2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 28, 1976 Section Two Largest Outdloor Rînk Now in Operation In my last report from Queen's Park I indicated that 1 would be spending some time cealing with what is known as the "pecial Prog ram Re- view " by the, Province of Ontario. The Special Program Review WVas created to report f0 the province ways in which spending could be reduced. However, it is not really a program review at all. The report is f00 simplistic and too superficial. Many, if not most of ifs recommendations ap- pear to be based on an analysis that goesno deeper than the numbers in the Estimates books. There is no evidence that the impact of the Special Program Review's recommendations on anything other than the provincial budget was considered. This amiable excersie in education for Maxwell Henderson, Ro- bert Hurlburt and Betty Ken- nedy produced an incredibly scattered array of recommen- dations. To me, the report is fundamentally anti-democra- tic. t recommends, inmany places, the establishment of a private sector body to review government expenditure. This review bas always been the function of the legislature, and in my opinion, should continue to be so. The report also recommends the establîsh- Ment of a committee to review expenditure commitments be- fore they are made presumn- ably f0o- replace both the Cabinet and the Management Board. The report sees government as a separate force in society, f unctioning' independently both of the public which according f0 the report makes excessive and irrafional demands for service -and of -the- private sector - with which it seems to compete. The private sector, as distinct from the public sector, is to assume a direct role in government decision making. Throughout the re- port, on consistant result of many of the recommendations would he the 'Creation of hoth direct and indirect unemploy- ment. Vet the report absolves the province of responsibility for the whole question of unemployment, and I quote from page 1k, "in Most instances, the size of the unemployed case load served by the GWA program is determined by federal poli- cies. " While the report counsels the creation of additional unemployment it also recom- mends that the -province no longer involve power prograr that the newl~ ployed be a t any retraining sector.

When the snow has been cleared off, the basebali diamond provides the largest outdoor rink in the area, according to Jaycee Jim Robinson, who is in charge of the Soper Creek project. On Saturday afternoon, these boys, along with a few of their friends, got together for a game of shinny. Meanwhile, over on the hili, a sider flies through the air (with comparative ease) on his way over a bump near the bottom of the siope. î- Photos by Liz Armstrong LONG SAULT (Intended for Iast week> _______________________________________ Mrs. John Bateman was hostess for the January meet- ~ ing of the club 50 ladies.
