Tae sudden and Unexpected
death of Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy,
one time Premier of Ontario and
longtime Consetvative minister of
agriculture, cast a deep °shadow
over 'proceedings in the Legislature
during the fourth week of 'this
session, Although old in years, in
experience, and in public service,
Colonel Torn was yaung in , spirit
and was the trusted adviser of
matey in high places and the re-
spected counsellor of ' younger
Legislature members; his .standards
and principles always ' had the,
respeet and admiration of all. He
will be greatly missed not only in
his own conimanity but throughout
our great province;
Night sittings of the House com-
rneneed this week as members join-
ed almost to a man in the throne
speech debate, while government
leaderS.' endeavoured to make pro-
gress with 'necessary legislation.
The committees of the House again
were diligent in their duties and
everyone was kept very buSY. The
annual convention of the Associa-
tion of- Rural Municipalities meet-
ing in Toronto brought here for it
a large number of reeves, and
municipal officials who provided
good audiences in the House, many
delegations for ministers, and days
and nights full of interviews for
their members.
Debate on the natural gas con-
troversy, on the report of the
select committee on Labour and on
the various bills introduced, con-
tinued with much vigour and at
great • length. Announcement was
also made by Prime.Minister Frost
that the budget would be brought
down the following week and
everyone awaits its presentation as
an 'indication of the government's
eteetiOn yeas' policy.

The article states that 'today's

enterprising Purina salesmen 1.6
years ago, while they Are still in
. At that, time they
visited the U.S.A., and saw the feed

through aa. feed salesman's eyes
and came home with a vision, that
if it could work there it could work
here too. •Tbey rolled up their
sleeves and went to work. -
The two' men contacted estab-

profit opportunities of the broiler
industry, 'based On one man looking

TOTAL WAR ON'
LIVESTOCK 'DISEASES
PROVES CHEAPEST
Canada's policy of. stamping out
certain diseases before they can
get a strangle-hold on the country's
livestock industry ,has saved farm-
ers thousands of dollars.
Canadian agriculture runs the
risk of losing valuable export mar-
kets if contagious animal diseases
are allowed to become established,
and federal veterinarians agree it is
cheaper to the producer and the
entire industry to eliminate these
diseases.
Foot-and-mouth disease is a
example of how it pays to .wipe out
certain dreaded diseases. Only
once did this killer get a toe. hold
in. 'Canada, but the results were
costly."
Direct losSes from the foot-and-
mouth outbreak in Saskatchewan
seven years: ago amounted 'to
$1,000,000, Markets to which Ca-
nadian livestock and agriculture
products normally moved were im-
mediately closed, and it was esti-
mated that the drop in potential,
value was $648,278,000.
There are other costs to he con-
sidered, Health of Animals, Can-
ada Department of Agriculture,
estimates a vaccination program
for hog cholera 'would Cost swine.
producers $6,800.000 a year,
This is based on the fact that
in the 'United' States it costs,$1
per hog up to market age to control
cholera, and an the fact'" that
Canada'S swine population is about
6,800,000,
Instead of living with the diseaSe
and depending on vaccination,
Canada halts any outbreak by
slaughtering diseased hogs and
compensating the owners. Over
the past decade, there have been
seven outbreaks in which 2,459 pigs
were vaccinated, Compensation
costs were 06,590.
The worst cholera epidemic since
the turn of the century occurred in
4.946-41, when $204,176 was paid out
in eompensation to farmers.
Coat of completely driving out
this disease, though, is only ' a
shadow of 'what it would be to live
with it..
so again,
The executive expressed the hope
that the Community would co-oper-
ate Se that the carnival Would be
A successful event.

dealer in Zurich fora number of
years, has announced the forma-
lion of a new company, to be knpwn

This business Is the newest line
f customer service ;related to the

While ear leasing has been promin-
ent• in the United States for 15

of 10,000 cars being leased by Can-
adians. 'The most prominent us-
ers of this service' are larger
chains, commercial organizations
and, professional .men, who drive
35,000 miles or more in one yeara„
Under the leasing system the
customer is relieved of all respon-
sibility, such as insurance, licenses.
etc. At the same time he has no,
large amount of money invested
and ,he can' put it, to other -uses, A-
new car, is supplied at regular in-
tervals, without any cash outlay,
and there is •a tremendous income
tax saving.
Many different plans for leasing,
are available, some of which in-
clude no cost to the customer ex-
cept -the gasoline, Experts claim
that by 1970 40 per cent. of all ears
in Canada will be leased.
The manager of Pearson Auto
Leasing is Jack. Turkheirn, Zurich.
He has been busy completing sev-
eral courses on, ear leasing sys-
tems, and shotild be well qualified
for the position.
AS soon. as possible the, new firm
intends to appoint a local garage
in each Community as a service de-
pot for customers in that particu-
lar area,
