Ontario Legislaterrbbly ive Ass, Tuan Pryde,'",1VM.P.P., for Ewen, is writing a series of 'offices, the first of which appears here- with. With the co-operation of the weekly newspapers..iri the County of Huron, ;would, like to make a weekly report during the present session of the Legislature, I ani doing so in the hope that it may serve to inform many of the electors regarding its function and the duties of its members. Lack of interest in public af- fairs' of bur country may be the result, of Iack of iniferMation. This, is, reflected in the number of peo- ple who don't bother. -to vote at an election, either Federal, Provincial or Municipal. In a survey of municipal elec- tions by the Citizens' Research In- stitute of Canada, the vote in fhe communities which gave the in- formation asked for averaged 44.3%. Prior to the election of the 4th of December, 1954, the township of York inserted an ad- vertisement in the Globe and Mail appealing to the ratepayers to ex- press their views in an effective way on the administration of the affairs, of their municipality. The. following figures were published to prove the necessity of their appeal: Number Number ' Percentage - of Voters Voting of Vote 1951 .. 57,681 16,470 28,56% 1952 ...57,901 15,547 26.85% 1953 .59,526 12,985 21.81% While the avera,ge,of the muni- cipalities in the County of Huron is much higher than the above figures indicate for the Township of York, there is considerable room for. improvement in every muni- cipality in Ontario. The official opening of the House on Tuesday, February 8th, was adequately covered in the daily papers represented by 15 to 20 reporters who are on hand in the Press gallery, It is my intention to explain the inner workings or mechanical function, of,. the . Legis- lature and 'th'is will include the procedure in the passing ,of a bill, the work .of the committees, the operations of the different depart, ments, and the duties of the mem- bers, The Speech from the Throne was read by the Lieutenant -Governor, and this is actually prepared by the Prime Minister and outlines the new measures• and legislation which will be made effective dur- ing the session. Following this, the Aide -de -Camp received the Speech from the Lieutenant -Gover- nor and delivered it to Mr. Speak- er, at which paint the Lieutenant- Govern.or and ' his attendants re- tired' from the Chamber. Mr. Speaker ascended the Throne and read the prayers and this actually marked the opening of the session, because the busi- ness of the House was now in progress. Tribute After "the introduction of a BilI, and tributes to the memory of, the' late Minister of Lands and Forests,:. Welland Gemmell, and Hydro Chairman Robert Saunders, the House adjourned on a motion by the Prime Minister. On the following day a few mat- ters o'f routine business were in- , troduced and discussed and the members of a striking committee were 'Harried by the Premier. ' ,he first meeting of this committee was called for the following morning, Thursday, February 10th. Prior to this . meeting of the Striking Cent':mittee the Whips of the various parties prepared lists of their meihbers and the 'various Committees to which they will be named. Every member of the Legislature acts on four or five Committees and is sonietimes un- able to attend, all. meetings, since they frequently meet at the same time. Howev`e'r", a membei- does have the opportunity of attending the meeting which he , feels is the most important in its effect on: his particular constituency.
