THE NEW WARDEN •
At the opening meeting of the
County Council Tuesday afternoon,
the Liberals who control the warden
ship this year selected Reeve Peter
Doig, of Iiowick, as warden for 1921.
There were f,mr candidates in the
running, including Cordon Young, of
Colborne, Mat Armstrong. of Hullett,
and Dr. Grieve, of Setiforth. The
fight was a close one returning Doi, -
with a ntajoriiy of one over Young.
The new warden in taking his chair
briefly outlined some of the work fur
the corning
Year. A brass
tablet in
honor of the late Donald Patterson,
who died last year, and who was for
some fourteen years the county en-
gineer, was unveiled, Ex -Warden
Petty, of Hensall, performing the
ceremony.
The important business of the Coun-
cil on Tuesday was the appointing of
Reeves Armstrong, Beavers and Spot -
ton, as the good road commission
for the year.
The councillors were entertained at
a smoker by the clerk, treasurer and
engineer on Tuesday.
LEGISLATURE OPENED WITH
OLD-TIME POMP
Having devoted an afternoon to
ceremonial the Ontario Legislature
is now ready to proceed with the
business programme or with any inci-
dental free-for-alls that may cmp
up in the course of a session that
promises tmieh in inter -group con-
troversy and little in legislation. The
second session of the fifteenth Leg-
islature was opened Tuesday with
all the accustomed formality, about
the only departure from the "bril-
liant social "display” of past y; ars
being the appearance of the femi-
nine relatives of the Ministers and
members in afternoon instead of
evening dress. There was all the
old-time pomp attending the arrival
of the Lieutenant -Governor, from
travelling escort to artillery salute,
and the same old crush of curious
folk that jammed the floor of the
House and the galleries to the limit
of capacity. The crowds started to
arrive fully two hours before the
House opened, the line-up for the
galleries blocking the upper corri-
dor. The more exclusive Floor of
the House" crowd was not on hand
so early, but long before three o'clock
standing room was at a premium
and worried Ministers and members
were anxiously trying to find van-
tage points for late arriving rela-
tives. The members of the House
were crowded out of sight, and the
Lieutenant -Governor read the speech
from the Throne to a fluttering
feminine audience that thoroughly
dppreciated the honor even if they
id not listen closely to the speech
itself.
Practically the only representa-
tives of the male sex on the floor
. proper were those in the places re-
served for the "notables." Among
those present were Sir Robert Fal-
coner, J. D. Flavelle of the License
Board Sir Wlilliam Meredith, Jus-
tices Hodgins and Ferguson, Rev.
Dr. Chown, Archbishop McNeil and
Sir. Thomas White. 3. J. Morrison
was among those present, but the
genial U. F. O. secretary modestly
remained in the background, hanging
to a railing behind the back row of
• seats.
The Government House party
drove up accompanied by a detach-
ment of the Royal Canadian Dra-
goons. Outside the Buildings a
guard of honor of the 12th York
Rangers and their band awaited his
Honor, who with the officer- in
charge walked around and inspected
the guard. Then, as he stepped into
the buildings the unit of the Third
Brigade Field Artillery began firing
the salute of fifteen gums. Isis Honor
was met by Premier Drury, who
escorted hint into the Legislative
Chamber, the gathering rising re-
spectfully as it had a few minutes
before when Mrs. Clarke and her
daughter walker( tip the angle t.,
their places. After ase nding the
Speaker's dais the T.ieuteeent-Gov-
ernor accepted the ape"ch from his
bowing aide and began to rend:
The Speech From the Throne.
Mr. Speaker and Gent lenu•n of the
Legislative Assembly:
In opening this: Se+Jan i d.'alto
to give exprcessien tr the reeling or
profound gratitude which '.nr people
owe to Almighty Cm! rnr ,he
-mani-
fold blessing that thee from the
trangnility of oar reord ry, the eta-
bility of our ins' Ile hen and the
bountiful horeted of t' e pit erne
At the present te,,` 'he eivilived

