HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1948-03-11, Page 3THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 194', THE SEAFORTH NEWS THOMAS PRYDE SPEAKS (Continued from Previous Page) but the roads were clear. It might be mentioned that this was just a normal winter in _ Huron and the snow will ensure good' crops next season. Our wells and springs will be replenished✓ once again demonstrat- ng that Huron County is well bless- ed by nature. The Department of Municipal Af- fairs brings the Government;of the Province into close contact with the lives of the people through municip- al eouncils. The 'Municipal Board gives advice and guidance ° in the matter of capital expenditure so that we will avoid a repetition of the disastrous conditions of the 30's. New services must be provided but supervision is given to prevent un- warranted expenditure. I am pleased to note that debent- ure debt of all municipalities has de- creased over 16 million dollars at the end of 1946. By way of compar- ison, the gross debenture debt of all municipalities at the end of 1946 was 8214,648,000, compared with a total gross debt in 1932 of $504,- 756,000. 504;756,000. This is something we should note with a good deal of satisfaction, when we know the demands that will be made for further capital 'expendi- tures in the near future. An Assessment Branch was added in 1947 which'will give advice to municipalities on assesslnent law and assist in setting up new and up- to-date methods of valuing proper- ty. Many applications have been re- ceived for this service and I am. happy to tell you Huron County has adopted the system and appointed a full-time county assessor. The hon. Minister of Health has shown a keen interest in the smaller hospitals throughout the Province. Due to the new policy announced last summer, grants are now avail- able for capital expenditure. In Huron County, three hospitals, at Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth, have been greatly assisted in mak- ing new' additions to their buildings by reason of these grants. It is well known that more people are hos- pitalized to -day than ever before in the history of the Province and it is imperative that increased accomoda- tion be provided. These new grants for capital ex- penditure have given fresh encour- agement to those public spirited citizens who comprise the boards of these small hospitals. They struggle along against heavy odds to provide hospital accommodation for the sick their community and I am happy o note the new policy of this Gov- ernment. In the field of law enforcement we see a great mddern development in the equipment of our province police force with a radio system. This has already demonstrated its value in the apprehension of crim- inals. It will also add greatly to the prevention of crime, when it is known that a net can be thrown around a given area in a matter of minutes. Much that I have said pertains to legislation which affects rural Ont- tario, but I am not unmindful of the fact that we have also great cities which form an important part of the life of this Province. Much is being done to improve the life and welfare of these great centres of population and the aim of all Gov- nment policy should be to bring to- 11111.0ther urban and rural people. The happiness and prosperity of one depends upon the ,other. Busy, prosperous cities provide a ready market for the produce of the farm, and a happy, contented and prosper- ous farmer spends his money in the city. There can be no zeal progress where one section of the people is barely .able to procure the necessi- ties of life. At the outset of my speech, I made mention of the citizen who made the claim that there was no difference in political parties. In my own way I have tried to point out the difference—the people of. Huron on February 16th said there was a difference and indicated their pre- ference. This is really a• Government look- ing ahead, a progressive Govern- ment with faith in the future of this great province. This.was what ap- pealed tothe people of Huron. They saw it led by a man of vision, able to grasp a problem, however big— courage to tackle it and ability to see it through. That's what the people want, that is what they are getting. And, too, this is what our young people want. There are marry isms in the world today. The only way to fight them is.to give the people something better. The young peo- ple see this and that is why they are flocking to the banner of the Gov- ernment of this province. During the recent election our op- position was well briefed in the shortcosbings of our country, hut the • people have shown they want some- thing constructive, something big, something with an appeal to the imagination. We want to show youth that big things are to be obtained in Canada and there is no need: to go elsewhere to find it. Today we are suffering for' the negative policy of the past. Let us not forget the accomplish- ments of this nation in both ,peace, and war. Young Canadians are not to be excelled. If I may quote from my own experience in war years, I will refute the assertion that youth is decadent, that it is not what a past generation was. Let me tell you, we have some of the finest young peo- ple to be found •anywhere on the. face of the globe. That is why I am here to -day. That is why I support the Drew Administration. That is why the people supported me as its candi- date, The youth of Huron were he - hind us and when the ;time comes, the youth of this province will fol- low suit. We have the leader, we have the policy, we have the courage, and' faith in the future of this great pro- vince to do big things. Although I have exalted youth, I do not forget the contribution `made by an older generation to the de- velopment and upbuilding of this province. They will continue to give leadership and stability in every walk of life. New Canadians, yes! but let us do everything to retain our own Cana- dian youth—provide opportunities for intelligent young men and 'wo- men, so that they will not find it necessary to seek their fortune else- where. Therefore, my closing words are 'these: Let all parties in this Legis- lature co-operate to produce sound legislation, which will give encour- agement to industry, stability to agriculture, freedom and security to all the people, and create opportun- ity for youth. Let us not sell our province short. Let us see in it great things. Let us work and strive to make it the best place on earth in', which to live and raise our children. Has He Risen Tor You 7 Years ago in Honolulu, at a very impressive Easter sun -rise service I heard a speaker, a layman of a rather fundamentalistie type of thought, utter these challenging words: "Jesus Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Have you seen Him?" At the time I was shocked. It seemed too crassly literalistic; but, as the years have gone by, I have been more and more impressed. The resurrection experience, I now be- lieve, was not just for the disciples in ancient Palestine, something akin to it has been the heritage of Christian believers all across the centuries. St. Francis of Assissi, St, Catherine of Siena, Brother Lawr- ence, John Fox, John Bunyan, Wil- liam Blake and an innumerable company of others have found Christ walking beside them on some Em- maus road or standing on the beach of their little lake of Galilee and have gone forth from the experience quickened in soul and re -assured in spirit. If the resurrection is to have any great abiding value it must mean something to us. Albert W. Palmer. WE ARE NOW.

Because Dr. Lister wonder- ed why so many patients died after operations, he dis- covered that germs cause infection, and developed modern antiseptic practices. For our modern lighting we can thank Edison's curiosity about electricity. Again, curiosity about what and how people buy, led Woolworth to develop a new kind of store which grew into a multi-million dollar chain. You may make some pro- fitable discoveries by asking yourself (and others) ques- tions about everything from mousetraps to marker trends. Knowledge is Power. The more you learn, provided you have the ability to use such knowledge, increases your value to your employer and may start you on a new and exciting career. And don't forget to be curious about people, too. A study of their tastes, wants, behaviour and opinions can be equally rewarding. • . • Are you curious about: what happens to life insurance dollars? Savings effected by Canadians through their life insurance premiums provide funds for investments in a wide variety of public enter- prises, such as new schools, highways, power plants, har- bours, homes and farms.
