Or-.ONO WEEKLY, TIMES NEW "BABY BONUS" SCHEME It will be difficuit for anyone to argue successfufly against the federal government's "baby bonus" plan. As Welfare Minister John Munro told the Commons late last week, the plan will double benefits to 1,249,000 familles, improve them for 623,000 more familles, reduce them for 58 5,000 familles and end them for 1,050,000 familles. Although no date has yet been set for the start of the new plan, Commons approval is expected in the near future. The new plan will replace two current systems' which apply to 7.5 million children and youtlis. The exist- ing fam,*y allownce plan provides a monthly cheque of $6 L_ _. ldrindcr 10 and $8 for children 10 to 16. The youth alcýwrrce is $10 monthly for those 16 and 17. The new family income security plan would pay maximum benefits of $15 monthly for children urqder 12 and $20 monthly for those 12 to 18, subjeet to family income The income floor for maximum benefits would be $4,500 for families with one child. The floor would rise $500 for each additional child, allowing maximum benèfits to_ a family with two children and an incomèi of- $5,0W~, three childrenand an income of $5"500 and so on. No one will get rich on a yearly income of $9,000, and .It could be argued that benefits, even slightly reduced, ones, should be available to small families with that incomne. Howevfer, the idea behînd .the plan is, and should. be, to assist those families well.under. the $9,000 income. THE COST 0F PROGRESS Progress often faces, a stormy' battie as witnessed by the opposition to place a second airport-for the MUetro AiZea ini Pickering Township. On tre local sceneland own- ers in Hope Township are up in' arm s over ýthe future erection of large hydro dines and towers over and on their property. They are ln full agreement that they don't want it and have requested that it be rerouted to a more north- ern route. One'can certainly sympathize over the placemnent of ugly transmission Uines over a property for they are not a thing of. beauty. Who really wants them, and of course the answer would bc, rno one. They, like the airport, are a necessary evil to sustain our way of life even though for a fewv it will ereate in- convenience and an unsighitliness. Ontario Hydro lias been askLed to reroute the Uines to à more, sparsýely populated area and this route, dlaims Hydro, will make it difficuit to service Port Hope and Cobourg as well as placing the, Une In an aea where icing will take place. No matter whçre the line goes there will be oppo- sition as will be so with the airport. "Put it atiy place but not in my bacýkyard." it is people power versus progress.
