A responsible budget Dear Editor: In his April 19 bud- get statement Marc La- londe said it simply: "Economic recovery is under way in Canada."' And with it comes the government's $4.8 bil- lion commitment to making sure the delicate recovery does take hold and many jobless Cana-. dians find the work they seek. _New measures in the budget mean new jobs in our community and communities across the country. Under a spe- cial recovery plan we will see several capital projects (example if pos- sible) planned for later in the decade get under way, so our community can benefit now and our workers can learn. new skills and build up more experience to help them find work once the pro- jects end. The NEED program which has created jobs already in our area will be expanded so that workers who have ex- hausted or nearly ex- hausted their unem- ployment insurance benefits can find work in our small businesses and volunteer groups. In our community, as in so many communi- ties, we have seen the sad toll unemployment takes on our youth. Many of our neighbours Why is gas so high? Honourable Robert Welch, Q.C. Minister of Energy Room 180 Parliament Buildings Toronto, Ontario and Honourable Robert El- gie, M.D. Minister of Consumer and Commercial Rela- tions 9th Floor, 555 Yonge Street Toronto, Ontario Dear Mr. Ministers: Why is gasoline 53 cents per litre in Schrei- ber while it is 21.9 cents per litre in Thunder Bay? Is it because large companies like Esso are trying to squeeze out independents or be- cause they have an abundance of surplus and must get rid of it? If the latter is the case why do they not allow all users to benefit from this surplus and let free market forces take over as would be the case in a truly competitive and orderly . market economy. This price mani- pulation is causing resi- dents in Fort Severn to pay $6.17 per gallon while Schreiber is pay- ing $2.33 per gallon and Thunder Bay 96.8 cents per gallon. It is time for a Com- mission of Inquiry to investigate this wide variance in price and the manipulation of such prices for the benefit of large companies to the detriment, long term, of all users in Ontario. Yours sincerely, Jack Stokes, M.P.P. Lake Nipigon Riding under 25 have found themselves out of school, out of work and without opportunity to gain experience and know-how to help them find work. To ease their plight, student loan pro- grams have been ex- panded to make sure every Canadian has an equal opportunity to seek the education ne- cessary to follow his or her chosen career. The Department of National Defence will develop a $76 million program to _ provide training in many trades and skills in a military context. The govern- ment will also subsidize wages for on-the-job training for those who need the experience to make it on their own. GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENT Miss Jane Marie Zwaresh of 223 Kenogami Rd.

A.J: Gauthier Clerk-Treasurer Township of Schreiber New jobs are still in the private sector and it is there that the most jobs will be created. To help. bring this about a variety of tax incen- tives have been expand- ed to give more flexi- bility to business, espe- cially in the vital farm- ing and fishing and manufacturing indust- ries, in claiming their deductions and _ tax credits. This should al- low for a better cash flow and encourage ex- pansion and moderniza- tion so necessary to compete on an interna- tional market. This is a financially responsible budget. Mr. Lalonde has indicated that unemployment will decline slowly but stea- dily. The budget will in- crease the national defi- cit for the next two years, at the same time that it puts into place the - machinery for a _ de- crease in 1985 and 1986. Mr. Lalonde has said the most difficult step in economic recovery will be to break out of the recession mentality.
