He scored on his first argument over procedure but then over-played his hand and forced the first division of the session when the government was upheld by a very substantial vote of 14:1 to 55. He received support only from members of his own party. Mr. Drew is force- ful and aggressive but his first full dress effort was somewhat disappointâ€" ing as he dealt almost entirely for two hours with the matter of Dom- inion-Provineial relations and failed to lay down any pronouncements on the many other vital questions of the day. Quite naturaHY, DEI'haPS~ when so'fresh from the provincial arena 'Mr. Drew was inclined to treat subjects from a provincial view- ‘Of course it may be just coinciden- tal but a Richmond Hill friend told 'us' this week of receiving a letter from his daughter who lives in Van- point ly exaggerated in comparison to their real significance. Too often this is the practice of the daily press and readers are apt to pay undue heed to minor matters played up by the press and overlook much of the more real- ly important news which doesn’t get such .big‘ headlines. There have been no fireworks Su far, and newspaper headlines of a clash on early procedure were great- Former Prime Minister King, look- ing considerany older and somewhat tired, occupies a front row seat as the member for Glengarry, and John Brackeny former Leader of the Opposâ€" ition has given place to Col. George Drew. Opening day sincere tributes were paid to Mr. King and Mr. Brac- ken from all sides of the House. "Six new members were introduced to the House, 4 Liberals and 2 Con- servatives. Hon. Louis St. Laurent took his seat as Prime Minister for the first time, there are three new Ministers, Pearson in External Af- fairs, Garson as Minister of Justice, and Winters in Reconstruction. The Throne Speech forecast legis- lation to make the Supreme Court of Canada the last court of appeal in all legal cases. Other important legis- lation pending include ratification of the agreement marking Newfoundland our tenth province, an agreement with the United States for develop- ment of the St. Lawrence and provis- ion necessary to implement the sale of agricultural products to Britain. At home we have been blessed with good crops. Industrial expansion is taking place at an unprecedented rate. There have been few differen- ces between employers and employ- ees leading to stoppages in work. In- flationary pressures are less pron- ounced. Employment is at higher levels than ever before. In striking contrast with - communist. countries, the free economy of our country is demonstrating its ability to provide for all a high standard of living, so- cial justice and individual (freedom. It is the View of the government that a steady advance toward the goal of social justice for all is an efi‘ective safeguard against the influence of subversive doctrines. Despite unsettled conditions and the disruptive activities of interna- tional communism, the nations of western Europe are making progress toward recovery. Aid from North America is contributing substantially to the restoration of economic activ- ity, thereby increasing their ability to resist internal and external aggres- sion. ace. Until the united nations are able to provide an adequate guaran- tee of peace and security, peace-lov- ing nations will also be obliged to seek security by combining their strength. The North Atlantic na- tions, including Canada, are negotia- ting a security pact. The treaty when concluded will be laid before the house for" approval. The North Atlantic treaty will supplement the treaty of mutual guarantee signed by the western European nations at Brussels last year. Such regional arrangements are provided for in the united nations charter. The fifth session of the 20th Par- liament opened last week with cere- monies a little inore colourful than last year, ‘but still with an almost minimum of pomp and display. The Speech from the Throne forecast leg- islation to reduce taxation, broaden- ed family allowance payments and new steps in social security, a Royal Commission on television, radio, etc. The Speech from the Throne dealt first and foremost with Canada’s res- ponsibility in world affairs and em- phasized that this government’s first concern is to ensure peace and secur- ity. To this end, Canada continues to support the principles of the un- ited nations charter. Our foreign policy is based on the realities and dangers of the existing situation. One of these is the communist men- 0TTAWA LETTER by “Jack” smith, MP. North York Waiter: “Your coffee, sir; N’s ial from South America, sir.” Diner (sal'castically): Oh, so where you’ve been?” On Sunday evening, January 30, our pastor, Rev. Mddd’le began a serâ€" ies of sermons based on the vital is- sue of Stewardship. We are stewards not only of possessions but of our time and talents and by practising true stewardship we may bring joy and happiness to ourselves and oth- ers. Soloist for the