Nestieton Sunday Service In the Presbyterian Church, Miss Dorothy Bulmer, Dea- coness, read the Scripture passages, Psalms 51:1-12 and Mark 2:13-17. The word "sin" is, seldom mentioned anymore. There is a very good book written by an American By Gord'Cochrane As a few solitary workers, outside quietly disassembled, the last vestiges of a conitrivedl celebration of, our national union, MPPs inside the Ontario Legîsiature last Mon- day received an assessment of a quite different kind of federation. The Robarts Report on the state of local government in Metro Toronto was that day released for ahl to see. Although it arbitrarily sought to draw municipal boundaries, psychiatrist and Preshyterian eider called "Wbatever Became of Sin?" Dr. Men- ninger, the writer, grieves over the fact that the word "Smi" bas been almost lost from our vocabulary. When we feel inadequate, unable to bandle life, and cry for belp and healing we run to psychia- trists and councellors. We forget -about- being healed from within. This is often where the trouble lies. Jeans hit the nail on the head when He said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick do, I come not to caîl the righteous but sinners. " (Mark 2 verse 17)., Mrs. H. Visser favoured with a solo. the reoort generally advocat- ed increased local control within Metro. There were four major recommendations of the royal commission. The municipal boundaries of the boroughs of York and East York sbould be shifted outwards, it said, largeîy 'at the expense of North York, while the other municipal boundaries remain unchanged. It also calle for more legisiative autonomy for Me- tro than now exists. Specifical- ly, the former Ontario pre- mier said Metro should be able to pass any law which does not conflict with provin- cial legislation and- that the powers of the Ontario Munici- pal Board be decreased as they affect Metro. The commission also recomn- mended that Metro -be given, more control over the housing field with almost exclusive powers. over low-income, sub- sidized housing within its borders. And, while it called for littie change in, the educational framework, the commission did recommend -the disband- in$ of, the present Metro School Board in favour of a more informal committee of local board chairmen. In a prospective sense, this report could be a great turning point for Ontario's municipali- ties. The provincial govern- ment coul d take a tremendous leap forward if it were to loosen its grip on Ontario regions, towns and cities. It could even totally swear off structural interventions like the imposition of regional government and municipal readjustmets as proposed in tTeRobarts Royal Commis- sion. After ail, the local people who are most affected by change, are certainly the best able to make any necessary alterations. And, if a new Canadian constitution is to be drawn, why flot make some- thing -more of our municipali- ties than mere orphans of their provincial mnasters. Don't forget that the govern- ment which is closest to the people it serves is the govern- ment which is most represen- tative and responsive. Strong- er local governmnent as some- what recommended by John Robarts is clearly the way of the future.

His seat is on the third row which is normally saved for first- term members. Cureatz is also favoured' with a relatively large office on the upper floor of the west wing of the legislative build- ing. While being larger than most Queén's Park offices, the office is located in the older, more rundown section of the building. As for legisiative duties, Cureatz bas thus far only been assigned to sit on the Standing Committee on Statutory In- struments in addition to the regular duties of an MPP in the Legisiature and his consti- tuency. The member said hie chose to sit on that committee because of his legal back- ground. Session Could Be Short-Lived If the daily question period is any indication, ht looks as though the preséilt minority government could, be quite a stormy affair. The House, last Monday, was certainly at its rocuous best with mucb beck- ling across the floor. Another factor in the threatened longe- vity of this Hlouse could bie the changed position of the two opposition parties. In the last session, the New Democrats were led by a conciliatory Stephen Lewis, but as soon as this fall they could be guided by a new leader who wili doubtiess be hard-preased to match his predecessor. So, look for a more strident NDP. Also, in the last session the Liberals-were in an altogether different situation than now exista. Then they were off- balance and almost rudder- less whereas today they are more self-confident and self- directed buoyed by a strong election showing. In in view, the next election could be a lot isconer than we ail] fear. Pickering Alrport Reborn Opposition Leader, Stuart Smith, questioned the govern- ment's opposition to a Picker- ing site for a new Toronto International Airport on Mon- ,day. He fears the government ,will reverse itself-and decide ,to provide the life-giving services like road and sewers which are necessary for an .airport. Responding to a question from Smith, Premier Davis confirmed that the matter is under' review and said the government bas rejected any expansion of the present airport at Malton.
