Gaunt Nominated
c:oatinued from Page One
year, he will not have trouble
being re-elected. He said
people arc fust as zealous this
year and feel it is time for a
change of government. He
claimed 20 years is a long time
for one party to stay in power,
and said this fact is the biggest
asset for the Liberal party.
The Liberals, he stated, had at
the time the election was call-
ed, 75 candidates in the field,
and one of the hest selections
of people ever to come forth
for the party,
The Liberal program he said
is comprehensive and progress-
ive covering education, medi-
care, agriculture and welfare,
and is backed by a real party
organization.
Referring to the Liberal agri-
cultural plank, Mr. Gaunt said
times have changed greatly and
the province is now an indust-
rial economy, which is putting
great pressure on the farmer.
It will be the responsibility of
the Liberal party to assist with
these problems. He said the
party plans to form a farm dev-
elopment department to pro-
vide long-term, low-interest
credit for farmers to provide
working capital for expansion
of the farming industry. He
pointed to the gas tax and said
the system of rebates is too
cumbersome and would be
changed by a Liberal govern-
ment. He also promised that
the Liberal party would re-
move the nuisance factor from
provincial sales tax. In con-
clusion, he said he had enjoy-
ed his year at Queen's Park
and asked for continued support.
GUEST SPEAKER
Guest speaker Robert Nixon
said he has become a close
friend of Mr. Gaunt during the
past year, and he claimed that
the Huron -Bruce member is
hardworking and does not waste
time. The party is proud of
him and urged the same kind
of support for the candidate
this year as had been shown in
the by-election.
In his address Mr, Nixon
flayed the government on the
subject of education. He said
that that the Conservatives feel
what was good enough in 1943
is good enough in 1903, The
increase in population, he
claimed, has been a steady
embarrassment to the P, C,
government as far as education
is concerned, for there has at
no time been adequate facili-
ties for the growing number of
students, It should be the re-
sponsibility of the government
to provide training for students
beyond high school. He claim•
ed that in 1970 there will he
30, 000 students who will not
he able to obtain university
education because of the lack
of facilities and planning by
the P.C. government.
Mr. Nixon also maintained
that in many areas, due to
acceleration in elementary
schools, many children reach
Grade 13 in 12 years. This
system should be available to
all children he maintained,
and matriculation should be
made available in 12 years
under a re -vamped curriculum.
It's time the problem is given
a close look, the speaker said.
Referring to the party, Mr.
Nixon said that at no time has
the Liberal organization in
Ontario been in better shape,
and on the basis of candidates
the election is as good as won.
He praised the leader, Mr,
Wintermeyer, and said the
party is in a fine state of readi-
ness
eadiness for the election, In clos-
ing he urged the delegates to
talk political issues with their
friends and to get out and work
for their candidate.
Mr, Nixon was thanked by
Donald Blue, who said the
speaker has the ability to be
one of the great leaders. As
campaign manager for Mr.
Gaunt, Mr. Blue asked for sup-
port.
White Pine Weevil
Now Showing Up
Signs of white pine weevil
attack are now showing up on
young white pine and are part-
icularly noticeable where young
trees have become established
in plantations or in open fields
and on roadsides.
Withered terminal shoots or
leaders infested with these in-,
sects now have a shepherd's
crook appearance and are
brown in colour in contrast
with the natural bluish green of
the rest of the tree. This
withering has resulted from the
feeding of tiny, whitish larvae
hatched in May from eggs laid
on the terminal shoot earlier
in the spring.
Since white pine is a highly
regarded species, foresters urge
that every effort be made to
control the infestation, At this
stage, control consists of re-
moval of infested leaders,
collecting them in a sack to be
burned or otherwise destroyed.
Further improvement of the
form of trees so infested may
be effected at this time by
removal of all but the domin-
ant lateral from the upper
whorl of the tree . This will
cause the tree to develop the
single stem characteristic so
necessary for future sawlog
production: Infested trees that
do not receive this treatment
become stunted, bushy, multi -
stemmed and are a considerable
source of further build-up of
weevil populations in the area.
PLUMBING THE DEPTHS
One of the first "instrument9'
used by navigators was a pole
used to determine water depths.
If the pole didn't touch any-
thing, it was safe for the craft
to proceed, For gauging deep-
er waters, a weight attached to
a "plumb line" was used. As
early as the second century B.
C. , the plumb line was used to
measure depths of up to 1, 000
fathoms (6, 000 feet),
