KENNEDY SPEAKS AT SEAFORTH Dealing with what he called con- tinued erforts of the Drew Govern- ment to obtain better prices for products of the farmer, tion, T. L. Kennedy, Ontario minister of agri- culture, spoke in Cardno's Hall, Sat- urday afternoon in the Huron 'by- election. The minister• teamed up with Thomas Pryde, Progressive- eonservarive candidate in the ,elec- tion, to round out the second week of the campaign for the government forces. Mussell Bolton, of McKillop town- ship, was chairman of the meeting. ,lir. Kennedy urged the farmers to strive always to improve the quality of their Products in order co hold the 'United Kingdom and 01.1er foreign markets. At: the pre- sent time he said Canadian bacon;. cheese and poultry ranked high in the preference of Britons. "No place in the whole world shipped cattle to as many foreign countries as the province of Ontario did in 1946, said the minister. '`Cattle from this province were sold to 19 foreign countries." In promoting sales of Ontario farm products, his department had brought in many facilities for aiding the farmer to get good prices and lower his production costs. This year, he said, it was planned to sur- vey soil all the province in an effort to determine the reason for low protein values in pasture lands. l±xpeits with the O.A.C. had the remedy and if the poor pasture lands were brought up to a better quality the farmer's cost of feed for his cattle would be greatly reduced. In urging support for NIr. Pryde, the minister of agriculture said he was a ratan imbued tt'ith all the im- portant ideas of serving the electors of the riding. "Every man in public is pretty decent, otherwise he couldn't get the nomination," continued Mr. Ken- nedy. "I never knock any man or any party." Mi'. hennedy defended the Gov- ernment taking over the Toronto stockyards, a deal which has been under fire of Liberals in this elec- tion. That was another promise the Drew Government had kept, he stated, and said it was taken over because 94 per cent of all the stock is"es were owned in Chicago. The yard was being operated to make dividends for people in Chica- go, not for the benefit of the farmer declared the cabinet minister.

Today it is the lowest in the North American con- tinent. It is now run by men who are interested in dividends for the farmers and no longer are there hundreds of cattle dying down there." Mr. Kennedy maintained farmers have the right to ask their own prices for their products. He didn't believe ceilings should be set at the top but rather start at the bottom on the basis of the farmers' production costs and then work up. When ceil- ings were set at the top everyone had a swipe at them before the farmer finally found out what he would get. Farmers, he thought, would not continue to grow crops too long if ceilings on prices were made from the consumer's view. NU'. Kennedy spoke of a five-year program being undertaken by the Department of Agriculture to rid potatoes of scabs. This was only one phase of the work the Drew Govern- ment is doing' to help farmers, he urged. By 1949 the department hoped to provide a vaccination ser-_ t ire to every calf in the Province which would be protection against contagious abortion, which has pro- ven .o costly to cattle farmers in the past. Lc this connection be laud- ed the work the Ontario Agricultur- al College is doing year after year in farmers' interests. "1 want farmers to run their own business. for it is to the good of urban people if they do," said Mr.Kennedy in concluding. "If the farmer makes more motley his hap- piness and prosperity is the salva- tion of Ontario." Mr. Pryde, the candidate, stressed the increased grants made by the Drew Government to education. By assuming 50 per cent all school costs, Premier Drew, who is also minister of education, made it pos- sible for smaller areas to pay teachers better salaries, stopping the drift of competent educationists to larger centres. • In Seaforth, the taxpayers would have had to pay last year a rate 16 mills higher than the present, if the government had not increased the grants. The Government had shifted the burden of taxation from proper- ty owners, he claimed. Mr. Pryde said 150 miles of new hydro lines would he built in Huron this year as more and more rural areas were getting better facilities from the Government. Road subsdiies, too, had been in- creased to municipalities by the - Provincial Government. In 1948 the riding received $1.33,000, whereas in 1947 the amount paid by Ontario was $392,000, he pointed out. Mr. Pryde doubted if the Liberals world ever be able to lop off threent cents from the gasoline tax. Not e single province had lowered the tax on gas after the Dominion Govern- ment proved out of this field of tax- ation. The money obtained by the tax was needed to improve and expand the highways COMMUNICATION Editor The Seaforth Newe: Dear Sir,--Tiute marches