Ontario's Population Up The total population of the Pro- vince of Ontario passed the six million mark in October. Com- menting on this historic event the Prime Minister, Hon. Leslie M. Frost, stated that it represents an increase since World War II of 50 per cent. Ontario. accounted for 2,000,000 of the nation's net growth of 5,200,000 since 1945, he said. He pointed out that this milestone in the Province's progress coincides with the Day of Thanksgiving in Canada. "It was predicted 14 years ago that Ontario's population would be only 4,500,000 to-day, because the rate of increase would decline as the slim ranks of depression child- ren matured, but the prophets were wrong, he said. We were told later that we were in for a blockbuster of -a depression and that the economy was going to pot. It hasn't happened -- and it doesn't need to happen! There will - likely be seven million people in Ontario in 1966 and eight millions in 1972. | fount 6 Million in October Rising birth rates, a declining death rate and postwar immigra- tion were three major factors in increasing Ontario's population, the Prime Minister pointed out. In 1945, births were 79,000- In 1959 they will likely exceed 160,000. The rate of increase of 3.2 per cent in the past six years was one of the world's highest. The rate for the rest of Canada was 2.5 per cent. Altogether about 134 million child- ren were born in Ontario in the past 14 years, almost a million immigrants settled here and the death rate declined from 10.0 to 8.4 per 1,000 per year. With Ontario's 50 per cent in- crease in population since World War II has come a_rise of 47 per cent in the labour force to a level of 2,365,000 this year. This in- crease; said Mr. Frost, can be at- tributed to the large flow of young immigrants: 340,000 from the Unit- ed Kingdom, 143,000 from Italy, 195,000 from Germany, the Nether- lands and Austria, 38,000 from Poland, 164,000 from other Euro- ROTARY CLUB OF HAILEYBURY LEGION HALL HAILEYBURY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1959 commencing at 8:00 p.m. 'COME AND WIN YOURSELF A TURKEY ADMISSION -- 25 CENTS DOOR PRIZE -- A Zenith Royal 200 Transistor Pocket Radio Value $60.00.

The Cubs moved into a 2-1 lead in the first period on goals by Brown and Brazeau. Gourley was the marksman for the Lions. In the second period the Lions outscored the Cubs 4-2. Chitaroni and Larouche scored for the Cubs, and Hamilton (2)*Perry and Notter counted for the Lions.

This has helped to stimulate a great market expansion, 'under which Ontario's gross provincial product rose from $4.7 billions in 1945 to $13.3 bililons in 1958 and will probably reach $14 billions in 1959, the Prime Minister said. -In 14 years manufacturing has increased from a gross of $4 bil- lions to more than $10.6 billions. Farm cash incomes reached a peak of $873 millions last year. Personal incomes were away up, from $3.7 billions in 1945 to $10 billions in 1958 and will likely nudge the $10.5 billion mark this year. ' Perhaps the most spectacular rate increase has been in capital investment, from $700 millions to $3 billions. New factories, machin- ery and equipment, homes, high- ways, roads and other private and public investments have amounted to more than $28 billions or more than $2 billions average per year. Overseas shipping brought into Ontario's Lake ports through the St. Lawrence Seaway far exceeded expectations. Steel furnace capacity doubled to five million tons and pulp' and paper production rose from $118 millions to $453 millions. Mineral production leaped from $216,500,000 to almost $800,000,000 and may reach $850,000,000 this year. To serve the many new industries and 500,000 dwellings erected since 1945 the peak generating capacity of |hydro-electric power installations has been increased from 1,230,000 kwh to 5,700,000 kwh. Motor vehicle registrations of 660,000 in 1945 have increased to 1,900,000 and the Ontario govern- more than $1,000,000,00% in the provinee's network of roads and highways. New and improved highways, accommodation and other factors influenced the tour- ist business, raising it to the sta- tus of Ontario's fifth industry. In 1958, almost 1,500,000 travel ve- hicle permits were issued or more 'than 50 per cent. over 1945.

Minister believes that immigration is the key to On- tario's future prosperity but care ||must be taken not to over-expand. Someone has to. keep. a hand on the throttle to. keep the machine go- 'ing, he said, but we should gear | immigration to the general growth '|and economy of the. country.

Howard H. Clark, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, this week announced the inauguration within the Church of a continuing fund for world re- lief. The action, approved by General Synod, will enable the Church to respond quickly when financial aid is needed in times of emergency at home and abroad. The Fund, to be known as the Primate's World Re- lief Fund, is now open for contri- butions, and there will be a nation- al appeal on its behalf on Sexa- gesima Sunday, next February 21. In a letter to all clergy of the Church throughout Canada, Arch- The Haileyburian Page 3 bishop Clark said that of the amount to be raised, at least $100,- 000 will be contributed to the World Refugee Year programme sponsor- ed by the United Nations and 'sup- ported by the World Council of Churches. By this means the Ang- 'ican Church of Canada hopes to increase substantially its support of the programme of Inter-Church Aid and Service to Refugees of the World Council. Archbishop Clark said that con- tributions to the Fund are to be made through parish churches and, amounts collected are to be for- warded through diocesan synod of- lfices to the Fund's headquarters- in Toronto. He said that action will be taken , at once to make Anglicans fully ac- | quainted with current world relief | and espetially the grave | plight of refugees in Europe and needs Asia.
