mence in the near future .as a start

bo bone Township. The main
work of building, however, will
not be done until next spring and
*re new school will be ready for
occupancy for the commencement
of the •school term in September,

The new school is to. be located

• Colborne Townsh'i , south • of
Carlow. Four acres of land on ;,the
farm of William Treble have been
purchased by the Colborne. Town-
ship School Area Board for the
sum of $1,200. Theland was pur-
chased on Monday of last week.
The entire board was agreed on
the need for a new school but
there was a difference of •epinion
as 'to where it should be located.
Another .site considered was also
en the Treble farm but closer to
Barlow. It was finally thought
that too' much money would have
tn be spent to level the land on
the second choice site.
Chairman of the Colborne Town-
ship School ,A.rea Board is Charles
Gillian, while other members of
the board area Benson Straughan,
Neil Lowey, , Milford Durst and
Clifford McNeil.
It was felt that No. 1 school,
nearly 100 years old, is beyond
repair. No, 3 was condemned and
Torn down two years ago. The
,tild;ren from No. 3 have been at -
'ending Saltford school but with
the attendance at Saltford school
now 'about 77, this number is too
large to be adequately handled.
No. 4 vas closed • down 'about ten
years ago and No. 5 several years
later. When No. 1 is closed down
;next year it will be the fourth
.school in the township,rto be closed
-in the past ten years. Hence the"
need,of the new -school, which will

this has • been. largely due to an
influx of Dutch immigrants.
As the old schools ,were torn
down over the past decade the
sale of property and building ma-
terials from them created a fund
which was set up as a building
fund for a new school. ft was this
money which was used to purchase
the new school site on the Treble
'farm.
'An artesian well will be .drilled
on the new school site in the. im-

CABINS POPULAR ,.
Mr. G. :Hazelwood, of Silver
Birch Grove cabins., three miles
north of Bayfield, on Highway No,
21, reports that the volume of
summer business this year is up
to that of last year. The heat
wave created a strong demand for
cabins on the lakefront.
First white man ever to see
Great Salt Lake was • •the famous
western scout, Jim Bridger, who
made his way to the shore of the
lake in 1824 while on a trapping
expedition.

Mr. McIlraith: If you look at
statistics showing the net•, income

member for Ottawa West.
• An Hon. Member: But do you
understand them?
Mr.. Charlton:. I think I under-
stand them better than the hon,
member 'for Ottawa West. If he
•had spent as much time on a farm
as I •have he would realize what
they mean to the farmers. I have
studied- these statistics. Can the
hon. member for Ottawa West tell
methat the farmers' net income
is A high now as it was four or
five years ago?
Mr. Mcllraith: Mr. Speaker, if
I am being asked a question I
shall answer it. •
Mr. Charlton: You may answer
it. •
.Mr. Mcllraith: I just want to
point out that the last statistics, I
have available at the moment,
having had no •warning of the
question, show that the net income
of the farmers of Canada was 18

times as high in 1948 ;is it was
during the regime of his •former
leader, Bennett:
An Hon. Member: That is irrel-
evant."
Mr, Mcllraith: 'It is an. answer
to the question.
Mr. ,Charlton: Perhaps the hon.
member is quite correct when he
says that it was 18 times as high.
The fact that it was 18 times as
hinh 'does not mean one thing.
Mr. Mellrait'h: That is my point
exactly.
Mr. Charlton: I say it does not
mean e thing. I ',stated in the
house the other day that the net
income of farniers has decreased
by .48' per•• scent in the last four
years. Would any other part of
the economy take that reduction
and say as little as: the farmers
have said in the last year or so?
The price the farmers have to pay
for the article's they purchase has
gone up 50 per cerit in the last few
years, while the price they get for
their produce has gone up, bronly
17 per cent. The net income might
be 18 times greater, but the dollar
value is down. I suppose the 'hon.
member is referring to the thirties
when the farmer was not getting
as ' much money.
. Mr. Ml:•raith: "That is right. He,
was getting nothing. There was
an impossible government in office
at that time.
Mr. Charlton: We have heard
the same"''Fgument so many times
from members of the Liberal party
in this houses and it can get rather
tiresome when everyone in this
country, knows that the depression
began before the Conservatives
came to powern the thirties.
Mr. Fraser (Peterborough):
When the ,Grits were in power.
Mr. -Mcllraith: I did not suggest
they started it.
Mr. Charlton: I have figures on
record on many occasions, proving
beyond any doubt that our exports
of food products from Canada to
Great Britainincreased. from the
time the Conservative government
came into power in 1930 over the
exports of the 1928.29 period, Will.
the hon. member refute. those
arguments? • '
Mr. Mcllraith: If they are re-
levant I •would be glad to do so.
