Arnold Gibbard, a vice - pres- ident of the Ontario Association for Retarded Children, told the committee on youth that some adolescents are doing unpaid and often strenuous domestic and farm work at three Ontario Hospital schools for the men- tally retarded to kcep running costs down. However, Mr. Gibbard said that if the youths were pre- vented from doing the work, which often begins at 6 a.m. and doesn't end until after sup- per, the three institutes would probably have to be closed. He recommended that addi- tional funds be made available to hire paid staff for the insti- tutes and to pay the students until they could be replaced.

In the early years of the pension plan, the buildup of pension reserve funds». would add more to government sav- ing than it would reduce bus- iness and personal saving. But the difference may be largely offset by additional spending by provincial governments with access to the pension funds. 3. In later years the pension plan may bring a modest re- duction in national saving com- pared with what it might be without such a plan, "but this seems likely to be small in re- lation to the total volume of na- tional saving at that time and to be overshadowed by the changes in that volume likely to be taking place as a result a scale which is modest in re- lation to the size of the adap- of economic growth and change."

TORONTO (CP):-- The On- tario, government has had a standing order with flag mak- ers since last June for a supply of whatever flag was chosen by Parliament to replace the Red Ensign, a government official said Tuesday. Since then, Red Ensigns have been bought only when a re- placement was needed, he said. Premier Robarts, who has Dionne Quin Acquitted MONTREAL (CP) Mrs. Marie Houle, one of the four surviving Dionne quintuplets, was given "the benefit of the doubt" Tuesday, and a simple assault charge against her was dismissed by a municipal court judge. The charge arose from a com- plaint by Mrs. Georges Asselin of Montreal that the quint had slapped her in the face during a discussion Oct. 31 about the two Houle children. The children -- Emilie, 4, and Monique, 2% -- had been in Mrs. Asselin's full-time care at the latter's house when the inci- dent was said to have taken place. Mrs. Asselin, 55, said she was \"hit without reason" after Mrs. Houle asked to have the chil- jdren the weekend of Oct. 31. The older woman said she never allowed the children out of the house overnight and she offered to allow Emilie out for the evening. Mrs. Houle told the court an argument took place and that Mrs. Asselin said: "I hope you are paralysed." Judge Paul Champagne, in giving his decision after an hour-long hearing, said there was "sufficient provocation' prior to the slapping for him to have "reasonable doubt" about the charge. On that basis he gave Mrs. Houle "'benefit of the doubt." Mrs, Asselin made the com- plaint early in November. The case has been postponed several times since then, with Mrs. Houle free on $25 bail, after entering her plea of not guilty Nov. 13. The quint now is separated from her husband, Florian the court as Mrs. Marie Houle. HOUSEHOLDERS Save On am 16 | 668-3341 DX Fuel Oil | | | 1 Flag Ordered One Year Ago Houle.