on, this is one of several articles appearing' in support of 0 community centre for Seaforth and the surrounding townships. At this time of writing we find a little progress being made, some spade work clone, people seem int- meeted, honestly and sincerely. In following the newspapers fo_' word of what other towns are doing along this line, we find that Cees water, Hespeler, Wingham, Luck- now and Paisley have planned pro- jects ranging from $12,000 to $60,- 000. Teeswater, a village of 800 people, has advertised for tenders' on a thirty thousand' dollar project. Early last fall the first ',if these articles was written. At that time we maintained that the leaders of our communities were betraying a greet trust. Of this single point ire are now more convinced than ever. We draw your attention to the re- port of the Lions Club in November. By radio and press glowing accounts were given of what they had ac- complished. We 010 very much aware of the good world they have done at the park, it is first on the list as an at- traction for visitors, but the Lions mark ost only pool can four months of usetat the the year. We acknowledge that the Lions have done much other good work, but when one takes into consideration the fact that they have access to al- most unlimited ability, wealth and talent, we feel that they have much unfinished business. Let us reminisce for a moment. WINTHROP Thinking back through the years NORTH McKILLOP Mr. and Ml's. Joseph Manley and family were visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Regele, Sunday even- ing. Mrs. William Dennis entertained some ladies at a quilting on Monday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Thornton and Mrs. Edward Regele attended the funeral of little Joyce Thorn- ton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Thornton of Mitchell, on Thursday. Mrs. William Dennis was visiting with Mrs. Robert McMichael on. Sun- day afternoon. Mrs. Joseph: Dennis visited Sun- day evening with Mr. and Mas: Alvin Stimore. Mr. Elmer Dennis is attending the Plowmen's Association at Toronto. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1948 • VARNA Ott January 28 there passed away in Wyandotte General Hospital, Detroit, Cecil E. Wiley, after an illness of ten days. Deceased suffered a very heavy stroke front which. Ice failed' to re• cover, Ho was born 011 June 24, 1895, on the Wiley homestead on the Pari' Line, Stanley, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wiley. Deceased won't to the States in 1926, and on May 10, 1940, was married to alt's. Frances Buster, Ile leaves to mourn his loss his wife and step- daughter; Mrs, C. Grimm, Detroit, one sister, Mrs. Gertrude Reid, 'Varna. A Amos sister Agnes (Mrs, Keyes) Pre- deceased him In 1925. The funeral was held from Gierback funeral home, River Rouge. Service conducted by Rev. Mr. thicket, minister of the Pres- byterian Church of which deceased was a member. Interment in Oak Ridge cemetery. The sympathy of the community is' extended to Mrs. Reid. in her bereavement: The many friends of Mr. Orrin Dowson will be pleased to know he has returned from Toronto whore he underwent an operation for spine trouble. We are glad to report Orrin is home and quite himself. Mr. and Mrs. Soper and- fancily. spent Sunday• with relatives and friends in Straffordsville. The world day of prayer will be ob- served in the United Church, Varna, Friday, February 13, at 3 p.m. The many friends of Mr. Henry Ald- winkle will be sorry to know he is at present in Victoria Hospital, London. you may recall names of Seaforth athletes who left their stark in the sporting and business worlds. Brow- sing through Jackson's attic we found names like Meredith, Nen,' Smith, Freeman, Baldwin, Stewart, Cresswell,McGeoch. Jackson, Bell, Johnston. McLean, Hamilton, Beth- une. McDougall, Ewing, Reid, Dick, Willis, McGosh, Sills, Hays, Best, Muir, Duncan, Reeves, Rennie, Hab- kirk, lfcKay and Weiland, all great names to Seaforth. We all recall too the good old days of Junior Farmer Hockey when clubs from Hensall, Kippen, Tuck - ersncith, Dublin, Winthrop, Milburn and St. Columban clashed in conn - bat: from the drop of the puck it was a veritable Donnybrook. A team spirit was created in many who never before were confronted with the obligation of getting along with the other fellow. We maintain it wasn't the age but the spirit. We believe that the bene- fit of organized sport is that fellows can learn the art of team play. Teamwork is a method of produc- tion even more productive than ma- chines. We draw your attention to the fact that a committee is at work. They will be calling on you for sup- port. When approached we hope you will feel honoured to contribute in some way to the cause. Recently we read that the key to a ;successful life is "Be honest and serve your fellow -man." We think the fellow had something. BUZZ FINNIGAN. Egmondville, Feb. 9th.
