L. Houck, Liberal, Niagara Falls. The presentation of the motion was prefared by an exhaustive review of Government activties from welfare to game and fisheries Mr. Houck was greeted with thunderous applause and desk--thumping, and a similar ovation was tendered E. A. Lapiirre, Liberal, Sudbury, as he rose to sec-- ond the motion of acceptance. Constructive Measure. Interrupting his review only with a reminder of Hydro obligations to his home city, Mr. Houck struck most nearly home when he spoke of the Milk Board. The Government, the Niagara Falls dairy expert said, had given support to the Conservative Milk Control Board--"because this appeared to be constructive, helpful legislation for the benefit of the needy farmers, and because milk is practically a public utility." "I think most criticism of the Milk Control Board comes from people who do not understand the situation," he said. "I am a farmer, and I ask only that these critics try to see the farm-- ers' point of view. When the milk price had gone up, the member maintained, the farmer had received the benefit. Farmers were now getting almost 50 per cent. of the consumers' dollar.

Ag for other Hydro policy, the member called for the slogan, "Back to Niagara." Labor--By voluntary agreements, made binding by law, "it is hoped to overcome many, if not all, of the gross abuses of underpayment and excessive "We should adopt as the policy and the slogan of the Government and the Hydro Commission, 'Back to Old Niag-- ara.' We have had enough of the policy of favoritism to large interests --our money which we have to pay for power, should stay here in Ontario and not lost to the power barons of Que-- bec. This Government has taken Hydro away from being the plaything and happy hunting ground for big in-- terests and powerful corporations." Education to abolish fees for all de-- partmental examinations will remove a financial burden which has assumed sorious proportions in numberless cases throughout the Province.". "A comprehensive program (of tour-- ist publicity) has been laid down for the 1935 campaign. Newspaper and magazine advertising will be used in the United States. . . .
