Ontarians are the kind of people who wouldn't be here if there was any place better. We are people who came froma hundred lands and stayed to build. People with backbone and brawn and a hunger to succeed. Men and women who've created a stan- dard. of living in decades that other lands worked centuries to build. If we have a flaw it's our chronic modesty. Ontarians may be proud to. be Ontarians and Canadians . . . they just seldom tell anyone. From an economic point of view that's wrong. The more people we have boosting Ontario and Canada the better it is. And we've got a lot to boost with. At a time when the dollar is having many demands made on it, Ontarians can note that provincial taxes have held the line in 1970. And we had a surplus to boot. Yet, needed programs have not been' neglected. The Ontario Housing Corporation for example, has housed 120,000 people to date and 'currently has almost a billion dollars worth of programs active in nearly 200 Ontario Communities. We need a vigorous economy of course, to support these important programs. And, that's where.you come in. Though our prOductivity has doubled in ten years and our incomes in twelve, Ontarians don't sit on their successes. There's a demanding decade ahead full of challenges and opportunities to make the quality of our lives better yet. To meet these challenges we've got to believe in ourselves. Which, when you think about it, isn't such a bad idea. Everytime you boost Ontario . Government of Ontario Ontario and Canada get a little stronger. John Robarts, Prime Minister.

There's a time-proven ex planation, What's tho first thing you think about after you've slid be, bind the wheel, and buckle your seat belt?
