Pryde Reports on Legislature For the past several years I through the southern part of the problem. It cannot be too strong - County would benefit. This is on; ly pointed out that it will cost ly one phase of this vast undertak- every one of us money, so the ing which would be of local inter- question of how it will be financed est. is also of great importance. Shall The -much discussed National it be by premiums paid by indi- Hospital Plan has also been set in viduals, or by groups? How will motion by the passing of an Act these premiums be collected? Shall establishing The Ontario Hospital it be by imposing further taxes on what we buy as, for instance, by a sales tax at the retail level, or shall it be a combination of both? I will not attempt ao answer either of these questions, but the. Premier has repeatedly said he wants to be sure the kind of scheme put into operation will give the people of Ontario a hospital plan which will be workable and meet the needs of the people. Personally, I have expressed the, view repeat- edly that the position of the rural co-operatives must be protected in any scheme which may be adopt- ed. have written a report from the Legislature which you have print - These articles were mainly concerned with the functions of the Legislature and other matters non-political. It was felt, however, that anything I might write this Services Commission. This body year would be a repetition, so I will plan and direct future hospi- decided against a continuance of tal expansion so that it will fit in the practice. However, since the Session has now drawn to .a close, I feel a brief review of what has taken place might be of interest to your readers. The Session opened on February 1st with the usual Speech from the Throne, in which some very impor- tant measures were forecast and much of it actually translated into legislation- Something of very real importance to Western Ontario hat been started on • its course. The Ontario Water Resources Commis- sion has been former. Its func- tion will be to devise ways and means of piping water from the Great Lakes to cities and towns which have not an adequate sup- ply readily available to take care of their expansion and ever-in- creasing needs. It will also have power to control and try to cor- rect the problem of pollution of our rivers and streams. This is a huge undertaking and will in- volve millions of dollars of expen- diture and years of work. Possibly Stratford and the Kit- chener -Waterloo area would draw water from Lake Huron and a pipeline from a point just north of Grand Bend would be the short- est route for such an undertaking. If this comes to pass, many Places with the needs of a national hos- pital scheme. It ,will' also be charged with the operation of the Hospital Plan when it is finally decided what form this will take. The discussion on this subject has been long and varied. Experts in every phase of this matter have appeared before the Committee and almost everybody has a dif- ferent ,opinion of what is meant by a plan of hospital insurance. Some think it should cover every form of sickness and any length of stay in hospital; others believe it should cover only catastrophic ill- ness, meaning that it should cover only sickness of long duration where a person may lose his all— his farm, his home, or his busi- ness. As this involves negotiation be- tween the Government of Canada and the. Province, no agreement has been reached on several points. For instance, the government at Ottawa does not plan to share in the cost of operating sanatoriums or mental hospitals. Ontario thinks people in institutions of this nature should be regarded as sick in the same way as anyone who is con- fined in a public general hospital. These instances are mentioned to indicate the complexity 0 of the As the validity of the Farm Pro- ducts Marketing Act is. in question and will come before the Supreme Court of Canada in the course .of another month, very little has been done about this Act at this session. The Premier has . an- nounced that a special session of the Legislature will be convened at a later date to consider this in the light of the decision of the Supreme Court. Another bill of importance to the farmer is the Brucellosis Act. The Act has been entirely re -writ- ten and now provides for: 1. Provincial administration un- der a supervised area system. 2. Vaccinations and blood tests will, be made without cost to the cattle owner. 3. Cattle owners will be com- What should I do about AN N.H.A. LOAN? Probably the most important aspect of building a new home is financing it. Under the regulations of the National Housing Act we are permitted to make loans for the purpose of constructing a house. If you're intending to build, or wonder- ing if you can afford it, drop in and talk it over with the 'manager of your. ' Toronto -Dominion Bank. He'll discuss the N.H.A. regulations and explain them to you. No matter which of the 450 Toronto - Dominion branches you go to, you can be sure they'll be pleased to give you all the information and 'help possible.

In Huron the work at pre- sent in progress on No. 8 High- way will be continued. Paving will be completed between Clinton and Goderich; the grading and culverts east of Seaforth will also be finished and mohey is provided in the estimates for paving as soon as the road is in condition for this operation, 'A 'similar situation ex- ists on Highway No. 83, east of Exeter. When grading is complet- ed, paving is provided for. As considerable planning and en- gineering work is necessary be- fore actual construction commenc- es, I may say that the highways in the County will not be neglect- ed and engineering work is well in hand. The expenditures on high- ways far exceeds the revenue. The income from gasoline taxes and the license fees for cars and trucks, etc.. will approximate 140 million dollars. Expenditure on new construction will cost approxi- mately 85 million dollars; main- tenance will absorb 48 million dol- lars; municipal subsidies for the maintenance of their own , roads and streets will account for 50 mil- lion dollars. In addition, some 11 million dollars will be spent in acquiring land for widening exist- ing roads and building new four - lane highways. Over 108 million dollars is al- lotted to education, which, with the expenditures at the Ontario Agri- cultural College, will account for 26 per cent of total government spending. New schools are requir- ed in increasing numbers, particu- larly in the vicinity of the large cities. Grants to school boards for new construction have been re- duced but all are treated alike. The grant per room is the same for a city school as it is for a small town. In all, over one hundred and forty bills were enacted. Some of these, of course, were of a minor nature and involved simple chang- es in the wording of an existing Act, but designed to clarify its meaning. Others are designed to meet special situations, while still thers have a very far reaching effect on the whole province. .urpo syn , followed, by roe utaes; It`was ecu ar,�� ►eld an4TWA, Peep ,in the Pear Into opened toe worship ser wwect by Scripture Oa. , rief Prayer• The top** 4 .Jean Scott-,, The nmeet' SEAFORTH OPEN DAILY.

Telephone 174 Committees perform a very real part of the work of the Session. Sixteen committees in all were ap- pointed and your representative was a member of fourteen of them. As committee meetings are held practically every morning after the first week of the Session, it would seem to indicate a very busy time for the members. As previously intimated^, a spe- cial session of the Legislature will be called, prboably in, June, and there is a likelihood that another one will be held in the fall of the year. In view of all of this, it will be seen that the job of being a Member of the Legislature is becoming a full-time one. The- foregoing is a partial ac- count of what took place during the last session of the Legislature and I trust it will be accepted by my constituents as a report by their member. It was a pleasure to have so many people from Hur- on visit with me at the Parliament Buildings and sit in and observe the House in session. To many it was an old experience, but to oth- ers it was new and interesting. I hope from year to year during the time the Legislature is in session it will be my privilege to welcome you in increasing numbers. The Members regret that the facilities for entertaining our constituents are not equal to, what is available at OttaWa, but that, too, is sofne- tMng Which will •be lntproved' sit time goes on. .
