Freâ€" quently, when criticism is made of the Government in power, it is confused with criticism of Parliaâ€" ment. This is a fundamental error, because Parljsment contains within itself not only the Government, but the Opposition to that Government, which is capable of becoming the Government if the majority party does not command a majority in Parliament, . Therefore, Parliament does not only contain the Governâ€" menrit, but it contains an alternative Government which can undertake sion there ‘s a tendency to confuse the component parts of Parliament, and there exists a considerable lack of understanding between the funcâ€" tions of Parliament and those of the Government.

On the social side of their activities, it is planned to meet every second week for a social evening of dancing or games, The Sunday morning Teenâ€"agers Bible Class of St. Johns Church have started their regular weekly meetings with good turnouts. The class was formed for the yourg people of hjsh/school age in the parish and the response has been well met thus far. Mr. Frazer Earle hasâ€"taken on the duties of teacher for the group and looks confidently at an increasing circle each Sunday morning. Form Teenâ€"Age Bible Class At Anglican Church I have stressed this point in the first article of this series for the coming Session. I do so so that my constituents may be informed on my actions during the coming Sessions. I shall endeavotr to keep this series informative and factual, but this is a political article, and I repeat the byline which P use for this seriesâ€""Politics is the Science of the Wellâ€"Being of the People." The function of the political party is to elect enough Members to the House of Commons so that they may form & majority and undertake the business of Governâ€" ment. This is basically the British ruliamenhry system, and is unique in the world. It differs greatly from the American system, where the Executive Government may not, and frequently does not, enjoy a majority in Congress. Our ‘nystem of Government and Opposiâ€" tion is the most flexible form of Government devised, because it keeps a constant check and balance of the people‘s wishes through the machinery of the Parliament. As a Me: .ber of the Oppositi>n, it is my function to oppose the Government in measures that I onsider to be unwise. It is also y function to explain to my conâ€" stÂ¥uents the recson for my actions, and furthermore to be prepared to offer an alternate plan to that of the Administration, so that if the Government is defeated, I shall be able to assist my party in the formation of another Government. . It is said that Parliament is tmap l o ho tet mt thas vernment is supreme, the lack of understanding of this funcamental . fact . which brings on dictatorships. . Parlizment is supreme because Parliament repreâ€" sents the people by direct election. Government is not suprteme beâ€" cause the Government merely represents the will of the majority of the elected members, and with the multiplicity of political parties, it frequently does not enjoy the majority of the actual votes cast at an election, s the administration if it defeats the majority party in the House. Peter Barker Elected President Of New Group â€" Girl Guides The Busy Bees held their weekâ€" ly meeting at Nancy Inch‘s house, 9 Humberview Crescent, Weston. Joan Burlington read the opening.

How did you like the little tussle we had â€" arguing on whether women drivers are a greater menâ€" ace than drunken driver, er, er, er â€" arguing whether women can drive as well as men, It‘s a good question, but I‘m afraid that we didn‘t reach a definite conclusion. I guess the men will still have to put up with drivers of the opposite gender, even after our hour of brutal and excruciating debate. Next Sunday is THE night for all you amateur performers who are looking for a good outlet to demonstrate their lalent. We‘re having an open night at Open House where everybody can take part. So if you‘ve got a song, or & skit, or an act, or an â€" anything you can do. Aside from what you can put on, we‘re going to have a few games and songs, like Twenty Questions and & ski song that will ‘help carry the evening. But if you would like to see any member of the committee before the meeting ‘next unday night, we‘ll see how we can fit it into the rest of the program. Let‘s see you there Sunâ€" day night, Busy Bees How many people thought that there was no Sunday Night Open House just because there was no article in the paper?

HIGHLIGHTS TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON The Y and I teenage club is working on puppets under the able direction of Mr. and Mrs. Keogh. All sorts of fantastic and wonderâ€" ful "little people" are coming to life, who may find themselves as star circus performers in the hands of their young "managers." Boy Scouts at Loon Lake, Saskatchewan, are mapping the old Rebellion, Trail of 1885 from a point near Loon Lake up to Horse Hide Creek, where they propose to clear a lot and build a cabin. The recommendation by the Reâ€" forestation Committee was finally ‘approved although the $10,000 budâ€" get will probably be under discusâ€" ision again when the Finance Comâ€" mittee presents the 1949 budget. The report included recommendaâ€" tions that an offer to purchase land now owned by Council by the origiâ€" nal owner should be accepted subâ€" ject to reforestation of lands facing the highway to a depth of 300 feet, and that close collaboration be maintained with the Conservation Adthorities of the Humber and Don Rivers. a drink and cookies then the girls left for home. Y and I Club But Reeve J. D. Sibbald of Georâ€" gina Township, a member of the committee, said that the committee had an eye on several properties for reforestation which might come ‘up for sale at any time. He said that the committee wanted to have the money.on hand so that these lands can be purchased when they are offered. 3 _ Without reforestation, the York County of the future was described ‘as barren wasteland with onceâ€" bustling farms Jying idle, Council was also told by the committee that the soil will gradually be robbed of all fertility if conservaâ€" tion is neglected. At first opposing the recommendation, Reeve John Warren of East York argued that it wasn‘t good business to put that much money aside when it might not be used during this year. It was mentioned that the committee spent only $63 of a $5,000 budget last year. > The necessity for.reforestation in ’York was presented in no uncertain terms by the County Reforestation Committee at thuâ€"last meeting of ‘York County Council. The comâ€" mittee suggested that the amount of $10.000 "be made available for the continued systematic purchase of sub marginal lands for reforesâ€" tation purposes as such became available at suitable prices."
