Narcisse Cantin's Brochure on Planned
Radial Line—Stratford to St. Joseph
Years ago, .when the late Nar-
cisse Cantin was working on plans
for the building of a city at St.
Joseph, he also envisioned ideas of
a radial railway from the city of
Stratford to St. Joseph, and on to
Parkhill.
Being a prolific writer, Mr.
•Cantin came out with a brochure
on the proposed rail line, and a
copy of this brochure was recen-
tly given to the Citizens News.
Contents are as follows:
Facts About The Proposed Strat-
ford and St. Joseph Radial
Railway
This line is to be constructed
and operated from the Grand
Trunk station in the City of
Stratford, and from there wester-
ly to the St. Joseph Wharf on
Lake Huron, a distance of about
40 miles; thence southerly to the
Village of Grand Bend, a popular
summer resort, and also to the
Town of Parkhill, situated on the
main line of the Grand Trunk
Railway at a distance of 41 miles
west of the City "of Stratford, and
41 miles east of the City of Sarn-
ia, Which town is also on the main
line of the Grand Trunl< Railway.

The route and territory along
this Railway is the choicest farm-
ing land to be found anywhere in
America, and it is the wealthiest
and most densely populated sect-
ion of the Dominion. of Canada.
The City of Stratford is a
beautiful inland city, with a popu-
lation of over 15,000 inhabitants,
and is one of the leading receiv-
ing and distributing centres of
the most prosperous farming dis-
trict in Ontario. It is situated on
the main line of the Grand Trunk
Railway System at its intersec-
tion with the Wiarton and Port
Dover, Buffalo and Goderich, and
the London and St. Marys branch-
es.
Besides the many important in-
dustries and factories advantag-
eously located in the City of
Stratford, giving employment to a
large number of men, the Grand
Trunk Railway System's principal
locomotive shops are located there
and give employment to over a
thousand men.
The inhabitants of the iCty of
Stratford, as well as those all a-
long this proposed line of Railway,
will enjoy an accomodation that
will delight them from every
standpoint. Round trip tickets
from inland stations to the beaut-
iful shores of Lake Huron will be
available at prices appreciated by
all classes.
The advantages of Lake Huron
will practically lie at the door of
every citizen along the line. A
one-hour passenger service will be
maintained for 12 hours per day,
carrying mail and express, and
the large through freight business
will be mostly done during the
night, so as not to interfere with
passenger service.
The equipment of this Railway
will be of the most up-to-date,
methods and appliances and will
connect with a daily line of steam
boat running across to the shore
of Michigan.
Between the City of Stratford
and Lake Huron this Railway will
pass through some of the best vil-
lages. in Ontario, and will cross
the London, Huron & Bruce steam
railway running between London
and Wingham one of the best pay-
ing branches of the Grand Trunk

Dairy Cows Drink
12 Gallons Daily
Make sure water is readily av-
ailable and above 35 degrees Fah-
renheit in the winter, say live-
stock experts with the Ontario
Department of Agriculture. A
cow will take an average of ten
drinks a day if she has free ac-
cess to water.
The average dairy cow drinks
about 12 gallons of water a day
and a heavy milker might need as
much as 30 gallons proof enough.
that to get top milk production
(milk contains 87 percent water)
your cows need plenty of water.

Advises on Care
Of Poinsettia
Although it will be easier to
buy poinsettia plants from a flor-
ist each winter, they can be car-
ried over to the next year, accor-
ding to horticulture specialists
with the Ontario Department of
Agriculture. Poinsettia flowers
are inconspicuous but a colorful
show is provided by the large
scarlet or sometimes cream color-
ed, leaf -like bracts. This popular
Christmas -flowering plant does
best in good light exposure and a
temperature of about 65° F. Yel-
lowing and dropping of the bot-
tom leaves may be caused by tem-
peratures below 60° F, drafts, and
drying out at the roots.
After "flowering," rest t h e
plants in a cool location and let
the soil dry out. Don't let the
stems become dry enough to cause
shrivelling of the bark, however.
During this rest period, cut back
the plants part way. Following
the rest period, place the plants
in a larger pot, supply water and
expose them to a good light and a
temperature of 65 to 70° F.
Exposure of poinsettia plants to
electric light after the first of
September is not a good practise.
It may prevent the flower buds
from forming and the bracts from
coloring.
Railway System.
This Railway will be operated
to the St. Joseph Wharf built by
the Dominion Government, situat-
ed in the Village of St. Joseph at
the foot of the Zurich Public
Road, where there is a beautiful
wide beach, good fishing and bath -
Lot fox l�1caaurc cux'n
where THE NATURAL ADVAN-
TAGES FOR A HARBOUR are
better than at any other point on
the Canadian shore of Lake Hur-
on, being in a deep circular bay
with deep water close in shore,
clay bottom free from rocks and
sand bars, river deposits, and such
obstacles as are encountered at
other places where rivers flow
into the Lake.
St. Joseph, is situated by sailing
distance 40 miles northeast of
Sarnia and 20 miles south of God-
erich, and it is only 40 miles due
west to cross Lake Huron at this
point to the shores of the State of
Michigan, U.S.A. and due to the
large circular bay at St. Joseph.
It is 62 miles distance by shore
line to Sarnia and 23 miles to
Goderich.
At the present time there is no
railway communication between
St. Joseph and Stratford, along
the entire Lake Shore between
Sarnia and Goderich, a distance
by land about of 85 miles, and by
an average stretch of about 15
miles wide.
A remarkable inducement in
favor of this proposed Railway is
that living within a radius of five
miles of this route, between the
City of Stratford and St. Joseph,
between St. Joseph and the Town
of Parkhill, there now resides over
100,000 people who will be direct-
ly benefitted by this Railway.
The fertile soil of this section,
the wealth of its inhabitants, the
commercial progress of its indus-
tries and the delightful climate
and good public roads in all direc-
tions, fully justify the building,
maintainance and success of this
enterprise, and promises a good
investment.

