Dealing with labor matters, the report said the upward trend in wages and living conditions must be continued in the period of conâ€" version to give Canadians the highâ€" est possible living standard. The new wageâ€"control order had circumscribed the rights of labor by placing on labor the onus to prove that existing wages constiâ€" tuted a gross inequality or injusâ€" tice. and that any increase was conâ€" sistent with the ability of the emâ€" ployer to pay. KITCHENER.â€"In the hope he will reconsider his decision, the Kitchener Red Cross Society has left in abevance for one month, the resignation tendered by P. A. Mcâ€" Kie, chairman of the blood doneor service for more than a year. _ President A. J. Cundick told a meeting of the executive commitâ€" tee he understood Mr. McKic‘s reâ€" signation was handed in partly on account of the expression of a "litâ€" tic disappointment" regarding the manner in which funds raised by the Clinic Women‘s Auxiliary had been channelled. "I know of no man who could have filled the bi‘l the way Mr. McKic has done," declared the preâ€" sident, urging the blood donor chairman to reconsider his action. "This would be the most colossal blow that has ever struck the local Rfd- Cross Society and blood donor clinic."

We can work together here" deâ€" clared A. A. Mackeod (Labor Proâ€" gressive, Toronto Bellwoods) leadâ€" ing a party many of whose leaders have in the past operated under the Communist banner. The House also heard the first speech of the session from Miss Agnes Macphail, C.C.F., East York, agricultural critic for her party, who.called for the organization of all the hog producers of the provâ€" ince into a marketing scheme for collective companies and declared as well that "if the Government really wants to do something to reduce the spread as between proâ€" ducer and consumer it will p?acc the packing houses under public ownership." Not only did Mr. MacLeod beâ€" lieve that members of the present Legislature could work together for reform but he saw no reason why business, labor and agriculâ€" ture could not coâ€"operate in the postâ€"war cra to prevent the chaos "which many people seem to exâ€" pect." This was all possible, he said, provided there was a "full partnership _ as _ between _ these three." Run Full Course The Beliwoods member said tnat for his part he would like to see the Legislature run its full course and saw no reason why it should not be ‘"the most progressive Legâ€" islature in the history of the provâ€" ince." 65,000,000 Bushels of Grain To Be Shipped to the States BUFFALO â€"Canada is preparâ€" board, met with American officials ing to send, via the Great Lakes.'ol grain agencic® it a lower lakes} approximately 65,000,000 bushe!s of | grain committee conference. } wheat and coarse grain to thc[ American railroads are sending , United States betweerm the opening 100 box cars a day into Canada and | of navigation and July 1, a Canaâ€" Phbout 12,000.000 bushels of grain dian Wheat Board official declared | have been moved to . the United | teday C.

The sailor couldn‘t see for the heads and hats in front of him, so he said to the man seated beside him:> "Hey, Bud, how would you like to move over?" The other anâ€" swered "Sure", and the two got to their feet to make the shift along the row. In doing so the fickering theatre Chairman Schneider today urged furmers living in the area under consideration to understand that the proposed airport is strictly a postwar project. and that they don‘t have to worry about selling their property this summer, or posâ€" sibly for a year or two. He stressed the amount of work and time which will be required to deterâ€" mine if the site is satisfactory. Afâ€" ter that. negotiations for purchase of the land may be undertaken, but no construction is planned at presâ€" ent. ‘ In the event this cxamination indicates that the site has possibiltâ€" ties, they (the department officials) will urge that a subsequent survey be made and that the cost be borne entirely by the Department of Transport, Mr Breithaupt‘s teleâ€" gram advised. Miss Macphai} said that steps must be taken to prevent the breaking up of the traditional Caâ€" nadian (arm family. ‘"The day when our native population gaes off the farms, that is the day of disaster for the people of this proâ€" vince. To prevent this, steps must be taken to improve marketing facilâ€" itiecs through a marketing act; to make available necessary farm maâ€" chinery on a coâ€"operative or Govâ€" ernmentâ€"sponsored basis; and to establish community centres where the farm people may improve and develop their social and cultural life. The Legislature gave first readâ€" ing to the Sugar Beet Subsidy Act, 1944, under which sugar beet farmâ€" ers will get a subsidy of $1.55 beâ€" tween April 1 this year and March 31. 1945, second reading was given to four other measures * The Thfone Speech debate was adjourned by A. Kelso Roberts (P.C., Toronto St. Patrick) who spoke the following day when the House held its first night sitting of the current session. Mr. MacLeod was frequently apâ€" plauded from both sides of the House during his address of more than an hour. He was critical of those who could see a period of chaos after this war. He could see none but it would take the entire economic effort of the United Nations to reâ€" build a shattered Europe * Implement Promise Like Liberal Leader Harry Nixâ€" on, who psoke Tucsday. the Laborâ€" Progressive member called on Preâ€" mier Drew to tell the House his intentions concerning implementaâ€" tion of an clection promise to take over 50 per cent of the cost of eduâ€" iContinnad on Page 8+ %llght rested a moment on their |faces.
