At the last meeting it was decided that $50.00 would be' donated to the Boy Scouts and! the Girl Guides of Port Perry, that is, $50.00 each, also $200, to a scholarship to a grade 13] student, this scholarship was first donated this year to Bruce 'Ballinger of Port Perry. Wei also sent a Christmas gift to! our adopted Korean War Or-| phan a little boy by name of! Mein Dai. Before I go any fur- ther let me explain about the scholarship that Bruce Ballin-. ger won at the commencement Fri.,, Nov. 8th. That was only for $50.00. When that was voted on last year our finances were spreading over quite a bit of territory. We didn't have enough money for everything we would have liked to have done and now we see ourselves a little further ahead. Our poppy fund was evident- ly a great success. There were six of us, the President, Mrs. F. Warren, Mrs. E. Fines, Mrs. W. Evans, Mrs. P. Knott, Mrs. M. 'Woodcock and Mrs, han. The men took over in the evening and did their canvass- ing and also the girl guides from Port Perry who went to { Owen Sound, H. 'Mona-- Ladies Aux., Port Perry Legion!

The Claremont leg- ion was there with their flags and the six flags made a very nice display. The Rev.

ONTARIO RIDING The method used by the Gov- ernment in introducing Depart- mental Estimates is not work- ing out too satisfactorily. The Estimates are being con- sidered on Thursdays and Fri- days, from seven to ten-thirty in the evening. This only al- lows seven hours per week for this essential business of the House. The House Leader of the Gov- ernment plans the work of Par- liament and is directly respon- sible. The fault with this procedure is that one Department. is intro- duced, discussion is carried on for three and a half hours and, if the discussion is not com- that Department is dropped and a new one is in- troduced the following day. This has been carried on this Session and, as a result, only a few departmental estimates have been completely approved, out of approximately twenty departments. If the Government expects to complete this work before the Christmas prorogation, a more concentrated effort will be needed. The Government is still un- prepared. to make a definite statement as to whether they are willing to extend an in- crease to disabled and blind pensioners. The increase to tsehe people was always made simultaneously with the in- crease to old age pensioners. One can oly assume that there is a great rluctance, on the part of the Government, to extend the ten dollar increase' to this deserving group. The members of the opposi- tion parties are prodding the Governmnet continuously ~ on this-nratter, without success. All they can wrest from Ministers is evasiveness. The last: Motion to go into Supply produced an amendment condemning the Government for its failure to carry out the spirit of co-operative federalism and for its neglect to. consult with the Provinces before an- nouncing or undertaking pro- grammes which fall wholly or partly within provincial jurvis- diction. A one-day debate ensued, in which biculturalism, bilingual- ism, shared programmes, and everything having to do with the Provinces, was discussed. The Supply Motions have been introduced on Mondays and the debate has lasted until Tuesday evening. This is, of course, provided for under the rules of the House. Now that they have been completed, these two days will no doubt be used i} to consider new Government legislation . and amendments to existing Acts,
