Bowmanville, Ontario GEQ. W. JAMES, EDIToB AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT Regardiess of politicai affiliations the people of Durham County should feel proud and honoured that their popular mnember, Major John W. Foote, in the 'Ontario Legisiature has been elevated to ,Cabinet rank as Minister of the important -'tortfolio of Reform Institutions. Major -oote has shown remarkabie administra- tive abîlity, sane judgment and commend- able courage in tackling the various dif- fîcuit and contentious problems which .have been assigned to him. He has mea- ,ured up to them ail with such marked success it was not surprising that he was asked to assume greater responsibiiities in -bis present position. We like the editorial comment of the Toronto Teiegram on Major Foote's appointment when it savs: "For the portfolio of Reform Institu- éions in the cabinet, Premier Frost has dope weil to appoint Major John Foote, ý.V.C., MPP, whose record as a citizen, as a soidier and as a publiic man has been exempiary. Eariy in World War II he 'entered the army chapiain service and was ttached to the Hamilton Lîght Infantry ~and it was with this unit that he partici- pated in the raid on Dieppe on August ~19, 1942. There he showed his mettie by going ashore with the fighting men and remaining with them to be taken prisoner so that he might minister to them in the trying conditions of the enemy prison camps. Major Foote looks on his partici- pation in that affray as nothing more than his duty. By others it was regarded as worthy of the not-lightly-awarded Victoria Cross. 'Major Foote was elected to the legis- lature in 1948 and sits for Durham. For some time he has acted as vice-chairman Sof the Liquor Control Board and has ~striven ta have the distribution and sale Sof liquor deait with as a social rather than a political problem. He has recognized that it is not one that can be easiiy handi- ed and that the approach to if must be Sbroad-minded and tolerant, through his Spersonal view has been that the sale of Sbeer and spirits should be confined to government liquor stores. As Minister of iReform Institutions SMajor Foote will be in charge of the pro- Svincial prisons and reformatories where le there are programs for the rehabilitation Sof offenders befare they are steeped in 4crime. The new Minister's temperament and training make him a particulariy suit- Sable choice to head this department of the Government." PRICE FIXING A HONEY! C.C.F. orators throughout Canada are busiiy engaged in demanding price fixing. ~They say that this is for the protection of ~the consumer, who is otherwise going ta ~be expioited. There is a C.C.F. Governmnent at SRegina, which does not seem ta feel the ksame way.: The idea there -seems t0 be Sprice fixing for the benef it of the producer -even to the extent of defying the British >~ North America Acf. hi The C.C.F. Government in Saskatche- là wan recently appointed a Honey Market- * ing Board - one of those institutions in en which Socialists have such faith. That ï, Board, of course, is to have a monopoly, sa that it may exploit con sumers ta the limit. The Board has now f ixed a price , at which Saskatchewvan honey must be sold. Manitoba honey producers are willing ta seil their product for somewhat iess Sthan this price, so that merchants in SSaskatchewan have been imporfing Man- *itoba honey, and offering it for sale along- Sside the Saskatchewan product, but at a lower price. The Saskatchewan price fixers are furjous about this. They have undertaken ta order merchants in Saskatchewan ta Ssell Manitoba honey at the price fixed by the Saskatchewan Government agency, Z and no cheaper. The Combines Investigation Board at Ottawa does not seem ta have heard about :this, but probabiy wili not do anything Sabout it when it has heard. Exploitation #> HARVESTED A GOOD CR0? Farmers ail across Canada have har- vested a bumper crop. Few seasons have been as favorable in so many parts of the nation. Nature was kind everywhere ex- cept the prairie provinces where a Sep- tember frost struck a heavy wheat stand. Nor are prospects for seliing this bountiful crop unfavorable. Heavy de- mand for agricultural products in the domestic market continues. Beef exports to the United States are large and prof it- able. Canada has retained, and is not likely to lose, its position as a major ex- porter of wheat. Not only are large quantities being moved to market, but prices are good and farm incarne continued high. Since early in World War II Canadian farmers have been producing at a high level. Except for apples and potatoes, al produce has found a ready market. How- ever, within the past 10 years the agricul- tural picture has changed. Crop acreage and numbers of livestock have been alter- ed to suit the needs. At the end of the war production was running at a high level. To meet peacetime needs, certain changes had to be made and were made in ful stride by Canadian farmers who, at the same time, produced as much as before. An example of this was Alberta's post-war change fromn hogs to grain. Feed production on f arms is now more versatile than ever before. Application of fertilizers to meet. crop needs permits changes fromn one crop to another. Pro- tection of crops and livestock with new pest control chemicals also protects farmn investments - in machinery, seed and other items. The transitional phase of farming has not .ended. More changes can be expect- ed and farmers must be prepared to meet them. To do this they will need ail the tools at their disposai and suppiiers must see these tools are availabie. IMAIL DELIVERY -POSTPONED Apparently the major obstacle con- front ing the inception of mail deliveny in Bowmanville isan economny wave initiated by the Treasury Board at Ottawa which, if is reported, has been necessitafed by increased government expenditure on war maferials. This does not mean, however, that mail delivery is not forfhcoming. According ta John M. James, Durham M.P., who has launched an active cam- paign ta bring mail delivery ta Bowman- ville, the Treasury Board has requested the Postmasfer General ta ensure that no new lef fer carrier delivery service be aufhorized unless the revenue of the con- cerned Post Office reaches $50,000 and the points of caîl 2,500. In the f ormer