Pief(t7bYs s. T11r Si Hal inn calls for wise
and gen4fous nrntinsels in oder that
industry pep.y he maintained and la-
bor affardeell every possible rippet'-
-itunity :rota -employment My Govern-
ment has found it arlviaable under
the circumstanes to extend finan-
eial assistance to provide relief for
the unemployed, and will initiate le -
thelation for public co-operation to
e same end. I trust that before
bang a general revival of business
activity will restore normal eondi-
tions in this Province.
The agricultural industry has suf-
fered materially from the rapid de-
flation of the market prices of farm
products, eta, and • the probable effect
of this loss upon our rural districts
Is a matter of importance to the
whole Province. A consideration of
the situation looking towards a bet-
ter understanding and a more gen-
eral co-operation between our rural
and urban populations will, 1 truer
lead to beneficial results and tend
toward reducing the runt of distri-
bution and bettering rural conditirans
in the Province.
One of the most practical ways
of improving the conditions of rural
life is by means of a judiciously di`
signed good roads systettt. This mat-
ter has been kept prominently be-
fore by Ministers during the past
year and much progress has been
made in the direction of broadening
the scope of the plans for high-
way improvements. It is felt good
roads are among the greatest Mater-
ial needs of the Province at the
present time, by reason of the fact
that they will not only help solve
the transportation problem and pro-
mote the economic welfare of the
whole community, but will also cun-
tnbute immeasurably to the conven-
ience and happiness of the people.
Scarcely less important to the gen-
eral welfare is the distribution of
electrical energy in the rural dis-
tricts, on terms more nearly ap-
proaching an equality with those un
which the urban population is sen' -
ed. Special study has been devoted
to this subject by a Committee of
the Legislative Assembly, and this
('ontrnittee has agreed upon findings
which will be litiet before you at an
early date. - de It will be found that the
report is not only a valuable con-
tribution to the information avail-
able on this subject, but that it ad-
vances important suggestions fur leg-
islative action.
During the Rtctas the Minister of
Agriculture visited Great Britain for
the purpose of studying conditions
in relation to immigration, the mar-
keting of the products of the Prov-
ince to better advantage, and the re-
moval of the embargo on cattle.
The attention of the Government
des been directed unceasingly dur-
ing the past year to the important
subject of education, with a view to
increasing the efficiency of both
rural and urban primary schools, as
well as the secondary schools of the
Province. The question of providing
,rhia,l Organizations to meet the
,,•e• .1s for fuller educational advan-
tages in rural districts will be dealt
with ,n a practical and comprehen-
sive manner. A (:.ommittce is at
Lassen, engaged in considering the
High School curses of study, :end
Fear relation to general education
end to vocational training. In due
,urae :1 report will be laid before
you giving the findings of the Corn -
nil: :en of enquiry into the subject
f university finances: Recognizing
the need of better educational facili-
ties for isolated settlements in the
North Country, the Government has
epe•ned a special forme of High School
nt Monteith. to which pupils may Ile
sent from districts where aelvi need
,'our'es of instruction have hitherto
been found impracticable. The stet-
( ass of the new school will have a
direct relation to some of the educa-
tional problems of Northern Ontario.
Measures to attain all these objects,
and to snake the educational system
worthy of the Province and equal to
the special needs of the time, will
he presented for your consideration.
The welfare of industrial workers
is a matter in which all classes are
deeply concerned. Under the legisla-
tion cif last Session, Minimum
Wage Board has been established
and a plan for the payment of moth-
ers' allowances has been put into
operation. These measures have met
with genera] acceptance and give
promise of satisfactory results. A
number of recommendations for leg-
islation for the welfare of labor have
been submitted to my Government,
some of which have been endorsed
by the international Labor Congress.
In this connection, certain measures
will be submitted to you, and in or-
der to facilitate the consideration of
such matters, you will be asked to
appoint a standing committee on la-
bel- legislation which will afford the
House the opportunity of hearing
and weighing the views of all par-
ties interested. The earnest desire of
the Government, and the people of
the Province i that s a your legislation
will promote harmony and progress
in our industrial relations.
It is a matter of much satisfaction
that the financial strength of Ontario
is so well recognized by the investing
i.ublic as to enable the Government
to secure advantageous terms on
the money market for the securities
of this Province. This fact was
demonstrated in a remarkable way
by the succesa of the recent Prnvin-
eial Innn. While the expenditure of
the Government under existing con-
ditions of high cost and expanding
undertakings has of necessity in-
creseed, the revenues air sufficiently
I uey:mt to moot the public require-
ments.

on this farm and have made a model
farm for your successors, and we
hope they will live long to enjoy it
and that they may serve the same as
you have during your long stay
amongst us, and that you may live
many more years to enjoy your new
home in Brodhagen. What is our
loss is their gain. Signed, George

CLINTON
Briefs. -The annual meeting of
Willie' ct•urch congregation was held
in the lecture room on Wednesday
evening of last week. The attend-
ance wes not large but an interesting
time wen anent receiving reports of
the varices departmenta of church
work. The financial returns all show
balances on the right side. Special
mention might be made of the For-
ward Movement fund, the treasurer,
Mr. G. D. McTaggart, stating that
sixty per cent of the total amount
subscribed had been paid in and for-
warded to the ,church offices in To-
ronto. The minister's stipend was
raised to $1,800, and the outlook for
the coming year is looked forward
to with confidence by both pastor and
people. -What has been commonly
known as the Torrance Farm adjoin-
ing Clinton at Ontario street, east,
and owned and occupied for sometime
by Mr. Mittel, was sold this week to
Mr. Henry, from Rensall, a brother-
in-law of Mr. llugh Cameron, of
town. Mr. Henry, who came from
the West over a year ago, getting
weary of the retired life, decided to
go into farming again and has been
looking at a number of forms, finally
choosing the Inc now purchased, con-
taining 1L8 acres 01'
land with first
class buildings. Mr. Miter dispose!
of all his farm stuck and implements
'dung with the farm, receiving near-
ly $11,S0t1. The price seems large,
but everything is in first class shape,
and considering the location, we think
Mr. Henry has made a good invest-
ment, and a hearty welcome is ex-
tended to Mr. Henry and family.
Mr. Mitel has not yet decided what
he will do but will likely remain in
Clinton for the present -The skating
rink was open for the first time this
winter on Tuesday evening. The
young folks are hoping that the frosty
weather will continue.

On Saturday afternoon last, while Mr,
William Campbell, of this village, who
assists his brother, Christopher
Campbell, at the planing mills, had
the misfortune to be struck by a
freight train that was backing up in
the siding, and was knocked down
and his face cut and injured. It ap-
pears that Mr. Campbell, who does
not hear anything, was in the act of
carrying some ,shingles along tide
the rails of the rack and did not see
or, of course, hear the engine back-
ing up, although the engineer whistl-
ed loudly. While very fortunately he
was not walking between the rails
but close up to the outter one, he was
struck on the head and knocked down,
but had he been walking on the track
he would doubtless been ground un-
der the wheels, and his escape from
instant death was certainly a very
narrow one.,He has been suffering a
good deal from his injuries but is
under the doctor's care -The Sacra-
