Opposition members spoke against the measure, but it was sent on to committee without the counting of a vote. Opposition members who were told by the Government that the sales of liquor, wines and beer by the Liquor Control Board, the sales of beer by brewery warehouses and of wine by wineries amounted to $46,489,027 won-- dered why there was a discrepancy be-- tween that figure and the figure of $48,995,591 in the Liquor Control re-- HMHon. George S. HMHenry, Minister of Highways, said that Mr. Macaulay's bill was designed to meet the menace of irresponsible driving. He admitted that it was class legislation to a cer-- tain degrece, but not to the same ex-- tent as compulsory insurance, which was being tried out in some of the States of the American Union. In Report Total. Liberal Leader Sinclair stated that he couldn't see how this legislation was going to prevent a man putting a ramshackle car on 'the road. Colonel Price wondered how Mr. Sinclair would get at the problem. The Liberal Leader said that there were suggestions that could be considered. One was com-- pulsory imnsurance. And then also he suggested a yearly check--up at the time of the issuing of motor licenses on the condition of all cars. "Cheap Notoriety." Mr. Sinclair referred to the proposed legislation of T. L. Church, M.P. in the Federal House. But he decmed Mr. Church's suggestion of "a peni-- tentiary term for motor accidents" as & play for "cheap notoriety." Yesterday Attorney--General Price pointed out that the sales of beer by the breweries themselves were not asked for nor included in the figure given to the Opposition, but were in the Control report total, The sales by breweries amounted to $3,237,789. The sales by wineries direct to customers, a total of $731,226, are not included in the Liquor Board's profit and loss account, as the board derives no profit therefrom. This figure was included in the answer to the Opposition. The fact that these wine sales were in the answer to the Opposition, while the brewery sales were not, accounted for the discrepancy. _ But Mr. Belanger declared that the 'bill was only a move to help success-- 'ful lawyers collect the damages and their fees Why, he asked, should the man who could not pay the $50 or more be penalized, when another who might be just as dangerous a man with a car could pay the damages and go on driving? "This is," said he, "a most undemocratic bill. It is vicious in principle. And I believe that the sponsor will withdraw it. If the idea is to stop the reckless driver, the man who has a judgment against him should have his license suspended for a cer-- tain time." %~ Attorney--General Price stated that he could not agree that the bill was vicious, and saw merit in it which warranted it going to committee. "'Exlraclion of Sulphur From Fumes of Mines] Rated High by Premier . NEW PITTSBURG . ! _ NORTH OF LAKES tions he made regarding this new field of Provincial endeavor and enterprise was the announccment that experts of the Foundation have practically solved a procsss of capturing from the air the sulphur fumes which, in many mining districts of the North, escape to rot foliage and vegetation. Not only will the new process eliminate such destruction, but it will turn the sulphur netted to economic uses and advan-- tages. In view of the fact that the Province spends $3,000,000 yearly on imported sulphur, the worth of the proc-- ess now being speeded to perfection cannot, the Prime Minister inferred, be szco too high,. ¢ On the question of metals Mr. Fergu-- sou laid great stress, defining it as the foundation of "our industrial life," and pointing to the need, particularly, of development of the iron ore indus-- try and its by--products. Mr. Ferguson's speech--delivered at second reading to his bill increasing the Government's appropriation for Foun-- dation administration--came with all his accustomed vigor, and reflected unbridled faith in the future of the enterprise, and an cptimism that evek-- ed trom Liberal Leader William E. N. Sinclair, and Hon. HMH. C. Nixon, repre-- senting the Progressive group, the voiced approval of the partics they spoke for. "Another Pittsburg." "A bit of confidence--co--cperation among ourselves--and the courage to go ahcad and solve our problems," said the Premier, in speaking of the mineral possibilities of the North, "will build for us another Pittsburg north of the Great Lakes." "Insufficient exploration has been done into the iron which liss in North-- ern Ontario," he stated. "Yet with the little investigation we have ascertained that we have ore of commercial value.| This must be 'beneficiated,' as the| scientists and engineers call it, before' we can ccompete with the other ores! produced on the continent, but research | should find the way. , | "We don't seem to realize that we don't use one ton of Canadian ore in any metal industry from Halifax to Vancouver," the Premiert declared. "There must be some solution for this when we know there are millions of tons of ore lying in the ground." Mentioning fertilizer for soil, Pre-- mier Ferguson said experiments in this were now being conducted, the object being to benefit the farmer not finan-- cially well off who had poor soil. Cheap power was a big factor in this, and it was hoped to concilude an arrangement with the Ontario Hydro--Electric Power Commission for a number of horse-- power for the manufacture of this fer-- tilizer. New Process Discovered by _ Research _ Board Halts -- Destruction _ of V' egetation and Promises Greal Saving to Onlario --Ferguson Urges Iron Exploration Premier Ferguson fairly startled the Lcgislature yesterday with a story of what the Ontario Ressarch Foundation is doing and has done since its in-- ception. §4 1y --Mares. 2757# 4+ v Chief in interest among the revela-- 1 Lr T CCC ius 1 PP WITTOWTT 'l\lll\'J * They are: Dr. Speakman, who will be Secretary and technical head of the Foundation; Dr. Barber, who will have charge of research into food problems: Professor Ewing, who will look after textile problems; Professor Ellis, who will study metals; and Professor Cole-- man, who is chief of the agriculture branch.

Before June, he declared, the public subscripciion for the {fund will be $2,500,000, and with the co--operation of the Legislature the sum of $5.000,-- 000, that originally mentioned. will be available for research work.
