With the co-operation of the weekly nnnwspapers in the County, I would like to make a weekly re- port during the present Session of the Legislature. I am doing so in the hope that it may serve to inform ' many of the electors regarding its function and the duties of its members. Lack of interest in public affairs of our country may be the result of lack of information. This is reflected in the number of people, who don't bother to vote at an election, either Federal, Provin- cial or Municipal. In a survey of municipal elec- tions by the Citizens' Research In- stitute of Canada, the vote in the communities which gave the in- formation asked for averaged 44.3%. Prior to the election of the 4th of December, 1954, the Township of York inserted an ad- vertisement in the Globe and Mail appealing to the ratepayers to ex- press their views in an effective way on the administration of the affairs of their municipality. The following figures were published to prove the necessity of their ap- peal: 'Per - No. of Number tentage Voters Voting of Vote 1951 57,681 16,470 28.56% 1952 57,901 15,547, 26.85% 1953 59,526 12,985 21.81% While the average of the munici- palities m the County of Huron is much higher than the above fig- ures indicate for the Township of York, there is considerable room for improvement in every munici- pality in Ontario. The official opening of the House on Tuesday, February 8, was adequately covered in the daily papers ers a represented by15 to P 20 reporters who are on hand in the press gallery. It is my inten- tion to explain the inner workings or mechanical function of the Leg- islature and this will include the procedure in the passing of a Bill, the work of the Committees, the operations of the different depart- ments, and the duties of the Mem- bers. The Speech from the Throne was read by the Lieutenant -Governor, and this is actually prepared- by the Prime Minister and outlines the new measures and legislation which will be made effective dur- ing the Session. Following this, the Aide -de -Camp. received the Speech from the Lieutenant -Gover- nor and delivered it to Mr. Speak- er, at which point the Lieutenant - Governor and his attendants re- tired from the Chamber. Mr. Speaker ascended t h e Throne and read the prayers and this actually marked the opening of the Session, because the busi- ness of the House was now in pro- gress. After the introduction of a Bill, and tribute to the memory of the late Minister of Lands and For- ests, Welland Gemmell, and Hydro Chairman Robert Saunders, the House adjourned on a motion by the Prime Minister.. On the following day a few mat- ters of routine business were in- troduced and discussed and the Members of a Striking Committee were named by the Premier. The first meeting of this Committee was called for the following morn- ing, Thursday, Feb. 10. Prior to this meeting of the Striking Committee the whips of the various parties prepared lists of their Members andhe various committees to which th will be named. Every member of this Legislature .acts on four or five committees and is sometimes un- able to attend all meetings, since they frequently meet at the same time. However, a Member does have the opportunity of attending the meeting which he feels is the most important in its effect on his particular constituency. Very important work is done in committee meetings and several of these committees meet every morning during the entire session. It is felt that Members will be given the best opportunity of ac- quainting themselves with the work and methods of the various government departments through these committee meetings. To be useful and valuable to his consti- tuents. a Member must keep him- self fully informed on the various activities of all departments and, while this cannot be done in de- tail, Members can obtain a good grasp of all functions and services of the Government. To speak in the Legislative Chamber one has to be a Member, and outsiders cannot enter into any discussion. However, a Bill can be introduced into the House and ordered printed, and then re- ferred to the committee dealing with that particular subject. At this committee meeting all inter- ested parties can attend and give information and evidence either for or against the Bill, and the members of the committee can ask any questions in an easy, in- formal manner, which cannot be done in the Chamber.

Next week the House will get down to the business, when many of the, Members will speak on what is generally referred to as the Speech from the Throne.

NOON COUNTY 'HOG PHO.HUCERS' ASSOCIATION HAS ANHUA[, MEETING. - Theodore Parker, who has been conducting an anti-lIog Marketing Board -United Livestock Sales Ltd. campaign, was given a left-hand- ed -comphi:nent at Clinton on Fri- day by a man who said he was "not supporting that Perth man." Bert Lobb of Holmesville, presi- dent of the Huron County Hog Pro- ducers' Association, speaking at the organization's annual meeting, said he was not supporting "that gentleman down in Perth" (Theo- dore Parker) -but expressed the opinion' that as a result of Par- ker's campaign organizations such as hog producers and Federation of Agriculture had gained strength because opposition had drawn members together. Support Agency The organization went on rec- ord as supporting the present hog marketing system with establish- ed central agency, and also sup- ported a resolution that the Fed- eration of Agriculture should be recognized as the official voice of the rural people. The hog marketing system in general was- discussed briefly af- ter Elred Aiken, of Owen Sound, chairman of the Marketing Board, explained the work of the board and outlined the history of its and other farm commodity group organizations. Mr. Aiken said, in answer to one question, that the manager of U. L.S. had been recentlyreplaced as a result of conferences between the company and the marketing board representatives. (Aiken is one of the men summonsed by writ to appear in an action brought by Theodore Parker, of Ellice Township, The action pro- tests the legality of the market- ing board's right to permit a pri- vate company to handle hog mar- keting. He said Thursday he had just received his copy of the writ.) Cooling Off The association president, Mr. Lobb, said that a few months ago "feeling ran high" over the hog marketing situation but that in recept weeks things had cooled off. "In my opinion we are con - $25 Damage To Car A car -truck accident occurred on No. 4 Highway, just north of the Blyth creek bridge, when a car driven by Howard Clark, R.R. 4, Brussels, ran into a Campbell Transport truck from Blytli, ` as the truck was making a right hand turn into Campbell's garage. Both vehicles were travelling south. No damage was done to the truck and the front fender on the car was damaged to the esti- mated amount of $25. Ted Quinn was driving the transport. Town Constable John Bailey was call- ed.—Blyth Standard. "I have always had a presenti- ment," he said, "that I should die young." "Well, darling," remarked her dearest friend, "you didn't, did you?" A S stitutionally not too strong," he said, referring to the present mar- keting arketing legislation and expressed the view that something stronger and more suitable might be de- veloped on a national basis under a •,Farm Products Control Board. One of the results of the U.L.S. Marketing Board conferences, ac- cording to Mr. -Aiken, was estab- lishment of a hog assembly centre at Kitchener. He said that if hog producers in other centres want- ed such assembly points, they could be established. He said the marketing board -� had authority to order truckers holding P.C.V. licenses to "go where we want them to go," but that establishment of convenient assembly points might help iron out some transportation problems. J. S. Whyte, general manager and president of Whyte Packing Company, Stratford, gave the producers the packing plant's side of the marketing problems, and outlined activities on the part of the packer to raise standards of quality. The following officers were elected: President, Mr. Lobb, Clinton; first vice-president, Har- ry arry Sturdy, Auburn; second vice- president, Alvin Rau, Zurich; see- retary-treasurer, Alfred Warner, Bayfield.
