:Premier Henry Makes. Announcement
Pronouncements respecting de -

tario Legislature, the gasoline tax,
and mortgage foreclosure proceed-

ing- to Ward 9 Conservatives in "Ma-

pnronouncenients were:
Smaller Legislature
1. I can say to you that a drastic
'cent' will be made in the number of
seats in the House—possibly down
to 90, or even less than that.
"2. An inquiry has been passed up
to zee, as to whether there will be
an increase in the gasoline tax. I
'can assure the audience that we will
let thein ride along on 6 cent gas
for a while longer.
"3. We feel that some further pro-
tection might be given to the home
'owner• and, as a result, we pro-
pose to recommend to the House
something that •will give the mortga-
gor a little protection; enabling him
to go to the County Judge—or to the
Master here -and seek to have an ad-
justment or an understanding with
the mortgagee, that he may have fur-
ther time to nmeet his payments."
Dealing with the matter of the pro-
posed redistribution of seats at
Queen's.. Park, Premier Henry said:
*'One economy which you will ap-
preciate is that of redistribution. We
have a membership in our Provincial
Legislature totalling 112. That has
'varied over the years, but always has
been on the increase, I think when
I entered the Legislature some 20
years ago, the membership stood at
105 or 106. Prior to that, and before
I had any knowledge of or acquaint
;`ante with Queen's Park, the number
was under' 100.. In 1914 the member-
ship was increased from 104 or 105
to 111; and some eight years ago I
had charge of a redistribution which
was largely a problem of apportion-
ing the ridings according 10 popula-•

Takes Early Dip!

week, a number of town kids went
for a,. dip. .First on the programme,
"Buster" McKenzie took a header in
the hole, where the ice was being cut.
Thinking the opportunity too good to
iet .slip, "Buster" hollered "C'm on in
fellers, the water's fine," and swam
around for a while. Some of the oth-
er kids, not to be outdone, whether
knowingly or otherwise, gracefully
followed the youngster into the "ol'
swimmin' hole," but not being so
fond of the water, promptly climbed
out again.
Mike Goetz, Jr,, fell partially into
the water. Mike Sr., .spying his son
in such an awkward position, got ex-
cited, made a sprint to assist in the
rescue, and came close to making a
hole in the ice as he took a beautiful
swan dive onto the ice, and nearly
went in head fprenepst,

OBJECTS OF GRADING
Administration of the regulations
fore the grading of farm products of-
fered for sale in so far as such regu-
lations have been established to date,
is vested n the several divisions of
i
the Dominion Live Stock Branch,
The grading of farm products in Can-
adaa
w s brought g t about essentially on
the voluntary basis, and it has done
much to stimulate demand and to ex-
tend products by reason of the, con-
fidence the known quality secures.
The securing of price : differentials
as an incentive to improved produc-
tion in live stock and live stock pro-
ducts requires, as a fundamental prin-
ciple, that these products should be
segregated on a basis of quality into
grades nationally known and nation-
ally used. The administration of
policies and legislation covering such
standardized grading is a natural fun-
ction of the Federal Department and
a 'major activity of the .Live Stock
Branch.
Grading is based on the principle
that it is sound business to classify
live stock products, in such a way
that the consumer will be able to re-
cognize and purchase quality pro-
ducts, and that the price premium
which the consumer will pay for the
better grades should be returned to
the producer of them.
Practice has proved the value of
the theoryy involved: in the grading
principle. The identification' of top
quality beef under red and bine rib-
bon'brands, the grading of poultry
the segregation gation of eggs into quality'
grades which are known to practical-
ly every Canadian consumer, these
and other grading activities have
been a tremendous incentive to qual-
ity production, with resultant puce
benefit to producers.
Grading has not only served to
create price differentials for quality
products but has, also, brought about
a substantial increase in consumption.
As a result of the hog grading regnr..
lations, for example, the general qual-
ity in bacon and pork products has
been so improved that a substantial
increase in consumption has resulted.
The grading of hogs has laid the
foundation for a steadily expanding•
industry, making available, in increas-
ing quantities, good quality bacon for
export. Woolgrading, also, has
stimulated the consumption of Can-
adian wool in Canada and has at the
same time provided a steady outlet
in the United Kingdom and other for-
eign markets. The grading and in-
spection of live stock products as
they enter into foreign trade is, in
fact, an essential adjunct to the main-
tenance of export markets.
