Essay Contest Winner Taken on Tour Ontario Iold Mnues Winners of a bigh school essay contest, "How We Benefit From w Ontario's Goid Mines", 9 students in, from different parts of the Prov- ince visited famous goid mines w in the Kirkiand Lake area during IN the Easter hoiidays as guests of the Ontario Mining Association. S One of these was Gregory 2. Friend, local student at BHS, wbo returned from the trip with glow- s ing reports of bis highly interest- tc ing stay at one of Ontario*s first niining towns, the genial hospi- tality of ail those connected with s ponsoring the trip and the cordi- S ai relations with the other eight rnemnbers of the tour. The first ibig thrili of their tnrp was Thursday morning when th? went down to the deepest levelo 1 v the Wright Hargreaves, 7,200 fe below the surface, where the ter peratures of the rock are as hij as 90 degrees.

At the Lake Shore mine, adjoining. Wright Hargreaves, they visited the mine's huge tim- ber miii and treatment plant which handies more than 400,000 feet of timber each month for use underground. They saw assays being taken and tiny quantities of gold being weighed with great accuracy on delicate balances. The St alesman Sold At Following Stores Dyer's Drue Store, Newcastle D. G.

At the left is Sir James Turner, President of the International Feder- ation of Agricultural Producers, who wili preside at the con- ference. He is also President of the British Farmers' Union. In the centre is H. H. Hannam, President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, host organization to the conference. He is aiso third Vice-President of the international organization. At the right is Rt. Honourable Jas. G. Gardiner, Canada's miniister of agriculture, who is to open the international con- ference in the morning of May 31, at Guelph. 51h L 0Ss That evening the boys werg the guests at a civic dinner put o: ze. by the Kirkiand-Larder Min( ine Managers' Association. This waý ýon followed by a dance in their hon rs, or given by the Kirkland Lak( ,n Coliegiate at the Lake Shore Rec. .er reationai Club. Greg reports tha [ne it was the first dance where h( ever won two rubbers of bridge ng Early Friday morning the part: visited the Kerr Addison some 2; *miles east, by speciai bus.

The trip.vas the result of ar essay con test sponsored jointhy by ýIhe Department of Education anc the Ontario Mining Association in co-operation with the Secondary Sehool Teach ers'. Federa tion. The essay occurred as optional worhk on the schoois' curriculum lasi Eall and was open to ail students in grades 11, 12 and 13 througbout ~the Province. Nine scbool districts were rep- resented by the winners in this student tour: J. F. W. Weatherii] of University of Toronto Schools, Fred Mathews, East York Col- legiate, Gregory Friend, Bowman- ville High Sehool, Roy Heath, Parkhili High School, Douglas M. Kilpatrick of Kennedy Coilegiate Institute, Windsor, Morris Jako- wec of the Brantford Coilegiate and Vocationai School, Donald F. Sherwin of St. Catherines Col- legiate, Mike Zawaisky of the Port Arthur Technicai and Com- mercial School, Robert L. Smith of the Kirkland Lake Collegiate and Vocational Schooi. They were accompanied on the tour by Gerald Allen, Guidance Director, Jarvis Coilegiate Institute, To- ronto, and S. W. Mclntosh, secre- tary of the Ontario Mining As- sociation. Perhaps the tbing that struck Greg the most about the trip was the f act that he was 1 i 2 miles be- neath the surface of the earth. It was nearly unbearabhy bot at 80 degrees, the bumidity making it seem even warmer than if was. Another remarkable item of note was the rock-crusher miii at the Kerr Addison mine, 4,000 ft. below ground. It is contained in a huge concrete-laid excavation as high as a two story building, and its main purpose is to crush the ore to a size that facilifates its trans- fer to the mill above. Ail the mine managers, publie relations men and others connect- ed with guiding the tour, inchud- ing of course the geniai Mr. Allen and well-informed Mr. MacIntosh, freated the nine lads like kings. There was lack for nothing: splendid meals, single rooms, spirited discussions. It was also most interesting to note why the different members representing their school sections wrote the essay. Don Sherwin wants to be- come a geoiogist. Morris Jakowec. oignally of Kirkhand Lake, has a mining career in view. Roy Heath is also fascinafed by the technical side of the goid-mining industry. Robert Smith, as ahI the students resident in rnining cen- tres, wrote the essay from person- ai experience. Mike Zawalskyr, whose essay was considered the best , viewed Ontario's benefits from the goid-mining industry with perhaps a little deeper thougbt than did the others. Doug Kihpatrick's interests lie in many fields, and gold seemed to be one of them. Fred Mathews' reasons1 were not quite obvîous. but he1 had to gîve an oral composition at sehool on bis returri. J. F. W. Weatherill want.s f0 sfudy English, so therein lies bis tale, hile Gregory Friend's interests lie both in the economie as well as the journahisuic side of the subject. If is expected that an essay con- test wifh a students' tour of dîffer ent mining camps in the Province for the prize winners will be an annuai event sponsored by the1 Ontario -Mining Association and the Departmnent of Education.

