"The future expansion of Hydro." he next stated, "will be out to the rural parts in the outlying sections. Therefore, I say we should have on the Hydro Commission a man who understands rural conditions." He wanted to pay a compliment to 'Hon. John R. Cooke of North Hastings, iHydro Minister, as an agriculturlst. "But," he went on, "we should have a member on that Commission, outside the Government member, who understands agricultural conditions." Refers to Durham Editorial. , No greater research work was needed here. e told the House, than that, of determining how to keep young men and young girls on the farm. Down " the Ontario Agricultural College the other day he had noticed the splendid young students there enrolled. He won- dered if they would go back to the farm if proper lighting and modern conveniences were not available to them. In his opening remarks Dr. McQuib- ban made a plea for the extension of the Mothers' Allowances Act to take in the widow with one child. He estimated that such a move would cost the Prov- ince only $300,000. Typhoid Protection. Then he went on to speak on the subject of protecting the public against the danger of typhoid, especially in the consumption of milk. "The pathway from the cow to the human consumer," said he, "is beset with danger." While in such cities as Toronto and Hamilton regulations safeguarded the public. not all municipalities had seen the need of such safeguards. The order of pas- teurization was not Province-wide, and he urged the Department of Health to deal with this problem. Queries Liver Costs. He wanted to know it Dr. Godfrey as Minister of Health intended putting liver in the same category as other products of his department. and thus make it more available, at lower cost., to the sufferers from anaemia. "The Minister." said Dr. McQuibban. "has been silent on th.s and on his policy. I believe that the department will have to do something in this matter to alie- viate the suffering in the Province." Then on the liquor question he sug- gested that there should be some insti- lution to deal with habitual drunkards. Now they are sent to jail, whereas, said he. there should be some place when they might be rehabilitated. given a fresh start without the stigma of crime hanging Over them and over their families. And he also advocated that the Government should consider Some Mr. Oliver. the next speaker, opened up with a discussion of rural Hydro. He believed that farmers resented the statements that they got moneys tor power development as a gift. They re- sented. said he. being placed in the "eharity" column, for they were only receiving "a meagre portion ot their rights as citizens." institution for the reformation of dope addicts. "Charity" Resented. On the subject of rural Hydro con- tracts. he suggested that there was some misunderstanding among the farmers, and that publicity as to the meaning at the contracts would help to clear up the situation. , W. Acres Was critical of Govern- ,moot policy from another angle. It .was not right. he contended, that the highways should be covered with big biases, carrying passengers and goods from one large centre to another, and indirectly putting the smaller towns out of business. He did not think the Province could afford to build roads, and allow heavy bus traffle over it, in "mmpetition with the railways, which 'tmd built up the country. Scores Wheat Pool. The Carleton member had a lot, to say about "what's wrong with agricul- turel" He claimed that the wheat pool system. it run for another five years " its present rate, would ruin Western Canada. He said that the On- tario Government should pass a. pso- lution condemning Ottawa for ite, "pussytooting" on the protection issur at the expense of Ontario farmers. Ami why should immigration be gone after. he asked, when the homo markets, were what needed development? Mr. Oliver criticized Hon. John S. Marga. JyginistegytC9ti.sultyrr, 19:. his Mr. Oliver drew the attention of the House to an editorial in the Durham Chronicle. which referred to and agreed with an article in The Globe on rural Hydro. Mr. Oliver believed it expressed the opinion of many people of the Prov- ince. evJhe.sielt,rr--m) attitude of "Go slow!" on (ac-operative? marketing. Co-operative market!" in. Ontario. said the speaker, was no longer an experiment. While he be- lieved the Government should not bonus it or finarsce it in any way, but that it should stand on its own feet, it nevertheless behooved the Government to go to far countries and to bring back data with which they could give the farmers of this Province, "some lead.". "'vrriizrdart" i/r" jhit' lead." warned the young Progressive member, "we will have a hard job to hold our markets right here in Ontario." "Big Noise Over Small Stun." In cynical vein. Mr. Oliver pointed| out, that the Ferguson .Ae,1ielt.t,e,,t.?,',el was helping the farmer: by cornering the corn-borer: by carrying on the work of the O. A. C.; by supplying Junior Farmers courses: and by main- taining the agricultural grants which Ottawa had dropped. Yet. said he, these matters were nothing but depart- i, mental matters. It would make no dit- l ference if the present Government went l out of power tomorrow: the succeeding': Government would have to carry oni the very same practices." i' Tariff No Remedy. Mr. Oliver scoffed at the suggestion of Hon. James Lyons last week that tariff was the only panacea for the farmers' ills. Study of conditions in the States had convinced him-and he had eminent authorities to back him up-that the high-tariff States over- there were ten times worse off with regard to farming conditions at the present time than were the farmers ot this Province. Speaking, he declared. as a man who had not ranted or preached or become fanatical on the liquor question during the Government control election or December. 1926, Mr. Oliver claimed that after me years' trial the Government had become shackled to the liquor manufacturers. and that, revenue from sale had certainly proved a bulwark of safety for the financial shape of the Province. It was plainly evident. he stated. that the Government dared not take steps to curtail the consumption of liquor. for the minute it attempted such a thing out, would come the old skeleton "deficit" from the family closet. And rather than face a deficit the Government would say: "You go hack in thprty--we'll keep on as we've been doing." "At the present time," said Mr. Oliver, amid some of the most resound- ing Opposition applause of the session to dale, "the Government finds itself in a lions' den. And as they're pot Daniels. The best immigrants Ontario could get. said the speaker. were her own boys and girls, and the only way to keep them at farming was to improve farming conditions. Tied to Liquor Makers.

Crowd around the flowing bowl. We can't have a detleit, no matter what hap- pens." It was the speaker's contention that in his riding of South Grey the Liquor Control Act had failed to measure up to its heralding. Since It came into force there had, he contended, been more drinking. more drunkenness, and more small-scale bootlegglng. _ Tjrir."iioigr" aidiuirvative, Algoma) adjourned the debate. __ !" on co-opgratiY¢ "(L/f- 2/771. n-nnn;'ativei 5 - ;)/£c//?e s/r 4?

The criticism came first. Hon. Dr. .Godfrey Minister of Health, rose to (challenge the truth and accuracy of an iiiiiirira in the Toronto Star Weekly 'dealing with the administration of the (Healtl?

The Minister Was :severely caustic in his characterization ,of the Star's methods and his comments 'upon its inaccuracy. l And. he added. his comment was not provoked lay any partisan purpose. :There was, he declared. "a paper that is "air, honest. and Liberal, and today it in" a birthday-the good old Globe." ."Bulwark of Public Interest." '2 Russell Nesbitt, Conservative member ifor Toronto-Bracondaie, speaking in the ldebate. also paid complimentary ret- erences to The Globe and its birthday.
