Mr. Deans conceded that there were two items that had merit in the Throne speech. Those includ- ed Pn income supplement for the aged and the investigation of all people who get their payments from the OHIP Plan. Allan McPhail spoke on regional government and fore- cast that costs would go up and services would not improve. Jo Surich spoke on the position of the NDP in Ontario as, compared with the Western provinces. Terry Grier, MP from Toronto Lakeshore, hinted how the energy problem could bring about a federaIl election. He said the determining factor on how long the new session of parliament will last depends on the government's decision whether or not to say to the "energy barons of this country" that from now on the government will be the one that makes decisions which govern energy. There were reams of laugh- ter as Mr. Grier related the criticisms levied against the NDP and Conservatives at the Liberal dinner in Toronto by Prime Minister Trudeau. Mr. Trudeau referred to Bob Stanfield as a man standing on a desert island offering to come on board an ocean liner passing the island (the Liberal government) and take over as Captain. The NDP, according to the analogy, were as seagulls flying behind the ship making loud noises like they were driving the ship. Mr. Grier took this theme one step further, stating that when sea gulls took à disliking to a ship they would sometimes do something to it when they fly over.

They are president Carman Shirk of Bowmanville, Vice-president William Stacey of Bowman- ville, Treasurer Grace Wigley of Orono, Secretary Fran Moffatt of Kendal, Member- ship Secretary Robert Bolton of Pontypool, Social Convenor Marjorie Hall of Hampton, Regional Committee delegat es, Eugene Dobbs of Bowman- ville and Gerry Brown of Newcastle; Alternates to the Regional Committee, Dick Vanderstoop of Newcastle and Tina Olthof of Courtice; Prov- incial Council delegate, Car- man Shirk of Bowmanville; Alternate, Tina Olthof of Courtice, and the four mem- bers at large are Wayne Sollen of Orono, Bob McArthur of Bowmanville, Morris McGee of Cavan, and Ernie Konzel- mann of Orono.
