" Coming from the beautiful Stone Town of St. Marys on the Thames, I indeed represent a modem Gar- dan of Eden,—Southwestern Ontar­ io-—an outstanding part of what we like to believe is the Premier province of the Dominion. A Wonderland Canada’s story-teller, Gordon clair, might easily find material here for marvelous yarns about the manufacturing and agricultural pro­ duction of this Southwestern Ontar­ io, one of the most fruitful on the map Do you stretch of square and —produces tire dairy products of the Dominion of Canada? In the production of horses, cat- , all live stock, Southwestern Ontario is truly outstanding, Believe it ox’ not;, ninety-eight cent of all the salt produced Canada, comes from Southwes­ tern Ontario. Do you like big figures? The value of our factory output in this special area is over COO millioxx dollars a, year. Apply every test and you will find that Southwestern 'Ontario is a great place in which to work, to live, or to establish any sound en­ terprise*.

That desirable haven is found in such towns as the beauti­ ful Stone Town of St. Marys on-the- oneThames and a hundred and other small centres, DecentrallzatioH Called toy The decentralisation of industry after the war, if it can be effected op a substantial scale, should open up an opportunity for thousands of working men to find better home- and’work-surroundings in Western Ontario, We commend Premier George Drew for his proposal to press for the decentralisation ot Industry. And we trust that the opening of Ontario House in Ola ■London will result in the starting of branch plants in Ontario rural centres and thus strengthen our rural communities. We hope that the Federal Government and large employers of labor will strongly support this much-to-be-desired movement. More decentralization will mean improving the national standard of living. I believe that if factory work­ ers are given a greater opportun­ ity for employment in the small towns, they will take root there and flourish. As a matter of fact we have now the fifth and sixth generations of families living on and operating farms in this part of the province. Such well-anchored and well- rooted folk give substance to their communities of Canada.

LAMPORT MEETS DEATH IN STREET ACCIDENT John Lewis Lamport, a well- known resident of Melita and the south west district, was fatally in­ jured at a late hour Monday after­ noon and failed to regain conscious­ ness after the swift tragedy which cost him his life. The accident occurred near the drug store when a team of horses owned by Wm. McCallum and hitch­ ed to a light dray, succeeded in get­ ting one of the reins under the neck- yoke. The team ordinarily quiet and used to the noises of the street, became restive when the reins tighened and while some of the spectators climbed on the dray and endeavoured to unwind the • reins from the dray front, Mr. Lamport attempted to unsnap the lines at the bit and relieve the tension on the horses mouth, Finding this im­ possible a bridle was removed and one of the horses taking advantage of this relief made a ‘ plunge that knocked the victim to the pavement and two wheels of the dray passed over his body. Dr. F. C. Wilson was called and upon his arrival Mr. Lamport wag removed on a stretcher to Barker’s store where an examination revealed that life was extinct. Shock and in­ ternal injuries contributed to his death which must have taken place shortly after the accident. The tra­ gedy occurred about 5.30 p.m. when Mr. McCallum coming from deliver­ ing coal, was making a purchase at the Barker store. The regrettable occurrence transpired very quickly but a subsequent investigation by the authorities resulted in the opin­ ion that it was entirely accidental and no blame was attached to any one. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon at 2.30' from Victoria United Church.—Reprinted from the New Era, Melita, Man.
