(IN July 3rd, an all day organization meeting of Progressive Conservative Party candidates and officials from all over the Province, held at the Royal York Hotel, listened with rising enthusiasm to a highly constructive and inspiring address from the Provincial Leader, George Drew. Mr. Drew presented a series of pledges to the people of the Province -each one of which was unanimously applauded. The pledges, twenty-two in number, constitute the platform upon which the Progressive Conservative Party enters the general election. It was that programme which the Leader announced to the public in his radio address last Thursday night.. Mr. Drew said: 1. We will maintain British institutions and strengthen the British partnership by every means within the constitutional power of the Government of Ontario. 2. We will at all times work in effective cooperation with the Dominion Govern. meat and with all other governing bodies in Canada in all activities which will assist in the prosecution of the war to a successful conclusion, and in establishing a sound basic of Mein' security, health insurance and protection in their old age for all our. people. At the same time we will insist that the constitutional rights of the people of Ontario be preserved, and that the Govern- ment of Ontario exercise full control of its own Provincial affairs. 3. The farms, the factories, the mines,. the foreate, and personal services which con- stitute the five major groups of employment Will be supported by appropriate legislation in theirefforts to increase employment at good wages. In every field of employment Individual initiative will be encouraged and • hard work rewarded by reducing taxes and removing bureaucratic restrictions. 4. Farming will be organized in every county tinder coinmittees of outstanding farmer, who will lie given authority to plan production and regulate the processing and dlstrtbution of their output.

The mining Industry will be assisted in every way possible and placed under the direction of a Minister with practical knowledge of mining. The tax burden will be lightened and there will be a more equitable dlotribution of the tax between the different taxing bodies. A larger share or the taxes will go to the Provincial and Municipal treasuries, All restrictive mea- sures which deny prospectors and othefs the inducement to find and develop new mining properties will be repealed and every encouragement will be given to geologists and prospectors to discover new mineral areas: Every practical measure pea - Bible will be adopted to expand this great basic industry so that it may offer the widest opppoortunities for employment when our armed forms are demobilized. LONG-TERM FOREST POLICY 7. Our vast forest resources, which under proper administration are capable of creat- ing employment for hundreds of thousands of new workers, will be placed under the control of an Ontario Forest Resources Comtnimion which will operate under long- term policies of conservation, reforestation and.

Our educational system will be com- pletely revised so that every child in this Province will have an opportunity tb be educated to tine full extent of their mental capacity, no matter where they live or what the financial circumstances of their parents may be.'

VOTE AUGUST 4 FOR THE Published by Proaiesehvc Coeserv0ive Poral of Odoe10 George Drew as 1 know him By George W. James. Editor Canadian Statesman Bowmanvilfe, Ontario An Ontario provincial election le to, be held on August the fourth. A duty now falls upon the weekly press. That es to make known to, readers and resident voters the. issues involved. More than that, and equally important—as- loeal editors are aware—the hardy, hard working, clear thinking, war con, adorn farm people of Ontario want to know something about those who. lead the parties soon to seek their support. Isaues and controversytie the. campaign heightens. will 'be dealt with in the press in due course. The time is now opportune to say some. , thing, without political bias, about qualities of leadership Persona( history is a fair test of leadership. performance. Let us then introduce George A. Drew, leader of the Progressiva• Conservative Party of the Provinta of Ontario. His political opponents have sought to picture George Drew as V person aloof and, visionary. These of us who have come to know George as man to man, can deny that. He has .vision, yes indeed! Vistdn of profound and practical. character. He has demonstrated that ever since he entered public life, and before. His exhaustive, eearchings and stern indictments; have won the inarticulate respect of those presently in power. For he. hos fdrded corrective results. Often they liave ,ought to. disparage and, intimidate him. His complete leer- lesaness and devotion to truth have: completely disarmed all opponents who dare meet him upon legithnote pod proper grounds. Georgc,Drew id first and foremost a Cantrell/la, yet deep and strong. mod true for the British connection, He is 49 years of age. His grand, father was a member of Canada's. first parliament after Confederation, George was an officer in the Guelph Battery, at 20 years of age enlisted at war's outbreak In 1914, Iva., severely wounded do 1916, spent ninny months in military hospitals. George Drew entered public life. in hie native city, Guelph, as an aldermen and at 29 became mayor of that city. ,kilo admintatrativo experience began early and has con- tinued through to his present mai, tion as member of the Provincial Parliament and leader of the Opposition. But he has gone far• beyond that. Holding the view that public life demands the widest. possible knowledge, George Drew has travelled throughout Canada: has established world contacts and personally toured the British Isles during the present war, seeing, seeking and obtaining vital informs. Lion affecting Canada and the future. Out.tanding is the fact that while overseas he made particularly exhaustive enquiry into agriculture and intensive production. No other Public man in Canada has enquired no deeply Into this vital question. Public diktats and Canadian !turners should be deeply indebted for the writings and speeches of George Drew, since his return trout Britain, touching the present and future of Canadian agriculture. Ho has acquired both the "gess-roots" and world view on Canada's greatest, yet most neglected in- dustry. There is pleasure indeed in telling oomething of this man whom life course bas shaped steadily toward statesmanship. Sholdice, Elva Sullivan, Phyllis (H) Watson, Leona (13) Wilton,..

It has not been found pract- ical to maintain a Selective Service office in every town and many people have found the distance to the near- est office a bar to making application for employment, Many have not had an opportunity to learn the possibil- ities of employment' in nearby towns and cities and it is with this in mind that these visits are being arranged. Announcements have been sent to all local post offices indicating the time and place where interviews can be arranged. These will be close to home and it will be convenient for our people to drive in and talk matters over with this representative. No pressure" will. be brought to bear on any individual but general informat- ion will be provided and opportunities will be described for those who are interested.

V LITTLE HILLS I like little hills that stand, In a friendly farming land, Little flocks that feed and grope Up a sunny waiting- slope, And, when all the land's asleep, Hills that still their watching keep._ Hills that know the linnet's ,flight Hear the throbbing of the night Warm, sweet gusts of sudden rain, April in the fields again; Burning gorse, like beacoh fires, Trees, with broken tops, like ,spires,, Hills with little wooded vales Where the winding .padded trails Find old water -holes and springs. Know the secret heart of things—.. Wisdom' old as sight or sound, Hidden deep within the ground. Little friendly hills, that lie Like a smudge against the sky, • Lifting brave old furrowed sides This is your opportunity to learn To the winds eternal tides. where you can best fit into. Canada's. I am glad that I have known. war program. If you are not now Little hills that live alone.
