Bluevale.
The closing session of the Mock
Parliament was a great improvement
on its predecessors in attendance and
procedure showing the benefits of the
Parliamentary training received by
the members. The debate on the bill
to tax bachelors on a eliding scale was
resumed by R. Black for the Opposi-
tion, The speaker quoted freely from
St. Paul in defense of bachelors while
leader Shaw refuted ,a statement of a
Government member that bachelors
suffered in health from eating store
bread with too much alum in it, by
pointing to his own personal appear-
ance which he claimed had been al-
together built up by the use of bakers'
bread. Miss Lilian M,:Oall in one of
the most forceful speeches of the de-
bate warmly defended bachelors and
cited many illustrious examples of
eminent men who were addicted to
this so-called vice. The Minister of
Education, A. L. Pusliff, spoke in
defence of the Bill and the Minister of
Forests and Mines made another fine
oration combining poetry. sentiment
and stdisttee in support of early mar-
tiage+. Before the vote was taken
the opposition insisted on receiving
anawere to several questions they had
milted the previous night, In reply
to Mee Scott asking if extrapolice
protection wag to be provided In Blue -
vale Sunday nights ae there were so
many girls on the streets atter church
it was no longer safe for a young man
to be out without an escort, the At'
torney-General, Arch Reeser, said that
there was no need of running the
country Into the extra expenees of
enlarging the police force; if the other
young mean would go straight home
from church the way' he did they
would never be molested, The Minis.
ter of Agriculture drew attention to
the progressive policy of this depart-
ment which would be more fully an-
nounced at a seriee of public meetings
to be opened in Bluevale on the follow.
ing Wednesday night when the sub-
jects of District agricultural Repre,
aentatives, Agricultural education in
the public schools, eto., would be die -
caned by expert speakeis. At the
()lose of the debate a oalegram was
brought in by a member for the Pre•
tater whirr, he read to the House, an
nouneing that the Canadian troops,
many from Huron County, were coy.
Bring themselves with glory With the
aid of shirts and socks from the Ivo -
Men of Bluevale. The message drew
from Premier King a stirring patric.
tic address In which he was ably
seconded by the leader of the opposi•
tion and the House joined in cheers
and applause. The Parliament was
formally porogued by Lieutenant
Governor Thompson who read with
impressive effect his review of the
Legislation passed during the session
and when he7 had been escorted from
the chamber the standing members
heartily united in singing the Nation-
al Anthem.
After the close of the Parliament a
fine program was given when the
Literary Society had the unusual
pleasure of hearing two talented
musicians who have been visiting in
thie district, Mrs. Geo. Thompson of
Brussels and Mere Mildred McCall of
Toronto. Mrs. Thompson played
several piano numbers which were
received with great applause. Mise
McCall, who is a pupil of Dr. Edward
Broone, is a singer whose equal has
seldom been heard in Bluevale and
sang "Caller Herrin", "Philosophy"
and several other songs in a way that
delighted her hearere. The apprecia-
tion of the audience for the entertain-
ment so graciously given was voiced
by A. MacEwen and J. W. King at the
close of the program. Next Wednes
day night Rev. Crawford Tate will
give an address on "Historic Land -1
marks of the Niagara Peninsula."
Another forward step in .the pro-
gress of the Bluevale School is to be
launched next Friday afternoon,
March 12, when the parents, friends,
ratepayers, and all others interested
are requested to attend a meeting in
the schoolhouse from three to four
