' The Province wants to send out, within a week, the cheques under its Guaranteed Annual Income Programme for those 65 years of age and over, and it's increased Workmen's Compensa- tion Board pensions. In the last 10 days there have been 28 Government Bills intro- duced. A total of 47 pieces of proposed legislation were introduced during March and April with about 70 during May and the first three weeks of June. The motion to sit unlimited hours, plus the great rush .of urgent legislation, in closing days of the session brought objections from the Opposition who branded it 'a travesty of parliamentary democracy.' The Province is considering decentralizing the administration of its new 50% land speculation tax. The Revenue Minister Arthur Meen said he was looking at such centres as Windsor, London, Hamilton and Ottawa to handle tax clearances. There have been complaints that it is taking up to six weeks to obtain clearance from the Ministry where no tax is payable on property transactions. Until now the Province has been accepting affidavits from people dealing with property values, but within two weeks it will be in a position to use assessment data to run its own checks on values. The Provincial Government is imposing 'a series of little Queen's Parks on Ontario Girl's to Barbara Byler. In May a team of 6 bowlers attended the Bowlerama held in Guelph were ten teams from Southwestern Ontario participated. The Wingham 'Recreation Committee arranged a week's swimming lessons for the pupils at the end of June. The YACMR Club members acted as volunteer helpers too for this event. The last day of school this year was a special day. The half day students enjoyed a party at school and the all day students, accompanied by their teachers, sone parents, the YACMR volunteers and some other volunteers took a bus trip to Niagara Falls. The bus went by way of the scenic route stopping at Queenston Heights for a picnic lunch, then on to see the Falls. The show at Marine Land and the Game Farm was a courtesy of the Wingham Association. OPP has Community Officer in Huron municipalities in the guise of restructuring local government', Liberal Leader Robert Nixon charged during debate on second reading of a Government Bill restructuring the County of Ox- ford. He said that regionalization is making .local government insensitive and remote to area 'residents. 'We've got big Government in Ottawa, we've got big Govern- ment here with a budget of over' $8 billion in the Province of Ontario and 70,000 employees and now you are moving down into: the municipal level', Mr. Nixon continued. Mr. Nixon said the costs of local government have risen sharply in all parts of the Province where restructuring has taken place. In Ottawa Carleton, expendi- tures went up 81% in the first four years after regionalization. The rise in Niagara region was 61% in three years. In Muskoka spending had gone up 76% in one year. My city friend Harry said the other day to me that my son, who wants to take over the farm some day, is in a really good position to do so. 'Listen to the politicians. All parties are promising that when they get the power they will do something to make it easy for a young man to start farming,' he said, It just so happened that I was reading the Canadian Countryman of May 1936. A Mr. Staples writes: 'What hope is there for a young man who has little capital to begin with?, (To begin and continue farming.) The answer must be that under present conditions there is little. Nowadays a farmer must have a considerable cash income from his,operation. By no other means can he pay taxes, professional services, procure clothing and groceries, machinery, feed, seed,, buildings and fence repairs and all the other host of items that enter into farm necessaries,' I could keep on quoting and it could as well have been written today about mortgages and farm credit, interest, etc. So I told Harry all this and asked him if he still had so much confidence in promises made during an election campaign. 'Well,' he said, 'if that problem already existed 38 years ago, both major parties have had a chance to do something aboiitij. I begin to share your skepticiane When Moses, declared the meat of the pig unclean, he made a law that has it's repurcussions felt today. Many old wives tales derive from this law. There is skill , another part of the Bible that does' `have a bearing on todays farmers' image. The same Mr. Staples from the Canadian Countryman quotes from the wisest man who ever lived, Solomon, the thirty eighth chapter of Ecclesiasticus, verse 25: How can he get wisdom : who holdeth the plow, that glories in the goad, that drives oxen and is occupied in their labours, a n d whose talk is of bullocks? He gives his mind to making furrows and is diligent to give the cattle fodder...such shall not be sought , for in the public council nor sit, high in the congregation; they. shall not sit on the judges' seat: nor understand the sentence ofki judgement; they cannot declare-, justice and judgement; and they shall not be found where parables. are spoken. In other words: The farmer is no more than a rather stupid hayseed. I wonder what : the secret opinion is of many city`: people today. The Golden Circle School closed their school year with several happy and active events. In fact the whole year has been ;in especially happy one due to the move into the Wingham Public School. In this new• situation the pupils have extra advantages-the advantage of using the gymnasium regularly, of attending the assemblies, of having a weekly period in the library with the librarian, and a weekly lesson from the school music teacher, and of the play= ground being shared by both schools. Several of the Golden Circle pupils participated in the W.P.S. Track and Field Day, also in the Junior and Senior Play Days, In May all the pupils of the Golden Circle School were guests of the Kinsmen Club at the Circus in town. Another happy event in May was the Special Fishing Derby put on by the Sportsmen Club and enjoyed by those who attended. In June the pupils were recipients of tickets, for the Circus in Goderich through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. J. Salter. The school arranged a trip to take in this event and a sightseeing tour of Goderich. A trip to Story Book Gardens was a highlight when the pupils from the three T.R. schools in. Huron County along with their teachers and YACMR volunteers made up a 'bus load of 68 and journeyed to London where they were guests of the Jacee Club at the Story nook Gardens. The pupils of the Golden Circle School bowl once a week hi town. They are members of the National Youth Bowling League. Fourteen pupils participate. Through the year each pupil earned badges for the •high scores, increase in scores, 'etc. Trophies were presented at the end of the BoWling Season, The trophy for the overall highest Bowler went to Alvy Morningstar for a high single score of 298 and an average score of 183, The Senior Boy's trophy went to Michael Zirrirtiermari, the Sertiot Girl's to Nellie Veldhorst, the Junior Boy's to Steve Millen and the Junior Golden Circle ends happy year Huron County now has a Community Services Officer working for the O.P.P. in Huron County.
