My. Mathlcson‘: Letter

Nor is the letter in the local press last week, from Mr. D. L. liiatliieson. any more indicative of conservative policy in this regard. Mr. Mathleson suggests that the proper method was to convene the Legislature. But this is the method oi delay, a delay during which the loss lo our farmers in this prov- iilre would have mounted even lugher. The Jones Government pieierrcd action to delay. and took o.cr the plant. _

Of vDLlIéC, Mr. Mathleson i5 qtiic frank in stating that hi! opinion on the matter is not un- biascdc-he admits quite freely Liili he has been engaged as legll itullsel for the Union. and as a ituscquence tho later submissions in his letter. allegedly made on be- half oi the farmers, must be taken \\‘llh a grain ol salt. Mr. lvlathiesun is much too experienced and astute s lawyer to pretend that he can argue both sides of a case at the £3016 time. You cannot serve two masters.

TE AWAMUTU. N. Z., Nov. 16- iOPl-New Zealandb dairy irldus- try ia conducted on o, highly m. Ionized basis and under the gov- ernment's guaranteed price system the dairy farmer's reward- is cal- culated with the greatest exact- ness-down to three decimal places 0ft! Penny for a pound of butter-

Farmers complain. however, that though the costs of the average farmers are so carefully calculated by an elaborate fonmula from the mass of statistics, no provision ex- ists in the system for those un- foreseen contingencies which, beset every farmer.

That mythical New Zealander—

"The average efficient dairy farm- or" of the guaranteed price form- ula-was apparently so efficient that his heed for herd replaceme is was extremely small, declared A. J. Sinclair, secretary-manager of the Te Awamutu Co-pperatlve Dairy 00., in an address to farmers. "His cows never suffer frrm imammitis. mastitis, sterility or other aihncnis ir-‘Aich (‘M15’) the ordinary dal-ry farmer to fz-squcnt saleysrds," he added.

"His pic: never die mysteriously on his hands. but continue to pro- vldc m abilndnncc of the type bac- on ilustrated in thc magazine ad- vertisements. He has never been known to buy a horso fated to fall ln a drain and break its neck in the middle of the feeding-out season.

"Hay and ensllage crops always adorn his fields in profusion. When he is called on to raise money bc- cause his water supply has rolled he can always write out a cheque without mortgaglng his current revenue 1'.‘ months ahead.

“The only information I cannot supply about th's man is his homo anci- address. I have ncvcr bccn able to find him."

l 1ft: to trust a farmer Premier and a farmer Government to fight their battles? Could they not more readily rely on a farmer Premier to go all out on their behalf? Nor will the farmers of this Province trust the elusive will-o'- ilie-wisp known as the -C. C. F. Party. When Premier Jones an- nounced that his Government would abolish land and road taxes, land the Conservative Leader, parrot-like, followed his example» old the C. C. F. also adopt this yiank of the Liberal Manifesto? Not yet;~and l will tell you why. in Saskatchewan, the only Prov- liice of Canada with a C. C. i‘. Government. land taxes have been ncreased until today the land taxes on the farmers of Sask- atchewan are the highest iii all Canada. Is this to be the platform of the C. C. F. Party in this province alsoz-higher land taxes? Even if the C. C. F. should now agree to abolish land taracs in Prince Ed- uard Island, who could rcly on their promise in the light of what has happened in Saskatchewan? Although it is hardly necessary for us to remind ourselves that the C. C. P. cannot win in any event. so we need not concern ourselves ‘with their platform, if any. i May l repeat that the Liberal IParty in this Province exists m

lsuve the interests of the people-

ss I. whole, not the interests of any particular class.or group in |Prince Edward Island. or of any particular section of the Province.