Releases Figures
On Demerit Plan
Transport Minister John Ya-
remko, QC, recently released the
following figures on the point de-
merit system.
Over 65,000 drivers have from
three to six points registered
against them and are in danger of
reaching the 12 -point limit in any
two-year period and losing their
licenses.
Thirty-five motorists have al-
ready reached their 12 -point limit
and lost their licenses.
A total of 81,073 convictions
under the point system regula-
tions were registered against
2,21't,833 licensed drivers.
Mr. Yaremko's figures also re-
vealed 21 persons have eleven
points; 38 have ten points; 633
have nine points; 274 have eight
points; 48 have seven points;
1,588 have six points; and 2,140,-
014 have no points.
Upon obtaining six points, of-
fenders are sent a letter warning
them that at nine points they are
required to attend an interview
with a representative of the
Driver Control Branch to discuss
their driving problems and to give
reasons why their licenses should
not be suspended. Warning let-
ters were sent to 1,910 motorists
and interviews ordered for 692
drivers. Only eight of the 692
drivers were women.
According to their age groups
the interviewed drivers were 12
percent from 16 to 19; 27 percent

to 34; 18 percent from 35 to 55;
and 14 percent 45 and over.
Fear that hog prices will dip
sharply after the government's
new deficiency payment program
goes into effect January 11, may
induce heavy marketings between
now and then, officials of the
Livestock Division, Canada De-
partment of Agriculture said last
Wednesday.
But, they pointed out, should
prices drop after the change in
price support policy, the producer
is still protected. The new defic-
iency payment will make up the
difference between 'the national
average in 1960 and the support
level.
A federal spokesman said ord-
erly marketing of hogs was in the
producer's own interests.
Overloading the market would
mean delayed slaughter, delayed
settlement, and unnecessary shrin-
kage. It would likely create an
oversupply of underweight hogs,
which yield a product not wanted
by the trade. Lightweight hogs
are subject to a discount of at
least $3.50 per cwt. below the
price paid for Grade A's.
Even if the price does fall when
the deficiency payment scheme
goes into effect, the average far-
mer will still gain by selling his
hogs at market weight in that he
will (1) get a better price from
the packer, (2) get a government
premium on A and B grades, and
(3) be eligible for the deficiency
payment on A and B grade hogs.
The Agricultural Stabilization
Board will discontinue purchasing
hogs Saturday, January 9,
Officials stress the importance
of registration for all producers
wishing to participate in any pos-
sible deficiency payment.

Food Guide
It has been known for a long
time that health depends on the
kind of food people eat. Chickens,
pigs and cattle do not develop°
equally well on just any kind of
food and neither do human beings.
The Home Economics Service of
the Ontario Department of Agri
culture recommends the following
food guide for health. These
good -to -eat foods should be eaten
every day for health and people
should have at least three meals
each day.
Milk: Children up to about 12
years, at least one pint; adoles-
cents, at least one and a half
pints; adults, at least half a pint.
Fruit: One serving of citrus
fruit or tomatoes or their juices
and one serving of other fruit.
Vegetables: At least one serv-
ing of potatoes and at least two'
servings of other vegetables, pre-
ferably leafy, green or yellow, and
frequently raw.
Cereals and bread: One serving
of whole grain cereal and at least
four slices of bread with butter.
Meat and fish: One serving of
meat, fish, poultry or meat alter-
nates such as dried beans, eggs
and cheese. Use liver frequently.
In addition, use eggs and cheese
at least three times a week each.
At least 400 International Units
of Vitamin D are required daily
for all growing persons and expec-
tant and nursing mothers.
