The bills haven‘t been printed yet, but the Premier told us that they would set up machinery similar to that used in Dominion elections. This is welcome news, because Ontario‘s present antiquated elecâ€" tion laws have been the subject of persistent criticism from members of all parties since 1944. In fact, both last year and the year before, special committees of the Legislaâ€" . ture were set up to consider wholeâ€" gale revision of the election law, but for some reason, after being | INCH‘S DRUG STORE :;;ei;-hd-.v they were never allowed Mothers‘ Allowances Three other bills should have easy passage through the House, since they incorporate proposals previously made by Opposition members. Last year Agnes Macâ€" phail (CCF, York East) moved an amendment to the Mothers‘ Allowâ€" ance Act to extend the allowance to age 18 years where a child is atâ€" tending school. Her bill was never called for debate, but this year Welfare Minister Goodfellow has added the same principle to a Govâ€" ernment bill. The new measure also provides for an allowance to 18 where children are mentally or physically disabled. ySIcany CC e y u2 wek uC wEo . Another Opposition proposal for the past three years has been the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, designed to assure that women doâ€" ing the same work as men will get the same pay. The Premier has ;;t announced that a similar bill will be introducted by the Governâ€" ment in a few days. Liquor Licensing â€" A third Government bill makes several changes in the Liquor Licence Act. Licensing provisions are tightened up, and the Board is authorized to suspend any licence without having to give an explanaâ€" tion.

Finally, provision is made for takâ€" In the debate on the Governâ€" ment‘s amendments to the Liquor Licence Act, Premier Frost made a strong plea to the Dominion Govâ€" ernment to give up its right to tax liquor and turn this source of revenue over to the provincial govâ€" ernments. If this had been done in 1949, he pointed out, Ontario would have received over a hundred milâ€" lion dollars in liquor revenues, inâ€" stead of less than forty millions. At the present time, he said, the Dominion gets one and a half times the liquor revenue that the provâ€" ince gets, yet the province has all the headaches of controlling the liquor business. Possible Sales Tax ing a vote in municipalities that have had no outlets, but have not been legally "dry" under the old local option law, They will now be able to vote themselves "dry." C. In a statement to newspaper reporters after the debate, Mr. Frost is supposed to have hinted that if Ontario doesn‘t get these liquor revenues it might be necesâ€" sary at some time to impose a genâ€" eral provincial sales tax. Nothing has been said about this in the House, however, and I doubt that the proposal would get a very welâ€" come reception. Private members‘ day on Wedâ€" nesday saw another interesting debate on Opposition members‘ bills. We discussed a bill by Gorâ€" don Ellis (CCF, Essex N.) to proâ€" tect homeowners from foreclosure if their income suffers from unemâ€" ployment or illness, a bill by A. A. MacLeod (LPP, Bellwoods) to lowâ€" er the voting age to 18, and a bill by William Dennison (CCF, St. David‘s) to require a preâ€"marital blood test for syphilis. All were defeated, but they had a good hearing. Liberals and CCF memâ€" bers voted together in support of the vote for 18â€"yearâ€"olds, but the Liberals joined with the Conservaâ€" tives to vote down Mr. Ellis‘ Homeâ€" owners‘ Protection Act.

The training which is now being ofâ€" fered to cadets at WCVS has been greatly extended and improved. A cadet can now follow a course of study in which he may learn firstâ€" gid, Morse code, radio, .weapon training, and he may also take ofâ€" ficers‘ and NCO‘s training. In adâ€" dition, he may attend a"‘ special summer camp of seven weeks‘ durâ€" ation during which he will:receive a thorough course in signals, driver mechanies, leadership, radar, or hospital attehdant. «If he passes this course, he receives a cheque for $60. All this training is aimed at improving the cadet in matters of selfâ€"diseipline and leadership, Many of the school activities, as in former years, have been under the direct charge of the student council, consisting of an executive and two representatives from each form, who are assisted by an adâ€" visory committee of four staff members. Besides the usual school dances, both informal and formal, the council put on a hospital drive for the purpose of furnishing a room in the Humber Memorial Hosâ€" pital, and also directed the staging of a benefit hockey game in Wesâ€" ton Arena for a star rugby player hurt last fall in a game. The Glee Club this year has about 25 boys and 25 girls, and is also preparing & "&luic and Drama Night" program. Many of the boys have never sung in harâ€" mony before and are getting. a thrill out of their work. Continued from page 1â€" under the direction of Mr. Bruce Metcalfe.

But they enjoyed a fine season, the Midgets winning a title under the able coaching of Mr. R. Templeton, the Seniors coming close to doing so when they went through their â€"schedule unâ€" beaten only to bow to East York ;;tfl;y "did last year. Their coach was Mr. M.

Girls‘ â€" interform â€" games â€" are softball, volleyball and basketball, the champions in which receive felt tabs and shields. The games are refereed, umpired, timed and scored by a special group of girls who lhuve received instruction in a leaders‘ class. _ Weston girls also take part in the Toronto District Girls‘ Interâ€" scholastic Athletic Association, and this year won the championship in archery.

It kills by producing inâ€" ternal hemorrhage after the roâ€" dents have eaten small amounts of bait over a period of several days. By making warfarin bait availâ€" able throughout the year, stray rats and mice can be killed when they enter the area, thus preventâ€" ing the rebuilding of the rodent population. Warfarin concentrate is mixed with bait, the kind of bait dependâ€" ing upon the location and the type of food already available. Ground yellow corn is often used. The use of dry cerealâ€"type bait makes baitâ€" ing highly effective during the winter months â€"something that cannot be done when ardinary poiâ€" sons are used with fish or meat. An outstanding advantage of warfarin rat and mouse killers is their relative safety when used around humans, pets, and domestic animals. Of the hundreds of test reports received, no case of acciâ€" dental poisoning of a human was reported. The comparative safety of warfin‘ products results from the fact that they are relatively nonâ€"tixic in single doses.

Before its inâ€" troduction on the market last autumn, warfarin was tested in several hundred field trialsâ€"many of them in Canada.
