Legislative ,h ssembly The Shaw Government brought about some chances in the liquor law, ta th that we have a fairly enlightened liquor system today. I hope that this Government can take a lesson from that and make steps to further enlighten the system in the years ahead. Let us go with it, let us become adult in this particular problem. I think it has lost sight that the Shaw Government had the intestinal fortitude to deal with the pesky problem of Daylight Saving Time, a thing that is BMW taken for granted, and forgotten, but a good thing for the Province as a whole. I think they have forgotten that the Shaw Government brought in the new Civil Service Act . I think they have forgotten that they installed a Civil Service Commission and just as this moment I think I might pause and talk abcttf tfm trig snare they tried to pull on David Stewart . Robert E. Campbell : Oh; No! J. David Stewart : Where did that voice come from? Mr. Speaker , than is a big windstorm starting up again in the south-west corner. (Laughter) ■laij time the Member from First Prince opens his mouth it reminds me of the fellow who was down in the cellar with a pile of marbles around him. (Laughter> But this is rather amusing. This is the letter or the document, or one of them, that Mm Pre¬ mier has been threatening me with ever since he took over office. I am greatly amused. He had the "pipe line" going in reverse. I was getting the meaasMs. Oh boy: I was going to be smeared right off the face of the earth. I had left these terrible letters in the files. I had started to wonder about Gerda___perhaps I had missed out on something. From memory, I couldn't remember any Gerda's around, darn it, and I couldn't figure out what it was. Then in the lsst session of the House, the baby one, the Premier, got up in his statesman-like manner and told tike Leader of the Opposition that he didn't have to worry about the leadership of his party, with everybody looking for it. and as far as one Member was concerned, he was going to take care of him. Well I can tell the Premier very frankly, that anxious as I am to get out of politics, I am not going to be pushed out in tail natter. This is an invitation to stay in. (Applause) I can also assure him that if and when our good Leader decides to step down, may that be a long time yet, when he does there will be lots of candidates for his position, and we too have a kindergarten to draw from. (Applause) But going back to the smear of the letter, going back to the letter, I can just visualize the excitement that was caused when Andy, in delving into the files, came up with the famous letter. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : That is just one thing. J. David Stewart : I know, I know, the pipe line is still working, but Andrew produced it, showed it to the Premier, and the Premier showed it to the Minister of Education. In case anybody else got wind of it, they dashed to the men's room, locked the door, and acted just like two little boys with their first dirty book. This was wonderful, this was great; then they dashed out and any names I ate now, of course, any resemblance to anybody living or dead would be completely co-taeJdantial. They dashed out and sent for Addie and Reg and Sydney; they didn't have to send far, they were down in the purchasing agent's office. They dashed up and they decided, "Oh Boy; have we got the stuff on Stewart; he's through, he's out, here is the famous letter," So now we have it, there it is, the letter that was written to me by the Chairman of Patronage Committee in Charlottetown complaining that Mr. Farmer and myself were not doing what we were told. We wouldn't alar fair; we wouldn't appoint somebody; we wouldn't fire somebody. All the letter was doing was giving me hell for not being patronage minded, not that I see anything wrong with that . So, there it is, I can't stop anybody from writing these letters. The next time, Mr. Premier , you send Andy into the file, see if you can pick up a Gerda for me; it would be much more interesting to me. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : You'll get one on grand XXX. J. David Stewart : Good. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : I think, Mr. Speaker , in this connection I did not mention the Honourable Member 's name when the letter was read. Nor did J intend to produce it until asked to do so.
