Special funds for re- mote secondary schools and more money for Northern Family Res- ource Centres were among initiatives of benefit to Northern On- tario announced at the opening of the new Ses- sion of the Legislature. The Government of Premier William Davis said in the Speech from the Throne it will supply special funds this year to small high schools in the north, allowing them to expand programs and facilities. And as part of a program to provide "'significant further re- sources' to fight violen- ce against women and children in the home, funding will be in- creased for Northern Family Resource Cen- tres, which counsel and supply services to fami- Who said our gas was expensive? Surprisingly enough, according to a study pre- pared for the Ministry of. Energy by the Ministry of Northern Affairs, Northwestern Ontario residents are paying less for gasoline and die- sel fuel than residents of Toronto. : The price of regular gas in the northwest re- gion during the latter part of 1983 was, on the average, 48.6 cents per litre. Toronto for the same period paid 49.0 cents. On the average, Northern Ontario as a whole was paying an even lower price of 47.4 cents. The price for premium unleaded gasoline in Northwestern Ontario averaged 52.3 cents, while Toronto prices were 52.6 cents. The average cost in North- ern Ontario was 51.1 cents per litres. In a chart provided by the Kent Marketing Services (who did the study) the table shows that Toronto prices tend to be somewhat higher than in other Southern Ontario communities; although the average difference in price be- tween Northern and Southern Ontario does not exceed 5.8 per cent for regular gasoline. So folks, according to this study, we should consider ourselves lucky! ( PAINTER- DECORATOR AVAILABLE Call: Helen 824-2163 = submitted to Lakehead if University.

Also of considerable importance to Northern Ontario is the fact that the mining industry, es- pecially gold, is ex- tremely robust. "Last year, for instan- ce, exploration activity doubled and, with the completion of the new gold mining and milling facility at Hemlo, 800 full-time jobs will be secured and Ontario will again take the lead as Canada's largest gold producer," the Speech said. Hemlo, where the main discovery was made in 1981, is the first major gold camp in Canada since the early 1970's. The three com- panies initially involv- ed received assistance to get started under the Ontario Mineral Ex- ploration Program, set up by the Government in 1980 to give grants and tax credits for explora- tion expenses. There will also be agricultural assistance to expand crop research and production in the North. Northern Ontario will also benefit from the decision to provide funds for the design and manufacture of bi-level railway cars to strength- en employment and transportation in the North. The Government is also committeed to tak- ing "Further initia- tives to sustain our na- tural resources and pro- tect our environment."
