at Queen's Park, the Department
Welfare of the new Government has
launched, in connection with the work

The Provincial Legislature continues
to "steal the show." An attempt by
the Opposition to blockade legislation
this week resulted in a continuous alt -
ting of twenty-six and a -half hours,
but terminated in victory for the Gov-
ernment by a vote of 42 to 15 011 the
bill cancelling the Quebec power con-
tracts. Public opinion on the merits
of the measure is stlll greatly divided;
but probably the majority of voters
throughout the Provence would en-
dorse the Government's action as cal-
culated for the benefit of the Province
in the long run.
