The tlime Legislative eoneMit. mitten's report ev‘e the opposition
of one of the Conservative -mem-
bers of the committee, Mr, Rae
Myers from South Waterloo who
gave an -outline expose of the du.
fieelltiee involved in the .establish-
ing .of a Central Registry, Speak-
ing after Mr. Myers, the Liberal
member for North Waterloo, Mr,
Wintermeyer felt a statute setting
-up" a Central Registry would have,
a beneficial effect although he.
admitted that there does not seem
any great clamour for legis-
lation. The feelibe among the
members is, that the government
will be hesitant in implementing
the recommendations of the Ina,
jority of thie, -committee.
The estimates for the Depart-
ment -of Agriculture were ,passed
after considerable ediscuseiron and
served to bring out the highlights
of the department's work and also
to emphasize the shortcomings of
the department, in relation ta cer-
tain agricultural problems. An-
-other department to have its, esti-
mates passed was the Labour De-
pertinent. Considerable discussion
was invoked with respect to these
estimates. Mr. Reaume, the Lib-
eral member for North Essex cal-
led upon the government to re,
cegnize the resolution on the order
,pdper in the name of Mr. Reatene
to call the committee of labour so
that all aspects of this particular
problem might be aired before this
committee and amendments made
that would strengthen and clarify
the Labour Relations Act. The,
government have been adamant in
their refusal to call this import-
ant committee of the Legislature.
Probably the bitterest row of
tees appointed 'ley the NNW to
eteetiire into certain specific mate
tiers all reported to the Assembly
last week,
The one which had the .greatest
public interest was probably that
- on toll rea,4. After heeling rep-
resentation from interested eerties
arid making examination of exist-
ing road authorities in other
j:trieclietions the committee report'
ed to the Legislature that they
favoured the principle of toll roads
as one method of meeting the
challenging problems inherent in
An ever expanding need for more
highways, Some of the difficulties
• attached to toll roads were ex,
Pleined to the members of the
House, The Main objection was
that .Ontario being such a large
province and that toll roads would
serve in the main 'the densely
;populated areas there was a con-
sequent unfairness to people in
distant parts who would, in a very
real sense, have to back the finan-
cial aspects of toll road construe,
tion. Apparently, where toll roads
have been built the-State authority
has been required to guarantee the
bonds of the corporation, respon-
sible for toll road construction,
. This, in a very real sense, means
that whether the province builds
the road or not it would be respon-
sible for the finneing in the sense
outlined.
The committee on air pollution.
set out the prableme and made
recommendations aimed at cor-
recting the existing conditions,
The committee on central reg-
istry of -motor vehicles also re-
ported. The highlight of this corn-
"The smith a mighty man is he,
with large and sinewy hands . ."
That's how Longfellow saw him,
and how 'he was regarded/by his
community. Today, he doesn't
have to be a physical giant, for the
smith has a new kind of muscle.
We can't describe it, for it's
invisible. A unit we know as a
"kilowatts- hour", muscle-power
without an equal,
Today, the roar of the bellows
and vibrant ring of the anvil are
replaced by the hum of motors and
the dull thud of the' forging ham-
mer. Electricity, accomplishing
tasks thought impoSsible 50 years
ago. And who can say what future
applications will be developed?
Would you venture to estimate
how much electricity will be used
to power machinery in, say, 1975?
Ontario Hydro endeavours to dc
that every day . . look into the
future . . anticipate electric
requirements.
Tomorrow's living as well as
today's will more and more be
measured in kilowatt-hours. It is
the aim of Hydro to provide an
adequate supply of electricity .
so vital to Ontario's farms, homes
and industries.

the Session took' place when Mr.
MacDonald the CCF leader charg-
ed the Minister of Labour had his
son-in-law, working far the depart-
ment. Mr. Daley, his voice coked
with emotion,, argrily replied to
the charges, saying that it was
asking too much thal a man vletth
ability should be penalized just
because he happened to marry his,
the minister's, daughter.
The estimates of the Depart-
ment of Highways were also ap-
proved. The minister outline.d an
ambitious programme of highway
construction, the only dampening
factor being that the members
were aware that a similar pro-
gramme was outlined a year ago
only to find that at the end of the
season, millions of dollars approm:
riated in highway 'construction re-
mained unspent.
