A compulsory left--turn signal, for use by all motorists in Ontario, has, after much difficulty, been worked out by the Department of Highways, approved by Premier Georgs S. Henry, and is one of the features of the amendment to the Highways Traffic Act, which will be brought down to the Legislature on Friday next. Notice of the amendment was filed by Mr. Henry yesterday.

"I wonder if farmers know anything about conditions of unemployment in urban centres," said E. C. Graves (Con-- servative, St. Catharines). "Do they have to go without meals?

AMENDMENT ASKED OQF MARRIAGE ACT Ministers of Full Gospel Tabernacile May Solem-- nize Marriages An amondment to the Ontario Mar-- riage Act will be introduced this session of the Legislature, it is understood, so as to bring ministers of The Full Gospel Tabernacle within the field of those clergymen now empowered to solemnize marriage in this Province. Up to the present time this authority has not applied, in spite of the fact, it is understood, that many such min-- isters are in charge of large and out-- standing congregations. Miss R. M. Wigle, Preston solicitor, was in Toronto last wecek--end inter-- viewing Premier George S. Henry on the question, and is reported to have carried away his assurance that the remedying amendment will be put through the House. This amendment proposes that "any recognized evangelist or minister, for the time being, of any congregation of Christians commonly called or known as 'The Full Gospel Tabernacle' who from time to time is appointed by any such congregation for the soloemniza-- tion of marriages shall qualify under the act like all other clergymen in re-- spect to wedding ceremonies."
