The government had ',ii"`majority of its bills ready for early introduction, and things were kept moving throughout, so that there was rather less than the usual speeding -up in the last day or two. Aside from : the Liquor _Control bill, there were several noteworthy moa- sires, such as Hon, William 'Finlay - r Son's reforestation -Mill; Hon. G. S. Henry's 'bills amending the Highway Traffic Act and taking control ef commercial public vehicles, (the lat ter to be effective later); Hon. J. S. Martin's Fruit :and Vegetable Con- signment'Act, and numerous bills by way of consolidation and" amendment, brought :in',as result of recommenda- tions from:the statute revision corn - mission. During the last few minutes of 'Thursday night's session announce- ment came from Premier Ferguson that the T. & N .'Railway would be r extended 0 miles into the Rouyn gold meting dIS ret of Quebec.

This applies to all vehicles having acarrying capacity of one-half ton or more if equipped with solid tires and of • one ton or more if equipped with pneumatic tires, whether Motor driven or horse drawn. it applies on every high-' way in the Province outside cities and towns. The Governmentrequests owners and drivers of trucks and wagons to obey this reason- able provision, but warns them that the penalties of The Highways Act will be' vigorously enforced ngainee those who neglect to do so. Frost heaves'the soil, and leaves it soft, porous and wet, For these reasons, it is at once the greatest fertilizer of the land and the greatest menace to the road. Foundations of hard -surfaced roads are wet and spongy in spring, even when the top is dry. Heavy loads churn" them. Fractures take place in the founda- tions. The surface thus is left weak because unsupported. On stone and macadam roads, heavy loads cut the surface as well. ;Che "metal" is forced down into the sub -grade through the spongy earth. Expensive repairs follow the abuse of any road in spring time. be an hour one single truck may cause damage which will cost thousands of dollars and take weeks to repair. As contributions to road building come from local municipalities as well as the Province, .such abuses are a particular offence against enterprising communities which provide good roads. In their interest, as well as that of the public at large, the Government makes this request,and issues this warning. Ontario Department of Highways The Hon. GEO. S.

The Minister expressed con- fidence that there would develop a new gold in the area from Wo Man Lake to Howie Lake and Savant Lake. He announced, amidst ap- plause of the House, that a 'custom' smelter -was, to be established to take care, particularly, of the ore got out mineral area about Sudbury. - Hon. John S. Martin concluded en Thursday afternobn -•):,three-hour speech on the work and programme of the department of .agriculture. It. was a comprehensive review, and greatly interested theHouise, particu- larly rugal members on both sides, Following a; report of the depart meat's effort , t• . have Washington modify ats' embargo on.millc,wput up as a result' ofethe' typhoid epidemic in Montreal, the Minister made an in: teresting statement hi regard to- the United States as a future market for Ontari'o',dairy products: Explaining in detail bow - the . milk and cream supply of the Middle West States is becoming' inadequate to sheet, as for- merly; the demands of great eastern cities, and that the United States' is• now a great importingcountry, in the- niatter of dairy products, •Mr, Martin: said "I think as time goes on more and more of our market ;will be just over the line. While we are shut out at the present time I am confident the day is not far "away- when the tariff wall, so far as dairy products are concerned, will be either cut down or eliminated. They need our pro- ducts, and we can always feel certain' they will look after thea own inter - este, and if they need our milk and cream they 'are going to gen it." The United States last year, the Minister said, imported ¢00,000,000.- pounds of milkor its equivalent. In connection with the cornborer menace, Mr. Mar- tin said that while efforts to combat, the pest had not been relaxed, the department was giving- assistance to those farmers in the southern coun- ties who were going' into tobacc'b as an alternative crop. . One more important announcement of nthe week came in the Hon. J. Il, Cooke's annual review of hydro activities and plans delivered in con- nection with the estimates. He re- ported the inauguration of a "13th bill" for 'rural power customers, in accordance with the method followed with urban centres. So successful has been the operation of rural hydro that a total surplus of $418,155 has ac- cumulated, and $236,892 is being rebated. The Minister said:: "There are at present in operation about 100 rural power districts, `and these re- bates will be sent out in -the course of a few days. They vary according to the -profits made. Many customers will get a cheque sufficient to pay their monthly bilis for the next three months, and some of them a cheque sufficient to pay their bills in rural power areas for the next 18 months." The statement that an entirely new schedule of Government school grants was in the .offing ,was made by Pre- mier Ferguson, following the discus sion in the Legislature of the town- ship school board bill. of .25 miles from • Swastika) that has • 1 .not been touched,, and. we are adver- tising for tenders to be M. next week. •The Prime Minister wants the road opened for the 'Confederation cele- bration. '"I, don't think we will have it open by July 1, but certainly bel;. fore September' 1. The trunk road from North .Bay ` to the Soo will re- quire considerable, repairs. We have been urged to build, a road westerly from the Soo to . connect with Port Arthur and Fort William, .But have not committed orlrrelves, a because there is aq .uestion whether it should be :located along ,the north shore of Lake .Superior erior; or farther north near t the Trancontinettal.

