community go with mr phil lips and mrs mcmaster to their new home in greenbank a number of chickens sold at the i ten reached ur men overseas last y ear s t0 you remember the change of address form which you filled out when you moved your civilian home after- that was filed at your local post office every letter sentto yoiuv- old address had to be redirected to the new one and that went on until your correspondents were familiar with your new location probably you didnt move very often but each time you did the post office gave redirectory service and if you will think about that for a momcntyou will begin to see what a stupendous task confronts the canadian postal corps in han- dlingthe military mails when thousands of men are being moved almost daily yet in spite of the need of tracing men from reinforcement units to their locations on fighting fronts in spite of the need of tracing them through hospitalization or while on leave when their unit is moved in spite of delays in air mail service caused by adverse flying conditions of delays in surface transportation caused by enemy action in spite of every war hazard youean think of your post office and the canadian postal corps delivered 31500000 letters to men overseas in 1943 it is inevitable that in tracing men who have been moved or wounded some delays occur it is inevitable that enemy action holds up delivery in some cases but everything that human ingenuity and effort can do to give you a service that means speedier delivery of the letters your menqre waiting for is being well and thotoughly done and will be done new methods of speeding mail deliveries are being put into effect new possibilities are being studied think of your own friends who have been posted to new locations overseas and realize the task of tracing them when their mail arrives at their former address you can help your post office and the canadian postal corps to give even better service if you will take a moment to make sure that your mail is correctly prepared do these simple things boftom judging from this digging on the wilkinson place main topic around goodwood and the township homes is on- house- cleaning with baby chicks a close second thousands of the little chirpers have arrived on the se cond line but it would bo interest ing to learn the total chick popula tion in the whole township flash correspondent visited ux- bridge goodwood and stouffville last weekend and at the tribune watching the staff shaping up for another tenpage paper this week at goodwoocl we enjoyed a meal at the home of mr and mrs j freid roads were not passable below goodwbod so we couldnt meet our correspondents hoping to obtain a correct bus time in stouffville on saturday we enquired at two stores a garage and finally found a timetable at the tribune office surely the gray coach is driving enough business from the district as to be able to carry their timetable in the paper as they did a few years ago a little accommodation and considera tion is not a bad thing even for a big concern to practice today thursday is the salvage collection in stouffville so have your bundle ready red cross stouffville red cross gratefully

tired legislature which had witnessed many outbursts of tern- per and intolerance in its last sitt- ing of 15 hours came to a final and weary close at 20 minutes before 4 oclock in the morning of thursday april cth even after the last of the 103 bills had been passed through first second anil third readings and after the last dollar of the 70 million needed for the coming year had been voted we had to sit and endure hearing officials of the house read the name of every bill and designate the amount of money voted to each branch in every department of government and then after that the lieutenant governor was asked to read rnd too long a review of the work of the session i hope that sometime an elected government is sensible enough to have something done about these quick hurried sessions which sit far into the night the last- week a three months session starting at 2 in the afternoon and going until 6 with no night sessions and the mornings devoted to committee work and the members constitu ency business would enable us to do a good job in a deliberate and con templated- manner tradition is alright but i would start it short of reading the names of 102 bills and alloting the money that we have voted to each separate depart ment in oral fashion it is all print ed anybody can read it if he wants to know in another parliaments have known the moment any offi cial starts to read a long lingo that everyone knows the members call back lustily desist desist and- the official obligingly desists but here we cannot cairout anything- but have to behave like good child ren in school i find it difficult to behave so constantly the agricultural legislation was much more meagre than had been expected farmers generally have been pleased that a committee or commission of enquiry into agri- culture by farmers has been set up they are working and at a cost to the province in a two year period of 35000 but we thought there would be at least aninterim report on which legislation could be based this session there was however one bill passed amending the milk control act to permit the milk pro- ducers association to levy a license fee on all milk producers based on the volume of production the fee will be deducted from the milk cheques this action was recom mended by the committee of en quiry and supported by the govern ment and the ccf and opposedby the liberals and the labour pro- gressive hon mitch hepburn was very much opposed to the billand in his speech of condemnation told the house that he had 170 milch cows on his farm some farm county committees are to be set up inthe counties these are to be voluntary bodies just what use they areto be is not clear to me yet many practical farmers think they will be useful and i hope they are right the ccf- members were disap pointed that severalbills whichnve proposed were voted down we had presented enabling legislation which would have permitted municipali ties to set up municipally owned fuel yards andisell fuel at cost but they were voted down another bill to allow school teachers to sit on municipal councils not as school trustees but only as council members was also defeated the government introduced a bill to provide all employees in indus- trial undertakings with oneweeks holiday with pay each year and setting a standard 8hour day and 18 hour week the portion on hours of work however cannot be really effective till after the war- the opposition- pointed out that in many lowpaid industries it would really harm thc workers unless they wore guaranteed the same weekly wage the government claimed however that waases were under control from ottawa and could not be dealt with by a pro vincial legislature the final re sult is that the board administering s the act has power to suspend it in any cases where hardship would result or to exempt whole indus- tries and classes of jabour andit seems likely that the actual hours of work in most industries will re- main the same many of the outsiders attending- the legislature particularly the members of thepressgallery have commented that this was one of the most businesslike sessions we have had in yearsrwith little wrangling v and time wasting of the op- position feel wo can take at least- some of the credit for that while we have criticized the government strongly on many occasions we have cooperated in approving all- the legislation on which there was no vital disagreement and the de bates i think were kept on a high level oh both sides ourfundamental criticism of the government politics has been that they did not go far enough this province is going tobe faced with a number of serious problems when the war ends and the armed forces return to civilian life and civilian jobs we have felt that a great deal more might have been done to pre- pare for that time and make sure there wouldbe jobs for them to come back to on many of its 22 points the government still has a long way to go today
