Stewart, Minister of Agriculture and Food. Also participating in the opening were the Honourable James Snow, Minister of Government Services and the Honourable George Kerr, Ontario's Solicitor General. In his address, Mr. Stewart reminisced about life on the farm as he knew it as a boy in Denfield, Middlesex County and referred to the new agricultural equipment introduced during his earlier years as a farmer which has had such a dramatic effect on the output of today's modern farmer. Open new Co-op facility United Co-operatives of Ontario, the province's largest farm and urban supply co- operative announces the grand opening and dedication of its new $3.5 million Distribution Centre which took place Wednesday. The Centre is located on a 12- acre site in the Meadowvale development near Highway 401 and the Mississauga Road in- terchange - only six miles west of UCO's cental offices in Mississauga, Ontario. This 150,000 square foot Centre uses an integrated "total systems" approach to ac- commodate up to 10,000 different merchandise items exceeding $5 million in value - equivalent to a five-mile-line of highway tran- sports bumper-to-bumper. An innovative concept in this "total systems" approach is the half-a-million dollar com- puterized stacker crane. This most up-to-date material han- dling system in existence - only 10 similar ones in Canada - requires only one person to operate the control console. The 55-foot-high stacker crane with a capacity of 18,500 square feet, when loaded will contain 3,200 pallets, Fully selective retrieval and storage is at the rate of one pallet load per minute. In peak periods, over half a million dollars of merchandise a week can be moved in or out of the Distribution Centre that serves 80,000 Co-Op members through a network of 180 Co-Op retail stores across this Province.

Mrs. Anne MacArthur, the mayor of Milton, brought greetings from the town council, and recalled her days as a daughter of a farmer, then her role as a teacher and later as the Reeve of Nassagaweya., She felt that the museum site was a good one and that both Milton and the museum could be beneficial to each other. The museum's General Manager, R. W. Carbert, ex- pressed his deep pride in the museum's progress and thanked the many donors and his staff for helping to make the opening such a great success. Modern technology has allowed Ontario farmers to produce nearly one third of Canada's agricultural wealth, said Mr, Stewart, The museum, a project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, is situated on a 92-acre farm which in time will depict the evolution of farming in Ontario from log house days to the present, Six farmsteads are planned for the area, complete with house, barns and out- buildings. Each farm will tell the story of a particular period of time in farming and will demonstrate the farm practices of that period. The aim of the Museum is to show a typical Ontario farming crossroads community. There will be a one- room schoolhouse, a small community church, a blacksmith's shop and a general store. Mr. Snow, Minister of Government Services, remarked, "My Ministry has been actively involved in the design and con- struction of this facility since late 1972, We have worked closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to provide a modern and attractive showplace for the display of tools, implements, and artifacts associated with Ontario's agricultural history." The cost of the Museum thus far is $1,800,000; the site was acquired from the Halton Con- servation Authority in 1966, by the Ontario Government. The museum is a single-storey building, containing some 2,000 square feet of floor space, with two large adjoining wings and a partial mezzanine. The building houses a workshop for the con- struction of exhibits and the restoration of artifacts as well as an implement storage area and administration offices, The Honourable George Kerr also recalled the past in Halton County and the agricultural benefits that his County enjoys. He said that Halton County was a natural place for an agricultural museum because of its farming 77: 1 --John Deere 55, b and 1 of he I l t I f f t f f i l f f i l f t l i f f l i t t l i i t t l i i t t i
