Two littIe girls were looking at a picture of Josus and a desciple walking together. One little girl said, "That man walkîng with Jesus looks just like your dad. Did your dad have a beard once? Let's ask him." So they came running to Mary's dad and asked, "Did you evor walk with Jesus?" H1e looked surprised. Thon fhey fold hlm that the man walking with Jesus looked just like him.

The lessons of 1971 will be mirrorod in the events of 1972 and as the new yoar unfolds, the changing conditions of a rapidly growing and developing province present new challenges in fui- filling the promise of tomorrow- "The future is for the people and their e.tvironment." 1971 was an importtant and ev- entfui yeàr in the history of. On- tario, a year which sawthe cul- minaion of the Robart's admin- istration and the bcginniing of a ncw era under a vigorous young' prinme minister, the Hlonourable William Davis, whose decisions and 1ulfilled piedges have already lcft. their imprint on the pages of Ontario's History. The year witnessed a number of significant decisions on the part of the new Prime Minister William Davis and his govorfi- ment. 1. The hialting of the construc- tion of the Spadina Expressway lu prevent urban sprawl and de- terioration of the urban environ- ment. 2. The refusai to afccede to t.he B oinan Catholic. Separate schools for an extension of financial aid, ,in order to prevent fragmenta- tion of the Ontario school systtcm. 3. The abolition of Health IR- surance Premiums for old , agýe pensioners and those with 10w in- 4.. Thle banning of logging ln Quetieo an(! Kil1arney l'.vinicial Parks. 5. The stopping of sales of Crown Lands to'-private interests. 6, 'ficý prevention of a sellout of nai Paperback and Poriod- icalii)îstributors f0 United States intorcsts, and the provision of financial assisttance to Canadian Book Publishers. 7. The establishment o! no fault Automobile Insurance. 8. The redluction of the age of mnaiority to eighteon. 9. Increased grants for educa- bion to uuniipalities from fifty- one to fifty-five per cent to ro- liove property assessment. In ad- dition a ceiling was piaccd on'the spirailing costs o! education. Looking forward to the months of 1972, the emotionai issues of 1971 tend in the light o! reality to ]ose their significance. The 10% United States Surtax had lîttie impact on our economy and indeed our exports to the United States incroased after the tax was imposed. The United States sur- tax and other issues including concern for the environment and econornic mationalism have, how- ever, acted as catalysts, spurring Rene Brunelle, Minister of Lands and Forests, has declared that ef- fective immodiately, prohibition on1 the use o! the Ontario Hydro Iune right of way will be reiaxed. it is underlined that the ajjejdment onfly affects the hydro fllme thro(ugh Ctyde Township and thie decision will be subject to re- ieagain next year on the basis o!tecuirrent season's activities.

Certainly in 1972 we shall see greafer empbasis on pollution cont roi fhrough increased, aid to municipaiitiess in the est ablish- ment of sewage facilities and waste disposai sites. Planning on an area basis wiil become a ma- jor factor in relations between the centrai, government and mun- icipalities, and in the process, the acquiring of land for recrea- tion and conservation purposes wili ho accelerated to a marked degree. In suimmary, I am confident tliat in view o! the decisions f aken locally and the resolving o!f the world monofary. crisis,, we can look forward to a year of increas- ed, productivify, greater employ- nment, improvod living conditions, and ini general to a period of groat progress in Ontario in 1972.' To you and yours on 'behalf o! iny family and myself A Happy anud Prosperous New Year. Top Gains On ARDA Pasture Victoria County farmers are talking about the gains their cat- tie are making on the ARDA Cominunity Pasture in Eldon Township nearý Hartley, and what they are sayJng adds up toanex- pected new high in applications for the 1972 grazing season. The Victoria County ARDA Pasture is one of eight community pasture farmns established thirough the use of ARDA, funds in Ontario, Trhese farmas were intended to sup- ply a dependable souirce of past- ureý for beef and dairy farmners hoefarms 'were not large en- ougli to acýcommodate the number of animais required to produce a dersirable inicome level. Thie 2150 acres of land 110W imaing uip thie Victoria Couinty Pastuire is not yet fully developed but it provided good pasture in 1971 for 322 heifers and 238 steers from 50 neýarby farms. The steers gained an average of 251 lbs. whifle the hieifers gained 2101 lbs. Llojyd G., Bell, RR 4, Omemee, is- particuflarly pleased as he had the top ainng group of steers.
