Blaming •the present power short- age on the ,Hepburn GoVernment, Premier George Drew told the an- nual meeting of the Huron -Perth 'Pro- gressive Conservative Association in Cardno's Hall Friday night, that the situation today stemmed directly from the repudiation of Quebec contracts. "I can't help but get a great deal of amusement," said :Premier Drew, "out of Mr. Oliver's suggestion that this p ty has something to do with the sho a of hydro -electric power in Ontario." The cause of the short- age, Mr. Drew said,lay in the actions of the. Liberal Government of which Mr. Oliver was a member. "His lead- er—whom he supported and support- ed consistently—repudiated the Que- bec power contracts, and endangered the power situation in this province for many .years ,'to come. That Gov- ernment, at that time, stated that this province didn't need any construction of any new power plants for years to come." In the 30 years of provincial hydro, Premiere Drew said, the supply of hy- dro -electric power has grown from 275,000 horsepower to 2,750,000 horse- power. "During almost a third of those 30 years, a Government that Mr. Oliver supported .was in power; during that time the total added to the whole .production in Ontario was 155,000 horsepower, of which 65,000 was actually brought into production after we came into power. "Contrary to the expectations of Mr. Oliver and others," Premier Drew said, "power demands have gone up." Since the Second Great War, Premier Drew observed, half a million horse- power have' been brought into pro- duction, and another million horse- power will have come into production within three years: "When people today are asked to conserve electric energy," the Pre- mier said, "it is because we ate going throughthe greatest period of ex- pansion this province has ever known, Our demand for power is based on expanding production,. The Government has complete confidence in the expanding future of • Ontario, and is building power plants on that basis-' Referring to the unsolved problem of taxation agreements between Prov- ince and Dominion, Premier Drew said: "Mr. Oliver keeps saying that the Province of Ontario has refused to .sign agreements ,: . . Now, ladies and gentlemen„ that statement is sim- ply untrue." The Ontario Government does take the stafid, the Premier con- tinued, .",that it is unwilling to sign an • agreement with the Dominion Arthur Fraser Income Tax Reports Bookkeeping Services, Etc.

Social Services Not "Free" "Never at any time," the Premier commented, "did the Dominion Gov ernment undertake to provide social services simply upon the ^provincial governments' signing taxing agree- ments." The health measures pro- posed by the Dominion Government, the Premier said, were dependent on extra taxes—among them a proposed extra income tax, and a poll -tax, on every one over 16 years of age. Agrieulture is• one of the subjects Premier Drew said, in wfijeh juris- dictien is, by the British North -Am- erica Act, allotted both to the Dom- inion Government and to the Prov- inces. The Ontario Government, ,he said, has not yet been able to get the co-operation it would like , to have with the Dominion Department of Agriculture. "Never was the need' for that type of co-operation more evident;" he said, "than in the situation• we now find, in which ceilings are taken off feed grain, while leaving them on the products that result from the use of feed grain." "I don't think anything • has hap- pened in the .last five years," said k.. E. Cardiff, Brussels, M.P. if,or, Hur- on North, "that has been so derti- mental to farmers as the legislation we have had in the past few days." The lifting of price ceilings and end- ing of subsidies on feed grains, Mr. Cardiff said, is resulting right now in the slaughter of livestock by farmers who can not afford to feed their ani- mals." Thomas .Pryde, Exeter, 'welcomed representatives of the town or Mit- ehell and the Township of Logan, which were .added to the 'riding of Hurotn-Perth at the last redistribu- tion. "1 am sure they will be a tower of strength to the riding of. Huron - Perth," Mr. Pryde said. Dr. R(` Hobbs Taylor, Dashwood, M.P.P. for Huron, J. Fred Edwards, Palmerston, M.P.P. for Perth, 'and John W. Hanna, Wingham; M.P:P, for Huron -Bruce, spoke briefly. E. D. Bell, Exeter, was chairman of ,the meeting. Among those also on.

A dainty launch was served at the close. - DDT Not a Repellent The chemical DDT, although ex- tremely effective in killing many kinds of insects, is not itself a re- pellent and will not keep away flies, mosquitoes and other pests. Actual- ly this is an• advantage, as insects. are not discouraged from coming in- to contact with the chemical and 're- ceiving a lethal dose. DDT does not kill insect eggs,•though solvents used in some prays containing it may do so, but b' cause of the length of time DDT remains active after application young larvae or nymphs are likely td be killed when they hatch from the eggs and come in contact 'with the residue of the •chemical, "I say, -Brown, what about that umbrella I lent you?" "I lent it to Juries. Do you want It?"

The investment includes land and....buildings, implements and ma- chinery --including motor trucks and automobilts—and live stock, includ- ing poultry and animals on fur farms. The estimated value of farm capi- tal in 1946 was almost seven per cent higher than the value for 1945, but nearly 78 per cent of it can be at- tributed to the enhanced value of land and buildings. Higher prices for livestock, which more than offset a decrease in numbers, • and ,substantial purchases of farm implements during 1945 increased the value of both these Components of farm capital in 1946. - Conqietdllt You wouao admire her skill.