instance, Bowmanville does not at present qualify. The revenue earned by the Post Office here is in the neighborhood of $31,000. In the second instance, Bowmanville has an esfimated 2,200 points of cali, 300 short of the stip- ulafed qualification. However, the Town of Bowmanviile is continuaiiy increasing in size and with this in mind, if is quite passible that mail delivery could become a reaiity within the nexf two years. If is doubtful that Post Office requirements will increase. If any- thing, they couid decrease when the pre- sent economy wave terminates. Acting Posfmaster John Kent intends direcfing a leffer ta Ottawa in the near future, requesting thaf the question of door-fo-door delîvery of mail in Bowman- ville be considered by. the Postmnaster Generai. Mr. James, also, has signified his intention of foilowing the matter up fa what he hopes will be a safisfacfory conclusion. RESULTS ARE GOOD When Mr. Abbott announced that the Canadian dollar was going ta be allowed ta exchange freely for United States money, and that hie was no longer-going ta leave ifta some civil servants af Ottawa ta decide the exehange values of the two currencies, he stafed - nof in so many words, but in essence - that ail thist foreign exchange contrai business had been a flop. Events have conîpletely justified this courageous policy. The value of Canadian dollars in United States money has risen considerably. Business between the two countries has not been hurt in any way. Quit e evidenfly, for some time before this decision wvas announced, Canadians were being done in the eye by exchanging their money for Uni4ed States money af iess than thle fair rate of exchange which' the open market would f ix. There is a lesson in this. If is that ail this planned economy of which we have been hearing is of very doubtful value indeed. In the case of United States exchang-e, unless the planners happened ta hif the exact rate which the f ree market would estabiish, they were either asking Canadians ta pay more than they needed ta pay for United States goods, by setting the value of the Canadian dollar tao low, or they would have been asking the people of the United States ta pay more than they shouid for Canadian goods, by settink the value of the Canadian dollar tao high. This latter course, of course, wouid have block- ccl the sale of Canadian goods ta the Unit- ed Sftates. If could only have been by accident that the planners could have pick- ed the right figure, the figure which the open market would establish. Mr. Abbott was right. The sooner this country and other counfries get back ta allowing goods ta exchange in an open market, without ail this fiddlîng with exchange values, the better for world trade. The trade in goods will neyer be at a maximum unless currencies are allowed ta exchange freely. 0 FIFTY YEARS AGO November 17 1900 Here are extracts fromn a poî- itical speech made in Bowman- ville by Sir Wilfred Laurier: "I cberish the hope that I shall so live that when deposited in my grave every Canadian, be he friend or foe, be he English-speak- ing or French-speaking, Protest- ant or Catholic, wîll have ta, say, 'There rests a man who bas given the besf of bis life, of bis soul, o! bis heart, to make us a united people'."

You're Wrong If You Think Manitoba, A Purely Agricultural Province 1 *Canada is sucb a vast countryc that comparativeiy !ew Can-c adians neally know first handé mucb about the country and itsi people other than the province1 in which they live. Few bave the time, money or inclination ta 'See Canada Finst." Our know- ledge o! Canada f0 a large ex- 'lent therefone depends on reading- or listening to addresses. Most residents of Ontario prob-i ably look upon thein nexf door neigbbour province o! Manitoba as being punely an agriculturalî province. But a necent publica-1 tion isued by the Manitoba Dept. o! Industry and Commence and an article in the current issue o! the Canadian Geagraphical Jour- nal give an tirely different pic- ture. Manitoba now boasts o! being a province o! industry. In the comparatively short space o! two decades, the factary bas supplanted the farm in the value o! total production, and nowv almost equals the farm as a source o! employment. Diversified ag- riculture and industry bave bee'i integrated f0 provide the stability so essential for continued indus- trial growth. Manufacfuring in Manitoba is today nearly f ify times greafer than if was in the late 1880*s. There are nearly 1,600 establish- ments turning ouf a wide variety o! products whicb, in 1949. bad! an estimated grass valdle o! $483,- 000,000, a figure 128 per cent high- er than that for 1941. If is pointed ouf thaf the growth o! manufactuning in theprie province bas bad four penideo development. First there were the home industries o! the early settlers. when hand-tools wene used. Factonies became a central party o! the economy between 1880 and 1920. The years between 1921 and 1939 were characfenized by ail the problems that accomp- any the course of the businiess cycle from onè extreme to the other. The fourth period is the decade o! great and well-sustained industrial development from 1940 fa 1950. Power is described as probably the neal key f0 Manifoba's indust- niai growth. The Province's wat- en resources bave been hannessed -by privaf e and governme-it owned power companies f0 provide urb- an and rural areas with electnical energy at low rates, and the Pro- vincial Government is acting to avert a shortage by developing a power site at Pine Falls on the Winnipeg River. This is being done at a cosfof over $20,000,000 and is expected to be completed in 1952. The government also bas a plan for the infegration of al electrical power sources, and is speedily carryîng out an exten- sive programme of rural and !arm electrification. The frend towards locating in- dustries in small communities is noticeable in Manitoba. About one-third o!-the 212 new indus- tries set up in the province since the end of the war have been lo- cated outside the Greater Winni- peg area. If is estimated that dur- ing 1949 more than $21,500,000 of pnivate capital was invested in new and expanded manufactun- ing plants in Manitoba, a figure approximately 44 per cent o! the total capital and replacemnent ex- penditures mode in ail Prairie Provinces.
