HIGH BIRTHRATE “More and more schools will be

pe: thousand; This is higher even ath'an India’s. After World War 1 [the rate was 13.3 and in 1937 it was only 96 per 1000. In 1957 there were over 3,190,000 children in 'the schools of Canada. of these 2,700.00 were in the elementary grades. There are over 5,443,000 children under 15 years in Can- ada, roughly oneathird of our pop- ulation, but the small birthrate of the 1930’s, the depression years, is the group to furnish teachers for the present, so the problem is to find the thousands more re- quired.

“Never before has the race be- tween education and catastrophe

been so clear cut in its implica-

tions,” Miss Ganglin said.

“We are now spending about $750 millions a year on education out of a total National product of $31 billions, or about 75 cents out of every $31 of National product. It has been stated that we are fast approaching the point where real estate can no longer be the basis of taxation for education This math 1 is particularly un- just on the farmer whose wealth is too often wholly real estate. Other means of taxation must be found." . “

Miss Caughlin referred to the resolutions calling for federal ac- tion, action on the provincial level since by the B.N.A. Act educa- tion is the responsibility of the provinces, for federal-provincial cooperation and for all three levels of government, federal- provincial and municipal.

Last night’s. torrential rains undoubtedly made it difficult for some of the regular donors to turn out for the Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic held at Stella Maris Hall in' North Rustico. Although 132 donors braved the elements this was rather a disappointing result for chairman, Mr. Bert Blacquiere- and other members of the North Rustico Legion Branch which sponsored this

Members of the North Rustico Legion Branch, their Ladies’ Auxiliary, the Avonlea Women’s Institute and the Stella Maris Sub-division of the Catholic Wo- men’s League all joined together in providing willing helpers at the clinic as well as refreshments for the donors.

electrification now in progress simply would not go on.

He promised if elected to bring

in among other things a farm cre- dit and settlement plan in line wz'fh that offered by Ottawa. He suggested that in this Pro- vince, instead of one big frozen food plant, why not one in each county, since fruits and vege- tables are prishable products.

He felt, too, that a starch fac- tor; was a necessity. It had pro- ven a great help in handling the surplus potatoes in New Bruns- wick this year.

Need for. a marketing agent was noted. Last year New Brunswick sold potatoes to South America and had to come to this Province to complete the orders. With a marketing agent the Province could sell direct.

MR. MYERS

Mr. Myers spoke only briefly. He expressed thanks for the sup- port in thebyelection which elect- ed him and to the convention for unanimous support in his homin~ arion. «

He, too, said that the great road-work projects now in pro- gress would not be possible wei’e it not for the money coming from 1Ottawa. In addition to seven and a
