HURON -BRUCE The rising cost of education this year is not expected to out- pace last year's rate of increase, despite the introduction of the county school system, Educa-g.. tion Minister William Davis said In the Legislature while speaking during the final House consideration of his S1 billion department estimates. Opposition critics said pub- lic concern over education costs had reached the point where the Government must establish priorities and can no longer ex- pect a virtually free hand in ed- ucational spending.

The ex- penditure for education in 1969 in Ontario, including munici- pal as well as provincial. will be S2.4 billion. The Agriculture Standing Committee this week approved a bill restricting the powers of the Ontario Humane Society. Attorney General Arthur Wis- hart told the Committee that the bill would eliminate a situ- ation in which the Society has greater powers than the police and will ensure that Society of- ficials conform to the proced - ures necessary to protect human rights. Agriculture Minister .William Stewart accused the Society of many abuses of its authority, under which Society inspectors can enter private property with- out warrant, seize animals, and remove them to be cared for elsewhere, and bill the owner for the costs. Mr. Stewart said the. amendments will provide a reasonable and common sense approach, so that animals can be protected against cruelty without abuse of their owners' rights.. Ontario will collect about S5 million more a year in rev- enue as a result of legislation introduced to require life insur- ance companies to pay income tax. Up to now life insurance companies have been paying a very small amount of income tax based on the amount of money transferred to an account • from which dividends are paid to shareholders, according to Revenue Minister John White.

On the way to this ranch . we drove through very flat country, most- ly in grass. -Some of it is fen- ced with various materials bnt mostly barbed wire. The ranch consists of 14,000 acres carry- ing 5,00G milk cows and alto- gether about 16,000 cattle: The cows are run in units of 70 each and handled by an in- dividnal.family. Average pro- duction is: only 4400 lbs. per cow. Price at the farm is 14 pesos a litre-- retail price 35, pesos.. Milk is cheaper than coke. "They showed us their calf feeding layout where they feed about 3,000 a year. They are fed in individual bowls --1 lb. to start, increased to 10 lbs. , They claim it takes 6,000 kilos of milk to finish a calf. The bull barn had a battery of 14 Holstein bulls, huge fel- lows. As I'm not a Holstein breeder I don't stick around for the discussions. They did say they planted about 800 acres of sorghum and 200 acres of corn. We drove back to the main ranch house for a barbecue din- ner. First we were presented • with a whole armful of food presents, cheese, yogurt,sweet milk and 2 or 3 small packages of martolin made from milk and sugar boiled for 4 hours. It's real sweet, 'For dinner at picnic tables in a tree shaded park we were served red wine (not very good), soda water and mineral water; a meat pie with buns, finger- tips and bread chips; yogurt with spice sauce. Then thebar- be:cucd meats, beef, sausage, kidney and ham. Buenos Aires Nov, 28 Just came back from dinner at La Cabana Restaurant, an enjoyable evening. Had dinner with the Smiths and McGills. They are good company. We had conserves, white wine, then several kinds of (neat with buns and butter. Then salad and steaks well done and good. The steaks here are tender. They kill them at night and deliver them to the restaurants the same day. We had red wine, i c e cream, cake and coffee. We went from the Cloridcya to Ca- bana by taxi and home again the same way. The fare for five was about 500. We leave for the airport about 7 a.m. I let my watch fall at noon and put it out of ,business a This afternoon EI n a ,- iu wnt' e thmeto a store where tight r 9 =4 -vetch a for $38, a self winner and I hope it ,mss the bill. We got up early this morning to go to the stock yards to see them selling cattle. The auc- tioneer walks along a eat walk above the, pensand the buyers ride the alleys on horseback. They do the selling and buying. from there. When they are sold an attendant climbs on the fence and, marks the cattle with the • mark or insignia of the buyer with colored paint. One bunch sola for 8e, bought by a Jew who has a ranch near B, A. He came over to greet us. They had 1700 cattle for sale about half coming by train, the rest by truck. Good or choice brought 10¢. The top at 100 were a load of Herefords weighing 960 lbs. We also went to the pig section. They sold for around 200 live weight. This afternoon we went for a boat ride on a tributary of the Platti, awfully dirty but was lined with beautiful summer homes. Prices are scandalous for most things. Except for watch am buying nothing. Temperature is good. No coat or sweater yet. Wish I had left them in Toronto. One member phoned home and said the temperature was around 50 degrees in Ontario.
