It referred to the suspen-- sion of drivers' licenses of those con-- victed of offenses. Hon. Mr. Henry in-- troducecd an amendment to his own ameondments by suggesting that, in cases where the conviction was laid under the reckless--driving clause, there should be no suspension of license unless the A little more amusement was added to this change in the designation of the highways by Hon. Harry Nixon. He wondered if the tourists would think that "The King's Highway" referred to Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King and thus create an advertisement for the Liberal Party in the next campaign. The On-- toris Government, he thought, should be warned to kep its eyes open as to dansor of the new nomenclature in aiding its federal opponents.

In explaining the bill for the regis-- tration of real estate agents, which passed the committee stage yesterday, Premier Ferguson said that one of the circumstances that the public has suf-- fered from in the past has been the '"high--pressure --real estate _ salesmen who may live in Buffalo but who trans-- act business in Canada." Many citi-- zens had bought property from this type of person, only to find that the property was under water.