evening was Miss Slhirley Hare, who chose as her sel- ection the beautiful anthem “The Stranger of Galilee.” We do apprec- iate those who give of their talent for the worthy cause of the church. The annual meeting of Temperance‘ ville Church will be held on Monday evening, February 7, at the home of M1". and Mrs. Wilbert Jennings. It is hoped that all members and ad- herents of the church will plan to attend. On Tuesday evening, January 2-5, the W.I. held another successful eu- chre at the school. Twelve tables enjoyed a friendly evening of proâ€" gressive euchre. Mrs. Benjamin and C. Henshanv Jr. were successful in winning the first prizes which were kindly donated by Mrs. W. S. Hare. Second prizes were won by Mrs. Roy Folliott and E. Phillips. The consolâ€" ation prizes donated by Mrs. McClure were won 'by Mrs. Di-bl) and Ruston F‘olliott. The next euchre will be held on February 8 and all are in- vited to again attend. Tickets for the Kate Aitkins' Mai-- ket Basket Broadcast of February 16 have been received and‘will be sold at the meeting. If you Wish 3 ticket and are not able to attend the meet- ing will you kindly make your re- quest known by that day. The regular monthly meeting of the Women‘s Institute will be held on Wednesday afternoon, February 9, at the home of Mrs. F. Hare. The program topic will be Canadian 1n- dus-tries and the Roll Call is to be answered by showing a snap of your- self as a baby. The lunch commit- tee will be Mrs. Dibe, Mrs. Burnett, Mrs. Bracken and Mrs. Henshaw. All ladies of the community are cordially invited to attend. During the session while I am at Ottawa I trust every citizen of the Constituency of North York will feel very free to write me if I can 'be of any assistance in any way, and to say once more how much I appreo iate hearing from the constituents and getting their suggestions and ex- pression of opinion on matters of national interest. Best wishes to all and write as often as you wish. The address is J. E. Smith, M. P., Parlia- ment Bldgs., Ottawa. :No stamp is required on the envelope. TEMPERANCEVILLE During the recess it was my plea- sure and privilege to visit in many parts of Canada as well as in the constituency of North York and I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the people of the riding for many courtesies and helpful co-operaâ€" tion. Yes, there’s some talk of a general election. The government elected in June 1945 would not need to have a vote until September 1950, but a long period of election expectancy is not considered good for the country or business generally and I would ex- pect one much sooner than the end of the five year period. Of course gov- ernment supporters are confident of retaining the-confidence of the elec- torate, and opposition members are making claims as to what they will do. However, when the time does come to go to the polls the Canadian people will make the decision, just as they always have done, and I am sure they can be trusted to make the best selection. In the meantime there is a big job to be done for Canada and the world and I hope Parliament can keep its mind on the task rather than the election until the appointed time does come. I hope in future letters to deal in more detail with many of these very important matters coming; before your Parliament and to p355 on to you the views and viewpoints of the government and other parties in the House. . A really important announcement of the opening week was that the Prime Minister is going to Washing- ton early this month to confer with President Truman. This will 'be an important conference with possible far reaching results. letter that Mr. Drew had been to their city and that within twenty-four hours the'y welge faced with a power shortage. DAVID MCLEAN SELLS REAL ESTATE so that spec- IOl‘ the tune belng', is a little ‘Iace lifting". The Masonic Hall is not used as much as it might be. A few facilities there would turn it ‘into constant demand. A lot and small building for the Cubs, Guides, Scouts and Brownies would go a long way. They need a little encouragement We don't have $40,000; we have $18,000. Do we need a new Hall? Mr. Angle says: “Let us not cry for the moon”. That is right” let us not cry for the moon. Let us com- plete one step at the time, and if necessary make do with what we al- ready have in- a spirit of, co-opel'aâ€" tion. We need direction, leadership, foresight, common-sense and cour- age to carry through to a success- ful conclusion those purposes we undertake. But we must not forget that we need ability to select goals within the reach of our capabilities. I suggest, without prejudice, that at this time we have neither the ability nor the capability at our disâ€" posal to complete the Hall for All project. I suggest ‘that the funds can be directed to the furtherance of this town by improving those fac- ilities which are available to us at. very much less cost. All we need, for the time being, is a little ‘face lifting". The Masonic Hall is not run in such a manner as to‘ make neighbors want to join us. The Hall for All project, frankly speaking (and regrettably speaking, too) so far as I have been able to observe does not have the blessing it should have. A great deal of sin- cere effort has been behind it and much credit is due to the service ClUlb who inaugurated it. Dissension and cen‘fi'oversyprevail. Where to put it; lack of funds to complete it. The townl'Council should, or should not accept liability of its future mhintenance. What can be done with the $18,000.00 raised from the public. The Hall -for Allis a sup- reme head-ache to somebody. in need not be a headâ€"ache for a few people who did their part but should bean OPPORTUNITY for all the tapayers of this town and vicinity to help carry the responsibility. We cannot, and should not start a $40,000.00 project with only $18,- 000.00 to do it'with; and IF we had the $40,000.000‘ to complete it with, it should not b‘e built at any other location than one which will assure a minimum of maintenance ,‘and up- keep expense. Thal: is at the Mun- icipal Hall where Icentral heating may serve the 2 buildings et-cetera. Based on the obvious lack of planning for the future Welfare and sound progress of this Town, I ani inclined to agree that the Rumble Street rateâ€"payers are right. They say that the move will be fought to the last ditch; that is not right .13.- dies and gentlemen because this town actually could be and should be run in such a manner as to‘ make neighbors want to join us. Out.0f recent letters from the peo- ple have come first of all aistate- ment on the proposed facilities of the new Hall; secondly a proposal that we provide artificial ice for the Arena, and thirdly a statement from the Rumble Ave. Ratepayers’ Assoc- iation to the effect that they dislike the suggestion of annexation of the Rumble Street subdivision to the Village of Richmond- Hill, “because the Village has absolutely no advan-| tages to offer them ‘to join 5.” " I observe controversies ‘and a seeming lack of willingness to elim- inate most of thefikitile,‘ timefiahd mind-wasting activites that clutter our days and keep us from carrying ont the things we really Want and need. Yet, we all know that there is no better town,‘ no better people, no better. willingness. The town is rich in people and opportunities. What is wrong? It may be that we have “growing pains" and are unwilling to accept the inescapable fact that because we have the location and facilities we do have. that we are going to grow whether we like it or not. We are the healthiest suburb of Toronto; have no rodilcal e1ements_, and an op- portunity to plan foi' what is bound to come. In fact, it. is here now and we are not ready to take care of it. Out.of recent letters from the peo- ple have come first of all a.state- ment on the proposed facilitieé of to simply be one individual and' a part of this town and vicinity, belie- vng‘ that a great deal of good can be accomplished if we set out to find what is needed. Find the propel leadership to carry it out, and â€"â€" in particular not to get involved in any plan or idea which does not serve the common good of the ’majority. There never has been or will .be any greater majority _than CHILDâ€" REN in any community; and, as far as Richmond Hill is concerned, it is my considered observation that very little efiort is directed to the pur- pose of organized recreational adâ€" tivity for the CHILDREN.

The capital outlay to be in- curred, in the end would not be for the benefit of the majority of the tax-payers. At present it is obvious that the Arena might have been available more extensively to local groups and the children if oh- requirements had been recorded in time this past Fall; in paticular, I think the plans, sched- ules et-cetera might have been an- nounced in the local paper by the Council a little earlier than last week. There is nothing seriously wrong with the operation of the Arena that cannot be overcome by cb-operation of all parties concerned] It is up to us to support Councillor Mabley so that the most possible use may be made of the Arena. I suggest Mr. Mabley set up a committee to run the Arena. It would make his task fl‘he Arena Councillor Mabley in his letter to the citizens of Richmond Hill exâ€" plains that it s a difficult task to please all. Mr. Mabley feels that sympathetic understanding of the citizens and groups desiring the use 01' the arena. Constructive help and suggestions would be welcome at any time. In View of the fact that a public meeting has been called to discuss the advisability, of installing artificial ice for the rink, I shall not deal with hte subject of the arena at this time, other than to mention that if the citizens of Richmond Hill vote to have an artificial ice pl\antinstall- ed, the tendency to make it a mun- icipa'lly owned business which'MUS'T show a profit. will be greater than ever.
