[ Mr. Reid's shin--stopping, his punches 'and his stiletto work were, of course, _ tempered by a steady flow of that spe-- cial brand of wit and likability tor which he long has bsen noted. No-- body took offense; in fact, under the stimulus of his remarks, most members, on both sides of the Chamber, either laughed themselves into a state of near-- ment had done while it was in office. | _ "Big Chief Fred," as he says hce is i known to the Mooase River inaian tribes, stole all the debate applause of the long afternoon. He tramped--none too gin-- gerly, either--on the toes of Opposi, tion and Government hcads alike. He tragded pnches wi't'h tre boys from '"the back concessions," and came off no second best. And he didn't hesitate, either, to stick a formidable--looking knife--not once, bu; several times-- into the present Government's failure to earn for Ontario, through up--to--date publicity--not the sort that is 'writien on the botiom of a pail," as he put it --the msasure of recognition the Prov-- ince, in his belief, is entitled to alcngi this particular line. | Still Some More. a J. ..

Virtually, this "bad mar from ; the border" was a good Samaritan in disguise, for he gave the House and the : well--filled galleries one of the brightestl safternoons sincs the present session 'opened. | '"Tables Without Plates." ' !_ Mr. Reid complimented Messrs. Scholfield and Poisson on their recent' elevation to the Cabinet, and then re-' marked that Ministers without port,-' folios were like tables without plates.. He complimented the Government for| at last securing a Minister of Agricul-- | ture (Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy) who looked like a farmeor. He referred to the new Minister of Public Welfare (Hon. Rev. William G. Martin) as a splendid example of "methylated Pres-- byterianism." He lauded at length the leadership qualities of the Opposition head (William E. N. Sinclair), and said he was the sort of leader a man could go home and tell his children about. | Of the Hepburmn Provincial leadership | he remarked caustically: "No party can be run by radio, and the Libaral Party j can't be either." The amendment read: "This House regrets the failure of the Government to establish and main-- tain markets for farm products, so that by increased selling volume the farmer could mset his high over-- head cost." with Government ranks against the amendment, which was supported only by the U.F.O. msmber and the Progressives. w ERm it on emegiey L dezen for a quarter: when aive bfeftmedtAattoncnd in ce Adin. .e Li \.!\A'\ll\l": iversity along with Arthur d a couple of other good Reid recalleg that they a.vc.h 1) .

Mr. Reid praised the efforts of Mr. Kennedy to give farmers of the Province adequate seed--cleaning facilities With Publicity was needed, Mr. Reid ar-- gued, for agriculture as well as game and fish. At noon, he said, he had gone into the Parliamentary cafeteria for lunck, to find that the apples he bought there were imports from British Colum-- bia, and not Ontario products at all. "If we can't sell our own unbeatable North-- etn Spy in this Province there is soms-- thing wrong," he stated. J. Henry (East Kent), "that member is not singing any blues. He's keeping a sti{f upper lip, and smiling." On the matter of agriculture, Mr. Reid cthided the Progressive group under Hon. Harry C. Nixon--"the semi--Boys' Parliament," as he dubbed them--for continually "singing the blues" with re-- gard to farming conditions. He men-- tioned that one Conservative member of the House had some time ago shipped 933 head of cattle to the Manchester market. They had cost him $11 a head: and all he got out of them was $6 per. "And yet," said Mr. Reid, with an ex-- planatory nod in the direction of Philip "_He deplored the slogan "Old Man Ontario'" which had been tacked on to this Province, and said it was high time that steps were taken to correct the misuomer. "Personally," he added, "I think we here have been doing most of our advortising on the bottom of a pail." Down at the hotel each morning, said Mr. Reid, the members eat '"Winnipeg Goldeye" for breakfast. They eat it, he addeod significantly, be-- cause they cannot get Ontario fish on the menu. United States tourists came over in droves every year looking for fishing, and the rights to take white-- fish, the best fish in the Provincial waters, were denied them. "Singing the Blues." a dinner to the "bright lights" of the Legislative Press Gallery on Monday night and that every one of the "bright lights" and eaten and enjoyed muskrat in mistake for wild duck. "I bring this to the House's attention," said he, "to prove my argument that if a lot of up--to--the--minute young mon cannot tell the difffrence between muskrat and wild duck there is room for improvement in the publicity now being given our game and fish re-- scurces." Mr. Reid announced to the House, in rirging tones, that he had given st it 1% s
