The building is expected to be used by the Odd Fellows by Christmas, al- though it may not all be com- pleted by that time. --Photo, Scott Studio, Whitby. ~ We Live in Country Second To None: Starr Tells Club Michael Starr, Conservative can- didate in the forthcoming general election, deviated from the course . pursued by two other candidates addressing the Whitby Rotary Club and did not deliver a political speech. Instead, Mr. Starry at Tuesday's luncheonsmeeting of the club at the Royal Hotel, gave his audience an interesting account of the functions of parliament and the duties of a member. Following his introduction to the club by Rotarian Bud Goode, Mr. Starr observed that it was unique for a service club to take such an interest in poli- tics as to have candidates in a general election appear to state their platforms. He noted that two other candidates had been before the Whitby club in previous weeks, and, he said, had made their pro- mises. So many promises, he add- ed, that mo other promises can be made' and 'if all these promis- es are fulfilled, and generations to come have nothing to worry bout." The only reference Mr. Starr made of his connection with the Progressive Conservative party 'was made when he stated that the Conservative party was the oldest in Canada, constituting the overnment at the time of Con- ation. Then he began an in- teresting account of the functions parliament and the duties of of a member. Mr. Starr was On- riding"s member during the session of parliament as the of a bY lection in 1952.

There, he sajd, the three bow and the leader of the party introduce the new member to the speaker of the house. The new- ly introduced member then goes to the speaker, said Mr. Starr, shakes hands and is welcomed per- sonally to the house by the speak- er. Then, said Mr. Starr, he takes his seat and is either forgotten or oes to work as the case may SPEECH FROM THE THRONE He then turned to some of the functions of the parliament. The session is opened, he said, with the speech from the throne, which is read by the Governor General although it is. prepared by the Government leaders. The speech, he said, is delivered in the House of the Senate. Lady members of parliament, he said, are consider- ed guests of the Senate and are permitted to sit in their auditorium but other MP's are considered eommoners and must stay in a gallery behind a bar. The speech, he said, is delivered in both Eng- lish and French. Mentioning other persons who assist in the operation of parlia- ment, Mr. Starr expressed his amazement at the brilliancy of the page boys. These lads, he said, eight and nine years old, speak both English and French. They are very bright and with a snap of his fingers, a member can have a page boy at his side in an in- stant. Instructions to the boy, giv- en only once, bring the required document to the member in a matter of a very few minutes. Following the speech from the throne, said Mr. Starr, every . | member of the House is permitted to make a speech. In the last ses- sion, nearly 70 members, of the 286 - member House, made speech- es lasting 40 minutes. Various bills, he said,-are then introduced. These are divided into government bills and private member's bills, the for- mer passing without difficulty but would be voted on, he said, the time had run out and the bill would, be placed at the bottom of the list. Six months later, the gov- ernment would bring out a camou- flaged bill asking the same things as the original bill produced by a private member. Then it would be passed by the government, OTHER PROCEDURE © stions, said VM be asked by auy member and members of the govern- ment then are required to file answers.

He said that it is common parliamentary pro- cedure, no matter what party was in the majority, for some of these bills, if they met with the govern- ment's approval, to be "talked out" of the House. This plan, he said, saved the government the embarrassment of having to pass a bill introduced by an oppositon member If a bill such as this were to come up for discussion, he explained, all government mem- bers would make lengthy speeches endorsing' the bill.