One of the amendments' will provide for a financial adjustment'as between various sections. Premier Ferguson before moving adjournment thanked the members for •their almost continuous good at- tendance and devotion to business. In moving a resolution, seconded by Mr. Sinclair,, iri connection with the 'tele-` bration of Confederation, the Prime Minister delivered • a reallyt note- worthy address which, in, the. dying ileum of the sessiofi struck an aper 1 pride note of patriotism. 'and publitc service. He deprecated' a tendency to criticize public men in a way that, far from being helpful, helped to keep outstanding men from entering pub lie service. In conclusion " he urged full co-operation and -fraternal feel- ing among all sections of Canada. "We must eliminate imaginery pro- vincial boundaries," he said,' "and make possible the freest intercourse and exchange under all circumstances between East and West, between centre and two extremes. We can only bring this about if we are prepared to look away into the future and build toward that objective; make up our minds we aro going to be broad enough to be Canadians and patriotic enough to be British citizens, tend let other countries of the world know that Canada is proud of the position. she occupies today among the nations of the world; that her people have firm confidence in her possibilities and future, and that we have an un- dying devotion. to Canadian, ideals and interests' that will, contribute in the future to the Impiorial forces that so generally direct and influence the affairs of the world." In that discussion the Prime Min- ister suggested that school attend- ance, which is now practically disre- garded for grant purposes, should be- come one of the bases of the.Govera- ment's assistance. When 'questioned upon the natter later by the press he stated, that it was the intention" of the Govermnent to adopt this plan and to alter the present method of disbursing, Government aid. Mr. Fer- guson stated that the change would not be made until the present litiga- tion with the separate schools, which concbrns the basis of apportioning grants between the public and separ- ate schools, shall be settled. Only for this litigation; he said, the Gevern- ment would have issued its new Sched- ule before now, but there -Wes the danger that any plan which might be adopted might be, overturned by the court's; decision in the separate school cont ove1'Sy, As soon as the cane: Was settled, however, the change in the basis of the grants Would be made, and attendance would become one of the 'basicfactors which are now dis- regarded. • The placing of the school grants, upon an ,attendance basis will have the effect of limiting the amount re- ceived by those rural :schools which aro: maintained for the instruction of less than ten, pupils.

She had one room thoroughly cleaned every month, and,, thus kept going the rounds and her house was never upset. She found this to be the plan that suited her best, it might not suit everyone. Each housewife must choose the plan that she thinks the best under her cir- cumstances. The only thing which might be urged upon her would be to work out a plan that will mean the least fate' ueipg to herself and upset- ting to her family. , Housecleaning is dreaded in most families, not only by the housewife, who has the bulk of the work to per-• tent, anyway, substituting ,spmething in the way of vegetables, greerienees if ;possible, Or fruit.
