberal decisron wont affect polrczes Davis TORONTO CP Premier William Davis said Tuesday the decision by Ontario Liberals not to force an early election will not influence or alter government policies The premier said in an inter view that the Progressive Con servative government has believed all along that the peo ple of Ontario do not want an election He was commenting on statement earlier Tuesday by Liberal Leader Stuart Smith who announced that his party will vote with the government next Monday to defeat an NDP nonconfidence motion Mr Smith said in an inter view that an informal poll con ducted by the 36 Liberal MPPs in the last few days indicated most people are opposed to an election at this time have said all along that believe the people of this pro vince do not want an election Mr Davis said gather that Mr Smith now has come to the same point of View The house will vote Monday on an NDP amendment to the throne speech and Liberal subamendment If both mo tions passed the government would fall and an election would be called The NDP amendment criticizes the government for notdealing with issues such as occupational health the need to preserve farmland and the need for equal distribution of economic opportunity ATTACKS GOVERNMENT The Liberal subamendment attacks the government for To decide fate of tourist lodge TORONTO CP The pro vincial government will decide before April 21 the fate of Minaki Lodge its $63million tourist resort which has never opened says Fred Boyer of the ministry of industry and tourism Mr Boyer director of the ministrys tourism division said the lodges board of direc tors will announce its future at its April 21 meeting in Minaki Even if the government went ahead he said in an interview it would take two years to finish the lodge and an additional four years of full operation to begin turning profit Its sad said Ed Fahlgren chairman of the board The government just wont give us any more money You cant blame the govern ment though because it is shutting down hospitals in these days of inflation It would cost $30000 month just to maintain the 108acre site even though no one would be using it for at least two years he said The biggest problem at the resort on the Winnipeg River 35 miles north of Kenora and 50 miles east of the Manitoba border is that its rooms are not finished It houses golf course ski hill and chalet heated swimm ing pool and facilities for boating dining and dancing The lodge was built by the CNR in 1927 and is on the route of early Canadian voyageurs and fur traders The main building is made of cedar logs imported from British Colum bia and the golf course was blasted out of rock and topped with soil from Manitoba The government bought the site in 1974 agreeing to write off $550000 government loan to owner Rod Carey the CNR sold the lodge in 1955 to AT Hotels Winnipeg and pay off $500000 mortgage on the pro perty While the government is making up its mind on what to do with the lodge residents of Minaki village of about 300 say they could use it for school Some children spend about two hours day on bus to get to school in Kenora Raising drinking age won solve problem TORONTO CP Raising the drinking age in Ontario will not solve the problem of teenage drinking Robert Nixon LBrantOxfordNorfolk said Tuesday The former Liberal leader told the legislature during debate on the speech from the throne that the trend to teenage drinking hasnt been caused by reduction in the age to 18 from 21 think rather it has been changing perception of drink ing in the whole community hesaid Mr Nixon said an increase in the drinking age would lead to more lawbreaking and tremendous problem of en forcement

man wanting to build his retirement home Alfred Stong LToronto York Cen tre said Tuesday He told the legislature that Albert Roberts 67 has lived in rented accommodation while waiting to build on his Markham property in which he invested his life savings The Liberal member urged the government to lift the development freeze imposed in 1972 on the proposed airport site The province announced last year it would not finance ser vices to the airport cards wouldnt solve the pro blem either he said Enforcement of the age limit has really very little to do with the problem because the drinking begins younger than that he said Mr Nixon said information from the Addiction Research Foundation indicates the drink ing age is dropping to 15 and suppose even lower than that CRITICIZES ADS He said there is no single solution but blamed the adver tising of beer and liquor for having tremendous in fluence of the attitude of young people The Liberal member said On tario through statement of government policy should urge Ottawa to ban such advertising He said the province should introduce more effective comlt pulsory program in schools to show the effect of alcohol abuse Frank Drea parliamentary assistant to Sidney Handleman minister of consumer and com mercial relations said he favors an increase in the drink ing age to remove drinking from high schools The Conservative member from ScarboroughCentre said more effective deterrent must be found that will at least be an attempt to keep our young people out of licensed premises Underage drinkers caught in the act now receive in effect on ly bawlingout by the parents Mr Drea said Courtimposed work assignments in the community might reinforce the attitude that there are responsibilities towards society and one of them is to
