rite Legislature Opens
There should be little ef a conten-
tious nature before the 'current ses-
bleu of the Legislature if the propos-
als suggested in the Speech from the
;Throne are a criterion of the govern-
ment's legislative program.
Interest will centre on the provid-
ing of a pension With a means test to
persons totally and permanently dis-
abled. This proposal carries out a
promise made during the recent elec-
tion. Then, too, it is intended to ask
the Assembly , to consider "a_ consoli-
?dation and revision of the laws con-
,. cerning Crown timber." This is a
move to implement the Kennedy Re-
port. It is unfortunate that no men-
tion is made of the government's in-
tention of implementing the recom-
mendations of the Thomas Report
;which dealt with conserVation prob-
lems in the Province, and particular-
ly in Southwestern Ontario, where a
rapidly falling water table is caus-
ing Much concern.
Recognition is given to the prob-
lems facing municipalities with re-
spect to highway maintenance; The
mature of the, 'proposed solution to
the problem will not be disclosed un -
the legislation is introduced.
Main- points from the Speech from
the Throne include:
Measires will be introduced to
stiniulatethe provision of more hous-
ing. They include certain unspecified
measures as 'well as establishment of
a Crown Corporation for N.H.A.
loans, and a measure aimed at in-
creasing rural housing.
A select committee of the_ Legisla-
ture will study regal controls.
Abolition of the need of Royal fiat
in suits against the Crown in certain
Legislation to better rural tele-
phone systems.
The Workmen's Compensation Act
will be improved and strengthened.
A new deal for mining municipali-
ties was indicated.
Assistance to municiPalities in
solving their highway problems waS
emphasized.
A new and ccompletely revised
Companies Act will be introduced.
Pensions of $40 per month with a
means test are planned for persons
iotally and permanently disabled, be-
tween ages 18 and 65, not otherwise
pensioned.
Clarification and extension
Mothers' Allowances legislation.
Confirmation of the agreement be-
tween Ontario and Ottawa whereby
the Province will undertake develop-
ment of the' Canadian half of the
, power resources of the proposed all -
Canadian St. Lawilence seaway.
Revision of laws dealing with
Crown timber With the aim ,of sus-
tained yield of forests.
Proposals to control taking of fish
and game froth aircraft.
Establishment ,of an Institute of -
Radio therapy to manage and direct
the cancer centre at Wellesley Hos-
A program of rehabilitation of
convicts will be extended, and great -
'et use of probation will be advocat-
"We' are seeking to maintain our
autonomy but if we keep turning
everything over .... to the provincial
government we will have lost our say
and there won't be any more conven-
tions," W. M. Abraham, second vice-
president =declared.
The rejection of the resolution was
recognition of the fact that grants
invariably have tied to them strings,
and that the larger the grant the
greater is the control exercised over
the municipality by whatever level of
government gave the grant.
Grants as such are not necessarily
bad, but in unlimited amounts can
well have the effect . of eliminating
any independent action on the part
of municipalities. Unfortunately the
tendency of late has been for munici-
palities, to look to a higher level of
government for revenue in ever-in-
creasing amounts and for every con-
ceivable purpose. It is good to see
a group representative of rural mun-
icipalities stand on its collective feet
and in effect say it is prepared to ac-
cept the responsibilities of the of-
fices to which its members were
elected.

A man went to a mental spec-.
of
Neighborliness
The day to day enjoyment of one's
residence in a community is depend-
ent on little things. The relation of
a man to his neighbor, the cheery
query as neighbors meet, the help-
ing hand in time of trouble, all go
towards creating a pleasant atmos-
phere in which to live.
There must, however, be a proper
balance between el lness on the
one hand and unbri ed curiosity on
the other,. the Sa ia Canadian Ob-
server points out, when it says:
"It is a happy circumstance when
a family is able to Ave in a neighbor-
hood where it is at ease and at home.
A good neighborhood—a favorite
phrase of the real estate dealer—is
not necessarily a district of fine large
houses and beautiful gardens. A fam-
ily can be happy anywhere if the
neighbors are people who. under-
stand the elements of practical kind-
liness, coupled with a respect for each
family's privacy. To be a good
neighbor is an art. One interfering
busybody can make a whole street
uncomfortable. Conversely, one per-
son with a genuinely kindly interest
in all mankind can draw neighbors
together who might otherwise be too
shy to approach each other. With
property changing hands at its pre-
sent rate, neighbors can change their
characters overnight. As long as
neighbors remember to maintain the
delicate balance between friendly in-
terest and unwarranted interference
the quality of any neighborhood can
be maintained in harmony."

