By Tom Pryde,
For .the past, -several years I
have written a report front the
'Legislature which you have
printed. Thesis' article's were
mainly 'concerned with the func-
tions of ;the Legislature and oth-
er matters. non-political. It was
felt, however, that anything 1
might write this year would be a
repetition so 1 deeded against a
continuance of the practice.
However, since the Session has
now -drawn to a close, I feel a
.brief review of what has taken
place might he of interest to
your readers. •
The Session opened on Febru-
ary lot with the usual Speech
from the 'Throne, in which some
-very important measures were
forecast and much of it actually
translated into legislation. ,Sorrie-
thing of very real importance to
Western Ontario has been start-
ed on its course. The Ontario
Water Resources .0ommission
has been formed. Its function
WM be to devise ways and means
of piping water from bhe Great
Lakes to .cities and towns which
have not an adequate supply
readily available to take care of
their expansion and ever increas-
ing needs. It will also have pow-
er to control and try to correct
the problem of pollution of our
rivers and streams. This is a
huge undertaking and will in-
volve millions of dollars of
penditure and years of work.

How can YOU benefit from
having a Current Account?
You'll find it much easier to keep an accurate record of
your current expenses when you have a Current
Account.
When you pay all bills by cheque on your Current
Account, you receive back, at the end of each month, all
your cancelled cheques as well as a bank statement
showing every Withdrawal and every deposit you have
rnade. The cancelled cheques serve as receipts—and are
accepted in court as evidence of paymmt of the amount
shown. Furthermore, they are much easier to file
away than receipts and take less room to store. With
them and your bank statements, you'll find it far easier
to get an exact picture of how you spend your money.
So it's a good move to use a Current Account for paying
all current bills—and keep your Savings Account for
actual savings.

The 'Budget indicated that the
revenue .and also the spending
will be at the 'highest level in
the 'history of the province.
Highway expenditures will be at
an all 'time high, In Huron the
work at present in. 'progress on
No. 8 will be continued. Paving
will be completed between Clin-
ton and Goderieh; the grading
and culverts east of Sealorth will
also be finished and money is
provided in 'the estimates for
paving as soon as the road is in
condition for this ;operation. A
similar situation exists on High-
way No. .8.3 East of Exeter.
When grading is completed, pav-
ing is provided for. As .consider-
alble planning and engineering
work is necessary before actual
construction commences, I May
say that the highways in the
;Comity will net lbe neglected
and engineering work is well in
hand. 'The expenditures on high
Ways far exceeds 'the revenue.
The income from rgasoline taxes
and the license lees for cars and
trucks, etc, twill approximate 140
million dollars. Expenditure on
new construction will .cost 'ap-
proximately 85 million dollars;
maintenance will absorb 48 mil-
lion dollars; municipal subsidies
for the .maintenance of their
.own roads and streets 'will ac-
count for 50 million dollars. In
addition, some 11 million -dollars
will be spent in acquiring land
for widening existing roads and
building -new leurlane high -

Over 108 million dollars is al-
lotted to education, which, with
the expenditures 'at the Ontario
Agricultural College, will ac-
count 1 or 28 per cent of total
government span:dim g. New
schools are required in increas-
ingnuanbers, particulary in rthe
vicinity of bhe large .cities.
Grants to school boards Tor new
construction have been reduced
but all are treated alike. The
grant per room is the same for
a city school as it is for .a sinall
town.
In all, over one hundred and
forty biis were enac.ted. iSoane
of rbhese, of .course, were of a
-nature and involved sim-
ple .theriges tin the wording of
an existing Act but rdesigned 'to
clarify its meaning. Others are
designed to aneet special situat-
tons, ;while still others have a

lOommittees perform a very
real part of ibhe work of the
Session. Sixteen 'committees in
all were appointed and your re-
presentative was a member of
fourteen of them. As•.cornmittee
meetings are held ipractic-ally
every morning after the first
week of the Session, it would
seem to indicate a very busy
time 'for the .mernibers.
As 'previously intimated, a
special session rof the Legislat-
ure will fire ;called, probably in
June, .and there is a likelihood
that another one will 'be held in
the fall -of the year. In view of
all 'of this, it will be seen that
the job" of being ad member of
the rLegislature is becoming a

ON CAFETERIA FEEDS
Bill Henderson is raising
MORE Pullets with LESS Feed
and they're the best pullets he ever turned out
You don't have to go far from home to find convincing proof that
Cafeteria feeds are the best you can buy for starting chicks and raising
pullets. In the first three months of this season ... December, January
and February... "Henderson's Started Chicks" raised and sold 8,000
more pullets than in the same three months of last year. ... and they
actually used less feed. This year, they fed Cafeteria ... last year, they
fed a different brand.
On Cafeteria, the birds were satisfied with less feed per day, and at
12 weeks old, they were stronger boned, better feathered, and more
uniform in all-round development. One lot of 4,800 Sussex - R.I. Red
crossbreds went through to 12 weeks old on 16 tons of Cafeteria Chicks
Starter and Chick Grower crumbles, plus a small' amount of scratch
grain...approximately 8 lbs. total feed per bird...and their average
weight was right around 3 lbs. One lot of Leghorn X Red pullets went
to 12 weeks With a loss of only 8 chicks...and another lot of 1,025
Leghorn X Rock chicks, plus extras, gave 1,028 saleable pullets at
10 weeks,
When you start good chicks and feed Cafeteria, ybu can count on profit-
making results. Come in and let us give you further particUlars.
