Valuable Agriculture Lands
(By ry. Carl Hemingway)

to the OFA for study.
Mrs. Ilugh In response to a request from

Mrs. Hugh McEwan Sr., passed
away on Friday, May 15, at South
Huron Hospital, Exeter, following
a lengthy illness. She was a pat-

er, 1958, and suffered a stroke on
Thursday.
In her 85th year, she was the
former Helen Bell, R.N., and was
born on the Bell Homestead on
Highway 4, at the outskirts of
Hensall.
She graduated as a Registered
Nurse in Michigan, and continued
in that profession for some years
until her marriage to Mr. Me -
Ewan, who predeceased her a few
years ago.
Mrs. McEwan was a very be-
loved citizen, and during her life-
time gave freely to all good and
charitable causes, without publi-
city. In former years she was very
active in church and various or-
ganizations.
Surviving are two sons, Hugh
and Jim, Hay Township; two gr-
andchildren, Malcolm and Cather-
ine McEwan; one brother, Dr.
James W. Bell, Hensall; and one
sister, Mrs. Margaret Doan, of
Morrin, .Alberta.

conducted by Rev. Charles D. Dan-
iel. Interment was made in the
Exeter cemetery.

the Government for suggestions to
increase the percentage voting in
municipal elections it was suggest-
ed that the rate of pay for Coun-
cillors set by the Department of
Municipal Affairs should be rais-
ed. Also it was felt that, since this
was a privilege of citizenship in
a free country, the Federation
should do all in its power to en-
courage everyone to vote.
n Warren Zurbrigg reported on
the OFA members meeting of
May 7. .A good portion of the time
was spent in discussing the new
support price ,pn dairy products,
particularly on milk powder. With
the former floor of 15c on spray
powder in bulk the consumer is
paying 35c per lb. package. Now
that the floor has been dropped to
10c it will be interesting to see
if the retail price drops to 30c.
The announcement that W. C.
Good's book on the history of farm
organization in Ontario was most
welcome. The County Federation
is ordering 10 copies for re -sale to
anyone wishing this book. It
should fill a real need in giving
us the background of what has
happened in the past.
Douglas Miles, agricultural rep-
resentative reported that the bruc-
ellosis canvass has been complet-
ed with about 90 percent of the
farmers favouring the project. Mr.
Miles expressed appreciation to the
Federation for thetime and effort
given in carrying out this canvass

10 Years of Progress
sem::;::.>:
RURAL
ELECTRIFICATION
90% of Ontario's farmers now
have power. Provincial grants
totalling $100 million have
increased rural power custom-
ers from 220,000 to 473,000
in ten years.
with
Premier FROST
These last ten years, beyond all comparison, have witnessed
the greatest development in the history of our province.
In these ten years, Ontario's advances in the development
of resources, business expansion and human betterment
have been unsurpassed anywhere.
The dynamic economic creed of the Government of
Premier Leslie Frost has been—and continues to be—
MORE PEOPLE, MORE INDUSTRY, MORE JOBS, MORE WAGES,
MORE OPPORTUNITY, and from these MORE PRODUCTIVITY
AND REVENUE TO DO THE JOB.
Great as Ontario's progress has been, under wise and
sound Progressive Conservative policies, even greater
progress lies ahead.
AGRICULTURE
Farr* cash income in Ontario
reached an all-time high last
year. Great strides forward have
been made in the orderly mar-
keting of farm products.
Price supports are a reality.
HUMAN BETTERMIiNT
Ontario's advances in health,
education and welfare are
unequalled. Investment in human
betterment has risen from $104
million to $329 million a year—
about half of Ontario's total
revenues. Personal income has
risen much faster than living cost.
HIGHWAYS
In ten years, Ontario's invest-
ment in our vast provincial
highway system his risen from
$65 million to $238 million a
year. Road grants for the
improvement of municipal roads
are up from $15 million to
$61 million a year.
MUNICIPAL AID
P -C Government policies have
lightened the burden on every
municipal taxpayer. Provincial
aid has increased from $82
million to $310 million annually
in ten years.
HOUSING
Vigorous government action has
abated the acute housing shortage.
In 10 years, 425,000 new dwelling
units have been completed, a
record without equal on this
continent. 1958 saw an all-time
high of 64,000 completions.
