President's Report

In his president's report Col. E. W. Johnstone stated that the pro- gress made had been very encour- aging. Due to the late spring and wet summer many of the contes- tants were unable to complete the work they had set out to do but again there were many who made splendid improvements in their home surroundings.

The Public Hall contests had to be discontinued due to lack of funds but through the generosity of R. T. Holman Ltd. Public School contests were continued; they prov- ed to be quite successful with 21 schools taking part.

Concluding his address Col. John- stone said:

"It is the opinion of our Society that if the drift of our young peo- ple to the larger cities is to be stemmed and if we hope to retain more of our better educated boys and girls on the farms where they are greatly needed to give leader- ship in community life it is not only necessary to have attractive surroundings but homes with mod- ern conveniences such as, running ivuter and electricity. I think that it should be apparent to all that Only by a concerted effort can we hope to retain our best young peo- ple in the rural areas and on the farms where they are so vitally needed in the social and economic life of the nation."

‘GIJVERNMENT

(Coiltinued from Page i) expressed his "Zraliflcniion at the rcsull. of the voting" and of "the high level on which his opponents conducted their campaign.

"Tho result of the election bears cut my campaign in which I suggested that the people wanted an opportunity to protest against the actions of the present govern- niellt.

"In no other way can you ex- plain such a nialority in this

riid not vote party but they thought a protest was in the inter- est of the country."

He sald: "Although the result must be disappointing to them. they must appreciate the superb support they received" from voters in the lid-mite long constituency. Mr. Nowlan added. however, that "the result has come so quickly that I have had little time in which to prepare a statement." Mr. shew said he would like to congratulate Mr. Nowlan on "his remarkable victory and to wish him every success and luck in his ‘ the difficult
