""Well," proceeded the farmer, "I planted a napkin!*"* â€" Christian Science Monitor Out of curiosity a farmer had grown a crop of flax and had had a tableâ€" cloth made out of the linen. Sométime later he remarked to a visitor at dinner: "I grew this tablecloth myself." "Did you really?" she exclaimed. "How did you ever manage it?" It was plain she had no idea of how tablecloths came into being, so the farmer lowered his voice mysteriously as he replied: a deep heartâ€"shaped neckline. Seed pearl embroidery encrusted the bodice, and the full skirt swept into a slight train. She wore a mantilla of rose point lace, and carried a bouquet of yelâ€" low roses and swainsona.

The Liberals, including Mr. Nixon, voted this down. Still on the same drive for action the Opposition proposed; That the Government should undertake (with special reference to the constituâ€" tional relationships between the Dominâ€" ion and Provincial Governments) a surâ€" vey of existing social schemes here and elsewhere; and with due regard to the probable course of events after the war, make recommendations for a unified workable plan which will assure a proper standard of work, wages, health, education, and living standards, for all our people â€"with special referâ€" ence to the reâ€"establishment of the men TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING Later on Mr. Drew‘s followers offered a resolution demanding that the administraâ€" tion and control of the provincial forest resources he placed under the direction of a public body to be known as the Ontario Forest Resources Commission, after the manner of the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission. Mr. Nixon The advisability of planning beforehand for postwar recovery was again pressed upon the House by the Opposition in a resolution which read: * That the proposed St. Lawrence development and other public underâ€" takings throughout the province, in the opinion of this Legislature, call for the immediate creation of an Ontario Town and Country Planning Commission, with authority to recommend and supervise plans for the reconstruction, reclamation, and development of rural and urban arcas. This and similar Opposition proposals were voted down by the Liberals, including Mr. Nixon. Rejected by the Liberals, including Mr Nixon. RECONSTRUCTION PLANS In the same session the Opposition, imâ€" pressed by the need for economy in the administration of the province, brought in a resolution : That the estimates for the current year be referred back to the executive council with instructions to decrease the total amount of supply by $25,000,000. This was turned down by the Libcrala. including Mr. Nixon.

The Liberals, including Mr. Nixon, killed this resolution. HELP FOR AGRICULTURE The Opposition renewed the attack with this further resolution: The members of this legislature express their regret that the Government has failed to meet the critical needs of our agricultural producers; and they insist that the Government immediately take whatever steps are necessary to assure stability of prices, and an adequate supply of manpower and machinery for the rapidly increasing demands of war production. This was a move on behalf of the farmers of Ontario which the Liberals were afraid to veto directly, The Liberal Government members, including Mr. Nixon, got around this difficulty by adopting a resolution praising the Government for the admirable work done by the province in assuring manpower, prices and machinery for the agricultural industry. An Opposition resolution dealing with the current fuel shortage read: In the opinion of this House a fuel comâ€" mittee should be appointed to inquire into the fuel situation and to recomâ€" mend to the government measures to assure the greatest possible sungly of fuel for the coming winter. The next resolution submitted by the Opposition asserted that the Hydro Electric resources of the Province belonged to all the people; and that it is therefore desirable that the Hydro Electric Power Commission Act be amended immediately to equalize rates for electric energy and remove the present service charge in rural areas.

The prizes were won by Miss Catharine Thomson and Miss Pauline Mullen. * % Despite the sufferings of last winter and the prospective sufferings of the coming winter on the part of the people, the Liberal Government of the day, including Mr. Nixon, unanimously voted down this resoulution. The next Resolution, introduced by the Opposition at the recent session of the House, proposed that all members of the Canadian â€" Armed Forces from Ontario should be given effective legal protection against the normal economic consequences of their service; and that all those, whose ability to meet their financial obligations has been materially reduced by such service, should be sheltered against the forfeiture of instalment contracts, cancellation of life insurance policies up to $10,000.00, and judgments or other legal proceedings for debts incurred before entering military service. The resolution stated thaf this protection should be extended on the express condition that those able to pay should not be encouraged to evade their obligations. The deferment rather than the cancellation of obligations was suggested so that justice might be assured. In supporting this resolution Mr. Drew and others contended that old age pension payinents should be raised immediately by at least $5.00 a month and that the practice should be abandoned of compelling old people with little homes to give up these FINANCIAL PROTECTION FOR SOLDIERS A further resolution introduced by the Opposition reac : Resolved that in the opinion of this House the Government should take immediate steps to adjust the oldâ€"age pension payment in accordance with the present cost of living. â€" Instead of voting down this resolution the Liberal Attorneyâ€"General stated that this proposal had been taken up with the Federal Government.

As far back as 1941 George Drew placed before the Legislature a proposal calling upon the Minister of Labour to arrange a conference to be known as the Ontario Industrial Production Conference to be attended by representatives of Labour Unions, Employers‘ and the public. The purpose of the Conference was to be the assurance of maximum industrial producâ€" homes before they can collect their scanty pensions.
