survivors of the june 19 debacle have got their second wind and re ports say tho followers of former premier henry are preparing to hurl a lot of brickbats at premier hep burn and his cabinet colleagues and for those who have any doubts about tho matter let it be said that the premier and his henchmen will not be idle when the verbal shrap nel starts exploding as far as legislation is concerned there are indications that it will be light the moratorium act and labor legislation appears to he the most important to date but most likely the cabinet have other pieces of legislation about whieh little has been said changes in relief system may be made and there is a growing belief that hon t b mcquesten minister of highways has an im portant amendment in regard to the highway traffic act there is always widespread public interest in the first session of a new government and particularly is this true in connection with the present occupants of the treasury benches premier hepburn is a young man and his vigorous personality and personal magnetism is one reason why the visitors galleries will be crowded day by day it will be his first appearance in the legislature and he

various remarks of those present the success was even better than last year if that were poss ible from the moment those two stalwarts messrs jarvls and martin took your ticket at the door you felt the spirit of the evening and the dance was there for those who felt that way inclined or downstairs the euchre tables were waiting those who preferred to spend their even ing at cards the president bill evans did the reception honours in his own dining table manner and made each one present feel that this was their night to make the most of it walter daniels and burt lloyd had charge of the dancing and albert arthur and his orchestra satisfied everyone who was dancing arid be lieve me there was plenty harold bevens the secretary as well as giving a general inspection all around was busy with a byford who had charge of the fifty tables of euchre and if you think that i3 not a real job just try it some time and the card games went off with out a hitch which is a real tribute to the
