FIFTY YEARS AGO
'VegitiMPWRWRORFFOr T 1/"'94' "W"40./F
• A.7..
Each year as frontier Days roll
around, we hear a few of the custom-
arily disgruntled type' say, "Why
don't they think of something new?"
"People are sick of the same thing
every year,"
Each year, however, the response
of the general public gives the lie to
these pessimists, for quite apparent-
ly Frontier Days still offer a wel-
come change from, the ordinary, run-
of-the-mill entertainment. In any
case the crowds which turned out on ,
Friday and Saturday evenings and
.,fax ..the •Saturday.afternoon did not
indicate that the Wild West cele- ,
bration is in any way washed up.
Perhaps one of the most impor-
tant reasons for the continued in-
terest ,in this celebration the fact
that the Lions Club, which -sponsors
the event doesn't try to make a
"killing". In fact, some of the best
of the shows are staged at a danger-
ously low. margin, as -witness the
fact that the Friday night show,
which was attended by•,a very good
crowd of nearly 1,200, provided only
enough revenue to meet expenses.
, This is not just a case of poor
management. It is the result of the
Lions' decision, several. years ago,
to provide some real, worthwhile
talent for the admission price.
We have heard a few Lions com-
ment, at two o'clock on a Frontier
pays morning, that it would be
a lot easier to kick in $10 or
.ECONOMICAL SERVANT
On -Monday afternoon of :last
week, when the hydro service was
interrupted for about 45. minutes,
we had time to reflect briefly' on\ the
•
way in which our economy has be-
come coupled with the. development
and continuance of the supply of
electric power in the Province of On-
tario.. During that brief three-
quarters of an.hour activity all over
this Western Ontario area -was
brotight to a standstill. Not a wheel
was turning: had it been during.the
-Winter months about half of the
furnaces .would have -Ceased, to oP-
&ate; refrigeration..fstopped.- . 'We
even reflected that, there, are-many
business buildings, including our
-own, which are so badly 'supplied
with windows that ,the there laCk -6f
electric light had halted, all activity.
• You "have' 'heard
plaints ',about -the cost h'Ydro ser-
vice. And it could well be that the
complaints are justified if our rates
in this part of 'Ontario are badly
out of line with those in other placeS,
But the truth of the iti9tter is that
hydro-electric power brie of the
• very• cheapest cOmmoditieS. we put-
Chase.. A cost of little More than.
one d011ar a day provides our plant
with the motivation for heat,,. the ,
power for all inachinery and the
light by which' we work. We cer-
tail-11y hope - that the P.U.C. doesn't
accept these words as an open in-
vitation to check the meter.
Inexpensive electric power is one
of the great natural assets we have
in Ontario. It has, more than any
other factor, led to the trarisforina-
tion of this 'province from an agri,
cultural to an industrial economy.
If plans for a nuclear power station
in the county of 'Bruce materialize
we may logically look forward to an'
equalization of rates with the Ni-
agara-Toronto area, so that our part.
,'Of the province will be on an equal
footing when the development of
new industry is under consideration.

GREATER GROWTH
PREDICTED'
Freedom from inflation and ac-
celerated national expansion during
the 60's was predicted recently by
Thomas G. McCormack, President of
Dominion Stores Limited. In an
'address to Directors of the Canadian
National Exhibition, •he pointed out
that food prices.have already achiev-
ed long-term stability and may even
be in for a few years of decline.
Mr. McCormack's statement was
part. of a forecast of boom years in
what he called the Soaring Sixties."
Increase in birth rate, the coming of
age 'of the war-time and post-war
babies, coupled with declining Mor-
tality will , make for the greatest-
natural increase in population in
Canada's history. In addition, he
said he hoped that Canada will ab-
Sorb a' high level of immigration
since the contribution of immigrants
to 'the national productivity is, truly
outstanding.
There is still large scope for in-
crease in the Canadian standard of
living and as it climbs 'to match that
of the U.S., food sales will, naturally
climb with it. "In the only available
study- on the subject figures show
that Canadian level per capita food
consumption was, a few years ago,
only 61.3. percent of that of the
U.S.,"'Mr. McCormack said, adding:
"That . we are gaining on our neigh-
bour; in certain respects can- be seen
from ,the fact that Our population
over the• past five years increased at
an average annual rate of 2.7 per-
cent, compared to 1.7 percent for the
our•grOss national product
3.,5 'percent compared to 2.1 percent." . •
Pointing out that' the C.N.E: is a
ireat'unifying force in the Canadian
way of life, and the showcase of a
clearly .and patently attainable ,goal
of: rising living standards
'
Mr. Mc-
(orniack believed that theforthcom-
ing Stewart Report would show that
Canada has a highly efficientsistern
of.f,O`Od production and distribution.
"In fact if all the unique problems.
• of the Canadian economy are taken
into consideration, it is the most
efficient in the world," Mr. McCor-
mack states. "As 'a result of this
efficiency the average Canadian
worker can buy more and better
food for an hour's take-home pay
than ever before in history."
"In many ways conditions are
more favourable for continued and
accelerated expansion than they
were ten years ago," Mr. McCor-
mack' pointed out. "I believe we are
entering a period of relative freedom
from inflation, It would seem that.
we are now at a point where the
classic financial controls at least
have a chance to work." In a tribute
to' Agriculture, lie said that a great
deal of the credit for stable food
prices was due to the amazing in-
crease in the productivity of agri-
culture. The primary producer; by
emprbying more and more Mechaniz-
ation has increased output per acre
and per animal, and has realized
that greater volume at lower 'net
profit can result in More dollars.
"As a result we are seeing the grad-
ual development of the super-farm
a huge, highly mechanized, highly
productive agricultural unit, earning
more net profit despite comparativ-
., ly low prices"
