If the King would grant him one year in which to accomplish this miracle it would be done The King, delighted at the pros- pect of owning a talking donkey, granted him freedom and a 'pension in order to tutor the royal beast with only 'one con- dition . . that should. the - teach the donk this experiment fails?" "Oh no!" responded the "You see, before the year is up the king may die, and failing that I may die . . . and if neither the king nor I do, it's certain that the donkey will."

Fairview Lodge for Aged Opened at Whithy by Premier Frost (Globe and Mail) ~ "Honor thy father and thy mother", Premier Leslie Frost quoted the Bib- lical commandment in opening the new, 200-bed, $826,000 Fairview Lodge . which supersedes the red brick home for the aged of Ontario County. The commandment, Mr. Frost suggested, idents suttering 1 from mild mental de- fects. The new lodge has nothing insti- ed in varying pastel shades; furni- ture is comfortable, colorful and home like; no more than four residents share any one bedroom; dining rooms tutional about it. Rooms are finish- provide the amenities of life for older residents. Total "investment in human resour- ces" for the past eight years, said the Premier, had been $649,277,428 in: Ontario: agriculture, $66,649,300; edu- cation, $207,867,444; public welfare, $128,029,183; health, $167,831,601. > e-------- --- =~ Manchester Despite bad weather the Public 8. struction of the new home, Original estimates of the building and equipment totalled $850, * which the province, oo of 1948 and 1960, would pay half, Through the co-operation of the arch- itects, Rounthwaite and Fairfield, and George Hardy, genéral contractor, the estimates had been shaved by $25,000 W. H. Westney, chairman of the county's, building committee, and Warden Ferguson Munro wore pleas- ed smiles when they compared the ac- comodation they had obtained with that of the Belleville-Hastings resid- ence, where 176 beds in-an equally * modern setting had cost about 51,0 000- 000. Mr. Frost declared that the more modern homes, of "which Fairview Lodge is the province's prize example, have proved attractive to elderly peo- ple of means, as well as to indigent persons and those with only a sub- sistence income,- The Whitby estab. lishment is provided with rooms for married couples; segregated quarters for single residents; hospital accom- ~ modation and special wards for res- four, instead of the long and rather dreary tables of other years. The buildings are steam-heated and have comfortable lounges, hobby rooms and the most modern hospital equipment in the wards for bedfast- patients. Mr. Frost announced that a training school would be started in the lodge, under the direction of Mrs. K. Read, superintendent and matron of . the home. A construction program of $7, 500, 000 in the provision of similar homes was in progress across the province, Mr. Frost said, and another $8,000,000 ° program was in prospe¢tt The Prém- jer did not feel, however, that provis- fon for older citizens should be con- fined to such homes alone; he cited the apartment project at Burlington and Owen Sound as other 'worthwhile plans. Since the turn of the century; said Mr, Frost, the numbers of citizens of Ontario over 60 years of a age had in: creased by 60 per cent, while the total population had increased only 81 per cent. Yet he did not believe that any. other province or state on, the con- tinent had done more than Ontario to | a success, Much credit is due Mrs. Samells and her pupils.

Because it is lighter and therefore easier to carry (the sleeping bag weighs only five pounds) more durable than other fabrics, dries quickly after being soaked and does not mildew or rot after exposure to moisture.

Ac- cording to a recent report, the cost of developing a new pesticide today ran- ges from $165,000 to $355,000. One firm used up $1,360,000 in developing a. single item. Another poured $150,- '000 into research without being able to market its product. But research and development costs are only part of the story. There is the questioh of safety. Will the in- gocticide injure humans, pets, farm animals?
