MARTYN Nlinister 9 V); RO- ‘ 29, 1928 WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE [EGISLATURE Toronto, March 23rd, 1927 Spt'aking volumes for the adminâ€" istration of the government the Legislature this week approved gupprementary estimates to the ex- tent of 87,546,154 without a single wn- heing altered. Item of $25,000 {or wolf bounty service and ex- }.gnso-s was used by members of the Humsv as a vehicle to suggest an increase in the bounty. "\Ve have found that the money inducement is not effective,” stated Premier Ferguson. “We have been able to get more wolves when pay- mg 815. than when we were paying $40. and we got all the wolves from those provinces. Since then we haw reached an understanding so that, the treasury will not be de- l'l'ziuded." Having reached the stage where medical treatment was no longer necessary. Premier Ferguson ex- plained to the House that there were 1.000 to 1200 persons in On- tario mental hospitals who were now ready for family or municipal care. Discussion followed the in- trmluction of a vote of $2,000 in the estimates to provide for the removal of such patients. Many of the» patients. the Premier felt, would he provided for by the fam- ily. The Premier disposed of the idea that special homes should be erected. “The government does not intend to do anything heartless,” stated the Premier, “But mental hospitals are not in any sense boarding houses. but curative in- stitutions; if patients were not in a certain condition they would never have been taken in.” Amendment to the Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Act, provid- in: that the government per diem rate for indigent patients be in- creased from 50 to 60 cents a day, has been introduced in the Leg- islature. The measure also pro- vides an increase in the municipal grant from $1.50 to $1.75 .per day. The Untario Hospitals association had urged on the government that the grants be raised to 75 cents and $2. respectively. Provisions of the hill are to be operative from April 1. Having passed legislation through the second reading stage the gov- é‘l‘lllllellt. through Hon. W. H. Price, Attorney-General, is well on the way towards the protection of the public against fraudulent security salesmen and dubious stock issues. The legislation, in brief, gives the gi‘wm‘nment power to bring about the registration of brokers and security salesmen and grants authority for the suspension of brokers from operation for a period “f 10 days pending investigation when it is felt that there is ground for suspicion. A l Introducing the bill, Premier Ferguson stated that a general re- vision of the Act had been contem- plated. but owing to the fact that during the last few days further (uh-stions had cropped up, which, if considered, would lead to long «May. it had been decided to hold tho- general revision over until next session. Introducing the measure, the Atâ€" turney-General announced the am- bitinn of the department to bring about the abolition of papers known :5 “tipster‘s sheets”, which purport in f-rive advice on good investments and market speculation. These sheets. contended the Attorney- General. in reality proved a serious {miracle to the gullible investor. 'l‘lw Attorney-General pointed out that the regulation of such sheets Thursday, much 29, ms was not within the pervue of the Ontario Government but urged that the DominiOn Government, through the Post-Office Department, be re- quested to take action which would result in their distribution and en- trance into Ontario being prohibit- ed. The legislation has been received with favor by the entire legislature, the leaders. of the Opposition Groups adding their voices of ap- proval to the measure. Designed with the view of being a material aid to agriculture and industry, Premier Ferguson has in- troduced in the Legislature his bill to establish a Research Foundation in the Province. Under the terms of the legislation the Province will pay the sum of $200,000 annually for five years towards the amount needed to carry on the work and industry will contribute $1,000,000 by subscription. Following the in- troduction of the measure the Premier stated that he had secured the services of Sir Joseph Flavelle as Chairman of the Foundation. Vast importance of research as it applied to farming and industry was stressed by the Premier in an- nouncing his measure. The study of elimination of waste was of primary importance. In addition, modern research would result in many savings and make ample re- turn to the province for the money so invested. “We cannot overestimate the importance of Ontario taking this step,” stated the Premier, “The proposition is not to put the under- taking under the direction of the University but to nominate a Re- search Council, which will be made up of university men, representa- tives of various industries, agri- culture. mining, manufacturing of different kinds, pure science, per- haps insurance menâ€"men directly interested in the problem. The Premier pointed out that there would be no conflict with the Federal scheme along the same direction; one being complementary to the other. Supplementing the Frauds Pre- vention Act, Attorney-General W. H. Price has introduced a measure which, when passed by the House, will oblige all companies whether incorporated provincially or by Federal charter, or in a‘ foreign country to file certain information with the Provincial Secretary. The change comes in the form of an amendment to the Companies Act, and provides for the filing of a prospectus by all companies. In the past companies incorporated by the Dominion' Government have re- fused to file information with the Ontario Government. The object of the bill is to provide further facilities for the checking up of fraudulent schemes designed to ex- De$pite :3 series of mishaps, with two crashes, the li ht Auro Avron airplane “Red Rose,” piloted by Capt._ W.

