The Wingham Advance-Times, 1943-07-29, Page 3The people of Ontario have much to gain from the Progressive Conservative programme, outlined by the Leader, George Drew, on July 8th after months of consultation with farmers, merchants, drovers and all classes of citizens all over the Province. The Progressive Conservative Government will: 1 Establish county committees of leading farmers to plan production and distribution of farm products to meet domestic and foreign demands on a profitable basis—to assure for the farmers a fairer share of the national income. Eliminate speculation in livestock by converting stock yards into a province-wide publicly owned service. Relieve farmers and all home owners of one-half the school taxes. 4 Revise the whole provincial tax system to stimulate home improvements and house building. 5 To provide for every child all the education that can be usefully absorbed. 6 Introduce such vocational training in schools as will imbue farmers' children with pride in and love for agriculture as a basic and honourable calling; and fit them to make it in their own life time a more gainful occupation than it has been in the past. 7 Educate the rising generation to earn their own living and make their own way. 8 Improve the health of children by furnishing them with adequate medical and dental care. 9 Increase mothers' allowances and old age pensions. 10 Reduce the cost of, electric power to farms and homes. 2 3 The rural. population, which in more senses than one have their feet on the ground, will approve the note of authority and confidence which animates the Progressive Conservative platform. The farmers will welcome the advent of a strong aggressive administration to Queen's Park—an administration which will employ the most advanced economic and scientific methods to develop and utilize the agricultural, mining, forest, and other natural resources of the Province, to build up a strong provincial economy, furnish steady employment to men and women and establish social security for all classes. The Progressive Conservative Programme affirms that the moral, spiritual and material welfare of Ontario will be best assured under British democratic institutions and within the British Commonwealth of Nations and Empire. THE ISSUE IS NOW IN YOUR HANDS . . . VOTE FOR (1) The Progressive Conservative Candidate—(No Party in the history of this Province ever attracted a more representative group of candidates). The Party is pledged to carry out every commitment given in the Drew 22-Point Programme. Drew has faith in Ontario, faith in its people, faith in the &tire. Only Drew can win. (2) We want and need a change—vote for a change—but weigh the facts. Don't vote for a party whose aims you have never studied or who would destroy individual property rights and everything else you hold dear. Drew's programme 'is clear and sound. Don't cast a vote that will set Ontario back 100 years. Vote to assure George Drew a strong working majority in the Legislature. 4 Take the necessary time off on Wednesday, 4th of August, and mark your ballot for the Progressive Conservative Candidate. j io 1410' MAKE NTARIO STRONG Huron-Bruce Elect John' W.

Mussolini Quits Office London, — Dictator Benito Musso- lini resigned as premier of Italy and King Victor Emmanuel, in a possible bid for peace with onrushing Allied armies, assumed command of Italian forces for "a stand against those who have wounded the sacred soil of Italy." Marshal Pietro Badoglio, former chief- of-staff and never an admirer of Fac- ism, came out of retirement to succeed Mussolini as head of a military govern- ment accorded "full' power" by the king to do what is best for a war- shattered and weary country. The broken Mussolini went into the shad- ows after 21 years of dictatorship in which he had tried to recreate the ancient glories of Rome on a basis of Fascism and military alliances with Germany and Japan.
