Richard Robinson, Goshen Line, celebrated his 90th birth- day recently at his Stanley Township home. Another interesting item appears in the Citizens News and relates to the GM strike. The heading "GM picketers pick apples" over the following item in- dicates that when out of the big money one will do anything for a small pittance. Anyway, the story goes that "the chappies who won't work for one of the big com- panies for anything less than four or five bucks an hour, including multi benefits, are quite eager to take on an apple-pick- ing job for about $2 an hour when GM work isn't there," commented a local paper. This happened in the Oshawa area. From the Milverton Jun we note that Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Murr celebrated their 50th weddirig anniversary recently, Mr. and Mrs . Clayton E.

In the Goderich Signal-Star we note that the tax payers of Goderich will be asked on December 7th whether or not they would be in favour of a tourist camp site, operated by the municipality, on the South Beach. Lemons have never been a major crop in this area, according to the Exeter Times-Advocate, but with the success' Mrs, Herb Kercher, R.R, 2, Kippen, has had, the produce may have possibilities. Mrs. Kercher picked four large lerncss off her three-foot lemon tree recently and the four weighed in at a total of three pounds 2 ounces.

Ontarians are the kind of people who wouldn't be here if there was any place better. We are people who came from a hundred lands and stayed to build. People with backbone and brawn and a hunger to succeed. Men and women who've created a stan- dard of, living in decades that other lands worked centuries to build. If we have a flaw it's our chronic modesty. Ontarians may be proud to be Ontarians and Canadians . . . they just seldom tell anyone. From an economic point of view that's wrong. The more people we have boosting Ontario and Canada the better it is. And we've got a lot to boost with. At a time when the dollar is having many demands made on it, Ontarians can note that provincial taxes have held the line in 1970. And we had a surplus to boot. Yet, needed programs have not been neglected. The Ontario Housing Corporation for example, has housed 120,000 people to date and currently has almost a billion dollars worth of programs active in nearly 200 Ontario Communities. We need a vigorous economy of course, to support these important programs. And, that's where you come in. Though our productivity has doubled in ten years and our incomes in twelve, Ontarians don't sit on their successes. There's a demanding decade ahead full of challenges and opportunities to make the quality of our lives better yet. To meet these challenges we've got to believe in ourselves. Which, when you think about it, isn't such a bad idea. Everytime you boost Ontario . . . Ontario and Catiada get a little stronger. Government of Ontario 0 John Roberts, Prime Minister.
