Parliament Faces H c a vy Agenda

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) OI'I‘AWA, April i5—Intercst in Parliamentary activities from now to prorogntlon will be divided am- ong the Red and Green Chambers and the half dozen committees which are faced with heavy agen- das and which have not yet renlly commenced their work.

Radio, railways. pensions, elec- tions, privileges of the House speaker and agriculture are sub- jects of special committees of the House, and all are expected to ask for permission to sit while the House is sitting, which will mean many empty seats in the Green Chamber from now on. 3

Of outstanding public interest will be the committees on railways. radio. pensions and agriculture. Ei- ection reform will be dealt with at some length, but no lef;151Mi°n 15 expected at the present session in view of the fact it is not likely to be needed for some years. Ques- tions of privileges of the Speaker during the interim between defeat of a. government and elections of a new speaker will deal with mat- B tors of procedure. 5

lsi.

3rd. Re Age I.lmlt—’I'he age limit for boys set down in our Juvenile Delinquents Act, which is 9. Do- minion Statule is sixteen years of age. any byc—law passed by the Town Council would have to con- form with this Statute or be ultra. vires.

4th. Re Pin Ball Games — I am working in co-operation with the Attorney General in this matter,

I have the honor to be, Sirs, Your obedient servant, (Signed) rmcy KINCH, Chief of Police.

The following resolution was un- animously passed at a regular meet- ing of the Brotherhood of Trades E1121: Lgfillifidl‘ of] tltirtla Townlof Summer- » . o e evenn 7' 1936. g of April

“WHEREAS there are upwards of three hundred members of this or. ganlzation now out of employment, and every avenue of remunerative 9mlJ10YmI3nt is being investigated, to the end that our members may be the better able to maintain themselves and their dependent; families, rather than accept the de. m°“11lZlIli.' alternative of seeking direct relief.

“AND WHEREAS the funds set “Dart by our Brotherhood for relief Purposes are almost exhausted by ever increasing demands made upon them.

“AND WHEREAS during the past two years little has been done to relieve unemployment in our town by way of the erection of works of a

Permanent nature, street projects, etc., as compared with other urban sections of Canada,

“AND WHEREAS it is expedient that those in authority be urged at once. and before the situation be- comes more acute, to make the ne- cessnry provision for the Trades and Labor men of this Town, for at least the ensuing year, in order that the Ills consequent upon unemploy- ment may be avoided.

"'I'i-TERIYFORE RESOLVED that

vincial and Federal be urged to col-

(Continued from Page 1) the country not as well provided for as we would wish, but we are hopeful yet of being able to see- ure some assistance from private interests for isolated localities that are in need of immediate atten- tion. I wish to say that if arrange- ments can be made, our Depart- ment is willing and anxious to cooperate with them in every way possible, in order that a better service will be received by the Province at large.

General Policy “In regard to our general policy,

I might say that after consulting with the Livestock Department,

“Generosity” Brewery

or Lauded

Province have the purchasinz power they had a few years ago. there would be no question in re- gard to the other lines of business; for business then will become as it was during the years of 1928-29.

“This, if it is possible of accom- plishment, cannot be done by our Department alone, but the work will need the hearty co-operation of the press, our Boards of Trade. The Rotary and Gyro Cubs, and

very much can be expected from the Women's Institutes if they take up the work cooperatively with us.

"I might go further and say that I cannot see any reason why our Churches could not take up the questzon of the material welfare of the people of the Province.

with the Experimental Farm auth- . orities, and with our Deputy, it has been decided that for the time being we would centre our en--, deavours largely on poultry and,‘ hogs, and increased production of field crops. There is, Mr. Speaker, | a reason for this. Namely, that the poorer clam of farmer, whom it is our intention to first consider. can more cheaply get into this line , of agricultural endeavor than in-. to the ordinary lines of Livei Stock; will a further reason tllati returns must reach him much? more quickly than from any other i class of live stock. i

“This will mean additional help, in our Department in order to get ‘ in close contact with the people,‘ not only in getting them interest- ed in this matter but to give them in.tl'uctions and advice in the. Proper handling of young chicks, and the poultry bu:iness in gen- era .

Ilog Industry

"In regard to the hog industry, I might say, using the Livestock Shipping Clubs and with the in-‘ formation obtained from the Do-‘ minion Livestock Branch, that I find there are some sections ofl the country well established in the hog industry. but I regret to say that there are other sections that ship scarcely any hogs during the‘ year. I

"It will be our aim to stimulate an interest with regard to the sec- tions thut have not up to the pre- sent time participated in the ad- vantage of this industi'y—to do evcrytlling possibe to get tliitn es- tablished in some way or of i‘ in the producing of better and more hogs.

"When we come to realize that a’ man with a young brood sow of bacon type can, with one of her off-spring, about meet the cost of the purchase of said dam. it shows u.s that it is a profitable business. more E.]J9Cliilly for the poorer class of farmers as well as for those who do not need our assistance.

“The question will naturally aarlse in the minds of many as tol supply and demand. In regard to ;thaf, I would say that our bacon and our poultry are now being shipped in carlots to the English market and, while there may be a i time in the future when supply may equal or in fact surpass de- mand, the small amount that our Province can produce will not have any material effect on the British market.

“I might say that I appreciate very much the fact that the Pre- mier, the executive and the Leg- islature have seen fit to express their confidence in our Depart- ment to the extent that they have been willing to substantially in- crease the appropriaiioiis for our Department, and I am asking the members of the House if possible. to see that such estimates are endorsed by this House.

Necessary Undertaking ‘

"I might further say, sir, that I fully realize the responsibiliiy that this throw: upon our Depart- ment, and I assure the Legislature and the Country at large that €‘\{‘l‘_V effort will be made to eco- nomizc in expenditures, and with the money expended. an earnest effort will be made to accomplish the most that can be done for the Fanning Industry in this Prov- ince and the question naturally arlses~Is it worth ii? To that

when we realize that there is des- titution in the homes, that only for the relief paid out by this gov- ernment a.nd the Dominion Gov- cmment we would have actual starvation within thLs province in the midst of plenty, it is time for
