GINTLEDIEN,
In consequence of the dissolution of Parliament, .you are again
eaIlod upon to exercise the elective franchise, in choosing a person to represent you in the Legislative AS.
serably of this Province.
At the' urgent request of the Central Committee of the Reform
Association of these United Counties, and at thesoiieltalion of many personal friends, I have beets induced again
to taw myself as a Candidate for your suffrages and support in the approaching contest.
During the two sessions of the Parliament just concluded, I have
• endeavoured to pursue a stmightferward and independent course, nod to fulfil the pledges which T gave at the
time of my election.
Mir Views upon the great. questions before the country are • so • well known to you, having boon frequently expressed on various oceaskins, that I consider it unnecessary to,
allude to them at any length in this address.
With regard 'to Representation by Population, I may state that,
if re-elected,I will, as heretofore, invariably vote for the liiliiption id. ilia: principle, whenever, and by whomsoever
introduced. 1 com,ider that the carp Mg mil' this inemmio is the unIst likely means' of securing justice to Upper
Ganada,.and; therefore, any Administration which will wake this It quption shall receive my support.
I am "strongly opposed to any further increase of the Provincial
dcbt, and will loseito opportunity of advocating the most rigid eeonomy in the public. expenditure,
ways, howevt+; bearing in mind the necessity of sue'l an outlay its may be required for the develope.i
ment of the resources of the country. I am decidedly averse to the • practice, so frequently resorted to
'by former Administrations, of spending Public money ‘‘ithkeit the previous knowledge and sanction of
Parliament.
• Firmly relying upon the loyalty and patriotism of the people of
this Province. I shall support any efficient and reontenical measure which will tend to oneourOge the
" Volunteer .Movement, and which may be required to place the country in a proper state of defence.
Believing that the prosperity of this Proviiice is, in a great mea- sure, dependent upon the speedy settlement of the catintry, I will advocate the.sale of the Crowe
Lands to actuai settlers on easy term..
T will advocate the improvement and amendment, from time to
anc,,Mnikiripal and .assessment laws. and will endeavor to get a measure passed for legalizing
,,cht.. assessments beretoftire matte upon unpatented wild lands, amid for the more speedy collection of non-
resident taxes. • Whatever will tend to pre note the best • interests of the
Agricultural, ConanCrcial, and Manufacturing classes. shall receive my eardial suppOrt. I will con-
tinue to urge upon the Government and Parliament of this country the necessity of.aiding in the con',
structiou of adequate Confiner:eta! I I arbors Wong the, eastern coast of Lake Huron, the want of Which
has been so disastrous to life and property from year to year.
Contributing so largely to the general revenue of the Province, as they do, the inhabi- tants ol-these United Counties ere justly entitled cc rote iv increased Harbor acconottodation, by which the value of their agricultural products would be greatly
enhanced on the one hand, and the cost of goods required fur house consuutptiwt proportionably lessensti on the other.
Owing to the great size of the oonstituency,andthe time appointed for the eledtidnbeing
so near at hand, 1 will not be able to parts of the Counties, but will eadeavoitopee as many of the electors as possible.
/ remain, gentlemen,
Your 'Obedient servant,
JAMES DICKSON.

noise,can
contribute
to deafness
The .farmer wearing ear-
phones as he guides'his tractor
along the furrows is not listen-
ing to Beethoven's Ninth Sym-
phony. He is turning down an
invitation to deafness.
NOise from all types of farm-
machinery is not only irritating,
it is also a form of pollution
that leads to deafness for the
'operator if the proper precau-
tions are not taken. Earphone-
type ear protectors, at from $7,
to $12 a set, are one of the
cheapest methods farmers .can
use to protect their ears against
harmful noise levels, says P. H.
•BOmford, ,head of the Engineer-
ing SectiOn, RidgetOwn college
of Agricultural. Technology.
Tests have shown that trac-
tor operators, exposed for ex-
tended periods' to the noise le-
vels generated by their -requip-
Ment, become increasingly deaf
over the years, when compared
to other people their own age in
different_ occupations. Tractor
manufacturers are , becoming
more aware of this problem. Some
are now offering tractors with
noise-reducing cabs and other
sound-damping features. UnfOr-
tunately, such items can boost
the cost of the machinery to the
farmer and make_rnoving parts
less accessible for servicing.
You could be working in con-
ditions that could cause perma-
nent hearing damage. Ask yonr-
self these questions: Is it pos-
sible to carry on a normal
,conversation while working on, or
near, a.piece of farm machin-
ery? After work is finished,
is there a ringing. noise in your
ears? °Do your ears feel plugged?
Is it hard to 'understand what-
people are saying?
Depending on the answers to
these questions, there is a pos-
sibility that permanent hearing
damage could result from .re-
peated exposure to machinery
noise. No one is Immune to
noise-Ind:treed dearness. In your
own interest, find out how' you
can protect yourself.
