Station wagons, Customs and Custom 300's have a 116 -inch wheelbase. "There has been no sacrifice of headroom inside the car, in spite of their reduced height," M3. Willey said. "The new frame ex- tends to the sides of the car, and this permits the floor to be lowered inside the frame rails. "The design and styling are new from the ground up. Every dimen- sion is changed. Wheels, frame, rear axle, drive shaft, engines, and every inch of sheet metal in every body style are definite departures from past models," he explained. Riding ease has been greatly improved by using a longer, wider frame with lower pressure tires on wider treads, and employing redesigned ball -joint sus'pensi'on in front and outboard -mounted longer leaf springs in back. "Durability is built into the 1957 Ford through stronger alloy metals, greater use of insulation and sound -deadening materials, longer - wearing fabrics and plastics, and strenthening of niech'anical parts," Mr Willey pointed out. For 1957, a special high per- formance V-8 engine is availableas an optional power plant on all Ford cars in the Custom 309, -Fair - lane and Fairlane 500 series. The engine, called the Thunderbird Special, develops 245 horsepower, and is equipped with a fourbarrel low silhouette carburetor. Standard engine, for the Fail lane and station wagon series is the 212 h.p. Thunderbird V-8. A 190 h.p. V-8 is standa.d for the Custom and Custom 300 series. Both have two-harrel carburetors. In addition, the 144 hip. Mileage Maker six is available in Custom, Cu. tom 300 a nd some wagons. The Thunder- bird Special engrhe is available e'nly with Fordomaiti,c traumas- sion.sa, All other engines can be ordered with 'stafdard, overdrive or Fordomatic transmissions. Ford's new styling starts with wade hooded headlights and a for- ward slanting grille, and includes streamlined wheel openings, a windshield that wraps further around the sides for better visibil ity, distinctive fins .at .the rear, and contoured sides that give the car a sculptured look.

GODERICH gar DRY CLEANERS WEST ST, .0+1e„ 12 2 C.R,LOWERY, PROP. { Free Cattle Vaccination Now Effective In Area The Brucellosis Act, which carne into effect Monday, represents an- other forward step in the fight against the cattle disease. Under the act, the cost of vaccination of calves in designated areas is to be borne entirely by the Province of Ontario. Included in the designated areas are all townships ,n Huron County except McKillop, Hay and Usborne. Brucellosis, or contagious abor- tion, has been causing heavy losses in the cattle population, and the infection may cause undulant fever in humans. A total of 245 townships are designated as supervised areas under the new . act which was passed at the last session of the Ontario legislature. These - are townships in whleh by-laws were passed under the Brucellosis, Con- trol Act of 1953. Included, in the total are all townships in the counties of Brant. Bruce, Dundas, Dunham, Grey, Ilaldimand, Halton, Oxford, Peel, Prince Edward and York. Other townships may be added from time to time but, before any township can became a supervised area, at least two-thirds of the cattle owners must sign petitions favoring the adoption of s'i compul- sory calfhood vaccination program,, an action which has been taken by the cattle owners in the townships that have been designated super- vised areas. Under the plan, the cost of vaccination in supervised areas will he borne by the Province of Ontario. As in the nasi. the vaccine will be supplied by the Canada Department of Agri- culture. In order to facilitate ,operations, every practicing veter- inarian will be given an opportun- ity of entering into an agreement with the Minister of Agriculture if all practitioners take advantage of this offer as expected, each cattle owner in a supervised area will be able to get his female aWes yasciiiated,_ at ainalirect cost to himself, ,'by the veterinarian of his own choosing. The plan will be administered by the live stock commissioner, W. P. Watson, and his assistant, Dr. Harold Wortoa, the provincial veterinarian. "During recent years Ontario has made significant progress in reduc- ing the incidence of Brucellosis as evidenced by the fact that 244,924. calves were vaecaaated in 1955," saki Agriculture Minister W. A. Goodfellow. "However the, fight must go on at all increased rate, not only because of the economic loris which the disease is cau.ing at home, but to preserve our ex- port markets as well. "Last year Canada exported 41,691 ,head of purebred and grade cattle for breeding purposes, al- most 85 per cent of which origin- ated in Ontario. The majority went to United States, a market which can only be retained if we have animals that are free from disease, and particularly Brucel- losis."

Others also get paid, including those who work in iron mines, coal mines, limestone quarries, on railways, steamships, motor trucks, in sales offices, and elsewhere. salaries. In fact, all prices are mostly wages and So there is an upward pressure on prices with every increase in wages, though investment inbetter equip- ment does help to absorb such wage increases. No one can afford to be indifferent to rising industrial Wage costs, for these tend -'to lead to higher pr=ices. As users of steel in many forms, all farmers in particular are adversely affected when higher city wages raise pro- duction costs and selling prices. THE STEEL COMPANY OF .
