lS$ foot tower and dome. The four floors contain 265 rooms, housing many provincial government offices. The longest straight corridor in the world constitutes a striking view, but the center of interest is the marble well, similar is design to the Tomb of Napoleon in Paris, which is covered every year with live flowers for the opening of the Legislature. At least 34 different kinds of marble are used in the interior decoration of the building, by far the most impressive being the huge solid marble columns brought from the Island of Cyprus. Many faces and designs (which were not meant to be) can be traced in the fine green and white veining of the marble, one of interest was Abe Lincoln. The Legislative Library contains 65,000 bound volumes and is supplied with leading newspapers from many parts of the world. Itens in the library’s display include a framed facsimile of the Magna Carta, the breaking of the treaty which led to the first Tworld War, photographs of the first legislature and of the first lady who was elected after women were given the franchise. The Executive Council Chanber, where Cabinet meetings are held, is a replica of a room in the Vatican. It is so exquisitely furnished from silk tapesty to big, soft, and comfortable armchairs, that it is believed to be the most perfectly appointed room in the dominion. In the Excutive chamber we were addressed by the Hononerable v.S. Lloyd, who explained plans for developement and enlargement of the Wascana Center. The students then proceeded to the Hotel Saskatchewan where we were guests of the Wascana Kiwanis Club. Upon our arrival to the Legislature Building we found our reserved seats in the Twest Gallery occupied. However we were given seats behind the Government and observed the ceremonies. The Opposition and the Government arrived escorting their wives; they were followed by the judges; then the Sargeaits at arms arrived with She Mace. The Sargeant at Arms, who is the Speakers body guard is responsible for the conduct of the House. If the mace, which is the symbol of the speaker’s office is on the table then the House is in session. The opening of the Legislature was then announced the Lieutenant-Governor gave his 2,000 word speech from the Throne. The topic of his speech was mostly concerned with agricultural, educational, and industrial developements. After the speech, the Lieutenant-Governor left the Chamber and the mace was placed on the table. Then in a small ceremony Dave Stuart was presented to the House.
