THE 'POST PRINT Telephone 31 Brussels, Ont. BRUSSELS —.— CANADA This Is Quite A Province Some figures bave been dug UP by the Financial Post that should serve to combine citizens of Ontario that this is a mighty important per - tion of the Dominion of Canada and that the business of electing a government to run provincial t affairs, a task in which we are at present engaged, is a serious ees• ponsibllity and one not to be ale preached lghtly. For example we find that one- third of the entire population of Canada lives in Ontario and that this province also i sable to claim 44 per cent. of the national income and 4e per cent. of the total Industrial production. In Ontario too are 4S per cent. of all the motor vehicles registered in Canada, 45 per cent. of the tlepehones while 42 per cent, of the total retail trade of the Domin- ion is done within the borders of this province. Again Ontario is the section of Canada that has the closest ocn- nection with the Untied States Inas- mucb as 66 per cent, of tourist automobiles entering from Abet country come in through Ontario ports and out of over 1,100 United States branch plants which have located in Canada approximately 66 Per cent. are situated in Ontario. In mining the story is much the saute. Ontario has 41 per cent, of the total capital invested in mines ot=SNAPSHOT GUIL SELF -TIMERS You can take a picture of the family picnic and be In it yourself by using a self timer. THE question is often asked, "Is there any way that I can take a snapshot of my friends and include myself In the picture?" There certainly is a way and a simple one. Use a self timer. A, self timer is a most fascinating little gadget and almost human in its operation. It is an inexpensive accessory that fits over the metal button, or plunger, at the end of the cable release, which you press to take a snapshot with a folding cam- era. It cannot, however, be used un- less the camera is fitted with a cable release. Frere is how it 'works. E9rat You locate your subject in the finder and at the same time plan the space you will occupy when you step into the picture. Suppose you want to take a pic- ture of a group an a picnic or at the beach. You will have to have the camera en a tripod, table or some- thing solid. Locate the group in the finder—and be sure you can see the spot you will occupy or you may be among those missing when the prints are returned. When the lens aperture is sot at the proper opening with the correct shutter speed, the same as if you were going to snap the picture your- self, set the self titter for the length of time it would take you to get to your place in the group. Slip the self timer over the button at the end of the cable release and press the little release lover an the timer. It starts buzzing away, you rejoin the group and then—click—it has taken the picture and you're in it. You can purchase a self tinter at- tachment from almost any store that sells photographic supplies. Tltey are not expensive and last a lifetime. Sotto cameras have self timers incorporated in the shutter con- struction, so if you have this type of camera and have never used the self timer you have missed a lot Of fun and picture taking opportunities. 154 John van Guilder 111 Canada and her vninaral produce tion rs'echee 47 per 00111. of the l"nU' oral total, This proytnce tiler, boasts 43 per cent. of the total elec- tric paw•er customers of the Donnie ben while the record shows that 43 per tent, of the bunk debits are reg.

Agriculturally too 30 per cent. of the normal revenue of the revenue of the Dominion comes from Onterlo and the value of the field crop exceeds by a consider. able amount the total field crop production of any other province, These are impressive totals and they should serve, as we said al the outset, to arouse among the citizens of Ontario.a feeling that the question of what party .should con, trol the affairs of this province la rt fairly important matter, c uel0 , IT'S A BIG JOB Even though it was made In the course of a campaign speech the an. nouncement of Premier Hepburn that his government proposes to inagurato• a systematic and progres- sive system of replenishing On- tario's lakes and rivers with fish had a pleasant sound, It Is a promise that we would like to have repeated from Hon, Earl Rowe Just to make sure that no matter upon which party the fortunes of war may smile on October 6 this impor- tant business will not be pigeon- holed. The re -building of Ontario's sup- ply of game fish is Inseparably bound up with the future of the tourist industry. Next to the Dionne quintuplets the greatest attraction that the province offers to the tourists Is the chance to land a hard-hitting musky or a fighting black bass and it is per- fectly obvious to a good many citi- zens that unless an adequate pro- gram of re -stocking is put into effect it will not be long before that attraction will have vanished into then air. Already there are stretches of water once noted for maskinottge fishing where a musky nowadays is about as scarce as the wild pigeon. The situation demands action and we believe that the first step In dealing with It should be the crea- tion of a fish and game department Presided over by a. minister whose sole job it would be to give effective leadership to suck a government unit. The job linked up if you like with the whole question of tourist promotion, Is a full-time job for an energetic and buisness-like member of the cabinet and well done would be of enormous value to the prov- ince. roto THE POLITICAL MUD SLINGER Col, T, L, Kennedy, former Min- ister of Agriculture In Ontario and Conservative candidate in Peel county in the provincial election, said during the speech he delivered at Caledon that the tendency to- ward moil -slinging by certain people appealing for public support in the election was giving the youth of the country a poor idea and understand- ing of public service, Col, Kennedy admitted tate num- ber of mud-sliugers either side would be comparatively few, bat what they do have to say is gener- ally widely reported and in this way the younger folk In the com- munity are apt to get the innpres- efon that polities and public life in general forms an unsavory combing. tion from which it is well to keep far away. Often enough one hears plenty re_ garding the abase which public men have to tolerate and the degree of mis-statement made regarding them and their ways, but the truth seem; to he that some of these public men have only themsolyes 10 blame for the very condition about which they cam plain. They abuse other pulrlio men who differ front then In a pclitlral way, and they do it believing they are going to gailt votes. WW's do not believe votes erre secured in this way, The public is possessed of sufficient intelli- gence to listen to and appreciate the man who has something worth while to say.
