To do Condemns Hishâ€"Handed Action of Legislature It is a grave situation into which Hydrovthas been dragged by the politiâ€" cians. There can kbe no question that Messrs Ferguson and Henrnry used very poor judgment in negotiating contracts with Quebec companies, obligating Onâ€" tario to pay millions of dollars every year for power which it could not use. I; is true, too, that the present adminâ€" istration has effected a saving of some five millions of dollars annually througn cancellation of those contracts, Unâ€" fortunately the saving is made not so much at the expense of power barons as of the thousands of bondholders, many of whom could ill afford to lose their income from this source. If the new legislation becomes effective, the outlook for them is hopeless. Hon. Mr. Roebuck can talk in the Legislature until he is blue in the face, but he can never justify the Governâ€" ment‘s action in voiding the authority of Ontario courts in matters pertainâ€" ing to Hydro. It may be true that Onâ€" tario faces no immediate shortage of (From Simcoe Reformer) The Rerformer heartily concurs in the sentiments expressed in a leading editcrial in the Toronto Globe and Mail condemning the proposed CEsSses Of i@aW IOlI0OWIIlIY UL court order. Such legislation would plazse Hydro above the law and render it immune to legal action for breach of contract or for any other action whatsoever. While primarily aimed at avoiding the effect of adverse court decisions resultâ€" ing from the cancellation of contracts with Quebec power companies, it would have a much more farâ€"reaching signitâ€" ficance in that anyone doing business with the Hyvdro Commission would be with the Hydro CommissI1O deprived of the right to s payment or nonâ€"fulfilment ment. In other words, so aro is concerned, the courts would have absolutely no : adjudicate, nror would : against» Hydro have . th chance of recovering what his rightful due through fairness, have commanded the confidâ€" ence and respect of all the peopie. Every citizen, no matter how humble, is assured of a fair and impartial hearâ€" ing by the Ontario Bench.

But the extreme steps being taken by the forces in the Legislature go beyond all bounds of reason or necessity. It seems that having gone so far, they cannot turn back. Doubtless a succeeding acâ€" ministration of another politiclal stripe will aconul the legislation and begin negotiations all over again. Such is Hydro in the hands of party politicians surely a far cry from the days of Sir Adam Beck and his vision of a pubâ€" liclyâ€"owned enterprise, selfâ€"supporting, free from political interference and aimed only at bringing comfort and convenicnce to the masses. Much Loss Through! Sickness in Canada "It is further estimated that about 60 per cent. of Canada‘s population from 40 to 60 years are in need of care from controllable if not preventâ€" able diseases. ‘"Canada can have health if it wishes to pay for it. That has been proven by the effective results obtained in such programmes as Gdiphtheria immunizaâ€" tion, pasteurization of milk, infant mortadity reduction, typhoid and tuâ€" Cerculosis control. ' "There are means available in Canâ€" ada for the effective control, and the eventual elimination of such diseases as cancer, tuberculosis, diphtheria, tyâ€" phcidâ€"if the people would only lsarn to use these means. "The main problem of health as it affects Canada is (1) the preservation of health and (2) the prevention of ease and ill health. "Primarily,, this. . is.. a . question: of health education. It is a question of steady, persistent education of . men and women (boys and girls) to the fact that most diseases can be preâ€" vented. "In the meantime a tremendous waste from preventable illness goes on from day to day.‘" Huntingdon Glearner:â€"Going cut on an elk hunt two nimrods from Aberâ€" deen, Wash., parked their car in a dense woods and to keep the radiator from freezing, covered it with a blanâ€" ket. They started out on a long jJaunt, sconmn got mixed up in their directions and were lost., Suddenly they saw a vague, shadowy form some distance ahcad. To make sure they would get the elk both of them fired at the same time. All was quiet after the shots. Rushing forward the hunters found they had riddled their auto blanket and the entire front end of ‘the car. It is understood that Hon. David Croll, Minister of Welfare for Ontario, is planning to have an act passed to prevent business firms from using the name of the quintuplets in unauthorized exploitaâ€" tion. Apparently Hon. Mr. Croll believes in monopoly. The latest story about the Moscow trial is that agents of the Soviet purchased a drug in the United States and that the use of the drug on the prisoners caused them to act as they did. The soviet must have bought a large amount of that peculiar drugâ€"enough to use on the lawyers, judges, court officials and spectators. this preventive work would also have meant a notable measure of employment during the deâ€" pression years. However, as the politicians come from the people it is hardly to be expected that they will have very much greater foresight than the people themselves. $10,000 for Exploration on MacFarlane Long Lac ‘"The driliing and surface exploration, suspended last October," explained Mr. MacFarlanc, "gave very encouraging results and although all the holes did rot reveal commercial ore it was deemâ€" ea advisable to resume the drilling as soon as conditions would permit.
