m Pryde Boosts Huron
As Agricultural County
g
Thomas Pryde, BILA for Hur-
on, delivered his• maiden speech
of the Second Setnsion of the
23rdLegislature of OW:trio, Fri-
day, March 3. The NEWS -
RECORD is publishing the speech,
in two instalments the first
appearing herewith.
Mr. Speaker; the debate on the
Speech from the Throne is part
of our
parliamentary procedure
and much has been said and writ-
ten about its utility—with much
of which I agree. However, it
does not serve a very useful pur-
pose and members may offer sug-
glestions and criticisms, criticisms
that may be 'either constructive
or destructive, — Some are very
constructive and some very • de-
struotive. I honourthe practice
ofcongratulating the mover and
seconder of the reply to the
Speech from the Throne, first of
all, because since the end of the
last Session they were elected to
their respective constituencies,
and secondly, they have brought
great credit to themselves ani to
this House by their able addresses.
I hope that we hear from them
on many occasions.
I would like also to comment.
et this time on my own behalf,
and I am sure' on behalf of all
the hon. members of the House,
on the absence .of some of our
hon. members on account of sick -
nests: I am sure that I express
the hopes of myself and all the
hon. members that they will soon
be returned to normal health.
Some of the speeches this far
have been ably delivered and con-
tained much to think about. How -

THOMAS PRYDE
MIA for Huron
ever, a great deal of what has
been said by honourable members
on the opposite side of this -House
has, in my opinion, been aimed
at the wrong target. Ifthey had
fired their ammunition and direct-
ed it at Ottawa, it would hit the
target. But here it was directed
at the wrong time. What war said
would have made wonderful op-
position speeches at Ottawa,
No one in this House will dis-
pute the assertion of the Leader
of the Opposition (Mr. Jolliffe)
that sonething•surely can be done
about what he described as the
"food paradox", where there is
an abundance- of food in Canada*
and in the United States and
elsewhere, in Europe, there are
people who are, reputedly, go-
ing hungry. Great efforts have
been made to alleviate this sit-
uation, but so far without com-
plete success. However, it is out-
side the burden of this Legislat-
ure and this government, and 'I
do not think we clan do much
about it, The great humanitarian
appeal of the member fol He11-
woods (Mr. MacLeod) has much
to commend it. There, is not an
honorable member in this House
who does not regret the fact that,
many men ere jobless and find � f nd it
necessary to sleep on the floor of
the Fred Victor Mission. I heart-
ily agree with the honorable mem-
ber for Bellwoods (Mr, MacLeod).
We on this side of the House
take second place to no one in
our desire to alleviate human suf-
fering and want. Possibly all of
us would like to help these people,
but .we do not go, dawn there et
night; we feel. tht it is someone
else's business and I do not think
that it is the direct responsibility
of this government.
I can agree also with the mem-
ber for Grey South (Mr. Oliver)
in much that he said about the
necessity for some plan to re-
alloci,ute the responsibilities of the
various levels of government in
this country.
Wedoregret the fact that many
mien are jobless, and hundreds are
obliged to sleep on floors, but
that is something that is outside

the jurisdiction of this gover
ment. If you go into many offs
Or buildings, you will find a
see a picture of a dog in
agony because of a fight with
porcupine, and people will s
that the dog got into that co
dition because it did not mind
own business. Let us mind
own business. We have ma
things to take up our attentio
and although not. unaware o£
suffering, I believe it is not
responsibility of this governme
to find a direct remedy by givin
them relief. The member for Gre
South' (Mr. Oliver) said a great
deal about the grants that have
been given by this government
to municipalities in aid of edu-
cation and -other municipal mat-
ters. He stressed that although
these grants. were given, hard-
ships, stili persist, I ,agree with
the member for Grey South (Mr.
Oliver) about the necessity for
some plan to re -allocate the re-
sponsibilities of the various levels
of government In this country. No
one can deny_ municipal budgets
are steadily increasing, not be
cause of grants, but in spite of
grants. Without grants, municipal
affairs would have been in a
chaotic condition, and this be-
cause of°the rising costs of every-
thing and increased demands. d
agree that the time has arrived,
when an effort will have to be
made to arrive at a point to
determine the responsibilities of
all various level' of govern-
ment.
There is a manifest need for
complete revision of .powers and
duties. Municipal finances are
not now able to carry the burden.
At this 'time I think'it is a little
premature. I am sure that our
honorable Prime Minister (Mr.
Frost) at the Dontinion-Provincial
Cyonference will do all in his
power and will use his influence
to have this thrashed out, and
the burden re -distributed so that
we will be able to carry on bet-
ter than at the present tire,
I would like to speak fol;, a Few
minutes regarding the policies of
the government, and of how they
have been of such great benefit
to my own particular riding. First
of all, mine is an agricultural rld-
ing, and agriculture takes first
place. That is a primary concern
to all of us, but it is more so to
rural members. Farmers feel that
falling prices will affect. them
first, and are naturally most
alarmed at present tendencies in
that direction.

