David Jackson, a nominee for
council, said: "Having served
several years on the school board
i feel able to qualify for council
and would appreciate your sup-
port."
William Sturdevant thanked his
supporters and said he would
make his decision known the fol-

"We have a tough proposition

Wally Des,Jardin. "We did the
best job we could in keeping
costs down and although the
school expenses are high, it was
unavoidable."
"I was the new member of
PUC last year," said Earl
Thompson, "and naturally, I had
to feel my way. I think it hat
been a big year with lots of ifn-
provements and no deficit. I will
make my decision about qualify-
ing temomw."
William Love reported for the
PUC and said that during the
year a survey had been made of
all transformers. Power outlets
were installed at the new river
dock, and five new transformers
were installed. "Our hydro sys-
tem in Grand Bend is growing,"
said Mr. Love. "In 1954 there
were 687 accounts, and in 1958
there are 808. Thirty-six of these
new accounts are commercial."
Cam Chapman, nominated. for
PUC, said that if there was an
election he would qualify for this
post. "I. have had considerable
experience with the hydro elec-
tric commission, and was located
in Toronto with hydro for many
years. We buy power on a
horsepower basis," he said. "The
hydro's peak load it in December
and their equipment is geared to
handle this peak. However, in
Grand Bend, the peak is in July
or August when the system hits
its lowest point and has surplus
power. I would like to try to ne-
gotiate a contract with the com•
mission Whereby our rates could
be lowered for this reason."
William Randle nominated for
PUC said he would make his
decision Tuesday.

and the increased facilities being
provided for historic relics there.
As a member of the warden's

hair's breadth."
Councillor Ralph 33ailey, chair-
man of roads and police commit-
tees, reported one-third of a mile
of roads were hard -surfaced dur-
ing the past year, and all other
streets oiled without exceeding
the budget. Work on several
large stretches of sidewalks had
delayed other repair work in this
line which had been planned.
He outlined the developments
which led to the. establishment of
a new police force and stated
that one more patrolman was
necessary for the department
which would be re-e'stablished on
December 1, under Chief C. H.
McKenzie.

W. F. B. MacLaren gave a re-

school boards, "There is always
a financial problem where
schools are involved and there
always will be," he said. Enrol-
ments are going up constantly
and thus expenses must rise,
too." Mr, MacLaren praised the
excellent teaching staff of the
G.B. school and in particular
Mr. David Stanton, the capable
principal.

and announced his intention to

a report on school activities, but
he thought "the school speaks

Andrew Johnston, who replaced

Reep Huge
Corn Crop
Italian immigrants in the Fin-
ery area have completed what
is said to be the largest harvest
of corn in Ontario.
The immigrants, who arrived
in Canada' after the Second
World War, have taken more
than 80,000 bushels from 3,100
acres of commercial and hybrid
seed corn. The group, the New
Venice Corporation, has ex-
panded its original 1,150 acres
to 2,550 acres. General Manager
Francis Molinari says the goal
is a block of 4,500 acres.
"That will be efficient farm-
ing on a large scale — that is
what we believe is the farm of
the future."
The group also bat -vested
more than 3,000 tons of sugar
beets, 24,000 bushels of wheat
and 8.000 bushels of soybeans.
Despite its size, the farm it
worked. by only six fun -tine
men and a mechanic. Up 'to 60
persons -are hired for seasonal
work. The mechanic has a Cully -
equipped workshop, needed be-
cause of the degree of mechani-
zation.'

SD Week
Safe -Driving Week, a national
campaign to impress the motor-
ist and pedestrian with his re-
sponsibility, as an individual, in
preventing traffic accident's, will
be s.pensored nationally by the
Canadian Highway Safety Con-
ference this year from Decem-
ber first to seventh, inclusive.
Safe -Driving Week has been
given the support of the Gover-
nor General and the Prime
Minister. Participating will be
the premiers of all the provinces,
safety organizations, p•o lice
forces, the judiciary, public ser-
vice groups, women's organiza-
tions and many others.
George. B. Kenney, chairman
of the Canadian Highway Safety ,
Conference, has called on every
motorist and pedestrian to co-
operate. "Make an honest ef-
fort," he asked them, "to get
through Safe -Driving 'Week with-
out a single traffic accident. If
you can do it for a week, you
can do it for a year. We appeal
to every driver and every walk-
er to make Safe -Driving Week
1958 an outstanding success,"
Mr. Kenney referred to a re-
cent forecast of 3,400 traffic
deaths in Canada in 1958 and
added, "More than 90 per cent
of those deaths could be prevent-
ed if the individual driver and
walker realized his responsibil-
ity, as an individual, in driving
and walking safely."
