Estimates To Be Taken By Easier Stages

The traditional all-night. aittlng on the Estimates will be abolished this year, and more time for study and discussion of this important buslneaa will be provided, Premier Jonee announced in the Legislature yesterday.

The Premier said he expected the Home would prorogue within the next three weeks. The Draft Address debate would probably finish this week and it might be pourlble to get the Budget debate started next. week, Most legislation could be cleaned up next week. leaving more time for dllcusaion in committee on the Estimates.

“We expect to spend a couple of days on them." the Premier said.

Customs y procedure in the past has been to start the Estimates in the evening preceding the pro- rogation, and continue on until three or four o'clock in the follow- ing morning.

It was an exhausting procedure, and has frequently been criticised by membe . on both side: of the House.

It has been rightly termed the “bedrock" of so- ciety and as such should prove to bé the ideal training ground for leadership. It is in childhood that lasting impressions are made in moulding character for good or evil. .

“On the parents rests the re- aponslblity to develop all the but traits of character by eliminating au dange to the home life; the lowering of ideals through certain radio programs, lurid mageatnea. objectionable and pagan in lub- jcct and presentation. all of which tend to materialism."

stressing the need of miristian leadership in the pttaent world crisll. the speaker outlined the various uaentiela which are neces- eary to aucoela. "The wor ”, the said. "haa known great leaders, whoh characteristics were — cour- eu. aeif-confidence. tborouehnau. perseverance and the necessary in- ltlation.
