amounted to $172. It was pointed)
out that with the exception of one
night, the collections at Pioneer
Park had been ,below last year, al-
though the film rentals had been
higher.
In her remarks, the president
pointed out that part of a drain-
age scheme had been installed, but
that the high water level still pre-
sented a problem in prevention of
erosion at the base of the cliff.
She referred to Thomas Pryde's
appeal, on the floor of the Provin-
cial Legislature, for support of
this small park, financed through
the association, as heartening.
Miss Woods cited the instance
of a stranger, turning off the high-
way to see what Bayfield was like,
being so delighted with the discov-
ery of "the field with seats by the
lake^ that he planned to return
here.
It was decided to proceed with
the levelling of the grounds. J. M.
Stewart and H. H. Ormond were
named to look over the property

Receive More Financial Aid
Veterans of World War II and
the Special Force to Korea can
now get greater financial assist-
ance from the Veterans' and Act
of the Department of Veterans Af-
fairs.
An amendment to the Act was
passed during the last session of
Parliament and ;became effective
August 2, 1954.
Veterans vdishing to take up a
small holding can now be assisted
up to a maximum of $8,100, with a
down payment of $1,300. An appli-
cant for this scheme must have a
minimum of two acres and his
monthly payments are in the vi-
cinity of $28.00. If a veteran has
already purchased a property un-
der V.L.A. and has occupied his
house, then he is not eligible to
apply for the larger loan.
Formerly the maximum loan was
$6.000, which was barely sufficient
to complete house construction in
officers are: Charles Kanter, Mrs.
W. M. Purves, G. M. Galbraith,
:Miss Lucy R. Woods (president),
J. M. Stewart (vice-president), Jas.
P. Ferguson (secretary) and Miss
J. Metcalf (treasurer).
The board of directors decided to
order six more park benches.
The Pioneer Park Association is
a chartered non-profit organiza-
tion, formed to purchase and de-
velop Pioneer Park. All monies re-
alized from benefits, donations and
memberships are used to .improve
and keep this spot on Lake Huron
open to the public.
a manner desired by the veteran
and his wife unless the couple had
saved up considerable money.
For veterans who wish to take
up farming and are qualified• to do
so, the maximum amount of money
available is $14,500, with a down
payment of $2,100; formerly the
maximum was $6,004, but'anow with
$4;500 more to invest in a farm, a
wider field of selection is possible.
,Farmer Veterans who are now
established under V.L.A. are entit-
led to apply for this additional an
sistance. This loan cannot be us-
ed to buy livestock or machinery,
but will be available to carry out
conservation practices, renovate or
build new barns.
The additional assistance has
been provided to take care of the
increased cost of land and build-
ing materials since the $6,000 max;
imum loan was, established in 1945.
Another amendment to the Act
permits veterans ' to build their
own house on a city sized lot by
means of a straight repayable loan
from V.L.A., up to a maximum of
$8,000. Full details with respect to
this assistance will be issued lat-
er.
ater.
Veterans who wish to learn more
about these loans should contact

ent of Western Ontario, 1t. W.

tions for the loan will be accepted

The official opening, August 30th, of the Sir Adam Beck.
Niagara Generating Station No. 2, by Her Royal Highness
The Duchess of Kent is in a large measure a tribute to the
achievements of those who planned and constructed this
great development ... The Engineers, the Men of Labor, the
Suppliers and the Contractors, who contributed to, and made
possible the putting of this giant generating station into
operation, well ahead of schedule.
By December 31 next, 6 units of this plant, with an installed
capacity of 600,000 horsepower, will be in operation. Ulti-
mate 16 -unit capacity, including pumped storage, will be
1,828,000 horsepower.
Measured in horsepower the output of this plant is impressive.
Measured in human benefits it is even more significant.
New power for homes, for industrial plants, for business and
for farms ... more power for progress and better living for
the people of Ontario.

parties responsible made a astir,

But the residents of Markham&

The cities don't really need t6'Er
soil anyway, Markham residents
contend. There is sufficient of it
on most lots for a good lawn, but
it is covered with sand and graaek
when the cellar is dug. Then the
sand is covered with earth from
the country, to make the place fer-
tile enough to grow grass and)
flowers.
Although the boom in honer

of fertility more noticeable than
ever, it has gone on for years, an&

The whole matter could go muchu
further, however. Bach year we
are destroying large areas of Iame
and taking them out of cultivatlour.
It is hard to see how such things'
can be stopped, although they
might be mitigated considerably.
We are going to go on needing

not to mention industrial develop•

later rights in this matter will
have to be restricted. It is only ani
accident of history that we haver
