C. A. Robertson, the Lib • - era; eandiddtte who downed John Joynt in the last battle during which the principal issue ran far wide of 4 thirst for knowledge. ' The handling of rural schools and their educational problems has been the principal concern of the mem,. • ber for l4orth Huron and he has managed r to give the Government sonethirA to think over at times ; during the session, which is an ' acytievement for a new member en - .,gaged in winning his spurs in the verbal arena on Parliament Hill. . And just to show that he has a grasp of a number of other mat- ters, Mr. Robertson has also taken the Government to task over high- ' ways, the Hydro -Electric and the newly launched temperance meas- ure which is to provide plenty of liquor to all whether they want it or not. The higher education has also come in for the attention of the member for North Huron. When Premier Ferguson told a startled university staff that he figured on putting second year 'varsity work in the collegiate institutes he stir- Ted tip something. Mr. Robertson was one of those who had some• thing to say on the subject. Briefly he informed the House that something was going to suffer if the premier was allowed to go ahead with this pet scheme of Either the province would bole to provide several score of teaching taffs in the collegiates of the ca-; bre of the staff at the university a considerable increase in costs local centres, or inferior staIf.i C. A. ROBERTSON to the university would be handing out an inferior. grade of education for the two most valuable years of an undergraduate's life and educa- tion would suffer. Whether this criticism had any bearing on the matter or not is not known; it is significant that the premier has quietly dropped his scheme and it is hinted that the university has been informed that there will be no attempt made to put in the new system Premier Ferguson promised during the heat of the campaign. The bringing home of political chickens to roost is the favorite task of the Opposition and the member for North Huron proved that he could contract the habit, in speaking on the Speech from the Throne he touched on the liq- uor question and twitted the prem- ier in doing so, "I have great mlegivingr of the sur cess of any Act whim will make legal the >;tle of liquor and yet preached advanced temperance, Even in the Conservative party they are very divided on the question. claim the .,right to vote against Gov- ernment Contra] and I don't think ibat even the Premier will deny me that richt because he gave my oppon- ent permission to vote against the Act" said Mr. Robertson referring to- the othe dispensation given John Joynt to go his own way on the Control meas- ure, The Government benches took this with smites and the rank and file - members with applause. Like school boys the House enjoys anything to make Teacher look a trifle foolish and thre member for North Huron then proceeded to say that he hoped that Government Control would prove as successful a temperance measure as the Con: ervative party, the public and the brewers and distillers hoped it would. • Possibly because he is an United Church cleric who appears to have enmehow strayed into the wrong camp Rev, W. G. Martin, Brantford Con- servative usually manages to get a rap over the knuckles after he has contributed something to the Parlia- mentary flow of eloquence. The member for Brantford had some left- handed thrusts to give the church for work done on thep rohibi t•i on side daring the campaign and his remarks stirred up Mr. Robertson for North Huron is a stronghold of the churches. "The reverend member has appar- ently forsaken the church for the Conservstive party and it is only nat- ural .that he world take that attitude, T expect that the Conservative party will son to it that he gets his reward. TP floe,. Mot ]rm in osier i•n e•tve ,neral snnport T can say that.moral support i.s needed for this measure" said Mr. Robertson. And this drew a denial from the reverend member for Brantford that he had deserted the church. The North Huron man couldn't see the contention of Government mem- bers that the cost of education didn't: much matter. "The people are will- ing to nay for education but they want value for their money" he told the House in attacking the grant sys- tem to rural schools. Briefly Mr. Robertson couldn't see the justice in the way of making grants to teachers at the present time. The present system allows a Government grant based upon salary which Mr. Robert- son thinks wrong. He wanted the grant made on eualiflcations in place of salary. Ill this way the teacher with snnerior ability and giving more educational value to the school would get a larger grant. Then the Premier's pet project of nutting second year university work into the collegiates was characterized I as a "half-baked scheme." "These I propositions for changing the educa- tional system hanging over the people is not good for education. Education should be stabilized and not constant- ly upset" said Mr. Robertson. What the Government-owned and controlled Hyclro was doing for rural transmission lines and rural electric current consumers generally was called much of a farce by the member for North Huron. IIe pointed out that, while the Hydro did pay a con- siderable portion of the cost of trans- mission lines that Hydro was support- ed entirely by the province and could go farther and make power and light a whole lot easier to secure and cheaper fo rthe farmers and not make the benefits of Hydro more or less of a city monopoly. Provincial highways were also given a touch up. Too much attention was being paid to the main trunk lines which provided highways mainly for fleets of city trucks and autos for through trips and too little to the feeder roads which the farmer used more than he did the expensive high- ways. Mr. Robertson suggested that the best way to collect what the pro- vinee should get in revenue from the auto owners would be in a tax on gas- oline. "Some of our best highways are used about ninety per cent by through city to city traffic but the farmer has to pay a good deal greater percentage of the cost than his nee of the road warrants" Mr. Robertson told the Government. But the member for North Huron played his ace card when he put the connundrum to the Premier of "when is Government control not under con- trol of the Government", The an- . steer appeared to be when it clashed with the old Canada Temperance Act and the courts may yet have to an - ewer the fuestion that the Ion, Mr, Ferguson couldn't. The Premier told Mr. 'Netherton that the new Control "Commission would look after endear - ageing matters of that sett.

