Quite apart from any political considerations, you have before you two entirely different points of view. The Progressive Conservative Party believes that this province has unequalled opportunities for development provided that our great resources are put to work under plans for the future which will provide the electric power and other requirements for the greatest period of expansion we have ever known. Our opponents do not believe that these opportunities for expansion exist. It is their right and their duty to express their own opinion about our future. They have done so. They do not believe in our great programme of development: They have acted accordingly and will continue to do so. * You know the record of the government and the many things it has done to ad- vance the interests of all our people. You know the tremendous programme of develop- ment which we have approved and which will go into effect if we receive your support on June the 7th. We believe that is the way to assure employment in the years ahead. On the other side you have a static point of view which thinks that all 'this development should be deferred until the threat of unemployment which they are constantly pre- dicting is actually upon us. Developments of this kind take years to complete and the best way to maintain employment in the future is to provide the power and other resources which are needed to keep employment at a high level. That is the point of view we ask you to support. z I do wish to emphasize one unusual feature of this election. The Communists in this province, relatively small in numbers, are highly organized: They are supporting the C.C.E. I recognize that the leaders of the C.C.F. Party have disavowed this support. The fact remains, however, that in every riding except two where there are UNE 7 © the party's time during the trip, FE The Westwood Friendly Circle has placed a display of six com- plete layettes in the window of the Oakville library. This dis- play is to be packed and shipped to aid in European relief after the next meeting of the Circle on June 15th. The layette Includes bonnets, jackets, bootees, beauti- fully embroidered quilts, and even soap and safety pines. Used cloth- ing is to be collected at the next meeting and added to the ship- ment. Same An unprecedented spring sale of onions and tomato plants was attributed this week by local flor- ists to the amateur gardening proclivities of Oakville's' rapidly expanding population. First move of the city dweller to go suburban, it seems, is to reach for a hoe. "Planting is much heavier than usual, which may also be due to the rocketing prices of hot house spring tomatoes," stated' Mrs. F. C. Daubney, who won't be able to fill late orders. Perkins & Sons reported a heavy run on Spanish onions, to-| matoes and peppers. "We are filling orders, but late-comers are bound to be disappointed," a rep- resentative of the firm stated. an eagle sitting on a cactus de- ies.

"How many houses did you promise to build?" came an audi- ence query. Laughter greeted the member's answer as he said: "We never promised to build one house." As heckling subsided, Mr, Hall dealt with charges of Dr. M. F. Deans that Premier Drew had failed to offer assurances he would remain in provincial poli- ties if re-elected. "Why is Dr. Deans fearful George Drew will go to Ottawa?" he asked. "Be: cause he has consistently won elections and has a better record of service than any statesman in Canada today." Referring to the $256 million provincial budget, which he term- ed "big business, second only to the Dominion budget," he held planning of the Drew government was "sound, and based on faith in the continued expansion of Ontario." - CLASSIFIED - BUSINESS DIRECTORY T.

Communist candidates who were members of the last Legislature, the C vote, large or small, is going to the support of C.C.F. candidates. This may be un- fortunate for the C.C.F., and may be against the wishes of that Party. It is apparent, however, that the policies of the C.C.F. Party find sufficient acceptance with the Com- munists to gain their support. No matter how worthy any individual C.C.F. candidate may be you have only one way of making sure that your vote is not going to be joined with a Communist vote. It should be remembered that in every country where Communism has come to power, including Russia, it came originally through an alignment with the Socialist party in that country. You may think the danger is still far away here in Canada. Only a few years ago they thought it was very far away in those countries which have been brought under Communist slavery within the past three years. The time to end the threat of Communism is while we are still strong and free, not when freedom hangs in the balance and we face one last desperate decision. This is not just an ordinary election. With democracy threatened all over the world as it is today, this is an opportunity for the people of Ontario to show by their vote that they really believe in the right to vote. Naturally I hope that you will support the candidate of our partyin your riding. No matter how you vote, however, may I urge every one of you to exercise your franchise so that we demonstrate to ourselves and to those living in less fortunate lands, that we really know the value of our freedom. Never has this province advanced so greatly as it has under the progressive policies of the present government. Our programme for the future provides for still greater de- velopment in the years ahead. With the great opportunities which are before us, I hope you will give us an overwhelming mandate to keep Ontario strong through the age Sree PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE on MONDAY JUNE 7th Published hy The Ontario Progressive Conservative Association AT THE BARGAIN COUNTER = 143 Colborne St. You can buy: Pianos, Gram- ophones, Health Ray Artic- les, Furniture, Stoves, Guns, Ranges, Skates, Clocks, Books, Lamps. and Trunks.
