Some 1,500 persons attended
the official opening of the Ontario
Agricultural Museum on Sunday,
August 31, 1975 in Milton by the
Honourable William A. 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.

heritage which continues today.
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
