To the onslaught in the budget debate came the Op- positioi.'s financial critic Leslie Frost (Con., Victoria) who declar- ed that the Municipal Act should be revised and the whole setup of provincial and municipal adminis- tration and taxation in Ontario should be recast . . . "shift the burden of taxation from real es- tate" . . . "inaugurate an 'honest' debt retirement scheme" . . . (Premier Hepburn invited the Op- position to "go to town" on his estimates).

Re- corded In 1938 Dividends paid shareholders of Ontario mining companies In 1938 amounted to $G1. 500,000, the On- tario Legislature heard in tU<. bud- get address ot Premier Hepburn. The figure was lower than 1937 because of a drop In the price of base metals. Total value of all mine produc- tion in Canada i . 193S approximat- ed $455,000,000, ot which Ontario produced ?221.000,000. Gold pro- duction in Ontario was J101,900,- 000, a gain of 12.6 per cent, and almost 60 per cent, of Canada's gold production. Considerable progress was re- ported In the cons' 'Ion of the plant at the Helen Iron ore mine in the Michipicoten district aud it was anticipated this plant would be produclntr iron ore suitable for furnace treatme . at the rate of 300,000 tons a yjar. Approximately 34,000 men were employed la mines In the past year, "all drawing good wages." The thoughtless motorist who sendrf his car sneediug right up to the railway crossing probably is more responsible for the nervous condition of many railway engin- eers than is all the shaking and hard usage the engineer gets in his regular duties of handling thou- sands of tons ot live steel. Canadian Pacific Railway Engin- eer Harry Vines, of Goderich, told a Stratford Beacon-Herald r. . 3rt- er last week that he would like to take some of those motorists with him for a week on daily runs. "Can't Stop Quickly" "It would make their hair stand on end and their hearts stop beat- ing and that would probably b* enough punishment. At least the car driver would remember the helpless engineer in his cab who can't s'op his train as quickly as they can stop their cars." "It's an awful experience," he said. "You never know when they are going to stop and when they're not. I've seen some of them just racing the train to the crossing and get over by a thin margin. Others haven't been able to make it and that's the part that hurts." On Getting Along With Other People And With Oneself â€" Essentials For Successful Living To be abl.> to face tne dally re- quirements jt life with equanimity and a confidence that one is equal to the challenge of the day, or at least capable of accepting '-'oat philosophically.

To seek advancement, but with- out feverish grasping tor more wealth, power, fame or success than one has capacity to win or to use.

WONDERLAND OF OZ O NTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER ONTARIO MORE ACTIVE IN HUNTING AND FISHING Il's great sport to go a-ftsh- ing and pleasant rc'.a.xation to turn from our labours to rod and gun whenever the oppor- tunity presents itself. Onta- rio's citizens seem to realize this simple truth more than any other group of Canadians be- cause this province is listed as one of the most aciive in hunt- ing and fishing spcits in Can- ada. Indications of this fact were given recently (March '29) by Ontario's Minister of Game and Fisheries, the Hon. Harry C. N'ixon, when he told the mem- bers of the Ontario Legisla- ture'.'? Fish and Game Commit- tee that interest in the province in hunting and fishing was in- creasing by leaps and bounds each year, particularly among women. Mr. .N'ixon also told the or- ganization meeting, at which W. L. Miller, Liberal member for -Algoma-Manitoulin, was el- ected chairman of this year's Committee, that a record was reached, in 1933 in the distri- bution af game birds in Ontar- io by h^ Department. Twenty thousand mature birds were dis- tributed last year and about 30,000 would be handled in 1939 most of which would be pheasants. Not Public Property Sportsmen should never for- get that while game is public property, the land upon which it is found is. in most cases, privately owned. Therefore, there must be co-operation and goodwill between hunter and landowner, or posted lands will result and hunting become greatly restricted. Restricted hunting and a large measure of control through the issuing of a limited number of special licenses for each regulated area have had the effect of eliminating a great deal of illegal taking and de- structive practices and have al- so resulted in creating a defin- itely better feeling between farmer and hunter.
