DAVID BROWN DEALER Harvey M. Boyce Varna, Ontario Phone 626R31 committees have met and studied a variety of subjects. It is sate to say that the average member has received more information about theworking Orkin o the differentan- bran- ches ches of the f government than ever before. • The estimates of expenditures of every department for the current year, are most important. Each Minister introduces his estimates by a lengthy report on the work of his department, and this is. followed by a detailed tack of, each .item. All members are free to ask questions onevery item and of course the Opposition has this opportunity to question the Minister regarding how the money to be approved will be spent. This has occupied the time of the House for more than a week and will continue until about the last day. Many temporary employees are engaged for work in connection with the Session. There are pro- bably 30 in all. They act as at- tendants in the galleries and cloak rooms and perform a variety of duties only necessary while the House is in Session. These are mostly elderly men who have retired from their bus- iness or calling and are still able to rform light duties. There are also 11. Page Boys who are bright students at school and are in grades 6-7-8. Their duty is to carry messages and get papers and books required by the Members. It should be pointed out, none but Members of the Legislature and certain officials are permit- ted on the' floor of the House. For his reason, the Page Boys run all the errands which may be re- quired. They are usually smart, intel- ligent and active little lads and are dressed in Oxford suits, with white collars and black ties. A supervisor is in charge and sees that they are always well-groom- ed and attentive to their duties. During the session" they receive special instruction on Saturdays and at other times, but now they return to their duties at school. During the Session many groups of school children visit the Build- ings and 'sit in the gallery to list - ten to the proceedings. Other vis- iting groups are on hand from day to day and it is customary for the attendant or guide to inform the Members from the constituency to which they belong so that he will have an opportunity to meet them. As our county is quite some dis- tance from Toronto more of our people visit Toronto later in the year when the weather is more favorable. It is always a privilege for a Member to be informed when a group intends to visit the build- ings. He can then make arrange- ments for a guide, etc. well in ad- vance. Your Member Is always at the service of his constituents in this respect and sincerely hopes that school groups and Young People's will visit the Parliament Buildings and learn more of how our laws are made and how gov- ernment functions. The final act of. a Session is when the Lieutenant Governor en- ters the Chamber as the repres- entative of H.M. the Queen and gives Royal Assent to the Bills which have been passed'and which are read by the Clerk of the House. When I' commenced this series of letters it was my thought that your Member should try tb keep his constituents informed of at least part of what is taking place in the Legislature. Obviously, many other subjects have been dealt with upon which I could comment, but I also have in mind that our newspapers do not have unlimited space. My sincere thanks is hereby ex- tended to the Editor for the court- esy extended in publishing these rather unrelated articles and I do hope they may have been of some interest to the readers.

(This was while our convention delegate was conventioning) On Saturday the :alarm clock went off at four, and: by five we were on our way again. We fol- loWed route 66 all the way home, except for a trip up to Hoover Dam; and to view the Grand Can- yon. On Sunday night we were. peering into the Canyon at the, East Rim, just as it was, getting too dark to see much. That was our first glimpse of snow. By travelling day and night, and taking turns in the "bunk' which was the Well blanketed and cush- ioned back seat in the car,,. we were in. Fort Wayne, Indiana, at about seven Monday evening, and driving through snow and over ice again. (Continued from Leat, Week) I'm back .in Clinton now, after corning home on Tuesday at noon. We not only had supper in Tuc son but we stayed over night in a lovely motel, complete with show- er,'swimming pool ,and avenue of cactus and desert plants. The of- fice calledus at five o'clock, and we were on our way, at, daybreak, During the morning we spent some time at a roadside fruit stand at Tempe, where orange blossomson the acres of trees across the road, gave the air a heady fragrance. We understood that the trees bloomed and at the same time the fruit was ripening, so that at all times they were harvesting a crop while the next one was forming. From Tempe the road was short into Phoenix where he stopped to ask about lunch, only to find that they were experiencing a strike of restaurant workers. This meant that on Sunday, when usually there were a great number of per- sons out on the streets, and drop- ping in somewhere for lunch,, the big city was quiet. Fortunately. the big Jaycee annual rodeo was in full swing, so we found our way up to the fairgrounds, ensconced ourselves comfortably there and ate hot-dogs and peanuts while we watched the cowboys do their stuff. This rodeo was apparently one of the largest in the USA, if not in the world as they claimed:' Somehow we'felt'that the Calgary Stampede would top even Phoenix. However, the crowd began to gather as early as eleven o'clock, and by two when the program be- gan, all seats were full, and some 750 people were standing. The grandstand faced a particularly beautiful view, for the entire oval was framed, first by the lovely pastel coloured one -storey houses of the desert towns, then with a fringe of green made by the tall. date palms, and finally by a ring of far-off purplish mountains, against a perfect blue sky. We went on west of Phoenix through desert alternating with green fields, and after spending the night in a motel at a small spot called Gila Bend (pronounced hee-la) we proceeded in the morn- ing to the Mexican border and went into a small border village to do a little canny shopping. The natives have a great variety of unusual items on sale, and many of them cost a good deal when imported into the USA for sale. However, according to the customs man at this crossing, tourists are allowed to bring back $750 worth of material duty free, so we cer- tainly had no difficulty there. On Monday afternoon we passed through the Imperial Valley in southern California, and where ir- rigation has broeght out a para- dise valley of green Where once the brown desert defeated any at- tempt at making a living. Here we bought a newspaper, as we did in most centres.where we stopped, and fortunately ran across an article describing the valley in some detail. One man there men- tioned, was the owner of 1,000 acres, of which he and his sons farmed 750 acres. He had a plane, and all members of the family could fly, He also had a fairly large ranch near Cressna, Alberta, and made the trip there at least once a month by plane. Our route through the California mountain was pleasant, since af- ter crossing so much desert and prairie it was pleasant to see lush growth, and green trees instead of cactus. We went through San Diego acid up the west coast via a "freeway" which took about three lanes of traffic each way, with controlled access, entrance and exits which made travelling no trouble at all: Being on the in- side of this freeway however, we missed any view of the ocean. Monday1 night we spent in La- guna Beach, so that in the morn- ing we could drive about the bay: There are two islands practically encircled by a peninsula curving around from the north. All parts of the land are crowded with houses, stores, and fishing build- ings, and around the edge of each of the islands and both sides of the peninsula with sailing ships, motor boats, and small ships of all varieties and sizes. Before noon we were in Los Angeles, and had made an appear- ance at the Hotel Stater where the convention was taking place that took up on the trip. The first afternoon we visited the sea and drove for miles along the highway . which reaches for ..miles up the coast. We ate din ner in the famed Malibu Cafe, dawdled along the piers and fish- ing spots, watched the pelicans and seagulls, and returned to the: centre of the city in time to be- come discouraged with hotel pric- 1 es and finally find the. Paradise Motel on Sunset Boulevard, within walking distance of the convention hotel and the shopping district. We drove up to Hollywood Blvd.. that evening, and ate in a huge drug -store and soda -fountain. Wednesday and Thursday were shopping days, and on Friday, we visited the famed Farmer's Mar- ket, where we could have stayed for another couple of days, just *44-4 -h. 4-941-0. *4+e-* . * 1 1 * 0 4 AUBURN William Straughan is visiting his sister in Thamesville.

He said, "Plan your rose garden and don't grow too many kinds." He gave the names of some of the best ones. Following his address he showed a fi]m .on "Growing Roses Indoors." Mrs. G. R.
