Thursday, Séptembér 22, 1960 The Haileyburian Page 13 THIS IS THE QUESTION Baan PROGRESS © Hoffman at Queen's Park means that our representative will have the ear of the government when this riding needs special consid- eration. © Hoffman at Queen's Park means that we have a representative who has devoted his life to public ser- vice, and who has spent 36 years of his life studying the district. © Hoffman's victory will endorse the policy of development prac- tised by Premier Frost which has made Ontario the most populous, powerful and fastest growing pro- vince in Canada. © Hoffman at Queen's Park means a better-than-even break for Tem- -iskaming. And this pioneer dis- trict needs all the consideration it can get. Look at the EDUCATION 94 new classrooms constructed in Temiska- _ ming in the past five years at a total cost of $2,115,000. In Ontario as a whole, govern- ment aid to education in 1959 totalled $214,- 766,000. Compare this with the $13,000,000 aid to education in the last year of- the pre- vious administration. HIGHWAYS Development roads in Temiskaming since 1947 have cost $796,348. Subsidies to mu- nicipalities in 1959 totalled $238,842. Com- pare this with the $34,989 paid to municipali- ties under the previous government. PHIL HOFFMAN HYDRO Frost has put hydro on the farm. Now 95 per cent of rural areas have hydro. In 1944 Ontario Hydro had 2,469,800 horsepower. Today it has 7,722,650 horsepower with new hydro plants being constructed to provide for future development. In 1943 Hydro installed 21 miles of rural line. From 1944 to 1958, a total of 26,051 miles of rural line were in- stalled, supplying 336,439 new rural cus- tomers. DEVELOPMENT Premier Frost dedicated himself to the de- velopment and expansion of Ontario. During the past nine years Ontario's population has increased by 1,491,458 people by July. Com- pare this with Saskatchewan, where the nine year increase was only 78,275. =O)R. = @ Shall we separate Temiskaming from the government ranks for the next three years? © Do we want a representative who must be a member of a party that cannot offer Ontario or Temis- kaming anything but promises? © Do we want a representative who can do nothing but criticise for the next three years all the pro- gress that has been made? © Are we going to ignore the fact that the government will be in power for the next three years? © Are we going to deny all the pro- gress made in this riding with the Frost government? Are we going to vote against continued north- ern development? Record AGRICULTURE During 1959, 165 farms in Temiskaming re- ceived $53,469 in grants towards clearing 2,174 acres. Artificial insemniation is im- Proving northern herds. Last year's grants were paid on 1,624 cattle receiving A.I. Vet- erinary services to farmers in outlying areas are subsidized. In Northern Ontario last year $21,600 were paid out to help farmers in remote areas. HEALTH The government spends more than $92,000,- 000. each year on Ontario health services. The Temiskaming Health Unit is subsidized to the extent of $55,000. annually. Recent grants to aid hospital construction included $80,000 to Englehart hospital, and $63,000 to Haileybury hospital.
