Clinton News Record, 1954-03-18, Page 3THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1954 •ria.-"�rri CLINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE THREE Legislature Discuss ms (This is a second in a series by T. Pryde, MLA for Huron, de- signed to acquaint our readers, with the workings of the parlia- ment of. Ontario, now in session). As the Ontario Legislature con- cludes its fourth week, the legis- lative program is almost half fin- ished. Very few Bills have actual- ly -completed their passige through the house, but the bulk of the legislation has gone through its initial stages and it is only a matter of form until many ` of. them become- law. The Throne Speech Debate which concluded on March 10 has taken up quite a portion of the time, Over 30 members have spoken in this debate. Their speeches have ranged over a wide field and have covered everything from highway safety to electric light bulbs, and the material in farm implements. A member may introduce any subject into his speech and he usually takes the opportunity of drawing public at- tention to things which concern his own riding, This has often been scoffed at and regarded as a waste of time, but it has much value and might be regarded as "Democracy in. Action," Standing Committees have been meeting every morning, hearing delegations and interested parti- les who wish to make representat- ion to the government. One such committee is the Agricultural Committee. A bill which is of more than passing interest to the people in Huron County is known as Bill'68, an. Act "respecting the Milk Industry," This is a consoli- dation of several Acts relating to the dairy industry and provides For a commission to be known as the Milk Industry Commission and its purpose, as stated in the Bill, is "to promote research with re- spect to the producing and mark- eting of milk, and to determine standards, etc.," This legislation was requested by the Federation of Agriculture, and has the ap- aroval of the Dairy Committee grow, The Bill, after first read- ing in the House, was referred to the Agricultural ComIlittEO Where representatives of these gtOIlps presented their views. The dis- tributors and manufacturers voic- ed ojections' and asked for : time toobjections the proposed legislation. This study and' the Bill will was granted again come before the Agricultur- al Committee in another week or so, when further argument will be heard. THOMAS PRYDE, MLA, Several Select Committees have reported to the House the result of their investigations. After study of the report by the Govern- ment, legislation will likely be in- troduced to implement some of the recommendations. One of the Select Committees which has re- ported, is the Cemeteries Com- mittee. This dealt with: 1. The establisment of new cemeteries particularly , near the large centres of population. 2. The investment of perpetual rare funds to provide safe -guards go that the monies will be used for their intended purpose. 3. Certain measures to help re- habilitate old and abandoned cem- eteries, The Select Committe on Reform Institutions also presented its re- port, This is claimed to be the Most voluminfus report ever pre- sented to the legislature and cov- ers 455 pages and includes 142 re- ‘` I WOULDN'T HAVE ,ANY PART OF IT " i'And neither would my Dad.
