A Personal Message to You
from
Premier Leslie M. Frost...
Dear Friends:
Your community—along with a thousand others—forms the
keystone of Ontario’s progress and prosperity. As your popula
tion grows, Ontario grows. As your schools, hospitals, utilities
and .roads improve, Ontario improves. And as you and your
community prosper, Ontario forges ahead as the greatest
province in Canada.
* t 41
To keep Ontario—and all its people—going forward to greater
progress and prosperity, I ask you to re-elect your Progressive
Conservative government in the Provincial Election being held
on June 9th. Give the Progressive Conservative Candidate in
your riding the opportunity to carry on your government’s
excellent record of making Ontario a better place for you and
your family. As proof of that record, look at these facts:
1. This year, government grants to municipalities amount to
$165 million, or more than 44% of all provincial revenues. This
large sum of money will help build new schools, hospitals, roads,
bridges, community centres and other services. All this will be
done at a saving of about one-third of all the local tax bills.
2. We believe that every child in Ontario has an equal right to
free education—and that Ontario should have the finest schooling
in the country. In 1955, your government will spend over $102
million on education, including the greatest school building
campaign in our history.
I
3. Your Progressive Conservative Government has helped bring
the modern convenience and comfort of Hydro to over 85% of
•rural Ontario. Half the cost of bringing in rural Hydro lines has
been paid for directly by the province.
4. Jobs for over 175,000 people will be provided by the
$700 million construction program of the province and its
municipalities, which is now underway.
5. Your provincial government was the first in Canada to make
diRorimination illegal. Every citizen of Ontario—regardless of
his race, colour or creed—has the opportunity to live where he
likes, to work at any job he chooses, and to rise as high in life
as his own ability can take him.
6. Ontario’s government has provided grants for 74 new homes
for the aged, 25 thousand new hospital beds. We have secured
Old Age Pensions for all at 70 and for the needy at 65. Ontario
is the first province in Canada to provide pensions for the totally
disabled and the blind at 18.
The spectacular achievements-of the past three and a half
years have been accomplished with no new taxes—and with some
tax reductions. Ontario’s taxes are the lowest in Canada.
On June 9th, I ask for your support of my government. I urge
you—in your own best interests—to elect the Progressive
Conservative candidate in your riding ... for the prosperity and
progress of everyone in this great province. Forward ONTARIO!

SCHOOL SAFETY
VIEWS AIRED
Success or failure of any traffic
patrol system for the protection of
school children will depend on the
police officer in charge of the patrol.
That is the opinion of Clifford E.
Griesbach, chairman of the Listowel
Public School Board, who led a dis
cussion of the subject during a board
meeting which followed a recent
public meeting to study the traffic
problem.
The school board is not opposed to
a student patrol, the chairman em
phasized, but insisted it should be
police-supervised.
With or without a traffic patrol the
board feels there should be an edu
cational program in the classrooms,
combined with co-operation of par
ents.
