Gillespie, Minister-of Energy Mines and Resources today announced that the Federal Government has signed a heavy water supply contract with Ontario Hydro for $102.3 million. The contract, placed on behaîf of Atomie Energy of Canada Limited, calîs for the purchase of 484,500 kilograms of heavy water and its resale to the New Brunswick Electric Power Commission for use in its nuclear generating station EnniskilnBone hr ater with Young Patients To make certain the young patients in Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, have a _good Easter, members of Enniskillen's lst Brownie Pack made special Easter eggs and took them to t hehospital on Sunday afternoon.

Leétter to the Editor Dear Johnny, I have now rec'd informa- tion which tells, me that teachers pensions are indexed: that the 7 per cent deduction is split 3 ways - 1 per cent for indexing, 5.4 per cent to the superannuation fund, 6.7 per cent to Canada Pension Plan: and some facts to answer the letter from L.R. Cooper a few weeks back. L.R.C. bas 3 main beefs, (a) The nasty old goverament hasn'ýt been paying enougb interest on the monies in. the teachers superannuation fund in the 53 years prior to 1971. (b) The province now includes their contribution to this fund as part of ifs grant t o local school boards wbich means the 8.5 per cent grant will only be 4.5 per cent more dollars. (c) By a, questionable method of aconigour govermentý is victiizïing the, school boards, villainizin'g the teachers, forcing the taxpayers to pay more of the costs of education.., I cannot quite rememnber to 1918, but I think in the 20's and for sure in the 30's, interest rates were around 3 per cent. I know there are people stili bolding longterm debentures witb interest rates at 41/2 per cent. There bave been letters in the papers from some of these people asking for a better deal. Our government is currently baîling out the teachers fund to the extent of $1.4 billion dollars and L.R.C. is complaining? As to (b), I shall quote (and this is ".rigbt fromthe horse's mouth") - tbe province bas not la the past, nfor is it at present, counting its payments to tbe teachers' superannuation fund as grants to the school boards. Tbe revision to the Edmonton commitmient just adds provincial mnies for teachers' superannuation to the previous transfer payments made to local government. Assistance to local goveraments for '78-'79 will still increase by $310 million iLe. 8.3 per cent while the province's own account spending, increase is held to 4 per cent. And for (c) I again quote - The province "subsidizes" the teachers' superannuation fund when it pays in a sum to match the teachers contribution and when it makes payments on the teachers' superannuation fund unfunded liabilities ($144 million-year) as required under the Ontario Pension Benefits Act and the teachers' Superannuation Act - on the last little part of (c) L.R.C. is exactly rigbt - the taxpayers are getting it la the neck as usual. Since gov eraments have no money except wbat tbey take from the people what does he expect? For a change of pace the national citizens coalition is a non political group who publish "Consensus". The latest issue is rather special and they have nlade it available very reasonably. I think you wîll get a kick out of it as it deals witb federal policies and the feds make the sebool teachers look like a bunch of amateurs. Anyone can give me a caîl at 623-7011, leave your name and address and 1 shahl be happy to see you get a'copy, courtesy. Morgan at Point Lepreau, N.B. scheduled to come on uine in 1980. The purchase of the heavy water is necessaryý because AECL's Glace Bay plant was forced to cut back its operation due to mechanical problems last year. AIL other heavy water production now available is already commit- ted. Ontario Hydro will make two deliveries, the first ship- ment of 283,000 kilograms in March 1979 and the second, the balance of 201,500 kilograms in September 1979.
