CLUB'FORMED AT PALMERSTON The organizational meeting of the Palmerston 4-H Calf Club elected the following: President, Ken McEachern; vice-president, Ken Lawless; secre­ tary-treasurer, Shirley Ann Lawless; press reporters, Shirley Groshaw and Shirley Ann Lawless, RjEPORT from < PARLIAMENT HILL By W, Marvin Howe, M. P. Wellington-Huron One of the recent resolutions of more than local ‘interest was that dealing with grade crossings, Hereto­ fore Parliament has voted one million dollars a year for the erection of wig­ wag signals at grade crossings, pr ip & few cases, for the elimination of crossings themselves, This has been increased to five million dollars a year and the percentage of contribut­ ion raised from 40 to 60%. The report of the Board of Transport Commis­ sioners on this problem made various suggestions which were received by the Board and which appeared to have the greatest merit and warrant­ ed further investigation. Number 5 of these suggestions indicated that cros­ sings particularly dangerous by reason of poor visibility or for other reasons should have highway stop signs. I feel that the speed at which High­ way traffic is travelling today the motorist will approach this type of crossing so fast that in many cases he will not have time to stop, Even present provincial laws which indicate that the speed limit is 20 miles over GROWS PULLETS ECONOMICALLY Whether your replacement pullets will be grown on range or in confinement, SHUR-GAIN Super Grow­ ing Mash will bring them along to the egg producing stage quickly—and at les/ cost. Birds on high-efficie!ncy SHUR-GAIN Super Grow­ ing Mash make this fast, profitable growth on 10 to 15% less total feed. That’s because every pound of Super Growing Mash contains more of the elements birds need to grow on—proteins, vitamins, minerals and food energy. This year — grow your birds out faster, and at lower cost — with SHUR-GAIN. with your homework, Dad?” railway crossings are quite inade­ quate, I can remember spme years ago discussing this question with a man in my own home town, One remark which he made still stands out in my memory, that the only sure way not to have an accident at a railway crossing is to have it firmly implanted in one’s mind that it is always train time. I had the pleasure of speaking on this question in the House. I would like to quote my conclusion in this matter. “I would suggest that consid­ eration .be given on the part of the railways that stop signs should be erected at all railway crossings not protected by mechanical devices and that laws should be passed making possible the imposition of an adequate fine as penalty for non-observance and ignoring of these stop signs. I realize that this is entering the dan­ gerous field of Provinical-Doxninion relations but surely if there is any merit whatever in this suggestion, these difficulties can be overcome when the lives of so many of our citi­ zens are at stake.” Unfortunately at the time of pre­ paring and making this speech, the budget has not come down and we have no definite information on it. We . all know just what we would like to happen—that personal taxes would be reduced, that sales and excise taxes would be removed and so on. This is only wishful thinking however, in view of the fact that we have a deficit this year of $148,251,000, and our expendi­ tures are very little less. We the tax payers can expect little or no relief from our great taxation burden. Bud­ get night is always an exciting one around the House of Commons. The galleries are full, the Members of the Press are all in their places and we wait with bated breath because after all the words and Budget of the Mini­ ster of Finance do have a profound affect on the welare of practically all Canadians. The Whigham Advance-Times, Wednesday, April 27,1955 IB*"* CANADA PACKERS LTD- WINGHAM It’s a good thing young Ted is only joking. If his Dad took him up on that offer, Ted would soon find himself floundering in a sea of facts about family income management, succession duties, taxes, wills, trusts, business insurance-and other related subjects! You see, Ted’s father is a typical life underwriter — a man who has not only been trained for his job, but keeps up-to- date by constant study. For the uses of life insurance are more extensive today than they used to be. And the men who represent companies in this 'business now advise^1 you with increased skill. Doing this calls for more than study. It takes real under­ standing of people’s needs. And since each family’s needs are different, the company representative offers valuable guidance in making plans to fit these needs — individually. All in all, the life insurance man you deal with today is a very good man to know. And his progress is another reflection of the many tuays in which the life insurance business has developed with the times to meet your changing needs!
