Page Eight THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, IURSDAY, MARCH 31st, 1927 Legislation will likely come down next year providing grading and packing of fruit, as a result of a decision this week in a Toronto court that the federal law is without jurisdiction in Ontario. The House has just enacted a Live Stock and Livestock products Act, for a similar reason, and made the federal enactment effective here beyond question. Hon. Mr. Martin, who referred to the manner in which Toronto market had been ruined for the growers by the action of hucksters "facing" open barrels of apples, and being able to evade the law, which covers only sealed containers, said it was a serious situation which had to be dealt with soon, but growers and dealers would be consulted before the legislation was framed. The Liquor Control Act, with its 144 sections, travelled through the Legislature in Committee of the whole rather more rapidly than generally expected. Its progress seems largely due to the fact that Opposition leaders and members early discovered that the Government had given very careful thought to every clause. There was an expression of opinion by the Premier that liquor stores might b allowed to remain open until seven o eight o'clock in the evening, and Mi Ferguson also named tentatively the salary of D. B. Hanna, Chairman of the Commission, as $20,000, with that of the two commissioners as possibly half that amount. At the opening of the debate, Mr. Ferguson declined to accept a suggestion from W. S. Haney Con., West Lambton, that of Canadian lake passenger should be regarded as the domicile of passengers, for the purpose of the Act. "BOYS WML BE BOYS" BUT THIS ONE TURNED OUT TO BE A "GIRL" The bench, counsel and spectators in the Juvenile Court in Toronto received one of the greatest surprises ever recorded in the court, when a young "girl," dressed modishly in fur-collared green overcoat with light pink hat, high-heeled shoes and brown stockings, stepped mincingly up before Judge Mott to answer the name of a boy charged with vagrancy. "She" turned out to be a boy from Barrie, Ont., who masqueraded • as a girl, he told the court, in order to get work in a Toronto laundry. He had been arrested on a vagrancy charge after his landlady's suspicions had been aioused by his actions. He is 15 years St age and had not been able to find a position in the week he had been in Toronto. The court decided to place him under supervision of the Big Brother movement, which will pay . his return fare to Barrie.

He noted a marked change of sentiment toward the measure, and said he had received many suggestions from individuals and organizations, as result of which he proposed to offer some amendments. "There is really great necessity for it," said the Prime Minister, "but I am opposed to the idea of imposing it abritra-ily, until people have opportunity to study it thoroughly." In connection with education mates, Premier Ferguson expressed the opinion that secondary schools of the province are not getting their fair share of money support, and said an effort was being made to work out some more equitable solution, noted that Queen's University received as much in one year as the entire grant to secondary schools. He repeated his warning to Queen's and Western University that they must continue their efforts to build and arrive at self-supporting status. In connection with research work at Toronto, he hinted at early announcement of further discoveries of importance, such as those made by Dr. Panting and Dr. Box.
