First of ail we are not about to hold our breath while Joey turfs you off the throne and I imagine spend sleepiess nights pacing the floor te devise a scheme. Give him credit, though, he neyer cracks a smiie when an- nouncing his intentions. And what about Senator Davey. He gave a real right upper cut "te the news media in a recent address in Toronto. "Silly asses" we are. I have te agree with him and the Senator did prove his point or at ieast the newsies proved it for him. The next TV news report car- ried his jab as a feature and the Toronto Star used bold type on the front page. Nothing about the rest of his ad- dress .. .just that right upper cut. Ed got some good news coverage with the NDP recovery program proposai. People are looking for this with the exception of the Parrot and his posties who now dlaim Broadben't sounds like you. The question is does t hat put you left of centre with Ed or Ed right of centre with you. We wiil let Davey -siliy asses" figure that one eut. SWeil Pierre enough chit-chat. Now te the real purpose of this letter. No doubt you have by now read my celumn from Around Home in the Orono limes last week when I made a reiationship between your problem on the hili and mine in the chicken house and the use of your scheme te take MiY problem to the people. I'm happy te report that 1 met with great success and have a long term agreement te look after similar in-, stances in the future. In fact the plea was oversubscrib- ed. The reesters are gone and ail is normai in the hen house for'the time being. 1 had visions of having to take the bull by the horns or as I should say the roosters by the neck and use the axe I had sharpened down at Pete Mercers. (Incidentaiiy I understand Petehas good vibs for the party.) It would then have been a matter of getting the bioc-k in place, closing my eyes and swinging. Happily this did not happen. Aiex Moffat with whomn 1 have entered into agreement did say there was a di f- ference between you and 1. "You are giving nothing away while I am." Be patient Pierre youmay weil succeed. At least you will have a breathing period with Joe turkey-trotting around the bedroom, Eddie fighting with the Parrot and Davey with the newsies cornered. Yours for a chuckle. Roy. Joint graints creaîcte addtioal26 jobs Through three special empioyment pregrains, fund- ed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the Canada Empicyment and Im- migratien Commission, 376 weeks of work have been created in the past week te be shared by 26 employees in Centrai Ontario. The three programs, which allow laid-off workers te be hired for jobs involving parks, fisheries and conserva- tion authorities projects, will cost the Ontario and federai gevernments $1 54,179. The workers will be im- provîng deer and small gaine wildlîfe habitat at Tiny Marsh Provincial Wildlife Area near Midland and upgrading facilities at Ser- pent Mounds, Emily and Dariington Provincial Parks. These prograins are among five federal/provincial job creation prograins initiated earlier this year by Ontario Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope and Lloyd Axwor- thy, federal Minister of Empioyment and Immigra- tien. Programs for forests and mines have alse been created te employ additional laid-off workers. Since February, the Government of Ontario has contributed $1 1.2 million te ail five prograins, providing a total of 50,463 weeks of work for 3,46Ô laid-off workers in the province. "Ontario's part of the job creation programns is funded by the Board of Industrial Leadership and Development (BILD)," Mr, Pope said.

"Under the direction of my ministry, BILD is con- tributing money for pro- grams that are putting laid- off workers back to work on important resource-related projects?" "As Mînister of Emnploy- ment and Immigration, it is part of my mandate te en- courage the creation of the sert of jobs that can serve as a temporary bridge over troubled timres that have hit mest industries recently," Mr. Axwerthy said. "These job creation prograins suc- ceed on two levels, both by allowing laid-off workers te' be rehired for short-term periods, and by ailowing im- portant resource-reiated tasks te be carried eut." Under each pregram, the federal government offers 'an enhanced pay package se workers receive their regular Ul benefits plus a supplemnent which wiil increase their benefits to a maximum of $240 per week. The Ministry of Natural Resources, using funds provided threugh the job creation program an- nounced in the Ontario budget, contributes an addi- tional 25 per cent of the federai contribu~tion up te a maximum-of $60 per week. The province aise pays for family protection benefits, and the cest of equipmnent and materials te carry out the preject. In addition, staff from the ministry of Natural Resources provide technical guidance and support for each preject.
