Report Progress On Warble Fly Control According to Department of Agri- culture officials at Uxbridge cattle owners in the Province of Ontario have heen well pleased with the pro- © gress made to date in controlling war- ble flies. In 1952,'114° municipalities in the Province had passed the by-law and over half a million cattle were treated. In Ontario County by-laws to en- "force the Warble Fly Control Act are now in force -in five townships. In 1950 Thorah township came under the act with compulsory treatment of all cattle, while Mara followed in 1951. _Three other townships, Brock, Reach and Scugog, followed last year and hrought the number of townships in the County "under the: Act to five. The cattle owners in Uxbridge and _Scott Townships, fully aware of the benefits to be derived from a program of Warble Fly Control, held meetings last week in their respective areas. Representatives from all the school - sections in those areas were present * 'and canvassers were appointed to ob- tain signatures for the petition to-the township councils. -It is anticipated that these townships will come under 'the act this year.

The former Motor City councillor and present vice-president of the C hamber, of Commerce there, also recommended the or- ganization of a C. of (. of Oshawa in the future. In leaving the idea of promoting a | provincial park here, Mr. Hayden Mac- donald Said that such areas and re- creation centres were sadly lacking near tario. "This is most important to the future of the province . . . I propose you in the area south and east of here have the most logical spot for a provincial park in Southern Ontario." : City Group Would Héip. Mr. Macdonald stated that if Port Berry favoured the idea of forming a local Chamber of Commerce that Osh- awa organization would be willing to work together with the village 'to see that the most desirable thing could be accomplished." He pointed out that if the-interest was such here there was nothing they could do that Oshawa would not be prepared to®do to help establish a Chamber. : He stressed the values of such a move and pointed out that Port Perry would have a voice across the land which would be valuable to. thé com- munity. gress as it should if it hasn't a Cham. ber, It can bring unity through. the medium of . co-operation . J, 1 hope vou don't ever want to sec unity brought about by government decree." Port Fine Place to Live. ol Mr. Macdonald noticed that 350 citizens of the village work.in Oshawa. "I believe that if Port Perry wanted, we in Oshawa could be a potent foreed- in helping plan your community. . You could have 350 citizens of | Oshawa living in Port Perry . . . . a wonderful place to live".. He urged that if the south. Ontario county is to grow it must grow together to make it a fine and wholesome aren and a letter place to live. In his opening remarks the speaker went back 26 years and then analized the fundamental changes that took place and the reasons for them. "Those were the years when the struggle for survival was the only thing one could think of . . . We found it-difficult-to live . . It's only in the last few years that it has come to many thousands who had to do so much to ensure security that it is time to think how to live." He said Oshawa has developed a good place to work ahd a' nice place to live to.a certain degree, "I see around other places . . . primarily places in which to live.
