"Everything we do conâ€" cerns people and my wish and hope is that people in high offices would realize this We in Canada stand on a place so narrow that one step to the left will plunge us into chaos while a+similar step to the right would give us the greatest prosâ€" perity of any era." _ _ _ _ Mr. R. D. Jorgenson, M.L.A., and ficresident of the ‘Socia® Credit ague of Alberta conducted the lecture accompanied by Mr. Orvis A. Kennedy, National Organizer, viceâ€"president of the Social Credit League of Alberta and former member of the House of Commons. Other speakers were Frederick Neale, president of the Social Creâ€" dit Organization of Toronto and William S. Ovens, viceâ€"president, Social Credit League of Ontario. H. H. S. Emel, recently appointâ€" ed Federal Social Credit candidate for North Waterloo, presided. Mr. Emel is the first Social Crediter to be nominated in Ontario for the Domtnion elections. "Social Credit Not Socialism" "Social Credit is not another form of socialism", R. D.

He stated that in 33 years Alberta will be entirely free of all with Premier Aberhart a month be-] fore he died. "Premier Aberhart at that time told me that there were three stages by which the old parties would try to destroy us. . ‘"The stages," the speaker said, "were ridicule, an attempt to deâ€" stroy our character, and third, to be ignored. We have weathered them all and Social Credit is still in power in Alberta." _ _ _ Mr. Jorgenson closed his speech with "the Press of Canada have alâ€" most entirehy‘ ifinored Social Creâ€" dit in Canada, but Canada can no l‘o_ng‘er afford to ignore Social Creâ€" hungry thirties." "If it is returned you will only be getting back what has been stoâ€" lel_:dfrom you for years" the speaker said. "Victoay Bonds sold during the Second World War are now nearly 85% owned by the banking instiâ€" tutes in Canada, and this is wrong," Mr. Kennedy said. "I am not inâ€" citing you to rebellion, but I am asking you to think," the Social Credit organizer said. _ _ _ dit." H. H. S.

Believe New Seed Will Help Pastures Special seed soon will be availâ€" able in Ontario to increase the proâ€" tein and calcium content of pasâ€" tures. The Ontario Agricuiltural College has been developing the seed for three years and there is now enough for general use. _ The seed is part of a widespread study of pastures, said to be the first of its kind anywhere in the worid, and conducted by the Onâ€" tario Research Foundation and the Ontario Af’icultun! Couegle. It is believed that development first time experts are concentratâ€" ing on supplying adequate protein and calcium in pastures. Tests have been taken in selected pasâ€" tures during the summer and the protein rate found to be from 10 to 20.4 per cent and calcium from .32 to 1.2 per cent. _ _ 80,000 Britons Flying To Australia It is believed that development of the seed will begin a new trend in milk production, because for the An official of the Department of Agriculture explained that when the protein content in pastures is increased, cost of producing milk goes down, and when the calcium content is jncreased a better grade of milk for children is obtained. LONDON.â€"The Evening Stanâ€" dard said recently in a despatch from its New York correspondent that between 80,000 and 90,000 British emigrants will be flown to Australia in the "biggest aerial migration in history" under plans now being made by the Australian Government. Farmers Worried By Increased Price Of[ Feed Grain TORONTO.â€"Removal of ceilings on mill feeds and the resultant jump in prices is noted as the latest farm worry in the weekly crop rerort of the Ontario Departâ€" ment of Agriculture. ___ _ . Huron County reported the price jump had put feeders "in a tough spot". Farmers in Lambton were selling pullets due to the difficulty in obtaining oats, and coarse firains were reported scarce in Middlesex, with prices on mill feeds up $10 Dairymen in Welland were worrying last week about feed grain re?luiremems for dairy herds during the winter months. Peterâ€" borough summed the situation up in this way: "With new prices on feed, there is n:gain concern about costs of production and the amount of poultry and livestock that may be raised next year." Glenq}irry farmers were "appreâ€" hénsive", according to the report from that county. _ _ _ In Leeds farmers have started cutting down on hog production because of low grain production and anticipation of higher feed prices.

Final quantity of spring wheat to be approved for export is exâ€" pected to be about the same as the 900,000 bushels approved last year. It is not yet possible to establish even a preliminary figure for the export of oats, barliey and flaxâ€" seed, the department said. â€" Because of local shortages in Canada, farmers were urged to arrange for their supplies as soon as li:votw.ible. Seed processors inâ€" ten intshto purchase for export, on the other hand, were urged to make certain the seed is surplus to local and adjacent domestic reâ€" quirements before moving subâ€" stantial amounts from production areas, so as to leave the seed where it is needed. This would obviate the possible need for redistribution throughout Canada at higher handling costs of seed which had been assembled on the assumption that export permits would be granted.

The meetâ€" ing was addressed by Dr. A. E. Berry of the Department of Health and J. N. Simpson, Toronto, assisâ€" tant to G. G. Reid, consulting engiâ€" neer, who drew the m plan for these systems. was a splendid attendanee of interested Dr. Berry introduced by . was Reeve W. R. Hostettler and he gave a report on the situation as viewed by the Department of Health, which, he stated, had never seen as much activity in wateâ€" works undertakings as at the presâ€" ent time., There are definite reasons, he stated, for installing waterworks, It is known that typhoid fever and summer "Au" are carried by potenâ€" tial water germs, There are indications that polioâ€" myelitis and infectious jaundice may be spread through water and sewage, he said. It is also an estabâ€" lished fact that industries are not attracted to towns which do not have waterworks. Several years ago a test was made of 224 wells in New Hambur; and it was discovered that 70 peg cent were seriously affected by contamination. _ ‘"Sanitary condiâ€" tions are not all they could be in New Hamburg and the time has arâ€" rived to take action," he said. Dr. Berry told of how most waâ€" ierworks and sewage plants are financed. He admitted that the cost at present is high but the low inâ€" terest rates at the present time helped to offset the higher costs. _ Mr. J. N. Simpson, who assisted in drawil? the plan for the waterâ€" works and sewage disposal gave a detailed report of this plan. When the plan was drawn in 1944 the esâ€" timated cost was $196,000. The present cost would be $313,000 with the waterworks alone cosing $166,â€" 400. Figuring the interest rate at four per cent it would mean an annual cost to the average ratepayâ€" er of $73 a year. . It is estimated that an average of 125,000 gallons of water would be used daily. The waterworks plan would serve every home in the vilâ€" lage. However there are a few homes in the extreme west end of Huron St., could not have sewage disposal without an added cost. Dr. Berry cleared up many of the problems which were in the minds of the rntepn{ers in attendance. One matter cleared up was that neither the provincial or Dominion Governments is assisting in any works of this kind at present.
