Pryde said in pant: `I would like to speak for a few minutes regarding the policies of the government, and of how they have been of such great benefit to my own particular riding, Farmers feel that falling prices will affect them first, and are naturally most alarmed atiot npresent, tendencies in that dine - The recent cancellation of food contracts with Britain may have far reanlling effects, and although I do not excuse the Federal government, we must admit that conditions be- yond their control are mainly re- sponsible, "1 want to get in a boost for I-Inron. To mut lune with eggs, and how 1' hey affect Huron county ---we are tit great egg producing country, The poultry population in 1948 was 1,218,30' — that is n mal' of hetes. 216.325 cases of eggs, 30 dozen eggs to the case were delivered to the various egg grading stations in the county in the same year. That means 781/ trillion eggs. I should like to sketch some of the activities inthecomity, \Ve have a Beef Producers Association In the county, and a Swine Producers As- sociation, and a Crop improvement Association. "Huron County produces ail the important crops in Ontario, with the exception of tobacco. Some of the greatest work in the agricultural field has been done by the junior farmers. The junior farmers are doing a great work, and they are a very well organ- ized group of young men and women. They are well organized and they have eleven subsections or clubs. There are six clubs far calves, one for ,swine, two for gain, one for tur- nips, and one for tractor malnten• ante. They are highly developed. and are being developed on an ever- increasing scale. They have their social activities, and they are doing a great work to make life on the farm in the rural districts, more attractive than in the past. They are doing a tremendous work on something that will be of great help in the future, because they are trying to make lite attractive for people on the farm. by keeping Ontario boys on the farm, and continuing the old system of keeping the farm in the family. That, will. be a, great benefit to this province "A year ago we passed the com- munity centres act, which was to do prhriarily with assistance to rural districts in building community cen- tres. Four places in Huron have taken advantage of that Act during the past year. "I am all in favor of daylight sav- ing time and the municipalities should have the right to determine whether to adopt it or not. But I say something should be done as to the time when it will be brought in and when it will be terminated. Last year, due to the action of the Toron- to city council, it was chaotic. I mentioned assistance given by this government to provide improved services of all kinds to farm people and rural communities. First and foremost, and of prime importance, is the aid given to education, I do not think we should minimize this aid. Without it I fully believe that many schools in the province would have been closed for lack of teachers. These grants have enabled school boards to pay better salaries. Many of the schools now have hy- dro installed, which saves the eye- sight of the children, and there is modern plumbing. It could not have been provided out of the property tax on which it existed before. Again here we have something which will be of great Help to many schools. In Huron county the attendance at secondary schools in the last four years hes increased fifty per cent. It was absolutely necessary to find new and increased accommodation, and you and I know that would be a great burden on property owners if they were called upon to do it with- out special grants. In Huron county we have four dis- trict high schools. and we have 24 busses operating in the southern part of the comity, and they travel 1600 utiles per day and provide transport- ation for 72S pupils. Thai is 0 roe. o1imeodation, surety. The grouts O't received in Huron this year totalled. $361,800, comprised of 8181.10) ele- mentary,$11,792 separate, and $171.- 606 secondary, malting the 10101 which T mentioned 833l,Snn. That is of tremendous nssist.ntc•ri to Ilit' school boards in Huron comity. (Continued on page 9) SEAFORTH W. I. TO MEET The March meeting of Seaforth W.
