All Weston is conâ€" tributing in some way to make the celebration a success. He strongly believes that the Ontario government should take the ‘ automobile insurance busiâ€" ness away from the insurance companies because he says, the province could insure motor vehiâ€" cles much cheaper than the rates charged by private companies. His attacks on the Attorneyâ€" General for firing Morton Shulâ€" man, Moetro‘s former chief corâ€" omer. is just another example of MacDonald‘s influence and strength as an opposition leader. In Metropolitan Toronto, he has recéntly been telling ratepayers‘ groups that most of the heavy load of education real estate taxâ€" es could be taken over by the province â€"â€"(without â€"â€" increasing sales and income taxes) if only Queen‘s Park would levy a royalties tax against Ontario‘s giant mining industries. In Port Arthur last month, Macâ€" Donald charged at a public meetâ€" ing in the Labor Centre that the "provincial government has comâ€" pletely aborgated its responsiâ€" bility to champion the interests of Ontario, and notably Northern Ontario, in the fateful decisions that are now pending with regard to a new pipeline from Western Canada to meet Eastern Canada‘s urgent needs for more natural gas." The government is instead allowing the pipeline to â€" go through the United States, he deâ€" clared. Trap He has the background for a politician and has set as the NDP centennial project, the election of 67 NDPers in the coming election. MacDonald has his BA and MA from Queen‘s Universiy where he maored in history, politics and economics. At the meeting a letter was produced which announced that Steinberg‘s was willing to let its parking lot be used as the parade assembly, provided that the comâ€" mittee could guarantee liability. James Trimbee and Lindsay Cott were delegated to look into the matter of insurance. During World War II, MacDonâ€" ald joined the Navy, earned a commission and became secretary of the intraâ€"service wireless inâ€" telligence committee. He spent a good deal of time watching the debates in the House of Commons and after the war Several weeks ago he chose a meeting of the Ontario Insurance Agents‘ Association to again state his views on the question. After a yearâ€"long speaking enâ€" gagement, ‘e became a m)mr and columnist at the treal Garzette. The Weston Rod and Gun Club was granted permission to set up he writes himself. He probably makes more speeches than any other politician in Ontario in and outside of the Legislature. One night he will address a Lions club on the perils of water pollution, and the next he‘ll adâ€" dress a union meeting on labor problems. j TEN YOUNG LADIES making their debut last Friâ€" day at CWLâ€"sponsored Centennial Ball in St. Basil the Great College auditorium, Weston, are (left to right) Maureen Williamson, Joan Marie Gorman, â€"â€"Maryâ€"Maginniss, Carole Annâ€" Meek, Margaret Rior« dan, Susan Mary Little, Theresa Catherine Baxter, Barbara Ann Fitzgerald, Teresa Mae Cote and Patricia Ann Holbeck.