Before and After.
Jerry had a here Hp and cleft
palate. Jerry was most' sensi-
tive about his appearance and
in order to avoid the thought-
less remnants of his little com-
I do not want to bore you with
figures. A, few days ago I was
speaking to a member for a city
riding and he said he liked rural
members to speak because the
city • members were concerned
mostly with city affairs, and
should like to hear about the
country, As the honorable mem-
bers know, the recent cancella-
tioo of food contracts with Britain
may have far-reachhtg effects,
and although I do not excuse the
Federal government, we nnj, t ad-
mit that conditions beyond their
control are mainly responsible.
That situation affects the farmers.
The cancellation of the British
contract will heve great effect. We,
cannot do a great deal about it,
but I appeal to you, as iedivid-
uais, to go home and also to speak
to your friends to eat at Ieast one
more egg per day.
1 want to get in. a boost for
Huron. To continue with eggs,
and how they affect Huron
County we are a great egg pro-
ducing county. The poultry pop-
ulation in 1948 was 1,218,000 —
that is a lot of hens. 218,325 oases
of eggs, 30 dozen eggs to the
case, were delivered to the var-
ious egg-:gradieg stations in the
county in the same year. That
means 781/2 .million eggs. In every
county we have an agricultural
representative and he is an im-
portant .roan and a key figure.
His office is a focal point for all
farmers,
The Department of Agriculture
has been of great a.tsistance'to my
riding. I know many more of my
colleagues will speak on agricul-
tural matters, but I would like to
deal with a few. I should like to
sketch some of the activities of
the county. We have a Beef Pro-
ducers Association in the county,
and a Swine Producers Associa-
tion, and a Crop Improvement
Association.
Huron County produces all the
important crops in Ontario, with
the ' exception of tobacco. Their
object is to find better methods
to produce better foods. Some
of the greatest work in the agri-
cultural field' has been one by
the junior farmers. The Junior
farmers are doing a great work,
and they are a very weal organiz-
ed group of young men and wom-
en. They are well organized and
they have eleven subsections or
clubs, There are six clubs for
calves, one for swine, two for
grain, one for turnips, and one
for tractor maintenance. They are
highly developed, and are being
developed on an ever-increasing
scale. They have their social
activities, and they ere doing a
great work to make life on the
farm in the rural districts, more
attractive than in the past. They
are doing a tremendous work on
something that will be of great
help in the future,• because they
are trying to make life attractive
for people on the farm, and by
keeping Ontario boy on the farm,
and continuing the old system of
keeping the farm in the family.
That will be a great "benefit to
this province.
I would like to say that a group
of them will be here a week from
Monday, and you will have an
opportunity to see them, and you
will be able to judge by their
appearance and their ,manners
when you look at them, of their
character. You will find that they
are a great bunch of people.
Some Honorable Members;
Hear, hear,
Mr. Pryde; A year ago we
passed the Community Centres
Act, which Was to do primarily
with assistance to rural districts
in building ,community centres,
Four pieces in Huron have taken
advantage of that Act during the
past year, and they will serve a
real purpose in their respective
communities. 1 do not like to
take advantage of anyone not
here, but my friend, the honor-
able member for Wellington,
North (Mr. McEwing) comment-
ed on this legislation. The Com-
munity Centres Act has been on
the list since 1934, or before, and

power, and we wanted a com-
munity hall in our town we tried
to get a grant, and they said no
fund had been provided. I be -
Neve that during "the whole term
of office of that party no grant
was made. It was $2,000 then,
and now it is $5,000. `2
Some Honorable Members:
Hear, hear.
Mr. Pryde: I think we should
take time at this point to say
how prod we are of our county,
end it would not be amiss to refer
to . our radio station CKNX—
Wingham. It is a reel institution
in the county. I bring it up be-
cause it affords free time to the
:agricultural representative 7 to
bring matters of interest to the r
farmers and gives notes on the
various activities going on. It is
a real need in the county, and I
am glad to mention something of
its work.
Before leaving the discussion
of the• farm, I and going to men-
tion something that is important I'
to ell of us, particularly in the
rural districts of Ontario, end
that is daylight saving time, I
am all in favour of daylight sav-
ing time and the municipalities
should have the right to deter -
nine whether to adapt it or not.
But I
say somethingcult be
done as to the 'time shhen it will
be brought in and when it will
be terminated. Last year, due
to the action of the Toronto city
council, it was dhaotic. Laat year
after the normal time for return-
ing to standard time; if you went
from one municipality to another,
you would not know whether it
was standard time or daylight
saving time. It would be day-
light saving in one municipality,,
and standard time in another,
That was all due, or in a great
measure it was due, to the action
of the Toronto city council. They
said that there was a polder short-
age, and their actions might ,have
been justified; but we have it now
on the authority of the chairrn,an
of the Hydro Comnmiseion that we
are not likely , to have power
ehorbages this year. I hope some-
thing can be done so that we
will not have the same conditions
this yeas' as last.
