The development of the re- sources of Temiskaming, which date back to the discovery of Cobalt at the dawn of the cen- tury, hos been the scaffolding which has helped us erect the huge and solid edifice that is the economic structure of present day Ontario, and is on the verge of giving this province a succes- sion of mighty shots-in-the-arm as a result of recent mining dis- coveries andother industrial de- veloments. Silver and cobalt have been the main products of our mines and are located in the immediate vicinity of Cobalt. Arsenic as a by-preduct and the ores contain nickel and other mineral sub- stances. On the shores of Lake Temis- kaming, the richest deposits of cobalt ore ever exposed in the Cobalt camp. was discovered at the Aguanico workings.

Dr. Harris explained that the vaccine, made by the Connaught LaBoratories of the University of Toronto, is being (provided without cost to the local Health Unit. It had proven harmless in tests in the United States last year where 450.000 children re- ceived a similar preparation. Its use in Ontario at, this time would be in the nature of a_ further effort to ascertain on a trial basis the value of the vaccine. The Medical Officer of Health explained how the vaccine given in three injections by a preedure similar to that used in diphtheria toxoid. The dose is relatively small--the first two in- jections are given a week or 10 days apart. 'and the third is given four weeks after the sec- 1s ond.

Lee, the man who did more than any other man dur- ing the past half century to open Nor- up anddevelop the rugged north country which he loved, died early Sunday morning at St. Joseph's Hospital, North Bay. He would have been 84 years old on the 15th of April. So massive were the achieve- ments 'of this great-hearted nor- therner that he left his imprint on every aspect of life: civic, religious, business, sport. Mr. Lee had been a patient at St. Joseph's Hospital for about a year but was not confined to his bed until the past four or five weeks. At Christmas and New Year's he was able to spend the holidays with his family. His wife, the former Bessie G. Amey of Cannington , Ontario, died in Atpril, 1953. The man who exerted so great an influence on Northern Onta- rio development as chairman of the. Temiskaming: and Northern Ontario Railway lett' school at 13 and started life as a lumber- jack working with his hands. Mr. Lee was born in April of 1871 at White Lake, Ontario. At 13 years of age he left home and started earning his own living in the frontier lumber camps. For 15 years, while he grew to matur- ity he did the rugged work de- manded in the brawn-powered lumber camps of the late 19th century. Chairman of the railway com- mission from 1921 to 1934 it was George Lee who advocated and directed the building of the line north from Cochrane to the shores of James Bay at Mooso- nee. He who advocated the ex- treme extensfon east from Swas- tika to Rouyn and Noranda. Mr. Lee's contribution to life in the North was not confined to work. He was a great sportsman.

Appreciation is also ex- tended to those who made com- ments on the material submitted. It could be said that the Goy ernment is more abused and less used than any other institu- ion, and the purpose of these articles has been to 'explain some of the proceedings of a Legis- lative Session. Lvery person in f anada should realize that he has final two members of Parliament, one in the Federal House and one in the Provincial House, who are ready to assist them with any problem they might have with and Department of '(overn- ment. The Member represents. his gonstituents at the seat of Gov- ernment and makes representa- tion on their behalf and in the general interest of the Riding, and also represents the Govern- ment in his Ridinig and must make every effort to explain and popularize Government policy amongst his constituents. Although every session of the Legislature starts in a leisurely manner, there is always great haste and hurry towards the end. Matters which were not antici- pated before the Session_and in the earlier days of the Session, often require immediate atten- tion. For this reason, new legislation has to be introduced during the very last hours of the Session. The closing of a Session is al- most like the finish of a school year as the Members wind up their work and return to their various Ridings. The Sessional attendants, etc., who, together with the Members, must number two hundred are required only during the term of the Session must seek other employment. The organized groups of school children, who visit the Chamber daily during the Session, no long- er throng through the corridors and hallways; the numerous visi- tors no longer climb the stairs to listen to the debate or the passing of a Bill. A few days prior to the close, the members of the Press Gallery accumulate the Bills, Reports and Hansards, etc., and shower them from the gallery to the members below as soon as_ the Houes is prorogued. This is a time-honored custom. The. final act of the Session takes place when the Lieutenant- Governor enters the Chamber and gives Royal Assent to the Bills which have been passed, and which are read by the Clerk of the House. It is expected that an,election date will be announ- ced on the last day of the Ses- sion.