Yet this man, at the age of
twentpfive, make5a them swoon
when he sings and they'll. wait out-
side for hours just to get a seat
for one of his shows.
The masa. for thiS -curious phen-
omenon, it seems, is that this. fel-
low is known a5 "Mr. Emotion."
When 'Johnny Raye sings he is so
touched by the sound of hie own
voice that he frequently bursts in-
to tears—and the girls love it.
Well, that iney 'be all right, but
last week I went over to Buffalo
to see the oldest name ie vaude-
ville—an old-timer with a battered
top hat called Ted Lewis. He had
a good audience too, and. that's as
it should be for Ted Lewis has
been ,in show business for over 40
years'. He must be nearly seventy
now, but he can still de a little
soft shoe dance, turn on a smile
that makes you feel he meant it
just for you, and generally P'11 on
a show that would leave youdgsters
like Johnny Raye panting for
breath.
Everybody wae.
And listen to this. There wasn't
an off color line in that, whole
sb.ovv. 'Mere wasn't a number
-which wasn't just 'plain. clean fun.
There wasn't a moment 'evhen , the
audience didn't know- that it was
watching a real old-time'entertain-
er who was out there playing for
them because he just plain liked
to make folks happy. The way be
put it was: "'Everything I have to
say is not from the bead, but the
That is the kind of emotion I
can understand. I halve trouble try-
ing to find- out why the new batch
of entertainers all Beene like sick
little boys. I wonder what is wrong
with us When wa prefer sqme.pale-
faced neurotic who sings off key to
a real performer who reaches out
to the hearts of- his audience and
raakes them all feel good.
I was talking to an entertain-
ment critic the other day and ask-
ed him abbut this. "Are we all a
little sick ourselves, these days" I
asked. "Is that why all the eur-
rent crazes seem to have to be
people suffering from some dread-
ful psychotic maledy?"
The entertainment authority con-
fessed be didn't know the answer.
"But remember this," he Reid. "In
the last five years there have been
at least half a dozen entertainers
come and go. The crowd goes wild
for them for a while, and then they
are forgotten. Ted Lewis has been
packing them in for a lifetime."
I hope he's right. I like my en-
tertainment to come from the
heart—from a healthy, fun -loving
heart—not from a sick cow.

Wliat Other Papers Say:
All Spots Good in Weekly
(Bowmanville Canadian Statesman)
Every week we get a request from
some individual or organization to
"please put this story on the front
page where people will see it."
This strikes us as being rather fun-
ny. You see the average reader,
paraularly in a weekly paper cov-
ers the -Whble_paper. As a matter of
fact he usuallg glances casually at the
front page turns .to the locals or the
sports and 'then slowly makes his way
back to tlie front page.
You cannot "bury" an item in a
4 weekly because the reader will search
&out wherever it may be.
Frankly we have always felt that
every page in the paper is the front
page. It .is different in a lArge city
where the worla news is generally
carried on page one. There the read-
er's interest is focused on the front
page.
The front page, of course, is the
"show window" of any newspaper.
We put many of the newsiest items
on the front page, but by no means
all' of them.
It consistently amazes us how star'-
, les on the front page are oftenaniss-
ed by some of the readers while some

inner pages will be read always.

FOOT AND. MOUTH
DISEASE CONFIRMED
The 'Department of Agriculture
announced Monday that the cattle
disease recently reported from Re-
gina under the name 'vesicular
stomatitis' has been officially diag-
nosed as foot-and-mouth ylisease.
Conclusive evidence in support of
this diagnosis was reportece byeehe
Animal Pathology Laboratory at
Hull, Quebec, on Sunday.
While- there was doubt as to the
exact nature of the disease, action
was taken to prevent its spread.
This consisted of:
1. Quarantining all premises on
which the -disease was known or
suspected to exist.
e. Establishing a qusrantine ar-
ea consisting of all municipalities
in which the quarantined premises
were'located end a number of ad-
jacent municipalities.
3. 'Prohibiting the outeeird move-
ment of live stock from stockyards
in 'Saskatchewan add Manitoba
which might have received animals
that had been near infected anim-
als or premises. In some cases this
prohibition included the shipment
of meet.
'' The purpose of the nuarantine
orders was to ,preyent the possible
spread of the diseage to premises
which were not infented.'As a pre -
canteen the quarattihe applied, to
a much greatet area then -that in
which the known or snepeeted cas-
es were found.
