The Ladles' Night Will be held on April 14 and the final plans for that function were discussed, Once again Agriculture ,and La- bour. held the spotlight In the Legislature at Toronto. Bill No. 86, being a Bill, respecting farm mar- keting . procCdures- and powers, generated a great deal. -of debate and was given second reading after a recorded vote which saw both. opposition parties speaking and voting against the Bill, It is interesting that a very small pro- portion of opposition members represent rural areas or are farm- ers theinselves, while a consider- able„ number of Government mem- bers who supported the Bill unam- piously are farmers. The rather controversial Labour Relations Act amendments, after a stormy course in Committee, spark- ed another debate in the House. However as both Labour and Management are on record run favouring this new Bill against ally other 'suggested amendments, it would appear that it will be good legislation. .During the week more depart- mental estimates were considered and passed 'by the House. In each case the consideration was long--- usually far into the night, as op- position members continued to repeat their daily speeches. Those of the Department, of Education which showed a general increase in. grants to schools but generally not as great as in the provimil year, of Lands and Forests, Pub- lic Welfare, Energy and Treasury, were completed, leaving only I lire- Departments yet to br ronsidered It would, therefore, seem that the work of the members for this sessioh is drawing to a elese: , .

John Hanna Reports During the week Liberal Mem- bers were hard put to deterinine whether to attend certain func- tions of their Provineitil Association meeting in Toronto 'or to attend House sittings. As usual the ladies won. More legislation reached Com- mittee stage and again the end was in sight. Among interesting Bill; introdueert was one designed to 'control the practice of exacting huge bonus payments on certain mortgage transactions.. There were also introduced by the Prirhe Minister certain Bills to provide for Members, Ministers and the Leader of the Opposition an annual indemnity more in keeping with present day standards, and a pen- sion plan. It is generally felt that Public service cannot attract and keep the type of Mall or woman required to deal properly with the /lege business that is twat . the responsibility of the Ontario CON,. ernmeld, without a more realistic approiwh to tine problem, it. would appear that the Ontario Legislature has finally provided -a suitable plan In effect this purpose and that persons serving the publie in the Ontario Legislature will. new, long after shnilar plans have been in effect in several Provittect and the Dominion Parliament. iln17n sonic rights to security, At the begitimng of the week, In tin, absence of the Lieu' Pliant- Governor, the Administrator of the Province, Chief Justice 'balm !Porter, a former Minister of Kau- cation, attended at the House to [give Royal Assent to 'the Bills setting up the 'new Laureritieti University of Sudbury and its affiliated Colleges, thereby malthig an.pttio elle!esgreedate ainui011eisatleifiatavaittheet,lie. s