Fish and Game Committee of the Legislature has fixed the following dates for deer hunting in the Province, following the delibera- tions of a special committee on the subject: 1.

It will also recommend to the Federal author- ities that 15 days he cut off the present duck season for that sec- tion of Ontario south of the French River. This, if approved at Ottawa, would cause the season to open on September 15 instead of September 5. St. Joseph’s Islandâ€"November 10 to November 25. Changes and additions of im- portance have been made in the Highway Traffic Act amendments before the Legislature. The spot- light clause now reads as follows: “No spotlight or searchlight or other auxiliary light shall be at- tached to any part of a motor vehicle higher than the headlamps of such vehicle, and the ray of light from such spotlight, searchlight or auxiliary lamp shall be directed to the extreme right of the tnavelled portion of the highway in such a manner that the beam of light shall strike the highway within 75 feet of the vehicle; provided that this shall not prevent the use of what are commonly known as cowl or side lamps or clearance lamps; nor shall this section apply to a motor vehicle of a municipal fire depart- ment or a motor vehicle used by a public service corporation for locating breaks in, or trouble with, over-head wire." “How’s this,” asked a lawyer, “you’ve named six merchants in your will to be pallbearers. Would you not rather choose some of your friends with whoni you are on better terms?” “No, Judge, that’s all right. Those fellows have carried me so long that they might as well finish the job." There is Reason THE DURHAM CHRONICLE MAPLE SUGAR MAKING IN CANADA Canada’s aboriginal inhabitants the redmen, left as legacies not only the canoe, the snowshoe, and the toboggan but also the valuable article of food and wholesome deli- cacy, maple sugar. When the first settlers arrived the Indians in springtime brought out their larg- est pots and kettles and proceeded to make syrup and sugar. The passing on of this knowledge was a boon to the settler, because in a land that was well supplied with fish and game and wild fruit, and in which grain and vegetables soon became abundant, the two food necessities difficult to obtain were sugar and salt. In. addition to their immediate uses these com- modities were necessary to pre- erve foods; sugar for the conserv- ing of fruit, and salt for curing fish and meats. Sons of pioneers. have left on record how that, after the years supply of maple sugar had been made the fruits in their season would be preserved in pioneer style. The strawberries,‘ ripening first, would be boiled in sugar and the‘ conserve then poured into a keg and covered with a layer of powdered maple sugar. Follow- ing the strawberries came rasp- berries, blackberries, blueberries and plums and cranberries, all of which would be treated in like manner; and the hope of the child- ren of the family was that before winter arrived the keg would be quite full of alternate layers of conserve and sugar. In those days no thrifty housewife thought her familys needs were provided for unless she had stored onahigh shelf in a cool place a row of “loaves” of maple sugar made by cooling the said sugar in milk pails. Indian Taught Earliest Settlers the Artâ€"Syrup is Now Principal Product of the Industry. As settlement advanced and pop- ulation increased, maple sugar making came to have a social sig- nificance. “Sugaring-ofi'” time was made the occasion for an evening party of young people in the woods, when, under the thin disguise of assisting the sugar maker, there was much sleigh-riding, racing of horses to’ the sugar “bush”, eating of hot sugar cooled in snow, paying of forfeits and general jollity. It was in fact a sort of spring festi- val marking the demise of King Winter. After the season’s supply of syrup and sugar had been made, buckwheat cakes and maple syrup became during the spring months, the national breakfast dish.

W 2181597 W'Z/z'neiy the sap of all the maples contains sugar and in pioneer days, in times of scarcity, even the Manitoba maple, the least productive of the family in this respect, was tapped for the purpose of boiling sap to obtain sugar. In commercial prac- tice, however, only the sugar maple (Acer saccharum) is tapped for sugar making. With the passing of the pion- eer stage and the opening of trans- portation routes the industry. be- came relatively less important and maple food productsâ€"sugar, syrup, butter, and creamâ€"are now gen- erally considered luxuries, but with increasing lpopulation and wealth the market is continually broaden- ing. The most popular form of the product of maple sap is syrup, the manufacture of which has now reached a high state of excellence and efl'iciency. It is sold in sealed containers, glass jars, and bottles, and, like honey, has its light and dark varieties. Most people like the thin almost colorless liquid, but others, remembering happy days in the woods, prefer a thicker syrup with a rich amber color and a good “bouquet”, and the modern maple sugar maker is able to supply both demands. Maple syrup and sugar bring a breath from the stirring days of our early history. Indians, furs and log cabins are recalled by the inimitable flavor of this truly Canadian product. The making of maple delicacies is a woods in- dustry which conserves the forest, and whether the operations be con- ducted in the most modern plant, or in the old-fashioned sugar- house, the product is redolent of thrilling adventure and glorious romance in early Canada.