' Coal Bonus

i An instance of this ‘is found in a recent act of the ‘bones Gov- trnment. When it became appar- ent that there would be a. shortage of fuel this coming winter, the Government offered and is paying s bonus of $2.00 a ton on all coal ivhich is water-borne to this Province, including that brought in by way of the Wood Islands ferries. This has resulted in a large influx of cook-trucks carrying produce for export do, not

Increased teachers‘ salaries and i. new technical school are but ‘two examples of this Government's contribution to Education. A new sanatorium and greatly lncrcascd hospital grants (which will be ‘further extended and enlarged to ‘include nursing homes) are but

And ‘throughout it all-although every Government service has been en- and improved and new nervicea inaugurated, - although the expenditures on public ser- Iiices has largely increased. through sound financing we are paying today less interest on the public debt than we did six years ago; and the credit oi the Prov- ince, as shown by~the favourable price received for our bonds. is the highest in Canada.

Old Age Pensions, pensions for the blind, unemployment insur- ance, floors under farm prices. family allowances: all these are but a isw example! of measures introduced by Liberal administra- tions. Policies to encourage pro- duction. l high level of employ- ment. a rising income, and pros- perity for all, are foremost among

The Liberal Party will continue to stand. as its illustrious loaders stood in the peat. regardless of the results of this or any future elec- lion, for unity. goodwill, and the open mind. It has no prejudice of

flllstl and lustice to all.

GRAVELBOURO. Sask, Nov. l0 - (OP) _ Eighty per cent of Gravelbourgb veterans who re- turned to this town of 1,200 people operate their own businesses here.

Some 60 miles southwest of Moose Jaw. Gravelbourg has'been described as a portion of Quebec transplanted to the Saskatchewan Prairie~three quarters of the population are oi French ex- | traction and its weekly newspaper

is believed to be the only bilingual paper in Western Canada.

The town was founded early in the 10th century by Father Pierre Gravel, a young missionary who gave it its name. Now some of its schools and colleges are affiliat- ed with the University of Ottawa.

There were 200 men from Cita- velbourg who enlisted in the Sec- ond World War. Included in the busi“ ~ - assessed at more than $25,000—started by returning vet- erans are two restaurants. 3y cleaning and tailoring, radio d electrical repairs, automobile parts, a shoe store and s qulck-freeae plant.

But if its statistics mean any- thing, the easiest job is held by Ken Morrison. a former captain in the provost corps, now an H. C. M. P. constable stationed here. Although Cravelbourg is s judi- cial centre and the asslze court sits twice a year, there hasn't been a case on the docket for l0 years. /

Causes Boom In Queensland Town

BY LESLIE BRDDIE- Canadlan Press Correspondent

SYDNEY. Australia, Nov. l7 — (CP) -— Blair Athol, a sleepy little coal mining town in the hottest part of Queensland, has become an overnight boom town reminiscent of the old gold rush towns of west- ern United States.

The torwn has a population of less than l,000 but in the four square mile basin surrounding it there is enough opcmcut coal to supp] all

for the next 100 years.

Business men. get-richquick in- vestors and others have been streaming into the town with offers to buy the townsfolk out at in. fluted prices ever since it became known that the Electric Supply Corp., sn English company, had made a successful deal with the Queensland government to take over the working of the mine. An offer of $05,000 was made for the towns two-floored wooden hotel. The owner refused. although 06,000 would have made him happy a month or so ago. Similarly in. flated prices have been offered for the movie show, shops and building sites, but the townsfolk also realize that their piroperltes may be worth a fortune in a few years time and refine to sell.

The Electric supply Corp.. is said to be agreeable to spend $57,000,000 on the mine and town alone. The company intends to build an electric railroad direct to the coast and develop the port they will use for an export base. To ship the coal they are to build a fleet of 14 colliers.

The company's target is 8.503.000 tons of coal a year, as against the 900,000 of ‘the two companies working it at present. The deposit is estimated to con- tain well over 200,000,000 tons of good coal with proved seams ranging from 80 to 00 feet deep with an average of leu than 30 feet oi’ earth above the seams.

The properties or! the coal il the main scam are given at: moisture, 0.8 per cent; fixed car-

DAYTON. 0., Nov 17- (NEA) -- Rural churches are learning how i0 RM? their preachers down on the farm.

They're providing the farms.

Faced with the prospect of min- isters desertirig back country par- ishes for bigger communities and determined that “the little brown lchurch in the wildwoocl" would not disappear as the little red school- lzouses have, many mldwestcrn country parishes are offering their preachers a farm of their own.
