Very few Bills have actually com- pleted their passage through the house, but the bulk of the Legislation has gone through its initial stages and it is only a matter of form until many of them become Law, The Throne .Speech Debate Which concluded on March 10th has taken up quite a portion of the time. Over 30 members have spoken in this -de- bate, Their speeches have ranged over a wide field and have covered everything from Highway Safety to Electric Light Bulbs, and the mater- ial in farm implements, A member may introduce any subject into his speech and he usually takes the op- portunity of drawing' public atten- tion to things which concern his own Riding. This has often been scoffed at and regarded as a waste of time, but it has much value and might be regarded as "Democracy in. Action". Standing Committees have been meeting every inorning, hearing dele- gations and interested parties who wish to make representations to the Government. One such Committee is the Agricultural Committee. A Bill which is of more than passing inter- est to the people in Huron' County is known as 13111 68, an Act "respecting the Milk Industry" This is a consoli- dation of several Acts relating to the Dairy Industry and provides for a Commission to be known as the Milk Industry Commission and its pur- pose, as stated in the Bill, is "to pro- mote research with respect to the producing and marketing of milk, and to determine standards, etc.". This Legislation was requested by the Federation of Agriculture, and has the approval of the Dairy Com- mittee groups. The Bill, after first reading in the House, was referred to the Agricultural Committee where representatives of these groups pre- sented their views. The distributors and manufacturers voiced objections and asked for time to study the pro- posed Legislation. This was granted and the Bill will again come before the Agricultural Committee in an- other week or so, when further ar- gument will be heard. Several Select Committees have reported to the House the result of their investigations. After study of the report by the Government, Leg- islation will likely be introduced to implement some of the recommenda- tions. Ono of the Select Committees which has reported, is the 'Cemeter- ies Committee. This dealt with: 1. The establishment of new cem- eteries particularly near the large centers of population. 2. The investment of perpetual care funds to provide safeguards so that the monies will be used for their in- tended purpose. 3. Certain measures to help re- habilitate old and abandoned ceme- teries. The Select Committee on Reform Institutions also presented its re- port. This is claimed to be the most voluminous report ever presented to the Legislature and covers 455 pages and includes 142 recommendations. The findings of this Committee re- vealed many serious problems not fully realized by most people, but which should be of vital interest to all citizens of Ontario. The writer was a member of this Committee and found it an intensely interesting and profitable experience. On March llth, the Premier,in ibis capacity as Provincial Treasurer, presented the Budget. This, as most people are aware, is a report on the financial affairs of the Province and covers all phases of Government. It reflects the economic conditions throughout the Province and the en- larged and expanded services of the Government. I will not quote fig- ures except to say that the estimated revenue for the year ending March lst, is over $362,000,000. Special grants have been made to the Gen- eral Hospitals throughout the Pro- vince to assist them with their diffi- culties ancl those in Huron County will receive special aid as follows: Clinton $10,800; Goderich $17,- 400; Seaforth $11,700; South Huron $10,800; Wingham $12,000. VARNA The Varna Branch Red Cross held their annual meeting in the township hall on Monday evening of this week. Officer$ elected were Pres., George Reid; lst Vice Pres., John McAsh; 2nd Vice Pres., Fred McGlymont. A vote of appreciation was sent to the Sec.-Treas., Miss Rachael Johnston for her services over the past numb- er of years, also wishing her a speedy recovery. It was decided to make the yearly canvass as an objective of $250.00 is being asked for, so please have your donation ready when the can- vassers call. The annual meeting of the Varna Associate Library was held in the Library on March 15. The Board of Directors elected are as follows: Rev. T. J. Pitt, Mr. Fred Watson, Mrs. Sherlock Keyes, Mrs. Harold Elliott, Mr. A. Mustard, Mr. George Reid, Mr. John Smith, Mr. Fred Me- Clymont, Mr. Elmer Webster. Misses Mary and Margaret McCly- mont of Toronto spent the weekend at their home here. RED CROSS MERCY NEVER ENDS The Red Cross drive is in town did you know,. Yes, I heard it over the Radio; -- They called today, I was glad I was here, And glad to give more than we did last year. "It is not what we gain but what we give That measures the worth of the life we live". This quotation sounds like a Red Cross man, Put him down for a good Samaritan. When disaster strikes, be it fire or flood, Or famine, 'quake or Korean mud, A Florence Nightingale is standing by To render first aid lest many should die, There's not an hour, not a single minute, But Red Cross mercy is wrapped up in it; There is not a week, not even a day, But a Red Cross nurse will be asked to pray. What of the anxious home -loving mother, Husband away, maybe son or bro- ther: So let ns all give with an open purse, Yes, and say a prayer for the Red Cross Nurse. —JOHN BEATTIE ORILLiA DEFAULTS SERIES TO SEAFORTH JUNIORS Orillia has defaulted the rest of the games in the Junior B semi- finals with Seaforth, the Baldwins having won 12-0 on -Saturday here and 84 at Orillia on Tuesday.

C, Boswell, the campaign treasurer, or with Rev. D. G, Camp- bell, the general ohairman. The allocation to the district is $2000. Give generously to keep your Red Cross ready.
