PHONE 494 Agreement to Disagree It is jokingly said around the parliament buildings here that at last Mr. Drew and Mr. King have reached agreement. In their dis- cussion of Dominion-Provincial relations they have finally reach- 'di the point wliere they have agreed that they can't agree. Conference on Street Repairs Investigates Delay in Work Acting on protests o! Bowman- ville businessmen whose places o! business have been virtually isa- lated during repairs on King St., Mayor C. G. Morris with Chair- man of Raads and Streets, Coun- cillor T. A. Gartan, met with the representatives of the consulting engineers and the contractor, Sat- urday, with a view af speeding construction. Bath the west and east sections o! the work were in- spected during the course of the talks. A. H. Keff er, Toronto, was pre- sent as a consultant with the en- gineers, Proctor, Redfern and Laughlin together with their res- ident engineer, W. C. Irvin. Also present was Mr. Anderson, Part Hope, Divisional Engineer, De- partment o! Highways, since one half o! the 30 ft. widtli o! the higli- way is the responsibility o! the province. Mr. Hanlon, President, Toronto Construction Corp., with his foreman, wio are in charge ai the work, explained the difficul- ties encountered. As reported in The Statesmar last week in a formal statement by the resident engineer, the mair drawback was discovery o! brok- en water mains during excavation that required new materials, hence more delay. That anda general shortage o! materials and labor were the factors causing de- lay in cornpletîng the contract. During the conference it was rec- ommended that more weeping tiles should be inserted> and thi. work was proceeded with Mon- day morning. The entire situation was gener- ally explored and a recommendia tion was made ta attempt ta se- cure more labor now being dis- charged from tobacco plantation in the district. Ram lias also beer a factor in the delay. It is ex. pected that Council will mieet ir special sessions ta hear reports or further pragress and do ail pas. sible ta speed up the work. It wil o! course, be some weeks yet be. fore these sections on King St wifl bg open for traffic. (By Jim Peters> Highways Commission? There has been renewed talk here recently of putting provin- cial highways under a commis- sion, similar to the Hydro-Electrie Commission. T his is an old topic, but the present seems a probable time for the move to be made. It is generaliy conceded that the Highways and Public Works Department will be split up soon anyway. With a particularly large program being pianned in Public Works it is toa heavy a depart- ment for one minister. And it is expected that someone will be appointed soon to share the load with Mr. Doucette. And while such a reorganiza- tion was underway would be a logical time ta make the change- over to a commission. There is a good deal of feeling within the department in favor of the change. Principally, of course, because it would remove the high- ways further from politics. Favors Small Communities A noticeable feature of the Health Department since Hon. Russell T. Kuelley took over as Minister last year lias been an exceptional emphasis on the wel- fare of the smaller communities. The latest reflection of this is an effort that is being made ta en- able nurses ta train in smaller hospitals.* Up till now the small hospitals haven't been able to aff ord a qual- ified instructor ta give the neces- sary training. The Health Min- ister is now working on a plan whereby two or three hospitals may share one instructor, and thus enable them to turn out fully qualified graduates. In this and similar proposais the Minister meets a certain amount of opposition within his department. Being made. up mainly of professional men the Department is inclined to favor 1centralization, with its presum- ably grelter efficiency, in hospi- italization and training. However, 1the Health Minister, beinig a-lay- iman, is apt ta, take the view that iefficiency isn't ail-important. And, 1having grown up on a farm, he has an eye out for the small comn- :munity when considering most :issues. 1Miik Commission Slow 11 It is beginning to seem as if the 1milk situation won't be cleared up 1as soon as most people had ex- pected. Solution to the situation -now rests on the Royal Commis- sinsfindings. And the Com- mission has been very slow in getting into action. At the time of writing the Com- mission counsel lias just been ap- pointed. It has taken three weeks ta make the appointment. The delay, it is said, lias been in find- ing a lawyer who was familiar with the milk field. However, the slowness in getting underway, in view of the situation, doesn't en- courage hopes for a speedy in- vestigation. In the meantime injunction pro- ceedings taken in Toronto against the increase in the retail price have been held up while author- 1ities ponder the matter of the in- junction's legality. Milton J. Elliott, ex-mayor of Bowmanville, was elected ta the executive of the East Centre Progressive Conservative Associ- ation which met in annual con- vention last week in Cobourg. Gordon K. Fraser, M.P., Peter- ooro, was re-elected president and lias held that office since 1939. Four counties are repre- sented in the association. Rural and urban representatives on the executive 1946-47 are: Victoria- Haliburton, John Alton, Mrs. Rog- ers; Northumberland, Kenneth Crews, Roy D. Dodge; Durham, M. J. Elliott, Senator Iva Fallis; Peterboro, Frank Erskin, Mrs. Lillian Cridland. The meeting was thrown open for general business which in- cluded resolutions sponsored by delegates at large and concluded with an inspirational and spirit- ed address by J. M. Macdonnell, M.P., Muskoka, financial critic of the goverinment in the House of Commons. Other speakers were Senator Fallis and Hon. Leslie Frost, Provincial Treasurer. Mrs. Fallis challenged the wo- men of Canada ta get out to the poils and register their direct concern in the welfare of this country and in the peace treaties, for it was their sons who paid with their lives in the recurring challenges to world freedom. Hon. Leslie Frost outlined the great potentialities of Ontaria 's wealth and went on ta say that, given a fair break in Dominion- Provincial relations, this province was destined to achieve the des- tiny it s0 manifestly was capable of maintaining. He spoke on the eve of the by-electians which re- turned Bracken candidates in two ridings. Mr. Macdonnell, the chief speak- er, drew attention ta the chief danger in the continuing admin- istration of the Mackenzie King government which was playing into the hands of leftists ail along the line. Only by the adiierence of the C.C.F. party ta the main Liberal policies in the House was the government permitted con- tinuance in power. The speaker emphasized that this tendency was the wedge calculated to des- troy our entire political freedom. This keynote was emphasized by Charles E. Stephenson, M.P., Durham county, who also spoke at the gathering. Mr. Stephen- son. who has taken care of every complaint and case called ta lis attention, particularly those af returned soldiers, went on rec- ord as endorsing the policies ai the Progressive Conservative par. ty, not the least of which was a square deal for farmers as out- .lined by the original manifestc cof his leader John Bracken pria! .to the last general election. It was indicated at the close of .the convention that the nationa. .leader, John Bracken, will be pre- 1sent at the general assembly of ;the association whidh will take .farm as a social evening at the ,Newcastle Community Hall, Fni 1day, December 6, 1946. At this -meeting which will include a lun- >cheon and floor show, Mr. Brack- en will talk on national problems -Further notice will appear irn thE press.
