Tfiarrir Examiner Publkhed by Canadian Newspapers Limited is defield street Barrie Ontario FRIDAY JULY mi Plgo OLD TRICKS 0N TllENlWi FRONTIER Hydro Needs New Breaker To Maintain Power Flow it is good news to learn that before long secondfbreaker will be installed by Barrie Public Utiliiiia Commission so that recurrence of Tuesdays complete hydroelectric power failure in the city will be virtually impossible Industrles in the city lost thousands of dollars stores restaurants service stations and households were greatly inconvenienced when the transmission lines on Anne street were put out of ac tion for an accumulation of reasons Barrles power comes from the Ontario HEPC via two transmission lines which are tied together by only one breaker at the present time Installation of sec ond breaker at cost of some $25000 will be well worth it since another power failure would tie up only small area while repairs are made Two years ago there was power cut out all through the city the same as this week and for two hours longer But it happened on Saturdayand industries were closed There was not the same ORILLIA THANKS TUDHOPES The Orlllia Times in 1911 told that the Tudhope Carriage companys gen erous offer to relieve the town from payment of interest charges as well as principal on the $50000 loan made year and half previously is one of the most graceful acts recorded in0ntarlo municipal history Here is company that voluntarily assumes an obligation of over $1300 yearly relieving the town from payment of interest as well as principal on its loan The town has long been indebted to the Tudhopes because their splendid capalollirties have always been devoted to Orillia For the new and unexpected manifestation of theorillia spirit they are entitled to rthe hearty thanks of every citizen loss although this newspaper suffered heavily Instead of press time at two oclock it was almost pro when the papers rolled out But when things of this nature Occur the general public should start to think gtWhen power goes off there is rush to the telephone and the lines are jammed at the public utilities office by people wanting to know whats wrong and when they can expect power This simply adds to the delay The engineer in charge is the first one to know when the power falls and he wants to know first of all where the trouble is He depends on calls from people who have this vital in formation but if they cant get through to his switchboard because the lines are jammed then the emergency crew cant get to work onjthetrouble Itfs the same with the police and fire departments who must be alerted to an emergency through the telephone Peo ple should stay away from phoning un less they have information of value to those concerned in an emergency Down Memory Lane ORANGE CELEBRATION HERE Barrie Saturday Morning told of the Grand Orange Demonstration in Barrie July 12 1911 whichdrew large crowd although it was expected that Corona tion Day celebrations might cut down

Ist today is Robert Badman Liberal MP for Fort Wil liam out OTTAWAOne would think it bit risky for Patrick Nicholson to allow an M17 to write in this space while he is on vacation 0n almost every subject con cerning the nations business on which he writes there is vari ance of aplnionbetween us He told me that can write about any subject and he agreed to my suggestion that should tell his readers how feel about the disciplinary practice of vo ting in Parliament on questions in which the life or the govem ment is not at stake You have alien heard about government members solidlyfor any and all govern ment measures regardless of individual preference The tie halo on the oil pipdino bill of 1056 was case in point during which the supportersof the gov emmentof the day were named trained seals by the Opposi tion While it is true that good measure of loyalty to the party ls essential or the orderly con duct of parliamentary procedure nevertheless it seems to me that partisanspr is carried to the extreme often seen in lav ish adulation for the leader and blind obedience to party discip line which is not at all essential for good government on the con trary believe that more in dependent expresslon of opinion by all members of Parliament would result in better legislation for Canada WEALTH or EXPERIENCE Between these members there is wealth of experience and knowledge which could be bet ter exploited by giving each member greater freedom to ex préss ideas which may well be in opposition to their leaders viewpoint Theoretically member is al ways free to speak and vote as he pleases but on the other hand he does so on the peril of inviting disapproval from his leader It is also true that quite often member does advance suggestions without consulting abcllllon The govcmmenlspon sored bill provided the compro mise which the majority agreed upon In the final vote We of the official opposition split is supporting the legislation and 17 voting against lt REVISED NOTIONS in the light of the experience gained in four sessions of Par llameut had to revise some pre conceived notions held about the iunctinu of political parties other than the one which forms the government of the day strong Opposition is essen tial to the efficient conduct of government business which de molisth the idea that some peo ple still believe that it is use less to have an MP in Opposi tion If this were so then we would have to change the whole concepl of democratic govern ment Private MPs in Opposition do notnecessarily suffer any dis tinct disadvantage by not being supporters of the party in power But on the other hand if our partysysiem were to evolve to free MP5 from strict party dis cipline and to permit each to speak and vote according to his own conscience

ademocratlc form free of the shackles which party politiCSimposc in other words not every vote should be regarded as one on which the government should be forced to resign if outvoted It seems to me that once general electionls over party politics should not be allowed to overshadow the business of the nation in the interest of which We of all parties should work together as team for the com mon good of all Canadians with his leader or members with many years of experience To illustrate my point wish to recall an experience had in connection with debate on the flag issue had decided to speak against certain features of the bill which was introduced by private member it just happened that saw the fellow shortly béfore he was to intro duce the measure in the House and told him that frankly didnt think much of his bill and that was going to speak again st it because while Canada needs flag was not in favor of just any flegix He immediately suggestedthet talk the matter over with one of the senior members of the party did so and to my aur prise he took exception to my intention because he felt that great majority of the people were in favorof the proposal contained in the bill REFRAINED FROM DEBATE There was nothing to stop me from speaking anyway but in the interest of peace in the fam ily refrained from entering into the debate opposing the views of the party which ec cordlng to accepted practice and customs should only be done in the privacy of the caucus Thlsvdoes not mean that as private member am not al lowed to say whatl think in the House which members of all parties often do it is simply an illustration of an indirect thrust of party discipline Rarely members are released to vote as they pleased but it does happen occasionally The debate on capital punishment is snexample of what think should be pattern for major debntes in this instance there were members of both the gov ernment and Opposition who TheI way to reduce cr me markedly toaivorco it
