FARQUHAR OLIVER, ONT. LIBERAL
LEADER, DISCUSSES UN€PLOYIMMENT
(Continued from Page 2)
had to de with unemployment re-
lief. Having turned down the Fed-
eral proposition in 1945, it is ra-
ther late at this time to pick out
that portion which would serve
the present purposes of the Pro-
vincial Government, particularly,
when we remember, that the whole
proposition, the offer in respect to
unemployment included, was turn-
ed down unceremoniously by the
present government.
The refusal of the present gov-
ernment to accept no responsibility
for the costs involved for unem-
ployment relief is not a position
shared by other Provinces in Can-
ada. At least two of the Western
Provinces pay half the costs in-
volved in caring for unemployed
persons. The Provinces of Saskat-
chewan and Alberta, who are less
able to shoulder their financial re -1 than Ontario is, have
recognized in a tangible way that l'
once the municipality is burdened
with unemployment costs, it be-
comes automatically the reason-
able responsibility of the provin-
cial administration to share the
load. When Saskatchewan and Al-
berta have responded to their mor-
al and constitutional obligation to
the extent of meeting the costs
borne by the municipality, surely
there can be no valid reason why
this great and wealthy province
should not lift some of the burden
presently borne by the municipal
councils.
In the Budget brought down in
the Assembly on Thursday of last
week, the point was made by the
Treasurer that the vast increase
in provincial expenditure for high-
ways and public works would be
this Province's contribution to
ease the unemployment situation.
While one can argue that an ac-
celerated expenditure of public
money will have a beneficial af-
fect on the unemployment picture,
it must be realized, however, that
the additional work provided would
only relieve to an extent the prob-
lem that exists and there will re-
main for sometime at least a sit-
uation in which a segment of our
population will still be dependent
upon some level of government to
provide sustenance during the
transition period. In addition, it
must be remembered that any
program of public works or road
building will take months in the
planning stage before the actual
project will be underway. The
difficulties with respect to this
problem are at the present time.
Now is the hour in which the Pro-
vincial Government should come
to the aid of the municipalities,
not months from now.
It will be recognized that a
highway and public works pro-
gram has two great deficiencies.
The first I have just mentioned:
the time that will elapse between
the announcement and the actual
commencement of the work there-
on. It must also be remembered
that the modern methods of road
building in thisrovince are such
that less and less men are re-
quired in the actual project, and
even with the implementation of
this program there will, and I
wish to emphasize the point, still
remain a large number of our
citizens who are unable to find
employment.
Not only did the Budget fail to
make provision to care for the un-
employed but it disregarded in
the main the neds for human bet-
terment. No money for the unem-
ployed; no help for those on old
age pension; no promise to provide
health insurance for our people.
While the; Budget proposes to spend
over $200,000,000 for roads, it fails
utterly to meet the challenging
needs of people.
I have never taken the position,
nor do I now, that the Federal Gov-'
ernment should not share in the
costs involved in caring for unem-
ployed persons. It is reasonable
aid fair that all three levls of
Government should bear a mea-
sure of responsibility. Where the
position of this Province is com-
pletely indefensible is in their oft
repeated declaration that the Fed-
eral Government should assume
the entire responsibility for unem-
ployment. I say definitely, that
when the burden becomes onerous
on the municipality the Province
should then step in and become the
partner of the municipal govern-
ments in attacking this situation.
Then and only then have the Pro-
vince the right to go to the Fed-
eral Government for help. Surely
the government's position is unre-
alistic at the present time when
they refuse to pay anything out of
provincial revenues and at the
same time say that the Federal
Government is responsible. In my
judgment the •Province should im-
mediately set up a fund to care
for the unemployed, from which
the municipalities can be re-im-
bursed for a portion of the cost
that they have expended for this
purpose. Up to the present time
Ontario has not paid a cent and
have left the whole burden on the
shoulders of the municipalities.
Let the Province assume its
constitutional responsibility before
they go to the Federal authority
and try to dump the whole pro-
blem on their lap. Certainly there
should be a conference between
the three levels of Government
but in order to show its good faith
and its awareness of the situation
the Province should immediately
do what it should' have done
months ago that when this con-
ference is called they can attend
with the achievement that they
have at least done something in a
tangible way to earn the co-opera-
tion of the Federal authorities.
If the Ontario Government will
accept its proper responsibility I
am persuaded that an arrange-
ment can and would be entered
into between all three levels of
governmnte. Whether the parti-
tion will be on a forty, forty -twen-
ty basis or some other acceptable
formula matters little at the mom-
ent. What must be done, and done
quickly, is to cut the red tape, to
do away with the standing on for-
mality which has edsted and get
down to a basis where a reason-
able
easonable Solution of the problem can
be effected.

Church held its March meeting
in the church hall, on Tuesday,

presiding in the absence of the
president, Mrs. W. S. R. Holmes.
The regular reports of the secre-
tary and treasurer were received
as read and business arising there-
from duly dealt with. Mrs. Liver-
more gave a splendid Christian
Citizenship paper and Miss Elva

tire distributed books from the
bookshelf on India. The roll call

on 'Faith'. Mrs. W. J. Plumsteel
'inducted the devotional on Faith
with the use of the llth chapter
of Hebrews, and concluding with
this prayer: "Lord, give us such
a faith as this and then whate'er
may come, I taste even now the
hallowed bliss of an eternal home."

MRa AND MRS. H. klitcCLURE OBSERVE
GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
On Tuesday, Feb. 8, the home
of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. McClure at
Marysville, B.C., was the scene
of much festivity when two well-
known and highly esteemed old
timers of Cranbrook and Kimber-
ley districts celebrated their gold-
en wedding anniversary, accord-
ing to the Cranbrook (B.C.) Cour-
ier. During the afternoon and eve-
ning a host of friends and well
wishers called to offer congratula-
tions and best wishes. Their
daughter, Mrs. J. S. Noble, and
daughter-in-law, Mrs. S. B. Mc-
Clure, acted as hostesses and re-
ceived the guests.
The popular couple were shower-
ed with cards and telegrams of
congratulations, also numerous
gifts. The house was tastefully
decorated with vases of spring
flowers and pink and- white car-
nations. The bride of fifty years
ago wore a becomingafternoon
dress of deep powder blue faille
crepe with corsage of talisman
roses.
Away back in 1905, on February
8th, at Seaforth, Ont., Miss Marion
Black became the bride of Mr.
Herbert H. McClure, in the Sea -
forth Methodist Church, with the
Rev. A. K Birks officiating, as-
sisted by Rev. J. H. Edmondson,
of Mt. Pleasant Church, Bramp-
ton, the home of the groom.
Following their marriage the
young couple came west, direct to
Lethbridge, where Mr. McCIure
owned what was then something
rather new and very progressive
-an irrigated farm. Mrs. McClure
in' reminiscing recalls that her
friends in the east expressed
alarm and surprise at the idea of
her going "away out west to live
among the buffaloes and Indians."
Here they lived and worked for
five years.
In 1910 they moved to Cranbrook
taking up and clearing a piece of
land a few miles west of the city
in the New Lake area. But again
in 1913 they moved, this time to
the home on St. Mary's Prairie,
where they spent so many years,
conducting from here the "Moun-
tain View Dairy" which supplied
dairy products to Kimberley up to
the time of their retirement to
Marysville in 1946.
Their only son, Stewart, lives
with his family at Marysville, and
daughter, Mrs. J. S. Noble, at
Chapman Camp. Another daugh-
ter, Helen, died in 1945. Two
grandchildren, Valory and Colby
McClure, also live in Marysville.
