THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD Parents Discuss Problems At A Special Gathering A smiall but enthusiastic group <A parents attended the Parents' Night in St. John's United CteuMih Tuesday evening of last weelc, the meeting being cond/ucted by Rev. A. G. Mac- pherson, who divided the gartlhering into three groups for discussion. Mr. P. S. MacDougaili led one groujp on modem reading. They repox-ted to the general forum later, that hcane reading should be more selective, in an attempt to cultivate appreciation of the best literartjure, also tihat the so-caMed "realism" of modern writ- ing was a threat against the highei mioral standards of young people, who are not mature enough to evaluate it. It was suggested tihat the widt appeal of sex wiiitings came partly from the failure of ^^arents to impart adequate sex knowledge. .'The group on raddo, led by Mr. John Cook, reported their belief tlhat there were many fine programs on the radio for young people, but tihat many of the "soap operas" ano crime broadcasts were detrimental to good character and good citizenship They recommended tliat parents help tflieir ohi'ldren find the best progi-ams The group on movies, led by Mi-s. k. G. Macplierson, reported their be- lief that only 25 9^ of the films were worth seeing. They recommended the use of good movie reviev.'s pro- vided by reputable magazines, in order that wise selection might be exercised. It was felt that St. John's should seriously consider the p>ur- chase and use of a IS num. movie projector. The evening concluded with a hum- orous and exciting game of "Egg Polio," foUewed by lunch and th( siniginig of a hymn. This first exper- iment in a "Parents' Night" at St. John's came to a close with everyone convinced that it was worthwhile, and should be held at least once a year. F. R.

Oliver, Ml.P.P. for South Grey, has been elected leader of the Liberal party of Ontai-io. He was the choice of 1,200 delegates, repre- senting every riding in the province, at the convention of the Ontario Lib- eral Association held in Toronto last week. .Although only 43 years of age, the new Liberal leader has been a mem- ber of the Ontario Legislature for more than 22 years, and the Liberals look forward with confidence to a vigorous revival in Ontario under experienced, yet youthftd, direction. In addition to being -victorious in six successive provincial elections, Mr. Oliver, youngest man ever to sit in the Ontario House, has been a prov- incial cabinet minister and has been Leader of the Oipposition since 1945. AMiough equally familiar with ur- ban and rural problems, Mr. Oliver is a practical farmer. He was born on the farm. South Line, Artemesia, where he now lives and works. His grandfather was a pioneer of tlie Priceville district. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Oliver, reside in Flesherton. iDuring the First World War, Mr. Oliver, while in his early teens, farmed his father's land. He now has 550 acres, of which his wife is the manager â€" "and a good orfe, too," Mr. Oliver declares. Mi-, and Mrs. Odiver have both beef and dairy cattle, and their farm is their liveli- hood, not a hoibby. Mrs. Oliver is the former Annie Mable Crutchey of Dur- ham, whom lie married in 1930. Mr. Oliver has miany interests in addition to his public career and his farm and home. His favorite sport is baseball, and Ke used to play for Flesherton and Sooith Line teams, and he played softbaU even after he was first elected to the Legislatua'e in 1926. He is fond of boxing and fish- ing. He is widely read and hag a well-stocked library. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver ai^end Priceville United church. Liberalism goes way back in the Oli- ver fa.mily. Mr. Oliver's uncle, the late John Oliver, was Liberal Premier of British Col^Mnl>ia for nine years. Mr. Oliver, elected first to repre- sent Grey South in 1926, was success- ful in the successive elections of 1929. 1934, 1937, 1043 and 1945. In 1941, he was appointed Minister of Public Welfare -and Public Works in the cab- inet of Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn. A year later, he broke with Mr. Hep- burn over the latrter's disipute with Prime Minister King, and resigned from the cabinet. The following May. 1941, Mr. Oliver returned to the gov- ernment in the same portfolio under Premier Harry Nixon. While Minister of PuibMc Welfare Mr. Oliver wag promanent in putting through legislation which made On- tario the first province to provide medical services for recipients of old age pensions, relief, blind and moth- ers' al!o\vances. He introduced leg- islation which, without any general eonitribution, increased old age pen- sions from the rate at that time of $20 a month to $2S. .-X.s Minister oi PuibJic Works, he negotiated tihe agreements with the Domjnion gov- emiment whsrby provincial puiblic buildings were turned over to Ottawa for war purposes, rent and tax free. When the present Ontario Govern- ment took office in 1946, Mr. Oliver was appointed Liberal House leader and became Leader of the Off'icial Ojppo^ition. His House followers, in caucus at Ae conclusion of the 1947 session, endorsed his candidature for party leader. In a message to convention dele- gates, .Mr. Oliver predicted that "we can build up the Liberal party in Ontario to a point where it can suc- cessfully engage the pi-esent Govei-n- ment party in an election campaign. To that desirable end, I pledge my- self to work constantly and tii-elessly . . . We believe that, thi-ough the Liberal Party, we can pi-ovide more lasting and beneficial legislation that will moi-e adequatel- meet the neea? and aspirations of the gi'eat mass of the electors." lOn achieving the lead«r»hi/D of a great party in Ontario, his friends in .Artemesia area and South Grey despite party affiliations, conigratul- ate Farquhar on the honor he has attained for himself and for his n^i tive lownship. Sudden Contact With Bear Scares Visiting Fisherman One fls'herman from Brantfoi-d went back home on Sunday with a bit more exiperience of wild life than he imag- ined he would have when he left his home for a week end of fishing at the Eugenia lake. Sunday afternoon ht decided to try his lixck fishing in the Miller Creek and as he was going up stream heard a noise further up, but thought it_was another fisherman and did not pay any attention. Shortly he rounded a stump in.the swamp a"d there, not ten feet away, was a large black bear, ripping an old rotten stJumip apart for wihatever he could find. Bolih bear and man were startled by the close proximity of each other. The man did not wait to see whether the bear would retreat oa- not, but turned and fled away from Brurin as fast as he could travel. In his headlong flight and excitement he fell over roots and stum^ps and suffer- ed a long cut on his ai*m and ^vas otherwise scratched and generally used up. He didn't know whether the bear finished his meal at that spot or not. and cared less, if only he was successful in leaving the ten-i- tory to the undisputed possession od the bear. Fishing Good At Week End Trout fishing in this area was very good over the week »nd. Several over two pounds in weight were tak- en at the fi' on the eighth line. TOw hiefti waters in the rivers have gone down and some nice catches have been reported from the streams. It is supposed that the cold weatflier of the past few weeks has had its effect on the fish and that they are just now commencing to move around.
