The clerk read a letter from
Hon. C. S. MacNaughton,
minister of highways, announc-
ing that county engineer James
Britnell had been appointed to
the advisory committee of the
County Engineers' Association.
All five members of the
county roads committee, with
the warden and engineer, are
delegated to attend the On-
tario Good Roads Association
convention. Reeve Alvin
Smith of Turnberry, chairman
of the warden's and personnel
committee which made the
recommendation, said it was
unanimous, and he hoped it
would not start "a rush of re-
quests for further amendments"
Ito the regulations.
"There were rumors yester-
day," Mr. Smith said, "that
the idea of not joining the Can-
adian Good Roads Association
had some bearing. I do not
know whether or not they are
tied in any way, but last year
a resolution about joining the
Canadian Good Roads was de-
feated, and I do not think the
members have changed their
minds."
Later, by adopting the finan-
cial and executive committee
report, council concurred in
:not joining the Canadian Asso-
ociation.

Presenting the report of the
finance committee, to county
council, deputy reeve Mrs. May
Mooney, Goderich, said it was
the aim to hold the mill rate
down to that of last year (8 for

There will be a surplus, the
clerk -treasurer said, sale of the
county farm having brought
$33, 692, and this will be used
to hold the mill rate. "Eventu-
ally," he said, " We are going
to run out of things to sell, and
will worry about that when we
come to it, but our finances
for this year look good."
Surplus on roads account is
$14, 000, general 830, 000.
Grants made included $1,500
to the Salvation Army, pay-
able to London headquarters;
$25 to the Ontario Association
of Rural Municipalities; $2,000
to the Canadian National Insti-
tute for the Blind; St. John

Police Dept. Was Busy
The annual report of the
i','i_ngham police department,
.presented to town council at
its inaugural meeting last week
!makes interesting reading for
those who belie -..e Wingham is
a quiet little place where noth-
ing ever happens.

the issuing of 91 summonses;
two search warrants and 11 war-
rants
arrants for arrest in 1':2.

fie accidents; 4 persons injured
in traffic accidents; 40 charges
laid under the Highway Traffic
Act, with 36 convictions.

der the criminal code with 20

fines.
Offences under the Liquor
Control Act totalled 19 and a
similar number of charges were
laid with 17 convictions and
the remaining 2 still to be
prosecuted. Fines under this
act totalled $360.00.
There were two juvenile

Fifteen persons were arrested

The police report concluded
with the recommendation that
the services of one more full-
time police officer be consider-
ed by council so that the town
could have 24 hour daily pro-
tection. It was stated that such
an addition would cut down on
the hours of duty by present of-
ficers and permit each to have
at least one week -end a month
off duty.
A further recommendation
was that the clothing allowance
be increased from the present
$150 to $200.
Second Stage
Construction
At Palmerston
Tenders for the second stage
of construction of the new men-
tal hospital at Palmerston, esti-
mated at $3,500,000, have
been called by Non. Ray Con-
nell, Ontario Publis Works
Minister.
Mr. Connel said this second
stage will consist of six pavil-
ions, a laundry, service wing,
administration section and in-
firmary building with connect-
ing tunnels and corridors. The
first stage consisting of the
power, trades and garage build-
ings was started in May 1962
and is in a well advanced stage,
he said.
"The new Ontario Hospital
at Palmerston is being establish-
ed to provide care for those
mentally retarded, resident in
Western Ontario, " J. Fred Ed-
wards, M. P. P. for Perth, said.
"It is to be equipped to provide
care, training and rehabilita-
tion for those who require ad-
mission to such an institution.
"It is expected that male and
female patients will be admit-
ted to this hospital. Accommo-
dation is mainly for ambulatory
cases but some provision is
being made for patients requir-
ing bed care."
The Works Minister said the
initial bed capacity will be 340
but that provision had been
made in the plans for ready fu-
ture expansion.

Minister Denies Industry Is
Taking Over the Family Farm
By Elmer Ireland
Recently it was my pleasure
to accept an invitation to at-
tend the annual meeting of
Middlesex County Federation of
Agriculture. The meeting be-
gan with a complimentary din-
ner to over 200 Federation of-
ficials and supporters.
The president, Norman Ruth,
stated that the greatest dilem-
ma facing Ontario farmers to-
day is the dairy problem and
that the Federation would of-
fer what help it could to the
various dairy groups, to clear
up present misunderstandings.
The guest speaker was the
minister of agriculture, the
Hon. Wm. Stewart, who was
one-time president of the
Middlesex F.O.A. He said
one of the greatest accomplish-
ments of the Federation is the
better understanding between
government and rural people.
Only a few years ago govern-
ments did not recognize the
Federation as they do today.
The minister said that mar-
keting plans are an asset to
family farms and help to stabil-
ize and strengthen them. He
denied that family farms are
being taken over by industry
and said that the greatest per-
centage of agricultural produc-
tion is from family farms. PRIME MINISTER
It is the responsibility of the WROTE NOVELS
Federation of Agriculture to Benjamin Disraeli, Queen
guide, as far as possible, corn- Victoria's favourite prime
modity groups toward mutual minister in 19th century Eng..
understanding. "The rugged land, wrote three novels about
individualism with which we the social problems of his time.
prided ourselves in the past is "Coningsby" dealt with the
an expensive luxury under to- enmity between the aristocracy
day's economy." In order to and the manufacturer; "Sybil"
achieve a better understanding portrayed the gulf between rich
between the various commodity and poor and "Taneted" was a
groups and general public Mr, plea for the Jewish people.
Stewart said a producer, pro-
cessor and consumer food coun-
cil will be set up in the next
few months.
A bill to provide govern-
ment financial aid for the est-
ablishment of corporate farms
will be introduced in the On-
tario Legislature when it con-
venes. Loans would be provi-
ded for young farmers to help
in setting up economic units of
family farms under family
ownership.
Mr. Stewart reviewed two
agricultural acts that he pre-
sented before the Legislature
and which were given Royal
Assent. Meat Inspection Bill
to ensure close scrutiny of meat
for human consumption, and
the Agriculture Rehabilitation
and Development Act, under
which farmers will receive aid
to develop areas that do not
blend to modern agriculture
and modern machinery, to com-
munity pastures for the raising
of more beef feeder cattle. He
said there were many thou-
sands of acres of land in On-
tario that could be used for
that purpose. He also stated
that community pastures owned
ay the government in the Mari-
times have proven successful.
