Members Discuss Business of Last Session in Par- liament. ' The meeting called by the South Grey U.‘ F. 0. Political Association last Wednesday night in the Town Hall did not‘draw as large a crowd as was expected, but at that the hall was in the nei hborhood of half full when the c airman, Mr. Joseph Crutchle , calledthe meet- ing to order an called on the first speaker, FR. Oliver, M.P.P. Mr. Oliver took half an hour and in his address reviewed the\. last session'of the local Legislature. He first commended 'the town on the renovated town hall, claiming that the big meetings put on by the United Farmexys made this necesâ€" sary and he thought they should get some of the credit .for the im- provements made. The defeat of the Old Age Pen- sions scheme was also a matter of regret to Mr. Oliver, who felt that the province of‘Ontario should line up with the rest of the Do- v’minion in looking after their older citizens. The Widows and Orphans Act was also discussed, but“ the main charge against the Ferguson Government was its Liquor Control Act. The speaker claimed that not one word was said of the workings of the L. C. A. at last session, boot-‘ legging was still going on as badly as ever, and that while the govern- ment claimed there was no politics in the enforcement of the L. C. A. he could see the politics in its ad- ministration on every hand. Mr. Woodsworth Spoke Mr. Woodsworth’s address was more a review of. the situations that had arisen to cause the form- ation of the farm block in the West, and in his remarks explain- ed with the aid of a map the dif- ferent conditions that made it dif- ficult for a Government ‘at Ottawa .. ‘RevieWing the Legislature, he spoke on the educational and rural hydro questions, and the wor of the Agricultural Committee, ich he said did practically nothing durâ€" in the past session in which they he -d but four meetings. There was to be something more doing _next year and it was altogether likely the committee would be put on a more efficient basis. llUULU JUL 0.

Miss Macphail .The address of Miss Macphail, the local member, was short, and, as usual, to the point. She felt plainâ€" 'ly distressed at the small attendâ€"- ,ance that had turned out to greet Mr. Woodsworth, especially among the laboring men in Durham, but, said that if they would not attend three men in Durham who have too much to do with these things, and asked, “Where are the ministers?” Miss Macphail’s address in the sion was noteworthy, not for, what it had, but for what it. had not done. considering that they had had “oceans ofItalk” in the past five months. .
