Dedicate UCO building
Ontario's Premier William
Davis told an audience of 600
people from across the province
last Thursday that the problems
now facing both the agricultural
and urban communities are be-
coming increasingly complex.
He was dedicating the new
head office building of United
Co -Operatives of Ontario . UCO;
is the province's largest co-oper-
ative in the farm and urban
supply business, with S0, 000
direct and indirect members.
"The government doesn't have
all the answers, " Mr. Davis
said, "we need the involvement
of organizations such as yours
to assist us."
"I think we can look forward
to this kind of co-operation and
dialogue in the months and
years that lie ahead, " he said,
referring to his participation in
the ceremony.
Mr. Davis had earlier indicat-
ed that the evolution of the
province's co-operative move-
ment had paralleled that of the
education field.
He mentioned, too, that new
legislation in five or six weeks
will be beneficial to co-operat-
ives in this province.
Mr. Davis pointed out that
many people don't realize the
co-op movement is not confined
to rural areas, "There's a grow-
ing interest in the part of the
urban community, " he said.
Backing up his statement was
the presence of representatives
from co-operative housing
groups; from the big insurance
organizations, Co-operators
Insurance Association of Guelph;
from the Ontario Credit Union
League, and from the National
Association of Canadian Credit
Unions.
Turning to agriculture, Mr.
Davis indicated, to his prim-
arily farm audience, that the
public doesn't always recognize
that the producer is not the prim
beneficiary of our recent econ-
omic growth.
He said that the public of
Ontario has to understand his
government's approach to the
agricultural community. "With
respect to changes in taxation,
our desire is to enable the
farm producers to receive more
by way of economic growth, "
he said, He added, "We
must recognize the great impor-
tance that the agricultural com-
munity has in the social and
economic life of all the people
of this province."
UCO's elected. president,
Tyson Langman, of Hawkestone,
described UCO's phenomenal
growth over the years. From
sales of $1.3 million in 1924,
the organization's volume climb•
ed to $10 million by 1944, a
little over $54 million in 1964;
and this year, was projected at
$170 million.

ROBERTSON' RE DS
THE NATI NAL
Lloyd Robertson is probably the best known broadcasting per-
sonality in the country when it comes to news. Each week night
at 11 o'clock, Lloyd reads The National news telecast. He's also
seen frequently doing such things as royal tour telecasts and
news specials such as space missions and international confer-
ences. A native of Stratford, Ont., Lloyd was only a little boy
when he became interested in radio, asking his father what
wires brought radio sounds into the Robertson house.
"Our total assets, " continued
Mr. Langman, "including this
new office building and land,
now total $6 8 million." He
alluded to further expansion in
the future, with the announce-
ment that UCO has purchased
11 acres of serviced land not far
from the new head office build-
ing for a new, 250, 000 sq. ft.
warehouse.
In his remarks, UCO's general
manager, Julian Smith, indicat-
ed that evidence of wholeheart-
ed support by co-operative
members in their central organ-
ization was in the more than
$5 million dollars that has been
invested in UCO by people all
over the province in the past twc
years.
Plan for fall planting of
evergreens for hest results
Gardeners should be making
plans now for fall landscaping
with evergreens. Evergreens
transplant well in the fall,
says D,B, McNeill, a horticult-
ural specialist from the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food.
Late August or early Septem-
ber are the best times to plant
new evergreens or move pres-
ent plants. However, if you
don't have the time then, they
can still be planted until very
late in the season, with excel-
lent results.
One reason for the success in
transplanting evergreens in the
fall is that they start to develop
new roots to ready themselves
for the winter. By planting
them now or later in the fall,
gardeners can take advantage
of this natural process. Other
factors in successful fall planting
are that evergreen growth has
stopped or slowed considerably,
summer heat is past, and fall
rains have started.
If you did not complete your
landscaping last spring, or if
there are some changes you still
want to make, visit your local
garden center. They should
have a good selection of ever-
greens to choose from. Success-
ful transplanting is almost
guaranteed in the fall.
