Mr. Eynon spoke of the value of competitive swimming, which not 1 only creates better swimmers, but leads to physical fitness and well. being. as well as affording tee. mt'ndous enjoyment to the partici- pants. He suggested that the swimmers should he classified into age groups and that inter -community swim.. ming meets could be arranged. He said there is every possibility that Ontario and Olympic level swim.. mers could he discovered and do. veloped in a community the size of Wingham. His talk was followed by a ques.. Lion and answer period before the appreciation of the gathering was expo ss".l by Marilyn Riley, a year or less. Beef Cattle King lie used very few statistics in his talk, but he did refer to the fact that in four years between 19 14 and 1957 the national yearly aver- age Incense from wheat areloanlrrl to $440 millions and that by roe. incidence the average to; beat cattle and dairy products had each amounted to almost the •,itme fig- ure, In the years 1958 to 19431 Lite yearly average income from wheat rose by $92 millions; dairy prod.tr:s by $75 millions. However, he ten, phasized the fact that beef cattle income had risen by an average of $145 millions a year, proving that beef cattle are the major source of income for Canadian farmers, i Last year, said Mr, Hamilton, when there was a grave problems for Western farmers because of drought conditions, he had plea'i.ed with them not to sell of ,tlurlr her,is, in the belief that the cost of an. porting feed to their own areee would be more than compensuterl ' for by rising prices for cattle. iiia prediction had proven to he In t and the Westerns, most of wheel did hold out, were saved from the loss of their herds. In sdditire:'t, Eastern farmers were saved the consequences of further price de- pression which would have been created by a flood of cattle on the market, Great Future The speaker stated his firm 'le - iter ra_ltef that there is a good future for Canadian farmers, because of the increase presently' taking place in North Amer ina a growth which is faster than the increase in acreage available for feeding Iivestock. The most important aspect of the entire address was the outlining of a six -point program whit he called "The New Agricultural Poi. Icy The first point in the program. which is proposed by the Progres- sive Conservative party is it nt'W feed grain policy which would pro- mote the production of more feed grain in both eastern and western Canada. Secondly, the introduction of a nation-wide plan for commtnnite pastures, whereby the less produ"- tive lands could be utilized for summer pasture by farmers free an entire district in common, etas leaving their own more fertile home acres for the production of feed grains for winter use, '1'itl program would permit the raising of larger herds. The third point was the establish- ment of feed grain and fodfier banks, in which livestock fends could be stored from year to year, thus providing it backlog for plan in which natural production fell below normal and thereby fr,ee.. stalling the high price perio 's which are so costly to the farmers and the rest of the nation. Point number four was the t+., tablishment of a water conserva- tion program in those ar.'as where it is needed, so that ma+.imrtm use can be made of surface wni e before it has run off into the Teener streams and lakes.
