Reports On Closing
Sessions of House
As the fifth and probably last
session of the pesent Legislature
drew to a cloS'e members were
busy being heard in the closing
debates and everyone seemed to
wish to part from his colleagues
on good terms and to take into,
and through the expected election
fray only pleasant memories of
the many hours and days spent by
all during the past four years in
honest endeavour to give Ontario
good government.
During the last week the tradi-
tional budget debate was conclud-
ed by the usual formal vote; some
150 bills received final readings;
resolutions and questions by op-
position members were debated
and dealt with.
On Thursday His Honour Lieu-
tenant-Governor Mackay attended
in the House again for the formal
ceremony of giving Royal Assent
to the new laws and of prorogu-
ing this session of the 25th Legis-
lature, and soon thereafter the 98
members had sped off to their
own ridings and to their homes
for Easter and to prepare for elec-
tion battle.
Looking back, not only on the
recent session, but on all of the
25th Legislature's' sessions. it
would appear that good govern-
ment in Ontario has been a reality
because of the consistent effort of
every member to play his part;
the government members in at-
tending not only to their own
constituents' needs, but also to en-
suring proper consideration of, and
action on province-wide issues; the
cabinet in formulating and carry-
ing out policies which have proven
equal to Ontario's challenge and
potential; and Prime Minister
Frost who still gives that great
and inspiring leadership which can
and does so often cross mere poli-
tical party lines for the good of
Ontario and of all our people.
With this final report from To-
ronto for 1959, I again express my
appreciation to the editor of this
paper for his courtesy in affording
space for this report. I do sincer-
ely hope that all my constituents
who have read these notes will
have received some information of
interest and value.

Fire At Blake Kills
1,000 Chicks At
A. Gingerich Farm
Close to 1,000 seven-week old
chicks were lost in .a fire which
caused considerable damage at the
chicken barn of Amos Gingerieh,
at Blake, early Saturday morning.

Gingerich at 6,30, am, when he
went to feed the chicks,
The Zurich Fire Brigade was
called to the scene, but when they
arrived the worst of the blaze had
been extinguished by Mrs. Ginger-
ich and neighbours, a large hole
was burnt in the noisr under the
brooder stove, where it is believ-
ed the fire started. Damage was
also done to the wall nearest the
stove, where flames had gotten a
good start when the proprietor' ar-
rived.
"When I opened the door to go
and feed the chicks' I was almost
overcome with- smoke," said,. Mr.
Gingerich, "most of the chicks
were already 'dead then." Water
to extinguish the fire was taken
from a pipe. which supplied drink-
ing water for the' chicks; A few
of the birds survived 'the ordeal,
The building, which is an old
home converted into a chicken
house, is made of brick and frame
construction. The loss is partially
covered by insurance.