The member for North Huron in- troduced the matter first in Commit- tee and set the Government hives buzzing. What he wanted to know was just how Government Centre] would effect his own riding where the vote was for prohibition and where the Government proposed to establish liquor stores. North Huron said that it didn't want liquor stores and said k emphatically. The member propos- es to see that North Huron doesn't get what it doesn't want. . This is how the matter stands as explained by the mcmb,r for Nnrtli Huron. When the 0. T. A. arrived the Canada Temperance Act was in force in some of the ridings. Accord- ing to the way matters were inter- preted the C. T. A. could be, and was suspended in favor of the 0. T. A. because the 0. T. A. was more re- pass the buck to the Control Com- strictive than the Canada Temperance Act. The 0. T. A. didn't allow ,m•• portation of liquor into any riding where the G. T. A. did. So that C. T. A. stood suspended by consent of the House because the 0. T. A. went farther on the path of prohibition than the old Act. .All well and good until Govern- ment Control put in its appearance. Ottawa allowed the suspension of the C. T. A. But it may be another mat- ter when continued suspension of the Act comes around in favor of this new measure. "The Canada Tem- perance Act is once again in force in North Huron" argued Mr. Robertson and then asked the Premier what he intended to do about it. Premier Fer- guson declared that he intended to mission without any loss of time. Then the member for North Huron. insisted that the Government Control supporters in his riding were expect- ing to get a liquor store and hinted that there would be a considerable battle from the temperance forces before they got it. There the matter rests for the present but it looks as if the courts would be asked to de- clare the Member for North Huron right if there is any attempt on the part of the Government to make a 'new oasis in his riding. Mr. Robertson has so far batted a- bout 1,000 in asking questions which have not been answered. He wanted to know what the Government had done towards appointing a new chairman for the Board of Censors. No answer as yet. Then he enquired why the Government was still paying grants tocity houses of refuge where long since such grants had been cut out and never renewed for country in- stitutions of the same character. This 'matter is being looked up. It may result in the country institutions gett- ing in on some of the free distribut- ion of their own taxes or it may re- sult in city institutions losing out on the little favor they have received. But anyway it turns out it has given PAINTING AND Paper Hanging Tho undersigned wishes to an- nounce that he ie prepared to handle all kinds of jobs in the above linos, and wile endeavor to give the best of satiYfaction. Pricees reasonahie and work promptly attended to Alen, Coleman PJtono 6411 Brussels, the Government something to ponder over. When the Township Board I3i11 was introduced Mr. Robertson had some- thing to sty. "Why change a system which has produced .ao many good teen when you don't: know exactly .fust how this new act is going to work?" he enquired, While the member for South Huron could see Some merit in the bill he couldn't see that it would either help education or the Onitnres of the township schools. His objection was that the towns - ships, under the new scheme of eom- kining schools taking the pupils to the schools would have to spend quite a bit of money. We thought that it might even cost tate provincial treas- urer more money, which is a matter close to the heart of every member. Further he .stated that the new Act would possibly prove unfair to present -1 union schools in overlapping counties, Old arrangements would be broken up and much time and trouble result from the new idea. While the idea of combining town- ships and having one representative from each school section might be all right in theory he asked the Premier how the thing would work out in fact. Fier another thing he figured that it might result in extra. expenses for the sections where pupils already had high school facilities. However, with the huge government majority the hill had no chance of defeat. So that was that. it .erg: alio There t 'al!,erta is now the largest produt.er and ct.rc. in Canada.

This is one of the most im- portant uses to which aerial photo- graphy has been adapted. A bill to establish a fish, game and wild life sanctuary in the in- terior of Nova Scotia has been pass- ed in the Legislature. The sanctu- nry is to be located at the intersec- tion of the comities of Annapolis, Digby, Yarmouth and Shelburne - Queens. Others may follow in other parts of the province in the near future. A large single shipment of motor oil, a solid trainload of 26 ears of Marvelube, left Sarnia for various points in the west, but mostly for Vancouver. The oil is a Canadian - manufactured product which has been developed within the past year. At Fort William the special train was handed over to the Canadian Pacific Railway for exhibition along its lines. Announcement of the offer of two scholarships annually by E. W.

A prize of $500 is attached to each scholarship. According to the department of Colonization and Development of the Canadian Pacific Its'" ---y, there is every indication that there will be a great increase in the number of immigrants coming to Canada this year comnar'ed with the num- ber locating during 1926. It has been estimated that immigration figures for this year will be ahnost dt'iblc those of the nest year.
