GEORGE'S PARISH Hall, Centre St., Tuesday 150, gat) PANCAKE SUPPER, SHROVE TUES- fey, Christ. Churph, March Jet, 30c. Report From Ottawa | By ARTHUR WILLIAMS, M.P. ber to vote at any time has been 214. As the Membership of the House totals 245, I have been puz- zled Over the absence of the 30 other Members. Making allowance for the fact that some Members are paired and others away for legit- imate reasons, it still leaves at least 20 who are never in the House. Every one of the recorded votes have been forced by the Official Opposition, although it was abvious that they did not stand a snow- ball's chance in July of winning the vote. 'The height of Opposition folly came this week when they forced another recorded vote on the most trivial and inconsequential subject imaginable. Stanley Knowles, C.CF. had suggested a change in the hours of the evening Session. Normally we sit from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. The suggested change was that the House would sit from 7.30 to 10.30 p.m., a change of just half-an-hour and so minor that it did not amount to a row of pins, yet we were compelled to go through the tedious formality of taking a recorded vote. The resuit of the vote was that 110 voted for th. change and 82 against. That makes 192 votes out of 245. Except for about 10 Members justifiably ab- sent, and 2 vacant seats, it leaves some 41 Members of Parliament unaccountably absent. The Debate on the Speech from the Throne has occupied the .spot- light in the House this week. Mr. Drew re-started the Debate last Monday by speaking for two hours, one solid hour of which he devoted entirely to Communism. From ex- actly 20 minutes to 4 until 20 min- utes to 5 he said nothing at all except to refer to the menace of Communism. He tendered some advice to the Governmént on how to combat this menace and I thought the advice was rather flat. His first suggestion was thht the Government - should express in strong and forceful terms the in- dignation of the Canadian people. I could not imagine the Commun- ists getting very disturbed about that. Later in his address he sug- gested the re-introduction of a re- hashed Section 98, Inasmuch as we tried that kind of legal tactic some years ago, and it had failed t¢ squelch the Communists, I per- sonally was not much impressed by it. Winding up his long speech, the Leader of the Official Opposi- tion, in characteristically Drew fashion, declared that if the Gov- ernment adopted his advice "along the lines I have suggested", it would be satisfactory. Altogether in this Throne Speech Debate Mr. Drew has spoken 5% hours, Health Minister Martin gave an Health plan. As far as the plan permits, Mr. Martin gave an im- pressive account of how his de- partment was spending the $30,000,- 00C announced by former Prime Minister King last May. Of some local interest, especially to the people in Ajax, is a reply from the Minister of Reconstruc- tion and Supply to a question I placed on the Official Order Paper. I wanted to know what firms had located in Ajax and how much they Baritone To Take Music Tests Here The current examinations of the loyal Conservatory of Music of Toronto, to be held in Oshawa on March 3, will be conducted by George Lambert, who is recognized as one of Canada's leading bari- tones.

Crowly was the speaker of the evening at the regular meet- ing of the Electrical Maintenance Club, Oshawa and District. Jack, who is Power Apparatus Sales En- gineer, with Northern Electric, spoke on the subject of "Recti- fiers." Jack was introduced to the mem - bers by Ken Donaghue, also of Northern Electric, who is an associ- ate member of the club. The speai- er was thanked by Kelly DeGray. The subject was an interesting one, and Jack, who extemporizes with an air of complete composure, held his audience in awed silence. At the conclusion of the talk, a moving picture was shown to illus- trate the speaker's remarks. This served further, to bring out the fine points of the subject. One of the remarkable features of the picture was the scene showing glass blow ing. This trade takes many years to master; and after seeing the pic- ture, one can understand why. It was stressed by the speaker, that glass bulb rectifiers give long serv- ice, require little attention, and do the job quietly and efficiently. He stated that during the war, in Lon- don, these bulbs withstood the shock of bombs; it took a direct his account of his stewardship in the $91,453. Three of these firms have their head offices in England, one is located in the U.S.A, and the fifth is Canadian. The biggest bomb-shell dropped sc far in this Session of Parliament was the startling disclosures made by Alistair Stewart, C.C.F. Winni- peg North, that Fascist and Nazi collaborators had entered Canada illegally and were receiving protec- tion from very high and influential Canadians. Mr. Stewart supported his case with official documents. Many of these aliens had been sen- tenced to death by the French Government, but managed to avoid this punishment by escaping from France and securing a haven in Canada. .