J. Deachman Part uf the programn of the CCF is the nationalization of a number of different Canadian enterprises. Among these are the packing in- dusfry, banking and the manu- facture of farm implements. We shaîl leave out the first from im- mediate consideration on the ground that the packing industry is tightly competitive and mar- gins of profit are rather small. We mair also leave out the banks, they have ceased to be wicked - if they ever were. In the old days in the West there ,was a certain basic sfability about the country. There were greater rîsks in those days, interest rates were necessarily higher than they are now. Times have changed and naturally the banks changed with the times. They have a duty nof CI $TRBUToi The British Minister of Agri- DISRIBTORculture bas announced that thei British pnice for Irish fat cattie 's to be increased by 4/6 per cwt. (8 cents a pound).

Brookdale-Kingsway Nurseries Scene of Intense Activity Probablv the busiest man in Bowmanville these days is Norm- an J. Scott, BSA; MSc; manager, Brookdale-Kingsway Nurseries. Working literally n.ight and day he is supervising the work of three-score employees who daiiy keep the, work going to package and ship the scores of rush orders that pour in from. ail parts of the continent including the new Province of Newfoundland. Seen in action, Tuesday, Mr. Scott was answering long distance phone cails from. Quebece, the USA and other distant points and then transposing them to direct orders to the shipping rooms. He said that orders this year have broken ail previous records and promise to boost the year's sales totais far above the ordinary $100,000. brought Io Bowmanviile annuaily by Brookdale-Kingsway. Declaring that Service (with a big "S",) is the keynote of com- pany policy, Mr. Scott sees per- sonally to it that this is carried out. Transportation tieups are Registered and Grade HOLSTEIN SPRINGERS only to thein stockholders but to their customers. The besf thing one can say about our banking institutions is that they serve weli tbe needs of the nation and pro- vide efficient and pleasant ser- vice for those who do business 7with them. Seldom, indeed do fhey gef in the hair of their eus- tomers. But I wisb Mr. Coldweli, or some of the experts on bis staff, would tell us bow fbey are going f0 nationalize the manufacture of agnicultural implements. Their first task would be, I suppose, to buy out International Harvester Company which. has factories in Hamilton and Chatham and branches in many different areas of the Dominion. Then iA might undertake the nafionalization of the Massey-Harris Company Ltd. This wouid be no small task. The Massey-Harris Company bas suh- stanfial branches in the United States. If bas two in Great Brut- ain, one in Manchester and one in Kihmarnock, Scofland. This, if I am not mistaken, is aiso tbe homne of "Jobnny Waiker." The Massey-Harris Company bas a plant in France and branches do- ing business in a score of other counfnies. Wili the CCF take over these foreign branches? A gov- errn.lent conitrolleaà monopoly wbicb manufactures agniculfural impiements wouid then be oper- ating in foreign countries. It would have a difficult pro-b- lem in these days of intensive nationalism. Foreign counfries may *be glad enougb to have the Massey-H aTrr is Company, but there are not many countnies that wouhd relish the idea of bav- ing foreign governmenfs running serre of its industries and actu- ahly making profits out of tbemn. There is another pro-blem, the Massey-Harris Company extend- ed ifs business in foreign coun- tries in order to reduce its over- head, give full yearhy employ- ment and provide some compensa- tion for those who put their money in the business. It went after foreign business and by so do- ing buiht Up a more solid basis for its; Canadian business. No one wi]l deny the service of the Masse 'v-Harris Company to C1anadian agriculture. If bas been agreat factor in expanding our export trade. The reward for service in any democratic counrv-, is a funther extension of oppor- tunities for service. We reward mnen and corporations for their accomplishmenfs but, under the new CCF code, we, are to reverse that position. Industries which have been successfui will have the fruits of their enterprise taken away from them by order oîf the government, so thaf a new pohitical party mnay t rx' its prentice and upon them.

Wagon A bit of the atmosphere of the good old days when farmers en- joyed honest hard work to build uip this community, was seen in Bowmanvil]e on Saturday. Across from the office of The Statesman. a district farmer with a team of good horses hauling a sturdy wagon, parked with calm delib- eration at the curbstone, oblivious of honlcîng motor horns, to per- mit time for weekend shopping. This scene, now pretty rare, brought back memories that caus- ed us to take another look at the wagon, for on]y a few weeks be- fore we had given some space to a review of "Harvest Trium- phant," the new book dedicated to the story of the Massey-Harris Company which started in a smal shop in Newcastle. This book told of the pride of ownership of Massey-Harris impiements among Canadian farmers. Then we saw it. The paint had faded on the wagon at the curb after an ownersbip of probably 50 years. But the sign, "Massey- Harris" had been renewed in bright red paint at the hands of the farmer himiself. We saw in this bis pride of ownership and probabiy as well his keenness of perception that the renewal of the M-H sign was the best guar- antee of resale value if he could be induced to part with the ve- hicle. We are sorry flot to have sougbt more détails to complete this interesting story. way for a future issue. it hable to erosion. DONT go around -,orrying about those problems of pro- tection.
